8-Bit, 500MSPS A/D Converter
ISLA118P50
Features
• 1.15GHz Analog Input Bandwidth
• 90fs Clock Jitter
The ISLA118P50 is a low-power, high-performance,
500MSPS analog-to-digital converter designed with
Intersil’s proprietary FemtoCharge® technology on a
standard CMOS process. The ISLA118P50 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
• Programmable Gain, Offset and Skew control
• Over-Range Indicator
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.
• 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 ISLA118P50 is available in a
72-contact QFN package with an exposed paddle.
Performance is specified over the full industrial
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
