Figure 1.
The AD9267 is a dual continuous time (CT) sigma-delta (Σ-Δ)
modulator with −88 dBc of dynamic range over 10 MHz real
or 20 MHz complex bandwidth. The combination of high
dynamic range, wide bandwidth, and characteristics unique
to the continuous time Σ-Δ modulator architecture makes the
AD9267 an ideal solution for wireless communication systems.
The AD9267 operates on a 1.8 V power supply, consuming
416 mW. The AD9267 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP and
is specified over the industrial temperature range (−40°C
to +85°C).
The AD9267 has a resistive input impedance that significantly
relaxes the requirements of the driver amplifier. In addition, a
32× oversampled fifth-order continuous time loop filter attenuates
out-of-band signals and aliases, reducing the need for external
filters at the input. The low noise figure of 15 dB relaxes the
linearity requirements of the front-end signal chain components,
and the high dynamic range reduces the need for an automatic
gain control (AGC) loop.
1.
A differential input clock controls all internal conversion cycles.
An external clock input or the integrated integer-N PLL provides
the 640 MHz internal clock needed for the oversampled continuous time Σ-Δ modulator. The digital output data is presented
as 4-bit, LVDS at 640 MSPS in twos complement format. A data
clock output (DCO) is provided to ensure proper latch timing
with receiving logic. Additional digital signal processing may be
required on the 4-bit modulator output to remove the out-of-band
noise and to reduce the sample rate.

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 package. Soldering the exposed paddle to the PCB
increases the reliability of the solder joints, maximizing the
thermal capability of the package.
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, through holes, ground, and power planes reduces
the θJA.

AD9267
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9267 uses a continuous time Σ-Δ modulator to convert
the analog input to a digital word. The modulator consists of a
continuous time loop filter preceding a quantizer (see Figure 27),
which samples at fMOD = 640 MSPS. This produces an oversampling ratio (OSR) of 32 for a 10 MHz input bandwidth. The output
of the quantizer is fed back to a DAC that ideally cancels the
input signal. The incomplete input cancellation residue is filtered
by the loop filter and is used to form the next quantizer sample.

fMOD QUANTIZATION
The quantizer produces a nine-level digital word. The quantization noise is spread uniformly over the Nyquist band (see
Figure 28) but the feedback loop causes the quantization noise
present in the nine-level output to have a nonuniform spectral
shape. This noise shaping technique (see Figure 29) pushes the
in-band noise out of band; therefore, the amount of quantization noise in the frequency band of interest is minimal.

In contrast, the continuous time Σ-Δ modulator used within the
AD9267 has inherent antialiasing. The antialiasing property
results from sampling occurring at the output of the loop filter
(see Figure 31), and thus aliasing occurs at the same point in the
loop as quantization noise is injected; aliases are shaped by the
same mechanism as quantization noise. The quantization noise
transfer function, NTF(f), has zeros in the band of interest and
in all alias bands because NTF(f) is a discrete time transfer
function, whereas the loop filter transfer function, LF(f),
introduces poles only in the band of interest because LF(f) is a
continuous time transfer function. The signal transfer function,
being the product of NTF(f) and LF(f), only has zeros in all
alias bands and therefore suppresses all aliases.

The analog inputs of the AD9267 are not internally dc biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. Setting the device such that VCM = AVDD is
recommended for optimum performance. The analog inputs
are 500 Ω resistors and the internal reference loop aims to
develop 0.5 V across each input resistor (see Figure 32). With
0 V differential input, the driver sources 1 mA into each
analog input.

The continuous time modulator removes the need for an antialias filter at the input to the AD9267. A discrete time converter
aliases signals around the sample clock frequency and its
multiples to the band of interest (see Figure 30). An external
antialias filter is needed to reject these signals.

