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®).
Test equipment
The AD9259 is available in a Pb-free, 48-lead LFCSP package. It is
specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD9259 is a quad, 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.
1. Small Footprint. Four ADCs are contained in a small, space-
saving package; low power of 98 mW/channel at 50 MSPS.
2. Ease of Use. A data clock output (DCO) operates up to
350 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 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.
4. Pin-Compatible Family. This includes the AD9287 (8-bit),
AD9219 (10-bit), and AD9228 (12-bit).
The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the
appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock (DCO) for
