Analog Devices' AD9652 is a dual, 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with sampling speeds of up to 310 MSPS. It is designed to support demanding, high-speed signal processing applications that require exceptional dynamic range over a wide input frequency range (up to 465 MHz). Its exceptional low noise floor of −157.6 dBFS and large signal spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) performance (exceeding 85 dBFS, typical) allows low-level signals to be resolved in the presence of large signals. The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, pipelined architecture with integrated output error-correction logic. A high-performance on-chip buffer and internal voltage reference simplify the inter-face to external driving circuitry while preserving the exceptional performance of the ADC.

The AD9652 can support input clock frequencies of up to 1.24 GHz with a 1, 2, 4, and 8 integer clock divider used to generate the ADC sample clock. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle. The 16-bit output data (with an overrange bit) from each ADC is interleaved onto a single LVDS output port along with a double data rate (DDR) clock. Programming for setup and control are accomplished using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. The AD9652 is available in a 144-ball CSP_BGA and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This product is protected by pending U.S. patents.
