14-Bit, 500/350 MSPS JESD204B High Speed Serial
Output ADC
ISLA214S50
Features
The ISLA214S50 is a series of low-power, high-performance,
14-bit, analog-to-digital converters. Designed with
FemtoCharge™ technology on a standard CMOS process, the
series supports sampling rates of up to 500MSPS. The
ISLA214S50 is part of a pin-compatible family of 12-, 14-, and
16-bit A/Ds with maximum sample rates ranging from
125MSPS to 500MSPS. The family minimizes power
consumption while providing state-of-the-art dynamic
performance.
• JESD204A/B High Speed Data Interface
- JESD204A Compliant
- JESD204B Device Subclass 0 Compliant
- JESD204B Device Subclass 2 Compatible
- Up to 3 JESD204 Output Lanes Running up to 4.375Gbps
- Highly Configurable JESD204 Transmitter
• Multiple Chip Time Alignment and Deterministic Latency
Support (JESD204B Device Subclass 2)
• SPI Programmable Debugging Features and Test Patterns
• 48-pin QFN 7mmx7mm Package
The device utilizes two time-interleaved 250MSPS unit ADCs to
achieve the ultimate sample rate of 500MSPS. A single
500MHz conversion clock is presented to the converter, and all
interleave clocking is managed internally. The proprietary
Intersil Interleave Engine (I2E) performs automatic correction
of offset, gain, and sample time mismatches between the unit
ADCs to optimize performance.
The ISLA214S50 offers a highly configurable, JESD204Bcompliant, high speed serial output link. The link offers data
rates up to 4.375 Gbps per lane and multiple packing modes.
The link can be configured to use two or three lanes to
transmit the conversion data, allowing for flexibility in the
receiver design. The JESD204 transmitter also provides
deterministic latency and multi-chip time alignment support to
satisfy complex synchronization requirements.
A serial peripheral interface (SPI) port allows for extensive
configurability of the ADC and its JESD204B transmitter
including access to its built-in link and transport-layer test
patterns as well as the programmable clock divider, enabling
2x harmonic clocking.

6. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
7. PSRR is calculated by the equation 20*log10(A/B), where B is the amplitude of a disturber sinusoid on AVDD at the device pins, and A is the
amplitude of the spur in the captured data at the frequency of the disturber sinusoid.
8. AC Specifications apply after internal calibration of the ADC is invoked at the given sample rate and temperature. Refer to “Power-On Calibration” on
page 15 and “User Initiated Reset” on page 16 for more detail.
9. The DLL Range setting must be changed via SPI for ADC core sample rates below 160MSPS. The JESD204 transmitter can support ADC sample rates
below 200MSPS, as long as the lane data rate is greater than or equal to 1Gbps.
10. Minimum specification guaranteed when calibrated at +85°C.

NOTES:
11. The Tri-Level Inputs internal switching thresholds are approximately. 0.43V and 1.34V. It is advised to float the inputs, tie to ground or AVDD depending
on desired function.
12. The synchronous clock divider reset function is available as a (SPI-programmable) overload on the SYNC input.
13. The voltage is expressed in peak-to-peak differential swing. The peak-to-peak single-ended swing is 1/2 of the differential swing.
14. The SPI interface timing is directly proportional to the ADC sample period (tS). Values above reflect multiples of a 2ns sample period, and must be
scaled proportionally for lower sample rates. ADC sample clock must be running for SPI communication.
15. The SPI may operate asynchronously with respect to the ADC sample clock.

Theory of Operation
A user-initiated reset can subsequently be invoked in the event
that the above conditions cannot be met at power-up.
Functional Description
The device is based upon a 14-bit, 250MSPS ADC converter core
that utilizes a pipelined successive approximation architecture
(see Figure 28). The input voltage is captured by a Sample-Hold
Amplifier (SHA) and converted to a unit of charge. Proprietary
charge-domain techniques are used to successively compare the
input to a series of reference charges. Decisions made during the
successive approximation operations determine the digital code
for each input value. Digital error correction is also applied.
Power-On Calibration
The ADC core(s) perform a self-calibration at start-up. An internal
power-on-reset (POR) circuit detects the supply voltage ramps
and initiates the calibration when the analog and digital supply
voltages are above a threshold. The following conditions must be
adhered to for the power-on calibration to execute successfully:
• A frequency-stable conversion clock must be applied to the
CLKP/CLKN pins
After the power supply has stabilized the internal POR releases
RESETN and an internal pull-up pulls it high, which starts the
calibration sequence. If a subsequent user-initiated reset is
desired, the RESETN pin should be connected to an open-drain
driver with an off-state/high impedance state leakage of less
than 0.5mA to assure exit from the reset state so calibration can
start.
The calibration sequence is initiated on the rising edge of
RESETN, as shown in Figure 29. Calibration status can be
determined by reading the cal_status bit (LSB) at 0xB6. This bit is
‘0’ during calibration and goes to a logic ‘1’ when calibration is
complete. During calibration the JESD204 transmitter PLL is not
locked to the ADC sample clock, so the CML outputs will toggle at
an undetermined rate. Normal operation is resumed once
calibration is complete.
At 250MSPS the nominal calibration time is 280ms, while the
maximum calibration time is 550ms.
• DNC pins must not be connected
• SDO has an internal pull-up and should not be driven externally
• RESETN is pulled low by the ADC internally during POR.
External driving of RESETN is optional.
• SPI communications must not be attempted during
calibration, with the only exception of performing read
operations on the cal_done register at address 0xB6.

ISLA214S50
The performance of the ISLA214S50 changes with variations in
temperature, supply voltage or sample rate. The extent of these
changes may necessitate recalibration, depending on system
performance requirements. Best performance will be achieved
by recalibrating the ADC under the environmental conditions at
which it will operate.

BEGINS
A supply voltage variation of <100mV will generally result in an
SNR change of <0.5dBFS and SFDR change of <3dBc. In
situations where the sample rate is not constant, best results will
be obtained if the device is calibrated at the highest sample rate.
Reducing the sample rate by less than 80MSPS will typically
result in an SNR change of <0.5dBFS and an SFDR change of
<3dBc.
CALIBRATION
COMPLETE
FIGURE 29. CALIBRATION TIMING
User Initiated Reset
Recalibration of the ADC can be initiated at any time by driving
the RESETN pin low for a minimum of one clock cycle. An
open-drain driver with a drive strength in its high impedance
state of less than 0.5mA is recommended, as RESETN has an
internal high impedance pull-up to OVDD. As is the case during
power-on reset, RESETN and DNC pins must be in the proper
state for the calibration to successfully execute.
Figures 30 through 32 show the effect of temperature on SNR
and SFDR performance with power on calibration performed at
-40°C, +25°C, and +85°C. Each plot shows the variation of
SNR/SFDR across temperature after a single power on
calibration at -40°C, +25°C and +85°C. Best performance is
typically achieved by a user-initiated power on calibration at the
operating conditions, as stated earlier. However, it can be seen
that performance drift with temperature is not a very strong
function of the temperature at which the power on calibration is
performed.

