GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 AD9637 is an octal, 12-bit, 40/80 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter (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 80 MSPS and
is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance and low
power in applications where a small package size is critical.
The AD9637 is available in a RoHS-compliant, 64-lead LFCSP. It is
specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
This product is protected by a U.S. patent.
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.
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.
2. Low Power of 60 mW/Channel at 80 MSPS with Scalable
Power Options.
3. Ease of Use. A data clock output (DCO) is provided that
operates at frequencies of up to 480 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 with the AD9257 (14-Bit Octal ADC).
The ADC contains several features designed to maximize
flexibility and minimize system cost, such as programmable
