The AD9656 is available in an RoHS compliant, nonmagnetic,
56-lead LFCSP. It is specified over the −40°C to +85°C
industrial temperature range.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9656 is a quad, 16-bit, 125 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 device operates at a conversion rate of up to 125 MSPS and
is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance and low
power in applications where a small package size is critical.
The ADC requires a single 1.8 V power supply and LVPECL-/
CMOS-/LVDS-compatible sample rate clock for full performance
operation. An external reference or driver components are not
required for many applications.
Individual channel power-down is supported and typically
consumes less than 14 mW when all channels are disabled. The
ADC contains several features designed to maximize flexibility
and minimize system cost, such as a programmable output clock,
data alignment, and 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).

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. It has a small footprint. Four ADCs are contained in a small,
8 mm × 8 mm package.
2. An on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) allows users to provide
a single ADC sampling clock; the PLL multiplies the ADC
sampling clock to produce the corresponding JESD204B
data rate clock.
3. The configurable JESD204B output block supports up to
8.0 Gbps per lane.
4. JESD204B output block supports one, two, and four lane
configurations.
5. Low power of 198 mW per channel at 125 MSPS, two lanes.
6. The SPI control offers a wide range of flexible features to
meet specific system requirements.

AD9656
THEORY OF OPERATION
or ferrite beads is required when driving the converter front end at
high IF frequencies.
The AD9656 is a multistage, pipelined ADC. Each stage
provides sufficient overlap to correct for flash errors in the
preceding stage. The quantized outputs from each stage are
combined into a final 16-bit result in the digital correction
logic. The serializer transmits this converted data in a 16-bit
output. The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to
operate with a new input sample while the remaining stages
operate with the preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the
rising edge of the clock.
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched-capacitor DAC
and an interstage residue amplifier (for example, a multiplying
digital-to-analog converter [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.
The output staging block aligns the data, corrects errors, and
passes the data to the output buffers. The data is then serialized
and aligned to the frame and data clocks.
Either a differential capacitor or two single-ended capacitors can
be placed on the inputs to provide a matching passive network.
This ultimately creates a low-pass filter at the input to limit
unwanted broadband noise. See the AN-742 Application Note, the
AN-827 Application Note, and the Analog Dialogue article
“Transformer-Coupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters”
for more information. In general, the precise values depend on
the application.
Input Common-Mode Voltage
The analog inputs of the AD9656 are not internally dc-biased.
Therefore, in ac-coupled applications, the user must provide
this bias externally. Setting the device so that VCM = AVDD/2 is
recommended for optimum performance, but the device can
function over a wider VCM range with reasonable performance,
as shown in Figure 47 and Figure 48.

SFDR (dBc)

The analog input to the AD9656 is a differential switchedcapacitor circuit designed for processing differential input
signals. This circuit can support a wide common-mode range
while maintaining excellent performance. By using an input
common-mode voltage of midsupply, users can minimize
signal-dependent errors and achieve optimum performance.

Figure 46. Switched-Capacitor Input Circuit
The clock signal alternately switches the input circuit between
sample mode and hold mode (see Figure 46). When the input
circuit is switched to sample mode, the signal source must be
capable of charging the sample capacitors and settling within
one-half of a clock cycle. A small resistor in series with each input
can help reduce the peak transient current injected from the
output stage of the driving source. In addition, low Q inductors or
ferrite beads can be placed on each leg of the input to reduce high
differential capacitance at the analog inputs and therefore achieve
the maximum bandwidth of the ADC. Such use of low Q inductors

Data Sheet
An on-chip, common-mode voltage reference is included in the
design and is available from the VCM pin. Bypass the VCM pin
to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor, as described in the
Applications Information section.
For applications where SNR is a key parameter, differential
transformer coupling is the recommended input configuration
(see Figure 50) because the noise performance of most amplifiers
is not adequate to achieve the true performance of the AD9656.
Maximum SNR performance is achieved by setting the ADC to
the largest span in a differential configuration. In the case of the
AD9656, the input span is dependent on the reference voltage
(see Table 11).
Regardless of the configuration, the value of the shunt capacitor, C,
is dependent on the input frequency and may need to be reduced
or removed.
It is not recommended to drive the AD9656 inputs single-ended.
Differential Input Configurations
There are several ways to drive the AD9656 either actively or
passively. However, optimum performance is achieved by
driving the analog inputs differentially. Using a differential
double balun configuration to drive the AD9656 provides excellent
performance and a flexible interface to the ADC for baseband
applications (see Figure 49).

A stable and accurate voltage reference is built into the AD9656.
VREF can be configured using the internal 1.0 V reference, using
an externally applied 1.0 V to 1.4 V reference voltage, or using
an external resistor divider applied to the internal reference to
produce a user-selectable reference voltage. The reference modes
are described in the Internal Reference Connection section and the
External Reference Operation section. Externally bypass the
VREF pin to ground with a low equivalent series resistance

A comparator within the AD9656 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference for one of three possible
modes, which are summarized in Table 11. If SENSE is grounded,
the reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal resistor
divider (see Figure 51), setting the voltage at the VREF pin, VREF, to
1.0 V. If SENSE is connected to an external resistor divider (see
Figure 52), VREF is defined as

If the internal reference of the AD9656 drives multiple converters
to improve gain matching, the loading of the reference by the other

how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading.

