The AD9481 is available in a Pb-free, 44-lead, surface-mount
package (TQFP-44) specified over the industrial temperature
range (−40°C to +85°C).
The AD9481 is an 8-bit, monolithic analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) optimized for high speed and low power consumption.
Small in size and easy to use, the product operates at a
250 MSPS conversion rate, with excellent linearity and dynamic
performance over its full operating range.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
To minimize system cost and power dissipation, the AD9481
includes an internal reference and track-and-hold circuit. The
user only provides a 3.3 V power supply and a differential
encode clock. No external reference or driver components are
required for many applications.
2. Power-down mode. A power-down function may be exercised
to bring total consumption down to 15 mW.
The digital outputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible with an option
of twos complement or binary output format. The output data
bits are provided in an interleaved fashion along with output
clocks that simplifies data capture.
1. Superior linearity. A DNL of ±0.35 makes the AD9481
suitable for many instrumentation and measurement
applications
3. De-multiplexed CMOS outputs allow for easy interfacing
with low cost FPGAs and standard logic.

TERMINOLOGY
Analog Bandwidth
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the
fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is
reduced by 3 dB.
Full-Scale Input Power
Expressed in dBm. Computed using the following equation
⎛ V 2 FULLSCALE rms
⎜
Z INPUT
⎜
PowerFULLSCALE = 10 log ⎜
0.001
⎜
⎜
⎝
Aperture Delay
The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the
encode command and the instant the analog input is sampled.
Gain Error
Gain error is the difference between the measured and ideal
full-scale input voltage range of the ADC.
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse-Width/Duty Cycle
Pulse-width high is the minimum amount of time that the clock
pulse should be left in a Logic 1 state to achieve rated
performance; pulse-width low is the minimum time clock pulse
should be left in a low state. See timing implications of changing
tEH in the Clocking the AD9481 section. At a given clock rate,
these specifications define an acceptable clock duty cycle.
Crosstalk
Coupling onto one channel being driven by a low level
(−40 dBFS) signal when the adjacent interfering channel is
driven by a full-scale signal.
Harmonic Distortion, Second
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
second harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Harmonic Distortion, Third
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
third harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Integral Nonlinearity
The deviation of the transfer function from a reference line
measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a best straight line
determined by a least square curve fit.
Differential Analog Input Resistance, Differential Analog
Input Capacitance, and Differential Analog Input Impedance
The real and complex impedances measured at each analog
input port. The resistance is measured statically and the
capacitance and differential input impedances are measured
with a network analyzer.
Differential Analog Input Voltage Range
The peak-to-peak differential voltage that must be applied to
the converter to generate a full-scale response. Peak differential
voltage is computed by observing the voltage on a single pin
and subtracting the voltage from the other pin, which is 180°
out of phase. Peak-to-peak differential is computed by rotating
the inputs phase 180° and taking the peak measurement again.
The difference is then computed between both peak
measurements.
Minimum Conversion Rate
The encode rate at which the SNR of the lowest analog signal
frequency drops by no more than 3 dB below the guaranteed
limit.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The encode rate at which parametric testing is performed.
Output Propagation Delay
The delay between a differential crossing of CLK+ and CLK−
and the time when all output data bits are within valid logic
levels.
Noise (for Any Range within the ADC)
This value includes both thermal and quantization noise.

⎝
Differential Nonlinearity
The deviation of any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is calculated from the measured SINAD based on the

FS is the full scale of the device for the frequency in question.
SNR is the value for the particular input level.
Signal is the signal level within the ADC reported in dB below
full scale.

Power Supply Rejection Ratio
The ratio of a change in input offset voltage to a change in
power supply voltage.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set 1 dB below full scale)
to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components,
including harmonics, but excluding dc.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (without Harmonics)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set at 1 dB below full
scale) to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral
components, excluding the first five harmonics and dc.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
peak spurious spectral component. The peak spurious
component may or may not be a harmonic. It also may be
reported in dBc (degrades as signal level is lowered) or dBFS
(always related back to converter full scale).
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion Rejection
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value
of the worst third-order intermodulation product, in dBc.
Two-Tone SFDR
The ratio of the rms value of either input tone to the rms value
of the peak spurious component. The peak spurious component
may or may not be an IMD product. It also may be reported in
dBc (degrades as signal level is lowered) or in dBFS (always
relates back to converter full scale).
Worst Other Spur
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
worst spurious component (excluding the second and third
harmonic), reported in dBc.
Transient Response Time
The time it takes for the ADC to reacquire the analog input
after a transient from 10% above negative full scale to 10%
below positive full scale.
Out-of-Range Recovery Time
This is the time it takes for the ADC to reacquire the analog
input after a transient from 10% above positive full scale to 10%
above negative full scale, or from 10% below negative full scale
to 10% below positive full scale.

