GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9257 is an octal, 14-bit, 40 MSPS and 65 MSPS analogto-digital converter (ADC) with an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use. The product operates at a conversion rate of up to 65 MSPS and is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance and low power in applications where a small package size is critical. The ADC requires a single 1.8 V power supply and LVPECL-/ CMOS-/LVDS-compatible sample rate clock for full performance operation. No external reference or driver components are required for many applications. The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock output (DCO) for capturing data on the output and a frame clock output (FCO) for signaling a new output byte are provided. Individual channel power-down is supported and typically consumes less than 2 mW when all channels are disabled. The ADC contains several features designed to maximize flexibility and minimize system cost, such as programmable clock and data Rev. A alignment and programmable digital test pattern generation. The available digital test patterns include built-in deterministic and pseudorandom patterns, along with custom user-defined test patterns entered via the serial port interface (SPI). The AD9257 is available in an RoHS-compliant, 64-lead LFCSP. It is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This product is protected by a U.S. patent. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Small Footprint. Eight ADCs are contained in a small, space-saving package. Low Power of 55 mW/Channel at 65 MSPS with Scalable Power Options. Ease of Use. A data clock output (DCO) is provided that operates at frequencies of up to 455 MHz and supports double data rate (DDR) operation. User Flexibility. The SPI control offers a wide range of flexible features to meet specific system requirements. Pin Compatible with the AD9637 (12-Bit Octal ADC).

A | Page 17 of 40 AD9257 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION The AD9257 is a multistage, pipelined ADC. Each stage provides sufficient overlap to correct for flash errors in the preceding stage. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into a final 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The serializer transmits this converted data in a 14-bit output. The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to operate with a new input sample while the remaining stages operate with preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock. Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low resolution flash ADC connected to a switched-capacitor DAC and an interstage residue amplifier (for example, a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC)). The residue amplifier magnifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output and the flash input for the next stage in the pipeline. One bit of redundancy is used in each stage to facilitate digital correction of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a flash ADC. The output staging block aligns the data, corrects errors, and passes the data to the output buffers. The data is then serialized and aligned to the frame and data clocks. ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS The analog input to the AD9257 is a differential switchedcapacitor circuit designed for processing differential input signals. This circuit can support a wide common-mode range while maintaining excellent performance. By using an input common-mode voltage of midsupply, users can minimize signal-dependent errors and achieve optimum performance. the output stage of the driving source. In addition, low Q inductors or ferrite beads can be placed on each leg of the input to reduce high differential capacitance at the analog inputs and, therefore, achieve the maximum bandwidth of the ADC. Such use of low Q inductors or ferrite beads is required when driving the converter front end at high IF frequencies. Either a differential capacitor or two single-ended capacitors can be placed on the inputs to provide a matching passive network. This ultimately creates a low-pass filter at the input to limit unwanted broadband noise. See the AN-742 Application Note, the AN-827 Application Note, and the Analog Dialogue article “Transformer-Coupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters” (Volume 39, April 2005) for more information. In general, the precise values depend on the application. Input Common Mode The analog inputs of the AD9257 are not internally dc-biased. Therefore, in ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias externally. Setting the device so that VCM = AVDD/2 is recommended for optimum performance, but the device can function over a wider range with reasonable performance, as shown in Figure 44. An on-board, common-mode voltage reference is included in the design and is available from the VCM pin. The VCM pin must be decoupled to ground by a 0.1 µF capacitor, as described in the Applications Information section. Maximum SNR performance is achieved by setting the ADC to the largest span in a differential configuration. In the case of the AD9257, the largest input span available is 2 V p-p. 100 SFDR H 90 CPAR 80 SNR/SFDR (dBFS/dBc) H CSAMPLE S S S S CSAMPLE VIN– x H H 70 60 50 40 10206-042 CPAR SNRFS 30 Figure 43. Switched-Capacitor Input Circuit The clock signal alternately switches the input circuit between sample mode and hold mode (see Figure 43). When the input circuit is switched to sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging the sample capacitors and settling within one-half of a clock cycle. A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the peak transient current injected from Rev. A | Page 18 of 40 20 0.5 0.7 0.9 1.1 VCM (V) Figure 44.