Differential Input Configurations
Optimum performance can be achieved by driving the AD9267
in a differential input configuration. The ADA4937-2 differential
driver provides excellent performance and a flexible interface to
the ADC. The output common-mode voltage of the ADA4937-2 is
easily set by connecting AVDD to the VOCMx pin of the ADA4937-2
(see Figure 33). The noise and linearity of the ADA4937-2 needs
important consideration because the system performance may
be limited by the ADA4937-2.

To minimize thermal noise, the internal reference on the AD9267
is an unbuffered 0.5 V. It has an internal 10 kΩ series resistor,
which, when externally decoupled with a 10 μF capacitor, limits
the noise (see Figure 36). Do not use the unbuffered reference
to drive any external circuitry. The internal reference is used by
default and when Serial Register 0x18[6] is reset.
Figure 33. Differential Input Configuration Using the ADA4937-2
For frequencies offset from dc, where SNR is a key parameter,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. An example is shown in Figure 34. The center
tap of the secondary winding of the transformer is connected to
AVDD to bias the analog input.

The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting a

below a couple of megahertz (MHz), and excessive signal power
can cause core saturation, which leads to distortion.

Voltage Reference
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9267. The reference voltage should be decoupled to minimize the noise bandwidth using a 10 μF capacitor. The reference
is used to generate a bias current into a matched resistor such
that when used to bias the current in the feedback DAC, a
voltage of AVDD − 0.5 V is developed at the internal side of the
input resistors (see Figure 35). The current bias circuit should
also be decoupled on the CFILT pin with a 10 μF capacitor. For
this reason, the VREF voltage should always be 0.5 V.
The AD9267 offers two modes of sourcing the ADC sample
clock (CLK+ and CLK−). The first mode uses an on-chip clock
multiplier that accepts a reference clock operating at the lower
input frequency. The on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) then
multiplies the reference clock up to a higher frequency, which is
then used to generate all the internal clocks required by the Σ-Δ
modulator.
The clock multiplier provides a high quality clock that meets
the performance requirements of most applications. Using the
on-chip clock multiplier removes the burden of generating and
distributing the high speed clock.
Rev. 0 | Page 14 of 24
AD9267
The CLK± inputs are self-biased to 450 mV (see Figure 21); if
dc-coupled, it is important to maintain the specified 450 mV
input common-mode voltage. Each input pin can safely swing
from 200 mV p-p to 1 V p-p single-ended about the 450 mV
common-mode voltage. The recommended clock inputs are
CMOS or LVPECL.
Another option is to ac couple a differential LVPECL signal to
the sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 40. The AD951x
family of clock drivers is recommended because it offers excellent
jitter performance.

Direct Clocking
The alternative clocking option available on the AD9267 is to
apply a low frequency reference clock and use the on-chip clock
multiplier to generate the high frequency fMOD rate. The internal
clock architecture is shown in Figure 41.
CLK±
The default configuration of the AD9267 is for direct clocking
where the PLL is bypassed. Figure 38 shows one preferred
method for clocking the AD9267. A low jitter clock source is
converted from a single-ended signal to a differential signal
using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky diodes
across the secondary side of the transformer limits clock
excursions into the AD9267 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 AD9267 while
preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal, which are
critical to achieving low jitter.

In either case, using the on-chip clock multiplier to generate the
Σ-Δ modulator clock rate or directly sourcing the clock, any
deviation from 640 MHz results in a change in input bandwidth.

