GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD9238 is a dual, 3 V, 12-bit, 20 MSPS/40 MSPS/65 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter. It features dual high performance
sample-and-hold amplifiers and an integrated voltage reference.
The AD9238 uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture
with output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy and
guarantee no missing codes over the full operating temperature
range at data rates up to 65 MSPS.
1. Integrated, dual version of the AD9235—a 12-bit,
20 MSPS/40 MSPS/65 MSPS ADC.
The wide bandwidth, differential SHA allows for a variety of
user selectable input ranges and offsets including single-ended
applications. It is suitable for various applications including multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive
channels and for sampling inputs at frequencies well beyond the
Nyquist rate. The AD9238 is suitable for applications in communications, imaging, and medical ultrasound.
Dual single-ended clock inputs are used to control all internal conversion cycles. A duty cycle stabilizer is available on the AD9238-65
and can compensate for wide variations in the clock duty cycle,
allowing the converters to maintain excellent performance. The
digital output data is presented in either straight binary or twos
complement format. Out-of-range signals indicate an overflow
condition, which can be used with the most significant bit to determine low or high overflow.
Fabricated on an advanced CMOS process, the AD9238 is available in a space saving 64-lead LQFP and is specified over the
industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
2. Speed grade options of 20 MSPS, 40 MSPS, and 65 MSPS
allow flexibility between power, cost, and performance to suit
an application.
3. The AD9238 operates from a single 3 V power supply and
features a separate digital output driver supply to accommodate 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic families.
4. Low power consumption:
AD9238-20 operating at 20 MSPS consumes a low 180 mW.
AD9238-40 operating at 40 MSPS consumes a low 330 mW.
AD9238-65 operating at 65 MSPS consumes a low 600 mW.
5. The patented SHA input maintains excellent performance for
input frequencies up to 100 MHz and can be configured for
single-ended or differential operation.
6. Typical channel isolation of 80 dB @ fIN = 10 MHz.
7. The clock duty cycle stabilizer (AD9238-65 only) maintains
performance over a wide range of clock duty cycles.
8. The OTR output bits indicate when either input signal is
beyond the selected input range.
9. Multiplexed data output option enables single-port operation
from either data port A or data port B.

1
The AD9238-65 model has a duty cycle stabilizer circuit that, when enabled, corrects for a wide range of duty cycles (see TPC 20).
2
Output delay is measured from CLOCK 50% transition to DATA 50% transition, with a 5 pF load on each output.
3
Wake-up time is dependent on the value of the decoupling capacitors; typical values shown with 0.1 µF and 10 µF capacitors on REFT and REFB.

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 the AD9238 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.

TERMINOLOGY
Aperture Delay
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
Using the following formula:
Aperture delay is a measure of the sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA) performance and is measured from the rising edge of the
clock input to when the input signal is held for conversion.
ENOB = ( SINAD – 1.76) / 6.02
effective number of bits for a device for sine wave inputs at a
given input frequency can be calculated directly from its
measured SINAD.
Aperture Jitter
The variation in aperture delay for successive samples, which is
manifested as noise on the input to the A/D converter.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the rms
sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency,
excluding the first six harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels relative to the peak carrier signal (dBc).
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The
point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each particular code to the true straight line.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the input
signal and the peak spurious signal.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes)
Nyquist Sampling
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed no
missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096 codes
must be present over all operating ranges.
When the frequency components of the analog input are below
the Nyquist frequency (fCLOCK/2), this is often referred to as
Nyquist sampling.
IF Sampling
Offset Error
Due to the effects of aliasing, an ADC is not necessarily limited
to Nyquist sampling. Higher sampled frequencies will be aliased
down into the first Nyquist zone (DC – fCLOCK/2) on the output
of the ADC. Care must be taken that the bandwidth of the sampled signal does not overlap Nyquist zones and alias onto itself.
Nyquist sampling performance is limited by the bandwidth of the
input SHA and clock jitter (jitter adds more noise at higher input
frequencies).
The major carry transition should occur for an analog value
1/2 LSB below VIN+ = VIN–. Offset error is defined as the
deviation of the actual transition from that point.
Gain Error
The first code transition should occur at an analog value 1/2 LSB
above negative full scale. The last transition should occur at an
analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full scale. Gain error
is the deviation of the actual difference between first and last code
transitions and the ideal difference between first and last code
transitions.
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.
Temperature Drift
Out-of-Range Recovery Time
The temperature drift for zero error and gain error specifies the
maximum change from the initial (25°C) value to the value at
TMIN or TMAX.
Out-of-range recovery time is the time it takes for the A/D converter 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.
Power Supply Rejection
The specification shows the maximum change in full scale from
the value with the supply at the minimum limit to the value with
the supply at its maximum limit.
Crosstalk
Coupling onto one channel being driven by a (–0.5 dBFS) signal
when the adjacent interfering channel is driven by a full-scale
signal. Measurement includes all spurs resulting from both direct
coupling and mixing components.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic components
to the rms value of the measured input signal, expressed as a
percentage or in decibels relative to the peak carrier signal (dBc).
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (S/N+D, SINAD) Ratio
The ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the rms
sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency,
including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for S/N+D is
expressed in decibels relative to the peak carrier signal (dBc).

