The ADC3564 device is a low-noise, ultra-low power,
14-bit, 125-MSPS, high-speed ADC. Designed for
low power consumption, the device delivers a noise
spectral density of –156 dBFS/Hz combined with
excellent linearity and dynamic range. The ADC3564
offers IF sampling support which makes the device
suited for a wide range of applications. High-speed
control loops benefit from the short latency of as little
as one clock cycle. The ADC consumes only 137 mW
at 125 MSPS, and the power consumption scales well
with lower sampling rates.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The ADC3564 is a low noise, ultra-low power 14-bit 125 MSPS high-speed ADC. It offers DC precision together
with IF sampling support which makes it suited for a wide range of applications. The ADC3564 is equipped with
an on-chip internal reference option but it also supports the use of an external, high precision 1.6 V voltage
reference or an external 1.2 V reference which is buffered and gained up internally. Because of the inherent
low latency architecture, the digital output result is available after only one clock cycle. Single ended as well as
differential input signaling is supported.
Note
The ADC3564 supports the following sampling rates:
• External Reference: 10 to 125 MSPS
• Internal Reference: 100 to 125 MSPS
An optional, programmable digital down converter enables external anti-alias filter relaxation as well as output
data rate reduction. The digital filter provides a 32-bit programmable NCO and supports both real or complex
decimation.
The ADC3564 uses a serial LVDS (SLVDS) interface to output the data which minimizes the number of digital
interconnects. The device supports a two-lane (2-wire), a one-lane (1-wire) and a half-lane (1/2-wire) option. The
ADC3564 includes a digital output formatter which supports output resolutions from 14 to 20-bit.
The device features and control options can be set up either through pin configurations or via SPI register writes.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Analog Input
The analog inputs of ADC3564 are intended to be driven differentially. Both AC coupling and DC coupling of the
analog inputs is supported. The analog inputs are designed for an input common mode voltage of 0.95 V which
must be provided externally on each input pin. DC-coupled input signals must have a common mode voltage that
meets the device input common mode voltage range.
The equivalent input network diagram is shown in Figure 8-1. All four sampling switches, on-resistance shown in
red, are in same position (open or closed) simultaneously.

8.3.1.2 Analog Front End Design
The ADC3564 is an unbuffered ADC and thus a passive kick-back filter is recommended to absorb the glitch
from the sampling operation. Depending on if the input is driven by a balun or a differential amplifier with low
output impedance, a termination network may be needed. Additionally a passive DC bias circuit is needed in
AC-coupled applications which can be combined with the termination network.
8.3.1.2.1 Sampling Glitch Filter Design
The front end sampling glitch filter is designed to optimize the SNR and HD3 performance of the ADC. The filter
performance is dependent on input frequency and therefore the following filter designs are recommended for
different input frequency ranges as shown in Figure 8-4 and Figure 8-5.

8.3.1.2.2 Analog Input Termination and DC Bias
Depending on the input drive circuitry, a termination network and/or DC biasing needs to be provided.
8.3.1.2.2.1 AC-Coupling
The ADC3564 requires external DC bias using the common mode output voltage (VCM) of the ADC together
with the termination network as shown in Figure 8-6. The termination is located within the glitch filter network.
When using a balun on the input, the termination impedance has to be adjusted to account for the turns ratio of
the transformer. When using an amplifier, the termination impedance can be adjusted to optimize the amplifier
performance.

8.3.1.2.2.2 DC-Coupling
In DC coupled applications the DC bias needs to be provided from the fully differential amplifier (FDA) using
VCM output of the ADC as shown in Figure 8-7. The glitch filter in this case is located between the anti-alias filter
and the ADC. No termination may be needed if amplifier is located close to the ADC or if the termination is part
of the anti-alias filter.

