AD9640
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9640 is a dual 14-bit, 80/105/125/150 MSPS analog-todigital converter (ADC). The AD9640 is designed to support
communications applications where low cost, small size, and
versatility are desired.
The dual ADC core features a multistage, differential pipelined
architecture with integrated output error correction logic. Each
ADC features wide bandwidth differential sample-and-hold
analog input amplifiers supporting a variety of user-selectable
input ranges. An integrated voltage reference eases design
considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer is provided to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing the
converters to maintain excellent performance.
The AD9640 has several functions that simplify the automatic
gain control (AGC) function in the system receiver. The fast detect
feature allows fast overrange detection by outputting four bits of
input level information with very short latency.
In addition, the programmable threshold detector allows monitoring of the incoming signal power using the four fast detect
bits of the ADC with very low latency. If the input signal level
exceeds the programmable threshold, the fine upper threshold
indicator goes high. Because this threshold is set from the four
MSBs, the user can quickly turn down the system gain to avoid an
overrange condition.
The second AGC-related function is the signal monitor. This
block allows the user to monitor the composite magnitude of
the incoming signal, which aids in setting the gain to optimize
the dynamic range of the overall system.
The ADC output data can be routed directly to the two external
14-bit output ports. These outputs can be set from 1.8 V to 3.3 V
CMOS or 1.8 V LVDS.
Flexible power-down options allow significant power savings,
when desired.
Programming for setup and control is accomplished using a
3-bit SPI-compatible serial interface.
The AD9640 is available in a 64-lead LFCSP and is specified
over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

AD9640
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD9640 dual ADC design can be used for diversity reception
of signals, where the ADCs are operating identically on the same
carrier but from two separate antennae. The ADCs can also be
operated with independent analog inputs. The user can sample
any f
/2 frequency segment from dc to 200 MHz using appropriate
S
low-pass or band-pass filtering at the ADC inputs with little loss
in ADC performance. Operation to 450 MHz analog input is
permitted but occurs at the expense of increased ADC distortion.
In nondiversity applications, the AD9640 can be used as a baseband receiver, where one ADC is used for I input data and the
other is used for Q input data.
Synchronizaton capability is provided to allow synchronized
timing between multiple channels or multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD9640 are accomplished
using a 3-bit SPI-compatible serial interface.
A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the
peak transient current required from the output stage of the
driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed across the
inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive
network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC input; therefore,
the precise values are dependent on the application.
In intermediate frequency (IF) undersampling applications,
any shunt capacitors should be reduced. In combination with
the driving source impedance, they limit the input bandwidth.
See the AN-742 Application Note, Frequency Domain Response
of Switched-Capacitor ADCs; the AN-827 Application Note, A
Resonant Approach to Inter facing Amplifiers to Switched-Capacitor
ADCs; and the Analog Dialogue article, “Tr an sf orm er -C oup le d
Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters” for more information
on this subject.
S
ADC ARCHITECTURE
The AD9640 architecture consists of a dual front-end sampleand-hold amplifier (SHA), followed by a pipelined, switched
capacitor ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are
combined into a final 14-bit result in the digital correction
logic. The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to
operate on a new input sample, and the remaining stages
operate on preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising
edge of the clock.
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched capacitor digitalto-analog converter (DAC) and an 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.
The input stage of each channel contains a differential SHA that
can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes.
The output staging block aligns the data, carries out 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.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD9640 is a differential switched
capacitor SHA that has been designed for optimum performance
while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal alternatively switches the SHA between sample
mode and hold mode (see Figure 45). When the SHA is switched
into sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging
the sample capacitors and settling within ½ of a clock cycle.

For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN− should be matched.
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and
negative reference voltages that define the input span of the ADC
core. The span of the ADC core is set by the buffer to 2 × VREF.
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD9640 are not internally dc biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. Setting the device so that V
= 0.55 × AVDD
CM
is recommended for optimum performance, but the device
functions over a wider range with reasonable performance
(see Figure 44). An on-board common-mode voltage reference
is included in the design and is available from the CML pin.
Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode
voltage of the analog input is set by the CML pin voltage
(typically 0.55 × AVDD). The CML pin must be decoupled to
ground by a 0.1 µF capacitor, as described in the Applications
Information section.
Differential Input Configurations
Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD9640
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
with the CML pin of the AD9640 (see Figure 46), and the driver
can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to provide
band limiting of the input signal.

