The input range of of seven clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation the ADC always equals twice the voltage at the reference pin for delay (tPD) after the rising edge of the clock signal. Refer to either an internal or an external reference. Figure 2 for a detailed timing diagram. The length of the output data lines and the loads placed on VIN+ them should be minimized to reduce transients within the VIN–REFT AD9236. These transients can degrade the converter’s dynamic 0.1 F performance. ADC+0.1 F10 FCOREREFB The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9236 is 1 MSPS. At clock rates below 1 MSPS, dynamic performance can degrade. 0.1 FVREF+VOLTAGE REFERENCE10 F0.1 FSELECTLOGIC A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the SENSE AD9236. The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference voltage applied to the AD9236 using either the 0.5V internal reference or an externally applied reference voltage. The input span of the ADC tracks reference voltage changes AD9236 linearly. The various reference modes are summarized in Table 10 and described in the following sections. 03066-A-017 Figure 33. Internal Reference Configuration If the ADC is being driven differentially through a transformer, the reference voltage can be used to bias the center tap (common-mode voltage). VIN+VIN–REFTInternal Reference Connection0.1 F A comparator within the AD9236 detects the potential at the ADC+0.1 F10 FCORE SENSE pin and configures the reference into four possible REFB states, which are summarized in Table 10. If SENSE is 0.1 F grounded, the reference amplifier switch is connected to the VREF internal resistor divider (see Figure 33), setting VREF to 1 V. +10 F0.1 FSELECT Connecting the SENSE pin to VREF switches the reference R2LOGIC amplifier output to the SENSE pin, completing the loop and SENSE providing a 0.5 V reference output. If a resistor divider is connected as shown in Figure 34, the switch is again set to the R10.5V SENSE pin. This puts the reference amplifier in a noninverting mode with the VREF output defined as follows: AD9236 R2 VREF 0.5 1 03066-0-018 R1 Figure 34. Programmable Reference Configuration Table 10.
