Figure 1.
The digital output data is presented in offset binary, Gray code, or
twos complement formats. A data output clock (DCO) is provided
to ensure proper latch timing with receiving logic.
The AD9246 is a monolithic, single 1.8 V supply, 14-bit, 80 MSPS/
105 MSPS/125 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC), featuring
a high performance sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) and on-chip
voltage reference. The product uses a multistage differential
pipeline architecture with output error correction logic to
provide 14-bit accuracy at 125 MSPS data rates and guarantees
no missing codes over the full operating temperature range.
The AD9246 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP_VQ and is specified
over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
1.
The AD9246 operates from a single 1.8 V power supply
and features a separate digital output driver supply to
accommodate 1.8 V to 3.3 V logic families.
The wide bandwidth, truly differential SHA allows a variety of
user-selectable input ranges and offsets, including single-ended
applications. It is suitable for multiplexed systems that switch
full-scale voltage levels in successive channels and for sampling
single-channel inputs at frequencies well beyond the Nyquist rate.
Combined with power and cost savings over previously available
ADCs, the AD9246 is suitable for applications in communications,
imaging, and medical ultrasound.
2.
The patented SHA input maintains excellent performance
for input frequencies up to 225 MHz.
3.
The clock DCS maintains overall ADC performance over a
wide range of clock pulse widths.
4.
A standard serial port interface supports various product
features and functions, such as data formatting (offset
binary, twos complement, or Gray coding), enabling the
clock DCS, power-down, and voltage reference mode.
5.
The AD9246 is pin-compatible with the AD9233, allowing
a simple migration from 12 bits to 14 bits.
A differential clock input controls all internal conversion cycles.
A duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) compensates for wide variations in
the clock duty cycle while maintaining excellent overall ADC
performance.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
The exposed paddle must be soldered to the ground plane for
the LFCSP_VQ package. Soldering the exposed paddle to the
customer board increases the reliability of the solder joints,
maximizing the thermal capability of the package.

°C/W
Typical θJA and θJC are specified for a 4-layer board in still air.
Airflow increases heat dissipation effectively reducing θJA. In
addition, metal in direct contact with the package leads from
metal traces, and through holes, ground, and power planes,

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

AD9246
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9246 architecture consists of a front-end sample-andhold amplifier (SHA) followed by a pipelined switched capacitor
ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into
a final 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipeline
architecture permits the first stage to operate on a new input
sample, while the remaining stages operate on preceding
samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.
For more information, see Application Notes AN-742, Frequency
Domain Response of Switched-Capacitor ADCs; and AN-827,
A Resonant Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to SwitchedCapacitor ADCs, and the Analog Dialogue article, “TransformerCoupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters.”
S
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched capacitor DAC
and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The residue amplifier
magnifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output
and the flash input for the next stage in the pipeline. One bit of
redundancy is used in each stage to facilitate digital correction
of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a flash ADC.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD9246 is a differential switched
capacitor SHA that has been designed for optimum
performance while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal alternately switches the SHA between sample
mode and hold mode (see Figure 36). When the SHA is
switched into 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 required from the output
stage of the driving source.
A shunt capacitor can be placed across the inputs to provide
dynamic charging currents. This passive network creates a lowpass filter at the ADC input; therefore, the precise values are
dependent on the application.
In IF undersampling applications, any shunt capacitors should
be reduced. In combination with the driving source impedance,
these capacitors would limit the input bandwidth.

