AD9234Data SheetGENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9234 is a dual, 12-bit, 1 GSPS/500 MSPS ADC. The down the system gain to avoid an overrange condition at the device has an on-chip buffer and sample-and-hold circuit ADC input. In addition to the fast detect outputs, the AD9234 designed for low power, small size, and ease of use. This also offers signal monitoring capability. The signal monitoring product is designed for sampling wide bandwidth analog block provides additional information about the signal being signals. The AD9234 is optimized for wide input bandwidth, digitized by the ADC. high sampling rate, excellent linearity, and low power in a small Users can configure the Subclass 1 JESD204B-based high speed package. serialized output in a variety of one-, two-, or four-lane The dual ADC cores feature a multistage, differential pipelined configurations, depending on the acceptable lane rate of the architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each receiving logic device and the sampling rate of the ADC. ADC features wide bandwidth buffered inputs supporting a Multiple device synchronization is supported through the variety of user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage SYSREF± and SYNCINB± input pins. reference eases design considerations. Each ADC data output is The AD9234 has flexible power-down options that allow internal y connected to an optional decimate by 2 block. significant power savings when desired. All of these features The AD9234 has several functions that simplify the automatic can be programmed using a 1.8 V to 3.3 V capable 3-wire SPI. gain control (AGC) function in a communications receiver. The AD9234 is available in a Pb-free, 64-lead LFCSP and is The programmable threshold detector allows monitoring of specified over the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. the incoming signal power using the fast detect output bits of This product is protected by a U.S. patent. the ADC. If the input signal level exceeds the programmable threshold, the fast detect indicator goes high. Because this threshold indicator has low latency, the user can quickly turn Rev.