For baseband applications where SNR is a key parameter,
differential transformer coupling is the recommended input
configuration. An example is shown in Figure 47. To bias the
analog input, the CML voltage can be connected to the center
tap of the transformer’s secondary winding.
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.
At input frequencies in the second Nyquist zone and above, the
noise performance of most amplifiers is not adequate to achieve
the true SNR performance of the AD9640. For applications where
SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling is the
recommended input configuration (see Figure 49 for an example).
An alternative to using a transformer coupled input at frequencies
in the second Nyquist zone is to use the AD8352 differential
driver. An example is shown in Figure 50. See the AD8352 data
sheet for more information.
In any configuration, the value of Shunt Capacitor C is dependent
on the input frequency and source impedance and may need to
be reduced or removed. Tab l e 1 3 displays recommended values to
set the RC network. However, these values are dependent on the
input signal and should be used only as a starting guide.

Single-Ended Input Configuration
A single-ended input can provide adequate performance in cost
sensitive applications. In this configuration, SFDR and distortion
performance degrade due to the large input common-mode swing.
If the source impedances on each input are matched, there should
be little effect on SNR performance. Figure 48 details a typical
single-ended input configuration.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A stable and accurate voltage reference is built into the AD9640.
The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference voltage
applied to the AD9640, using either the internal reference or an
externally applied reference voltage. The input span of the ADC
tracks reference voltage changes linearly. The various reference
modes are summarized in the next few sections. The Reference
Decoupling section describes the best practices PCB layout of
the reference.
Internal Reference Connection
A comparator within the AD9640 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference into four possible
modes, which are summarized in Tabl e 14. If SENSE is grounded,
the reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal
resistor divider (see Figure 51), setting VREF to 1 V. Connecting
the SENSE pin to VREF switches the reference amplifier output
to the SENSE pin, completing the loop and providing a 0.5 V
reference output. If a resistor divider is connected external to
the chip, as shown in Figure 52, the switch again sets to the
SENSE pin. This puts the reference amplifier in a noninverting
mode with the VREF output defined as

Figure 54. 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
6 kΩ load (see Figure 15). The internal buffer generates the
positive and negative full-scale references for the ADC core.
Therefore, the external reference must be limited to a maximum
of 1 V.
CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, the AD9640 sample clock inputs
CLK+, and CLK− should be clocked with a differential signal.
The signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins
via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally
(see Figure 55) and require no external bias.

Clock Input Options
The AD9640 has a very flexible clock input structure. Clock input
can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or sine wave signal. Regardless of
the type of signal being used, the jitter of the clock source is of the
most concern, as described in the Jitter Considerations section.
Figure 56 and Figure 57 show two preferred methods for clocking
the AD9640 (at clock rates to 625 MHz). A low jitter clock source
is converted from a single-ended signal to a differential signal
using either an RF balun or an RF transformer. The RF balun
configuration is recommended for clock frequencies between
125 MHz and 625 MHz, and the RF transformer is recommended
for clock frequencies from 10 MHz to 200MHz. The back-to-back
Schottky diodes across the transformer/balun secondary limit
clock excursions into the AD9640 to approximately 0.8 V p-p
differential.
Rev. B | Page 28 of 52
This helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from
feeding through to other portions of the AD9640, while preserving
the fast rise and fall times of the signal that are critical to a low
jitter performance.

In some applications, it may be acceptable to drive the sample

Input Clock Divider
The AD9640 contains an input clock divider with the ability to
divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. If a
divide ratio other than 1 is selected, the duty cycle stabilizer is
automatically enabled.
The AD9640 clock divider can be synchronized using the external
SYNC input. Bit 1 and Bit 2 of Register 0x100 allow the clock
divider to be resynchronized on every SYNC signal or only on
the first SYNC signal after the register is written. A valid SYNC
causes the clock divider to reset to its initial state. This synchronization feature allows multiple parts to have their clock dividers
aligned to guarantee simultaneous input sampling.
Clock Duty Cycle
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 AD9640 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that retimes
the nonsampling (falling) edge, providing an internal clock
signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows the user to
provide a wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting
the performance of the AD9640. Noise and distortion performance
are nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles with the DCS on,
as shown in Figure 43.
06547-038
06547-039
Jitter in the rising edge of the input is still of paramount concern
and is not easily reduced by the internal stabilization circuit.
The duty cycle control loop does not function for clock rates
less than 20 MHz nominally. The loop has a time constant
associated with it that needs to be considered where the clock
rate can change dynamically. This requires a wait time of 1.5 µs
to 5 µs after a dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease before
the DCS loop is relocked to the input signal. During the time
period the loop is not locked, the DCS loop is bypassed, and
internal device timing is dependent on the duty cycle of the input
clock signal. In such applications, it may be appropriate to disable
the duty cycle stabilizer. In all other applications, enabling the DCS
circuit is recommended to maximize ac performance.
Jitter Considerations
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality
of the clock input. The degradation in SNR from the low
frequency SNR (SNR

The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9640.
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.

relates to ADCs.