This dual transformer scheme is used to improve common-mode

FIGURE 33. ANALOG INPUT RANGE
Best performance is obtained when the analog inputs are driven
differentially. The common-mode output voltage, VCM, should be
used to properly bias the inputs as shown in Figures 34 through
36. An RF transformer will give the best noise and distortion
performance for wideband and/or high intermediate frequency
(IF) inputs. Two different transformer input schemes are shown in
Figures 34 and 35.
ADT1-1WT
The SHA design uses a switched capacitor input stage (see
Figure 48), which creates current spikes when the sampling
capacitance is reconnected to the input voltage. This causes a
disturbance at the input which must settle before the next
sampling point. Lower source impedance will result in faster
settling and improved performance. Therefore a 2:1 or 1:1
transformer and low shunt resistance are recommended for
optimal performance.

160MSPS to the maximum specified sample rate. The lane data
rate is related to the ADC core sample rate by a relationship that
is defined by the JESD204 transmitter configuration, and has
additional frequency constraints; see“JESD204A Transmitter” on
page 21 for additional details.
Jitter
The clock input circuit is a differential pair (see Figure 49).
Driving these inputs with a high level (up to 1.8VP-P on each
input) sine or square wave will provide the lowest jitter
performance. A transformer with 4:1 impedance ratio will
provide increased drive levels. The clock input is functional with
AC-coupled LVDS, LVPECL, and CML drive levels. To maintain the
lowest possible aperture jitter, it is recommended to have high
slew rate at the zero crossing of the differential clock input
signal.
The recommended drive circuit is shown in Figure 37. A duty
range of 40% to 60% is acceptable. The clock can be driven
single-ended, but this will reduce the edge rate and may impact
SNR performance. The clock inputs are internally self-biased to
AVDD/2 through a Thevenin equivalent of 10kΩ to facilitate AC
coupling.
In a sampled data system, clock jitter directly impacts the
achievable SNR performance. The theoretical relationship
between clock jitter (tJ) and SNR is shown in Equation 1 and is
illustrated in Figure 38.

A selectable 2x frequency divider is provided in series with the
clock input. The divider can be used in the 2x mode with a
sample clock equal to twice the desired sample rate. Use of the
2x frequency divider enables the use of the Phase Slip feature,
which enables the system to be able to select the phase of the
divide by 2 that causes the ADC to sample the analog input.

The clock divider can also be controlled through the SPI port,
which overrides the CLKDIV pin setting. See “SPI Physical
Interface” on page 26. A delay-locked loop (DLL) generates
internal clock signals for various stages within the charge
pipeline. If the frequency of the input clock changes, the DLL may
take up to 52μs to regain lock at 500MSPS. The lock time is
inversely proportional to the sample rate.
The DLL has two ranges of operation, slow and fast. The slow
range can be used for ADC sample rates between 80MSPS and
200MSPS, while the default fast range can be used from
18
This relationship shows the SNR that would be achieved if clock
jitter were the only non-ideal factor. In reality, achievable SNR is
limited by internal factors such as linearity, aperture jitter and
thermal noise as well. Internal aperture jitter is the uncertainty in
the sampling instant. The internal aperture jitter combines with
the input clock jitter in a root-sum-square fashion, since they are
not statistically correlated, and this determines the total jitter in
the system. The total jitter, combined with other noise sources,
then determines the achievable SNR.
Voltage Reference
A temperature compensated internal voltage reference provides
the reference charges used in the successive approximation
operations. The full-scale range of each ADC is proportional to
the reference voltage. The nominal value of the voltage reference
is 1.25V.
Digital Outputs
The digital outputs are in CML format, and feature analog and
digital characteristics compliant with the JESD204A standard
requirements.
Power Dissipation
The power dissipated by the device is dependent on the ADC
sample rate and the number of active lanes in the link. There is a
fixed bias current drawn from the analog supply for the ADC,
along with a fixed bias current drawn from the digital supply for
each active lane. The remaining power dissipation is linearly
related to the sample rate.

Nap/Sleep
Portions of the device may be shut down to save power during
times when operation of the ADC is not required. Two power saving
modes are available: Nap, and Sleep. Nap mode reduces power
dissipation significantly while taking a very short time to return to
functionality. Sleep mode reduces power consumption drastically
while taking longer to return to functionality.
In Nap mode the JESD204 lanes will continue to produce valid
encoded data, allowing the link to remain active and thus return to
a functional state quickly. The data transmitted over the lanes in
nap mode is the last valid ADC sample, repeated until leaving nap
mode. The 8b/10b encoder’s running disparity will prevent the
potentially long time repetition of this last valid sample from
creating DC bias on the lane. In sleep mode the JESD204 lanes will
be deactivated to conserve power. Thus, sometime after wake up
code group alignment will be required to reestablish the link.

