14-Bit, 250MSPS/200MSPS/130MSPS ADC
The ISLA214P is a series of low power, high performance
14-bit analog-to-digital converters. Designed with the Renesas
proprietary FemtoCharge™ technology on a standard CMOS
process, the series supports sampling rates of up to 250MSPS.
The ISLA214P is part of a pin-compatible family of 12 to 16-bit
A/Ds with maximum sample rates ranging from 130MSPS to
500MSPS.
Features
A serial peripheral interface (SPI) port allows for extensive
configurability, as well as fine control of various parameters,
such as 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). The ISLA214P is available in a 72-contact QFN
package with an exposed paddle. Operating from a 1.8V
supply, performance is specified over 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 ISLA214P13, ISLA214P20, ISLA214P25 device pages. . 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 21.
8. The DLL Range setting must be changed for low-speed operation.
9. Minimum specification guaranteed when calibrated at +85°C.

Boldface limits apply over the operating temperature range, -40°C to +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 over 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.

Theory of Operation
Functional Description
The ISLA214P is based on a 14-bit, 250MSPS A/D converter core
that utilizes 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 adhered to for the power-on
calibration to execute successfully.

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. 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.
If the selectable clock divider is set to 1 (default), the output
clock (CLKOUTP/CLKOUTN) will not be affected by the assertion
of RESETN. If the selectable clock divider is set to 2 or 4, the
output clock is set low while RESETN is asserted (low). Normal
operation of the output clock resumes at the next input clock
edge (CLKP/CLKN) after RESETN is de-asserted. At 250MSPS,
the nominal calibration time is 200ms, while the maximum
calibration time is 550ms.
• 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
A user-initiated reset can subsequently be invoked in the event
that the above conditions cannot be met at power-up.
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

Figures 21 through 26 show the effect of temperature on SNR
and SFDR performance with power on calibration performed at
-40°C, +25°C, and +85°C. Each plot shows the variation of
SNR/SFDR across temperature after a single power on
calibration at -40°C, +25°C and +85°C. Best performance is
typically achieved by a user-initiated power on calibration at the
operating conditions, as stated earlier. However, it can be seen
that performance drift with temperature is not a very strong
function of the temperature at which the power on calibration is
performed.
CLKOUTP
FIGURE 20. CALIBRATION TIMING
User Initiated Reset
Recalibration of the A/D can be initiated at any time by driving
the RESETN pin low for a minimum of one clock cycle. An
open-drain driver with a drive strength in its high impedance
state of less than 0.5mA is recommended, as RESETN has an
internal high impedance pull-up to OVDD. As is the case during
power-on reset, RESETN and DNC pins must be in the proper
state for the calibration to successfully execute.
The performance of the ISLA214P 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 will be achieved
by recalibrating the A/D under the environmental conditions at
which it will operate.