AD9481
APPLICATIONS
The AD9481 uses a 1.5 bit per stage architecture. The analog
inputs drive an integrated high bandwidth track-and-hold
circuit that samples the signal prior to quantization by the 8-bit
core. For ease of use, the part includes an on-board reference
and input logic that accepts TTL, CMOS, or LVPECL levels. The
digital output logic levels are CMOS-compatible.
49.9Ω
499Ω
A wideband transformer, such as the Mini-Circuits ADT1-1WT,
can provide the differential analog inputs for applications that
require a single-ended-to-differential conversion. Note that the
filter and center-tap capacitor on the secondary side is optional
and dependent on application requirements. An RC filter at the
secondary side helps reduce any wideband noise getting aliased
by the ADC.

The analog input to the AD9481 is a differential buffer. For best
dynamic performance, impedances at VIN+ and VIN− should
match. Optimal performance is obtained when the analog
inputs are driven differentially. SNR and SINAD performance
can degrade if the analog input is driven with a single-ended
signal. The analog inputs self-bias to approximately 1.9 V; this
common-mode voltage can be externally overdriven by
approximately ±300 mV if required.

For dc-coupled applications, the AD8138/AD8139 or AD8351
can serve as a convenient ADC driver, depending on
requirements. Figure 29 shows an example with the AD8138.
The AD9481 PCB has an optional AD8351 on board, as shown
in Figure 39 and Figure 40. The AD8351 typically yields better
performance for frequencies greater than 30 MHz to 40 MHz.
The AD9481’s linearity and SFDR start to degrade at higher
analog frequencies (see the Typical Performance Characteristics
section). For higher frequency applications, the AD9480 with
LVDS outputs and superior AC performance should be
considered.
A stable and accurate 1.0 V reference is built into the AD9481.
Users can choose this internal reference or provide an external
reference for greater accuracy and flexibility. Figure 32 shows
the typical reference variation with temperature. Table 8
summarizes the available reference configurations.

The internal reference can be configured for a differential span
of 1 V p-p (see Figure 34). It is recommended to place a 0.1 µF
capacitor as close as possible to the VREF pin; a 10 µF capacitor
is also required (see the PCB layout for guidance). If the internal
reference of the AD9481 is used to drive multiple converters to
improve gain matching, the loading of the reference by the
other converters must be considered. Figure 34 depicts how the
internal reference voltage is affected by loading.

External Reference
An external reference can be used for greater accuracy and
temperature stability when required. The gain of the AD9481
can also be varied using this configuration. A voltage output
DAC can be used to set VREF, providing for a means to digitally
adjust the full-scale voltage. VREF can be externally set to
voltages from 0.75 V to 1.5 V; optimum performance is typically
obtained at VREF = 1 V. (See the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.)
The clock inputs are internally biased to 1.5 V (nominal) and
support either differential or single-ended signals. For best
dynamic performance, a differential signal is recommended. An
MC100LVEL16 performs well in the circuit to drive the clock
inputs (ac coupling is optional). If the clock buffer is greater
than two inches from the ADC, a standard LVPECL
termination may be required instead of the simple pull-down
termination shown in Figure 37.

The programmable reference can be used to set a differential

recommended to keep the sum of R1 + R2 ≥ 10 kΩ to limit
VREF loading (for VREF = 1.5 V, set R1 equal to 7 kΩ and R2

CLOCKING THE AD9481
Any high speed ADC is extremely sensitive to the quality of the
sampling clock provided by the user. A track-and-hold circuit is
essentially a mixer, and any noise, distortion, or timing jitter on
the clock is combined with the desired signal at the A/D output.
Considerable care has been taken in the design of the CLOCK
input of the AD9481, and the user is advised to give
commensurate thought to the clock source.
The AD9481 has an internal clock duty cycle stabilization
circuit that locks to the rising edge of CLOCK and optimizes
timing internally for sample rates between 100 MSPS and
250 MSPS. This allows for a wide range of input duty cycles at
the input without degrading performance. Jitter on 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 70 MHz
nominally. The loop has a time constant associated with it that
needs to be considered in applications where the clock rate can
The DS inputs are internally biased to 1.5 V (nominal) and
support either differential or single-ended signals. When DS+ is
held high (DS− low), the ADC data outputs and DCO outputs
do not switch and are held static. Synchronization is
accomplished by the assertion (falling edge) of DS+ within the
timing constraints tSDS and tHDS, relative to a clock rising edge.
(On initial synchronization, tHDS is not relevant.) If DS+ falls
within the required setup time (tSDS) before a given clock rising
edge N, the analog value at that point in time is digitized and
available at Port A, eight cycles later in interleaved mode. The
next sample, N + 1, is sampled by the next rising clock edge and
available at Port B, eight cycles after that clock edge.
Driving each ADC’s DS inputs by the same sync signal
accomplishes synchronization between multiple ADCs. In
applications which require synchronization, one-shot
synchronization is recommended. An easy way to accomplish
synchronization is by a one-time sync at power-on reset.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The CMOS digital outputs are TTL-/CMOS-compatible for
lower power consumption. The outputs are biased from a
separate supply (DRVDD), allowing easy interface to external
logic. The outputs are CMOS devices that swing from ground to
DRVDD (with no dc load). It is recommended to minimize the
capacitive load the ADC drives by keeping the output traces
short (< 2 inch, for a total CLOAD < 5 pF). When operating in
CMOS mode, it is also recommended to place low value series
damping resistors on the data lines close to the ADC to reduce
switching transient effects on performance.