However, optimum performance is achieved by driving the analog input differentially. Using a differential double balun configuration to drive the AD9257 provides excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC (see Figure 46) for baseband applications. A comparator within the AD9257 detects the potential at the SENSE pin and configures the reference into two possible modes, which are summarized in Table 9. If SENSE is grounded, the reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal resistor divider (see Figure 45), setting VREF to 1.0 V. Table 9. Reference Configuration Summary For applications where SNR is a key parameter, differential transformer coupling is the recommended input configuration (see Figure 47), because the noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the true performance of the AD9257.

Figure 48 shows how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading. 0 –0.5 INTERNAL VREF = 1V VREF ERROR (%) The AD9257 has a very flexible clock input structure. The clock input can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or sine wave signal. Regardless of the type of signal being used, clock source jitter is of the utmost concern, as described in the Jitter Considerations section. –2.0 –2.5 –3.0 –3.5 –4.0 –5.0 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 10206-047 –4.5 Figure 48. VREF Error vs. Load Current External Reference Operation The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance the gain accuracy of the ADC or improve thermal drift characteristics. Figure 49 shows the typical drift characteristics of the internal reference in 1.0 V mode. Figure 50 and Figure 51 show two preferred methods for clocking the AD9257 (at clock rates of up to 520 MHz prior to the internal CLK divider). A low jitter clock source is converted from a single-ended signal to a differential signal using either an RF transformer or an RF balun. The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock frequencies between 65 MHz and 520 MHz, and the RF transformer is recommended for clock frequencies from 10 MHz to 200 MHz. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer/balun secondary winding limit clock excursions into the AD9257 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 AD9257 while preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal that are critical to a low jitter performance. However, the diode capacitance comes into play at frequencies above 500 MHz. Care must be taken in choosing the appropriate signal limiting diode. 4 2 VREF ERROR (mV) For optimum performance, clock the AD9257 sample clock inputs, CLK+ and CLK−, with a differential signal. The signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally (see Figure 36) and require no external bias.

An internal reference buffer loads the external reference with an equivalent 7.5 kΩ load (see Figure 42). The internal buffer generates the positive and negative full-scale references for the ADC core. Therefore, the external reference must be limited to a maximum of 1.0 V.

A | Page 20 of 40 10206-050 –15 10206-048 –8 –40 Data Sheet AD9257 This synchronization feature allows multiple parts to have their clock dividers aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling. If a low jitter clock source is not available, another option is to ac couple a differential PECL signal to the sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 52. The AD9510/AD9511/AD9512/ AD9513/AD9514/AD9515/AD9516/AD9517 clock drivers offer excellent jitter performance. Clock Duty Cycle 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. A third option is to ac couple a differential LVDS signal to the sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 53. The AD9510/ AD9511/AD9512/AD9513/AD9514/AD9515/AD9516/AD9517 clock drivers offer excellent jitter performance. The AD9257 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (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 AD9257. Noise and distortion performance are nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles with the DCS on. In some applications, it may be acceptable to drive the sample clock inputs with a single-ended 1.8 V CMOS signal. In such applications, drive the CLK+ pin directly from a CMOS gate, and bypass the CLK− pin to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor (see Figure 54). Jitter in the rising edge of the input is still of concern and is not easily reduced by the internal stabilization circuit. The duty cycle control loop does not function for clock rates less than 20 MHz, nominally. The loop has a time constant associated with it that must be considered in applications in which the clock rate can change dynamically. A wait time of 1.5 µs to 5 µs is required after a dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease before the DCS loop is relocked to the input signal. Input Clock Divider The AD9257 contains an input clock divider with the ability to divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. The AD9257 clock divider can be synchronized using the external SYNC input. Bit 0 and Bit 1 of Register 0x109 allow the clock divider to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal or only on the first SYNC signal after the register is written. A valid SYNC causes the clock divider to reset to its initial state. 0.1µF 0.1µF CLOCK INPUT CLK+ AD951x PECL DRIVER 0.1µF 100Ω ADC 0.1µF CLK– 50kΩ 240Ω 50kΩ 10206-051 CLOCK INPUT 240Ω Figure 52.