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9238 consists of two high performance analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) that are based on the AD9235 converter core.
The dual ADC paths are independent, except for a shared internal
band gap reference source, VREF. Each of the ADC’s paths consists
of a proprietary front end sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA)
followed by a pipelined switched capacitor ADC. The pipelined
ADC is divided into three sections, consisting of a 4-bit first stage
followed by eight 1.5-bit stages and a final 3-bit flash. Each stage
provides sufficient overlap to correct for flash errors in the preceding stages. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined
through the digital correction logic block into a final 12-bit result.
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 respective clock.
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC and a residual multiplier to drive the next
stage of the pipeline. The residual multiplier uses the flash ADC
output to control a switched capacitor digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) of the same resolution. The DAC output is subtracted from
the stage’s input signal and the residual is amplified (multiplied)
to drive the next pipeline stage. The residual multiplier stage is
also called a multiplying DAC (MDAC). One bit of redundancy
is used in each one of the stages 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 configured as 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.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog input to the AD9238 is a differential switched capacitor,
SHA, that has been designed for optimum performance while
processing a differential input signal. The SHA input accepts inputs
over a wide common-mode range. An input common-mode voltage
of midsupply is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
The SHA input is a differential switched capacitor circuit. In
Figure 5, the clock signal alternatively switches the SHA between
sample mode and hold mode. 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. Also, a small shunt capacitor can be placed across the inputs
to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive network will
create a low-pass filter at the ADC’s input; therefore, the precise
values are dependant on the application. In IF undersampling
applications, any shunt capacitors should be removed. In combination with the driving source impedance, they would limit the
input bandwidth. For best dynamic performance, the source
impedances driving VIN+ and VIN– should be matched such that
common-mode settling errors are symmetrical. These errors will
be reduced by the common-mode rejection of the ADC.

At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
performance of most amplifiers will not be adequate to achieve
the true performance of the AD9238. This is especially true in
IF undersampling applications where frequencies in the 70 MHz
to 200 MHz range are being sampled. For these applications,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input configuration, as shown in Figure 6.

An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and negative reference voltages, REFT and REFB, respectively, that define
the span of the ADC core. The output common-mode of the
reference buffer is set to midsupply, and the REFT and REFB
voltages and span are defined as follows:
REFT = 1/ 2 ( AVDD + VREF )
REFB = 1/ 2 ( AVDD − VREF )
Span = 2 × (REFT − REFB ) = 2 × VREF
It can be seen from the equations above that the REFT and REFB
voltages are symmetrical about the midsupply voltage and, by
definition, the input span is twice the value of the VREF voltage.
The internal voltage reference can be pin-strapped to fixed values
of 0.5 V or 1.0 V, or adjusted within the same range as discussed
in the Internal Reference Connection section. Maximum SNR
performance will be achieved with the AD9238 set to the largest
input span of 2 V p-p. The relative SNR degradation will be 3 dB
when changing from 2 V p-p mode to 1 V p-p mode.
The SHA may be driven from a source that keeps the signal
peaks within the allowable range for the selected reference voltage. The minimum and maximum common-mode input levels
are defined as follows:
VCM MIN = VREF 2
VCM MAX = (AVDD + VREF ) 2
The minimum common-mode input level allows the AD9238
to accommodate ground-referenced inputs. Although optimum
performance is achieved with a differential input, a single-ended
source may be driven into VIN+ or VIN–. In this configuration,
one input will accept the signal, while the opposite input should
be set to midscale by connecting it to an appropriate reference.
For example, a 2 V p-p signal may be applied to VIN+ while a
1 V reference is applied to VIN–. The AD9238 will then accept
an input signal varying between 2 V and 0 V. In the single-ended
configuration, distortion performance may degrade significantly
as compared to the differential case. However, the effect will be
less noticeable at lower input frequencies and in the lower speed
grade models (AD9238-40 and AD9238-20).
Differential Input Configurations
As previously detailed, optimum performance will be achieved
while driving the AD9238 in a differential input configuration.
For baseband applications, the AD8138 differential driver provides excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC.

