Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may
degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond
those specified is not implied.
When AVDD is turned off, it is recommended to switch off the input clock (or ensure the voltage on CLKP, CLKM is less than |0.3V|).
This configuration prevents the ESD protection diodes at the clock input terminals from turning on.

Timing parameters are ensured by design and characterization and not tested in production.
CLOAD is the effective external single-ended load capacitance between each output terminal and ground
RLOAD is the differential load resistance between the LVDS output pair.
Measurements are done with a transmission line of 100 Ω characteristic impedance between the device and the load. Setup and hold
time specifications take into account the effect of jitter on the output data and clock.
Data valid refers to a logic high of +100 mV and a logic low of –100 mV.
Data valid refers to a logic high of 1.26 V and a logic low of 0.54 V
At higher frequencies, tPDI is greater than one clock period and overall latency = ADC latency + 1.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The ADS4245 is a low-speed variant of the ADS42xx ultralow-power family of dual-channel, 14-bit analog- todigital converters (ADCs). Innovative design techniques are used to achieve high-dynamic performance, while
consuming extremely low power with 1.8V supply.
The ADS4245 has gain options that can be used to improve SFDR performance at lower full-scale input ranges.
This device includes a dc offset correction loop that can be used to cancel the ADC offset.

The ADS4245 is terminal-compatible with the previous generation ADS62P49 family of data converters; this
architecture enables easy migration. However, there are some important differences between the two device
generations, summarized in Table 7-1.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Digital Functions
The device has several useful digital functions (such as test patterns, gain, and offset correction). These
functions require extra clock cycles for operation and increase the overall latency and power of the device.
These digital functions are disabled by default after reset and the raw ADC output is routed to the output data
terminals with a latency of 16 clock cycles. Figure 7-1 shows more details of the processing after the ADC. In
order to use any of the digital functions, the EN DIGITAL bit must be set to '1'. After this, the respective register
bits must be programmed as described in the following sections and in the Serial Register Map section.

7.4.2 Gain For SFDR/SNR Trade-Off
The ADS4245 includes gain settings that can be used to get improved SFDR performance (compared to no
gain). The gain is programmable from 0dB to 6dB (in 0.5dB steps). For each gain setting, the analog input fullscale range scales proportionally, as shown in Table 7-2.
The SFDR improvement is achieved at the expense of SNR; for each gain setting, the SNR degrades
approximately between 0.5dB and 1dB. The SNR degradation is reduced at high input frequencies. As a result,
the gain is very useful at high input frequencies because the SFDR improvement is significant with marginal

degradation in SNR. Therefore, the gain can be used as a trade-off between SFDR and SNR. Note that the
default gain after reset is 0dB.

7.4.3 Offset Correction
The ADS4245 has an internal offset corretion algorithm that estimates and corrects dc offset up to ±10mV. The
correction can be enabled using the ENABLE OFFSET CORR serial register bit. Once enabled, the algorithm
estimates the channel offset and applies the correction every clock cycle. The time constant of the correction
loop is a function of the sampling clock frequency. The time constant can be controlled using the OFFSET
CORR TIME CONSTANT register bits, as described in Table 7-3.
After the offset is estimated, the correction can be frozen by setting FREEZE OFFSET CORR = 0. Once frozen,
the last estimated value is used for the offset correction of every clock cycle. Note that offset correction is
disabled by default after reset.

7.4.4 Power-Down
The ADS4245 has two power-down modes: global power-down and channel standby. These modes can be set
using either the serial register bits or using the control terminals CTRL1 to CTRL3 (as shown in Table 7-4).

