AD9208Data SheetGENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9208 is a dual, 14-bit, 3 GSPS analog-to-digital converter capability. The signal monitoring block provides additional (ADC). The device has an on-chip buffer and a sample-and- information about the signal being digitized by the ADC. hold circuit designed for low power, small size, and ease of use. The user can configure the Subclasss 1 JESD204B-based high This product is designed to support communications applications speed serialized output in a variety of one-lane, two-lane, four- capable of direct sampling wide bandwidth analog signals of up lane, and eight-lane configurations, depending on the DDC to 5 GHz. The −3 dB bandwidth of the ADC input is 9 GHz. configuration and the acceptable lane rate of the receiving logic The AD9208 is optimized for wide input bandwidth, high sampling device. Multidevice synchronization is supported through the rate, excellent linearity, and low power in a small package. SYSREF± and SYNCINB± input pins. The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined The AD9208 has flexible power-down options that allow architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each significant power savings when desired. All of these features can ADC features wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of be programmed using a 3-wire serial port interface (SPI). user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference eases design considerations. The analog input and clock signals The AD9208 is available in a Pb-free, 196-ball BGA, specified are differential inputs. The ADC data outputs are internally over the −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. This connected to four digital downconverters (DDCs) through a product is protected by a U.S. patent. crossbar mux. Each DDC consists of up to five cascaded signal Note that throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such processing stages: a 48-bit frequency translator (numerically as FD_A/GPIO_A0, are referred to either by the entire pin controlled oscillator (NCO)), and up to four half-band decimation name or by a single function of the pin, for example, FD_A, filters. The NCO has the option to select preset bands over the when only that function is relevant. general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins, which enables the PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS selection of up to three bands. Operation of the AD9208 between the DDC modes is selectable via SPI-programmable profiles. 1.
