GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9235 is a family of monolithic, single 3 V supply, 12-bit,
20/40/65 MSPS analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This
family features a high performance sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA) and voltage reference. The AD9235 uses a multistage
differential pipelined architecture with output error correction
logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at 20/40/65 MSPS data rates
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 offsets 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
ADCs, the AD9235 is suitable for applications in communications, imaging, and medical ultrasound.
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 AD9235 is available in a 28-lead TSSOP and a 32-lead LFCSP and is specified
over the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD9235 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. Operating at 65 MSPS, the AD9235 consumes a low 300 mW.
3. The patented SHA input maintains excellent performance for
input frequencies up to 100 MHz and can be configured for
single-ended or differential operation.
4. The AD9235 pinout is similar to the AD9214-65, a 10-bit,
65 MSPS ADC. This allows a simplified upgrade path from
10 bits to 12 bits for 65 MSPS systems.
5. The clock DCS maintains overall ADC performance over a
wide range of clock pulse widths.
6. The OTR output bit indicates when the signal is beyond the
selected input range.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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.
Aperture Jitter (tJ)
The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
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 1 ½ LSBs 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 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096
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 1 ½ 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 sum of the first six harmonic components
to the rms value of the measured input signal.
1
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD)1
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set 0.5 dB below full
scale) to the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but
excluding dc.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The ENOB for a device for sine wave inputs at a given input
frequency can be calculated directly from its measured SINAD
using the following formula
N = (SINAD − 1.76)/6.02
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)1
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude (set at 0.5 dB below full
scale) 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 amplitude of the input
signal and the peak spurious signal.
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 low 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 logic threshold 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).

APPLYING THE AD9235
ANALOG INPUT
The analog input to the AD9235 is a differential switched
capacitor SHA that has been designed for optimum performance while processing a differential input signal. The SHA
input can support a wide common-mode range and maintain
excellent performance, as shown in Figure 34. An input
common-mode voltage of midsupply minimizes signaldependent errors and provides optimum performance.
Referring to Figure 33, the clock signal alternatively 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. Also, 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 removed. In combination with the driving
source impedance, they would limit the input bandwidth.

Figure 33. Switched-Capacitor SHA Input
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and
negative reference voltages, REFT and REFB, respectively, 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
It can be seen from the equations above 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.

The input stage contains a differential SHA that can be ac- or
dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes. The outputstaging 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.

02461-034
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.
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.
02461-033
The AD9235 architecture consists of a front end 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 12-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 SHA may be driven from a source that keeps the signal
peaks within the allowable range for the selected reference voltage. The minimum and maximum common-mode input levels
are defined as:
1kΩ
15pF
0.1µF
Although optimum performance is achieved with a differential
input, a single-ended source may be driven into VIN+ or VIN–.
In this configuration, one input accepts the signal, while the
opposite input should be set to midscale by connecting it to an
appropriate reference. For example, a 2 V p-p signal may be
applied to VIN+ while a 1 V reference is applied to VIN–. The
AD9235 then accepts an input signal varying between 2 V and
0 V. In the single-ended configuration, distortion performance
may degrade significantly as compared to the differential case.
However, the effect is less noticeable at lower input frequencies and
in the lower speed grade models (AD9235-40 and AD9235-20).
1kΩ
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 may provide adequate performance in
cost-sensitive applications. In this configuration, there is degradation in SFDR and in distortion performance due to the large
input common-mode swing. However, if the source
impedances on each input are matched, there should be little
effect on SNR performance. Figure 37 details a typical singleended input configuration.

As previously detailed, optimum performance is achieved while
driving the AD9235 in a differential input configuration. For
baseband applications, the AD8138 differential driver provides
excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC. The
output common-mode voltage of the AD8138 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.

discussed in the Internal Reference Connection section. Maximum SNR performance is achieved with the AD9235 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.
Figure 37. Single-Ended Input Configuration
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a
variety of internal timing signals, and as a result, may be sensitive to clock duty cycle. Commonly a 5% tolerance is required
on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics. The AD9235 contains 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 AD9235. As shown in Figure 30, noise and distortion performance are nearly flat over a 30% range of duty cycle.
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.

