C | Page 3 of 46 AD9250 Data Sheet GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9250 is a dual, 14-bit ADC with sampling speeds of up to 250 MSPS. The AD9250 is designed to support communications applications where low cost, small size, wide bandwidth, and versatility are desired. The ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined architecture with integrated output error correction logic. The ADC cores feature wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety of user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference eases design considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing the converters to maintain excellent performance. The JESD204B high speed serial interface reduces board routing requirements and lowers pin count requirements for the receiving device. By default, the ADC output data is routed directly to the two JESD204B serial output lanes. These outputs are at CML voltage levels. Four modes support any combination of M = 1 or 2 (single or dual converters) and L = 1 or 2 (one or two lanes). For dual ADC mode, data can be sent through two lanes at the maximum sampling rate of 250 MSPS. However, if data is sent through one lane, a sampling rate of up to 125 MSPS is supported. Synchronization inputs (SYNCINB± and SYSREF±) are provided. Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings, when desired. Programmable overrange level detection is supported for each channel via the dedicated fast detect pins. Programming for setup and control are accomplished using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. The AD9250 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Rev.

As shown in Table 7, airflow increases heat dissipation, which reduces θJA. In addition, metal in direct contact with the package leads from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power planes reduces the θJA. ESD CAUTION −65°C to +125°C Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Rev.

C | Page 19 of 46 AD9250 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION The AD9250 has two analog input channels and two JESD204B output lanes. The signal passes through several stages before appearing at the output port(s). The dual ADC design can be used for diversity reception of signals, where the ADCs operate identically on the same carrier but from two separate antennae. The ADCs can also be operated with independent analog inputs. The user can sample frequencies from dc to 300 MHz using appropriate low-pass or band-pass filtering at the ADC inputs with little loss in ADC performance. Operation to 400 MHz analog input is permitted but occurs at the expense of increased ADC noise and distortion. A synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized timing between multiple devices. Programming and control of the AD9250 are accomplished using a 3-pin, SPI-compatible serial interface. A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the peak transient current required from the output stage of the driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed across the inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC input; therefore, the precise values are dependent on the application. In intermediate frequency (IF) undersampling applications, reduce the shunt capacitors. In combination with the driving source impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the input bandwidth. Refer to the AN-742 Application Note, Frequency Domain Response of Switched-Capacitor ADCs; the AN-827 Application Note, A Resonant Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to SwitchedCapacitor ADCs; and the Analog Dialogue article, “TransformerCoupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters,” for more information on this subject. BIAS ADC ARCHITECTURE S Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low resolution flash ADC connected to a switched capacitor digitalto-analog converter (DAC) and an interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The MDAC 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 input stage of each channel contains a differential sampling circuit that can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or singleended modes. The output staging block aligns the data, corrects errors, and passes the data to the output buffers. The output buffers are powered from a separate supply, allowing digital output noise to be separated from the analog core. ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS The analog input to the AD9250 is a differential, switched capacitor circuit that has been designed for optimum performance while processing a differential input signal. The clock signal alternatively switches the input between sample mode and hold mode (see the configuration shown in Figure 38). When the input is switched into sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging the sampling capacitors and settling within 1/2 clock cycle. S CFB CS The AD9250 architecture consists of a dual, front-end, sampleand-hold circuit, followed by a pipelined switched capacitor ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into a final 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to operate on a new input sample and the remaining stages to operate on the preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock. VIN+ CPAR1 CPAR2 H S S CS CPAR1 CPAR2 S S CFB BIAS 10559-034 VIN– Figure 38. Switched-Capacitor Input For best dynamic performance, match the source impedances driving VIN+ and VIN− and differentially balance the inputs. Input Common Mode The analog inputs of the AD9250 are not internally dc biased. In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias externally. Setting the device so that VCM = 0.5 × AVDD (or 0.9 V) is recommended for optimum performance. An on-board common-mode voltage reference is included in the design and is available from the VCM pin. Using the VCM output to set the input common mode is recommended. Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode voltage of the analog input is set by the VCM pin voltage (typically 0.5 × AVDD). Decouple the VCM pin to ground by using a 0.1 μF capacitor, as described in the Applications Information section. Place this decoupling capacitor close to the pin to minimize the series resistance and inductance between the part and this capacitor. Differential Input Configurations Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD9250 in a differential input configuration. For baseband applications, the AD8138, ADA4937-2, ADA4938-2, and ADA4930-2 differential drivers provide excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC. Rev. C | Page 20 of 46 Data Sheet AD9250 The output common-mode voltage of the ADA4930-2 is easily set with the VCM pin of the AD9250 (see Figure 39), and the driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to provide band-limiting of the input signal. In the double balun and transformer configurations, the value of the input capacitors and resistors is dependent on the input frequency and source impedance. Based on these parameters, the value of the input resistors and capacitors may need to be adjusted or some components may need to be removed. Table 9 displays recommended values to set the RC network for different input frequency ranges. However, these values are dependent on the input signal and bandwidth and should be used only as a starting guide. Note that the values given in Table 9 are for each R1, R2, C1, C2, and R3 components shown in Figure 40 and Figure 41. 15pF 200Ω VIN– AVDD 5pF ADC ADA4930-2 0.1µF 33Ω 15Ω VCM VIN+ 120Ω 15pF 200Ω 0.1µF Table 9.

