GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD9642
is a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with
sampling speeds of up to 250 MSPS. The
AD9642
is designed to
support communications applications, where low cost, small
size, wide bandwidth, and versatility are desired.
The ADC core features a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. The
ADC features wide bandwidth inputs that can support a variety
of user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference
eases design considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) is
provided to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty
cycle, allowing the converter to maintain excellent performance.
The ADC output data is routed directly to the external
14-bit LVDS output port.
Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings,
when desired.
Programming for setup and control is accomplished using a
3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.
The
AD9642
is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and is specified
over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This
product is protected by a U.S. patent.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

5.
Integrated 14-bit, 170 MSPS/210 MSPS/250 MSPS ADC.
Operation from a single 1.8 V supply and a separate digital
output driver supply accommodating LVDS outputs.
Proprietary differential input maintains excellent SNR
performance for input frequencies of up to 350 MHz.
3-pin, 1.8 V SPI port for register programming and readback.
Pin compatibility with the
AD9634,
allowing a simple migra-
tion from 14 bits to 12 bits, and with the
AD6672.