A | Page 21 of 40 10206-053 CLOCK INPUT AD9257 Data Sheet Jitter Considerations POWER DISSIPATION AND POWER-DOWN MODE High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input frequency (fA) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be calculated by As shown in Figure 56, the power dissipated by the AD9257 is proportional to its sample rate. The digital power dissipation does not vary significantly because it is determined primarily by the DRVDD supply and bias current of the LVDS output drivers. 400 The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9257. Power supplies for clock drivers should be separated from the ADC output driver supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal-controlled oscillators make the best clock sources. If the clock is generated from another type of source (by gating, dividing, or other methods), it should be retimed by the original clock at the last step. Refer to the AN-501 Application Note and the AN-756 Application Note for more in-depth information about jitter performance as it relates to ADCs. 130 RMS CLOCK JITTER REQUIREMENT 90 14 BITS 80 12 BITS 70 10 BITS 60 8 BITS 50 40 0.125ps 0.25ps 0.5ps 1.0ps 2.0ps 30 1 10 100 ANALOG INPUT FREQUENCY (MHz) Figure 55.

Analog Core Power vs. fSAMPLE for fIN = 9.7 MHz The AD9257 is placed in power-down mode either by the SPI port or by asserting the PDWN pin high. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates 1 mW. During power-down, the output drivers are placed in a high impedance state. Asserting the PDWN pin low returns the AD9257 to its normal operating mode. Note that PDWN is referenced to the digital output driver supply (DRVDD) and should not exceed that supply voltage. 120 100 350 10206-055 In this equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root mean square of all jitter sources, including the clock input, analog input signal, and ADC aperture jitter specifications. IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter (see Figure 55). ANALOG CORE POWER (mW) 1 SNR Degradation = 20 log10 2π × f × t J A 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. See the Memory Map section for more details on using these features. Rev. A | Page 22 of 40 Data Sheet AD9257 DIGITAL OUTPUTS AND TIMING The AD9257 LVDS outputs facilitate interfacing with LVDS receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs for superior switching performance in noisy environments. Single point-to-point net topologies are recommended with a 100 Ω termination resistor placed as close to the receiver as possible. If there is no far-end receiver termination or 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 24 inches and the differential output traces be close together and at equal lengths. An example of the FCO and data stream with proper trace length and position is shown in Figure 57. An example of LVDS output timing in reduced range mode is shown in Figure 58. FCO 500mV/DIV DCO 500mV/DIV DATA 500mV/DIV 5ns/DIV Figure 57. LVDS Output Timing Example in ANSI-644 Mode (Default) FCO 500mV/DIV DCO 500mV/DIV DATA 500mV/DIV 5ns/DIV 10206-057 When operating in reduced range mode, the output current is reduced to 2 mA. This results in a 200 mV swing (or 400 mV p-p differential) across a 100 Ω termination at the receiver. 10206-056 The AD9257 differential outputs conform to the ANSI-644 LVDS standard on default power-up. This can be changed to a low power, reduced signal option (similar to the IEEE 1596.3 standard) via the SPI. The LVDS driver current is derived on chip and sets the output current at each output equal to a nominal 3.5 mA. A 100 Ω differential termination resistor placed at the LVDS receiver inputs results in a nominal 350 mV swing (or 700 mV p-p differential) at the receiver. Figure 58.

