GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9245 is a monolithic, single 3 V supply, 14-bit,
20 MSPS/40 MSPS/65 MSPS/80 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) featuring a high performance sample-andhold amplifier (SHA) and voltage reference. The AD9245 uses a
multistage differential pipelined architecture with output error
correction logic to provide 14-bit accuracy and guarantee no
missing codes over the full operating temperature range.
The wide bandwidth, truly differential SHA allows a variety of
user-selectable input ranges and common modes, including
single-ended applications. It is suitable for multiplexed systems
that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive channels and
for sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies well beyond
the Nyquist rate. Combined with power and cost savings over
previously available analog-to-digital converters, the AD9245 is
suitable for applications in communications, imaging, and
medical ultrasound.

Figure 1.
A single-ended clock input is used to control all internal conversion cycles. A duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) compensates for
wide variations in the clock duty cycle while maintaining
excellent overall ADC performance. The digital output data is
presented in straight binary or twos complement formats. An
out-of-range (OTR) signal indicates an overflow condition that
can be used with the most significant bit to determine low or
high overflow. Fabricated on an advanced CMOS process, the
AD9245 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and is specified over
the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD9245 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.
2. The patented SHA input maintains excellent performance for
input frequencies up to 100 MHz and can be configured for
single-ended or differential operation.
3. The AD9245 is pin-compatible with the AD9215, AD9235,
and AD9236. This allows a simplified migration from 10 bits
to 14 bits and 20 MSPS to 80 MSPS.
4. The clock DCS maintains overall ADC performance over a
wide range of clock pulse widths.
5. The OTR output bit indicates when the signal is beyond the
selected input range.

°C/W
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA.
In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package
leads from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power
planes reduces the θJA. It is recommended that the exposed
paddle be soldered to the ground plane for the LFCSP package.
There is an increased reliability of the solder joints, and
maximum thermal capability of the package is achieved with
the exposed paddle soldered to the customer board.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD 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 this product 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
Analog Bandwidth (Full Power Bandwidth)
The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the
fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is
reduced by 3 dB.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)1
The ratio of the rms input signal amplitude to the rms value of
the sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.
Aperture Delay (tA)
The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the clock
and the instant at which the analog input is sampled.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The effective number of bits for a sine wave input at a given
input frequency can be calculated directly from its measured
SINAD using the following formula:
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter, tJ)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
ENOB =
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
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 ½ LSB before the first code transition.
Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB beyond the last
code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of
each particular code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes)
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 14-bit resolution indicates that all 16,384
codes must be present over all operating ranges.
Offset Error
The major carry transition should occur for an analog value
½ 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 ½ LSB
above negative full scale. The last transition should occur at an
analog value 1½ LSB below the positive 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.
Temperature Drift
The temperature drift for offset error and gain error specifies
the maximum change from the initial (25°C) value to the value
at TMIN or TMAX.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio
The change in full scale from the value with the supply at the
minimum limit to the value with the supply at its maximum limit.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 1
The ratio of the rms input signal amplitude to the rms value of
the sum of the first six harmonic components.
(SINAD − 1.76 )
6.02
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)1
The ratio of the rms input signal amplitude to the rms value of
the sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)1
The difference in dB between the rms input signal amplitude
and the peak spurious signal. The peak spurious component
may or may not be a harmonic.
Two-Tone SFDR1
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.
Clock Pulse Width and Duty Cycle
Pulse width high is the minimum amount of time that the clock
pulse should be left in the Logic 1 state to achieve rated
performance. Pulse width low is the minimum time the clock
pulse should be left in the Logic 0 state. At a given clock rate,
these specifications define an acceptable clock duty cycle.
Minimum Conversion Rate
The clock rate at which the SNR of the lowest analog signal
frequency drops by no more than 3 dB below the guaranteed limit.
Maximum Conversion Rate
The clock rate at which parametric testing is performed.
Output Propagation Delay (tPD)
The delay between the clock rising edge and the time when all
bits are within valid logic levels.
Out-of-Range Recovery Time
The time it takes for the ADC to reacquire the analog input
after a transition 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.