At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the true SNR performance of the AD9250. For applications where SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling is the recommended input configuration (see Figure 41). In this configuration, the input is ac-coupled and the VCM voltage is provided to each input through a 33 Ω resistor. These resistors compensate for losses in the input baluns to provide a 50 Ω impedance to the driver. 0.1µF R3 Shunt (Ω) 24.9 24.9 24.9 180nH 220nH Consider the signal characteristics when selecting a transformer.

The AD8375 or AD8376 digital variable gain amplifier (DVGAs) provides good performance for driving the AD9250. Figure 42 shows an example of the AD8376 driving the AD9250 through a band-pass antialiasing filter. C2 R3 R1 Series (Ω) 33 15 15 10559-038 15Ω 33Ω 90Ω 76.8Ω VIN The AD9250 has two options for deriving the input sampling clock, a differential Nyquist sampling clock input or an RF clock input (which is internally divided by 4). The clock input is selected in Register 0x09 and by default is configured for the Nyquist clock input. For optimum performance, clock the AD9250 Nyquist sample clock input, CLK+ and CLK−, with a differential signal. The signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a transformer or via capacitors. These pins are biased internally (see Figure 43) and require no external bias. If the clock inputs are floated, CLK− is pulled slightly lower than CLK+ to prevent spurious clocking. Rev. C | Page 21 of 46 AD9250 Data Sheet The AD9250 Nyquist clock input supports a differential clock between 40 MHz to 625 MHz. The clock input structure supports differential input voltages from 0.3 V to 3.6 V and is therefore compatible with various logic family inputs, such as CMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL. A sine wave input is also accepted, but higher slew rates typically provide optimal performance. Clock source jitter is a critical parameter that can affect performance, as described in the Jitter Considerations section. If the inputs are floated, pull the CLK− pin low to prevent spurious clocking. The Nyquist clock input pins, CLK+ and CLK−, are internally biased to 0.9 V and have a typical input impedance of 4 pF in parallel with 10 kΩ (see Figure 43). The input clock is typically ac-coupled to CLK+ and CLK−. Some typical clock drive circuits are presented in Figure 44 through Figure 47 for reference.

Equivalent Nyquist Clock Input Circuit For applications where a single-ended low jitter clock between 40 MHz to 200 MHz is available, an RF transformer is recommended. An example using an RF transformer in the clock network is shown in Figure 44. At frequencies above 200 MHz, an RF balun is recommended, as seen in Figure 45. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer secondary limit clock excursions into the AD9250 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This limit helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding through to other portions of the AD9250, yet preserves the fast rise and fall times of the clock, which are critical to low jitter performance.

Balun-Coupled Differential Clock (Up to 625 MHz) In some cases, it is desirable to buffer or generate multiple clocks from a single source. In those cases, Analog Devices, Inc., offers clock drivers with excellent jitter performance. Figure 46 shows a typical PECL driver circuit that uses PECL drivers such as the AD9510, AD9511, AD9512, AD9513, AD9514, AD9515, AD9516-0 through AD9516-5 device family, AD9517-0 through It is recommended to drive the RF clock input of the AD9250 with a PECL or sine wave signal with a minimum signal amplitude of 600 mV peak to peak. Regardless of the type of signal being used, clock source jitter is of the most concern, as described in the Jitter Considerations section. Figure 49 shows the preferred method of clocking when using the RF clock input on the AD9250. It is recommended to use a 50 Ω transmission line to route the clock signal to the RF clock input of the AD9250 due to the high frequency nature of the signal and terminate the transmission line close to the RF clock input.