7.4.4.1 Global Power-Down
In this mode, the entire chip (including ADCs, internal reference, and output buffers) are powered down, resulting
in reduced total power dissipation of approximately 20mW when the CTRL terminals are used and 3mW when
the PDN GLOBAL serial register bit is used. The output buffers are in high-impedance state. The wake-up time
from global power-down to data becoming valid in normal mode is typically 100µs.
7.4.4.2 Channel Standby
In this mode, each ADC channel can be powered down. The internal references are active, resulting in a quick
wake-up time of 50µs. The total power dissipation in standby is approximately 200mW at 160MSPS.
7.4.4.3 Input Clock Stop
In addition to the previous modes, the converter enters a low-power mode when the input clock frequency falls
below 1MSPS. The power dissipation is approximately 160mW.
7.4.5 Digital Output Information
The ADS4245 provides 14-bit digital data for each channel and an output clock synchronized with the data.
7.4.5.1 Output Interface
Two output interface options are available: double data rate (DDR) LVDS and parallel CMOS. They can be
selected using the serial interface register bit or by setting the proper voltage on the SEN terminal in parallel
configuration mode.

Even data bits (D0, D2, D4, etc.) are output at the CLKOUTP rising edge and the odd data bits (D1, D3, D5, etc.)
are output at the CLKOUTP falling edge. Both the CLKOUTP rising and falling edges must be used to capture all
the data bits, as shown in Figure 7-3.

7.4.5.3 LVDS Buffer
The equivalent circuit of each LVDS output buffer is shown in Figure 7-4. After reset, the buffer presents an
output impedance of 100Ω to match with the external 100Ω termination.

NOTE: Default swing across 100Ω load is ±350mV. Use the LVDS SWING bits to change the swing.
Figure 7-4. LVDS Buffer Equivalent Circuit
The VDIFF voltage is nominally 350mV, resulting in an output swing of ±350mV with 100Ω external termination.
The VDIFF voltage is programmable using the LVDS SWING register bits from ±125mV to ±570mV.
Additionally, a mode exists to double the strength of the LVDS buffer to support 50Ω differential termination, as
shown in Figure 7-5. This mode can be used when the output LVDS signal is routed to two separate receiver
chips, each using a 100Ω termination. The mode can be enabled using the LVDS DATA STRENGTH and LVDS
CLKOUT STRENGTH register bits for data and output clock buffers, respectively.
The buffer output impedance behaves in the same way as a source-side series termination. By absorbing
reflections from the receiver end, it helps to improve signal integrity.

7.4.5.4 Parallel CMOS Interface
In the CMOS mode, each data bit is output on separate terminals as CMOS voltage level, every clock cycle, as
Figure 7-6 shows. The rising edge of the output clock CLKOUT can be used to latch data in the receiver. It is
recommended to minimize the load capacitance of the data and clock output terminals by using short traces to
the receiver. Furthermore, match the output data and clock traces to minimize the skew between them.

7.4.5.5 CMOS Interface Power Dissipation
With CMOS outputs, the DRVDD current scales with the sampling frequency and the load capacitance on every
output terminal. The maximum DRVDD current occurs when each output bit toggles between 0 and 1 every
clock cycle. In actual applications, this condition is unlikely to occur. The actual DRVDD current would be
determined by the average number of output bits switching, which is a function of the sampling frequency and
the nature of the analog input signal. This relationship is shown by the formula:
Digital current as a result of CMOS output switching = CL × DRVDD × (N × FAVG),
where CL = load capacitance, N × FAVG = average number of output bits switching.
7.4.5.6 Multiplexed Mode Of Operation
In this mode, the digital outputs of both channels are multiplexed and output on a single bus (DB[13:0]
terminals), as shown in Figure 7-7. The channel A output terminals (DA[13:0]) are in 3-state. Because the output
data rate on the DB bus is effectively doubled, this mode is recommended only for low sampling frequencies
(less than 80MSPS). This mode can be enabled using the POWER-DOWN MODE register bits or using the
CTRL[3:1] parallel terminals.