AC specifications may be reported in dBc (degrades as signal levels are
lowered) or in dBFS (always related back to converter full scale).

THEORY OF OPERATION
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched capacitor DAC
and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The residue amplifier
magnifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output
and the flash input for the next stage in the pipeline. One bit of
redundancy is used in each stage 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
ac-coupled 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. During power-down, the output
buffers go into a high impedance state.
Referring to Figure 39, the clock signal alternately 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. In addition, a small shunt capacitor
can be placed across the inputs to provide dynamic charging
currents. This passive network creates a low-pass filter at the
ADC’s input; therefore, the precise values are dependent upon
the application. In IF undersampling applications, any shunt
capacitors should be reduced or removed. In combination with
the driving source impedance, they would limit the input
bandwidth.

Figure 39. Switched-Capacitor SHA Input
The analog input to the AD9245 is a differential switchedcapacitor SHA that has been designed for optimum performance
while processing a differential input signal. The SHA input can
support a wide common-mode range (VCM) and maintain
excellent performance, as shown in Figure 38. An input
common-mode voltage of midsupply minimizes signaldependent errors and provides optimum performance.
100
95
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN– should be matched such that common-mode
settling errors are symmetrical. These errors are reduced by the
common-mode rejection of the ADC.
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and
negative reference voltages, REFT and REFB, 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:
REFT = ½ (AVDD + VREF)

REFB = ½ (AVDD − VREF)

Span = 2 × (REFT − REFB) = 2 × VREF
The previous equations show 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.

03583-012
The AD9245 architecture consists of a front-end sample-andhold 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 into a final 14-bit result
in the digital correction logic. 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 clock.

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 is achieved with the AD9245 set
to the largest input span of 2 V p-p. The relative SNR degradation
is 3 dB when changing from 2 V p-p mode to 1 V p-p mode.

The minimum common-mode input level allows the AD9245 to
accommodate ground referenced inputs.
Although optimum performance is achieved with a differential
input, a single-ended source can be applied to VIN+ or VIN–.
In this configuration, one input accepts the signal, while the
opposite input is set to midscale by connecting it to an
appropriate reference. For example, a 2 V p-p signal can be
applied to VIN+ while a 1 V reference is applied to VIN–. The
AD9245 then accepts an input signal varying between 2 V and
0 V. In the single-ended configuration, distortion performance
can degrade significantly as compared to the differential case.
However, the effect is less noticeable at lower input frequencies.
Differential Input Configurations
As previously detailed, optimum performance is achieved while
driving the AD9245 in a differential input configuration. For
baseband applications, the AD8351 differential driver provides
excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC. The
output common-mode voltage of the AD8351 is easily set to
AVDD/2, and the driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter
topology to provide band limiting of the input signal.

The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting
a transformer. Most RF transformers 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 can provide adequate performance in
cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, there is a
degradation in SFDR and distortion performance due to the
large input common-mode swing (see Figure 13). However, if
the source impedances on each input are matched, there should
be little effect on SNR performance. Figure 42 details a typical
single-ended input configuration.

Figure 40. Differential Input Configuration Using the AD8351
At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve the
true performance of the AD9245. This is especially true in IF
undersampling applications where frequencies in the 70 MHz to
100 MHz range are being sampled. For these applications,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. The value of the shunt capacitor is dependent on
the input frequency and source impedance and should be
reduced or removed. An example is shown in Figure 41.
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals, and as a result can be sensitive
to clock duty cycle. Commonly a 5% tolerance is required on the
clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics.
The AD9245-80 and AD9245-65 contain a clock duty cycle
stabilizer (DCS) that retimes the nonsampling edge, providing an
internal clock signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows a
wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting the
performance of the AD9245. As shown in Figure 21, noise and
distortion performance is nearly flat for a 30% to 70% duty cycle
with the DCS on.
The duty cycle stabilizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to
create the nonsampling edge. As a result, any changes to the
sampling frequency require approximately 100 clock cycles to
allow the DLL to acquire and lock to the new rate.

which is determined by the sample rate and the characteristics
of the analog input signal.
JITTER CONSIDERATIONS
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality
of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input
frequency (fINPUT) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be
calculated with the following equation:
450
400
AD9245-80
SNR = −20log10[2π fINPUT × tj]
The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
where aperture jitter can affect the dynamic range of the
AD9245. 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.