Differential PECL RF Clock Input Circuit Figure 50 shows the RF clock input of the AD9250 being driven from the LVPECL outputs of the AD9515. The differential LVPECL output signal from the AD9515 is converted to a singleended signal using an RF balun or RF transformer. The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock frequencies associated with the RF clock input. Input Clock Divider The AD9250 contains an input clock divider with the ability to divide the Nyquist input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. The RF clock input uses an on-chip predivider to divide the clock input by four before it reaches the 1 to 8 divider. This allows higher input frequencies to be achieved on the RF clock input. The divide ratios can be selected using Register 0x09 and Register 0x0B. Register 0x09 is used to set the RF clock input, and Register 0x0B can be used to set the divide ratio of the 1-to-8 divider for both the RF clock input and the Nyquist clock input. For divide ratios other than 1, the duty-cycle stabilizer is automatically enabled. Jitter on the rising edge of the input clock is still of paramount concern and is not reduced by the duty cycle stabilizer. The duty cycle control loop does not function for clock rates less than 40 MHz nominally. The loop has a time constant associated with it that must be considered when 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. During the time that the loop is not locked, the DCS loop is bypassed, and the internal device timing is dependent on the duty cycle of the input clock signal. In such applications, it may be appropriate to disable the duty cycle stabilizer. In all other applications, enabling the DCS circuit is recommended to maximize ac performance. 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 (fIN) due to jitter (tJ) can be calculated by SNRHF = −10 log[(2π × fIN × tJRMS)2 + 10 ( − SNRLF /10) ] ÷4 NYQUIST CLOCK Figure 51. AD9250 Clock Divider Circuit The AD9250 clock divider can be synchronized using the external SYSREF input. Bit 1 and Bit 2 of Register 0x3A allow the clock divider to be resynchronized on every SYSREF signal or only on the first signal after the register is written. A valid SYSREF causes the clock divider to reset to its initial state. This synchronization feature allows multiple parts to have their clock dividers aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling. Clock Duty Cycle In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root-meansquare of all jitter sources, which include the clock input, the analog input signal, and the ADC aperture jitter specification. IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter, as shown in Figure 52. 80 75 70 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 AD9250 contains a DCS that retimes the nonsampling (falling) edge, providing an internal clock signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows the user to provide a wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance of the AD9250. Rev.

Separate the power supplies for the clock drivers 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 another method), retime it by the original clock at the last step. Refer to the AN-501 Application Note, Aperture Uncertainty and ADC System Performance and the AN-756 Application Note, Sampled Systems and the Effects of Clock Phase Noise and Jitter for more information about jitter performance as it relates to ADCs. POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE As shown in Figure 53, the power dissipated by the AD9250 is proportional to its sample rate. The data in Figure 53 was taken using the same operating conditions as those used for the Typical Performance Characteristics section. By asserting PDWN (either through the SPI port or by asserting the PDWN pin high), the AD9250 is placed in power-down mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates about 9 mW. Asserting the PDWN pin low returns the AD9250 to its normal operating mode. 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 powerdown mode and then must be recharged when returning to normal operation. As a result, wake-up time is related to the time spent in power-down mode, and 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.