AD9640
POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE
As shown in Figure 63, the power dissipated by the AD9640
is proportional to its sample rate. In CMOS output mode,
the digital power dissipation is determined primarily by the
strength of the digital drivers and the load on each output bit.

where N is the number of output bits (30 in the case of the AD9640
with the FD bits disabled). This maximum current occurs when
every output bit switches on every clock cycle, that is, a fullscale square wave at the Nyquist frequency of f
the DRVDD current is established by the average number of
output bits switching, which is determined by the sample rate
and the characteristics of the analog input signal.
Reducing the capacitive load presented to the output drivers can
minimize digital power consumption. The data in Figure 63 was
taken with the same operating conditions as the Typ ic al

By asserting PDWN (either through the SPI port or by asserting
the PDWN pin high), the AD9640 is placed in power-down
mode. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates 2.5 mW.
During power-down, the output drivers are placed in a high
impedance state. Asserting the PDWN pin low returns the
AD9640 to its normal operational mode. Note that PDWN is
referenced to the digital supplies (DRVDD) and should not
exceed that supply voltage.
Low power dissipation in power-down mode is achieved by
shutting down the reference, reference buffer, biasing networks,
and clock. Internal capacitors are discharged when entering powerdown mode and then must be recharged when returning to normal
operation. As a result, wake-up time is related to the time spent
in power-down mode, and shorter power-down cycles result in
proportionally shorter wake-up times.
When using the SPI port interface, the user can place the ADC
in power-down mode or standby mode. Standby mode allows
the user to keep the internal reference circuitry powered when
faster wake-up times are required. See the Memory Map Register
Description section for more details.
Rev. B | Page 30 of 52
AD9640
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The AD9640 output drivers can be configured to interface with
1.8 V to 3.3 V CMOS logic families by matching DRVDD to the
digital supply of the interfaced logic. The AD9640 can also be
configured for LVDS outputs using a DRVDD supply voltage
of 1.8 V.
In CMOS output mode, 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.
The output data format can be selected for either offset binary
or twos complement by setting the SCLK/DFS pin when operating
in the external pin mode (see Tab l e 15).
As detailed in the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI, the data format can be selected for offset
binary, twos complement, or gray code when using the SPI control.
The AD9640 has a flexible three-state ability for the digital output
pins. The three-state mode is enabled using the SMI SDO/OEB
pin or through the SPI interface. If the SMI SDO/OEB pin is low,
the output data drivers are enabled. If the SMI SDO/OEB pin is
high, the output data drivers are placed in a high impedance state.
This OEB function is not intended for rapid access to the data
bus. Note that OEB is referenced to the digital supplies (DRVDD)
and should not exceed that supply voltage.
When using the SPI interface, the data and fast detect outputs
of each channel can be independently three-stated by using the
output enable bar bit in Register 0x14.
TIMING
The AD9640 provides latched data with a pipeline delay of
twelve clock cycles. Data outputs are available one propagation
delay (t
The length of the output data lines and loads placed on them
should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9640.
These transients can degrade converter dynamic performance.
The lowest typical conversion rate of the AD9640 is 10 MSPS.
At clock rates below 10 MSPS, dynamic performance can degrade.
Data Clock Output (DCO)
The AD9640 provides two data clock output (DCO) signals
intended for capturing the data in an external register. The data
outputs are valid on the rising edge of DCO, unless the DCO clock
polarity has been changed via the SPI. See Figure 2 and Figure 3
for a graphical timing description.
In receiver applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to
reliably determine when the converter is about to be clipped.
The standard overflow indicator provides after-the-fact information on the state of the analog input that is of limited usefulness.
Therefore, it is helpful to have a programmable threshold below
full scale that allows time to reduce the gain before the clip
actually occurs. In addition, because input signals can have
significant slew rates, latency of this function is of major concern.
Highly pipelined converters can have significant latency. A good
compromise is to use the output bits from the first stage of the
ADC for this function. Latency for these output bits is very low,
and overall resolution is not highly significant. Peak input signals
are typically between full scale and 6 dB to 10 dB below full
scale. A 3-bit or 4-bit output provides adequate range and
resolution for this function.
Using the SPI port, the user can provide a threshold above which
an overrange output is active. As long as the signal is below that
threshold, the output should remain low. The fast detect outputs
can also be programmed via the SPI port so that one of the pins
functions as a traditional overrange pin for customers who
currently use this feature. In this mode, all 14 bits of the converter
are examined in the traditional manner, and the output is high for
the condition normally defined as overflow. In either mode, the
magnitude of the data is considered in the calculation of the
condition (but the sign of the data is not considered). The threshold
detection responds identically to positive and negative signals
outside the desired range (magnitude).
FAST DETECT OVERVIEW
The AD9640 contains circuitry to facilitate fast overrange detection, allowing very flexible external gain control implementations.
Each ADC has four fast detect (FD) output pins that are used
to output information about the current state of the ADC input
level. The function of these pins is programmable via the fast detect
mode select bits and the fast detect enable bit in Register 0x104,
allowing range information to be output from several points in
the internal datapath. These output pins can also be set up to
indicate the presence of overrange or underrange conditions,
according to programmable threshold levels. Table 1 7 shows the
six configurations available for the fast detect pins.