The input stage contains a differential SHA that can be ac- or
dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes. The output
staging block aligns the data, carries out the error correction,
and passes the data to the output buffers. The output buffers are
powered from a separate supply, allowing adjustment of the
output voltage swing. During power down, the output buffers
go into a high impedance state.
CH
S
Figure 36. Switched Capacitor SHA Input
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN− should match such that common-mode
settling errors are symmetrical. These errors are reduced by the
common-mode rejection of the ADC.
An internal differential reference buffer creates two reference
voltages used to define the input span of the ADC core. The
span of the ADC core is set by the buffer to be 2 × VREF. The
reference voltages are not available to the user. Two bypass
points, REFT and REFB, are brought out for decoupling to
reduce the noise contributed by the internal reference buffer.
It is recommended that REFT be decoupled to REFB by a 0.1 μF
capacitor, as described in the Layout Considerations section.
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD9246 are not internally dc-biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. Setting the device such that VCM = 0.55 × AVDD is
recommended for optimum performance; however, the device
functions over a wider range with reasonable performance (see
Figure 32). An on-board, common-mode voltage reference is
included in the design and is available from the CML pin.
Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode
voltage of the analog input is set by the CML pin voltage
(typically 0.55 × AVDD). The CML pin must be decoupled to
ground by a 0.1 μF capacitor, as described in the Layout
Considerations section.

AD9246
At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve
the true SNR performance of the AD9246. For applications where
SNR is a key parameter, transformer coupling is the recommended input.
DIFFERENTIAL INPUT CONFIGURATIONS
Optimum performance is achieved by driving the AD9246 in
a differential input configuration. For baseband applications,
the AD8138 differential driver provides excellent performance
and a flexible interface to the ADC. The output common-mode
voltage of the AD8138 is easily set with the CML pin of the
AD9246 (see Figure 37), and the driver can be configured in
a Sallen-Key filter topology to provide band limiting of the
input signal.

In any configuration, the value of the shunt capacitor, C, is
dependent on the input frequency and source impedance and
may need to be reduced or removed. Table 8 displays recommended values to set the RC network. However, these values are
dependent on the input signal and should only be used as a
starting guide.

As an alternative to using a transformer-coupled input at

For baseband applications where SNR is a key parameter,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration (see Figure 38). The CML voltage can be
connected to the center tap of the secondary winding of the
transformer to bias the analog input.

The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting
a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at frequencies
below a few MHz, and excessive signal power can cause core
saturation, which leads to distortion.

In this configuration, SFDR and distortion performance
degrade due to the large input common-mode swing. If the
source impedances on each input are matched, there should be
little effect on SNR performance. Figure 39 details a typical
single-ended input configuration.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A stable and accurate voltage reference is built into the AD9246.
The input range is adjustable by varying the reference voltage
applied to the AD9246, using either the internal reference or an
externally applied reference voltage. The input span of the ADC
tracks reference voltage changes linearly. The various reference
modes are summarized in the following sections. The Reference
Decoupling section describes the best practices and requirements for PCB layout of the reference.
Internal Reference Connection
A comparator within the AD9246 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference into four possible
states, as summarized in Table 9. If SENSE is grounded, the
reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal resistor
divider (see Figure 42), setting VREF to 1 V.

If a resistor divider is connected external to the chip as shown
in Figure 43, the switch sets to the SENSE pin. This puts the
reference amplifier in a noninverting mode with the VREF
output defined as

⎝
If the SENSE pin is connected to AVDD, the reference amplifier
is disabled, and an external reference voltage can be applied to
the VREF pin (see the External Reference Operation section).
The input range of the ADC always equals twice the voltage at
the reference pin for either an internal or an external reference.
Connecting the SENSE pin to VREF switches the reference
amplifier input to the SENSE pin, completing the loop and
providing a 0.5 V reference output.

The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance

When the SENSE pin is tied to AVDD, the internal reference is
disabled, allowing the use of an external reference. An internal
resistor divider loads the external reference with an equivalent
6 kΩ load (see Figure 11). In addition, an 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 V.

For optimum performance, the AD9246 sample clock inputs
(CLK+ and CLK−) should be clocked with a differential signal.
The signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ pin and the
CLK− pin via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased
internally (see Figure 5) and require no external bias.
Clock Input Options
The AD9246 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 used, the jitter of the clock
source is of the most concern (see the Jitter Considerations
section).

Figure 46 shows one preferred method for clocking the
AD9246. A low jitter clock source is converted from singleended to a differential signal using an RF transformer. The
back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer secondary
limit clock excursions into the AD9246 to approximately
0.8 V p-p differential. This helps prevent the large voltage
swings of the clock from feeding through to other portions of
the AD9246, while preserving the fast rise and fall times of the
signal, which are critical to a low jitter performance.

Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals. As a result, these ADCs may
be sensitive to clock duty cycle. Commonly, a ±5% tolerance is
required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic
performance characteristics.
The AD9246 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that retimes
the nonsampling, or falling edge, providing an internal clock
signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows a wide range
of clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance of
the AD9246. Noise and distortion performance are nearly flat
for a wide range of duty cycles when the DCS is on, as shown in
Figure 31.

In some applications, it is acceptable to drive the sample clock
inputs with a single-ended CMOS signal. In such applications,
directly drive CLK+ from a CMOS gate, while bypassing the
CLK− pin to ground using a 0.1 μF capacitor in parallel with a
39 kΩ resistor (see Figure 49). CLK+ may be directly driven
from a CMOS gate. This input is designed to withstand input
voltages up to 3.6 V, making the selection of the drive logic
voltage very flexible. When driving CLK+ with a 1.8 V CMOS
signal, biasing the CLK− pin with a 0.1 μF capacitor in parallel
with a 39 kΩ resistor (see Figure 49) is required. The 39 kΩ
resistor is not required when driving CLK+ with a 3.3 V CMOS
signal (see Figure 50).
Jitter in the rising edge of the input is still of paramount
concern and is not 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 needs to be considered in applications
where the clock rate can change dynamically. This requires a
wait time of 1.5 μs to 5 μs after a dynamic clock frequency
increase (or decrease) before the DCS loop is relocked to the
input signal. During the time period the loop is not locked, the
DCS loop is bypassed, and the internal device timing is
dependent on the duty cycle of the input clock signal. In such
an application, it may be appropriate to disable the duty cycle
stabilizer. In all other applications, enabling the DCS circuit is
recommended to maximize ac performance.

The DCS can be enabled or disabled by setting the SDIO/DCS
pin when operating in the external pin mode (see Table 10), or
via the SPI, as described in Table 13.

High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input
frequency (fIN) due to jitter (tJ) is calculated as follows:
SNR = −20 log (2π × fIN × tJ)
In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the root mean
square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input, analog
input signal, and ADC aperture jitter specification. IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter, as
illustrated in Figure 51.

where N is the number of output bits, 14 in the case of the
AD9246.
This maximum current occurs when every output bit switches
on every clock cycle, that is, a full-scale square wave at the
Nyquist frequency, fCLK/2. In practice, the DRVDD current is
established by the average number of output bits switching,
which is determined by the sample rate and the characteristics
of the analog input signal. Reducing the capacitive load
presented to the output drivers can minimize digital power
consumption. The data in Figure 52 and Figure 53 was taken
under the same operating conditions as the data for the Typical
Performance Characteristics section, with a 5 pF load on each
output driver.

POWER (mW)
Treat the clock input as an analog signal in cases where aperture
jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9246. Power supplies
for clock drivers should be separated from the ADC output driver
supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital noise.
The power supplies should also not be shared with analog input
circuits, such as buffers, to avoid the clock modulating onto the
input signal or vice versa. 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.

As shown in Figure 52 and Figure 53, the power dissipated by
the AD9246 is proportional to its sample rate. The digital power
dissipation is determined primarily by the strength of the digital
drivers and the load on each output bit. The maximum DRVDD

Power-Down Mode
By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9246 is placed in
power-down mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates
1.8 mW. During power-down, the output drivers are placed in
a high impedance state. Reasserting the PDWN pin low returns
the AD9246 to its normal operational mode. This pin is both
1.8 V and 3.3 V tolerant.
Low power dissipation in power-down mode is achieved by
shutting down the reference, reference buffer, biasing networks,
and clock. The decoupling capacitors on REFT and REFB are
discharged when entering power-down mode and then must be
recharged when returning to normal operation. As a result, the
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. With the recommended 0.1 μF decoupling
capacitors on REFT and REFB, it takes approximately 0.25 ms
to fully discharge the reference buffer decoupling capacitors and
0.35 ms to restore full operation.
Standby Mode
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).