Even though this option produces sharper rise and fall times on the data edges and is less prone to bit errors, it also increases the power dissipation of the DRVDD supply. 400 EYE: ALL BITS 300 ULS: 7000:400354 EYE: ALL BITS ULS: 7000/18200 EYE DIAGRAM VOLTAGE (mV) EYE DIAGRAM VOLTAGE (mV) 300 200 100 0 –100 –200 200 100 0 –100 –200 –300 –300 1.0ns 0.8ns 0.4ns 40ps 0.6ns 0.2ns 20ps 0ns –0.2ns –0.4ns –0.6ns –0.8ns –1.0ns 1.0ns 0.8ns 0.6ns 0.4ns 0.2ns 0ns –0.2ns –0.4ns –0.6ns –0.8ns –1.0ns –400 2.5k 10206-059 80ps 60ps 0ps –20ps 0.5k 0 10206-058 80ps 60ps 40ps 20ps 0ps –20ps 0 –40ps 0.5k 1.0k –40ps 1.0k 1.5k –60ps 1.5k 2.0k –80ps TIE JITTER HISTOGRAM (Hits) 2.0k –60ps TIE JITTER HISTOGRAM (Hits) 2.5k Figure 59.

Table 10 shows an example of the output coding format. To change the output data format to offset binary, see the Memory Map section. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the waveforms meet the timing budget of the design when the trace lengths exceed 24 inches. Additional SPI options allow the user to further increase the internal termination (increasing the current) of all eight outputs Data from each ADC is serialized and provided on a separate channel in DDR mode. The data rate for each serial stream is equal to 14 bits times the sample clock rate, with a maximum of 910 Mbps (14 bits × 65 MSPS) = 910 Mbps. The lowest typical conversion rate is 10 MSPS. See the Memory Map section for details on enabling this feature. Table 10.

The DCO is used to clock the output data and is equal to 7× the sample clock (CLK) rate for the default mode of operation. Data is clocked out of the AD9257 and must be captured on the rising and falling edges of the DCO that supports double data rate (DDR) capturing. The FCO is used to signal the start of a new output byte and is equal to the sample clock rate (see the Timing Diagrams section). When the SPI is used, the DCO phase can be adjusted in 60° increments relative to the data edge. This enables the user to refine system timing margins if required. The default DCO+ and DCO− timing, as shown in Figure 2, is 180° relative to the output data edge. A 12-bit serial stream can also be initiated from the SPI. This allows the user to implement and test compatibility to lower resolution systems. When changing the resolution to a 12-bit serial stream, the data stream is shortened. See Figure 3 for the 12-bit example. In default mode, as shown in Figure 2, the MSB is first in the data output serial stream. This can be inverted so that the LSB is first in the data output serial stream by using the SPI. There are 12 digital output test pattern options available that can be initiated through the SPI. This is a useful feature when validating receiver capture and timing (see Table 11 for the output bit sequencing options that are available). Some test patterns have two serial sequential words and can be alternated in various ways, depending on the test pattern chosen. Note that some patterns do not adhere to the data format select option. In addition, custom user-defined test patterns can be assigned in Register 0x19, Register 0x1A, Register 0x1B, and Register 0x1C. Table 11.

Consult the Memory Map section for information on how to change these additional digital output timing features through the SPI. SDIO/DFS Pin For applications that do not require SPI mode operation, the CSB pin is tied to AVDD, and the SDIO/DFS pin controls the output data format select according to Table 13. The SCLK/DTP pin is for use in applications that do not require SPI mode operation. This pin can enable a single digital test pattern if it and the CSB pin are both held high during device power-up. When SCLK/DTP is tied to AVDD, the ADC channel outputs shift out the following pattern: 10 0000 0000 0000. The FCO and DCO function normally while all channels shift out the repeatable test pattern. This pattern allows the user to perform timing Table 14.