When the fast detect output pins are configured to output the ADC
fast magnitude (that is, when the fast detect mode select bits are
set to 0b000), the information presented is the ADC level from
an early converter stage with a latency of only two clock cycles
(when in CMOS output mode). Using the fast detect output pins
in this configuration provides the earliest possible level indication
information. Because this information is provided early in the
datapath, there is significant uncertainty in the level indicated.
The nominal levels, along with the uncertainty indicated by the
ADC fast magnitude, are shown in Ta bl e 18 .

ADC OVERRANGE (OR)
The ADC overrange indicator is asserted when an overrange is
detected on the input of the ADC. The overrange condition is
determined at the output of the ADC pipeline and, therefore, is
subject to a latency of 12 ADC clock cycles. An overrange at the
input is indicated by this bit 12 clock cycles after it occurs.
GAIN SWITCHING
The AD9640 includes circuitry that is useful in applications either
where large dynamic ranges exist or where gain ranging converters
are employed. This circuitry allows digital thresholds to be set
such that an upper threshold and a lower threshold can be
programmed. Fast detect mode select bit = 010 through fast
detect mode select bit = 101 support various combinations of the
gain switching options.
One such use is to detect when an ADC is about to reach full
scale with a particular input condition. The result is to provide
an indicator that can be used to quickly insert an attenuator that
prevents ADC overdrive.
Rev. B | Page 33 of 52
Coarse Upper Threshold (C_UT)
The coarse upper threshold indicator is asserted if the ADC fast
magnitude input level is greater than the level programmed in
the coarse upper threshold register (Address 0x105[2:0]). The
coarse upper threshold output is output two clock cycles after the
level is exceeded at the input and, therefore, provides a fast indication of the input signal level. The coarse upper threshold levels
are listed in Ta bl e 21 . This indicator remains asserted for a
minimum of two ADC clock cycles or until the signal drops
below the threshold level.
Table 21. Coarse Upper Threshold Levels

Register 0x105[2:0]
The fine upper threshold indicator is asserted if the input
magnitude exceeds the value programmed in the fine upper
threshold register located in Register 0x106 and Register 0x107.
The 13-bit threshold register is compared with the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC. This comparison is subject to the
ADC clock latency but is accurate in terms of the converter
resolution. The fine upper threshold magnitude is defined by
the following equation:
13
dBFS = 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/2
)
Fine Lower Threshold (F_LT)
The fine lower threshold indicator is asserted if the input
magnitude is less than the value programmed in the fine lower
threshold register located at Register 0x108 and Register 0x109.
The fine lower threshold register is a 13-bit register that is
compared with the signal magnitude at the output of the ADC.
This comparison is subject to ADC clock latency but is accurate
in terms of the converter resolution. The fine lower threshold
magnitude is defined by the following equation:
13
dBFS = 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/2
)
The operation of the fine upper threshold indicators and fine
lower threshold indicators is shown in Figure 67.
Increment Gain (IG) and Decrement Gain (DG)
The increment gain and decrement gain indicators are intended
to be used together to provide information to enable external
gain control. The decrement gain indicator works in conjunction
with the coarse upper threshold bits, asserting when the input
magnitude is greater than the 3-bit value in the coarse upper
threshold register (Address 0x105). The increment gain indicator,
AD9640
dBFS = 20 log(Threshold Magnitude/213) similarly, corresponds to the fine lower threshold bits, except
that it is asserted only if the input magnitude is less than the
value programmed in the fine lower threshold register after the
dwell time elapses. The dwell time is set by the 16-bitdwell time
value located at Address 0x10A and Address 0x10B and is set in
units of ADC input clock cycles ranging from 1 to 65,535. The
fine lower threshold register is a 13-bit register that is compared
with the magnitude at the output of the ADC. This comparison
is subject to the ADC clock latency but allows a finer, more
accurate comparison. The fine upper threshold magnitude is
defined by the following equation:
The decrement gain output works from the ADC fast detect
output pins, providing a fast indication of potential overrange
conditions. The increment gain uses the comparison at the
output of the ADC, requiring the input magnitude to remain
below an accurate, programmable level for a predefined period
before signaling external circuitry to increase the gain.
The operation of the increment gain output and the decrement
gain output is shown in Figure 67.

