GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9214 is a 10-bit monolithic sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an on-chip track-and-hold circuit, and is optimized
for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use. The product
operates up to 105 MSPS conversion rate with outstanding dynamic performance over its full operating range.
The ADC requires only a single 3.3 V (2.7 V to 3.6 V) power supply
and an encode clock for full performance operation. No external
reference or driver components are required for many applications.
The digital outputs are TTL/CMOS compatible and a separate
output power supply pin supports interfacing with 3.3 V or 2.5 V
logic.
The clock input is TTL/CMOS compatible. In the power-down state,
the power is reduced to 30 mW. A gain option allows support for
either 1 V p-p or 2 V p-p analog signal input swing.
Fabricated on an advanced CMOS process, the AD9214 is available in a 28-lead surface-mount plastic package (28-SSOP) specified over the industrial temperature range −40°C to +85°C).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High Performance.
Outstanding ac performance from 65 MSPS to 105 MSPS. SNR
greater than 55 dB typical and as high as 58 dB.
2. Low Power.
The AD9214 at 285 mW consumes a fraction of the power
available in existing high-speed monolithic solutions. In sleep
mode, power is reduced to 30 mW.
3. Single Supply.
The AD9214 uses a single 3 V supply, simplifying system power
supply design. It also features a separate digital output driver
supply line to accommodate 2.5 V logic families.
4. Small Package.
The AD9214 is packaged in a small 28-lead surface-mount
plastic package (28-SSOP).

Reference Mode Select Pin for the ADC. This pin is normally connected externally to AGND, which enables the internal 1.25 V reference,
and configures REF (Pin 4) as an analog reference output pin. Connecting REFSENSE externally to AVDD disables the internal reference,
and configures REF (Pin 4) as an external reference input. In this case, the user must drive REF with a clean and accurate 1.25 V (± 5%)
reference input.
Reference input or output as configured by REFSENSE (Pin 3). When configured as an output (REFSENSE = AGND), the internal
reference (nominally 1.25 V) is enabled and is available to the user on this pin. When configured as an input (REFSENSE = AVDD), the
user must drive REF with a clean and accurate 1.25 V (± 5%) reference. This pin should be bypassed to AGND with an external 0.1 µF
capacitor, whether it is configured as an input or output.

TERMINOLOGY
Analog Bandwidth
Gain Error
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the
fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is
reduced by 3 dB.
Gain error is the difference between the measured and ideal full
scale input voltage range of the ADC.
Aperture Delay
The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the ENCODE command and the instant at which the analog input is
sampled.
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Differential Analog Input Resistance,
Differential Analog Input Capacitance, and
Differential Analog Input Impedance
Harmonic Distortion, Second
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the second
harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Harmonic Distortion, Third
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the third
harmonic component, reported in dBc.
Integral Nonlinearity
The deviation of the transfer function from a reference line measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a “best straight line” determined by
a least square curve fit.
The real and complex impedances measured at each analog input
port. The resistance is measured statically and the capacitance
and differential input impedances are measured with a network
analyzer.
The encode rate at which the SNR of the lowest analog signal
frequency drops by no more than 3 dB below the guaranteed limit.
Differential Analog Input Voltage Range
Maximum 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 degrees out of

AD9214
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9214 architecture is a bit-per-stage pipeline converter utilizing switch capacitor techniques. These stages determine the 7
MSBs and drive a 3-bit flash. Each stage provides sufficient overlap
and error correction allowing optimization of comparator accuracy.
The input buffer is differential and both inputs are internally biased.
This allows the most flexible use of ac or dc and differential or
single-ended input modes. The output staging block aligns the data,
carries out the error correction and feeds the data to output buffers.
The output buffers are powered from a separate supply, allowing
support of different logic families. During power-down, the outputs
go to a high impedance state.
DFS/GAIN
The DFS/GAIN (Data Format Select/Gain) input (Pin 2) controls
both the output data format and gain (analog input voltage range) of
the ADC. The table below describes its operation.