AD9250-250 Power vs. Encode Rate Rev. C | Page 24 of 46 Data Sheet AD9250 DIGITAL OUTPUTS JESD204B TRANSMIT TOP LEVEL DESCRIPTION The AD9250 digital output uses the JEDEC Standard No. JESD204B, Serial Interface for Data Converters. JESD204B is a protocol to link the AD9250 to a digital processing device over a serial interface of up to 5 Gbps link speeds (3.5 Gbps, 14-bit ADC data rate). The benefits of the JESD204B interface include a reduction in required board area for data interface routing and the enabling of smaller packages for converter and logic devices. The AD9250 supports single or dual lane interfaces. JESD204B OVERVIEW The JESD204B data transmit block 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 details on the JESD204B interface, refer to the JESD204B standard. The AD9250 JESD204B transmit block maps the output of the two ADCs over a link. A link can be configured to use either single or dual serial differential outputs that 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 (AD9250 output) and receiver. The JESD204B link is described according to the following parameters: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • S = samples transmitted/single converter/frame cycle (AD9250 value = 1) M = number of converters/converter device (AD9250 value = 2 by default, or can be set to 1) L = number of lanes/converter device (AD9250 value = 1 or 2) N = converter resolution (AD9250 value = 14) N’ = total number of bits per sample (AD9250 value = 16) CF = number of control words/frame clock cycle/converter device (AD9250 value = 0) CS = number of control bits/conversion sample (configurable on the AD9250 up to 2 bits) K = number of frames per multiframe (configurable on the AD9250) HD = high density mode (AD9250 value = 0) F = octets/frame (AD9250 value = 2 or 4, dependent upon L = 2 or 1) C = control bit (overrange, overflow, underflow; available on the AD9250) T = tail bit (available on the AD9250) SCR = scrambler enable/disable (configurable on the AD9250) FCHK = checksum for the JESD204B parameters (automatically calculated and stored in register map) Figure 54 shows a simplified block diagram of the AD9250 JESD204B link. By default, the AD9250 is configured to use two converters and two lanes. Converter A data is output to SERDOUT0+/SERDOUT0−, and Converter B is output to SERDOUT1+/SERDOUT1−. The AD9250 allows for other configurations such as combining the outputs of both converters onto a single lane or changing the mapping of the A and B digital output paths. These modes are setup through a quick configuration register in the SPI register map, along with additional customizable options. By default in the AD9250, the 14-bit converter word from each converter is broken into two octets (8 bits of data). Bit 13 (MSB) through Bit 6 are in the first octet. The second octet contains Bit 5 through Bit 0 (LSB), and two tail bits are added to fill the second octet. The tail bits can be configured as zeros, pseudorandom number sequence or control bits indicating overrange, underrange, or valid data conditions. 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 should 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 55 shows how the 14-bit data is taken from the ADC, the tail bits are added, the two octets are scrambled, and how the octets are encoded into two 10-bit symbols. Figure 55 illustrates the default data format. At the data link layer, in addition to the 8b/10b encoding, the character replacement is used to allow 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. 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. 204B-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. Rev. C | Page 25 of 46 AD9250 Data Sheet SYNCHRONIZATION For Subclass 0 and harmonic input clock, The AD9250 requires internal synchronization to process the ADC data and produce a JESD204B output. To accommodate extreme temperature changes and inconsistent power-up conditions that can occur, the timing of these circuits requires additional margin. To increase the timing margin, the procedures described in this section is required to maintain internal timing synchronization and maintain JESD204B link quality. 1. There are four specific cases to consider to accommodate, JESD204B Subclass 0 or 1 operation and if using Nyquist or harmonic clocking. Harmonic clocking uses an input clock at a multiple of between 2 through 8 of the ADC sample rate where the AD9250 internal clock divider is set (using Register 0x0B). See Table 14 for a description of configuring JESD204B link modes of operation using Register 0x3A.

Bring the JESD204B receiver out of reset. If the AD9250 has been configured for the continuous SYSREF mode of operation using Register 0x3A, Bit 2 = 1, it is important to disable the internal SYSREF buffer by setting Register 0x3A, Bit 2 = 0, to remove the impact of external false triggers that affect the digital path.

SYSREF and SYNC are common to all converter devices for alignment purposes at the system level. The synchronization process is accomplished over three phases: code group synchronization (CGS), initial lane alignment sequence (ILAS), and data transmission. If scrambling is enabled, scrambling begins with the first data byte following the last alignment character of the ILAS. CGS and ILAS phases are not scrambled. CGS Phase In the CGS phase, the JESD204B transmit block transmits /K28.5/ characters. The receiver (external logic device) must locate K28.5 characters in its input data stream using clock and data recovery (CDR) techniques. When in Subclass 1 mode, the receiver locks onto the K28.5 characters. Once detected, the receiver initiates a SYSREF edge so that the AD9250 transmit data establishes a local multiframe clock (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. If Subclass 0: at the next receiver’s internal clock; if Subclass 1: at the next receiver’s LMFC boundary, the receiver or logic device de-asserts the SYNC~ signal (SYNCINB± goes high), and the transmitter block begins the ILAS phase. ILAS Phase In the ILAS phase, the transmitter sends out a known pattern, and the receiver aligns all lanes of the link and verifies the parameters of the link. The ILAS phase begins after SYNC~ has been de-asserted (goes high). If Subclass 0: the transmitter begins ILAS at the 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 10), and ends with an /A/ character. Many of the parameters values are of the notation of the value − 1. Multiframe 3: Is the same as Multiframe 1. Multiframe 4: Is the same as Multiframe 1. 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. Table 10.

This is accomplished by writing Logic 1 to Register 0x5F, Bit 0. Select Quick Configuration Option Write to Register 0x5E, the 204B quick configuration register to select the configuration options. See Table 13 for configuration options and resulting JESD204B parameter values. • • • • The F value is fixed through the quick configuration setting to ensure this relationship is true. Table 11.