Digital Output Enable Function (OEB)
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD9246 output drivers can be configured to interface with
1.8 V to 3.3 V logic families by matching DRVDD to the digital
supply of the interfaced logic. The output drivers are sized to
provide sufficient output current to drive a wide variety of logic
families. However, large drive currents tend to cause current
glitches on the supplies that may affect converter performance.
Applications requiring the ADC to drive large capacitive loads
or large fan-outs may require external buffers or latches.
The AD9246 has three-state ability. If the OEB pin is low, the
output data drivers are enabled. If the OEB pin is high, the
output data drivers are placed in a high impedance state. This is
not intended for rapid access to the data bus. Note that OEB is
referenced to the digital supplies (DRVDD) and should not
exceed that supply voltage.
The output data format can be selected for either offset binary
or twos complement by setting the SCLK/DFS pin when operating in the external pin mode (see Table 10).

TIMING
Data Clock Output (DCO)
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9246 is 10 MSPS.
At clock rates below 10 MSPS, dynamic performance can degrade.
The AD9246 provides a data clock output (DCO) intended for
capturing the data in an external register. The data outputs are valid
on the rising edge of DCO, unless the DCO clock polarity has
been changed via the SPI. See Figure 2 for a graphical timing
description.
The AD9246 provides latched data outputs with a pipeline delay
of 12 clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation
delay (tPD) after the rising edge of the clock signal.
The length of the output data lines and the loads placed on
them should be minimized to reduce transients within the
AD9246. These transients can degrade the dynamic performance
of the converter.

AD9246
SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
The AD9246 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.
This provides 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 are further divided into
fields, as documented in the Memory Map section. For detailed
operational information, see the Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI User Manual.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
As summarized in Table 13, three pins define the SPI of this ADC.
The SCLK/DFS pin synchronizes the read and write data
presented to the ADC. The SDIO/DCS dual purpose pin allows
data to be sent and read from the internal ADC memory map
registers. The CSB pin is an active low control that enables or
disables the read and write cycles.
Table 13. Serial Port Interface Pins
Pin Name
SCLK/DFS
SDIO/DCS
CSB
Function
SCLK (serial clock) is the serial shift clock in. SCLK
synchronizes serial interface reads and writes.
SDIO (serial data input/output) is a dual purpose
pin. The typical role for this pin is an input and
output, depending on the instruction being sent
and the relative position in the timing frame.
CSB (chip select bar) is an active low control that
gates the read and write cycles.
The falling edge of the CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge
of the SCLK, determines the start of the framing. Figure 57 and
Table 14 provide examples of the serial timing and its definitions.
Other modes involving the CSB are available. The CSB can be
held low indefinitely to permanently enable 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 a high impedance mode. This mode
turns on any SPI pin secondary functions.
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
Data follows the instruction phase, and the length is determined
by the W0 bit and the W1 bit. All data is composed of 8-bit
words. The first bit of each individual byte of serial data
indicates whether a read or write command is issued. This
allows the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to change
direction from an input to an output.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines if
the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing the serial
port to be used to both program the chip as well as read the
contents of the on-chip memory. 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.
Data can be sent in MSB- or in LSB-first mode. MSB first is the
default on power up and can be changed via the configuration
register. For more information, see the Interfacing to High Speed
ADCs via SPI User Manual.

HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 13 comprise the physical interface
between the user’s programming device and the serial port of
the AD9246. The SCLK and CSB pins 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
PROM or PIC microcontrollers. This provides the user with the
ability to use an alternate method to program the ADC. One
method is described in detail in the Application Note AN-812,
Microcontroller-based Serial Port Interface Boot Circuit.
When the SPI interface is not used, some pins serve a dual
function. When strapped to AVDD or ground during device
power-on, the pins are associated with a specific function.
CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI
In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers,
the SDIO/DCS and SCLK/DFS pins serve as stand-alone
CMOS-compatible control pins. When the device is powered
up, it is assumed that the user intends to use the pins as static
control lines for the output data format and duty cycle stabilizer
(see Table 10). In this mode, the CSB chip select should be
connected to AVDD, which disables the serial port interface.
For more information, see the Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI User Manual.

