MCP37231/21-200 AND MCP37D31/21-200
Description
The MCP37231/21-200 is Microchip's baseline 16-/14-
bit 200 Msps pipelined ADC family, featuring built-in
high-order digital decimation filters, gain and offset
adjustment per channel and fractional delay recovery.
The MCP37D31/21-200 device family features digital
down-conversion and CW beamforming capability, in
addition to the features offered by the MCP37231/21-
200.
All devices feature harmonic distortion correction and
DAC noise cancellation that enable high-performance
specifications with SNR of 74.7 dBFS (typical), and
SFDR of 90 dBc (typical).
These A/D converters exhibit industry-leading low-
power performance with only 490 mW operation while
using the LVDS interface at 200 Msps. This superior
low-power operation coupled with high dynamic
performance makes these devices ideal for various
high-performance, high-speed data acquisition
systems, including communications equipment, radar
and portable instrumentation.
The output decimation filter option improves SNR
performance up to 93.5 dBFS with the 512x decimation
setting. The digital down-conversion option, in
conjunction with the decimation and quadrature output
options, offers great flexibility in digital communication
system design, including cellular base-stations and
narrow-band communications. Gain, phase and DC
offset can be adjusted independently for each input
channel, allowing for simplified implementation of CW
beamforming and ultrasound Doppler imaging
applications.
These devices can have up to eight differential input
channels through an input MUX. The sampling rate is
up to 200 Msps when a single channel is used, or
25 Msps per channel when all eight input channels are
used.
In dual or octal-channel mode, the Fractional Delay
Recovery (FDR) feature digitally corrects the difference
in sampling instance between different channels, so
that all inputs appear to have been sampled at the
same time.
The device samples the analog input on the rising edge
of the clock. The digital output code is available after 28
clock cycles of data latency. Latency will increase if any
of the digital signal post-processing (DSPP) options are
enabled.
AutoSync mode offers a great design flexibility when
multiple devices are used in applications. It allows
multiple devices to sample input synchronously at the
same clock.
The differential full-scale analog input range is
programmable up to 2.975 V
P-P
. The ADC output data
can be coded in two's complement or offset binary
representation, with or without the data randomizer
option. The output data is available as full-rate CMOS
or Double-Data-Rate (DDR) LVDS. Additionally, a
serialized LVDS option is also available for the 16-bit
octal-channel mode.
These devices also include various features designed
to maximize flexibility in the user’s applications and
minimize system cost, such as a programmable PLL
clock, output data rate control and phase alignment
and programmable digital pattern generation. The
device’s operational modes and feature sets are
configured by setting up the user-programmable
registers.
The device is available in Pb-free TFBGA-121 and
VTLA-124 packages. The device with a TFBGA-121
Package is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive
applications and operates over the extended
temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
