The AD9233 is a monolithic, single 1.8 V supply, 12-bit, 80 MSPS/
105 MSPS/125 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC), featuring
a high performance sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) and onchip voltage reference. The product uses a multistage differential
pipeline architecture with output error correction logic to
provide 12-bit accuracy at 125 MSPS data rates and guarantees
no missing codes over the full operating temperature range.

The digital output data is presented in offset binary, Gray code, or
twos complement formats. A data output clock (DCO) is provided
to ensure proper latch timing with receiving logic.
The AD9233 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and is specified
over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD9233 operates from a single 1.8 V power supply
and features a separate digital output driver supply to
accommodate 1.8 V to 3.3 V logic families.
2. The patented SHA input maintains excellent performance
for input frequencies up to 225 MHz.
05492-001
The wide bandwidth, truly differential SHA allows a variety of
user-selectable input ranges and offsets, including single-ended
3. The clock DCS maintains overall ADC performance over a
wide range of clock pulse widths.
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 AD9233 is suitable for applications in communications,
imaging, and medical ultrasound.
A differential clock input controls all internal conversion cycles. A
4. A standard serial port interface supports various product
features and functions, such as data formatting (offset
binary, twos complement, or Gray coding), enabling the
clock DCS, power-down, and voltage reference mode.
5. The AD9233 is pin compatible with the AD9246, allowing
a simple migration from 12 bits to 14 bits.
duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) compensates for wide variations in the
clock duty cycle while maintaining excellent overall ADC
performance.

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.
