PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

AD585
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
DIP
LCC/PLCC Package
The AD585 is a complete monolithic sample-and-hold circuit
consisting of a high performance operational amplifier in series
with an ultralow leakage analog switch and a FET input inte-
grating amplifier. An internal holding capacitor and matched
applications resistors have been provided for high precision and
applications flexibility.
The performance of the AD585 makes it ideal for high speed
10- and 12-bit data acquisition systems, where fast acquisition
time, low sample-to-hold offset, and low droop are critical. The
AD585 can acquire a signal to
±
0.01% in 3
µs
maximum, and
then hold that signal with a maximum sample-to-hold offset of
3 mV and less than 1 mV/ms droop, using the on-chip hold
capacitor. If lower droop is required, it is possible to add a
larger external hold capacitor.
The high speed analog switch used in the AD585 exhibits
aperture jitter of 0.5 ns, enabling the device to sample full scale
(20 V peak-to-peak) signals at frequencies up to 78 kHz with
12-bit precision.
The AD585 can be used with any user-defined feedback net-
work to provide any desired gain in the sample mode. On-chip
precision thin-film resistors can be used to provide gains of +1,
–1, or +2. Output impedance in the hold mode is sufficiently
low to maintain an accurate output signal even when driving the
dynamic load presented by a successive-approximation A/D
converter. However, the output is protected against damage
from accidental short circuits.
The control signal for the HOLD command can be either active
high or active low. The differential HOLD signal is compatible
with all logic families, if a suitable reference level is provided. An
on-chip TTL reference level is provided for TTL compatibility.

range and packaged in a 20-pin PLCC. The AQ grade is speci-
fied for the –25°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and is
packaged in a 14-pin cerdip. The SQ and SE grades are speci-
fied for the –55°C to +125°C military temperature range and
are packaged in a 14-pin cerdip and 20-pin LCC.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The fast acquisition time (3
µs)
and low aperture jitter
(0.5 ns) make it the first choice for very high speed data
acquisition systems.
2. The droop rate is only 1.0 mV/ms so that it may be used in
slower high accuracy systems without the loss of accuracy.
3. The low charge transfer of the analog switch keeps sample-to
hold offset below 3 mV with the on-chip 100 pF hold capaci-
tor, eliminating the trade-off between acquisition time and
S/H offset required with other SHAs.
4. The AD585 has internal pretrimmed application resistors for
applications versatility.
5. The AD585 is complete with an internal hold capacitor for
ease of use. Capacitance can be added externally to reduce
the droop rate when long hold times and high accuracy are
required.
6. The AD585 is recommended for use with 10- and 12-bit
successive-approximation A/D converters such as AD573,
AD574A, AD674A, AD7572 and AD7672.
7. The AD585 is available in versions compliant with MIL-STD-
883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products Databook
or current AD585/883B data sheet for detailed specifications.

SAMPLED DATA SYSTEMS
In sampled data systems there are a number of limiting factors
in digitizing high frequency signals accurately. Figure 9 shows
pictorially the sample-and-hold errors that are the limiting fac-
tors. In the following discussions of error sources the errors will
be divided into the following groups: 1. Sample-to-Hold Transi-
tion, 2. Hold Mode and 3. Hold-to-Sample Transition.

Figure 9. Pictorial Showing Various S/H Characteristics
SAMPLE-TO-HOLD TRANSITION
Figure 11 shows the entire range of errors induced by aperture
jitter with respect to the input signal frequency.
The aperture delay time is the time required for the sample-and-
hold amplifier to switch from sample to hold. Since this is effec-
tively a constant then it may be tuned out. If however, the
aperture delay time is not accounted for then errors of the mag-
nitude as shown in Figure 10 will result.
Figure 11. Aperture Jitter Error vs. Frequency
Sample-to-hold offset is caused by the transfer of charge to the
holding capacitor via the gate capacitance of the switch when
switching into hold. Since the gate capacitance couples the
switch control voltage applied to the gate on to the hold capaci-
tor, the resulting sample-to-hold offset is a function of the logic
level .
Figure 10. Aperture Delay Error vs. Frequency
To eliminate the aperture delay as an error source the sample-
to-hold command may be advanced with respect to the input
signal .
Once the aperture delay time has been eliminated as an error
source then the aperture jitter which is the variation in aperture
delay time from sample-to-sample remains. The aperture jitter is
a true error source and must be considered. The aperture jitter
is a result of noise within the switching network which modu-
lates the phase of the hold command and is manifested in the
variations in the value of the analog input that has been held.
The aperture error which results from this jitter is directly re-
lated to the dV/dT of the analog input.
The error due to aperture jitter is easily calculated as shown be-
low. The error calculation takes into account the desired accu-
racy corresponding to the resolution of the N-bit A/D converter.
The logic inputs were designed for application flexibility and,
therefore, a wide range of logic thresholds. This was achieved by
using a differential input stage for HOLD and
HOLD.
Figure 1
shows the change in the sample-to-hold offset voltage based
upon an independently programmed reference voltage. Since
the input stage is a differential configuration, the offset voltage
is a function of the control voltage range around the pro-
grammed threshold voltage.
The sample-to-hold offset can be reduced by adding capacitance
to the internal 100 pF capacitor and by using
HOLD
instead of
HOLD. This may be easily accomplished by adding an external
capacitor between Pins 7 and 8. The sample-to-hold offset is
then governed by the relationship:

The addition of an external hold capacitor also affects the acqui-

respect to the C

is shown graphically in Figure 2.
HOLD MODE
The Nyquist theorem states that a band-limited signal which is
sampled at a rate at least twice the maximum signal frequency
can be reconstructed without loss of information. This means
that a sampled data system must sample, convert and acquire
the next point at a rate at least twice the signal frequency. Thus
the maximum input frequency is equal to

In the hold mode there are two important specifications that
must be considered; feedthrough and the droop rate. Feedthrough
errors appear as an attenuated version of the input at the output
while in the hold mode. Hold-Mode feedthrough varies with fre-
quency, increasing at higher frequencies. Feedthrough is an im-
portant specification when a sample and hold follows an analog
multiplexer that switches among many different channels.
Hold-mode droop rate is the change in output voltage per unit
of time while in the hold mode. Hold-mode droop originates as
leakage from the hold capacitor, of which the major leakage
current contributors are switch leakage current and bias current.
The rate of voltage change on the capacitor dV/dT is the ratio of
the total leakage current I
L
to the hold capacitance C
H
.

DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS
The fast acquisition time of the AD585 when used with a high
speed A/D converter allows accurate digitization of high fre-
quency signals and high throughput rates in multichannel data
acquisition systems. The AD585 can be used with a number of
different A/D converters to achieve high throughput rates. Fig-
ures 12 and 13 show the use of an AD585 with the AD578 and
AD574A.
For the AD585 in particular;

Additionally the leakage current doubles for every 10°C increase
in temperature above 25°C; therefore, the hold-mode droop rate
characteristic will also double in the same fashion. The hold-mode
droop rate can be traded-off with acquisition time to provide the
best combination of droop error and acquisition time. The tradeoff
is easily accomplished by varying the value of C
EXT
.
Since a sample and hold is used typically in combination with
an A/D converter, then the total droop in the output voltage has
to be less than 1/2 LSB during the period of a conversion. The
maximum allowable signal change on the input of an A/D
converter is:
