GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9254 is a monolithic, single 1.8 V supply, 14-bit, 150 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter (ADC), featuring a high performance
sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) and on-chip voltage reference.
The product uses a multistage differential pipeline architecture
with output error correction logic to provide 14-bit accuracy at
150 MSPS data rates and guarantees 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 AD9254 is suitable for applications in communications,
imaging, and medical ultrasound.
A differential clock input controls 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 offset binary, Gray code, or
twos complement formats. A data output clock (DCO) is provided
to ensure proper latch timing with receiving logic.
The AD9254 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP_VQ and is specified
over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD9254 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.
3. The clock DCS maintains overall ADC performance over a
wide range of clock pulse widths.
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 AD9254 is pin-compatible with the AD9233, allowing
AVDD = 1.8 V; DRVDD = 2.5 V, maximum sample rate, 2 V p-p differential input, 1.0 V internal reference; AIN = −1.0 dBFS, DCS enabled,
unless otherwise noted.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
The exposed paddle must be soldered to the ground plane for
the LFCSP_VQ package. Soldering the exposed paddle to the
customer board increases the reliability of the solder joints,
maximizing the thermal capability of the package.