I2E Requirements and
Restrictions
Overview
I2E is a blind and background capable algorithm, designed to
transparently eliminate interleaving artifacts. This circuitry
eliminates interleave artifacts due to offset, gain, and sample time
mismatches between unit A/Ds, and across supply voltage and
temperature variations in real-time.
Differences in the offset, gain, and sample times of time-interleaved
A/Ds create artifacts in the digital outputs. Each of these artifacts
creates a unique signature that may be detectable in the captured
samples. The I2E algorithm optimizes performance by detecting
error signatures and adjusting each unit A/D using minimal
additional power.
I2E calibration is off by default at power-up. The I2E algorithm can
be put in Active Run state via SPI. When the I2E algorithm is in
Active Run state, it detects and corrects for offset, gain, and sample
time mismatches in real time (see Track Mode description under
“Active Run State” on page 20). However, certain analog input
characteristics can obscure the estimation of these mismatches.
The I2E algorithm is capable of detecting these obscuring analog
input characteristics, and as long as they are present I2E will stop
updating the correction in real time. Effectively, this freezes the
current correction circuitry to the last known-good state (see Hold
Mode description under “Active Run State” on page 20). Once the
analog input signal stops obscuring the interleaved artifacts, the I2E
algorithm will automatically start correcting for mismatch in real
time again.
Active Run State
During the Active Run state the I2E algorithm actively suppresses
artifacts due to interleaving based on statistics in the digitized data.
I2E has two modes of operation in this state (described in the
following), dynamically chosen in real-time by the algorithm based
on the statistics of the analog input signal.
1. Track Mode refers to the default state of the algorithm, when
all artifacts due to interleaving are actively being eliminated.
To be in Track Mode the analog input signal to the device must
adhere to the following requirements:
• Possess total power greater than -20dBFS, integrated from
1MHz to Nyquist but excluding signal energy in a 100kHz band
centered at fS/4
The criteria above assumes 500MSPS operation; the frequency
bands should be scaled proportionally for lower sample rates.
Note that the effect of excluding energy in the 100kHz band
around of fS/4 exists in every Nyquist zone. This band generalizes
to the form (N*fS/4 - 50kHz) to (N*fS/4 + 50kHz), where N is any
odd integer. An input signal that violates these criteria briefly
(approximately 10µs), before and after which it meets this
criteria, will not impact system performance.
The algorithm must be in Track Mode for approximately one
second (defined in I2Epost_t specification) after power-up before
the specifications apply. Once this requirement has been met,
the specifications of the device will continue to be met while I2E
remains in Track Mode, even in the presence of temperature and
supply voltage changes.
20
2. Hold Mode refers to the state of the I2E algorithm when the
analog input signal does not meet the requirements specified
above. If the algorithm detects that the signal no longer
meets the criteria, it automatically enters Hold Mode. In Hold
Mode, the I2E circuitry freezes the adjustment values based
on the most recent set of valid input conditions. However, in
Hold Mode, the I2E circuitry will not correct for new changes
in interleave artifacts induced by supply voltage and
temperature changes. The I2E circuitry will remain in Hold
Mode until such time as the analog input signal meets the
requirements for Track Mode.
Power Meter
The power meter calculates the average power of the analog
input, and determines if it’s within range to allow operation in
Track Mode. Both AC RMS and total RMS power are calculated,
and there are separate SPI programmable thresholds and
hysteresis values for each.
FS/4 Filter
A digital filter removes the signal energy in a 100kHz band
around fS/4 before the I2E circuitry uses these samples for
estimating offset, gain, and sample time mismatches (data
samples produced by the A/D are unaffected by this filtering).
This allows the I2E algorithm to continue in Active Run state
while in the presence of a large amount of input energy near the
fS/4 frequency. This filter can be powered down if it’s known that
the signal characteristics won’t violate the restrictions. Powering
down the FS/4 filter will reduce power consumption by
approximately 30mW.
Nyquist Zones
The I2E circuitry allows the use of any one Nyquist zone without
configuration, but requires the use of only one Nyquist zone.
Inputs that switch dynamically between Nyquist zones will cause
poor performance for the I2E circuitry. For example, I2E will
function properly for a particular application that has fS =
500MSPS and uses the 1st Nyquist zone (0MHz to 250MHz). I2E
will also function properly for an application that uses
fS = 500MSPS and the 2nd Nyquist zone (250MHz to 500MHz).
I2E will not function properly for an application that uses
fS = 500MSPS, and input frequency bands from 150MHz to
210MHz and 250MHz to 290MHz simultaneously. There is no
need to configure the I2E algorithm to use a particular Nyquist
zone, but no dynamic switching between Nyquist zones is
permitted while I2E is running. If the analog input signal switches
between multiple Nyquist zones, it may be necessary to reset I2E by
turning if off and back on (via SPI register 0x31 bit 0) to properly
calibrate in the new Nyquist zone.
Configurability and Communication
I2E can respond to status queries, be turned on and turned off,
and generally configured via SPI programmable registers.
Configuring of I2E is generally unnecessary unless the
application cannot meet the requirements of Track Mode on or
after power up. Parameters that can be adjusted and read back
include FS/4 filter threshold and status, Power Meter threshold
and status, and initial values for the offset, gain, and sample
time values to use when I2E starts.

Clock Divider Synchronous Reset
The function of clock divider synchronous reset is available as a
SPI-programmable overloaded function on the SYNCP and
SYNCN pins. Given that the clock divider reset and SYNC features
have the same electrical and timing requirements, this
overloading allows the system to generate only a single well
timed signal with respect to the ADC sample clock and select the
ADC’s interpretation of the signal as a SPI-programmable option
(see SPI register 0x77 description for more information). By
default the SYNCP and SYNCN pins will function as the
JESD204A SYNC~.
The use of clock divider reset function is a requirement in a
system that uses the ISLA214S50, ISLA214S35, or CLKDIV = 2,
and also requires time alignment or deterministic latency of
multiple devices. Please contact the factory for more details
about this feature and its usage.
Soft Reset
Soft reset is a function intended to be used when the power on
reset is to be re-run. An application may decide to issue a soft
calibration command after significant temperature change or
after a change in the sample rate frequency to optimize
performance under the new condition.
Soft reset is issued by writing the Soft Reset bit at SPI address
0x00. Soft reset is a self-resetting bit in that will automatically
return to 0 once the power on calibration has completed.
JESD204A Transmitter
Overview
The conversion data is presented by a JESD204B-compliant
SERDES interface. The SERDES lane data rate supports typical
speeds up to 4.375Gbps, exceeding the 3.125Gbps maximum
specified by the JESD204 rev A standard. Two packing modes are
supported: Efficient and Simple. A SYNC input is included, which
is used for lane initialization as well as time alignment of
multiple converter devices. AC coupling of the SERDES lane(s) on
the board is required. A block diagram of this SERDES
transmitter is shown in Figure 41.
For more information about the standardized characteristics and
features of a JESD204 interface, please see JESD204 rev A and rev
B standards. For application design support, including evaluation kit
schematics and layout, reference FPGA project(s), and simulation
models for functionality and signal integrity, please contact the