Default Values
MEMORY MAP
Coming out of reset, critical registers are loaded with default
values. The default values for the registers are shown in Table 15.
READING THE MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE
Each row in the memory map register table has eight address
locations. The memory map is roughly divided into three
sections: the chip configuration registers map (Address 0x00 to
Address 0x02), the device index and transfer registers map
(Address 0xFF), and the ADC functions map (Address 0x08 to
Address 0x18).
Logic Levels
An explanation of two registers follows:
•
“Bit is set” is synonymous with “Bit is set to Logic 1” or
“Writing Logic 1 for the bit.”
•
“Clear a bit” is synonymous with “Bit is set to Logic 0” or
“Writing Logic 0 for the bit.”
Table 15 displays the register address number in hexadecimal in
the first column. The last column displays the default value for
each hexadecimal address. The Bit 7 (MSB) column is the start
of the default hexadecimal value given. For example, Hexadecimal
Address 0x14, output_phase, has a hexadecimal default value of
0x00. This means Bit 3 = 0, Bit 2 = 0, Bit 1 = 1, and Bit 0 = 1 or
0011 in binary. This setting is the default output clock or DCO
phase adjust option. The default value adjusts the DCO phase
90° relative to the nominal DCO edge and 180° relative to the
data edge. For more information on this function, consult the
Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI User Manual.

AD9246
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
SILKSCREEN PARTITION
PIN 1 INDICATOR
When connecting power to the AD9246, it is recommended
that two separate supplies be used: one for analog (AVDD, 1.8 V
nominal) and one for digital (DRVDD, 1.8 V to 3.3 V nominal).
If only a single 1.8 V supply is available, it is routed to AVDD
first, then tapped off and isolated with a ferrite bead or filter
choke with decoupling capacitors proceeding connection to
DRVDD. The user can employ several different decoupling
capacitors to cover both high and low frequencies. These should
be located close to the point of entry at the PC board level and
close to the parts with minimal trace length.
A single PC board ground plane is sufficient when using the
AD9246. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of
analog, digital, and clock sections of the PC board, optimum
performance is easily achieved.
Exposed Paddle Thermal Heat Slug Recommendations
It is required that the exposed paddle on the underside of the
ADC be connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the
best electrical and thermal performance of the AD9246. An
exposed, continuous copper plane on the PCB should mate to
the AD9246 exposed paddle, 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.
To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and
PCB, partition the continuous plane by overlaying a silkscreen
on the PCB into several uniform sections. This provides several
tie points between the two during the reflow process. Using one
continuous plane with no partitions guarantees only one tie
point between the ADC and PCB. See Figure 58 for a PCB layout
example. For detailed information on packaging and the PCB
layout of chip scale packages, see Application Note AN-772,
A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip
Scale Package.
05491-057
POWER AND GROUND RECOMMENDATIONS
Figure 58. Typical PCB Layout
CML
The CML pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 μF
capacitor, as shown in Figure 38.
RBIAS
The AD9246 requires the user to place a 10 kΩ resistor between
the RBIAS pin and ground. This resistor sets the master current
reference of the ADC core and should have at least a 1% tolerance.
REFERENCE DECOUPLING
The VREF pin should be externally decoupled to ground with
a low ESR 1.0 μF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic low
ESR capacitor. In all reference configurations, REFT and REFB
are bypass points provided for reducing the noise contributed
by the internal reference buffer. It is recommended that an external
0.1 μF ceramic capacitor be placed across REFT/REFB. While
placement of this 0.1 μF capacitor is not required, the SNR
performance degrades by approximately 0.1 dB without it. All
reference decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the
ADC as possible with minimal trace lengths.

