Dual 14-Bit, 250/200/125 MSPS JESD204B High Speed Serial Output ADC
The ISLA224S is a series of low-power, high-performance,
Features
dual-channel 14-bit, analog-to-digital converters. Designed
• JESD204A/B High Speed Data Interface
with FemtoCharge™ technology on a standard CMOS process,
the series supports sampling rates of up to 250MSPS. The
ISLA224S is part of a pin-compatible family of 12- and 14-bit
dual-channel A/Ds with maximum sample rates ranging from
125MSPS to 250MSPS and shares the same analog core as
Intersil's proven ISLA224P series of ADCs. The family
minimizes power consumption while providing state-of-the art
dynamic performance, offering an optimal performance-vs-
power trade-off.
- JESD204A Compliant
- JESD204B Device Subclass 0 Compliant
- JESD204B Device Subclass 2 Compatible
- Up to 3 JESD204 Output Lanes Running up to 4.375Gbps
- Highly Configurable JESD204 Transmitter
• Multiple Chip Time Alignment and Deterministic Latency
Support (JESD204B Device Subclass 2)
• SPI Programmable Debugging Features and Test Patterns
• 48-pin QFN 7mmx7mm Package
Differentiating the ISLA224S from the ISLA224P is its highly
configurable, JESD204B-compliant, high speed serial output
link. The link offers data rates up to 4.375Gbps per lane and
multiple packing modes. It can be configured to use two or
three lanes to transmit the conversion data, allowing for
flexibility in the receiver design. The SERDES transmitter also
provides deterministic latency and multi-chip time alignment
support to satisfy an application's complex synchronization
requirements.
Key Specifications
• SNR @ 250/200/125MSPS
73.2/74.1/75.1 dBFS f = 30MHz
IN
72.4/72.9/73.2 dBFS f = 190MHz

• SFDR @ 250/200/125MSPS
A serial peripheral interface (SPI) port allows for extensive
configurability of the JESD204B transmitter including access
to its built-in link and transport-layer test patterns. The SPI port
also provides control for numerous additional features
including the fine gain and offset adjustments of the two ADC
cores as well as the programmable clock divider, enabling 2x
and 4x harmonic clocking.