A | Page 26 of 40 Data Sheet AD9257 BUILT-IN OUTPUT TEST MODES The AD9257 includes a built-in test feature designed to enable verification of the integrity of each data output channel, as well as to facilitate board level debugging. Various output test options are provided to place predictable values on the outputs of the AD9257. OUTPUT TEST MODES The output test options are described in Table 17 at Address 0x0D. When an output test mode is enabled, the analog section of the ADC is disconnected from the digital back-end blocks and the test pattern is run through the output formatting block. Some of the test patterns are subject to output formatting, and some are not. The PN generators from the PN sequence tests can be reset by setting Bit 4 or Bit 5 of Register 0x0D. These tests can be performed with or without an analog signal (if present, the analog signal is ignored), but they do require an encode clock. For more information, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. Rev. A | Page 27 of 40 AD9257 Data Sheet SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI) The AD9257 serial port interface (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, which are documented in the Memory Map section. For detailed operational information, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. The falling edge of the CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge of the SCLK, determines the start of the framing. An example of the serial timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 61 and Table 5. CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted. Data follows the instruction phase, and its length is determined by the W0 and W1 bits. Other modes involving the CSB are available. The CSB can be held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the device; this is called streaming. The CSB can stall high between bytes to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied high, SPI functions are placed in high impedance mode. This mode turns on any SPI pin secondary functions. Three pins define the SPI of this ADC: the SCLK/DTP pin, the SDIO/DFS pin, and the CSB pin (see Table 15). The SCLK (a serial clock) is used to synchronize the read and write data presented from and to the ADC. The SDIO (serial data input/ output) is a dual-purpose pin that allows data to be sent to and read from the internal ADC memory map registers. The CSB (chip select bar) is an active low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles. 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. The first bit of the first byte in a multibyte serial data transfer frame indicates whether a read command or a write command is issued. If the instruction is a readback operation, performing a readback causes the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to change direction from an input to an output at the appropriate point in the serial frame.

The SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as inputs when using the SPI interface. The SDIO pin is bidirectional, functioning as an input during write phases and as an output during readback. The 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. The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the SCLK signal, the CSB signal, and the SDIO signal are typically asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between this bus and the AD9257 to prevent these signals from transitioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods. Some pins serve a dual function when the SPI interface is not being used. When the pins are strapped to DRVDD or ground during device power-on, they are associated with a specific function. Table 13 and Table 14 describe the strappable functions supported on the AD9257. CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers, the SDIO/DFS pin, the SCLK/DTP pin, and the PDWN pin serve as standalone CMOS-compatible control pins. When the device is powered up, it is assumed that the user intends to use the pins as static control lines for the output data format, output digital test pattern, and power-down feature control. In this mode, CSB should be connected to AVDD, which disables the serial port interface. When the device is in SPI mode, the PDWN pin (if enabled) remains active. For SPI control of power-down, the PDWN pin should be set to its default state. SPI ACCESSIBLE FEATURES Table 16 provides a brief description of the general features that are accessible via the SPI. These features are described in detail in the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. The AD9257 part-specific features are described in detail in the Memory Map Register Descriptions section following Table 17, the external memory map register table. Table 16.