Clock Input Options
The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance
the gain accuracy of the ADC or to improve thermal drift
characteristics. Figure 55 and Figure 56 show the typical drift
characteristics of the internal reference in 1.0 V mode and
1.4 V mode, respectively.
The AD9656 has a flexible clock input structure. The clock input
can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or sine wave signal. Regardless of
the type of signal used, clock source jitter is of the most
concern, as described in the Jitter Considerations section.

The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock frequencies
between 125 MHz and 1 GHz, and the RF transformer
configuration is recommended for clock frequencies from 40 MHz
to 200 MHz. The Schottky diodes, across the transformer/balun
secondary winding, limit clock excursions into the AD9656 to
approximately 0.8 V p-p differential (see Figure 57 and Figure 58).

Figure 57 and Figure 58 show two preferred methods for clocking
the AD9656 (at clock rates up to 1 GHz prior to internal clock
divider). A low jitter clock source is converted from a single-ended
signal to a differential signal using either a radio frequency (RF)
transformer or an RF balun.
INTERNAL VREF = 1.4V
This limit helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from
feeding through to other portions of the AD9656 while preserving
the fast rise and fall times of the signal that are critical to achieving
low jitter performance. However, the diode capacitance has an
effect on frequencies above 500 MHz. Take care in choosing the
appropriate signal limiting diode.

When the SENSE pin is tied to AVDD, the internal reference is
disabled, allowing the use of an external reference. An internal
reference buffer loads the external reference with an equivalent
7.5 kΩ load. The internal buffer generates the positive and
negative full-scale references for the ADC core.
It is not recommended to leave the SENSE pin floating.
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, clock the AD9656 sample clock inputs,
CLK+ and CLK−, with a differential signal. The signal is typically
ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a transformer or
capacitors. These pins are biased internally and require no
external bias.

In this equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root sum

High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of the
clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input frequency
(fA) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be calculated by
Figure 61. Single-Ended 1.8 V CMOS Input Clock (Up to 200 MHz)
Input Clock Divider
The AD9656 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by integer values from 1 to 8.
The AD9656 clock divider can be synchronized using the
external SYNC input. Bit 0 and Bit 1 of Register 0x109 allow the
clock divider to resynchronize on every SYNC signal or only on
the first SYNC signal after the register is written. A valid SYNC
causes the clock divider to reset to the initial state. This synchronization feature allows multiple devices to have the clock
dividers aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling.
Alternatively, SYSREF± can reset the clock divider by setting
Register 0x109 Bit[7]. In this case SYNC is disabled.
Treat the clock input as an analog signal in cases where aperture
jitter can affect the dynamic range of the AD9656. Separate power
supplies for clock drivers from the supplies for the ADC output
driver 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), retime it by the original
clock at the last step.

performance as it relates to ADCs.

Clock Duty Cycle

Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a variety
of internal timing signals and, as a result, can be sensitive to the
clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance is required on the
clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics.
The AD9656 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that retimes
the nonsampling (falling) edge, providing an internal clock
signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This feature minimizes
performance degradation in cases where the clock input duty
cycle deviates more than the specified ±5% from the nominal 50%
duty cycle. Enabling the DCS function can significantly improve
noise and distortion performance for clock input duty cycles
ranging from 30% to 45% and from 55% to 70%.

Jitter in the rising edge of the input is still of concern and is not
easily reduced by the internal stabilization circuit. The loop has
a time constant associated with it that must be considered in
applications in which the clock rate can change dynamically. A
wait time of 1.5 µs to 5 µs is required after a dynamic clock
frequency increase or decrease before the DCS loop is relocked
to the input signal.

POWER DISSIPATION AND POWER-DOWN MODE
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
As shown in Figure 63 and Figure 64, the power dissipated by
the AD9656 is proportional to the sample rate.
JESD204B Transmit Top Level Description
The AD9656 is placed in power-down mode either by the SPI
port or by asserting the PDWN pin high. In power-down mode,
the ADC typically dissipates 14 mW. During power-down, the
output drivers are placed in a high impedance state. When the
PDWN pin is asserted low, the AD9656 returns to normal operating
mode. Note that PDWN is referenced to SVDD and must not
exceed that supply voltage.
Low power dissipation in power-down mode is achieved by
shutting down the reference, reference buffer, biasing networks,
and clock. Internal capacitors are discharged when entering
power-down mode and must then be recharged when returning
to normal operation. As a result, wake-up time is related to the
time spent in power-down mode; shorter power-down cycles
result in proportionally shorter wake-up times. When using the
SPI port interface, the user can place the ADC in power-down
mode or standby mode. Standby mode allows the user to keep
the internal reference circuitry powered when faster wake-up
times are required. See the Memory Map section for more
information about using these features.

