Built-in and custom digital test pattern generation

Programmable output resolution
Standby mode
The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the
appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock output (DCO) for
capturing data on the output and a frame clock output (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.
APPLICATIONS
Medical imaging and nondestructive ultrasound
Portable ultrasound and digital beam-forming systems
Quadrature radio receivers
Diversity radio receivers
Tape drives
Optical networking
The ADC contains several features designed to maximize
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).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9259 is available in a RoHS-compliant, 48-lead LFCSP. It is
specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
The AD9259 is a quad, 14-bit, 50 MSPS analog-to-digital con-
verter (ADC) with an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit 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.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Small Footprint. Four ADCs are contained in a small, space-
saving package.
2. Low power of 98 mW/channel at 50 MSPS.
3. Ease of Use. A data clock output (DCO) operates at
frequencies of up to 350 MHz and supports double data
rate (DDR) operation.
4. User Flexibility. The SPI control offers a wide range of flexible
features to meet specific system requirements.
5. Pin-Compatible Family. This includes the AD9287 (8-bit),
AD9219 (10-bit), and AD9228 (12-bit).
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.
