GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD9484 is an 8-bit, monolithic, sampling analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) optimized for high performance, low power,
and ease of use. The part operates at up to a 500 MSPS conver-
sion rate and is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance
in wideband carrier and broadband systems. All necessary
functions, including a sample-and-hold and voltage reference,
are included on the chip to provide a complete signal conversion
solution. The VREF pin can be used to monitor the internal
reference or provide an external voltage reference (external
reference mode must be enabled through the SPI port).
The ADC requires a 1.8 V analog voltage supply and a differen-
tial clock for full performance operation. The digital outputs are
LVDS (ANSI-644) compatible and support twos complement,
offset binary format, or Gray code. A data clock output is available
for proper output data timing.
Fabricated on an advanced BiCMOS process, the AD9484 is availa-
ble in a 56-lead LFCSP, and is specified over the industrial
temperature range (40°C to +85°C). This product is protected
by a U.S. patent.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
High Performance.
Maintains 47 dBFS SNR at 500 MSPS with a 250 MHz input.
2.
Ease of Use.
LVDS output data and output clock signal allow interface
to current FPGA technology. The on-chip reference and
sample-and-hold provide flexibility in system design. Use
of a single 1.8 V supply simplifies system power supply design.
3.
Serial Port Control.
Standard serial port interface supports various product
functions, such as data formatting, power-down, gain
adjust, and output test pattern generation.
