Differential Analog Input Voltage Range Minimum Conversion Rate 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 input’s phase 180° and again taking the peak measurement. The difference is then computed between both peak measurements.

The deviation of any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) Calculated from the measured SNR based on the equation ENOB = Noise (for Any Range within the ADC) SNR MEASURED − 1.76dB 6.02 Calculated as follows: Clock Pulsewidth/Duty Cycle Pulsewidth high is the minimum amount of time the ENCODE pulse should be left in Logic 1 state to achieve rated performance; pulsewidth low is the minimum time the Clock pulse should be left in low state.

PrE | Page 13 of 21 AD9230 Preliminary Technical Data THEORY OF OPERATION provide band limiting of the input signal. The AD9230 architecture consists of a front-end sample and hold amplifier (SHA) followed by a pipelined switched capacitor ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into a final 12-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined 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. 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. The input stage contains a differential SHA that can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes. The outputstaging 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. ANALOG INPUT AND VOLTAGE REFERENCE The analog input to the AD9230 is a differential buffer. For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving VIN+ and VIN– should be matched such that common mode settling errors are symmetrical. The analog input is optimized to provide superior wideband performance and requires that the analog inputs be driven differentially. SNR and SINAD performance degrades significantly if the analog input is driven with a single-ended signal. Differential Input Configurations Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD9230 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 to AVDD/2+0.5V, and the driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to 499 Ω AVDD 33 Ω 499 Ω VIN+ AD8138 0.1μF 20pF AD9230 33 Ω 523 Ω VIN – CML 499 Ω 05491-004 Figure 14. Differential Input Configuration Using the AD8138 At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the true performance of the AD9230. This is especially true in IF under-sampling applications where frequencies in the 70 MHz to 100 MHz range are being sampled. For these applications, differential transformer coupling is the recommended input configuration. 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 also cause core saturation, which leads to distortion. In any configuration, the value of the shunt capacitor, C, is dependent on the input frequency and may need to be reduced or removed. 33Ω 1.25V p-p 10pF 49.9Ω 33Ω A wideband transformer, such as Mini-Circuits’ ADT1-1WT, can provide the differential analog inputs for applications that require a single-ended-to-differential conversion. Both analog inputs are self-biased by an on-chip resistor divider to a nominal 1.3 V. An internal differential voltage reference creates positive and negative reference voltages that define the 1.25Vp-p fixed span of the ADC core. This internal voltage reference can be adjusted by means of SPI control. See SPI control section for more details. 49.9 Ω 1V p-p VIN+ AD9230 VIN– 0.1μF 05491-005 Figure 15. Differential Transformer—Coupled Configuration Single-Ended Input Configuration A single-ended input can provide adequate performance in cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, SFDR and distortion performance degrade due to the large input common-mode swing. However, if the source impedances on each input are matched, there should be little effect on SNR performance. Figure 16 details a typical single-ended input configuration. Rev.

Single-Ended Input Configuration using SPI enabled CML function 150Ω CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS For optimum performance, the AD9230 the sample clock inputs (CLK+ and CLK-) should be clocked with a differential signal. This signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK- pins via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally and require no additional bias (See Figure X). AVDD 1.2V CLK- CLK+ 2pF 2pF Figure .Equivalent Clock Input Circuit Figure X shows one preferred method for clocking the AD9230. The clock source (low jitter) is converted from single-ended to differential using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer secondary limit clock excursions into the AD9230 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 AD9230 while preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal, which are critical to a low jitter performance. CLK+ Clock Source AD9230 CLK- Figure X. Transformer Coupled Differential Clock If a low jitter clock is available, another option is to ac-couple a differential PECL signal to the sample clock input pins as shown in Figure X. The AD9512 (or same family) from offers excellent jitter performance. Rev. PrE | Page 15 of 21 Figure X. Differential PECL Sample Clock AD9230 Preliminary Technical Data Clock Input Considerations 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. The AD9230 contains a DCS (duty cycle stabilizer) that retimes the non-sampling 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 AD9230. Noise and distortion performance are nearly flat for a wide range duty cycles with the DCS on. The duty cycle stabilizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to create the non-sampling edge. As a result, any changes to the sampling frequency require approximately TBD clock cycles to allow the DLL to acquire and lock to the new rate. AD9230. 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. POWER DISSIPATION AND POWER DOWN MODE As shown in Figure 18 and Figure 20, the power dissipated by the AD9230 is proportional to its sample rate. The digital power dissipation does not vary much because it is determined primarily by the DRVDD supply and bias current of the LVDS output drivers. Jitter Considerations High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input frequency (fINPUT) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be calculated by π SNR = 20 log ⎡⎢ f INPUT × t J ⎤⎥ ⎣2 ⎦ In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the rootmean square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input, analog input signal, and ADC aperture jitter specification. IF under-sampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter, see Figure 17. Figure 18.

PrE | Page 16 of 21 Preliminary Technical Data AD9230 The format of the output data is offset binary. An example of the output coding format can be found in Table 7. Table 7.