ISLA214S50
To maximize flexibility at the system level, two transport layer
packing modes are supported: simple and efficient. These two
modes allow the system designer flexibility to trade off between
the number of lanes to support a given throughput, the data rate
of these lanes, and the complexity of the receiver. This translates
directly into providing system level trade-offs between cost,
power, and resource usage of the receiver and complexity of the
solution.
Simple mode packs informationless bits onto each ADC sample
to form full 16-bit data. In simple mode packing, the frame clock
and ADC sample clock are the same frequency, easing frequency
scaling requirements at the system level, but decreasing the
payload efficiency of the lanes. Decreased payload efficiency of
the lanes increases the lane data rate required to support a given
throughput, and may require additional lanes to support a given
configuration. The degree of payload efficiency loss is dependent
on the ADC resolution.
Efficient mode packs sequential ADC samples into a contiguous
block of an integer number of octets, and then slices the block
into the octets for transport. This mode always achieves the
theoretical maximum payload of the lanes (80%) regardless of
the resolution of the ADC and the number of lanes used. This
mode provides the minimum number of lanes at the minimum
data rate that is theoretically possible given the 8b/10b
encoding used in JESD204 systems. In efficient packing mode,
frame clock and the ADC sample clock have an M/N relationship,
where M and N are small integers and vary depending on the
ADC resolution and number of lanes selected. Efficient mode
packing may require additional frequency scaling elements
(internal FPGA PLLs or discrete frequency scaling devices) to
generate the frame clock for the receiving device.
The default configuration for this device is efficient packing
mode. Reconfiguration into the simple packing mode is
accomplished by programming the JESD204A parameters via
the SPI bus. See Table 5 for the full list of parameters values for
each mode and product. Via SPI, the JESD204 transmitter is
highly configurable, supporting efficient to simple mode packing
reconfiguration as well as “downgrading” a given product’s
JESD204A interface. For example, reconfiguring a 3-lane product
into 2 lanes (with each running faster than with 3 lanes), or
reducing the resolution of the ADC(s) to slow down the lane data
rate in systems where the full ADC resolution is not required, are
supported. Please contact the factory for a full list of
downgradeable configurations that are supported.
Signal integrity plots, including data eye, BER bathtub curves,
and edge histogram plots versus lane data rate can be found in
the typical operating curves section.
Initial Lane Alignment
The link initialization process is started by asserting the SYNC~
signal to the ADC device. This assertion causes the JESD204
transmitter to generate comma characters, which are used by
the receiver to accomplish code group synchronization (bit and
octet alignment, respectively). Once code group synchronization
is detected in the receiver, it de-asserts the SYNC~ signal,
causing the JESD204 transmitter to generate the initial lane
alignment sequence (ILA). The ILA is comprised of 4
multi-frames of data in a standard format, with the length of
22
each multi-frame determined by the K parameter as
programmed into the SPI JESD204A parameter table. The ILA
includes standard control character markers that can be used to
perform channel bonding in the receiving device if desired. The
2nd multi-frame includes the full JESD204A parameter data,
allowing the receiver to auto-detect the lane configuration if
desired.
After completion of the ILA the JESD204 transmitter begins
transmitting ADC sample data. Continuous link and lane
alignment monitoring is accomplished via an octet substitution
scheme. The last octet in each frame, if identical to the last octet
in the previous frame, is replaced with a specific control
character. If both sides of the link support lane synchronization,
the last octet in each multi-frame, if identical to the last octet in
the previous frame, is replaced with a different specific control
character. A more complete description of the link initialization
sequence, including finite state machine implementation, can be
found in the JESD204 rev A standard.
LANE DATA RATE
The lane data rate for this product family is constrained to be
greater than or equal to 1Gbps and less than or equal to
3.125Gbps for guaranteed operation, so as to be consistent with
the lane data rate limit of 3.125Gbps set by the JESD204 rev A
standard. The lane data rate can typically exceed 4.2Gbps for this
product family.
SCRAMBLER
The bypassable scrambler is compliant with the scrambler
defined in the JESD204 rev A standard.
This implementation seeds the scrambler with the initial lane
alignment sequence, such that the first two octets following the
sequence can be properly descrambled if the receiver also
passes the lane alignment sequence through its descrambler.
Even if the receiver does not implement this detail, the 3rd and
subsequent octets can be descrambled to yield ADC data due to
the self-synchronizing nature of the scrambler used.
MULTI-CHIP TIME ALIGNMENT
The JESD204 standard (in various revisions) provides the
capability to time align multiple JESD204 ADC devices to a single
logic device (FPGA or ASIC). This feature is critical in many
applications that cannot tolerate the variable latency of the
JESD204 link, and that must process pipeline depth correct data
from more than one ADC device.
Time alignment of multiple devices provides the capability to
align samples from multiple JESD204 ADC devices in the system
in a pipeline-depth correct manner, thus enabling the system to
analyze the ADC data from multiple devices while eliminating the
variable latency of the JESD204 link as a concern. This capability
enables configurations of JESD204 ADCs as IQ, interleave,
and/or simultaneously-sampled converters.
This ADC family uses the asserted to de-asserted SYNC~
transition as the absolute time event with which to generate a
known sequence of characters at the JESD204 transmitter of
equal pipeline depth between all ADC devices in the system to be
time aligned. This is consistent with the JESD204 rev B
subclass 2 device definition.

Test Patterns
sent out of the physical media. Test pattern generation is
controlled through SPI register 0xC0.
The complexity of the JESD204 interface merits much more test
pattern capability than less complex parallel interfaces. This
device family consequently supports a much wider range of test
patterns than previous ADC families.
Link layer PRBS patterns are standard PRBS patterns that can be
used with built-in standard PRBS checkers in, for example, FPGA
SERDES-capable pins.
Supported test patterns include both transport and link layer
patterns. Transport layer patterns are passed through the
transport layer of the JESD204 transmitter, following the same
sequence of being packed and sliced into octets as the ADC
sample data. Link layer test patterns bypass the transport layer
and are injected directly into the 8b/10b encoder, serialized, and
All transport layer test patterns re-initialize their phase when the
SYNC~ de-assertion occurs; consequently, a system that provides
a well-timed SYNC~ signal with respect to the ADC sample clock
can expect transport layer test patterns to have consistent phase
with respect to that de-assertion, which can be a significant aid
when debugging the system.