Encoding the AD9214
Driving the Analog Inputs
Any high-speed A/D converter is extremely sensitive to the quality
of the sampling clock provided by the user. A Track/ Hold circuit
is essentially a mixer. Any noise, distortion, or timing jitter on the
clock will be combined with the desired signal at the A/D output.
For that reason, considerable care has been taken in the design of
the ENCODE input of the AD9214, and the user is advised to give
commensurate thought to the clock source. The ENCODE input is
fully TTL/CMOS compatible, and should normally be driven directly
from a low jitter, crystal-controlled TTL/CMOS oscillator.
The analog input to the AD9214 is a differential buffer. As shown in
the equivalent circuits, each of the differential inputs is internally dc
biased at ~AVDD/3 to allow ac-coupling of the analog input signal.
The analog signal may be dc-coupled as well. In this case, the
dc load will be equivalent to ~10 kΩ to AVDD/3, and the dc commonmode level of the analog signals should be within the range of
AVDD/3 ±200 mV. For best dynamic performance, impedances at
AIN and AIN should match.
The ENCODE input is internally biased, allowing the user to ac-couple in the clock signal. The cleanest clock source is often a crystal
oscillator producing a pure sine wave. Figure 27 illustrates ac
coupling such a source to the ENCODE input.
Driving the analog input differentially optimizes ac performance,
minimizing even order harmonics and taking advantage of common-mode rejection of noise. A differential signal may be transformer-coupled, as illustrated in Figure 28, or driven from a high-performance differential amplifier such as the AD8138 illustrated in
Figure 29.
Figure 27. AC-Coupled Encode Circuit
Reference Circuit
The reference circuit of the AD9214 is configured by REFSENSE
(Pin 3). By externally connecting REFSENSE to AGND, the ADC
is configured to use the internal reference (~1.25 V), and the REF
pin connection (Pin 4) is configured as an output for the internal
reference voltage.
Figure 28. Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion Using a Transformer
Special care was taken in the design of the analog input section
of the AD9214 to prevent damage and corruption of data when the
input is overdriven. The optimal input range is 1.0 V p-p, but the
AD9214 can support a 2.0 V p-p input range with some degradation
in performance (see Table 8).
If REFSENSE is externally connected to AVDD, the ADC is configured to use an external reference. In this mode, the REF pin is
configured as a reference input, and must be driven by an external
1.25 V reference.
In either configuration, the analog input voltage range (either 1
V p-p or 2 V p-p as determined by DFS/Gain) will track the
reference voltage linearly, and an external bypass capacitor should
be connected between REF and AGND to reduce noise on the
reference. In practice, no appreciable degradation in performance
occurs when an external reference is adjusted ±5%.

AD9214
THEORY OF OPERATION
POWER SUPPLIES
LAYOUT INFORMATION
The AD9214 has two power supplies, AVDD and DrVDD. AVDD and
AGND supply power to all the analog circuitry, the inputs and the
internal timing and digital error correction circuits. AVDD supply
current will vary slightly with encode rate, as noted in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section.
The schematic of the evaluation board (Figure 30) represents a
typical implementation of the AD9214. A multilayer board is recommended to achieve best results. It is highly recommended that high
quality, ceramic chip capacitors be used to decouple each supply
pin to ground directly at the device. The pinout of the AD9214
facilitates ease of use in the implementation of high frequency,
high resolution design practices. All of the digital outputs and their
supply and ground pin connections are segregated to one side
of the package, with the inputs on the opposite side for isolation
purposes.
DrVDD and DGND supply only the CMOS digital outputs, allowing
the user to adjust the voltage level to match downstream logic.
DrVDD current will vary depending on the voltage level, external
loading capacitance, and the encode frequency. Designs that minimize external load capacitance will reduce power consumption
and reduce supply noise that may affect ADC performance. The
maximum DrVDD current can be calculated as
IDrVDD = VDrVDD × CLOAD × fencode × N
where N is the number of output bits, 10 in the case of the AD9214.
This maximum current is for the condition of every output bit
switching on every clock cycle, which can only occur for a full-scale
square wave at the Nyquist frequency, fENCODE /2. In practice,
IDrVDD will be the average number of output bits switching, which
will be determined by the encode rate and the characteristics of
the analog input signal. The performance curves section provides
a reference of IDrVDD versus encode rate for a 10.3 MHz sine wave
driving the analog input.
Both power supply connections should be decoupled to ground at
or near the package connections, using high quality, ceramic chip
capacitors. A single ground plane is recommended for all ground
(AGND and DGND) connections.
The PWRDN control pin configures the AD9214 for a sleep mode
when it is logic HIGH. PWRDN floats logic LOW for normal operation. In sleep mode, the ADC is not active, and will consume less
power. When switching from sleep mode to normal operation, the
ADC will need ~15 clock cycles to recover to valid output data.
Digital Outputs
Care must be taken when designing the data receivers for the
AD9214. It is recommended that the digital outputs drive a series
resistor (for example, 100 Ω) followed by a gate like the 74LCX821.
To minimize capacitive loading, there should be only one gate on
each output pin. An example of this is shown in the evaluation
board schematic in Figure 30. The series resistors should be placed
as close to the AD9214 as possible to limit the amount of current
that can flow into the output stage. These switching currents are
confined between ground (DGND) and the DrVDD pins. Standard
TTL gates should be avoided since they can appreciably add to
the dynamic switching currents of the AD9214. It should also be
noted that extra capacitive loading will increase output timing and
invalidate timing specifications. Digital output timing is guaranteed
with 10 pF loads.
analog.com
Care should be taken when routing the digital output traces. To
prevent coupling through the digital outputs into the analog portion
of the AD9214, minimal capacitive loading should be placed on
these outputs. It is recommended that a fan-out of only one gate
should be used for all AD9214 digital outputs.
The layout of the encode circuit is equally critical. Any noise
received on this circuitry will result in corruption in the digitization
process and lower overall performance. The Encode clock must be
isolated from the digital outputs and the analog inputs.
EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9214 evaluation board offers designers an easy way to evaluate device performance. The user must supply an analog input
signal, encode clock reference, and power supplies. The digital
outputs of the AD9214 are latched on the evaluation board, and are
available with a data ready signal at a 40-pin edge connector. Refer
to the evaluation board and Schematic sections, and Table 11.
Power Connections
Power to the board is supplied via three detachable, 4-pin power
strips (U4, U9, and U10). These 12 pins should be driven as
outlined in the Table 9.

