PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. Integrated, dual version of the AD9235—a 12-bit,
20 MSPS/40 MSPS/65 MSPS ADC.
The AD9238 is a dual, 3V, 12-bit, 20 MSPS/40 MSPS/65 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter. It features dual high performance
sample-and-hold amplifiers and an integrated voltage reference.
The AD9238 uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture
with output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy and
guarantee no missing codes over the full operating temperature
range at data rates up to 65 MSPS.
2. Speed grade options of 20 MSPS, 40 MSPS, and 65 MSPS
allow flexibility between power, cost, and performance to suit
an application.
3. The AD9238 operates from a single 3V power supply and
features a separate digital output driver supply to accommo-
date 2.5V and 3.3V logic families.
The wide bandwidth, differential SHA allows for a variety of
user selectable input ranges and offsets including single-ended
applications. It is suitable for various applications including multi-
plexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive
channels and for sampling inputs at frequencies well beyond the
Nyquist rate.The AD9238 is suitable for applications in commu-
nications, imaging, and medical ultrasound.
4. Low power consumption:
AD9238-20 operating at 20 MSPS consumes a low 180 mW.
AD9238-40 operating at 40 MSPS consumes a low 330 mW.
AD9238-65 operating at 65 MSPS consumes a low 600 mW.
5. The patented SHA input maintains excellent performance for
input frequencies up to 100 MHz and can be configured for
single-ended or differential operation.
Dual single-ended clock inputs are used to control all internal con-
version cycles. A duty cycle stabilizer is available on the AD9238-65
and can compensate for wide variations in the clock duty cycle,
allowing the converters to maintain excellent performance.The
digital output data is presented in either straight binary or twos
complement format. Out-of-range signals indicate an overflow
condition, which can be used with the most significant bit to deter-
mine low or high overflow.
6. Typical channel isolation of 80 dB @ fIN = 10 MHz.
7. The clock duty cycle stabilizer (AD9238-65 only) maintains
performance over a wide range of clock duty cycles.
8. The OTR output bits indicate when either input signal is
beyond the selected input range.
9. Multiplexed data output option enables single-port operation
from either data port A or data port B.
Fabricated on an advanced CMOS process, the AD9238 is avail-
able in a space saving 64-lead LQFP and is specified over the
industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
