General Description

The CLC5955 is a monolithic 11-bit, 55MSPS analog-to-digital

converter. The device has been optimized for use in IF-sampled

digital receivers and other applications where high resolution,

high sampling rate, wide dynamic range, low power dissipation,

and compact size are required. The CLC5955 features differential

analog inputs, low jitter differential universal clock inputs, a low

distortion track-and-hold with 0-300MHz input bandwidth, a bandgap

voltage reference, data valid clock output, TTL compatible CMOS

(3.3V or 2.5V) programmable output logic, and a proprietary multi-

stage quantizer. The CLC5955 is fabricated on the ABIC-V 0.8

micron BiCMOS process.

The CLC5955 features a 74dBc spurious free dynamic range

(SFDR) and a 64dB signal to noise ratio (SNR). The wideband

track-and-hold allows sampling of IF signals to greater than

250MHz. The part produces two-tone, dithered, SFDR of 83dBFS

at 75MHz input frequency. The differential analog input provides

excellent common mode rejection, while the differential universal

clock inputs minimize jitter. The 48-pin TSSOP package provides

an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a

critical consideration. The CLC5955 operates from a single +5V

power supply. Operation over the industrial temperature range of

-40°C to +85°C is guaranteed. National Semiconductor tests

each part to verify compliance with the guaranteed specifications.