Figure 44. AD9245 Power vs. Sample Rate @ 2.5 MHz
Reducing the capacitive load presented to the output drivers can
minimize digital power consumption. The data in Figure 44 was
taken with the same operating conditions as those reported in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section, and with a
5 pF load on each output driver.
By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9245 is placed in
standby mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates
1 mW if the CLK and analog inputs are static. During standby,
the output drivers are placed in a high impedance state.
Reasserting the PDWN pin low returns the AD9245 to its
normal operational mode.

POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
As shown in Figure 44, the power dissipated by the AD9245 is
proportional to its sample rate. The digital power dissipation is
determined primarily by the strength of the digital drivers and
the load on each output bit. The maximum DRVDD current
(IDRVDD) can be calculated as
I DRVDD VDRVDD C LOAD f CLK N
where N is the number of output bits, 14 in the case of the
AD9245. This maximum current occurs when every output bit
switches on every clock cycle, that is, a full-scale square wave at
the Nyquist frequency, fCLK/2. In practice, the DRVDD current
is established by the average number of output bits switching,
Low power dissipation in standby mode is achieved by shutting
down the reference, reference buffer, and biasing networks. The
decoupling capacitors on REFT and REFB are discharged when
entering standby mode and then must be recharged when
returning to normal operation. As a result, the wake-up time is
related to the time spent in standby mode, and shorter standby
cycles result in proportionally shorter wake-up times. With the
recommended 0.1 μF and 10 μF decoupling capacitors on REFT
and REFB, it takes approximately 1 second to fully discharge the
reference buffer decoupling capacitors and 7 ms to restore full
operation.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD9245 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, which can affect converter performance.
Applications requiring the ADC to drive large capacitive loads or
large fanouts can require external buffers or latches.

As detailed in Table 11, the data format can be selected for either
offset binary or twos complement.
TIMING
The AD9245 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 2 for a detailed timing diagram.
In all reference configurations, REFT and REFB drive the A/D
conversion 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.

The length of the output data lines and the loads placed on
them should be minimized to reduce transients within the
AD9245. These transients can degrade the converter’s dynamic
performance.
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9245 is 1 MSPS. At
clock rates below 1 MSPS, dynamic performance can degrade.

A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9245. The input range can be adjusted by varying the
reference voltage applied to the AD9245 using either the
internal reference or an externally applied reference voltage.
The input span of the ADC tracks reference voltage changes
linearly. The various reference modes are summarized in Table 10
and described in the following sections.
Figure 45. Internal Reference Configuration
If the internal reference of the AD9245 is used to drive multiple
converters to improve gain matching, the loading of the reference
by the other converters must be considered. Figure 46 depicts
how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading. A
2 mA load is the maximum recommended load.

A comparator within the AD9245 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference into one of four
possible states, which are summarized in Table 10. If SENSE is
grounded, the reference amplifier switch is connected to the
internal resistor divider (see Figure 45), 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 47, the switch is again set to the
SENSE pin. This puts the reference amplifier in a noninverting
mode with the VREF output defined as

EXTERNAL REFERENCE OPERATION
The use of an external reference can be necessary to enhance
the gain accuracy of the ADC or improve thermal drift characteristics. When multiple ADCs track one another, a single
reference (internal or external) can be necessary to reduce
gain matching errors to an acceptable level. Figure 48 shows
the typical drift characteristics of the internal reference in both
1.0 V and 0.5 V modes.
When the SENSE pin is tied to AVDD, the internal reference is
disabled, allowing the use of an external reference. An internal
reference buffer loads the external reference with an equivalent
7 kΩ load. The internal buffer still generates the positive and
negative full-scale references, REFT and REFB, for the ADC
core. The input span is always twice the value of the reference
voltage; therefore, the external reference must be limited to a
maximum of 1.0 V.