7.4.5.7 Output Data Format
Two output data formats are supported: twos complement and offset binary. The format can be selected using
the DATA FORMAT serial interface register bit or by controlling the DFS terminal in parallel configuration mode.
In the event of an input voltage overdrive, the digital outputs go to the appropriate full-scale level. For a positive
overdrive, the output code is FFFh for the ADS422x and 3FFFh for the ADS424x in offset binary output format;
the output code is 7FFh for the ADS422x and 1FFFh for the ADS424x in twos complement output format. For a
negative input overdrive, the output code is 0000h in offset binary output format and 800h for the ADS422x and
2000h for the ADS424x in twos complement output format.

7.4.6.1 Parallel Configuration Only
To put the device into parallel configuration mode, keep RESET tied high (AVDD). Then, use the SEN, SCLK,
CTRL1, CTRL2, and CTRL3 terminals to directly control certain modes of the ADC. The device can be easily
configured by connecting the parallel terminals to the correct voltage levels (as described in Table 7-5 to Table
7-8). There is no need to apply a reset and SDATA can be connected to ground.
In this mode, SEN and SCLK function as parallel interface control terminals. Some frequently-used functions can
be controlled using these terminals. Table 7-5 describes the modes controlled by the parallel terminals.

7.4.6.2 Serial Interface Configuration Only
To enable this mode, the serial registers must first be reset to the default values and the RESET terminal must
be kept low. SEN, SDATA, and SCLK function as serial interface terminals in this mode and can be used to
access the internal registers of the ADC. The registers can be reset either by applying a pulse on the RESET
terminal or by setting the RESET bit high. The Serial Register Map section describes the register programming
and the register reset process in more detail.
7.4.6.3 Using Both Serial Interface And Parallel Controls
For increased flexibility, a combination of serial interface registers and parallel terminal controls (CTRL1 to
CTRL3) can also be used to configure the device. To enable this option, keep RESET low. The parallel interface
control terminals CTRL1 to CTRL3 are available. After power-up, the device is automatically configured
according to the voltage settings on these terminals (see Table 7-8). SEN, SDATA, and SCLK function as serial
interface digital terminals and are used to access the internal registers of the ADC. The registers must first be
reset to the default values either by applying a pulse on the RESET terminal or by setting the RESET bit to '1'.
After reset, the RESET terminal must be kept low. The Serial Register Map section describes register
programming and the register reset process in more detail.
7.4.6.4 Parallel Configuration Details
The functions controlled by each parallel terminal are described in Table 7-6, Table 7-7, and Table 7-8. A simple

7.4.6.5 Serial Interface Details
The ADC 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 SDATA (serial interface data) terminals. Serial shift of bits
into the device is enabled when SEN is low. Serial data SDATA are latched at every SCLK falling edge when
SEN is active (low). The serial data are loaded into the register at every 16th SCLK falling edge when SEN is
low. When the word length exceeds a multiple of 16 bits, the excess bits are ignored. Data can be loaded in
multiples of 16-bit words within a single active SEN pulse. The first eight bits form the register address and the
remaining eight bits are the register data. The interface can work with SCLK frequencies from 20MHz down to
very low speeds (of a few hertz) and also with non-50% SCLK duty cycle.
7.4.6.5.1 Register Initialization
After power-up, the internal registers must be initialized to the default values. Initialization can be accomplished
in one of two ways:
1. Either through hardware reset by applying a high pulse on the RESET terminal (of width greater than 10ns),
as shown in Figure 7-9; or
2. By applying a software reset. When using the serial interface, set the RESET bit high. This setting initializes
the internal registers to the default values and then self-resets the RESET bit low. In this case, the RESET
terminal is kept low.

7.4.6.5.2 Serial Register Readout
The device includes a mode where the contents of the internal registers can be read back. This readback mode
may be useful as a diagnostic check to verify the serial interface communication between the external controller
and the ADC. To use readback mode, follow this procedure:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Set the READOUT register bit to '1'. This setting disables any further writes to the registers.
Initiate a serial interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A7 to A0) whose content has to be read.
The device outputs the contents (D7 to D0) of the selected register on the SDOUT terminal (terminal 64).
The external controller can latch the contents at the SCLK falling edge.
To enable register writes, reset the READOUT register bit to '0'.
The serial register readout works with both CMOS and LVDS interfaces on terminal 64.
When READOUT is disabled, the SDOUT terminal is in high-impedance state. If serial readout is not used, the
SDOUT terminal must float.