In either case, when using the on-chip clock multiplier or
sourcing the high speed clock directly, it is necessary that the
clock source have low jitter to maximize the Σ-Δ modulator
noise performance. High speed, high resolution ADCs and
modulators are sensitive to the quality of the clock input. As
jitter increases, the SNR performance of the AD9267 degrades
from that specified in Table 2. The jitter inherent to the part due
to the PLL root sum squares with any external clock jitter,
thereby degrading performance. To prevent jitter from dominating
the performance of the AD9267, the input clock source should be
no greater than 1 ps rms of jitter.
If a differential clock is not available, the AD9267 can be driven
by a single-ended signal into the CLK+ terminal with the CLK−
terminal ac-coupled to ground. Figure 39 shows the circuit
configuration.
07773-054
The second mode bypasses the clock multiplier circuitry and
allows the clock to be directly sourced. This mode enables the
user to source a very high quality clock directly to the Σ-Δ
modulator. Sourcing the clock directly may be necessary in
demanding applications that require the lowest possible output
noise. Refer to Figure 18, which shows the degradation in SNR
performance for the various PLL settings.
AD9267
The reference clock, CLK±, is limited to 30 MHz to 160 MHz
when configured to use the on-chip clock multiplier. Given the
input range of the reference clock and the available multiplication factors, the fVCO is approximately 1280 MHz. This results in
the desired fMOD rate of 640 MHz with a 50% duty cycle.
The PLL of the AD9267 can be controlled through either the serial
port interface or the PLLMULTx pins. For serial port interface
control, Register 0x09 and Register 0x0A are used. Before the
PLL enable register bit (PLLENABLE) is set, the PLL multiplication factor should be programmed into Register 0x0A[5:0].
After setting the PLLENABLE bit, the PLL locks and reports a
locked state in Register 0x0A[7]. If the PLL multiplication factor
is changed, the PLL enable bit should be reset and set again.
Some common clock multiplication factors are shown in Table 8.
The recommended sequence for enabling and programming the
on-chip clock multiplier is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Apply a reference clock to the CLK± pins.
Program the PLL multiplication factor in
Register 0x0A[5:0]. See Table 8.
Enable the PLL; Register 0x09 = 04 (decimal).
External PLL Control
At power-up, the serial interface is disabled until the first serial
port access. If the serial interface is disabled, the PLLMULTx
pins control the PLL multiplication factor. The five PLLMULTx
pins (Pin 44 to Pin 48) offer all the available multiplication
factors. If all PLLMULTx pins are tied high, the PLL is disabled
and the AD9267 assumes the high frequency modulator clock
rate that is applied to the CLK± pins. Table 10 shows the relationship between PLLMULTx pins and the PLL multiplication factor.
PLL Autoband Select
The PLL VCO has a wide operating range that is covered by
overlapping frequency bands. For any desired VCO output frequency, there are multiple valid PLL band select values. The
AD9267 possesses an automatic PLL band select feature on chip
that determines the optimal PLL band setting. This feature can
be enabled by writing to Register 0x0A[6] and is the recommended configuration with the PLL clocking option.

Direct clocking
The AD9267 digital bus outputs twos complement, single data
rate, LVDS data at 640 MSPS. The output is four bits wide per
channel.
The AD9267 supports both the ANSI-644 and a reduced power
data format similar to the IEEE1596.3 standard. The default
configuration at power-up is ANSI-644. This can be changed to
a low power reduced signal option by addressing Register
0x14[7], DRVSTD.
The LVDS driver current is derived on chip and sets the output
current at each output equal to a nominal 3.5 mA for the ANSI644 standard. A 100 Ω differential termination resistor placed at
the LVDS receiver inputs result in a nominal 350 mV swing at
the receiver. In the reduced power data format, the output swing
is limited to 200 mV and the resulting output current into the
100 Ω termination is 2 mA. As a result of the reduced LVDS
voltage swing, an additional 25% digital power savings can be
achieved over the ANSI-644 standard.
POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
The AD9267 consumes 415 mW. This power consumption can
be further reduced by configuring the chip in channel powerdown, standby, or sleep mode. The low power modes turn off
internal blocks of the chip including the reference. As a result,
the wake-up time is dependent on the amount of circuitry that
is turned off. Fewer internal circuits powered down result in
proportionally shorter wake-up time. The different low power
modes are shown in Table 11. In the standby mode, all clock
related activity is disabled in addition to each channel; the
references and LVDS outputs remain powered up to ensure a
short recovery and link integrity, respectively. During sleep
mode, all internal circuits are powered down, putting the device
into its lowest power mode; the LVDS outputs are disabled.
Each ADC channel can be independently powered down or
both channels can be set simultaneously by writing to the
channel index, Register 0x05[1:0]. Additionally, if the serial
port interface is not available, each channel can be independently configured by tying the PDWNA (Pin 3) or PDWNB
(Pin 4) high.