SIGNAL MONITOR
The signal monitor block provides additional information
about the signal being digitized by the ADC. The signal monitor
computes the rms input magnitude, the peak magnitude,
and/or the number of samples by which the magnitude exceeds
a particular threshold. Together, these functions can be used to
gain insight into the signal characteristics and to estimate the
peak/average ratio or even the shape of the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) curve of the input signal. This
information can be used to drive an AGC loop to optimize the
range of the ADC in the presence of real-world signals.
The signal monitor result values can be obtained from the part by
reading back internal registers at Address 0x116 to Address 0x11B,
using the SPI port or the signal monitor SPORT output. The output
contents of the SPI-accessible signal monitor registers are set via
the two signal monitor mode bits of the signal monitor control
register. Both ADC channels must be configured for the same
signal monitor mode (Address 0x112). Separate SPI-accessible,
20-bit signal monitor result (SMR) registers are provided for each
ADC channel. Any combination of the signal monitor functions
can also be output to the user via the serial SPORT interface.
These outputs are enabled using the peak detector output enable
bit, the rms/ms magnitude output enable bit, and the threshold
crossing output enable bit in the signal monitor SPORT control
register.
For each signal monitor measurement, a programmable signal
monitor period register (SMPR) controls the duration of the
measurement. This period of time is programmed as the number
of input clock cycles in a 24-bit signal monitor period register
located at Address 0x113, Address 0x114, and Address 0x115.
This register can be programmed with a period from 128 samples
24
to 16.78 (2
) million samples.
Because the dc offset of the ADC can be significantly larger
than the signal of interest (affecting the results from the signal
monitor), a dc correction circuit is included as part of the signal
monitor block to null the dc offset before measuring the power.
PEAK DETECTOR MODE
The magnitude of the input port signal is monitored over a
programmable time period (determined by the SMPR) to give
the peak value detected. This function is enabled by programming
a Logic 1 in the signal monitor mode bits of the signal monitor
control register or by setting the peak detector output enable bit
in the signal monitor SPORT control register. The 24-bit SMPR
must be programmed before activating this mode.
After enabling this mode, the value in the SMPR is loaded into
a monitor period timer, and the countdown is started. The magnitude of the input signal is compared with the value in the internal
peak level holding register (not accessible to the user), and the
greater of the two is updated as the current peak level. The initial
value of the peak level holding register is set to the current ADC
input signal magnitude. This comparison continues until the
monitor period timer reaches a count of 1.
When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the 13-bit
peak level value is transferred to the signal monitor holding register
(not accessible to the user), which can be read through the SPI port
or output through the SPORT serial interface. The monitor period
timer is reloaded with the value in the SMPR, and the countdown is
restarted. In addition, the magnitude of the first input sample is
updated in the peak level holding register, and the comparison and
update procedure, as explained previously, continues.
Figure 68 is a block diagram of the peak detector logic. The SMR
register contains the absolute magnitude of the peak detected by
the peak detector logic.

RMS/MS MAGNITUDE MODE
In this mode, the root-mean-square (rms) or mean-square (ms)
magnitude of the input port signal is integrated (by adding an
accumulator) over a programmable period of time (determined by
the SMPR) to give the rms or ms magnitude of the input signal.
This mode is set by programming Logic 0 in the signal monitor
mode bits of the signal monitor control register or by setting the
rms/ms magnitude output enable bit in the signal monitor SPORT
control register. The 24-bit SMPR, representing the period over
which integration is performed, must be programmed before activating this mode.
After enabling the rms/ms magnitude mode, the value in the SMPR
is loaded into a monitor period timer, and the countdown is started
immediately. Each input sample is converted to floating-point
format and squared. It is then converted to 11-bit, fixed-point
format and added to the contents of the 24-bit accumulator.
The integration continues until the monitor period timer reaches
a count of 1.
When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the square
root of the value in the accumulator is taken and transferred,
after some formatting, to the signal monitor holding register, which
can be read through the SPI port or output through the SPORT
serial port. The monitor period timer is reloaded with the value
in the SMPR, and the countdown is restarted. In addition, the
first input sample signal power is updated in the accumulator,
and the accumulation continues with the subsequent input
samples.

