PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High Performance.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Maintains 65 dBFS SNR at 500 MSPS with a 250 MHz input.
2. Low Power.
Consumes only 660 mW at 500 MSPS.
3. Ease of Use.
The AD9434 is a 12-bit monolithic sampling analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) optimized for high performance, low power,
and ease of use. The part operates at up to a 500 MSPS
conversion rate and is optimized for outstanding dynamic
performance in wideband carrier and broadband systems. All
necessary functions, including a sample-and-hold and voltage
reference, are included on the chip to provide a complete signal
conversion solution. The VREF pin can be used to monitor the
internal reference or provide an external voltage reference
(external reference mode must be enabled through the SPI
port).
LVDS output data and output clock signal allow interface
to FPGA technology. The on-chip reference and sample-
and-hold provide flexibility in system design. Use of a
single 1.8 V supply simplifies system power supply design.
4. Serial Port Control.
Standard serial port interface supports various product
functions, such as data formatting, power-down, gain
adjust, and output test pattern generation.
5. The AD9434 is pin compatible with the AD9230, and can
be substituted in many applications with minimal design
changes.
The ADC requires a 1.8 V analog voltage supply and a differen-
tial clock for full performance operation. The digital outputs are
LVDS (ANSI-644) compatible and support twos complement,
offset binary format, or Gray code. A data clock output is
available for proper output data timing.
