FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The ADC08D1520 is an 8–Bit, dual channel, low
power, high performance CMOS analog-to-digital
converter that builds upon the ADC08D1000 platform.
The ADC08D1520 digitizes signals to 8 bits of
resolution at sample rates up to 1.7 GSPS. It has
expanded features compared to the ADC08D1000,
which include a test pattern output for system debug,
clock phase adjust, and selectable output
demultiplexer modes. Consuming a typical 2.0W in
Demultiplex Mode at 1.5 GSPS from a single 1.9 Volt
supply, this device is ensured to have no missing
codes over the full operating temperature range. The
unique folding and interpolating architecture, the fully
differential comparator design, the innovative design
of the internal sample-and-hold amplifier and the self-
calibration scheme enable a very flat response of all
dynamic parameters beyond Nyquist, producing a
high 7.2 Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) with a 748
MHz input signal and a 1.5 GHz sample rate while
providing a 10-18 Code Error Rate (C.E.R.) Output
formatting is offset binary and the Low Voltage
Differential Signaling (LVDS) digital outputs are
compatible with IEEE 1596.3-1996, with the
exception of an adjustable common mode voltage
between 0.8V and 1.2V.

Each converter has a selectable output demultiplexer
which feeds two LVDS buses. If the 1:2
Demultiplexed Mode is selected, the output data rate
is reduced to half the input sample rate on each bus.
When Non-Demultiplexed Mode is selected, the
output data rate on channels DI and DQ are at the
same rate as the input sample clock. The two
converters can be interleaved and used as a single 3
GSPS ADC.

The converter typically consumes less than 2.9 mW
in the Power Down Mode and is available in a 128-
pin, thermally enhanced, multi-layer ceramic quad
package and operates over the Military (-55°C ≤ TA ≤
+125°C) temperature range.