By default, scrambling is enabled. Per the JESD204B protocol, scrambling is only functional after the lane synchronization has completed. Configure the tail bits and control bits. Select lane synchronization options. • 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: • • With N’ = 16 and N = 14, there are two bits 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 psuedo random numbers (Register 0x5F, Bit 6). One or two control bits can be used instead of the tail bits through Register 0x72, Bits[7:6]. The tail bits can be set using Register 0x14, Bits[7:5], and can be enabled using Address 0x5F, Bit 6. Set lane identification values. • • • Per the JESD204B specification, a multiframe is defined as a group of K successive frames, where K is between 1 and 32, and it requires that the number of octets be between 17 and 1024. The K value is set to 32 by default in Register 0x70, Bits[7:0]. Note that Register 0x70 represents a value of K − 1. The K value can be changed; however, it must comply with a few conditions. The AD9250 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. • • [N] = 14: number of bits per converter is 14, in Register 0x72, Bits[4:0]; Register 0x72 represents a value of N − 1. [N’] = 16: number of bits per sample is 16, in Register 0x73, Bits[4:0]; Register 0x73 represents a value of N’ − 1. [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 AD9250 calculates values for some JESD204B parameters based on other settings, particularly the quick configuration register selection. The read only values here are available in the register map for verification. • • • • • 32 ≥ K ≥ Ceil (17/F) • ILAS enabling is controlled in Register 0x5F, Bits[3:2] and by default is enabled. 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 AD9250 has fixed values of some of the JESD204B interface parameters, and they are as follows: • 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. There are three identification values: 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 number of frames per multiframe, K • • The JESD204B specification also calls for the number of octets per multiframe (K × F) to be between 17 and 1024. Rev. C | Page 28 of 46 [L] = lanes per link can be 1 or 2, read the values from Register 0x6E, Bit 0 [F] = octets per frame can be 1, 2, or 4, read the value from Register 0x6F, Bits[7:0] [HD] = high density mode can be 0 or 1, read the value from Register 0x75, Bit 7 [M] = number of converters per link can be 1 or 2, read the value from Register 0x71, Bits[7:0] [S] = samples per converter per frame can be 1 or 2, read the value from Register 0x74, Bits[4:0] Data Sheet AD9250 Check FCHK, Checksum of JESD204B Interface Parameters Additional Digital Output Configuration Options 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. Other data format controls include the following: Invert polarity of serial output data: Register 0x60, Bit 1. ADC data format (offset binary or twos complement): Register 0x14, Bits[1:0]. Options for interpreting single on SYSREF± and SYNCINB±: Register 0x3A. See Table 14 for additional descriptions of Register 0x3A controls. Option to remap converter and lane assignments, Register 0x82 and Register 0x83. See Figure 54 for simplified block diagram. The checksum value is the modulo 256 sum of the parameters listed in the No. column of Table 12. The checksum is calculated by adding the parameter fields before they are packed into the octets shown in Table 12. The FCHK for the lane configuration for data coming out of Lane 0 can be read from Register 0x78. Similarly, the FCHK for the lane configuration for data coming out of Lane 1 can be read from Register 0x79. Re-Enable Lanes After Configuration 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. Table 12.

AD9250 JESD204B Configuration, Register 0x3A Bit No. 0 Register Description Enable internal SYSREF buffer 1 SYSREF± enable 2 SYSREF± mode 3 Realign on SYSREF; forSubclass 1 only 4 Realign on SYNCB; for Subclass 1 only Functional Description This bit controls the on-chip buffer for the SYSREF singal. By default, this bit is 0, which disables the buffer. If the AD9250 is configured for JESD204B Subclass 1 operation, SYSREF is required to align the JESD204B link and this bit must be set to 1. To avoid a false trigger as a result of transients caused when enabling the buffer (particularly for one-shot SYSREF configuration), set this bit first and then in a consecutive SPI register write, configure all remaining bits in Register 0x3A to the desired JESD204B link configuration, including keeping this bit at 1. A setting of 0 (default) gates the SYSREF signal such that the internal logic is not affected by an external SYSREF. Set this bit to 0 when in Subclass 0, that is, when SYSREF is not used. If using Subclass 1 with one-shot SYSREF mode, enable the buffer while the SYSREF is established, but then disable it during normal operation. If using Subclass 1 with continuous SYSREF mode, the buffer must remain enabled for normal operation. This bit enables the circuitry that uses the SYSREF input signal and must be on to enable Subclass 1 operation. Set this bit to 1 when using JESD204B Subclass 1 operation. This bit is self clearing after a valid SYSREF occurs when SYSREF± mode (Register 0x3A, Bit 2) is set to 1 (configured for one-shot SYSREF operation). Note that SYSREF is still used in some digital circuitry even if this bit is 0; to disable the SYSREF signal internally, Register 0x3A Bit 0 must be set to 0. This bit is used in Subclass 1 operation to define one shot or continuous SYSREF mode. To configure continuous (or gapped periodic) SYSREF, this bit is set to 0. For one-shot operation, this bit is set to 1. In one-shot mode, it is recommended that the SYSREF buffer be disabled after SYSREF has occurred by setting Register 0x3A, Bit 0 to 0. When this bit is set to 1, the internal clock alignment for the JESD204B timing is forced when an active SYSREF occurs. This is recommended only for one-shot mode and must only be done prior to initially establishing a link. This resets the JESD204B link on active SYSREF and requires additional clock alignment register writes after realignment to set up timing margin over temperature properly. See the Synchronization section for the clock alignment procedure. For continuous SYSREF mode, this bit must be set to 0 during normal operation. When this bit is set to 1, the internal clock alignment for the JESD204B timing is forced when an active SYNC occurs. An active SYNC requires the SYNCINB input to be logic low for at least four consecutive LMFCs. Table 15.