AD9246
EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9246 evaluation board provides all of the support
circuitry required to operate the ADC in its various modes and
configurations. The converter can be driven differentially through
a double balun configuration (default) or through the AD8352
differential driver. The ADC can also be driven in a single-ended
fashion. Separate power pins are provided to isolate the DUT
from the AD8352 drive circuitry. Each input configuration can
be selected by proper connection of various components (see
Figure 60 to Figure 70). Figure 59 shows the typical bench
characterization setup used to evaluate the ac performance of
the AD9246.
When operating the evaluation board in a nondefault condition,
L501, L503, L504, L508, and L509 can be removed to disconnect
the switching power supply. This enables the user to individually
bias each section of the board. Use P501 to connect a different
supply for each section. At least one 1.8 V supply is needed with
a 1 A current capability for AVDD_DUT and DRVDD_DUT;
however, it is recommended that separate supplies be used for
analog and digital. To operate the evaluation board using the
AD8352 option, a separate 5.0 V supply (AMP_VDD) with a
1 A current capability is needed. To operate the evaluation board
using the alternate SPI options, a separate 3.3 V analog supply
is needed, in addition to the other supplies. The 3.3 V supply
(AVDD_3.3V) should have a 1 A current capability, as well.
Solder Jumpers J501, J502, and J505 allow the user to combine
these supplies (see Figure 64 for more details).
It is critical that the signal sources used for the analog input and
clock have very low phase noise (<1 ps rms jitter) to realize the
optimum performance of the converter. Proper filtering of the
analog input signal to remove harmonics and lower the integrated
or broadband noise at the input is also necessary to achieve the
specified noise performance.
INPUT SIGNALS
When connecting the clock and analog source, use clean signal
generators with low phase noise, such as Rohde & Schwarz SMHU
or Agilent HP8644 signal generators or the equivalent. Use
1-meter long, shielded, RG-58, 50 Ω coaxial cable for making
connections to the evaluation board. Enter the desired frequency
and amplitude for the ADC. Typically, most evaluation boards
from Analog Devices, Inc. can accept a ~2.8 V p-p or 13 dBm
sine wave input for the clock. When connecting the analog
input source, it is recommended to use a multipole, narrowband, band-pass filter with 50 Ω terminations. Analog Devices
uses TTE®, Allen Avionics, and K&L® types of band-pass filters.
Connect the filter directly to the evaluation board, if possible.
See Figure 60 to Figure 64 for the complete schematics and
layout diagrams that demonstrate the routing and grounding
techniques that should be applied at the system level.
POWER SUPPLIES
This evaluation board comes with a wall-mountable switching
power supply that provides a 6 V, 2 A maximum output. Connect
the supply to the rated 100 V ac to 240 V ac wall outlet at 47 Hz
to 63 Hz. The other end is a 2.1 mm inner diameter jack that
connects to the PCB at P500. Once on the PC board, the 6 V
supply is fused and conditioned before connecting to five low
dropout linear regulators that supply the proper bias to each of
the various sections on the board.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
The parallel CMOS outputs interface directly with the Analog
Devices standard single-channel FIFO data capture board
(HSC-ADC-EVALB-SC). For more information on the FIFO
boards and their optional settings, visit www.analog.com/FIFO.