Serial Peripheral Interface
A serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus is used to facilitate
configuration of the device and to optimize performance. The SPI
bus consists of chip select (CSB), serial clock (SCLK) serial data
output (SDO), and serial data input/output (SDIO). The maximum
SCLK rate is equal to the ADC sample rate (fSAMPLE) divided by 14
for write operations and fSAMPLE divided by 32 for reads. There is
no minimum SCLK rate.
The following sections describe various registers that are used to
configure the SPI or adjust performance or functional parameters.
Many registers in the available address space (0x00 to 0xFF) are
not defined in this document. Additionally, within a defined
register there may be certain bits or bit combinations that are
reserved. Undefined registers and undefined values within defined
registers are reserved and should not be selected. Setting any
reserved register or value may produce indeterminate results.
SPI Physical Interface
The serial clock pin (SCLK) provides synchronization for the data
transfer. By default, all data is presented on the serial data
input/output (SDIO) pin in three-wire mode. The state of the SDIO
pin is set automatically in the communication protocol
(described in the following). A dedicated serial data output pin
(SDO) can be activated by setting 0x00[7] high to allow operation
in four-wire mode.
The SPI port operates in a half duplex master/slave
configuration, with the ADC functioning as a slave. Multiple slave
devices can interface to a single master in three-wire mode only,
since the SDO output of an unaddressed device is asserted in
four wire mode.
The chip-select bar (CSB) pin determines when a slave device is
being addressed. Multiple slave devices can be written to
26
concurrently, but only one slave device can be read from at a
given time (again, only in three-wire mode). If multiple slave
devices are selected for reading at the same time, the results will
be indeterminate.
The communication protocol begins with an instruction/address
phase. The first rising SCLK edge following a high-to-low
transition on CSB determines the beginning of the two-byte
instruction/address command; SCLK must be static low before
the CSB transition. Data can be presented in MSB-first order or
LSB-first order. The default is MSB-first, but this can be changed
by setting 0x00[6] high. Figures 42 and 43 show the appropriate
bit ordering for the MSB-first and LSB-first modes, respectively. In
MSB-first mode, the address is incremented for multi-byte
transfers, while in LSB-first mode it’s decremented.
In the default mode, the MSB is R/W, which determines if the
data is to be read (active high) or written. The next two bits, W1
and W0, determine the number of data bytes to be read or
written (see Table 6). The lower 13 bits contain the first address
for the data transfer. This relationship is illustrated in Figure 44,
and timing values are given in “Switching Specifications” on
page 9.
After the instruction/address bytes have been read, the
appropriate number of data bytes are written to or read from the
ADC (based on the R/W bit status). The data transfer will
continue as long as CSB remains low and SCLK is active. Stalling
of the CSB pin is allowed at any byte boundary
(instruction/address or data) if the number of bytes being
transferred is three or less. For transfers of four bytes or more,
CSB is allowed to stall in the middle of the instruction/address
bytes or before the first data byte. If CSB transitions to a high
state after that point the state machine will reset and terminate
the data transfer.

The default value of each register will be the result of the

If a series of sequential registers are to be set, burst mode can

address determines the end of the transfer. During a write
operation, the user must be cautious to transmit the correct
number of bytes based on the starting and ending addresses.
Bits 7:0 Burst End Address
This register value determines the ending address of the burst
data.
Gain of the ADC core can be adjusted in coarse, medium and fine
steps. Coarse gain is a 4-bit adjustment while medium and fine
are 8-bit. Multiple Coarse Gain Bits can be set for a total
adjustment range of ±4.2%. (‘0011’ ≅ -4.2% and ‘1100’ ≅ +4.2%)
It is recommended to use one of the coarse gain settings (-4.2%,
-2.8%, -1.4%, 0, 1.4%, 2.8%, 4.2%) and fine-tune the gain using the
registers at 0x0023 and 0x24.

a 4-bit adjustment while medium and fine are 8-bit. Multiple
Coarse Gain Bits can be set for a total adjustment range of ±4.2.
ADDRESS 0X30: I2E STATUS
The I2E general status register.
Bits 0 and 1 indicate if the I2E circuitry is in Active Run or Hold state.
The state of the I2E circuitry is dependent on the analog input signal
itself. If the input signal obscures the interleave mismatched
artifacts such that I2E cannot estimate the mismatch, the algorithm
will dynamically enter the Hold state. For example, a DC mid-scale
input to the A/D does not contain sufficient information to estimate
28
the gain and sample time skew mismatches, and thus the I2E
algorithm will enter the Hold state. In the Hold state, the analog
adjustments for interleave correction will be frozen and mismatch
estimate calculations will cease until such time as the analog input
achieves sufficient quality to allow the I2E algorithm to make
mismatch estimates again.
Bit 0: 0 = I2E has not detected a low power condition. 1 = I2E has
detected a low power condition, and the analog adjustments for
interleave correction are frozen.
Bit 1: 0 = I2E has not detected a low AC power condition. 1 = I2E has
detected a low AC power condition, and I2E will continue to correct
with best known information but will not update its interleave
correction adjustments until the input signal achieves sufficient AC
RMS power.
Bit 2: When first started, the I2E algorithm can take a significant
amount of time to settle (~1s), dependent on the characteristics of
the analog input signal. 0 = I2E is still settling, 1 = I2E has
completed settling.
ADDRESS 0X31: I2E CONTROL
The I2E general control register. This register can be written while
I2E is running to control various parameters.
Bit 0: 0 = turn I2E off, 1= turn I2E on
Bit 1: 0 = no action, 1 = freeze I2E, leaving all settings in the current
state. Subsequently writing a 0 to this bit will allow I2E to continue
from the state it was left in.
Bit 2-4: Disable any of the interleave adjustments of offset, gain, or
sample time skew
Bit 5: 0 = bypass notch filter, 1 = use notch filter on incoming data
before estimating interleave mismatch terms
ADDRESS 0X32: I2E STATIC CONTROL
The I2E general static control register. This register must be written
prior to turning I2E on for the settings to take effect.
Bit 1-4: Reserved, always set to 0
Bit 5: 0 = normal operation, 1 = skip coarse adjustment of the
offset, gain, and sample time skew analog controls when I2E is first
turned on. This bit would typically be used if optimal analog
adjustment values for offset, gain, and sample time skew have been
preloaded in order to have the I2E algorithm converge more quickly.
The system gain of the pair of interleaved core A/Ds can be set by
programming the medium and fine gain of the reference A/D before
turning I2E on. In this case, I2E will adjust the non-reference A/D’s
gain to match the reference A/D’s gain.
Bit 7: Reserved, always set to 0
ADDRESS 0X4A: I2E POWER DOWN
This register provides the capability to completely power down the
I2E algorithm and the Notch filter. This would typically be done to
conserve power.