The 14-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 15 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. The AD9250 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 4 mA. Each output presents a 100 Ω dynamic internal termination to reduce unwanted reflections. Place a 100 Ω differential termination resistor at each receiver input to result in a nominal 300 mV peak-to-peak swing at the receiver (see Figure 57). Alternatively, single-ended 50 Ω termination can be used. When single-ended termination is used, the termination voltage should be DRVDD/2; otherwise, ac coupling capacitors can be used to terminate to any single-ended voltage. Based on the operating mode, the receiver can ensure that it is still synchronized to the frame boundary by correctly receiving the replacement characters. Rev.

DC-Coupled Digital Output Termination Example If there is no far-end receiver termination, or if there is poor differential trace routing, timing errors may result. To avoid such timing errors, it is recommended that the trace length be less than six inches, and that the differential output traces be close together and at equal lengths. Figure 57. AC-Coupled Digital Output Termination Example The AD9250 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. The common mode of the digital output automatically biases itself to half the supply of the receiver (that is, the common-mode voltage is 0.9 V for a receiver supply of 1.8 V) if dc-coupled connecting is used (see Figure 58). For receiver logic that is not within the bounds of the DRVDD supply, use an ac-coupled connection. Simply place a 0.1 μF capacitor on each output pin and derive a 100 Ω differential termination close to the receiver side. Figure 59 shows an example of the digital output (default) data eye and time interval error (TIE) jitter histogram and bathtub curve for the AD9250 lane running at 5 Gbps. 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 17). The power dissipation of the DRVDD supply increases when this option is used. See the Memory Map section for more details. The format of the output data is twos complement by default. To change the output data format to offset binary, see the Memory Map section (Register 0x14 in Table 17).

C | Page 32 of 46 0.5 10559-156 HEIGHT1: EYE DIAGRAM Data Sheet AD9250 ADC OVERRANGE AND GAIN CONTROL Fast Threshold Detection (FDA and FDB) In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped. The standard overflow indicator provides delayed information on the state of the analog input that is of limited value in preventing clipping. Therefore, it is helpful to have a programmable threshold below full scale that allows time to reduce the gain before the clip occurs. In addition, because input signals can have significant slew rates, latency of this function is of concern. The FD indicator is asserted if the input magnitude exceeds the value programmed in the fast detect upper threshold registers, located in Register 0x47 and Register 0x48. The selected threshold register is compared with the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC. The fast upper threshold detection has a latency of 7 clock cycles. The approximate upper threshold magnitude is defined by Upper Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20 log (Threshold Magnitude/213) Using the SPI port, the user can provide a threshold above which the FD output is active. Bit 0 of Register 0x45 enables the fast detect feature. Register 0x47 to Register 0x4A allow the user to set the threshold levels. As long as the signal is below the selected threshold, the FD output remains low. In this mode, the magnitude of the data is considered in the calculation of the condition, but the sign of the data is not considered. The threshold detection responds identically to positive and negative signals outside the desired range (magnitude). Or, alternatively, the register value can be calculated by the target threshold using the following equation: Value = 10(Threshold Magnitude [dBFS]/20) × 213 The FD indicators are not cleared until the signal drops below the lower threshold for the programmed dwell time. The lower threshold is programmed in the fast detect lower threshold registers, located at Register 0x49 and Register 0x4A. The fast detect lower threshold register is a 13-bit register that is compared with the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC. This comparison is subject to the ADC pipeline latency but is accurate in terms of converter resolution. The lower threshold magnitude is defined by ADC OVERRANGE (OR) The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange condition is determined at the output of the ADC pipeline and, therefore, is subject to a latency of 36 ADC clock cycles. An overrange at the input is indicated by this bit 36 clock cycles after it occurs. Lower Threshold Magnitude (dBFS) = 20 log (Threshold Magnitude/213) GAIN SWITCHING For example, to set an upper threshold of −6 dBFS, write 0x0FFF to those registers; and to set a lower threshold of −10 dBFS, write 0x0A1D to those registers. The AD9250 includes circuitry that is useful in applications either where large dynamic ranges exist, or where gain ranging amplifiers are employed. This circuitry allows digital thresholds to be set such that an upper threshold and a lower threshold can be programmed. The dwell time can be programmed from 1 to 65,535 sample clock cycles by placing the desired value in the fast detect dwell time registers, located in Register 0x4B and Register 0x4C. One such use is to detect when an ADC is about to reach full scale with a particular input condition. The result is to provide an indicator that can be used to quickly insert an attenuator that prevents ADC overdrive. The operation of the upper threshold and lower threshold registers, along with the dwell time registers, is shown in Figure 61.