The memory map is roughly divided into three sections: the chip configuration registers (Address 0x00 to Address 0x02); the device index and transfer registers (Address 0x05 and Address 0xFF); and the global ADC functions registers, including setup, control, and test (Address 0x08 to Address 0x109). After the AD9257 is reset, critical registers are loaded with default values. The default values for the registers are given in Table 17, the memory map register table. Logic Levels An explanation of logic level terminology follows: • The memory map register table (see Table 17) lists 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 0x05, the device index register, has a hexadecimal default value of 0x3F. This means that in Address 0x05, Bits[7:6] = 0, and the remaining Bits[5:0] = 1. This setting is the default channel index setting. The default value results in both ADC channels receiving the next write command. For more information on this function and others, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. This application note details the functions controlled by Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF. The remaining registers are documented in the Memory Map Register Descriptions section. Open Locations All address and bit locations that are not included in Table 17 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 0x05). If the entire address location is open or not listed in Table 17 (for example, Address 0x13) this address location should not be written. • “Bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or “writing Logic 1 for the bit.” “Clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or “writing Logic 0 for the bit.” Channel-Specific Registers Some channel setup functions can be programmed differently for each channel. In these cases, channel address locations are internally duplicated for each channel. These registers and bits are designated in Table 17 as local. These local registers and bits can be accessed by setting the appropriate data channel bits (A through H) and the clock channel DCO/FCO bits (Bits[5:4]) in Registers 0x04 and 0x05. If all the bits are set, the subsequent write affects the registers of all channels and the DCO/FCO clock channels. In a read cycle, only one of the channels should be set to read one of the four local registers. If all the bits are set during a SPI read cycle, the part returns the value for Channel A. Registers and bits designated as global in Table 17 affect the entire part or the channel features for which independent settings are not allowed between channels. The settings in Register 0x04 and Register 0x05 do not affect the global registers and bits. Rev. A | Page 30 of 40 Data Sheet AD9257 MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE The AD9257 uses a 3-wire interface and 16-bit addressing and, therefore, Bit 0 and Bit 7 in Register 0x00 are set to 0, and Bit 3 and Bit 4 are set to 1. When Register 0x00, Bit 5 is set high, the SPI enters a soft reset, where all of the user registers revert to their default values and Bit 2 is automatically cleared. Table 17.

AD9257 Data Sheet MEMORY MAP REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS For additional information about functions controlled in Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. Device Index (Register 0x04 and Register 0x05) There are certain features in the map that can be set independently for each channel, whereas other features apply globally to all channels (depending on context), regardless of which are selected. The first four bits in Register 0x04 and Register 0x05 can be used to select which individual data channels are affected. The output clock channels can be selected in Register 0x05, as well. A smaller subset of the independent feature list can be applied to those devices. Transfer (Register 0xFF) All registers except Register 0x100 are updated the moment they are written. Setting Bit 0 of this transfer register high initializes the settings in the ADC sample rate override register (Address 0x100). Power Modes (Register 0x08) Bits[7:6]—Open Output Mode (Register 0x14) Bit 7—Open Bit 6—LVDS-ANSI/LVDS-IEEE Option Setting this bit chooses the LVDS-IEEE (reduced range) option. The default setting is LVDS-ANSI. As described in Table 18, when LVDS-ANSI or LVDS-IEEE reduced range link is selected, the user can select the driver termination. The driver current is automatically selected to give the proper output swing. Table 18. LVDS-ANSI/LVDS-IEEE Options Output Mode, Bit[6] 0 1 Output Mode LVDS-ANSI LVDS-IEEE reduced range link Output Driver Termination User selectable User selectable Output Driver Current Automatically selected to give proper swing Automatically selected to give proper swing Bits[5:3]—Open Bit 2—Output Invert Setting this bit inverts the output bit stream. Bit 5—External Power-Down Pin Function If set, the external PDWN pin initiates standby mode. If cleared, the external PDWN pin initiates power-down mode. Bits[4:2]—Open Bits[1:0]—Internal Power-Down Mode In normal operation (Bits[1:0] = 00), all ADC channels are active. In power-down mode (Bits[1:0] = 01), the digital data path clocks are disabled while the digital data path is reset. Outputs are disabled. In standby mode (Bits[1:0] = 10), the digital data path clocks and the outputs are disabled. During a digital reset (Bits[1:0] = 11), all the digital data path clocks and the outputs (where applicable) on the chip are reset, except the SPI port. Note that the SPI is always left under control of the user, that is, it is never automatically disabled or in reset (except by power-on reset). Enhancement Control (Register 0x0C) Bits[7:3]—Open Bit 2—Chop Mode Bit 1—Open Bit 0—Output Format By default, this bit is set to send the data output in twos complement format. Resetting this bit changes the output mode to offset binary. Output Adjust (Register 0x15) Bits[7:6]—Open Bits[5:4]—Output Termination These bits allow the user to select the internal termination resistor. Bits[3:1]—Open Bit 0—Output Drive Bit 0 of the output adjust register controls the drive strength on the LVDS driver of the FCO and DCO outputs only. The default values set the drive to 1×. The drive can be increased to 2× by setting the appropriate channel bit in Register 0x05 and then setting Bit 0. These features cannot be used with the output driver termination select. The termination selection takes precedence over the 2× driver strength on FCO and DCO when both the output driver termination and output drive are selected. For applications that are sensitive to offset voltages and other low frequency noise, such as homodyne or direct conversion receivers, chopping in the first stage of the AD9257 is a feature that can be enabled by setting Bit 2. In the frequency domain, chopping translates offsets and other low frequency noise to fCLK/2, where they can be filtered. Bits[1:0]—Open Rev.

