TERMINOLOGY
Analog Bandwidth
Full-Scale Input Power
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the
fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is
reduced by 3 dB.
Expressed in dBm. Computed using the following equation:

The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the Clock
and the instant at which the analog input is sampled.

The difference between the measured and ideal full-scale input
voltage range of the ADC.
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Harmonic Distortion, Second
Crosstalk
Coupling onto one channel being driven by a low level (–40
dBFS) signal when the adjacent interfering channel is driven by
a fullscale signal.
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
second harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Harmonic Distortion, Third
Differential Analog Input Resistance, Differential Analog
Input Capacitance, and Differential Analog Input Impedance
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
third harmonic component, reported in dBc.
The real and complex impedances measured at each analog
input port. The resistance is measured statically and the
capacitance and differential input impedances are measured
with a network analyzer.
Integral Nonlinearity
The deviation of the transfer function from a reference line
measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a “best straight line”
determined by a least square curve fit.
Differential Analog Input Voltage Range
Minimum Conversion Rate
The peak-to-peak differential voltage that must be applied to
the converter to generate a full-scale response. Peak differential
voltage is computed by observing the voltage on a single pin
and subtracting the voltage from the other pin, which is 180°
out of phase. Peak-to-peak differential is computed by rotating
the input’s phase 180° and again taking the peak measurement.
The difference is then computed between both peak
measurements.
The Clock rate at which the SNR of the lowest analog signal
frequency drops by no more than 3 dB below the guaranteed
limit.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The Clock rate at which parametric testing is performed.
Output Propagation Delay
Differential Nonlinearity
The delay between a differential crossing of CLK+ and CLK–
and the time when all output data bits are within valid logic
levels.
The deviation of any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
Calculated from the measured SNR based on the equation
ENOB =
Noise (for Any Range within the ADC)
SNR MEASURED − 1.76dB
6.02
Calculated as follows:
Clock Pulsewidth/Duty Cycle
Pulsewidth high is the minimum amount of time the ENCODE
pulse should be left in Logic 1 state to achieve rated
performance; pulsewidth low is the minimum time the Clock
pulse should be left in low state. At a given clock rate, these
specifications define an acceptable Clock duty cycle.

Power Supply Rejection Ratio
Two-Tone SFDR
The ratio of a change in input offset voltage to a change in
power supply voltage.
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value
of the peak spurious component. The peak spurious component
may or may not be an IMD product. May be reported in dBc
(i.e., degrades as signal level is lowered) or in dBFS (always
related back to converter full scale).
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set 1 dB below full scale)
to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components,
including harmonics but excluding dc.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (without Harmonics)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set at 1 dB below full
scale) to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral
components, excluding the first five harmonics and dc.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
peak spurious spectral component. The peak spurious
component may or may not be a harmonic. May be reported in
dBc (i.e., degrades as signal level is lowered) or dBFS (always
related back to converter full scale).
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion Rejection
Worst Other Spur
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
worst spurious component (excluding the second and third
harmonic) reported in dBc.
Transient Response Time
The time it takes for the ADC to reacquire the analog input
after a transient from 10% above negative full scale to 10%
below positive full scale.
Out-of-Range Recovery Time
The time it takes for the ADC to reacquire the analog input
after a transient from 10% above positive full scale to 10% above
negative full scale, or from 10% below negative full scale to 10%
below positive full scale.
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value

The AD9211 architecture consists of a front-end sample and
hold amplifier (SHA) followed by a pipelined switched capacitor
ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into
a final 10-Bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined
architecture permits the first stage to operate on a new input
sample, while the remaining stages operate on preceding
samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.

The input stage contains a differential SHA that can be ac- or
dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes. The outputstaging block aligns the data, carries out the error correction,
and passes the data to the output buffers. The output buffers are
powered from a separate supply, allowing adjustment of the
output voltage swing. During power-down, the output buffers
go into a high impedance state.
ANALOG INPUT AND VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The analog input to the AD9211 is a differential buffer. For
best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN– should be matched such that common mode
settling errors are symmetrical. The analog input is optimized
to provide superior wideband performance and requires that
the analog inputs be driven differentially. SNR and SINAD
performance degrades significantly if the analog input is driven
with a single-ended signal.