The dc correction circuit can also be switched into the main signal path; however, this may not be appropriate if the ADC is digitizing a time-varying signal with significant dc content, such as GSM. DC CORRECTION READBACK DC CORRECTION BANDWIDTH Setting Bit 6 of Register 0x40 freezes the dc correction at its current state and continues to use the last updated value as the dc correction value. Clearing this bit restarts dc correction and adds the currently calculated value to the data. The dc correction circuit is a high-pass filter with a programmable bandwidth (ranging between 0.29 Hz and 2.387 kHz at 245.76 MSPS). The bandwidth is controlled by writing to the 4-bit dc correction bandwidth select register, located at Register 0x40, Bits[5:2]. The following equation can be used to compute the bandwidth value for the dc correction circuit: The current dc correction value can be read back in Register 0x41 and Register 0x42 for each channel. The dc correction value is a 16-bit value that can span the entire input range of the ADC. DC CORRECTION FREEZE DC CORRECTION (DCC) ENABLE BITS Setting Bit 1 of Register 0x40 enables dc correction for use in the output data signal path. DC_Corr_BW = 2−k−14 × fCLK/(2 × π) where: k is the 4-bit value programmed in Bits[5:2] of Register 0x40 (values between 0 and 13 are valid for k). fCLK is the AD9250 ADC sample rate in hertz. Rev. C | Page 34 of 46 Data Sheet AD9250 SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI) The AD9250 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 detailed 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 CS pin (see Table 16). The SCLK (serial clock) pin is used to synchronize the read and write data presented from/to the ADC. The SDIO (serial data input/output) pin is a dual-purpose pin that allows data to be sent and read from the internal ADC memory map registers. The CS (chip select bar) pin is an active low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles. Table 16. Serial Port Interface Pins Pin SCLK SDIO CS Function Serial Clock. The serial shift clock input, which is used to synchronize 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 CS, in conjunction with the rising edge of SCLK, determines the start of the framing. An example of the serial timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 62 and Table 5. Other modes involving the CS are available. The CS can be held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the device; this is called streaming. The CS can stall high between bytes to allow for additional external timing. When CS is tied high, SPI functions are placed in a high impedance mode. This mode turns on any SPI pin secondary functions. 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. 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 16 comprise the physical interface between the user programming device and the serial port of the AD9250. The SCLK pin and the CS 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 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. Do not activate the SPI port during periods when the full dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the SCLK signal, the CS 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 AD9250 to prevent these signals from transitioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods. During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted. Data follows the instruction phase, and its length is determined by the W0 and the W1 bits. Rev.

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 0xA8). An explanation of logic level terminology follows: The memory map register table (see Table 18) 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 more information on this function and others, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. This document details the functions controlled by Register 0x00 to Register 0x25. The remaining registers, Register 0x3A and Register 0x59, are documented in the Memory Map Register Description section. Open and Reserved Locations All address and bit locations that are not included in Table 18 are not currently supported for this device. Unused bits of a valid address location should be written with 0s. 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. Default Values After the AD9250 is reset, critical registers are loaded with default values. The default values for the registers are given in the memory map register table, Table 18. • • “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.” Transfer Register Map Address 0x09, Address 0x0B to Address 0x14, Address 18, Address 3A, Address 0x40 to Address 0x4C are shadowed. Writes to these addresses do not affect part operation until a transfer command is issued by writing 0x01 to Address 0xFF, setting the transfer bit. This allows these registers to be updated internally and simultaneously when the transfer bit is set. The internal update takes place when the transfer bit is set, and then the bit autoclears. Channel-Specific Registers Some channel setup functions, such as the signal monitor thresholds, 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 18 as local. These local registers and bits can be accessed by setting the appropriate Channel A or Channel B bits in Register 0x05. If both bits are set, the subsequent write affects the registers of both channels. In a read cycle, only Channel A or Channel B should be set to read one of the two registers. If both bits are set during an SPI read cycle, the part returns the value for Channel A. Registers and bits designated as global in Table 18 affect the entire part 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. Rev.