The AD9656 JESD204B transmit block maps the output of the
four ADCs over a link. A link can be configured to use either
single, dual, or four serial differential outputs, which are called
lanes. The JESD204B specification refers to a number of parameters
to define the link, and these parameters must match between the
JESD204B transmitter (AD9656 output) and receiver.

The JESD204B data transmit block, JTX, assembles the parallel
data from the ADC into frames and uses 8b/10b encoding, as well
as optional scrambling, to form serial output data. Lane
synchronization is supported using special characters during the
initial establishment of the link, and additional synchronization is
embedded in the data stream thereafter. A matching external
receiver is required to lock onto the serial data stream and recover
the data and clock. For additional information about the

JESD204B Configurations
Figure 68 shows a simplified conceptual block diagram of the
AD9656 JESD204B link. By default, the AD9656 is configured
to use four converters and one lane. The AD9656 allows for other
configurations such as combining the outputs of two of the four
converters onto a single lane resulting in the data from the four
converters being output on two lanes. The mapping of the 0, 1,
2, and 3 digital output paths can be changed. These modes are
set up through a quick configuration register in the SPI register
map, along with additional customizable options.
By default in the AD9656, the 16-bit word from each converter
is divided into two octets (8 bits of data each). Bit 0 (MSB)
through Bit 7 are in the first octet and Bit 8 through Bit 15 (LSB)
are the second octet.
The two resulting octets can be scrambled. Scrambling is
optional; however, it is available to avoid spectral peaks when
transmitting similar digital data patterns. The scrambler uses a
self synchronizing, polynomial-based algorithm defined by the
equation 1 + x14 + x15. The descrambler in the receiver must be a
self synchronizing version of the scrambler polynomial.
The two octets are then encoded with an 8b/10b encoder. The
8b/10b encoder works by taking eight bits of data (an octet) and
encoding them into a 10-bit symbol. Figure 69 shows how the
16-bit data is output from the ADC, the two octets are scrambled,
and how the octets are encoded into two 10-bit symbols. Figure 69
illustrates the default data format.
At the data link layer, in addition to the 8b/10b encoding,
character replacement allows the receiver to monitor frame
alignment. The character replacement process occurs on the frame
and multiframe boundaries, and implementation depends on
which boundary is occurring and if scrambling is enabled.
POWER ON
If scrambling is disabled, the following applies. If the last scrambled
octet of the last frame of the multiframe equals the last octet of
the previous frame, the transmitter replaces the last octet with
the control character /A/ = /K28.3/. On other frames within the
multiframe, if the last octet in the frame equals the last octet of
the previous frame, the transmitter replaces the last octet with
the control character /F/= /K28.7/.
If scrambling is enabled, the following applies. If the last octet of
the last frame of the multiframe equals 0x7C, the transmitter
replaces the last octet with the control character /A/ = /K28.3/.
On other frames within the multiframe, if the last octet equals
0xFC, the transmitter replaces the last octet with the control
character /F/ = /K28.7/.
Refer to JEDEC Standard No. JESD204B (July 2011) for additional
information about the JESD204B interface. Section 5.1 covers
the transport layer and data format details, and Section 5.2 covers
scrambling and descrambling.
Initial JESD204B Link Startup
The power-on default JESD204B state of the AD9656 is M4L1.
Once the ADC is configured and the appropriate clocks are
provided, any JESD204B parameters different from the default
configuration must be set prior to enabling the link. Figure 65
depicts the start-up and synchronization timing of the AD9656
JESD204B Tx in subclass 1 mode. It is recommended that the
SYNCINB signal (defined as SYNC~, according to the JESD204B
standard) is asserted at power-up and must not be deasserted
until after SYSREF has been applied according to the timing
illustrated in the figure. Once the PLL has settled the serial outputs
on each lane, begin to toggle between 1’s and 0’s. Shortly thereafter
(13 frame clock cycles), K28.5 characters are sent across the link
on each lane and the local multiframe clock (LMFC) is generated.
At this time SYSREF can be applied.

Resynchronization
Figure 66 depicts the resynchronization timing for the AD9656
JESD204B interface. When the subclass 1 receiving logic device
is ready to resynchronize, it asserts the SYNCINB signal and
issues a SYSREF request. Note that once SYSREF is applied, the
JESD204B internal clocks are reset and take up to 2 LMFC
periods to fully settle.
Once the new phase of LMFC is stable, SYNCINB must remain
asserted for at least four LMFC cycles for the AD9656 to respond
by sending the K28.5 characters. This commences the CGS portion
of subclass 1 synchronization. Once the Tx deasserts the SYNCINB
signal, the ILAS starts on the second LMFC boundary.

