Track and Hold (T/H) RTH030

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The RTH030 is a dual track-and-hold device designed for high-speed signal sampling from DC to multi-GHz frequencies. It features an 8 GHz input bandwidth and a sampling rate of 1 GS/s, with two independently clocked track-and-hold circuits (TH1 and TH2) for sub-sampling applications.
Key Features
  • 8 GHz input bandwidth with differential input/output.
  • Sampling rate of 100 - 1000 MHz for TH1 and 10 - 1000 MHz output data rate for TH2.
  • Low hold mode distortion and aperture jitter of less than 50 fs.
  • Acquisition time of less than 200 ps and rise time of less than 25 ps.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
  • Supply voltages: -1 to +6 V for VCC to GND and -6 to +1 V for VEE to GND.
  • Input voltages: -1 to +1 V for INP, INN, CLK1P, CLK1N, CLK2P, CLK2N to GND.
  • Operating temperature: -15 to +85 °C; storage temperature: -40 to 125 °C.
DC Electrical Specifications
  • Gain: -3.6 to -2.7 dB.
  • Offset voltage: 18 mV.
  • Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR): -60 dB.
AC Electrical Specifications
  • Track bandwidth: 1000 MHz with gain flatness deviation of ±0.5 dB.
  • Integrated noise: 300 μV; noise floor: 9 nV/√Hz.
  • Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) specified for various frequencies and input levels.
Operating Conditions
  • Clock input amplitude: 200 to 1000 mVpp.
  • Analog input full-scale range: 1500 mVpp.
  • Power supply: VCC = 5V and VEE = -5.2V.
Pin Description
  • Power supply pins: GND, VCC, VEE.
  • Clock inputs: CLK1P, CLK1N, CLK2P, CLK2N.
  • Analog inputs: INP, INN.
  • Track Mode Select (TMS) for sampled operation.
Pin Configuration
The RTH030-QP is a 24-lead Quad Flat Package (QFP) with specific pin assignments for analog outputs and ground connections in track mode.
Definitions of Terms
Key terms include Acquisition Time, Aperture Delay, Aperture Jitter, Clock Jitter, Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), Full Scale Range (FSR), Gain, Input Bandwidth, Settling Time, Spectrum, Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR), and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Theory of Operation
The device features two track-and-hold circuits (TH1 and TH2) in series, with clock shaping circuitry and a 50-ohm output driver. TH1 is crucial for dynamic performance, utilizing Schottky diodes for high-speed sampling. Low-jitter clock sources are required for optimal performance.
Signal Descriptions
Inputs are terminated with 50 Ω to GND, designed for 1 Vpp differential input signals. Differential input is recommended for optimal performance. Clock inputs also require differential signals to minimize distortion.
Typical Operating Circuit
A typical interface circuit diagram is provided for sampled mode operation, with instructions for connecting the Track Mode Select (TMS) for track mode operation.
Specifications
The RTH030 features differential inputs terminated on-chip with 50 Ω to ground. The die plot and pad arrangement are configured in a ground-signal-ground-signal-ground (GSGSG) pattern to minimize inductive coupling.
Performance
Figures illustrate the typical performance of the RTH030, showing SFDR, THD, and input bandwidth across various input frequencies and amplitudes.
Die and Package Information
The die size is 75 x 55 x 7 mils with a pad pitch of 5.91 mil. The package outline and footprint are detailed with dimensions in inches and millimeters.

Functional Block Diagram Product Description RTH030’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 RTH030 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.