AD9235
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of
the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given full-scale
input frequency (fINPUT) due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be
calculated by
The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the
AD9235. 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.
POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
As shown in Figure 38, the power dissipated by the AD9235 is
proportional to its sample rate. The digital power dissipation
does not vary substantially between the three speed grades
because it is determined primarily by the strength of the digital
drivers and the load on each output bit. The maximum DRVDD
current can be calculated as
IDRVDD = VDRVDD × CLOAD × fCLK × N
where N is the number of output bits, 12 in the case of the
AD9235. This maximum current occurs when every output bit
switches on every clock cycle, i.e., 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,
which is determined by the encode rate and the characteristics
of the analog input signal.

In the equation, the rms aperture jitter, tJ, represents the rootsum square of all jitter sources, which include the clock input,

Undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter.

Figure 38. Total Power vs. Sample Rate with fIN = 10 MHz
For the AD9235-20 speed grade, the digital power consumption
can represent as much as 10% of the total dissipation. Digital
power consumption can be minimized by reducing the capacitive load presented to the output drivers. The data in Figure 38
was taken with a 5 pF load on each output driver.
The analog circuitry is optimally biased so that each speed
grade provides excellent performance while affording reduced
power consumption. Each speed grade dissipates a baseline
power at low sample rates that increases linearly with the clock
frequency.
By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9235 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 AD9235 into its normal
operational mode.
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 sec to fully discharge the
reference buffer decoupling capacitors and 3 ms to restore full
operation.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD9235 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 that may affect converter performance.
Applications requiring the ADC to drive large capacitive loads
or large fan-outs may require external buffers or latches.

A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the

A comparator within the AD9235 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference into one of four possible states, which are summarized in Table 7. If SENSE is
grounded, the reference amplifier switch is connected to the
internal resistor divider (see Figure 39), setting VREF to 1 V.
Connecting the SENSE pin to VREF switches the reference
amplifier output to the SENSE pin, completing the loop and

External Reference Operation
OPERATIONAL MODE SELECTION
The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance
the gain accuracy of the ADC or to improve thermal drift
characteristics. When multiple ADCs track one another, a single
reference (internal or external) may be necessary to reduce gain
matching errors to an acceptable level. A high precision external
reference may also be selected to provide lower gain and offset
temperature drift. Figure 41 shows the typical drift characteristics of the internal reference in both 1 V and 0.5 V modes.
As discussed earlier, the AD9235 can output data in either offset
binary or twos complement format. There is also a provision for
enabling or disabling the clock DCS. The MODE pin is a multilevel input that controls the data format and DCS state. The
input threshold values and corresponding mode selections are
outlined in Table 8.

Figure 41. Typical VREF Drift
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 V.
If the internal reference of the AD9235 is used to drive multiple
converters to improve gain matching, the loading of the reference by the other converters must be considered. Figure 42
depicts how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading.

The AUXCLK input should be selected in applications requiring
the lowest jitter and SNR performance, i.e., IF undersampling
characterization. It allows the user to apply a clock input signal
that is 4× the target sample rate of the AD9235. A low-jitter,
differential divide-by-4 counter, the MC100LVEL33D, provides
a 1× clock output that is subsequently returned back to the CLK
input via JP9. For example, a 260 MHz signal (sinusoid) is
divided down to a 65 MHz signal for clocking the ADC. Note
that R1 must be removed with the AUXCLK interface. Lower
jitter is often achieved with this interface since many RF signal
generators display improved phase noise at higher output
frequencies and the slew rate of the sinusoidal output signal is
4× that of a 1× signal of equal amplitude.
Complete schematics and layout plots follow and demonstrate
the proper routing and grounding techniques that should be
applied at the system level.

The AD9235 evaluation board provides the support circuitry
required to operate the ADC in its various modes and configurations. The converter can be driven differentially, through an
AD8138 driver or a transformer, or single-ended. Separate power pins are provided to isolate the DUT from the support circuitry. Each input configuration can be selected by proper connection of various jumpers (refer to the schematics). Figure 43
shows the typical bench characterization setup used to evaluate
the ac performance of the AD9235. It is critical that signal
sources with very low phase noise (<1 ps rms jitter) be used to
realize the ultimate performance of the converter. Proper filtering of the input signal, to remove harmonics and lower the integrated noise at the input, is also necessary to achieve the specified noise performance.