Instrumentation applications may prefer to interleave (or pingpong) two AD9481s to achieve twice the sample rate, or
500 MSPS. In these applications, it is important to match the
gain and offset of the two ADCs. Varying the reference voltage
allows the gain of the ADCs to be adjusted; external dc offset
compensation can be used to reduce offset mismatch between
two ADCs. The sampling phase offset between the two ADCs
is extremely important as well and requires very low skew
between clock signals driving the ADCs (< 2 ps clock skew
for a 100 MHz analog input frequency).
DATA CLOCK OUT
A data clock is available at DCO+ and DCO−. These clocks can
facilitate latching off-chip, providing a low skew clocking
solution. The on-chip delay of the DCO clocks tracks with the
on-chip delay of the data bits, (under similar loading) such that
the variation between tPD and tCPD is minimized. It is
recommended to keep the trace lengths on the data and DCO
pins matched and 2 inches maximum. A series damping resistor
at the clock outputs is also recommended. The DCO outputs
can be disabled and placed in a high impedance state by tying
S3 to ground (tie to AVDD for DCO active). Switching both
into and out of high impedance is accomplished in 4 ns from S3
switching.
POWER-DOWN INPUT
The ADC can be placed into a low power state by setting the
PDWN pin to AVDD. Time to go into (or come out of) power
down equals 30 ns typically from PDWN switching.

AD9481 EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9481 evaluation board offers an easy way to test the
device. It requires a clock source, an analog input signal, and a
3.3 V power supply. The clock source is buffered on the board to
provide the clocks for the ADC and a data-ready signal. The
digital outputs and output clocks are available at an 80-pin
output connector, P3, P23. (Note that P3, P23 are represented
schematically as two 40-pin connectors, and this connector is
implemented as one 80-pin connector on the PCB.) The board
has several different modes of operation and is shipped in the
following configuration:
•

ANALOG INPUTS
The evaluation board accepts a 700 mV p-p analog input signal
centered at ground at SMB Connector J3. This signal is
terminated to ground through 50 Ω by R22. The input can be
alternatively terminated at the T1 transformer secondary by
R21 and R28. T1 is a wideband RF transformer that provides
the single-ended-to-differential conversion, allowing the ADC
to be driven differentially, minimizing even-order harmonics.
An optional transformer, T4, can be placed if desired (remove
T1, as shown in Figure 39 and Figure 40).
The analog signal can be low-pass filtered by R21, C8 and R28,
C9 at the ADC input.

POWER CONNECTOR
Power is supplied to the board via two detachable 4-pin power

Full scale is set by the sense jumper. This jumper applies a bias

Connector J1. The input is ac-coupled to a high speed
differential receiver (LVEL16) that provides the required low
jitter, fast edge rates needed for best performance. J1 input
should be > 0.5 V p-p. Power to the LVEL16 is set to VCTRL
(default) or AVDD by jumper placement at the device.
OPTIONAL CLOCK BUFFER
The PCB has been designed to accommodate the SNLVDS1 line
driver. The SNLVDS1 is used as a high speed LVDS-level
optional encode clock. To use this clock, please remove C2, C5,
and C6. Place 0.1 µF capacitors on C34, C35, and C26. Place a
10 Ω resistor on R48, and place a 100 Ω resistor on R6. Place a
0 Ω resistor on both R49 and R53. For best results using the line
driver, J1 input should be > 2.5 V p-p.
DS
The DS inputs are available on the PCB at J2 and J4. If driving
DS+ externally, place a 0 Ω resistor at C48 and remove R53.

OPTIONAL XTAL
The PCB has been designed to accommodate an optional
crystal oscillator that can serve as a convenient clock source.
The footprint can accept both through-hole and surface-mount
devices, including Vectron XO-400 and Vectron VCC6 family
oscillators.
To use either crystal, populate C38 and C40 with 0.1 µF capacitors. Populate R48 and R49 with 0 Ω resistors. Place R50, R51,
R59, and R60 with 1 kΩ resistors. Remove C6 and C5. If the
Vectron VCC6 family crystal is being used, populate R57 with a
10 Ω resistor. If using the XO-400 crystal, place jumper E21 or
E22 to E23.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The AD9481 has an internal 1 V reference mode. The ADC uses
the internal 1 V reference as the default when sense is set to
ground. An optional on-board external 1.0 V reference
(ADR510) can be used by setting the sense jumper to AVDD, by
placing a jumper on E5 to E3, and by placing a 0 Ω resistor on
R55. When using an external programmable reference, (R20,
R30) remove the sense jumper.

The ADC outputs are buffered on the PCB by LVT574 latches
on the data outputs. The latch outputs have series terminating
resistors at the output pins to minimize reflections.