8.3.2 Clock Input
In order to maximize the ADC SNR performance, the external sampling clock should be low jitter and differential
signaling with a high slew rate. This is especially important in IF sampling applications. For less jitter sensitive
applications, the ADC3564 provides the option to operate with single ended signaling which saves additional
power consumption.
8.3.2.1 Single Ended vs Differential Clock Input
The ADC3564 can be operated using a differential or a single ended clock input where the single ended clock
consumes less power consumption. However clock amplitude impacts the ADC aperture jitter and consequently
the SNR. For maximum SNR performance, a large clock signal with fast slew rates needs to be provided.
•
•
Differential Clock Input: The clock input can be AC coupled externally. The ADC3564 provides internal
biasing for that use case.
Single Ended Clock Input: This mode needs to be configured using SPI register (0x0E, D2 and D0) or with
the REFBUF pin. In this mode there is no internal clock biasing and thus the clock input needs to be DC
coupled around a 0.9V center. The unused input needs to be AC coupled to ground.

8.3.3 Voltage Reference
The ADC3564 provides three different options for supplying the voltage reference to the ADC. An external 1.6
V reference can be directly connected to the VREF input; a voltage 1.2 V reference can be connected to the
REFBUF input using the internal gain buffer or the internal 1.2V reference can be enabled to generate a 1.6 V
reference voltage. For best performance, the reference noise should be filtered by connecting a 10 uF and a 0.1
uF ceramic bypass capacitor to the VREF pin. The internal reference circuitry of the ADC3564 is shown in Figure
8-9.
Note
The voltage reference mode can be selected using SPI writes or by using the REFBUF pin (default) as
a control pin (Section 8.5.1). If the REFBUF pin is not used for configuration, the REFBUF pin should
be connected to AVDD (even though the REFBUF pin has a weak internal pullup to AVDD) and the
voltage reference option has to be selected using the SPI interface.

8.3.3.2 External voltage reference (VREF)
For highest accuracy and lowest temperature drift, the VREF input can be directly connected to an external 1.6 V
reference. A 10 uF and a 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor (CVREF) connected between the VREF and REFGND
pins and placed as close to the pins as possible is recommended. The load current from the external reference
is about 1 mA.
Note
The internal reference is also used for other functions inside the device, therefore the reference
amplifier should only be powered down in power down state but not during normal operation.

between the VREF and REFGND pins and a 10 uF and a 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor between the
REFBUF and REFGND pins are recommended. Both capacitors should be placed as close to the pins as
possible. The load current from the external reference is less than 100 uA.

8.3.4 Digital Down Converter
The ADC3564 includes an optional on-chip digital down conversion (DDC) decimation filter that can be enabled
via SPI register setting. It supports complex decimation by 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 using a digital mixer and a
32-bit numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) as shown in Figure 8-13. Furthermore it supports a mode with real
decimation where the complex mixer is bypassed (NCO should be set to 0 for lowest power consumption) and
the digital filter acts as a low pass filter.
Internally the decimation filter calculations are performed with a 20-bit resolution in order to avoid any SNR
degradation due to quantization noise. The Section 8.3.5.1 truncates to the selected resolution prior to outputting
the data on the digital interface.

8.3.4.1 DDC MUX for Dual Band Decimation
The ADC3564 includes a MUX in front of the digital decimation filter which allows the ADC to be connected to
two digital down converters (see Figure 8-14). This enables dual band complex decimation. The NCO of each
digital down converter can be tuned to an independent frequency across the Nyquist zone as illustrated in the
example in Figure 8-15. The second DDC is output using the DB0/1 SLVDS interface.

8.3.4.2 Digital Filter Operation
The complex decimation operation is illustrated with an example in Figure 8-16. First the input signal (and the
negative image) are frequency shifted by the NCO frequency as shown on the left. Next a digital filter is applied
(centered around 0 Hz) and the output data rate is decimated - in this example the output data rate FS,OUT =
FS/8 with a Nyquist zone of FS/16. During the complex mixing the spectrum (signal and noise) is split into real
and complex parts and thus the amplitude is reduced by 6-dB. In order to compensate this loss, there is a 6-dB
digital gain option in the decimation filter block that can be enabled via SPI write.

happening and only the real portion of the complex digital filter is exercised. The output data rate is decimated a decimation of 8 would result in an output data rate FS,OUT = FS/8 with a Nyquist zone of FS/16.
During the real mixing the spectrum (signal and noise) amplitude is reduced by 3-dB. In order to compensate this
loss, there is a 3-dB digital gain option in the decimation filter block that can be enabled via SPI write.

