The AD9229 is a quad, 12-bit, 65 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit that
is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use.
The product operates at up to a 65 MSPS conversion rate and is
optimized for outstanding dynamic performance in applications
where a small package size is critical.
The ADC requires a single 3 V power supply and TTL-/CMOScompatible sample rate clock for full performance operation.
No external reference or driver components are required for
many applications.
The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the
appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock (DCO) for
capturing data on the output and a frame clock (FCO) trigger
for signaling a new output byte are provided. Power-down is
supported and typically consumes 3 mW when enabled.
Fabricated with an advanced CMOS process, the AD9229 is
available in a Pb-free, 48-lead LFCSP package. It is specified
over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