Figure 6. Differential Transformer Coupling
The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting a
transformer. Most RF transformers will saturate at frequencies
below a few MHz, and excessive signal power can also cause core
saturation, which leads to distortion.
Single-Ended Input Configuration
A single-ended input may provide adequate performance in
cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, there will be a
degradation in SFDR and in distortion performance 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.
CLOCK INPUT AND 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 AD9238 provides separate clock inputs for each channel. The
optimum performance is achieved with the clocks operated at the
same frequency and phase. Clocking the channels asynchronously
may degrade performance significantly. In some applications, it is
desirable to skew the clock timing of adjacent channels. The AD9238’s
separate clock inputs allow for clock timing skew (typically ±1 ns)
between the channels without significant performance degradation.
The AD9238-65 contains two clock duty cycle stabilizers, one for
each converter, that retime the nonsampling edge, providing an
internal clock with a nominal 50% duty cycle (DCS is not available on the –40 MSPS or –20 MSPS versions). Input clock rates
of over 40 MHz can use the DCS so that a wide range of input
clock duty cycles can be accommodated. Maintaining a 50% duty
cycle clock is particularly important in high speed applications,
when proper track-and-hold times for the converter are required
to maintain high performance. The DCS can be enabled by tying
the DCS pin high.
The duty cycle stabilizer utilizes a delay locked loop to create the
nonsampling edge. As a result, any changes to the sampling frequency will require approximately 2 µs to 3 µs to allow the DLL
to acquire and settle to the new rate.
–13–
AD9238
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given full-scale input
frequency (fINPUT) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be calculated
with the following equation:
[
SNR degradation = 20 × log 10 1/ 2 × p × fINPUT × t J
will result in a typical power consumption of 1 mW for the ADC.
Note that if DCS is enabled, it is mandatory to disable the clock
of an independently powered-down channel. Otherwise, significant distortion will result on the active channel. If the clock
inputs remain active while in total standby mode, typical power
dissipation of 12 mW will result.
]
In the equation, the rms aperture jitter, tJ, represents the root-sumsquare of all jitter sources, which includes the clock input, analog
input signal, and ADC aperture jitter specification. Undersampling
applications are particularly sensitive to jitter.
The minimum standby power is achieved when both channels are
placed into full power-down mode (PDWN_A = PDWN_B =
HI). Under this condition, the internal references are powered
down. When either or both of the channel paths are enabled after a
power-down, the wake-up time will be directly related to the
recharging of the REFT and REFB decoupling capacitors and to
the duration of the power-down. Typically, it takes approximately
5 ms to restore full operation with fully discharged 0.1 µF and
10 µF decoupling capacitors on REFT and REFB.
For optimal performance, especially in cases where aperture jitter
may affect the dynamic range of the AD9238, it is important to
minimize input clock jitter. The clock input circuitry should use
stable references, for example using analog power and ground
planes to generate the valid high and low digital levels for the
AD9238 clock input. 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.
A single channel can be powered down for moderate power savings.
The powered-down channel shuts down internal circuits, but both
the reference buffers and shared reference remain powered. Because
the buffer and voltage reference remain powered, the wake-up
time is reduced to several clock cycles.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
The AD9238 output drivers can be configured to interface with
2.5 V or 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 power dissipated by the AD9238 is proportional to its
sampling rates. The digital (DRVDD) power dissipation is determined primarily by the strength of the digital drivers and the load
on each output bit. The digital drive current can be calculated by
IDRVDD = VDRVDD × C LOAD × fCLOCK × N
where N is the number of bits changing and CLOAD is the average
load on the digital pins that changed.
The data format can be selected for either offset binary or twos
complement. This is discussed later in the Data Format section.
The analog circuitry is optimally biased so that each speed grade
provides excellent performance while affording reduced power
consumption. Each speed grade dissipates a baseline power at low
sample rates that increases with clock frequency.
TIMING
The AD9238 provides latched data outputs with a pipeline delay
of seven clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation delay (tPD) after the rising edge of the clock signal. Refer to
Figure 1 for a detailed timing diagram.
Either channel of the AD9238 can be placed into standby mode
independently by asserting the PWDN_A or PDWN_B pins.
It is recommended that the input clock(s) and analog input(s)
remain static during either independent or total standby, which