Figure 69 illustrates the rms magnitude monitoring logic.
For rms magnitude mode, the value in the signal monitor result
(SMR) register is a 20-bit fixed-point number. The following
equation can be used to determine the rms magnitude in dBFS
from the MAG value in the register. Note that if the signal monitor
period (SMP) is a power of 2, the second term in the equation
becomes 0.

THRESHOLD CROSSING MODE
In the threshold crossing mode of operation, the magnitude of
the input port signal is monitored over a programmable time
period (given by the SMPR) to count the number of times it
crosses a certain programmable threshold value. This mode is set
by programming Logic 1x (where x is a don’t care bit) in the
signal monitor mode bits of the signal monitor control register
or by setting the threshold crossing output enable bit in the
signal monitor SPORT control register. Before activating this
mode, the user needs to program the 24-bit SMPR and the
13-bit upper threshold register for each individual input port.
The same upper threshold register is used for both signal monitoring and gain control (see the ADC Overrange and Gain
Control section).
After entering this mode, the value in the SMPR is loaded into
a monitor period timer, and the countdown is started. The magnitude of the input signal is compared with the upper threshold
register (programmed previously) on each input clock cycle.
If the input signal has a magnitude greater than the upper
threshold register, the internal count register is incremented by 1.
The initial value of the internal count register is set to 0. This
comparison and incrementing of the internal count register
continues until the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1.
06547-092
When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the value
in the internal count register is transferred to the signal monitor
holding register, which can be read through the SPI port or output
through the SPORT serial port.
The monitor period timer is reloaded with the value in the SMPR
register, and the countdown is restarted. The internal count
register is also cleared to a value of 0. Figure 70 illustrates the
threshold crossing logic. The value in the SMR register is the
number of samples that have a magnitude greater than the
threshold register.
For additional flexibility in the signal monitoring process, two
control bits are provided in the signal monitor control register.
They are the signal monitor enable bit and the complex power
calculation mode enable bit.
Signal Monitor Enable Bit
The signal monitor enable bit, Bit 0 of Register 0x112, enables
operation of the signal monitor block. If the signal monitor
function is not needed in a particular application, this bit should
be cleared (default) to conserve power.
Complex Power Calculation Mode Enable Bit
When this bit is set, the part assumes that Channel A is digitizing
the I data and Channel B is digitizing the Q data for a complex
input signal (or vice versa). In this mode, the power reported is
equal to the following:
22
QI +
This result is presented in the Signal Monitor DC Value Channel A
register if the signal monitor mode bits are set to 00. The Signal
Monitor DC Value Channel B register continues to compute the
Channel B value.
DC CORRECTION
Because the dc offset of the ADC may be significantly larger
than the signal being measured, a dc correction circuit is included
to null the dc offset before measuring the power. The dc correction
circuit can also be switched into the main signal path, but this
may not be appropriate if the ADC is digitizing a time-varying
signal with significant dc content, such as GSM.

DC Correction Bandwidth
The dc correction circuit is a high-pass filter with a programmable
bandwidth (ranging between 0.15 Hz and 1.2 kHz at 125 MSPS).
The bandwidth is controlled by writing Bits[5:2] of the signal
monitor dc correction control register, located at Address 0x10C.
The following equation can be used to compute the bandwidth
value for the dc correction circuit:

