Track and Hold (T/H) RTH040

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The RTH040 is a dual track-and-hold device with an 11 GHz input bandwidth and a 1 GS/s sampling rate. It features differential analog input/output and offers a held output for more than half a clock cycle, easing bandwidth requirements for subsequent circuitry. The device allows independent clocking of its two track-and-hold circuits, TH1 and TH2, for flexible sub-sampling applications.

Specifications
The RTH040 operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to 125°C. It requires a positive power supply of +5.0V (VCC) and a negative power supply of -5.2V (VEE). A proper heatsink is recommended for optimal performance.
Pin Description
The device includes power supply ground (GND), clock inputs (CLK1P, CLK1N, CLK2P, CLK2N), analog inputs (INP, INN), and analog outputs (OUTP, OUTN). The Track Mode Select (TMS) pin allows for sampled operation or track mode.
Definitions of Terms
  • Acquisition Time (tacq): Time for the track-and-hold circuit to track the input.
  • Aperture Delay (ta): Delay between the hold command and the sampling of the analog input.
  • Aperture Jitter (Δt): Standard deviation of the delay between the hold command and sampling, excluding clock source jitter.
  • Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR): Ratio of differential output to input on either pin.
  • Full Scale Range (FSR): Maximum input level difference for device performance.
Theory of Operation
The RTH040 contains two track-and-hold circuits (TH1 and TH2) in series. TH1 is responsible for dynamic sampled-mode performance, while TH2 has a lower bandwidth requirement. The device uses differential analog input signals and requires low-jitter clock sources for optimal performance.
Signal Descriptions
The RTH040 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 clock signals are recommended for optimal performance.
Specifications
The RTH040 operates in a track-and-hold mode with grounding the TMS to put both TH1 and TH2 in track-mode, drawing up to 0.75 mA of current. It features a highly differential design requiring modest power supply decoupling.
Procedures
For optimal performance, ensure all differential inputs are terminated on-chip with 50 Ω to GND. A typical interface circuit is provided for reference.
Performance
Figures illustrate typical performance metrics such as SFDR, THD, and input bandwidth across varying input frequencies and amplitudes.
Die Plot and Pad Arrangement
The RTH040 features a GSGSG configuration for inputs and outputs, with clock signals arranged orthogonally to minimize inductive coupling.
Package Information
The RTH040 is housed in a 24 lead metallized ceramic base glass sidewall Quad Flat Pack (QFP) with a thermal impedance of approximately 15 °C/W.

Functional Block Diagram Product Description RTH040’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 RTH040 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 (as low as 10 MHz) further relaxes this requirement for sub-sampling applications.