JESD204B Synchronization Details
ILAS Phase
The AD9656 is a JESD204B Subclass 1 device and establishes
synchronization of the link through two control signals (SYSREF
and SYNCINB). At the system level, multiple converter devices are
aligned using a common SYSREF signal and device clock (CLK).
The ILAS phase begins on the second LMFC boundary after
SYNCINB is deasserted; and the ILAS phase contents are as
illustrated in Figure 67. The transmitter sends out the ILAS
according to the JESD204B standard, and the receiver aligns
all lanes of the link and verifies the parameters of the link.
The synchronization process is accomplished over three phases:
code group synchronization (CGS), initial lane alignment sequence
(ILAS), and data transmission. If scrambling is enabled, the bits are
not scrambled until the data transmission phase. The CGS phase
and ILAS phase do not use scrambling.
The ILAS phase lasts for four multiframes and includes the
following:
•
CGS Phase
Multiframe 1: Begins with an /R/ character [K28.0] and
ends with an /A/ character [K28.3].
Multiframe 2: Begins with an /R/ character followed by a
/Q/ [K28.4] character, followed by link configuration
parameters over 14 configuration octets (see Table 12),
and ends with an /A/ character.
Multiframe 3: same as Multiframe 1.
Multiframe 4: same as Multiframe 1.
•
The assertion of the SYNCINB signal by the JESD204B Rx for
more than 5 frames and 9 octets informs the JESD204B Tx to
synchronize. To have the AD9656 to respond by initiating the
CGS phase, the SYNCINB signal must be asserted for at least 4
LMFC cycles if no SYSREF realignment is required. As illustrated
in Figure 66, if SYSREF realignment is needed, the SYNCINB
signal must be asserted for at least 6 LMFC cycles. In the CGS
phase, the JESD204B transmit block transmits /K28.5/ characters.
The receiver (external logic device) must find K28.5 characters
in the input data stream using clock and data recovery (CDR)
techniques.
•
•
During the transmission of the ILAS, all data that is not a K28
control character or a configuration parameter is a repeating ramp
pattern from 0 to 255. In the default state (M = 4, L = 1, K = 32),
there are 256 octets per multiframe, which allows the ramp to
complete within Multiframe 1, 3, and 4. For configurations with
less than 256 octets per multiframe, the ramp continues to rise into
the next multiframe. Multiframe 2 has 14 configuration octets
following a /Q/ character that is transmitted instead of ramp
values. The ramp continues to advance internally while the 14
configuration octets are transmitted and ramp values appear
again after the 14 configuration octets end.
When a certain number of consecutive K28.5 characters are
detected on the link lanes, the receiver initiates a SYSREF edge
so that the AD9656 transmit data establishes a LMFC internally.
The SYSREF edge also resets any sampling edges within the
ADC to align sampling instances to the LMFC. This is important
to maintain synchronization across multiple devices.
The receiver or logic device deasserts the SYNCINB signal applied
to the SYNCINB± pin according to the previously stated timing
requirements.

Data Transmission Phase
In the data transmission phase, frame alignment is monitored
with control characters. Character replacement is used at the
end of frames. Character replacement in the transmitter occurs
in the following instances:
• If scrambling is disabled and the last octet of the frame or
multiframe equals the octet value of the previous frame.
• If scrambling is enabled and the last octet of the
multiframe is equal to 0x7C, or the last octet of a frame is
equal to 0xFC.
•
The following demonstrates how to configure the AD9656
JESD204B interface. The steps to configure the output include
the following:
Disable the lanes before changing configuration.
Select one quick configuration option.
Configure the detailed options.
Check FCHK, checksum of JESD204B interface parameters.
Set additional digital output configuration options.
Reenable the lane(s).
•
•
Select Quick Configuration Option
Write to Register 0x5E, the JESD204B quick configuration
register to select the configuration options. See Table 15 for the
configuration options and resulting JESD204B parameter values.
• 0x41 = four converters, one lane
• 0x42 = four converters, two lanes
• 0x44 = four converters, four lanes
• 0x21 = two converters, one lane
• 0x22 = two converters, two lanes
• 0x11 = one converter, one lane
Per the JESD204B specification, a multiframe is defined as a
group of K successive frames, where K is from 1 to 32, and
requires that the number of octets be from 17 to 1024. The
K value is set to 32 by default in Register 0x70, Bits[4:0].
Note that the K value is the register value plus 1.
The K value can be changed; however, it must comply with
a few conditions. The AD9656 uses a fixed value for octets
per frame (F) based on the JESD204B quick configuration
setting. K must also be a multiple of 4 and conform to the
following equation:
32 ≥ K ≥ Ceil (17/F)
•
Disable Lanes Before Changing Configuration
Before modifying the JESD204B link parameters, disable the link
and hold it in reset. This is accomplished by writing Logic 1 to
Register 0x5F, Bit 0.
JESD204B allows parameters to identify the device and
lane. These parameters are transmitted during the ILAS phase,
and they are accessible in the internal registers.
The three identification values are device identification
(DID), bank identification (BID), and lane identification
(LID). DID and BID are device specific; therefore, they can
be used for link identification.
Set the number of frames per multiframe, K.