8 Application Information Disclaimer
Note
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.
8.1 Application Information
The ADS4245 belongs to TI's ultralow-power family of dual-channel 14-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
At every rising edge of the input clock, the analog input signal of each channel is simultaneously sampled. The
sampled signal in each channel is converted by a pipeline of low-resolution stages. In each stage, the sampled/
held signal is converted by a high-speed, low-resolution, flash sub-ADC. The difference between the stage input
and the quantized equivalent is gained and propagates to the next stage. At every clock, each succeeding stage
resolves the sampled input with greater accuracy. The digital outputs from all stages are combined in a digital
correction logic block and digitally processed to create the final code after a data latency of 16 clock cycles. The
digital output is available as either DDR LVDS or parallel CMOS and coded in either straight offset binary or
binary twos complement format. The dynamic offset of the first stage sub-ADC limits the maximum analog input
frequency to approximately 400MHz (with 2VPP amplitude) or approximately 600MHz (with 1VPP amplitude).
8.1.1 Clock Input
The ADS4245 clock inputs can be driven differentially (sine, LVPECL, or LVDS) or single-ended (LVCMOS), with
little or no difference in performance between them. The common-mode voltage of the clock inputs is set to VCM
using internal 5kΩ resistors. This setting allows the use of transformer-coupled drive circuits for sine-wave clock
or ac-coupling for LVPECL and LVDS clock sources are shown in Figure 8-1, Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3. The
internal clock buffer is shown in Figure 8-4.

A single-ended CMOS clock can be ac-coupled to the CLKP input, with CLKM connected to ground with a 0.1μF
capacitor, as shown in Figure 8-5. For best performance, the clock inputs must be driven differentially, thereby
reducing susceptibility to common-mode noise. For high input frequency sampling, it is recommended to use a
clock source with very low jitter. Band-pass filtering of the clock source can help reduce the effects of jitter. There
is no change in performance with a non-50% duty cycle clock input.

8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Analog Input
The analog input consists of a switched-capacitor based, differential sample-and-hold (S/H) architecture. This
differential topology results in very good ac performance even for high input frequencies at high sampling rates.
The INP and INM terminals must be externally biased around a common-mode voltage of 0.95V, available on the
VCM terminal. For a full-scale differential input, each input terminal (INP and INM) must swing symmetrically
between VCM + 0.5V and VCM – 0.5V, resulting in a 2VPP differential input swing. The input sampling circuit has
a high 3dB bandwidth that extends up to 550MHz (measured from the input terminals to the sampled voltage).
Figure 8-6 shows an equivalent circuit for the analog input.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements for Drive Circuits
For optimum performance, the analog inputs must be driven differentially. This operation improves the commonmode noise immunity and even-order harmonic rejection. A 5Ω to 15Ω resistor in series with each input terminal
is recommended to damp out ringing caused by package parasitics.
SFDR performance can be limited as a result of several reasons, including the effects of sampling glitches;
nonlinearity of the sampling circuit; and nonlinearity of the quantizer that follows the sampling circuit. Depending
on the input frequency, sample rate, and input amplitude, one of these factors plays a dominant part in limiting
performance. At very high input frequencies (greater than approximately 300MHz), SFDR is determined largely
by the device sampling circuit nonlinearity. At low input amplitudes, the quantizer nonlinearity usually limits
performance.
Glitches are caused by the opening and closing of the sampling switches. The driving circuit should present a
low source impedance to absorb these glitches. Otherwise, glitches could limit performance, primarily at low
input frequencies (up to approximately 200MHz). It is also necessary to present low impedance (less than 50Ω)
for the common-mode switching currents. This configuration can be achieved by using two resistors from each
input terminated to the common-mode voltage (VCM).
The device includes an internal R-C filter from each input to ground. The purpose of this filter is to absorb the
sampling glitches inside the device itself. The cutoff frequency of the R-C filter involves a trade-off. A lower cutoff
frequency (larger C) absorbs glitches better, but it reduces the input bandwidth. On the other hand, with a higher
cutoff frequency (smaller C), bandwidth support is maximized. However, the sampling glitches now must be
supplied by the external drive circuit. This tradeoff has limitations as a result of the presence of the package
bond-wire inductance.
In the ADS4245, the R-C component values have been optimized while supporting high input bandwidth (up to
550MHz). However, in applications with input frequencies up to 200MHz to 300MHz, the filtering of the glitches
can be improved further using an external R-C-R filter; see Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-8.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Two example driving circuit configurations are shown in Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-8—one optimized for low
bandwidth (low input frequencies) and the other one for high bandwidth to support higher input frequencies. Note
that both of the drive circuits have been terminated by 50Ω near the ADC side. The termination is accomplished
by a 25Ω resistor from each input to the 1.5V common-mode (VCM) from the device. This architecture allows the
analog inputs to be biased around the required common-mode voltage.
The mismatch in the transformer parasitic capacitance (between the windings) results in degraded even-order
harmonic performance. Connecting two identical RF transformers back-to-back helps minimize this mismatch;
good performance is obtained for high-frequency input signals. An additional termination resistor pair may be
required between the two transformers, as shown in Figure 8-7, Figure 8-8, and Figure 8-9. The center point of
this termination is connected to ground to improve the balance between the P and M sides. The values of the
terminations between the transformers and on the secondary side must be chosen to obtain an effective 50Ω (in
the case of 50Ω source impedance).