DC Correction Readback
The current dc correction value can be read back in Register 0x10D
and Register 0x10E for Channel A and in Register 0x10F and
Register 0x110 for Channel B. The dc correction value is a 14-bit
value that can span the entire input range of the ADC.
DC Correction Freeze
Setting Bit 6 of Register 0x10C freezes the dc correction at its
current state and continues to use the last updated value as the
dc correction value. Clearing this bit restarts dc correction and
adds the currently calculated value to the data.
DC Correction Enable Bits
Setting Bit 0 of Register 0x10C enables dc correction for use in
the signal monitor calculations. The calculated dc correction
value can be added to the output data signal path by setting Bit 1
of Register 0x10C.
SIGNAL MONITOR SPORT OUTPUT
The SPORT is a serial interface with three output pins:
SMI SCLK (SPORT clock), SMI SDFS (SPORT frame sync), and
SMI SDO (SPORT data output). The SPORT is the master and
drives all three SPORT output pins on the chip.
SMI SCLK
The data output and frame sync are driven on the positive edge of
the SMI SCLK. The SMI SCLK has three possible baud rates: 1/2,
1/4, or 1/8 the ADC clock rate, based on the SPORT controls. The
SMI SCLK can also be gated off when not sending any data, based
on the SPORT SMI SCLK sleep bit. Using this bit to disable the SMI
SCLK when it is not needed can reduce any coupling errors back
into the signal path, if these prove to be a problem in the system.
Doing so, however, has the disadvantage of spreading the frequency
content of the clock. If desired, the SMI SCLK can be left running
to ease frequency planning.
SMI SDFS
The SMI SDFS is the serial data frame sync, and it defines the
start of a frame. One SPORT frame includes data from both
datapaths. The data from Datapath A is sent just after the frame
sync, followed by data from Datapath B.
SMI SDO
The SMI SDO is the serial data output of the block. The data
is sent MSB first on the next positive edge after the SMI SDFS.
Each data output block includes one or more rms/ms magnitude,
peak level, and threshold crossing values from each datapath in
the stated order. If enabled, the data is sent, rms first, followed by
peak and threshold, as shown in Figure 71.

AD9640
BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST) AND OUTPUT TEST
The AD9640 includes built-in test features to enable verification
of the integrity of each channel as well as to facilitate board level
debugging. A built-in self-test (BIST) feature is included that
verifies the integrity of the digital data path of the AD9640.
Various output test options are also provided to place predictable
values on the outputs of the AD9640.
BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST)
The BIST is a thorough test of the digital portion of the selected
AD9640 signal path. When enabled, the test runs from an internal
PN source through the digital data path starting at the ADC
block output. The BIST sequence runs for 512 cycles and stops.
The BIST signature value for Channel A or Channel B is placed
in Register 0x024 and Register 0x025. If one channel is chosen,
its BIST signature is written to the two registers. If both channels
are chosen, the results from the A channel are placed in the
BIST signature register.
The outputs are not disconnected during this test, so the PN
sequence can be observed as it runs. The PN sequence can be
continued from its last value or started from the beginning,
based on the value programmed in Register 0x00E, Bit 2. The
BIST signature result varies based on the channel configuration.
OUTPUT TEST MODES
The output test options are shown in Tabl e 25 . When an output
test mode is enabled, the analog section of the ADC is disconnected from the digital backend blocks and the test pattern is run
through the output formatting block. Some of the test patterns are
subject to output formatting and some are not. The seed value for
the PN sequence tests can be forced if the PN reset bits are used
to hold the generator in reset mode by setting Bit 4 or Bit 5 of
Register 0x0D. These tests can be performed with or without
an analog signal (if present, the analog signal is ignored), but
they do require an encode clock. For more information, see the
AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
Rev. B | Page 38 of 52
AD9640
CHANNEL/CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION
The AD9640 has a SYNC input that allows the user flexible
synchronization options for synchronizing the internal blocks.
The clock divider sync feature is useful to guarantee synchronized
sample clocks across multiple ADCs. The signal monitor block
can also be synchronized using the SYNC input allowing properties
of the input signal to be measured during a specific time period.
The input clock divider can be enabled to synchronize on a single
occurrence of the sync signal or on every occurrence. The signal
monitor block is synchronized on every SYNC input signal.
The SYNC input is internally synchronized to the sample clock;
however, to ensure there is no timing uncertainty between multiple
parts, the SYNC input signal should be externally synchronized to
the input clock signal, meeting the setup and hold times shown
in Tab l e 8. The SYNC input should be driven using a singleended CMOS-type signal.
Rev. B | Page 39 of 52
AD9640
SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)
The AD9640 serial port interface (SPI) allows the user to
configure the converter for specific functions or operations
through a structured register space provided inside the ADC.
This gives the user added flexibility and customization
depending on the application. Addresses are accessed via the
serial port and can be written to or read from via the port.
Memory is organized into bytes that can be further divided into
fields, which are documented in the Memory Map section. For
detailed operational information, see the AN-877 Application
Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
There are three pins that define the SPI of this ADC. They are
the SCLK/DFS pin, the SDIO/DCS pin, and the CSB pin (see
Tabl e 22 ). The SCLK/DFS (a serial clock) is used to synchronize
the read and write data presented from and to the ADC. The
SDIO/DCS (serial data input/output) is a dual-purpose pin that
allows data to be sent and read from the internal ADC memory
map registers. The CSB (chip select bar) is an active-low control
that enables or disables the read and write cycles.
Table 22. Serial Port Interface Pins
Pin Function
Serial Clock. The serial shift clock input. SCLK is used to
SCLK
synchronize serial interface reads and writes.
Serial Data Input/Output. A dual-purpose pin. The typical
SDIO
role for this pin is an input and output depending on the
instruction being sent and the relative position in the
timing frame.
Chip Select Bar. An active-low control that gates the read
CSB
and write cycles.
The falling edge of the CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge
of the SCLK, determines the start of the framing. An example of
the serial timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 73
and Tab l e 8 .
Other modes involving the CSB are available. The CSB can be
held low indefinitely, which permanently enables the device;
this is called streaming. The CSB may stall high between bytes
to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied high,
SPI functions are placed in high impedance mode. This mode
turns on any SPI pin secondary functions.
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
Data follows the instruction phase, and its length is determined
by the W0 and W1 bits. All data is composed of 8-bit words.
The first bit of the first byte in a multibyte serial data transfer frame
indicates whether a read command or a write command is
issued. This allows the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to
change direction from an input to an output.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines if
the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing the serial
port to be used to both program the chip as well as read the
contents of the on-chip memory. If the instruction is a readback
operation, performing a readback causes the serial data input/
output (SDIO) pin to change direction from an input to an output
at the appropriate point in the serial frame.
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or LSB first mode. MSB
first is the default on power-up and can be changed via the
configuration register. For more information about this and
other features, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The pins described in Ta b l e 22 comprise the physical interface
between the user’s programming device and the serial port of
the AD9640. The SCLK pin and the CSB pin function as inputs
when using the SPI interface. The SDIO pin is bidirectional,
functioning as an input during write phases and as an output
during readback.
The SPI interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either
FPGAs or microcontrollers. One method for SPI configuration
is described in detail in the AN-812 Application Note,
Microcontroller-Based Serial Port Interface Boot Circuit.
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK signal, the CSB signal, and the SDIO signal are typically
asynchronous to the ADC clock, noise from these signals can
degrade converter performance. If the on-board SPI bus is utilized
for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between
this bus and the AD9640 to keep these signals from transitioning
at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.
Some pins serve a dual function when the SPI interface is not
being used. When the pins are strapped to AVDD or ground
during device power-on, they are associated with a specific
function. The
functions supported on the AD9640.
Digital Outputs section describes the strappable