8.3.4.3 FS/4 Mixing with Real Output
In this mode, the output after complex decimation gets mixed with FS/4 (FS = output data rate in this case).
Instead of a complex output with the input signal centered around 0 Hz, the output is transmitted as a real output
at twice the data rate and the signal is centered around FS/4 (Fout/4) as illustrated in Figure 8-18.
In this example, complex decimation by 8 is used. The output data is transmitted as a real output with an output
rate of Fout = FS'/4 (FS' = ADC sampling rate). The input signal is now centered around FS/4 (Fout/4) or FS'/16.

8.3.4.4 Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and Digital Mixer
The decimation block is equipped with a 32-bit NCO and a digital mixer to fine tune the frequency placement
prior to the digital filtering. The oscillator generates a complex exponential sequence of:
ejωn (default) or e–jωn
where: frequency (ω) is specified as a signed number by the 32-bit register setting
The complex exponential sequence is multiplied with the real input from the ADC to mix the desired carrier to
a frequency equal to fIN + fNCO. The NCO frequency can be tuned from –FS/2 to +FS/2 and is processed as a
signed, 2s complement number. After programming a new NCO frequency, the MIXER RESTART register bit or
SYNC pin has to be toggled for the new frequency to get active. Additionally the ADC3564 provides the option
via SPI to invert the mixer phase.
The NCO frequency setting is set by the 32-bit register value given and calculated as:
NCO frequency = 0 to + FS/2: NCO = fNCO × 232 / FS
NCO frequency = -FS/2 to 0: NCO = (fNCO + FS) × 232 / FS
where:
• NCO = NCO register setting (decimal value)
• fNCO = Desired NCO frequency (MHz)
• FS = ADC sampling rate (MSPS)
The NCO programming is further illustrated with this example:
•
•
•
ADC sampling rate FS = 125 MSPS
Input signal fIN = 10 MHz
Desired output frequency fOUT = 0 MHz
For this example there are actually four ways to program the NCO and achieve the desired output frequency as
shown in Table 8-1.

The decimation filter responses normalized to the ADC sampling clock frequency are illustrated in Figure 8-20 to
Figure 8-29. They are interpreted as follows:
Each figure contains the filter pass-band, transition band(s) and alias or stop-band(s) as shown in Figure 8-19.
The x-axis shows the offset frequency (after the NCO frequency shift) normalized to the ADC sampling rate FS.
For example, in the divide-by-4 complex setup, the output data rate is FS / 4 complex with a Nyquist zone of FS /
8 or 0.125 × F S. The transition band (colored in blue) is centered around 0.125 × FS and the alias transition band
is centered at 0.375 × FS. The stop-bands (colored in red), which alias on top of the pass-band, are centered at
0.25 × FS and 0.5 × FS. The stop-band attenuation is greater than 85 dB.

8.3.4.6 SYNC
The PDN/SYNC pin can be used to synchronize multiple devices using an external SYNC signal. The PDN/
SYNC pin can be configured via SPI (SYNC EN bit) from power down to synchronization functionality and is
latched in by the rising edge of the sampling clock as shown in Figure 8-30.
CLK
tS,SYNC
tH,SYNC
SYNC
Figure 8-30. External SYNC timing diagram
The synchronization signal is only required when using the decimation filter - either using the SPI SYNC register
or the PDN/SYNC pin. It resets internal clock dividers used in the decimation filter and aligns the internal clocks
as well as I and Q data within the same sample. If no SYNC signal is given, the internal clock dividers is not
be synchronized, which can lead to a fractional delay across different devices. The SYNC signal also resets the
NCO phase and loads the new NCO frequency (same as the MIXER RESTART bit).
When trying to resynchronize during operation, the SYNC toggle should occur at 64*K clock cycles, where K is
an integer. This provids the phase continuity of the clock divider.