The desired output format can be selected by addressing
Register 0x14[7], DRVSTD. The LVDSTERM bits, Register
0x15[5:4], provide either 100 Ω or 200 Ω, or no termination
at the output of the data bus. Selecting the appropriate termination resistor is important to allow maximum signal transfer and
to minimize reflections for signal integrity. This can be achieved
by selecting a termination resistor that impedance matches the
termination of the receiver.
Overrange (OR) Condition
An overrange condition can be triggered by large in-band signals
that exceed the full-scale range of the Σ-Δ modulator, or it
can be triggered by out-of-band signals gained by the transfer
characteristics of the modulator. Figure 43 shows the signal
transfer function of the Σ-Δ modulator. The modulator output
possesses out-of-band gain above 10 MHz. As a result, the input
signal may exceed full scale for input frequencies beyond 10 MHz
and the ADC may be in an overrange state. The OR±x pins
serve as indicators for the overrange condition.
The OR±x pins are synchronous outputs that are updated at the
output data rate. The pins indicate whether an overrange condition has occurred within the AD9267. Ideally, OR±x should be
latched on the falling edge of DCO± to ensure proper setup-andhold time. However, because an overrange condition typically
extends well beyond one clock cycle (that is, does not toggle at
the DCO± rate); data can usually be successfully detected on
the rising edge of DCO± or monitored asynchronously. The
user has the ability to select how the overrange condition is
reported and this is controlled through the SPI bits (AUTORST,
OR_IND1, and OR_IND2) in Register 0x111[7:5]. The two
modes of operation are normal and data valid mode.
Rev. 0 | Page 17 of 24
AD9267
In normal operation mode, the analog input can toggle the
OR±x pin for a number of clock cycles as it approaches full
scale. The OR±x pin is a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal;
therefore, as the analog input increases in amplitude, the
duration of OR±x pin toggling increases. Eventually, when the
OR±x pin is high for an extended period of time, the ADC
overloads; thus, there is little correspondence between analog
input and digital output. In this mode, the duration of the
OR±x pin can be used as a coarse indicator to the signal
amplitude at the input of the ADC. In data valid mode, the
OR±x pin remains high when there are no memory access
operations taking place, such as internal calibration or factory
memory transfer, and the inputs of the ADC are within the
operating range.
In either modes of operation, the AUTORST bit can be enabled
and this automatically resets the modulator in an overload
condition. Because the OR±x signal is a PWM signal and the
toggling of OR±x does not always indicate an overload
condition, the modulator only resets after 16 consecutive clock
cycles where OR±x remains high or if the loop filter becomes
saturated. The OR±x pin remains high until the automatic reset
has completed.
If the AD9267 is used in a system that incorporates automatic
gain control (AGC), the OR±x signals can be used to indicate
that the signal amplitude should be reduced. This may be
particularly effective for use in maximizing the signal dynamic
range if the signal includes high occurrence components that
occasionally exceed full scale by a small amount.
TIMING
The AD9267 provides latched data outputs with a latency of
seven clock cycles. The AD9267 also provides a data clock
output (DCO±) pin intended to assist in capturing the data in
an external register. The data outputs are valid on the rising
edge of DCO±, unless changed by setting Serial Register 0x16[7]
(see the Serial Port Interface (SPI) section). See Figure 2 for a
graphical timing description.

SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
additional external timing. When CSB is tied high, SPI
functions are placed in a high impedance mode.
The AD9267 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 see the AN-877 Application
Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
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 to 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.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
As summarized in Table 13, three pins define the SPI of this
ADC. The SCLK pin synchronizes the read and write data
presented to the ADC. The SDIO 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.
Data can be sent in MSB- or in LSB-first mode. MSB first is
the default setting on power-up and can be changed via the
configuration register. For more information, see the AN-877
Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.

CSB (chip select) is an active low control that gates the
read and write cycles.

AD9267
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Table 13 comprise the physical interface
between the programming device of the user and the serial port
of the AD9267. 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
such method is described in detail in the AN-812 Application
Note, MicroController-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI) Boot
Circuit.
When the SPI interface is not used, SCLK/PLLMULT0 and
SDIO/PLLMULT1 serve a dual function. When strapped to
AVDD or ground during device power-on, the pins are
associated with a specific function.

AD9267
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Depending on the application and the system architecture, this
low order filter may or may not be necessary. The signal
transfer function (STF) of a continuous time feedforward ADC
usually contains out-of-band peaks. Because these STF peaks
are typically one or two octaves above the pass-band edge, they
are not problematic in applications where the bulk of the signal
energy is in or near the pass band. However, in applications
with large far-out interferers, it is necessary to either add a filter
to attenuate these problematic signals or to allocate some of the
ADC dynamic range to accommodate them.
Figure 43 shows the normalized STF of the AD9267 CT Σ-Δ
converter. The figure shows out-of-band peaking beyond the
band edge of the ADC. Within the 10 MHz band of interest, the
STF is maximally flat with less than 0.1 dB of gain. Maximum
peaking occurs at 60 MHz with 10 dB of gain. To put this into
perspective, for a fixed input power, a 5 MHz in-band-signal
appears at −5 dBFS, a 25 MHz tone appears at −2 dBFS and
60 MHz tone at +5 dBFS. Because the maximum input to the
ADC is −2 dBFS, large out-of-band signals can quickly saturate
the system. This implies that under these conditions, the digital
outputs of the ADC no longer accurately represents the input.
Refer to the Overrange (OR) Condition section for details on
overrange detection and recovery.
15
The noise performance is normalized to a −2 dBFS in-band
signal. The AD9267 STF and NTF are flat within the band of
interest and should result in almost no change in input level and
IBN. Beyond the bandwidth of the AD9267, out-of-band
peaking adds gain to the system, therefore requiring the input
power to be scaled back to prevent in-band noise degradation.
The input power is scaled back to a point where only 3 dB of
noise degradation is allowed, therefore resulting in Figure 44.

The need for anti-alias protection often requires one or two
octaves for a transition band, which reduces the usable
bandwidth of a Nyquist converter to between 25% and 50% of
the available bandwidth. A CT Σ-Δ converter maximizes the
available signal bandwidth by forgoing the need for an
antialiasing filter because the architecture possesses inherent
antialiasing. Although a high order, sharp cutoff antialiasing
filter may not be necessary because of the unique characteristics
of the architecture, a low order filter may still be required to
precede the ADC for out-of-band signal handling.
Figure 43 shows the gain profile of the AD9267 and this can be
interpreted as the level in which the signal power should be
scaled back to prevent an overload condition. This is the
ultimate trip point and before this point is reached, the in-band
noise (IBN) slowly degrades. As a result, it is recommended that
the low-pass filter be designed to match the profile of Figure 44,
which shows the maximum input signal for a 3 dB degradation
of in-band noise. The input signal is attenuated to allow only
3 dB of noise degradation over frequency.

Referring to Figure 46, the 3 dB cutoff frequency of the lowpass Chebyshev II filter response resides at 15.75 MHz, and at
10 MHz, there is 0.43 dB of attenuation due to the sharp roll-off
of the filter. Table 15 summarizes the components and
manufacturers used to build the circuit.

In addition to matching the profile of Figure 44, group delay
and channel matching are important filter design criteria. Low
tolerance components are highly recommended for improved
channel matching, which translates to minimal degradation in
image rejection for quadrature systems.