the user must connect the REFSENSE pin to VCC by removing the

jumper block connecting E25 to E26, and placing it between E19
and E24. In this configuration, an external 1.25 V reference must be
connected to jumper connection E23. Jumper connections E19 to
E21, E24, and resistors R13 to R14 are omitted at assembly, and
not used in the evaluation of the AD9214.
Gain/Data Format
The evaluation board is assembled with the DFS/GAIN pin connected to ground; this configures the AD9214 for a 1 V p-p analog input
range, and offset binary data format. The user may remove this
jumper and replace it to make one of the connections described
in the table below to configure the AD9214 for different gain and
output data format options.

replacing it between E3 and E2. In this configuration, capacitor C2
stabilizes the self-bias of AIN, and resistor R2 provides a matched
impedance for a 50 Ω source at J1.
Transformer T1 can be bypassed by moving the jumper normally
between E40 and E38 to connect E40 to E37, and moving the
jumper normally between E39 and E10 to connect E7 to E10.
In this configuration, the analog input of the AD9214 is driven
single ended, directly from J1; and R3 (normally omitted) should be
installed to terminate any cable connected to J1.
Using the AD8138
An optional driver circuit for the analog input, based on the AD8138
differential amplifier, is included in the layout of the AD9214 evaluation board. This portion of the evaluation circuit is not populated
when the board is manufactured, but can be easily be added by the
user. Resistors R5, R16, R18, and R25 are the feedback network
that sets the gain of the AD8138. Resistors R23 and R24 set the
common-mode voltage at the output of the op amp. Resistors R27
and R28, and capacitor C15, form a low-pass filter at the output of
the AD8138, limiting its noise contribution into the AD9214.
The evaluation board is configured at assembly so that the PWRDN
input floats low for normal operating condition. The user may add
a jumper between option holes E5 and E6 to connect PWRDN to
AVCC, configuring the AD9214 for power-down mode.
Once the drive circuit is populated, the user should remove the
jumper block normally between E40 and E38, and place it between
E40 and E41. This will ac-couple the analog input signal from SMB
connector J1 to the AD8138 drive circuit. The user will also need to
remove the jumper blocks that normally connect E39 to E10 and E1
to E3 to remove transformer T1 from the circuit.
Encode Signal and Distribution
DAC Reconstruction Circuit
The encode input signal should drive SMB connector J5, which
has an on-board 50 Ω termination. A standard CMOS compatible
pulse source is recommended. Alternatively, the user can adjust
the dc level of an ac-coupled clock source by adding resistor R11,
normally omitted. J5 drives the AD9214 ENCODE input and one
gate of U12, which buffers and distributes the clock signal to the
on-board latch (U3), the reconstruction DAC (U11), and the output
data connector (U2). The board comes assembled with timing
options optimized for the DAC and latch; the user may invert the
DR signal at Pin 37 of edge connector U2 by removing the jumper
block between E34 and E35, and reinstalling it between E35 and
E36.
The data available at output connector U2 is also reconstructed
by DAC U11, the AD9752. This 12-bit, high-speed digital-to-analog
converter is included as a tool in setting up and debugging the evaluation board. It should not be used to measure the performance
of the AD9214, as its performance will not accurately reflect the
performance of the ADC. The DAC’s output, available at J2, will
drive 50 Ω. The user can add a jumper block between E8 and E9 to
activate the SLEEP function of the DAC.
Power-Down
Analog Input
The analog input signal is connected to the evaluation board by
SMB connector J1. As configured at assembly, the signal is ac
coupled by capacitor C10 to transformer T1. This 1:1 transformer
provides a 50 Ω termination for connector J1 via 25 Ω resistors R1
and R4. T1 also converts the signal at J1 into a differential signal
for the analog inputs of the AD9214. Resistor R3, normally omitted,
can be used to terminate J1 if the transformer is removed.
The user can reconfigure the board to drive the AD9214 singleendedly by removing the jumper block between E1 and E3, and