8.3.5 Digital Interface
The serial LVDS interface supports the data output with 2-wire, 1-wire and 1/2-wire operation. The actual data
output rate depends on the output resolution and number of lanes used.
The ADC3564 requires an external serial LVDS clock input (DCLKIN), which is used to transmit the data out of
the ADC along with the data clock (DCLK). The phase relationship between DCLKIN and the sampling clock is
irrelevant but both clocks need to be frequency locked. The SLVDS interface is configured using SPI register
writes.
8.3.5.1 Output Formatter
The digital output interface utilizes a flexible output bit mapper as shown in Figure 8-33. The bit mapper takes
the 14-bit output directly from the ADC or from digital filter block and reformats it to a resolution of 14, 16,
18 or 20-bit. The output serialization factor gets adjusted accordingly for 2-, 1- and 1/2-wire interface modes.
The maximum SLVDS interface output data rate can not be exceeded independent of output resolution or
serialization factor.
When using a higher resolution like 16-bit output for example in non-decimation mode, the 2 LSBs are set to 0.

Table 8-5 provides an overview for the resulting serialization factor depending on output resolution and output
modes. Note that the DCLKIN frequency needs to be adjusted accordingly as well. Changing the output
resolution to 16-bit, 2-wire mode for example would result in DCLKIN = FS * 4 instead of * 3.5.
The output bit mapper can be used for bypass and decimation filter.

It is a two step process to change the output bit mapping and assemble the output data bus:
1. Both channel A and B can have up to 20-bit output. Each output bit of either channel has a unique identifier
bit as shown in Table 8-6. The MSB starts with bit D19 – depending on output resolution chosen the LSB
would be D6 (14-bit) to D0 (20-bit). The previous sample is only needed in 2-w mode.
2. The bit mapper is then used to assemble the output sample. The following sections detail how to remap the
serial output format.

In the serial output mode, a data bit (with unique identifier) needs to be assigned to each location within the
serial output stream. There are a total of 40 addresses available per channel. Channel A spans from address
0x39 to 0x60 and channel B from address 0x61 to 0x88. When using complex decimation, the output bit mapper
is applied to both the “I” and the “Q” sample.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Normal operation
In normal operating mode, the entire ADC full scale range gets converted to a digital output with 14-bit
resolution. The output is available in as little as 1 clock cycle with 1-wire SLVDS interface.
8.4.2 Power Down Options
A global power down mode can be enabled via SPI as well as using the power down pin (PDN/SYNC). There is
an internal pull-down 21 kΩ resistor on the PDN/SYNC input pin and the pin is active high - so the pin needs to
be pulled high externally to enter global power down mode.
The SPI register map provides the capability to enable/disable individual blocks directly or via PDN pin mask in
order to trade off power consumption vs wake up time as shown in Table 8-9.

8.5 Programming
The device is primarily configured and controlled using the serial programming interface (SPI) however it can
operate in a default configuration without requiring the SPI interface. Furthermore the power down function as
well as internal/external reference configuration is possible via pin control (PDN/SYNC and REFBUF pin).
Note
The power down command (via PIN or SPI) only goes in effect with the ADC sampling clock present.
After initial power up, the default operating configuration is shown in Table 8-10.

8.5.1 Configuration using PINs only
The ADC voltage reference can be selected using the REFBUF pin. Even though there is an internal 100 kΩ
pull-up resistor to AVDD, the REFBUF pin should be set to a voltage externally and not left floating.
When using a voltage divider to set the REFBUF voltage (R1 and R2 in Table 8-11), resistor values < 5 kΩ
should be used.

8.5.2 Configuration using the SPI interface
The device has a set of internal registers that can be accessed by the serial interface formed by the SEN (serial
interface enable), SCLK (serial interface clock) and SDIO (serial interface data input/output) pins. Serially shifting
bits into the device is enabled when SEN is low. Serial data input are latched at every SCLK rising edge when
SEN is active (low). The serial data are loaded into the register at every 24th SCLK rising edge when SEN is low.
When the word length exceeds a multiple of 24 bits, the excess bits are ignored. Data can be loaded in multiples
of 24-bit words within a single active SEN pulse. The interface can function with SCLK frequencies from 12 MHz
down to very low speeds (of a few hertz) and also with a non-50% SCLK duty cycle.

