GENERAL DESCRIPTION
flexibility and minimize system cost, such as programmable
clock and data alignment and programmable digital test pattern
generation. The available digital test patterns include built-in
deterministic and pseudorandom patterns, along with custom user-
defined test patterns entered via the serial port interface (SPI®).
The AD9252 is an octal, 14-bit, 50 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit that
is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use.
The product operates at a conversion rate of up to 50 MSPS and
is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance and low
power in applications where a small package size is critical.
The AD9252 is available in a Pb-free, 64-lead LFCSP package. It is
specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
The ADC requires a single 1.8 V power supply and LVPECL-/
CMOS-/LVDS-compatible sample rate clock for full performance
operation. No external reference or driver components are
required for many applications.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Small Footprint. Eight ADCs are contained in a small, space-
saving package; low power of 93.5 mW/channel at 50 MSPS.
2. Ease of Use. A data clock output (DCO) operates up to
300 MHz and supports double data rate operation (DDR).
3. User Flexibility. Serial port interface (SPI) control offers a wide
range of flexible features to meet specific system requirements.
The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for
the appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock (DCO)
for capturing data on the output and a frame clock (FCO) for
signaling a new output byte are provided. Individual channel
power-down is supported and typically consumes less than
2 mW when all channels are disabled.
4. Pin-Compatible Family. This includes the AD9212 (10-bit),
and AD9222 (12-bit).