With N’ = 16 and N = 14 (nondefault configuration), two
bits are available per sample for transmitting additional
information over the JESD204B link. The options are tail
bits or control bits. By default, tail bits of 0b00 value are used.
Tail bits are dummy bits sent over the link to complete the
two octets and do not convey any information about the input
signal. Tail bits can be fixed zeros (default) or pseudorandom numbers (Register 0x5F, Bit 6).
One or two control bits can be selected to replace the tail
bits using Register 0x72, Bits[7:6]. The meaning of the
control bits can be set using Register 0x14, Bits[7:5].
The JESD204B specification also specifies that the number
of octets per multiframe (K × F) be from 17 to 1024. The F
value is fixed through the quick configuration setting to
ensure that this relationship is true.

AD9656
Most of the synchronization features of the JESD204B interface
are enabled by default for typical applications. In some cases,
these features can be disabled or modified as follows:
•
ILAS enabling is controlled in Register 0x5F, Bits[3:2] and
is enabled by default. Optionally, to support some unique
instances of the interfaces (such as NMCDA-SL), the
JESD204B interface can be programmed to either disable the
ILAS sequence or continually repeat the ILAS sequence.
The AD9656 has fixed values for some JESD204B interface
parameters, and they are as follows:
•
•
[N’] = 16: number of bits per sample is 16, in Register 0x73,
Bits[4:0]
[CF] = 0: number of control words/frame clock
cycle/converter is 0, in Register 0x75, Bits[4:0]
Verify read only values: lanes per link (L), octets per frame (F),
number of converters (M), and samples per converter per frame
(S). The AD9656 calculates values for some JESD204B parameters
based on other settings, particularly the quick configuration
register selection. The following read only values are available in
the register map for verification:
•
•
•
•
•
[L] = lanes per link can be 1, 2 or 4; read the values from
Register 0x6E, Bits [4:0]
[F] = octets per frame can be 2, 4, or 8; read the value from
Register 0x6F, Bits[7:0]
[HD] = high density mode is 0; read the value from
Register 0x75, Bit 7
[M] = number of converters per link; default is 4, but can
be 1, 2, or 4. Read the value from Register 0x71, Bits[7:0]
[S] = samples per converter per frame is 1; read the value
from Register 0x74, Bits[4:0]
The FCHK for the lane configuration for data exiting Lane 0
can be read from Register 0x78. Similarly, the FCHK for the lane
configuration for data exiting Lane 1 can be read from Register
0x79, FCHK for Lane 2 can be read from Register 0x7A, and
FCHK for Lane 3 can be read from Register 0x7B.

Check FCHK, Checksum of JESD204B Interface Parameters
Reenable Lanes After Configuration
The JESD204B parameters can be verified through the checksum
value [FCHK] of the JESD204B interface parameters. Each lane has
a FCHK value associated with it. The FCHK value is transmitted
during the ILAS second multiframe and can be read from the
internal registers.
After modifying the JESD204B link parameters, enable the link so
that the synchronization process can begin. This is accomplished
by writing Logic 0 to Register 0x5F, Bit 0.
The checksum value is the modulo 256 sum of the parameters
listed in the No. column of Table 14. The checksum is calculated
by adding the parameter fields before they are packed into the
octets shown in Table 14.

Data Sheet
AD9656
Frame alignment monitoring and correction is part of the JESD204B
specification. The 16-bit word requires two octets to transmit all
the data. The two octets (MSB and LSB), where F = 2, make up
a frame. During normal operating conditions, frame alignment
is monitored via alignment characters, which are inserted under
certain conditions at the end of a frame. Table 16 summarizes the
conditions for character insertion, along with the expected characters
under the various operation modes. If lane synchronization is
enabled, the replacement character value depends on whether
the octet is at the end of a frame or at the end of a multiframe.
Based on the operating mode, the receiver can ensure that it is
still synchronized to the frame boundary by correctly receiving
the replacement characters.
Digital Outputs and Timing
The AD9656 has differential digital outputs that power up by
default. The driver current is derived on chip and sets the output
current at each output equal to a nominal 3 mA. Each output
presents a 100 Ω dynamic internal termination to reduce
unwanted reflections.
The AD9656 digital outputs can interface with custom ASICs and
FPGA receivers, providing superior switching performance in
noisy environments. Single point to point network topologies are
recommended with a single differential 100 Ω termination resistor
placed as close to the receiver logic as possible.
For receiver inputs that are self biased, or with input common
mode requirements not within the bounds of the AD9656
DRVDD supply, use an ac-coupled connection as shown in
Figure 71. Place a 0.1 μF series capacitor on each output pin and
use a 100 Ω differential termination close to the receiver side. The
100 Ω differential termination results in a nominal 600 mV p-p
differential swing at the receiver. In the case where the receiver
inputs are not self biased, single-ended 50 Ω terminations can be
used. When single-ended terminations are used, the termination
voltage (VRXCM) must be chosen to match the input requirements
of the receiver.