Figure 8. Differential Input Configuration Using the AD8138
At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the
true performance of the AD9211. This is especially true in IF
under-sampling applications where frequencies in the 70 MHz
to 100 MHz range are being sampled. For these applications,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. The signal characteristics must be considered
when selecting a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at
frequencies below a few MHz, and excessive signal power can
also cause core saturation, which leads to distortion.
In any configuration, the value of the shunt capacitor, C, is
dependent on the input frequency and may need to be reduced
or removed.
Differential Input Configurations
Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD9211
in a differential input configuration. For baseband applications,
the AD8138 differential driver provides excellent performance
and a flexible interface to the ADC. The output common-mode
voltage of the AD8138 is easily set to AVDD/2+0.5V, and the
driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to
provide band limiting of the input signal.

A wideband transformer, such as Mini-Circuits’ ADT1-1WT,
can provide the differential analog inputs for applications that
require a single-ended-to-differential conversion. Both analog
inputs are self-biased by an on-chip resistor divider to a
nominal 1.3 V.
An internal differential voltage reference creates positive and
negative reference voltages that define the 1.25Vp-p fixed span
of the ADC core. This internal voltage reference can be
adjusted by means of SPI control. See SPI control section for
more details.

Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched capacitor DAC
and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The residue amplifier
magnifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output
and the flash input for the next stage in the pipeline. One bit of
redundancy is used in each stage to facilitate digital correction
of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a flash ADC.

Single-Ended Input Configuration
A single-ended input can provide adequate performance in
cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, SFDR and
distortion performance degrade due to the large input
common-mode swing. However, if the source impedances
on each input are matched, there should be little effect on
SNR performance. Figure 10 details a typical single-ended
input configuration.

CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, the AD9211 the sample clock inputs
(CLK+ and CLK-) should be clocked with a differential signal.
This signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK- pins
via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally
and require no additional bias (See Figure X).

Figure X shows one preferred method for clocking the AD9211.
The clock source (low jitter) is converted from single-ended to
differential using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky
diodes across the transformer secondary limit clock excursions
into the AD9211 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This
helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding
through to other portions of the AD9211 while preserving the
fast rise and fall times of the signal, which are critical to a low
jitter performance.

jitter performance.

Preliminary Technical Data
Clock Input Considerations
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals, and as a result may be
sensitive to clock duty cycle. Commonly, a 5% tolerance is
required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic
performance
characteristics. The AD9211 contains a DCS (duty cycle
stabilizer) that retimes the non-sampling edge, providing an
internal clock signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows
a wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting the
performance of the AD9211. Noise and distortion performance
are nearly flat for a wide range duty cycles with the DCS on.
The duty cycle stabilizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to
create the non-sampling edge. As a result, any changes to the
sampling frequency require approximately TBD clock cycles to
allow the DLL to acquire and lock to the new rate.
AD9211. Power supplies for clock drivers should be separated
from the ADC output driver supplies to avoid modulating the
clock signal with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal-controlled
oscillators make the best clock sources. If the clock is generated
from another type of source (by gating, dividing, or other
methods), it should be retimed by the original clock at the last
step.
POWER DISSIPATION AND POWER DOWN MODE
As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 14, the power dissipated by
the AD9211 is proportional to its sample rate. The digital power
dissipation does not vary much because it is determined
primarily by the DRVDD supply and bias current of the LVDS
output drivers.
Jitter Considerations
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input
frequency (fINPUT) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be
calculated by
π
SNR = 20 log ⎡⎢ f INPUT × t J ⎤⎥
⎣2
⎦
In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the rootmean square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input,
analog input signal, and ADC aperture jitter specification. IF
under-sampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter,
see Figure 11.

By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9211 is placed in
standby mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates
1 mW even if the CLK and analog inputs are static. During
standby, the output drivers are placed in a high impedance state.
Reasserting the PDWN pin low returns the AD9211 into its
normal operational mode.
An additional stand by mode is supported by means of varying
the clock input. When the clock rate falls below 20MHz, the
AD9211 will assume a standby state. In this case, the biasing
network and internal reference remain on but digital circuitry is
powered down. Upon reactivating the clock, the AD9211 will
resume normal operation after allowing for the pipeline latency.
Out-of-Range (OTR)
An out-of-range condition exists when the analog input voltage
is beyond the input range of the ADC. OTR is a digital output
that is updated along with the data output corresponding to the
particular sampled input voltage. Thus, OTR has the same
pipeline latency as the digital data. OTR is low when the analog
input voltage is within the analog input range and high when
the analog input voltage exceeds the input range as shown in
Figure 15. OTR will remain high until the analog input returns
to within the input range and another conversion is completed.
By logically AND-ing OTR with the MSB and its complement,
over-range high or under-range low conditions can be detected.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD9228’s differential outputs conform to the ANSI-644
LVDS standard on default power up. The LVDS driver current
is derived on-chip and sets the output current at each output
equal to a nominal 3.5 mA. A 100 Ω differential termination
resistor placed at the LVDS receiver inputs results in a nominal
350 mV swing at the receiver.
The AD9211’s LVDS outputs facilitate interfacing with LVDS
receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs that have LVDS capability for superior switching performance in noisy environments. Single point-to-point net topologies are recommended
with a 100 Ω termination resistor placed as close to the receiver
as possible. It is recommended to keep the trace length no
longer than 12 inches and to keep differential output traces
close together and at equal lengths.