The internal duty cycle stabilizer can be enabled on the AD9238-65
using the DCS pin. This provides a stable 50% duty cycle to
internal circuits.
The length of the output data lines and loads placed on them should
be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9238. These
transients can detract from the converter’s dynamic performance.
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9238 is 1 MSPS. At
clock rates below 1 MSPS, dynamic performance may degrade.

and offset matching performance. If the ADCs are to function
independently, the reference decoupling can be treated independently and can provide superior isolation between the dual
channels. To enable Shared Reference mode, the SHARED_REF
pin must be tied high and external differential references must
be externally shorted. (REFT_A must be externally shorted to
REFT_B and REFB_A must be shorted to REFB_B.)
Internal Reference Connection
DATA FORMAT
The AD9238 data output format can be configured for either
twos complement or offset binary. This is controlled by the Data
Format Select pin (DFS). Connecting DFS to AGND will produce offset binary output data. Conversely, connecting DFS to
AVDD will format the output data as twos complement.
The output data from the dual A/D converters can be multiplexed
onto a single 12-bit output bus. The multiplexing is accomplished
by toggling the MUX_SELECT bit, which directs channel data
to the same or opposite channel data port. When MUX_SELECT
is logic high, the Channel A data is directed to Channel A output
bus, and Channel B data is directed to the Channel B output bus.
When MUX_SELECT is logic low, the channel data is reversed, i.e.,
Channel A data is directed to the Channel B output bus and
Channel B data is directed to the Channel A output bus. By
toggling the MUX_SELECT bit, multiplexed data is available
on either of the output data ports.
A comparator within the AD9238 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference into four possible states,
which are summarized in Table I. If SENSE is grounded, the reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal resistor divider
(see Figure 8), setting VREF to 1 V. Connecting the SENSE pin to
VREF switches the reference amplifier output to the SENSE pin,
completing the loop and providing a 0.5 V reference output. If a
resistor divider is connected as shown in Figure 9, the switch will
again be set to the SENSE pin. This will put the reference amplifier in a noninverting mode with the VREF output defined as follows:
VREF = 0.5 × ( 1 + R 2 R1 )
In all reference configurations, REFT and REFB drive the ADC
core and establish its input span. The input range of the ADC
always equals twice the voltage at the reference pin for either an
internal or an external reference.
VIN+
If the ADCs are run with synchronized timing, this same clock can
be applied to the MUX_SELECT bit. After the MUX_SELECT
rising edge, either data port will have the data for its respective
channel; after the falling edge, the alternate channel’s data will be
placed on the bus. Typically, the other unused bus would be
disabled by setting the appropriate OEB high to reduce power
consumption and noise. Figure 7 shows an example of multiplex
mode. When multiplexing data, the data rate is two times the
sample rate. Note that both channels must remain active in this
mode and that each channel's power-down pin must remain low.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9238. The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference
voltage applied to the AD9238, using either the internal reference
with different external resistor configurations or an externally
applied reference voltage. The input span of the ADC tracks reference voltage changes linearly.

If the ADC is being driven differentially through a transformer,

The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance the
gain accuracy of the ADC or to improve thermal drift characteristics. When multiple ADCs track one another, a single reference
(internal or external) may be necessary to reduce gain matching
errors to an acceptable level. A high precision external reference
may also be selected to provide lower gain and offset temperature
drift. Figure 10 shows the typical drift characteristics of the internal reference in both 1 V and 0.5 V modes.
When the SENSE pin is tied to AVDD, the internal reference will
be disabled, allowing the use of an external reference. An internal
reference buffer will load the external reference with an equivalent 7 k load. The internal buffer will still generate the positive
and negative full-scale references, REFT and REFB, for the ADC
core. The input span will always be twice the value of the reference voltage; therefore, the external reference must be limited to
a maximum of 1 V.

Figure 10. Typical VREF Drift
If the internal reference of the AD9238 is used to drive multiple
converters to improve gain matching, the loading of the reference
by the other converters must be considered. Figure 11 depicts
how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading.