Power and Ground Recommendations When connecting power to the AD9250, use two separate 1.8 V power supplies. The power supply for AVDD can be isolated and for DVDD and DRVDD it can be tied together, in which case isolation between DVDD and DRVDD is required. Isolation can be achieved using a ferrite bead or an inductor of approximately 1 μH. An unfiltered switching regulator is not recommended for the DRVDD supply as it impacts the performance of the JESD204B serial transmission lines and may result in link problems. Alternately, the JESD204B PHY power (DRVDD) and analog (AVDD) supplies can be tied together, and a separate supply can be used for the digital outputs (DVDD). The designer can employ several different decoupling capacitors to cover both high and low frequencies. Locate these capacitors close to the point of entry at the PC board level and close to the pins of the part with minimal trace length. Each power supply domain must have local high frequency decoupling capacitors. This is especially important for DRVDD and AVDD to maintain analog performance. When using the AD9250, a single PCB ground plane should be sufficient. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the PCB analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance is easily achieved. Exposed Paddle Thermal Heat Slug Recommendations 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 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, as shown in Figure 40. For optimal channel-to-channel isolation, include a 33 Ω resistor between the AD9250 VCM pin and the Channel A analog input network connection, as well as between the AD9250 VCM pin and the Channel B analog input network connection. SPI Port When the full dynamic performance of the converter is required, do not activate the SPI port during periods. Because the SCLK, CS, 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 AD9250 to keep these signals from transitioning at the converter input pins during critical sampling periods. It is mandatory that the exposed paddle on the underside of the ADC be connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the best electrical and thermal performance. Mate a continuous, exposed (no solder mask) copper plane on the PCB to the AD9250 exposed paddle, Pin 0. Rev. C | Page 43 of 46 AD9250 Data Sheet JESD204B Configuration This section describes an example of the setup required to configure Subclass 1 operation. This example assumes the input clock is equal to the conversion rate. 1. 2. 3. Provide a stable input clock and power to the AD9250. Disable the JESD204B PHY by setting Register 0x5F to 0x15. Set the quick configuration register, Register 0x5E to load various base configurations based on M and L. 4. Enable internal SYSREF buffer by setting Register 0x3A to Register 0x01. 5. Configure the method of SYSREF operation: For one-shot SYSREF operation, set Register 0x3A to 0x0F For continuous or gapped periodic SYSREF operation, set Register 0x3A to 0x03. 6. Set Register 0xEE and Register 0xEF to a value of 0x80. 7. Set other JESD204B related registers if desired, specifically Register 0x14, Register 0x15, Register 0x21, Register 0x60 to Register 0x67, Register 0x6E, Register 0x70, Register 0x82, Register 0x83, Register 0x8B, and Register 0xA8. 8. Enable the JESD204B PHY by setting Register 0x5F to 0x14. 9. Verify Register 0x0A reads back 0x81 indicating the PLL is locked and the link is ready. 10. Apply the SYSREF synchronization signal to the AD9250. 11. Wait at least 6 LMFCs. 12. If the AD9250 is configured for one-shot SYSREF, it is recommended to disable the internal SYSREF buffer at this point by setting Register 0x3A to 0x04. 13. Perform the clock adjustment writes in the following order: a. Write 0x81 to Register 0xEE. b. Write 0x81 to Register 0xEF. c. Write 0x82 to Register 0xEE. d. Write 0x82 to Register 0xEF. e. Write 0x83 to Register 0xEE. f. Write 0x83 to Register 0xEF. g. Write 0x84 to Register 0xEE. h. Write 0x84 to Register 0xEF. i. Write 0x85 to Register 0xEE. j. Write 0x85 to Register 0xEF. k. Write 0x86 to Register 0xEE. l. Write 0x86 to Register 0xEF. m. Write 0x87 to Register 0xEE. n. Write 0x87 to Register 0xEF. 14. Wait at least 6 LMFCs. 15. The receiver can now begin the CGS phase of the link. Rev.