DEFAULT OPERATION AND JUMPER SELECTION
SETTINGS
The following is a list of the default and optional settings or
modes allowed on the AD9246 Rev. A evaluation board.
POWER
Connect the switching power supply that is supplied in the
evaluation kit between a rated 100 V ac to 240 V ac wall outlet
at 47 Hz to 63 Hz and P500.
VIN
The evaluation board is set up for a double balun configuration
analog input with optimum 50 Ω impedance matching out to
70 MHz. For more bandwidth response, the differential
capacitor across the analog inputs can be changed or removed
(see Table 8). The common mode of the analog inputs is
developed from the center tap of the transformer via the CML
pin of the ADC (see the Analog Input Considerations section).
VREF
VREF is set to 1.0 V by tying the SENSE pin to ground via
JP507 (Pin 1 and Pin 2). This causes the ADC to operate in
2.0 V p-p full-scale range. A separate external reference option
is also included on the evaluation board. Connect JP507
between Pin 2 and Pin 3, connect JP501, and provide an
external reference at E500. Proper use of the VREF options is
detailed in the Voltage Reference section.
RBIAS
RBIAS requires a 10 kΩ resistor (R503) to ground and is used to
set the ADC core bias current.
CLOCK
The default clock input circuitry is derived from a simple
transformer-coupled circuit using a high bandwidth 1:1 impedance
ratio transformer (T503) that adds a very low amount of jitter to
the clock path. The clock input is 50 Ω terminated and ac-coupled
to handle single-ended sine wave inputs. The transformer converts
the single-ended input to a differential signal that is clipped
before entering the ADC clock inputs.
PDWN
To enable the power-down feature, connect JP506, shorting the
PDWN pin to AVDD.
CSB
The CSB pin is internally pulled up, setting the chip into
external pin mode, to ignore the SDIO and SCLK information.
To connect the control of the CSB pin to the SPI circuitry on the
evaluation board, connect JP1 Pin 1 and Pin 2. To set the chip
into serial pin mode and enable the SPI information on the
SDIO and SCLK pins, tie JP1 low (connect Pin 2 and Pin 3) in
the always enabled mode.
SCLK/DFS
If the SPI port is in external pin mode, the SCLK/DFS pin sets the
data format of the outputs. If the pin is left floating, the pin is
internally pulled down, setting the default condition to binary.
Connecting JP2 Pin 2 and Pin 3 sets the format to twos complement. If the SPI port is in serial pin mode, connecting JP2 Pin 1
and Pin 2 connects the SCLK pin to the on-board SPI circuitry
(see the Serial Port Interface (SPI) section).
SDIO/DCS
If the SPI port is in external pin mode, the SDIO/DCS pin acts
to set the duty cycle stabilizer. If the pin is left floating, the pin is
internally pulled up, setting the default condition to DCS enabled.
To disable the DCS, connect JP3 Pin 2 and Pin 3. If the SPI port
is in serial pin mode, connecting JP3 Pin 1 and Pin 2 connects the
SDIO pin to the on-board SPI circuitry (see the Serial Port
Interface (SPI) section).
ALTERNATIVE CLOCK CONFIGURATIONS
A differential LVPECL clock can also be used to clock the ADC
input using the AD9515 (U500). When using this drive option,
the components listed in Table 16 need to be populated.
Consult the AD9515 data sheet for more information.
To configure the analog input to drive the AD9515 instead of
the default transformer option, the following components need
to be added, removed, and/or changed.
1.
Remove R507, R508, C532, and C533 in the default
clock path.
2.
Populate R505 with a 0 Ω resistor and C531 in the default
clock path.
3.
Populate R511, R512, R513, R515 to R524, U500, R580,
R582, R583, R584, C536, C537, and R586.
If using an oscillator, two oscillator footprint options are also
available (OSC500) to check the performance of the ADC.
JP508 gives the user flexibility in using the enable pin, which is
common on most oscillators. Populate OSC500, R575, R587,
and R588 to use this option.
ALTERNATIVE ANALOG INPUT DRIVE
CONFIGURATION
This section provides a brief description of the alternative
analog input drive configuration using the AD8352. When
using this particular drive option, some components need to be
populated, as listed in Table 16. For more details on the AD8352
differential driver, including how it works and its optional pin
settings, consult the AD8352 data sheet.
To configure the analog input to drive the AD8352 instead of
the default transformer option, the following components need
to be added, removed and/or changed.

1.
Remove C1 and C2 in the default analog input path.
4.
2.
Populate R3 and R4 with 200 Ω resistors in the analog
input path.
3.
Populate the optional amplifier input path with all
components except R594, R595, and C502. Note that
to terminate the input path, only one of the following
components should be populated: R9, R592, or the
combination of R590 and R591.
Currently, R561 and R562 are populated with 0 Ω resistors to
allow signal connection. This area allows the user to design a
filter, if additional requirements are necessary.
