PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Integrated dual, 14-bit, 170 MSPS/250 MSPS ADC.
2. The configurable JESD204B output block supports up to
5 Gbps per lane.
3. An on-chip, phase-locked loop (PLL) allows users to provide
a single ADC sampling clock; the PLL multiplies the ADC
sampling clock to produce the corresponding JESD204B
data rate clock.
4. Support for an optional RF clock input to ease system board
design.
5. Proprietary differential input maintains excellent SNR
performance for input frequencies of up to 400 MHz.
6. Operation from a single 1.8 V power supply.
7. Standard serial port interface (SPI) that supports various
product features and functions such as controlling the clock
DCS, power-down, test modes, voltage reference mode, over
range fast detection, and serial output configuration.

AD9250
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD9250
is a dual, 14-bit ADC with sampling speeds of up
to 250 MSPS. The
AD9250
is designed to support communications
applications where low cost, small size, wide bandwidth, and
versatility are desired.
The ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. The
ADC cores feature wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety
of user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided
to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing
the converters to maintain excellent performance. The JESD204B
high speed serial interface reduces board routing requirements
and lowers pin count requirements for the receiving device.
Data Sheet
By default, the ADC output data is routed directly to the two
JESD204B serial output lanes. These outputs are at CML voltage
levels. Four modes support any combination of M = 1 or 2 (single
or dual converters) and L = 1 or 2 (one or two lanes). For dual
ADC mode, data can be sent through two lanes at the maximum
sampling rate of 250 MSPS. However, if data is sent through
one lane, a sampling rate of up to 125 MSPS is supported.
Synchronization inputs (SYNCINB± and SYSREF±) are provided.
Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings,
when desired. Programmable overrange level detection is
supported for each channel via the dedicated fast detect pins.
Programming for setup and control are accomplished using a
3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.
The
AD9250
is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and is specified
over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
