PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. On-chip dither option for improved SFDR performance
with low power analog input.
2. Proprietary differential input that maintains excellent SNR
performance for input frequencies up to 300 MHz.
3. Operation from a single 1.8 V supply and a separate digital
output driver supply accommodating 1.8 V CMOS or
LVDS outputs.
4. Standard serial port interface (SPI) that supports various
product features and functions, such as data formatting
(offset binary, twos complement, or gray coding), enabling
the clock DCS, power-down, test modes, and voltage
reference mode.
Programmable internal ADC voltage reference
Integrated ADC sample-and-hold inputs
Flexible analog input range: 1 V p-p to 2 V p-p
Differential analog inputs with 650 MHz bandwidth
ADC clock duty cycle stabilizer
Serial port control
User-configurable, built-in self-test (BIST) capability
Energy-saving power-down modes
5. Pin compatibility with the AD9265, allowing a simple
migration up to 16 bits.
