In order to facilitate upgrading applications from a 10-bit Gig
ADC to a 12-bit Gig ADC, the ADC10D1x00 (ADC10D1500/
ADC10D1000) is designed to be pin-compatible with the
ADC12D1x00 (ADC12D1800/1600/1000). This means that a
single board layout may be designed with both resolution
ADCs in mind for more cost efficient and time-to-market prod-
uct development.
ADC10D1x00 vs. ADC12D1x00
The only difference on the pin-out between the
ADC10D1x00 and the ADC12D1x00 is that the
ADC12D1x00 has two additional data bits for each output da-
ta bank. Bits<11:2> for the ADC12D1x00 correspond to
Bits<9:0> for the ADC10D1x00. The placeholders for the two
additional bits for the ADC12D1x00 are labeled as RSV bits
on the ADC10D1x00. The RSV bits on the ADC10D1x00 cor-
respond to the two LSB, Bits<1:0>, on the ADC12D1x00, see
Table 1.

Terminating RSV pins on the
ADC10D1x00
The RSV pins may be terminated in a way which makes one
board usable for both ADC10D1x00 and ADC12D1x00, see
Figure 1. On the ADC10D1x00, the RSV pins are high
impedance, so only the 100Ω differential termination resistor
for the LVDS driver from the ADC is necessary to be com-
patible with the ADC12D1x00. However, if these pins are
terminated into an FPGA and it is necessary for them to be
forced to a known voltage, then the additional 1kΩ resistors
can be added to the design; the specific value of the 1kΩ re-
sistors may be changed based upon the requirements of the
specific FPGA. For a board which is populated with an
ADC12D1x00, the 1kΩ resistors should be left unpopulated.

Datasheet vs. Reference Board
For a few exceptions, National’s Reference Board does not
follow the datasheet recommendations for certain pin con-
nections. These exceptions are listed below in Table 2. His-
torically, the exceptions exist because the Reference Board
was developed before silicon development was finalized. In
every case, it is correct to follow the datasheet recommenda-
tion. ‘DNC’ stands for ‘Do Not Connect’ and ‘NC’ stands for
‘Not Connected.’