ISLA214S50
ADDRESS 0X50-0X55: I2E FREEZE THRESHOLDS
0x52 RMS Power Hysteresis
This group of registers provides programming access to configure
I2E’s dynamic freeze control. As with any interleave mismatch
correction algorithm making estimates of the interleave mismatch
errors using the digitized application input signal, there are certain
characteristics of the input signal that can obscure the mismatch
estimates. For example, a DC input to the A/D contains no
information about the sample time skew mismatch between the
core A/Ds, and thus should not be used by the I2E algorithm to
update its sample time skew estimate. Under such circumstances,
I2E enters Hold state. In the Hold state, the analog adjustments will
be frozen and mismatch estimate calculations will cease until such
time as the analog input achieves sufficient quality to allow the I2E
algorithm to make mismatch estimates again.
In order to prevent I2E from constantly oscillating between the
Hold and Track state, there is hysteresis in the comparison
described above. After I2E enters a frozen state, the RMS input
power must achieve ³ threshold value + hysteresis to again enter
the Track state. The hysteresis quantity is a 24-bit value,
constructed with bits 23 through 12 (MSBs) being assigned to 0,
bits 11 through 4 assigned to this register’s value, and bits 3
through 0 (LSBs) assigned to 0.
These registers allow the programming of the thresholds of the
meters used to determine the quality of the input signal. This can be
used by the application to optimize I2E’s behavior based on
knowledge of the input signal. For example, if a specific application
had an input signal that was typically 30dB down from full scale,
and was primarily concerned about analog performance of the A/D
at this input power, lowering the RMS power threshold would allow
I2E to continue tracking with this input power level, thus allowing it
to track over voltage and temperature changes.
0x50 (LSBs), 0x51 (MSBs) RMS Power Threshold
This 16-bit quantity is the RMS power threshold at which I2E will
enter Hold state. The RMS power of the analog input is calculated
continuously by I2E on incoming data.
Only the upper 12 bits of the ADC sample outputs are used in the
averaging process for comparison to the power threshold registers.
A 12-bit number squared produces a 24-bit result (for A/D
resolutions under 12-bits, the A/D samples are MSB-aligned to
12-bit data). A dynamic number of these 24-bit results are averaged
to compare with this threshold approximately every 1µs to decide
whether or not to freeze I2E. The 24-bit threshold is constructed with
bits 23 through 20 (MSBs) assigned to 0, bits 19 through 4 assigned
to this 16-bit quantity, and bits 3 through 0 (LSBs) assigned to 0. As
an example, if the application wanted to set this threshold to trigger
near the RMS analog input of a -20dBFS sinusoidal input, the
calculation to determine this register’s value would be as shown by
Equations 2 and 3:
2
RMS codes = ------- × 10

⎛ –--------⎝ 20 ⎠

(EQ. 2)
2
hex ( ( ( 290 ) ) ) = 0x14884 TruncateMSBandLSBhexdigit = 0x1488
(EQ. 3)
Therefore, programming 0x1488 into these two registers will cause
I2E to freeze when the signal being digitized has less RMS power
than a -20dBFS sinusoid.
The default value of this register is 0x1000, causing I2E to freeze
when the input amplitude is less than -21.2 dBFS.
The freezing of I2E by the RMS power meter threshold affects the
gain and sample time skew interleave mismatch estimates, but not
the offset mismatch estimate.
29
0X53(LSBS), 0X54(MSBS) AC RMS POWER
THRESHOLD
Similar to RMS power threshold, there must be sufficient AC RMS
power (or dV/dt) of the input signal to measure sample time skew
mismatch for an arbitrary input. This is clear from observing the
effect when a high voltage (and therefore large RMS value) DC input
is applied to the A/D input. Without sufficient dV/dt in the input
signal, no information about the sample time skew between the
core A/Ds can be determined from the digitized samples. The AC
RMS Power Meter is implemented as a high-passed (via DSP) RMS
power meter.
The required algorithm is documented as follows.
1. Write the MSBs of the 16-bit quantity to SPI Address 0x54
2. Write the LSBs of the 16-bit quantity to SPI Address 0x53
Only the upper 12 bits of the ADC sample outputs are used in the
averaging process for comparison to the power threshold registers.
A 12-bit number squared produces a 24-bit result (for A/D
resolutions under 12-bits, the A/D samples are MSB-aligned to
12-bit data). A dynamic number of these 24-bit results are averaged
to compare with this threshold approximately every 1µs to decide
whether or not to freeze I2E. The 24-bit threshold is constructed with
bits 23 through 20 (MSBs) assigned to 0, bits 19 through 4 assigned
to this 16-bit quantity, and bits 3 through 0 (LSBs) assigned to 0. The
calculation methodology to set this register is identical to the
description in the RMS power threshold description.
The freezing of I2E when the AC RMS power meter threshold is not
met affects the sample time skew interleave mismatch estimate,
but not the offset or gain mismatch estimates.
0x55 AC RMS Power Hysteresis
In order to prevent I2E from constantly oscillating between the
Hold and Track state, there is hysteresis in the comparison
described above. After I2E enters a frozen state, the AC RMS
input power must achieve ³ threshold value + hysteresis to again
enter the Track state. The hysteresis quantity is a 24-bit value,
constructed with bits 23 through 12 (MSBs) being assigned to 0,
bits 11 through 4 assigned to this register’s value, and bits 3
through 0 (LSBs) assigned to 0.
Address 0x60-0x64: I2E initialization
These registers provide access to the initialization values for each of
offset, gain, and sample time skew that I2E programs into the target
core A/D before adjusting to minimize interleave mismatch. They
can be used by the system to, for example, reduce the convergence
time of the I2E algorithm by programming in the optimal values
before turning I2E on. In this case, I2E only needs to adjust for
temperature and voltage-induced changes since the optimal values
were recorded.

ADDRESS 0X71: PHASE_SLIP
When using the clock_divide feature, the sample clock edge that the
ADC uses to sample the analog input signal can be one of several
different edges on the incoming higher frequency sample clock. For
example, in clock_divide = 2 mode, every other incoming sample clock
edge gets used by the ADC to sample the analog input. The phase_slip
feature allows the system to control which edge of the incoming sample
clock signals gets used to cause the sampling event, by “slipping” the
sampling event by one input clock period each time phase_slip is
asserted.
The clkdivrst feature can work in conjunction with phase_slip.
After well-timed assertion of the clkdivrst signal (via overloading
on the SYNC inputs), the sampling edge position with respect to
the incoming clock rate will have been reset, allowing the system
to “slip” whatever desired number of incoming clock periods
from a known state.
ADDRESS 0X72: CLOCK_DIVIDE
The ADC has a selectable clock divider that can be set to divide