8.5.2.1 Register Write
The internal registers can be programmed following these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Drive the SEN pin low
Set the R/W bit to 0 (bit A15 of the 16-bit address) and bits A[14:12] in address field to 0.
Initiate a serial interface cycle by specifying the address of the register (A[11:0]) whose content is written and
Write the 8-bit data that are latched in on the SCLK rising edges

8.5.2.2 Register Read
The device includes a mode where the contents of the internal registers can be read back using the SDIO pin.
This readback mode can be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface communication between
the external controller and the ADC. The procedure to read the contents of the serial registers is as follows:
1. Drive the SEN pin low
2. Set the R/W bit (A15) to 1. This setting disables any further writes to the registers. Set A[14:12] in address
field to 0.
3. Initiate a serial interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A[11:0]) whose content must be read
4. The device launches the contents (D[7:0]) of the selected register on the SDIO pin on SCLK falling edge
5. The external controller can capture the contents on the SCLK rising edge

000
Output interface mapper. This register contains the proper
output interface bit mapping for the different interfaces. The
interface bit mapping is internally loaded from e-fuses and also
requires a fuse load command to go into effect (0x13, D0).
Register 0x07 along with the E-Fuse Load (0x13, D0) needs to
be loaded first in the programming sequence since the E-Fuse
load resets the SPI writes.
After initial reset the default output interface variant is loaded
automatically from fuse internally. However when reading back
this register reads 000 until a value is written using SPI.

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Typical Application
A spectrum analyzer is a typical frequency domain application for the ADC3564 and its front end circuitry is
very similar to several other systems such as software defined radio (SDR), radar or communications. Some
applications require frequency coverage including DC or near DC so it’s included in this example.

9.1.1 Design Requirements
Frequency domain applications cover a wide range of frequencies from low input frequencies at or near DC in
the 1st Nyquist zone to undersampling in higher Nyquist zones. If very low input frequency is supported then the
input has to be DC coupled and the ADC driven by a fully differential amplifier (FDA). If low frequency support is
not needed then AC coupling and use of a balun may be more suitable.
The internal reference is used since DC precision is not needed. However the ADC AC performance is highly
dependent on the quality of the external clock source. If in-band interferers can be present then the ADC SFDR
performance will be a key care about as well. A higher ADC sampling rate is desirable in order to relax the
external anti-aliasing filter – an internal decimation filter can be used to reduce the digital output rate afterwards.

When designing the amplifier/filter driving circuit, the ADC input full-scale voltage needs to be taken into
consideration. For example, the ADC3564 input full-scale is 3.2Vpp. When factoring in ~ 1 dB for insertion loss
of the filter, then the amplifier needs to deliver close to 3.6Vpp. The amplifier distortion performance will degrade
with a larger output swing and considering the ADC common mode input voltage the amplifier may not be able

to deliver the full swing. The ADC3564 provides an output common mode voltage of 0.95V and the THS4541
for example can only swing within 250 mV of its negative supply. A unipolar 3.3 V amplifier power supply will
thus limit the maximum voltage swing to ~ 2.8Vpp. Hence if a larger output swing is required (factoring in filter
insertion loss) then a negative supply for the amplifier is needed in order to eliminate that limitation. Additionally
input voltage protection diodes may be needed to protect the ADC from over-voltage events.

