12-Bit, 500MSPS A/D Converter
ISLA112P50
Features
• 1.15GHz Analog Input Bandwidth
• 90fs Clock Jitter
The ISLA112P50 is a low-power, high-performance, 500MSPS
analog-to-digital converter designed with Intersil’s proprietary
FemtoCharge™ technology on a standard CMOS process. The
ISLA112P50 is part of a pin-compatible portfolio of 8, 10 and
12-bit A/Ds. This device an upgrade of the KAD551XP-50
product family and is pin similar.
• Automatic Fine Interleave Correction Calibration
• Multiple Chip Time Alignment Support via the Synchronous
Clock Divider Reset
The device utilizes two time-interleaved 250MSPS unit A/Ds to
achieve the ultimate sample rate of 500MSPS. A single 500MHz
conversion clock is presented to the converter, and all interleave
clocking is managed internally. The proprietary Intersil Interleave
Engine (I2E) performs automatic fine correction of offset, gain,
and sample time skew mismatches between the unit A/Ds to
optimize performance. No external interleaving algorithm is
required.
• Programmable Gain, Offset and Skew Control
• Over-Range Indicator
• Clock Phase Selection
• Nap and Sleep Modes
• Two’s Complement, Gray Code or Binary Data Format
• DDR LVDS-Compatible or LVCMOS Outputs
• Programmable Test Patterns and Internal Temperature Sensor
A serial peripheral interface (SPI) port allows for extensive
configurability of the A/D. The SPI also controls the interleave
correction circuitry, allowing the system to issue continuous
calibration commands as well as configure many dynamic
parameters.
Applications
• Radar and Electronic/Signal Intelligence
• Broadband Communications
• High-Performance Data Acquisition
Digital output data is presented in selectable LVDS or CMOS
formats. The ISLA112P50 is available in a 72 Ld QFN package
with an exposed paddle. Performance is specified over the full
industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