If there is no far-end receiver termination, or if there is poor
differential trace routing, timing errors can result. To avoid such
timing errors, it is recommended that the trace length be less than
six inches and the differential output traces be close together and of
equal lengths.
Figure 73 shows an example of the digital output data eye and
time interval error (TIE) jitter histogram and bathtub curve for
an AD9656 lane running at 6.4 Gbps.
The maximum allowable data rate per lane is 8 Gbps. In some
configurations, the AD9656 maximum conversion rate is limited
by the maximum allowable data rate. The output data rate per
lane is calculated as follows:
Data Rate  ( M  N  (10 / 8)  Sample Rate ) / L
where M (number of converters), N (resolution), and
L (Number of lanes) are defined in the JESD204B Overview
section. For example, with M = 4, N = 16, and L = 1; the sample
rate is limited to 100 Msps.
Additional SPI options allow the user to further increase the
output driver voltage swing of all four outputs to drive longer
trace lengths (see Register 0x15 in Table 19). The power
dissipation of the DRVDD supply increases when this option is
used. See the Memory Map section for more information.

SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
The AD9656 SPI allows the user to configure the converter for
specific functions or operations through a structured register
space provided inside the ADC. The SPI gives the user added
flexibility and customization, depending on the application.
Addresses are accessed via the serial port and can be written to
or read from via the port. Memory is organized into bytes that can
be further divided into fields. These fields are documented in the
Memory Map section. For general operational information, see
the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
Three pins define the SPI of this ADC: the SCLK pin, the SDIO
pin, and the CSB pin (see Table 17). The SCLK pin synchronizes
the read and write data presented from/to the ADC. The SDIO pin
is a dual purpose pin that allows data to be sent and read from
the internal ADC memory map registers. The CSB pin is an active
low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles.

Function
Serial Clock. The serial shift clock input, which
synchronizes serial interface reads and writes.
Serial Data Input/Output. A dual purpose pin that
typically serves as an input or an output, depending on
the instruction being sent and the relative position in the
timing frame.
Chip Select Bar. An active low control that gates the read
and write cycles.
The falling edge of CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge of
SCLK, determines the start of the framing. An example and
definition of the serial timing can be found in Figure 74 and
Table 7.
Other modes involving the CSB pin are available. The CSB pin
can be held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the
device; this is called streaming. The CSB pin can stall high
between bytes to allow for additional external timing. When
CSB is tied high, SPI functions are placed in a high impedance
mode. This mode turns on any SPI pin secondary functions.
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
Data follows the instruction phase and the length is determined
by the W0 and W1 bits.
All data is composed of 8-bit words. The first bit of each individual
byte of serial data indicates whether a read or write command is
issued. This allows the SDIO pin to change direction from an
input to an output.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines
whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing
the serial port to be used both to program the chip and to read
the contents of the on-chip memory.
If the instruction is a readback operation, performing a readback
causes the SDIO pin to change direction from an input to an
output at the appropriate point in the serial frame.
Input data is registered on the rising edge of SCLK and output data
is transmitted on the falling edge. After the address information
passes to the converter that is requesting a read, the SDIO line
transitions from an input to an output within one-half of a clock
cycle. This timing ensures that when the falling edge of the next
clock cycle occurs, data can be safely placed on this serial line
for the controller to read.
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or in LSB first mode. MSB
first is the default on power-up and can be changed via the SPI
port configuration register. For more information about this
and other features, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing
to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 17 make up the physical interface
between the user programming device and the serial port of the
AD9656. The SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as inputs when
using the SPI interface. The SDIO pin is bidirectional, functioning
as an input during write phases and as an output during readback.
The AD9656 has a separate supply pin for the SPI interface,
SVDD. The SVDD pin can be set to any level between 1.8 V
and 3.3 V to enable operation with a SPI bus at these voltages
without requiring level translation. If the SPI port is not used,
SVDD can be tied to the DRVDD voltage.
The SPI interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either
FPGAs or microcontrollers. One method for SPI configuration
is described in detail in the AN-812 Application Note,
Microcontroller-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI) Boot Circuit.
When the full dynamic performance of the converter is required,
do not activate the SPI port. Because the SCLK signal, the CSB
signal, and the SDIO signal are typically asynchronous to the
ADC clock, noise from these signals can degrade converter
performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for other devices, it
may be necessary to provide buffers between this bus and the
AD9656 to prevent these signals from transitioning at the
converter inputs during critical sampling periods.
SPI ACCESSIBLE FEATURES
Table 18 provides a brief description of the features that are
accessible via the SPI. These features are described in general in
the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI. The AD9656 device-specific features are described in
the Memory Map Register Descriptions section. Information in
the AD9656 data sheet takes precedence over information in
AN-877 Application Note, where it relates to the AD9656.

