Rev.4.0
Jul 6, 2021
High Performance 14-Bit, 125MSPS ADC
The ISLA214P12 is a high performance 14-bit 125MSPS
analog-to-digital converter offering very high dynamic range
and low power consumption. It is part of a pin-compatible
family of 12- to 16-bit A/Ds with maximum sample rates
ranging from 125 to 500MSPS. This allows a design using
the ISLA214P12 to accommodate any of the other
pin-compatible A/Ds with minimal changes.
The ISLA214P12 is very flexible and can be designed into a
wide variety of systems. A Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) port
allows access to its extensive configurability and provides
digital control over various analog parameters such as input
gain and offset. Digital output data is presented in selectable
LVDS or CMOS formats and can be configured as full-width,
Single Data Rate (SDR) or half-width, Double Data Rate (DDR).
Operating from a 1.8V supply, performance is specified across
the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

NOTES:
1. These Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and NiPdAu-Ag plate-e4
termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Pb-free products are MSL classified
at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
2. For Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), see the ISLA214P12 device page. For more information about MSL, see TB363.

NOTES:
5. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization, and/or design.
6. Digital Supply Current is dependent upon the capacitive loading of the digital outputs. IOVDD specifications apply for 10pF load on each digital output.
7. See “Clock Input” on page 19.
8. The DLL Range setting must be changed for low-speed operation.
9. Minimum specification ensured when calibrated at +85°C.

NOTES:
10. The tri-level inputs internal switching thresholds are approximately 0.43V and 1.34V. It is advised to float the inputs, tie to ground or AVDD depending
on desired function.
11. The voltage is expressed in peak-to-peak differential swing. The peak-to-peak singled-ended swing is 1/2 of the differential swing.

NOTES:
12. The relative propagation delay is the difference in propagation time between any two devices that are matched in temperature and voltage, and is
specified across the full operating temperature and voltage range.
13. SPI Interface timing is directly proportional to the ADC sample period (tS). Values above reflect multiples of a 4ns sample period, and must be scaled
proportionally for lower sample rates. ADC sample clock must be running for SPI communication.
14. The SPI may operate asynchronously with respect to the ADC sample clock.

ISLA214P12
Theory of Operation
A user-initiated reset can subsequently be invoked in the event
that the previous conditions cannot be met at power-up.
Functional Description
The ISLA214P12 is based on a 14-bit, 125MSPS A/D converter
core that uses a pipelined successive approximation architecture
(see Figure 19). The input voltage is captured by a Sample-Hold
Amplifier (SHA) and converted to a unit of charge. Proprietary
charge-domain techniques are used to successively compare the
input to a series of reference charges. Decisions made during the
successive approximation operations determine the digital code
for each input value. Digital error correction is also applied,
resulting in a total latency of 10 clock cycles. This is evident to the
user as a latency between the start of a conversion and the data
being available on the digital outputs.
Power-On Calibration
As mentioned previously, the cores perform a self-calibration at
start-up. An internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuit detects the
supply voltage ramps and initiates the calibration when the
analog and digital supply voltages are above a threshold. The
following conditions must be followed to for the power-on
calibration to execute successfully.
After the power supply has stabilized, the internal POR releases
RESETN and an internal pull-up pulls it high, which starts the
calibration sequence. If a subsequent user-initiated reset is
desired, the RESETN pin should be connected to an open-drain
driver with an off-state/high impedance state leakage of less
than 0.5mA to assure exit from the reset state so calibration can
start.
The calibration sequence is initiated on the rising edge of
RESETN, as shown in Figure 20 on page 17. Calibration status
can be determined by reading the cal_status bit (LSB) at 0xB6.
This bit is ‘0’ during calibration and goes to a logic ‘1’ when
calibration is complete. The data outputs produce 0xCCCC during
calibration; this can also be used to determine calibration status.
While RESETN is low, the output clock (CLKOUTP/CLKOUTN) is
set low. Normal operation of the output clock resumes at the
next input clock edge (CLKP/CLKN) after RESETN is de-asserted.
At 125MSPS the nominal calibration time is 560ms, while the
maximum calibration time is 1000ms.
• A frequency-stable conversion clock must be applied to the
CLKP/CLKN pins
• DNC pins must not be connected
• SDO has an internal pull-up and should not be driven externally
• RESETN is pulled low by the ADC internally during POR.
External driving of RESETN is optional
• SPI communications must not be attempted

ISLA214P12
The performance of the ISLA214P12 changes with variations in
temperature, supply voltage, or sample rate. The extent of these
changes may necessitate recalibration, depending on system
performance requirements. Best performance is achieved by
recalibrating the A/D under the environmental conditions at
which it operates.