All of these examples show 1:1 transformers being used with a 50Ω source. As explained in the Drive Circuit
Requirements section, this configuration helps to present a low source impedance to absorb the sampling
glitches. With a 1:4 transformer, the source impedance is 200Ω. The higher source impedance is unable to
absorb the sampling glitches effectively and can lead to degradation in performance (compared to using 1:1
transformers).
In almost all cases, either a band-pass or low-pass filter is required to obtain the desired dynamic performance,
as shown in Figure 8-10. Such filters present low source impedance at the high frequencies corresponding to the
sampling glitch and help avoid the performance loss with the high source impedance.

In addition, the drive circuit may have to be designed to provide a low insertion loss over the desired frequency
range and matched impedance to the source. Furthermore, the ADC input impedance must be considered.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Grounding
A single ground plane is sufficient to give good performance, provided the analog, digital, and clock sections of
the board are cleanly partitioned. See the ADS4226 Evaluation Module (SLAU333) for details on layout and
grounding.
10.1.2 Supply Decoupling
Because the ADS4245 already includes internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without
loss in performance. Note that decoupling capacitors can help filter external power-supply noise; thus, the
optimum number of capacitors depends on the actual application. The decoupling capacitors should be placed
very close to the converter supply terminals.
10.1.3 Exposed Pad
In addition to providing a path for heat dissipation, the PowerPAD is also electrically connected internally to the
digital ground. Therefore, it is necessary to solder the exposed pad to the ground plane for best thermal and
electrical performance. For detailed information, see application notes QFN Layout Guidelines (SLOA122) and
QFN/SON PCB Attachment (SLUA271).
10.1.4 Routing Analog Inputs
It is advisable to route differential analog input pairs (INP_x and INM_x) close to each other. To minimize the
possibility of coupling from a channel analog input to the sampling clock, the analog input pairs of both channels
should be routed perpendicular to the sampling clock. See the ADS4226 Evaluation Module (SLAU333) for
reference routing.