MEMORY MAP
READING THE MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE
Default Values
Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit locations.
The memory map is roughly divided into three sections: the chip
configuration registers (Address 0x00 to Address 0x02); the
channel index and transfer registers (Address 0x05 and
Address 0xFF); and the ADC functions registers, including setup,
control, and test (Address 0x08 to Address 0x10A).
After the AD9656 is reset, critical registers are loaded with
default values. The default values for the registers are given in
the memory map register table (see Table 19).
The memory map register table (see Table 19) documents the
default hexadecimal value for each hexadecimal address shown.
The column with the heading Bit 7 (MSB) is the start of the
default hexadecimal value given. For example, Address 0x14,
the output mode register, has a hexadecimal default value of
0x01. This means that Bit 0 = 1 and the remaining bits are 0s.
This setting is the default output format value, which is twos
complement. For general information on this function and
others, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High
Speed ADCs via SPI. See Table 19 for SPI register information
specific to the AD9656.
Open and Reserved Locations
All address and bit locations that are not included in Table 19
are not supported for this device. Write 0s to unused bits of a
valid address location. Writing to these locations is required
only when part of an address location is open (for example,
Address 0x18). If the entire address location is open (for example,
Address 0x13), do not write to this address location.
Logic Levels
An explanation of logic level terminology follows:
•
•
“Bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or
“writing Logic 1 for the bit.”
“Clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or
“writing Logic 0 for the bit.”
Channel Specific Registers
Some channel setup functions can be programmed to a different
value for each channel. In these cases, channel address locations
are internally duplicated for each channel. These registers and bits
are designated in Table 19 as local. These local registers and bits
can be accessed by setting the appropriate Channel 0, Channel 1,
Channel 2, or Channel 3 bit in Register 0x05. If four bits are set,
the subsequent write affects the registers of all four channels. In a
read cycle, set only one of the channels to read one of the four
registers. If all bits are set during an SPI read cycle, the device
returns the value for Channel 0. Registers and bits designated as
global in Table 19 affect the entire device and the channel features
for which independent settings are not allowed between channels.
The settings in Register 0x05 do not affect the global registers
and bits.

MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE
The AD9656 uses a 3-wire interface and 16-bit addressing. Bit 0 and Bit 7 in Register 0x00 are set to 0, and Bit 3 and Bit 4 are set to 1.
When Bit 5 in Register 0x00 is set high, the SPI enters a soft reset, where all of the user registers revert to each default value and Bit 2 is
automatically cleared.

Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
Device Index (Register 0x05)
Certain features in the map that are designated as local can be set
independently for each channel, whereas other features apply
globally to all channels (depending on context), regardless of
the channel is selected. Bits[3:0] of Register 0x05 can select
which data channels are affected.
Transfer (Register 0xFF)
All registers except Register 0x100 are updated the moment
they are written. Setting Bit 0 of the transfer register high
invokes the settings in the resolution/sample rate override
register (Address 0x100).

Note that the SPI is always left under control of the user; that is,
it is never automatically disabled or in reset (except by poweron reset). When the digital reset is deactivated, a foreground
calibration sequence is initiated.
Enhancement Control (Register 0x0C)
Bit 2—Chop Mode
For applications that are sensitive to offset voltages and other
low frequency noise, such as homodyne or direct conversion
receivers, chopping in the first stage of the AD9656 is a feature
that can be enabled by setting Bit 2. In the frequency domain,
chopping translates offsets and other low frequency noise to
fCLK/2 where it can be filtered.
Output Mode (Register 0x14)
Bits[7:5]—JTX CS Mode
Defines the meaning of the JTX control bits.
Power Modes (Register 0x08)
Bit 5—PDWN Pin Function
Bits[1:0]—Output Format
By default, this field is set to 1 for data output in twos
complement format. Setting this field to 0 changes the output
mode to offset binary.
If set to 1, the PDWN pin initiates standby mode. If set to 0
(cleared), the PDWN pin initiates full power-down mode.
Bit 4—JTX Standby Mode
If set, the JTX block enters standby mode when chip standby is
activated. Only the PLL is left running in standby mode. If
cleared, the JTX block remains running when chip standby is
activated.
Bits[1:0]—Power Mode
In normal operation (Bits[1:0] = 00), all ADC channels and the
JTX block are active.
Clock Phase Control (Register 0x16)
Bits[6:4]—Input Clock Phase Adjust
When the clock divider (Register 0x0B) is used, the applied
clock is at a higher frequency than the internal sampling clock.
Bits[6:4] determine at which phase the external clock sampling
occurs. This is only applicable when the clock divider is used.
Setting Bits[6:4] greater than Register 0x0B, Bits[2:0] is prohibited.
Table 20. Input Clock Phase Adjust Options
In full power-down mode (Bits[1:0] = 01), all ADC channels and
the JTX block are powered down, and the digital datapath clocks
are disabled, while the digital datapath is reset. The outputs are
disabled.
In standby mode (Bits[1:0] = 10), all ADC channels are partially
powered down, and the digital datapath clocks are disabled. If
JTX standby mode is set, the outputs are also disabled.
During a digital reset (Bits[1:0] = 11), all the digital datapath clocks
and the outputs (where applicable) on the chip are reset, except
for the SPI port.

