Pin Description and Pin Out
The RTH020-HD features a 13-lead HSD package with key pins for power supply (VCC and VEE), clock inputs (CLK1P, CLK1N, CLK2P, CLK2N), analog inputs (INP, INN), and outputs (OUTP, OUTN). Proper pin configuration is crucial for device operation.
Definitions of Terms
This section explains terms like Acquisition Time, Aperture Delay, and Aperture Jitter, essential for understanding the track-and-hold circuit's performance in high-speed applications.
Theory of Operation
The RTH020 contains two track-and-hold circuits in series, with clock shaping circuitry and a 50-ohm output driver. The document emphasizes low-jitter clock sources and differential design for maximizing dynamic range and noise insensitivity.
Signal Descriptions
The RTH020 inputs are terminated with 50 Ω to GND, designed for 1 Vpp differential input signals, and can handle common-mode offsets up to ±100 mV. Differential input and clock signals are recommended for optimal performance.
Recommendations and Best Practices
For optimal performance, use differential inputs and clocks, ensure proper power supply decoupling, and handle the track-mode select (TMS) appropriately for different operational modes.
Specifications
The RTH020 operates with low-impedance supplies and features on-chip termination for differential inputs with 50 Ω to ground.
Procedures
The typical operating circuit is illustrated, showing the interface circuit in sampled mode. For track mode, TMS should be connected to ground.
Performance
Performance graphs for SFDR, THD, and input bandwidth are provided across various input frequencies and amplitudes.
Design and Layout
The RTH020 die features a ground-signal-ground-signal-ground configuration to minimize inductive coupling, with a die size of 75 x 55 x 7 mils and a pad pitch of 5.91 mil.
Package Information
The device is housed in a 13 lead HSD package with a thermal impedance of approximately 8 °C/W, sealed with epoxy, with detailed dimensions provided in the package outline and footprint diagrams.

Functional Block Diagram Product Description RTH020’s bandwidth and aperture jitter enable 1 GS/s accurate sampling of DC to multi-GHz signals. The differential-to-differential dual trackand-hold cascades two track-and-hold circuits, TH1 and TH2. The RTH020 provides a held output for more than half a clock cycle, easing bandwidth requirements of subsequent circuitry relative to the case of a single track-and-hold (TH). The option to independently clock TH1 and TH2 further relaxes this requirement for subsampling applications.