Figure 20. AD9230-250, Supply Current vs. fSAMPLE for fIN = 10.3 MHz By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9230 is placed in standby mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates 1 mW even if the CLK and analog inputs are static. During standby, the output drivers are placed in a high impedance state. Reasserting the PDWN pin low returns the AD9230 into its normal operational mode. An additional stand by mode is supported by means of varying the clock input. When the clock rate falls below 20MHz, the AD9230 will assume a standby state. In this case, the biasing network and internal reference remain on but digital circuitry is powered down. Upon reactivating the clock, the AD9230 will resume normal operation after allowing for the pipeline latency. Out-of-Range (OTR) An out-of-range condition exists when the analog input voltage is beyond the input range of the ADC. OTR is a digital output that is updated along with the data output corresponding to the particular sampled input voltage. Thus, OTR has the same pipeline latency as the digital data. OTR is low when the analog input voltage is within the analog input range and high when the analog input voltage exceeds the input range as shown in Figure 21. OTR will remain high until the analog input returns to within the input range and another conversion is completed. By logically AND-ing OTR with the MSB and its complement, over-range high or under-range low conditions can be detected. DIGITAL OUTPUTS The AD9228’s differential outputs conform to the ANSI-644 LVDS standard on default power up. 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 at the receiver. Figure 21. OTR Relation to Input Voltage and Output Data The AD9230’s LVDS outputs facilitate interfacing with LVDS receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs that have LVDS capability 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. It is recommended to keep the trace length no longer than 12 inches and to keep differential output traces close together and at equal lengths. TIMING The AD9230 provides latched data outputs with a pipeline delay of five clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation delay (tPD) after the rising edge of the clock signal. Rev. PrE | Page 17 of 21 AD9230 Preliminary Technical Data The length of the output data lines and loads placed on them should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9230. These transients can degrade the converter’s dynamic performance. The AD9230 also provides data clock output (DCO) intended for capturing the data in an external register. The data outputs are valid on the rising edge of DCO. Spec Name Meaning tDS Setup time between data and rising edge of SCLK tDH Hold time between data and rising edge of SCLK tCLK Period of the clock The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9230 is 40 MSPS. At clock rates below 1 MSPS, the AD9230 will assume standby mode. tS Setup time between CSB and SCLK tH Hold time between CSB and SCLK RBIAS tHI Minimum period that SCLK should be in a logic high state tLO Minimum period that SCLK should be in a logic low state The AD9230 requires the user to place a 10KΩ resistor between the RBIAS pin and ground. This resister should have a 1% tolerance, and is used to set the master current reference of the ADC core. AD9230 CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI The AD9230 serial port interface allows the user to configure the converter for specific functions or operations through a structured register space inside the ADC. This gives the user added flexibility to customize device operation depending on the application. Addresses are accessed (programmed or read back) serially in one-byte words. Each byte may be further divided down into fields which are documented in the Memory Map Section below. There are three pins that define the serial port interface or SPI to this particular ADC. They are the SPI SCLK / DFS, SPI SDIO / DCS, and CSB pins. The SCLK/DFS (serial clock) is used to synchronize the read and write data presented the ADC.. The SDIO / DCS (serial data input/output) is a dual purpose pin that allows data to be sent and read from the internal ADC memory map registers. The CSB or chip select bar is an active low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles. See Table X. During an instruction phase a 16bit instruction is transmitted. Data then follows the instruction phase and is determined by the W0 and W1 bits which is 1 or more bytes of data. All data is composed of 8bit words. The first bit of each individual byte of serial data indicates whether this is a read or write command. This allows the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to change direction from an input to an output. Data may be sent in MSB or in LSB first mode. MSB first is default on power up and may be changed by changing the configuration register. For more information about this feature and others see SPI Doc at www.analog.com. Table X. Serial Port Pins Pin SCLK SDIO CSB RESET Function SCLK (Serial Clock) is the serial shift clock in. SCLK is used to synchronize 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 active low controls that gates the read and write cycles. Master device reset. When asserted, device assumes default settings. 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 X and Table X. Table X. SPI Timing Diagram specifications Rev. PrE | Page 18 of 21 Preliminary Technical Data AD9230 HARDWARE INTERFACE The pins described in Table X comprise the physical interface between the user’s programming device and the serial port of the AD9230. All serial pins are inputs, which is an open-drain output and should be tied to an external pull-up or pull-down resistor (suggested value 10 kΩ). This interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either PROMS or PIC mirocontrollers as well. This provides the user to use an alternate method to program the ADC other than a SPI controller. If the user chooses to not use the SPI interface, some pins serve a dual function and are associated with a specific function when strapped externally to AVDD or ground during device power on. The section below describes the strappable functions supported on the AD9230. AD9230 CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI SPI SDIO / DCS SPI SCLK / DFS All locations marked as “open” are currently not supported for this particular device. When required, these locations should be written with 0s. Writing to these locations is required only when part of an address location is open (for example, Address 0x14). If the whole address location is open (for example, Address 0x13), then this address location does not need to be written. DEFAULT VALUES Table 6. Mode Selection External Voltage AVDD AGND AVDD AGND Starting from the right hand column, the memory map register in Table X documents the default hex value for each hex address shown. The column with the heading Byte 7 (MSB) is the start of the default hex value giving. For example, hex address 0x14, flex_output_phase has a hex default value of 00h. 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 90deg relative to the Nominal DCO edge and 180deg relative to the data edge. For more information on this function and others consult the SPI Doc at www.analog.com. OPEN LOCATIONS In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers, the SPI SDIO / DCS and SPI SCLK / DFS pins can alternately 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 duty cycle stabilizer. In this mode the SPI CSB chip select should be connected to AVDD, which will disable the serial port interface.

The flexible ADC functions register map is product specific. Configuration Duty Cycle Stabilizer Enabled Duty Cycle Stabilizer Disabled 2’s Complement Enabled Offset Binary Enabled READING THE MEMORY MAP TABLE Each row in the memory map table has eight address locations. The memory map is roughly divided into four sections: chip Coming out of reset, some of the address locations (but not all) are loaded with default values. The default values for the registers are given in the Table X. LOGIC LEVELS An explanation of various registers, “bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or “writing Logic 1 for the bit.” Similarly “clear a bit” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or “writing Logic 0 for the bit.” Figure X.