JTX User Pattern (Register 0xA0 to Register 0xA7)
The pattern in these registers is output on all active lanes when
Register 0x61, Bits[3:0] are set to 5 or 6. A 32-bit pattern, the
concatenation of Register 0xA0, Register 0xA2, Register 0xA4,
and Register 0xA6 is inserted before the scrambler if Register 0x61,
Bits[5:4] are set to 2. If Register 0x61, Bits[5:4] are set to 1 (a 40-bit
pattern), the concatenation of Register 0xA1, Bits[1:0] and
Register 0xA0, Bits[7:0]; Register 0xA3, Bits[1:0] and
Register 0xA2, Bits[7:0]; Register 0xA5, Bits[1:0] and
Register 0xA4, Bits[7:0]; Register 0xA7, Bits[1:0] and
Register 0xA6, Bits[7:0] is inserted after the 8b/10b encoder.
Resolution/Sample Rate Override (Register 0x100)
This register allows the user to downgrade the resolution and/or
the maximum sample rate (for lower power) in applications that do
not require full resolution and/or sample rate. Settings in this
register are not initialized until Bit 0 of the transfer register
(Register 0xFF) is written high.
Bits[2:0] do not affect the sample rate; they affect the maximum
sample rate capability of the ADC.
Writing to Register 0x100 reverts other registers to defaults. If
nondefault configurations are desired, write to Register 0x100
first, and then perform other desired SPI operations to preserve
the desired configuration.
User I/O Control 2 (Register 0x101)
Bit 0—SDIO Pull-Down
Bit 0 can be set to disable the internal 30 kΩ pull-down resistor
on the SDIO pin. This setting can limit the loading when many
devices are connected to the SPI bus.
User I/O Control 3 (Register 0x102)
Bit 3—VCM Power-Down
Bit 3 can be set high to power down the internal VCM generator.
This feature is used when applying an external reference.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Before starting system level design and layout of the AD9656, it
is recommended that the designer become familiar with these
guidelines, which discuss the special circuit connections and
layout requirements needed for certain pins.
POWER AND GROUND RECOMMENDATIONS
When connecting power to the AD9656, it is recommended to
use separate 1.8 V supplies: one supply for analog (AVDD), a
separate shared supply for the digital outputs (DRVDD), and the
digital (DVDD). DRVDD must be kept at the same voltage as
DVDD. SVDD can be shared with any of the other supplies if
1.8 V SPI operation is desired. The designer can use several
different decoupling capacitors to cover both high and low
frequencies. Locate these capacitors close to the point of entry
at the PCB level and close to the pins of the device with
minimal trace length.
When using the AD9656, a single PCB ground plane is sufficient.
With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the PCB
analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance is
easily achieved.
CLOCK STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
When powered on, the AD9656 enters an initialization phase
during which an internal state machine sets up the biases and
the registers for proper operation. During the initialization
process, the AD9656 requires a stable clock. If the ADC clock
source is not present or not stable during ADC power-up, it
disrupts the state machine and causes the ADC to start up in an
unknown state. To correct this, an initialization sequence must
be reinvoked after the ADC clock is stable by issuing a digital
reset via Register 0x08. In the default configuration (internal
VREF, ac-coupled input) where VREF and VCM are supplied by the
ADC itself, a stable clock during power-up is sufficient. In the
case where VREF and/or VCM are supplied by an external source,
these, too, must be stable at power-up; otherwise, a subsequent
digital reset via Register 0x08 is needed. Interruption of the
sample clock during operation and changes in sample rate also
necessitate a digital reset. The pseudo code sequence for a
digital reset is as follows:
SPI_Write (0x08, 0x03);
# Digital Reset
SPI_Write (0x08, 0x00);
# Normal Operation
EXPOSED PAD THERMAL HEAT SLUG
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is mandatory that the exposed pad on the underside of the ADC
connect to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the best electrical
and thermal performance. A continuous, exposed (no solder mask)
copper plane on the PCB must mate to the AD9656 exposed
pad, Pin 0.
The copper plane must have several vias to achieve the lowest
possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to flow
through the bottom of the PCB. Fill or plug these vias with
nonconductive epoxy.
To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and
the PCB, overlay a silkscreen to partition the continuous plane
on the PCB into several uniform sections. This partitioning
prevents the solder from pooling and provides several tie points
between the ADC and the PCB during the reflow process. Using
one continuous plane with no partitions guarantees only one tie
point between the ADC and the PCB. See the evaluation board
for a PCB layout example. For detailed information about the
packaging and PCB layout of chip scale packages, refer to the
AN-772 Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide
for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).
VCM
Decouple the VCM pin to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
REFERENCE DECOUPLING
Externally bypass the VREF pin to ground with a low ESR,
1.0 µF capacitor in parallel with a low ESR, 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor.
SPI PORT
When the full dynamic performance of the converter is required,
do not activate the SPI port. Because the SCLK, CSB, and SDIO
signals are typically asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from
these signals can degrade converter performance. If the on-board
SPI bus is used for other devices, it may be necessary to provide
buffers between this bus and the AD9656 to keep these signals
from transitioning at the converter input pins during critical
sampling periods.