The low pass filter design (topology, filter order) is driven by the application itself. However, when designing the
low pass filter, the optimum load impedance for the amplifier should be taken into consideration as well. Between
the low pass filter and the ADC input the sampling glitch filter needs to added as well as shown in Section
8.3.1.2.1. In this example the DC - 30 MHz glitch filter is selected.
9.1.2.2 Sampling Clock
Applications operating with low input frequencies (such as DC to 30 MHz) typically are less sensitive to
performance degradation due to clock jitter. The internal ADC aperture jitter improves with faster rise and fall
times (i.e. square wave vs sine wave). Table 9-4 provides an overview of the estimated SNR performance of
the ADC3564 based on different amounts of jitter of the external clock source. The SNR is estimated based on
ADC3564 thermal noise of 77 dBFS and input signal at -1dBFS.

9.2 Initialization Set Up
After power-up, the internal registers must be initialized to their default values through a hardware reset by
applying a high pulse on the RESET pin, as shown in Figure 9-6.
1. Apply AVDD and IOVDD (no specific sequence required). After AVDD is applied the internal bandgap
reference will power up and settle out in ~ 2ms.
2. Configure REFBUF pin (pull high or low even if configured via SPI later on) and apply the sampling clock.
3. Apply hardware reset. After hardware reset is released, the default registers are loaded from internal fuses
and the internal power up capacitor calibration is initiated. The calibration takes approximately 200000 clock
cycles.
4. Begin programming using SPI interface.

9.2.1 Register Initialization During Operation
If required, the serial interface registers can be cleared and reset to default settings during operation either:
•
•
through a hardware reset or
by applying a software reset. When using the serial interface, set the RESET bit (D0 in register address 0x00)
high. This setting initializes the internal registers to the default values and then self-resets the RESET bit low.
In this case, the RESET pin is kept low.
After hardware or software reset the wait time is also ~ 200000 clock cycles before the SPI registers can be
programmed.

9.3 Power Supply Recommendations
The ADC3564 requires two different power-supplies. The AVDD rail provides power for the internal analog
circuits and the ADC itself while the IOVDD rail powers the digital interface and the internal digital circuits like
decimation filter or output interface mapper. Power sequencing is not required.
The AVDD power supply must be low noise to achieve data sheet performance. In applications operating near
DC, the 1/f noise contribution of the power supply must also be considered. The ADC is designed for good
PSRR which aides with the power supply filter design.
Figure 9-7. Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) vs Frequency
There are two recommended power-supply architectures:
1. Step down using high-efficiency switching converters, followed by a second stage of regulation using a low
noise LDO to provide switching noise reduction and improved voltage accuracy.
2. Directly step down the final ADC supply voltage using high-efficiency switching converters. This approach
provides the best efficiency, but care must be taken to make sure the switching noise is minimized to prevent
degraded ADC performance.
TI WEBENCH® Power Designer can be used to select and design the individual power-supply elements
needed: see the WEBENCH® Power Designer
Recommended switching regulators for the first stage include the TPS62821, and similar devices.
Recommended low dropout (LDO) linear regulators include the TPS7A4701, TPS7A90, LP5901, and similar
devices.
For the switch regulator only approach, the ripple filter must be designed with a notch frequency that aligns with
the switching ripple frequency of the DC/DC converter. Note the switching frequency reported from WEBENCH®
and design the EMI filter and capacitor combination to have the notch frequency centered as needed. Figure 9-8
and Figure 9-9 illustrate the two approaches.

9.4 Layout
9.4.1 Layout Guidelines
There are several critical signals which require specific care during board design:
1. Analog input and clock signals
• Traces should be as short as possible and vias should be avoided where possible to minimize impedance
discontinuities.
• Traces should be routed using loosely coupled 100-Ω differential traces.
• Differential trace lengths should be matched as close as possible to minimize phase imbalance and HD2
degradation.
2. Digital output interface
• Traces should be routed using tightly coupled 100-Ω differential traces.
3. Voltage reference
• The bypass capacitor should be placed as close to the device pins as possible and connected between
VREF and REFGND – on top layer avoiding vias.
• Depending on configuration an additional bypass capacitor between REFBUF and REFGND may be
recommended and should also be placed as close to pins as possible on top layer.
4. Power and ground connections
• Provide low resistance connection paths to all power and ground pins.
• Use power and ground planes instead of traces.
• Avoid narrow, isolated paths which increase the connection resistance.
