AD9250Data SheetGENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9250 is a dual, 14-bit ADC with sampling speeds of up By default, the ADC output data is routed directly to the two to 250 MSPS. The AD9250 is designed to support communications JESD204B serial output lanes. These outputs are at CML voltage applications where low cost, small size, wide bandwidth, and levels. Four modes support any combination of M = 1 or 2 (single versatility are desired. or dual converters) and L = 1 or 2 (one or two lanes). For dual The ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined ADC mode, data can be sent through two lanes at the maximum architecture with integrated output error correction logic. The sampling rate of 250 MSPS. However, if data is sent through ADC cores feature wide bandwidth inputs supporting a variety one lane, a sampling rate of up to 125 MSPS is supported. of user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference Synchronization inputs (SYNCINB± and SYSREF±) are provided. eases design considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings, to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing when desired. Programmable overrange level detection is the converters to maintain excellent performance. The JESD204B supported for each channel via the dedicated fast detect pins. high speed serial interface reduces board routing requirements Programming for setup and control are accomplished using a and lowers pin count requirements for the receiving device. 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. The AD9250 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Rev.
