APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Encode Input
The signal quality of the encode inputs strongly affects
the A/D noise performance. The encode inputs should
be treated as analog signals—do not route them next to
digital traces on the circuit board. There are two modes
of operation for the encode inputs: the differential encode
mode (Figure 10), and the single-ended encode mode
(Figure 11).
The differential encode mode is recommended for sinu-
soidal, PECL, or LVDS encode inputs (Figures 12, 13). The
encode inputs are internally biased to 1.2V through 10k
equivalent resistance. The encode inputs can be taken above
VDD (up to 3.6V), and the common mode range is from 1.1V
to 1.6V. In the differential encode mode, ENC– should stay
at least 200mV above ground to avoid falsely triggering the
single-ended encode mode. For good jitter performance
ENC+ should have fast rise and fall times.
The single-ended encode mode should be used with
CMOS encode inputs. To select this mode, ENC– is con-
nected to ground and ENC+ is driven with a square wave

encode input. ENC+ can be taken above VDD (up to 3.6V)
so 1.8V to 3.3V CMOS logic levels can be used. The ENC+
threshold is 0.9V. For good jitter performance ENC+ should
have fast rise and fall times. If the encode signal is turned
off or drops below approximately 500kHz, the A/D enters
nap mode.

Clock PLL and Duty Cycle Stabilizer
The encode clock is multiplied by an internal phase-locked
loop (PLL) to generate the serial digital output data. If the
encode signal changes frequency or is turned off, the PLL
requires 25µs to lock onto the input clock.
A clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit allows the duty cycle
of the applied encode signal to vary from 30% to 70%.
In the serial programming mode it is possible to disable
the duty cycle stabilizer, but this is not recommended. In
the parallel programming mode the duty cycle stabilizer
is always enabled.