11.1.1 Device Support
11.1.1.1 Definition Of Specifications
Analog Bandwidth – The analog input frequency at which the power of the fundamental is reduced by 3 dB with
respect to the low-frequency value.
Aperture Delay – The delay in time between the rising edge of the input sampling clock and the actual time at
which the sampling occurs. This delay is different across channels. The maximum variation is specified as
aperture delay variation (channel-to-channel).
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter) – The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse Width/Duty Cycle – The duty cycle of a clock signal is the ratio of the time the clock signal
remains at a logic high (clock pulse width) to the period of the clock signal. Duty cycle is typically expressed as a
percentage. A perfect differential sine-wave clock results in a 50% duty cycle.
Maximum Conversion Rate – The maximum sampling rate at which specified operation is given. All parametric
testing is performed at this sampling rate unless otherwise noted.
Minimum Conversion Rate – The minimum sampling rate at which the ADC functions.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) – An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions at analog input values spaced exactly
1LSB apart. The DNL is the deviation of any single step from this ideal value, measured in units of LSBs.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) – The INL is the deviation of the ADC transfer function from a best fit line
determined by a least squares curve fit of that transfer function, measured in units of LSBs.
Gain Error – Gain error is the deviation of the ADC actual input full-scale range from its ideal value. The gain
error is given as a percentage of the ideal input full-scale range. Gain error has two components: error as a
result of reference inaccuracy (EGREF) and error as a result of the channel (EGCHAN). Both errors are specified
independently as EGREF and EGCHAN.
To a first-order approximation, the total gain error is ETOTAL ~ EGREF + EGCHAN.
For example, if ETOTAL = ±0.5%, the full-scale input varies from (1 – 0.5/100) x FSideal to (1 + 0.5/100) x FSideal.
Offset Error – The offset error is the difference, given in number of LSBs, between the ADC actual average idle
channel output code and the ideal average idle channel output code. This quantity is often mapped into
millivolts.
Temperature Drift – The temperature drift coefficient (with respect to gain error and offset error) specifies the
change per degree Celsius of the parameter from TMIN to TMAX. It is calculated by dividing the maximum
deviation of the parameter across the TMIN to TMAX range by the difference TMAX – TMIN.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio – SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the noise floor power (PN),
excluding the power at dc and the first nine harmonics.
SNR = 10Log10
PS
PN
(1)
SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter fullscale range.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD) – SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power
of all the other spectral components including noise (PN) and distortion (PD), but excluding dc.

SINAD is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter fullscale range.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) – ENOB is a measure of the converter performance as compared to the
theoretical limit based on quantization noise.
ENOB =
SINAD - 1.76

THD is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) – The ratio of the power of the fundamental to the highest other
spectral component (either spur or harmonic). SFDR is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion – IMD3 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (at frequencies f1
and f2) to the power of the worst spectral component at either frequency 2f1 – f2 or 2f2 – f1. IMD3 is either given
in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the reference, or dBFS (dB
to full-scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the converter full-scale range.
DC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (DC PSRR) – DC PSSR is the ratio of the change in offset error to a change
in analog supply voltage. The dc PSRR is typically given in units of mV/V.
AC Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (AC PSRR) – AC PSRR is the measure of rejection of variations in the
supply voltage by the ADC. If ΔVSUP is the change in supply voltage and ΔVOUT is the resultant change of the
ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
PSRR = 20Log 10
DVOUT

Voltage Overload Recovery – The number of clock cycles taken to recover to less than 1% error after an
overload on the analog inputs. This is tested by separately applying a sine wave signal with 6 dB positive and
negative overload. The deviation of the first few samples after the overload (from the expected values) is noted.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) – CMRR is the measure of rejection of variation in the analog input
common-mode by the ADC. If ΔVCM_IN is the change in the common-mode voltage of the input terminals and
ΔVOUT is the resulting change of the ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
CMRR = 20Log10
DVOUT
(Expressed in dBc)

Crosstalk (only for multi-channel ADCs) – This is a measure of the internal coupling of a signal from an
adjacent channel into the channel of interest. It is specified separately for coupling from the immediate
neighboring channel (near-channel) and for coupling from channel across the package (far-channel). It is usually
measured by applying a full-scale signal in the adjacent channel. Crosstalk is the ratio of the power of the
