The AD9221, AD9223, and AD9220 are a generation of high
performance, single supply 12-bit analog-to-digital converters.
Each device exhibits true 12-bit linearity and temperature drift
performance
1
as well as 11.5-bit or better ac performance.
2
The
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 share the same interface options,
package, and pinout. Thus, the product family provides an upward
or downward component selection path based on performance,
sample rate and power. The devices differ with respect to their
specified sampling rate, and power consumption, which is reflected
in their dynamic performance over frequency.
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 combine a low cost, high speed
CMOS process and a novel architecture to achieve the resolution
and speed of existing hybrid and monolithic implementations at
a fraction of the power consumption and cost. Each device is a
complete, monolithic ADC with an on-chip, high performance,
low noise sample-and-hold amplifier and programmable voltage
reference. An external reference can also be chosen to suit the
dc accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application.
The devices use a multistage differential pipelined architecture
with digital output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accu-
racy at the specified data rates and to guarantee no missing
codes over the full operating temperature range.
The input of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is highly flexible,
allowing for easy interfacing to imaging, communications, medi-
cal, and data-acquisition systems. A truly differential input
structure allows for both single-ended and differential input
interfaces of varying input spans. The sample-and-hold

amplifier (SHA) is equally suited for both multiplexed sys-
tems that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive channels
as well as sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to
and beyond the Nyquist rate. Also, the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220
is well suited for communication systems employing Direct-
IF down conversion since the SHA in the differential input
mode can achieve excellent dynamic performance
far beyond
its
specified Nyquist frequency.
2
A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion
cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary
output format. An out-of-range (OTR) signal indicates an over-
flow condition that can be used with the most significant bit to
determine low or high overflow.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 family offers a complete single-
chip sampling 12-bit, analog-to-digital conversion function in
pin compatible 28-lead SOIC and SSOP packages.
Flexible Sampling Rates—The AD9221, AD9223, and AD9220
offer sampling rates of 1.5 MSPS, 3.0 MSPS, and 10.0 MSPS,
respectively.
Low Power and Single Supply—The AD9221, AD9223, and
AD9220 consume only 59 mW, 100 mW, and 250 mW, respec-
tively, on a single 5 V power supply.
Excellent DC Performance Over Temperature—The AD9221/
AD9223/AD9220 provide 12-bit linearity and temperature drift
performance.

above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-

device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions
are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Aperture jitter is the variation in aperture delay for successive
samples and is manifested as noise on the input to the A/D.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA) performance and is measured from the rising edge of the
clock input to when the input signal is held for conversion.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (S/N+D, SINAD) Ratio
S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
S/N+D is expressed in decibels.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the num-
ber of bits. Using the following formula,
N
=
(
SINAD
– 1.76
)
/ 6.02
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as
N,
the effective number of bits.
Thus, effective number of bits for a device for sine wave inputs
at a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its
measured SINAD.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full scale.”
The point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the
first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1 1/2
LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured
from the middle of each particular code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic com-
ponents to the rms value of the measured input signal and is
expressed as a percentage or in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed
no missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096
codes, respectively, must be present over all operating ranges.
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc. The value
for SNR is expressed in decibels.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the
input signal and the peak spurious signal.