Setting this bit equal to ‘1’ modifies the functionality of the
SYNCP, SYNCN pins to be clkdivrst, which is a synchronous
divider reset on all internal dividers in the device. Usage of this
clkdivrst functionality is required to support multi-chip time
alignment and deterministic latency for devices that use
interleaved product configurations (ISLA214S50 and

INTERFACE
This set of registers controls the JESD204 transmitter
configuration. By programming these parameters, the system
can select between efficient and simple packing, select the
number of powered up SERDES lanes, choose the ADC resolution
transmitted, and so on. The JESD204A parameters for standard
dual channel products are shown in Table 4. This is a small
subset of the total number of configurations supported; contact
the factory for details.
These registers define the lower and upper eight bits,
respectively, of the user-defined pattern 3.
0xE0 through 0xED are the JESD204A parameter registers.
These parameters are written to set the transport layer mapping
of the JESD204 transmitter in this product family. These registers
can be written to shift between efficient and simple packing, to
enable or bypass scrambling, and to reduce the number of
powered up lanes used in the link. Each speed graded product
allows downgrading of the JESD204A link (such as reducing the
number of lanes, reducing the converter resolution, etc), but not
upgrading. These parameters are communicated on every lane
of the link during the 2nd multi-frame of the initial lane
alignment sequence, and therefore can be used by a generic
JESD204A receiver that supports the given configuration. See the
JESD204A specification for additional information on how these
registers are used in a JESD204A system, including encoding
rules.

dynamic behavior (such as modifying the PLL’s frequency
multiplication). The bit will automatically reset to a ‘0’ once a ‘1’
is written to address 0xEE Bit[0] “update_config W1TC”. The

ISLA214S50
ADDRESS 0XE3: JESD204_CONFIG_3
ADDRESS 0XEF: JESD204_PLL_MONITOR_RESET
Bit 7 “SCR”, JESD204A SCR controls if scrambling across the
SERDES lane(s) is enabled (‘1’ means enabled).
Bit 0 “pll_lock_mon_rst”, This self resetting register resets the
state of the 0xF0 Bit[0] “latched_pll_lockn” bit. The purpose of
this pair of bits is as a debugging feature to the system designer.
The “latched_pll_lockn” bit indicates if the JESD204A transmitter
PLL inside the device has at any time lost lock since the last ‘1’
was written to the “pll_lock_mon_rst” bit. This can be used to
help identify the source of intermittent link lost errors in the
system.
Bits 4:0“L”, JESD204A L is the number of SERDES lanes in the
link.
ADDRESS 0XE4: JESD204_CONFIG_4
Bits 7:0 “F”, JESD204A Number of octets per frame period.
ADDRESS 0XE5: JESD204_CONFIG_5
Bits 4:0 “K” JESD204A Number of frame periods per multi-frame
period. This product family supports the full programmable range
of K (decimal 0 through 31), although note that the JESD204A
standard dictates a minimum number for this parameter that is
configuration dependent.
ADDRESS 0XE6: JESD204_CONFIG_6
Bits 7:0 “M” JESD204A Number of converters per device.
ADDRESS 0XF0: JESD204_STATUS
Bit 2 “op_cfg_wrong” indicates if the JESD204A parameters
(registers 0xE0 through 0xED) are supported by the JESD204A
transmitter (a ‘1’ indicates they are not supported, a ‘0’ indicates
they are supported).
Bit 1“pll_lockn” indicates if the JESD204A transmitter PLL is
currently locked (a ‘1’ indicates it is not locked, a ‘0’ indicates it
is locked).
Bits 7:6 “CS”, JESD204A CS is the number of control bits per
sample (Always ‘0’ for this product family).
Bit 0 “latched_pll_lockn” indicates if the JESD204A transmitter
PLL has lost lock since the last assertion of the
“pll_lock_mon_rst” (see register 0xEF description for more
information).
Bits 4:0 “N”, JESD204A N is the converter resolution.
ADDRESS 0XF1: JESD204_SYNC
ADDRESS 0XE8: JESD204_CONFIG_8
Bit 0 “sync_req” this register provides a SPI-programmable
interface that can be used to assert and de-assert the JESD204A
SYNC~ functionality. Certain systems may benefit from the
elimination of SYNC~ as a separate board-level LVDS signal (and
the power, PCB space, and pins it consumes), and these systems
can use this register to functionally assert and de-assert SYNC~.
For this bit to have any effect, a ‘1’ must have previously been
written to the SYNC_FUNCTION (Address 0x77, bit 0).
ADDRESS 0XE7: JESD204_CONFIG_7
Bits 4:0 “N’”, JESD204A N’ is the total number of bits per sample.
ADDRESS 0XE9: JESD204_CONFIG_9
Bits 4:0 “S”, JESD204A Number of samples per converter per
frame cycle.
ADDRESS 0XEA: JESD204_CONFIG_10
Bit 7 “HD”, JESD204A HD indicates if a converter’s sample can
be split across multiple lanes in the link (always ‘0’ for this
product family).
Bits 4:0 “CF”, JESD204A CF is the number of control fames per
frame clock (always ‘0’ for this product family).
ADDRESS 0XEB: JESD204_CONFIG_11
Bits 7:0 “RES1”, JESD204A reserved for future use.
ADDRESS 0XEC: JESD204_CONFIG_12
Bits 7:0 “RES2”, JESD204A reserved for future use.
ADDRESS 0XED: JESD204_CONFIG_13
Bits 7:0 “FCHK” JESD204A checksum (unsigned sum MOD 256)
of all the other JESD204A parameter register values. This is a
read-only register, as the checksum is calculated by the device.
ADDRESS 0XEE:
JESD204_UPDATE_CONFIG_COMPLETE
Bit 0 update_complete
This self-resetting bit is used to indicate that all the modifications
to the JESD204 parameters are complete.
32
A ‘1’ written to this bit will result in behavior identical to the
assertion of SYNC~ (comma character generation), and ‘0’ will
result in the behavior identical to the de-assertion of SYNC~
(initial lane alignment sequence followed by converter data).
Usage of this SPI SYNC~ capability may compromise the
system’s ability to perform multi-chip time alignment, as the
SYNC~ asserted to de-asserted transition using this register is
not well timed with respect to sample clock.
ADDRESS 0XF2: JESD204_TRANS_PAT_CONFIG
Bit 0 “no_mf_lane_sync”, By default, this device family assumes
that both sides of the link support lane synchronization. As per
the JESD204 rev A standard, in this case continuous frame
alignment monitoring via character substitution (section 5.3.3.4)
is modified such that a different control character is substituted
when the octet reoccurrence happens at the end of a
multi-frame. This behavior occurs when bit 0 is ‘0’ (the power on
default). Writing a ‘1’ to bit 0 will inform the JESD204 transmitter
than the receiving device does not support lane synchronization,
and therefore the transmitter will no longer substitute this
different control character when reoccurrence of octets occurs at
the end of a multi-frame.
Bit 1 “trans_pat_max_len” There is some ambiguity of the proper
length of the JESD204 rev A section 5.1.6.2 required transport
layer test pattern. Specifically, that the description perhaps
should have “max()” in place of “min()” for the equation defining
FN7973.1
December 21, 2011
ISLA214S50
the length of the pattern. Setting bit 1 in this register to a ‘0’ (also
the power-on default) and issuing this test pattern by writing to
0xC0 will cause the pattern to assume a “min()” interpretation of
the pattern described in section 5.1.6.2. Setting the bit to a ‘1’
will assume a “max()” interpretation of the described pattern.
ADDRESS 0XF3: JESD204_CML_POLARITY
lane basis. For example, writing a ‘1’ to Bit[0] causes LANE0N to
functionally become LANE0P and LANE0P to become LANE0N.
This feature allows the system designer to avoid having to
crossover P and N sides of the CML pair on the board to match
pin out and layout of the transmitter and receiver. Typically, a
trace crossover would require vias, which can degrade the signal
integrity of the high-speed SERDES lanes.
0xF3 Bit[2:0]: “TX polarity flip lane x” This register allows the
system designer to invert the sense of the SERDES pins on a per