TIMING
The AD9211 provides latched data outputs with a pipeline delay
of five clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation

Preliminary Technical Data
The length of the output data lines and loads placed on them
should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9211.
These transients can degrade the converter’s dynamic performance.
The AD9211 also provides data clock output (DCO) intended for
capturing the data in an external register. The data outputs are
valid on the rising edge of DCO.

tolerance, and is used to set the master current reference of the
ADC core.
AD9211 CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
The AD9211 serial port interface allows the user to configure
the converter for specific functions or operations through a
structured register space inside the ADC. This gives the user
added flexibility to customize device operation depending on
the application. Addresses are accessed (programmed or read
back) serially in one-byte words. Each byte may be further
divided down into fields which are documented in the Memory
Map Section below.
There are three pins that define the serial port interface or SPI
to this particular ADC. They are the SPI SCLK / DFS, SPI SDIO
/ DCS, and CSB pins. The SCLK/DFS (serial clock) is used to
synchronize the read and write data presented the ADC.. The
SDIO / DCS (serial data input/output) is a dual purpose pin
that allows data to be sent and read from the internal ADC
memory map registers. The CSB or chip select bar is an active
low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles.
See Table X.
During an instruction phase a 16bit instruction is transmitted.
Data then follows the instruction phase and is determined by
the W0 and W1 bits which is 1 or more bytes of data. All data is
composed of 8bit words. The first bit of each individual byte of
serial data indicates whether this is a read or write command.
This allows the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to change
direction from an input to an output.
Data may be sent in MSB or in LSB first mode. MSB first is
default on power up and may be changed by changing the
configuration register. For more information about this feature
and others see SPI Doc at www.analog.com.

SDIO (Serial Data Input/Output) is a dual purpose pin.

depending on the instruction being sent and the
relative position in the timing frame.
CSB (Chip Select Bar) is active low controls that gates
the read and write cycles.
Master device reset. When asserted, device assumes
default settings.
The falling edge of the CSB in conjunction with the rising edge
of the SCLK determines the start of the framing. An example of

HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table X comprise the physical interface
between the user’s programming device and the serial port of
the AD9211. All serial pins are inputs, which is an open-drain
output and should be tied to an external pull-up or pull-down
resistor (suggested value 10 kΩ).
This interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either
PROMS or PIC mirocontrollers as well. This provides the user
to use an alternate method to program the ADC other than a
SPI controller.
If the user chooses to not use the SPI interface, some pins serve
a dual function and are associated with a specific function when
strapped externally to AVDD or ground during device power
on. The section below describes the strappable functions
supported on the AD9211. AD9211
CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI

SPI SCLK / DFS
All locations marked as “open” are currently not supported for
this particular device. When required, these locations should be
written with 0s. Writing to these locations is required only when
part of an address location is open (for example, Address 0x14).
If the whole address location is open (for example, Address
0x13), then this address location does not need to be written.

Starting from the right hand column, the memory map register
in Table X documents the default hex value for each hex address
shown. The column with the heading Byte 7 (MSB) is the start
of the default hex value giving. For example, hex address 0x14,
flex_output_phase has a hex default value of 00h. This means
Bit 3 = 0, Bit 2 = 0, Bit 1 = 1, and Bit 0 = 1 or 0011 in binary.
This setting is the default output clock or DCO phase adjust
option. The default value adjusts the DCO phase 90deg relative
to the Nominal DCO edge and 180deg relative to the data edge.
For more information on this function and others consult the
SPI Doc at www.analog.com.
OPEN LOCATIONS
In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers,
the SPI SDIO / DCS and SPI SCLK / DFS pins can alternately
serve as stand alone CMOS compatible control pins When the
device is powered up, it is assumed that the user intends to use
the pins as static control lines for the duty cycle stabilizer. In
this mode the SPI CSB chip select should be connected to
AVDD, which will disable the serial port interface.

with “bit is set to Logic 1” or “writing Logic 1 for the bit.”
Similarly “clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0”