Bits[6:4] determine at which phase of the external clock sampling occurs. This is only applicable when the clock divider is used. Selecting Bits[6:4] greater than Register 0x0B Bits[2:0] is prohibited. Table 19.

Any attempt to upgrade the default speed grade results in a chip power-down. Settings in this register are not initialized until Bit 0 of the transfer register (Register 0xFF) is written high. User I/O Control 2 (Register 0x101) Bits[7:1]—Open Bit 0—SDIO Pull-Down Bit 0 can be set to disable the internal 30 kΩ pull-down on the SDIO pin, which can be used to limit loading when many devices are connected to the SPI bus.

A | Page 35 of 40 AD9257 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DESIGN GUIDELINES Before starting design and layout of the AD9257 as a system, it is recommended that the designer become familiar with these guidelines, which describes the special circuit connections and layout requirements that are needed for certain pins. POWER AND GROUND RECOMMENDATIONS When connecting power to the AD9257, it is recommended that two separate 1.8 V supplies be used. Use one supply for analog (AVDD); use a separate supply for the digital outputs (DRVDD). For both AVDD and DRVDD, several different decoupling capacitors should be used to cover both high and low frequencies. Place these capacitors close to the point of entry at the PCB level and close to the pins of the part, with minimal trace length. EXPOSED PAD THERMAL HEAT SLUG RECOMMENDATIONS It is required that the exposed pad on the underside of the ADC be connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the best electrical and thermal performance of the AD9257. An exposed continuous copper plane on the PCB should mate to the AD9257 exposed pad, Pin 0. The copper plane should have several vias to achieve the lowest possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to flow through the bottom of the PCB. These vias should be solder-filled or plugged. A single PCB ground plane should be sufficient when using the AD9257. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the PCB analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance is easily achieved. To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and PCB, partition the continuous copper plane by overlaying a silkscreen on the PCB into several uniform sections. This provides several tie points between the ADC and PCB during the reflow process, whereas using one continuous plane with no partitions guarantees only one tie point. For detailed information on packaging and the PCB layout of chip scale packages, see the AN-772 Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP), at www.analog.com. CLOCK STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS VCM When powered on, the AD9257 goes into an initialization phase where an internal state machine sets up the biases and the registers for proper operation. During the initialization process, the AD9257 needs a stable clock. If the ADC clock source is not present or not stable during ADC power-up, it will disrupt the state machine and cause the ADC to start up in an unknown state. To correct this, an initialization sequence needs to be re-invoked after the ADC clock is stable. This is done by issuing a digital reset via Register 0x08. In the default configuration (internal VREF, ac-coupled input) where VREF and VCM are supplied by the ADC itself, a stable clock during power-up is sufficient. In the case where VREF and/or VCM are supplied by an external source, these too should be stable at power up; otherwise, a subsequent digital reset via Register 0x08 will be needed. The pseudo-code sequence for a digital reset is as follows: The VCM pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor. SPI_Write (0x08, 0x03); # Digital Reset REFERENCE DECOUPLING The VREF pin should be externally decoupled to ground with a low ESR, 1.0 μF capacitor in parallel with a low ESR, 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor. SPI PORT The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the SCLK, CSB, and SDIO signals are typically asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between this bus and the AD9257 to keep these signals from transitioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.
