GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9040A is a complete 10-bit monolithic sampling analogto-digital converter (ADC) with on-board track-and-hold and
reference. The unit is designed for low cost, high performance
applications and requires only an encode signal to achieve
40 MSPS sample rates with 10-bit resolution.
Digital inputs and outputs are CMOS compatible; the analog
input requires a signal of 2 V p-p amplitude. The two-step
architecture used in the AD9040A is optimized to provide the
best dynamic performance available while maintaining low
power requirements of only 940 mW typically; maximum dissipation is 1.1 watt at 40 MSPS.
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), including harmonics, is 53 dB,
or 8.5 ENOB, when sampling an analog input of 10.3 MHz at
40 MSPS. Competitive devices perform at less than 7.5 ENOB
and require external references and larger input signals.
The AD9040A A/D converter is available as either a 28-lead
plastic DIP or a 28-lead SOIC. The two models operate over a
commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Contact the
factory regarding availability of ceramic military temperature
range devices.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. CMOS compatible logic for direct interface to ASICs.
2. On-board T/H provides excellent high frequency performance on analog inputs, critical for communications and
medical imaging applications.
3. High input impedance and 2 volt p-p input range reduce
need for external amplifiers.
4. Easy to use; no cumbersome external voltage references
required, allowing denser packing of ADCs for multichannel
applications.
5. Available in 28-lead plastic DIP and SOIC packages.
6. Evaluation board includes AD9040AJR, reconstruction
DAC, and latches. Space is available near the analog input
and digital outputs of the converter for additional circuits.
Order as part number AD9040A/PCB (schematic shown in
data sheet).

Output propagation delay (tPD) is measured from the 50% point of the falling
edge of the encode command to the min/max voltage levels of the digital
outputs with 10 pF maximum loads.
3
RMS signal to rms noise with analog input signal 1 dB below full scale at
specified frequency.

ENCODE = 32 MSPS.
5
3rd order intermodulation measured with analog input frequencies of 2.3 MHz
and 2.4 MHz at 7 dB below full scale.
6
For rated performance at 40 MSPS, duty cycle of encode command should be
50% ±10%.
7
Measured as the ratio of the change in offset voltage for a 5% change in +V
or –VS.

EXPLANATION OF TEST LEVELS
Test Level
I– 100% Production Tested.
II – 100% production tested at +25°C, and sample tested at
specified temperatures. AC testing done on sample basis.
III – Sample Tested Only.
IV – Parameter is guaranteed by design and characterization
testing.
V – Parameter is a typical value only.
VI – All devices are 100% production tested at +25°C. 100%
production tested at temperature extremes for military
temperature devices; guaranteed by design and character-
Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values to be applied individually, and
beyond which the serviceability of the circuit may be impaired. Functional
operability is not necessarily implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for an extended period of time may affect device reliability.