ADC Evaluation Platform
CML Outputs
Intersil offers ADC Evaluation platforms which can be used to
evaluate any of Intersil’s high speed ADC products. Each platform
consists of a FPGA based data capture motherboard and a family
of ADC daughtercards. The USB interface and evaluation
platform control software allow a user to quickly evaluate the
ADC’s performance at a user’s specific application frequency
requirements. More information is available at
http://www.intersil.com/converters/adc_eval_platform/
Output traces and connections must be designed for 50Ω (100Ω
differential) characteristic impedance. Keep traces direct and
short, and minimize bends and vias where possible. Avoid
crossing ground and power-plane breaks with signal traces. Keep
good clearance (at least 5 trace widths) between the SERDES
traces and other signals. Given the speed of these outputs and
importance of maintaining an open eye to achieve low BER,
signal integrity simulations are recommended, especially when
the data lane rate exceeds 3Gbps and/or the trace or cable
length between the ADC and the reciever gets larger than 20cm.
Layout Considerations
Split Ground and Power Planes
Unused Inputs
Data converters operating at high sampling frequencies require
extra care in PC board layout. Many complex board designs
benefit from isolating the analog and digital sections. Analog
supply and ground planes should be laid out under signal and
clock inputs. Locate the digital planes under outputs and logic
pins. Grounds should be joined under the chip.
Standard logic inputs (RESETN, CSB, SCLK, SDIO, SDO) which will
not be operated do not require connection to ensure optimal ADC
performance. These inputs can be left floating if they are not
used. Tri-level inputs (NAPSLP) accept a floating input as a valid
state, and therefore should be biased according to the desired
functionality.
Clock Input Considerations
Definitions
Use matched transmission lines to the transformer inputs for the
analog input and clock signals. Locate transformers and
terminations as close to the chip as possible.
Exposed Paddle
Analog Input Bandwidth is the analog input frequency at which
the spectral output power at the fundamental frequency (as
determined by FFT analysis) is reduced by 3dB from its full-scale
low-frequency value. This is also referred to as Full Power
Bandwidth.
The exposed paddle must be electrically connected to analog
ground (AVSS) and should be connected to a large copper plane
using numerous vias for optimal thermal performance.
Aperture Delay or Sampling Delay is the time required after the
rise of the clock input for the sampling switch to open, at which
time the signal is held for conversion.
Bypass and Filtering
Aperture Jitter is the RMS variation in aperture delay for a set of
samples.
Bulk capacitors should have low equivalent series resistance.
Tantalum is a good choice. For best performance, keep ceramic
bypass capacitors very close to device pins, as longer traces
between the ceramic bypass capacitors and the device pins will
increase inductance, which can result in diminished dynamic
performance. Best practices bypassing is especially important on
the AVDD and OVDD(PLL) power supply pins. Whenever possible,
each supply pin should have its own 0.1uF bypass capacitor.
Make sure that connections to ground are direct and low
impedance. Avoid forming ground loops.
Clock Duty Cycle is the ratio of the time the clock wave is at logic
high to the total time of one clock period.
Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) is the deviation of any code width
from an ideal 1 LSB step.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) is an alternate method of
specifying Signal to Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD). In dB, it
is calculated as: ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76)/6.02
Gain Error is the ratio of the difference between the voltages that
cause the lowest and highest code transitions to the full-scale
voltage less than 2 LSB. It is typically expressed in percent.
I2E The Intersil Interleave Engine. This highly configurable
circuitry performs estimates of offset, gain, and sample time
skew mismatches between the core converters, and updates
analog adjustments for each to minimize interleave spurs.
Integral Non-Linearity (INL) is the maximum deviation of the
ADC’s transfer function from a best fit line determined by a least
squares curve fit of that transfer function, measured in units of
LSBs.
Least Significant Bit (LSB) is the bit that has the smallest value or
weight in a digital word. Its value in terms of input voltage is
VFS/(2N - 1) where N is the resolution in bits.

Missing Codes are output codes that are skipped and will never
appear at the ADC output. These codes cannot be reached with
any input value.
Most Significant Bit (MSB) is the bit that has the largest value or
weight.
Pipeline Delay is the number of clock cycles between the
initiation of a conversion and the appearance at the output pins
of the data.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is the ratio of the observed
magnitude of a spur in the ADC FFT, caused by an AC signal
superimposed on the power supply voltage.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (without Harmonics) is the ratio of the RMS
signal amplitude to the RMS sum of all other spectral
components below one-half the sampling frequency, excluding
harmonics and DC.
SNR and SINAD are either given in units of dB when the power of
the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB to full
scale) when the converter’s full-scale input power is used as the
reference.
Spurious-Free-Dynamic Range (SFDR) is the ratio of the RMS
signal amplitude to the RMS value of the largest spurious
spectral component. The largest spurious spectral component
may or may not be a harmonic.
Signal to Noise-and-Distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the RMS
signal amplitude to the RMS sum of all other spectral
components below one half the clock frequency, including
harmonics but excluding DC.