AD9640
CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI
In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers,
the SDIO/DCS pin, the SCLK/DFS pin, the SMI SDO/OEB pin,
and the SMI SCLK/PDWN pin serve as standalone, CMOScompatible control pins. When the device is powered up, it is
assumed that the user intends to use the pins as static control
lines for the duty cycle stabilizer, output data format, output
enable, and power-down feature control. In this mode, the CSB
chip select should be connected to AVDD, which disables the
serial port interface.
A brief description of general features accessible via the SPI
follows. These features are described in detail in the AN-877
Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. The
AD9640 part-specific features are described in detail following
Tabl e 25 , the external memory map register table.

MEMORY MAP
READING THE MEMORY MAP TABLE
Each row in the memory map table has eight bit locations. The
memory map is roughly divided into four sections: chip configuration and ID register map (Address 0x00 to Address 0x02); ADC
setup, control, and test (Address 0x08 to Address 0x25); the
channel index and transfer register map (Address 0x05 to
Address 0xFF); and digital feature control (Address 0x100 to
Address 0x11B).
Starting from the right hand column, the memory map register
in Tabl e 25 documents the default hex value for each hex address
shown. The column with the heading Bit 7 (MSB) is the start
of the default hex value given. For example, Address 0x18, VREF
select, has a hex default value of 0xC0. This means Bit 7 = 1,
Bit 6 = 1, and the remaining bits are 0s. This setting is the default
reference selection setting. The default value uses a 2.0 V peakto-peak reference. For more information on this function and
others, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. This document details the functions controlled by
Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF. The remaining registers, from
Register 0x100 to Register 0x11B, are documented in the Memory
Map Register Description section.
Open Locations
All address and bit locations that are not included in Tab l e 2 5
are currently not supported for this device. Unused bits of a
valid address location should be written with 0s. Writing to these
locations is required only when part of an address location is
open (for example, Address 0x18). If the entire address location
is open (for example, Address 0x13), this address location should
not be written.
Default Values
Coming out of reset, critical registers are loaded with default
values. The default values for the registers are given in the
memory map register table, Tabl e 25.
Logic Levels
An explanation of logic level terminology follows:
• “Bit is set” is synonymous with “Bit is set to Logic 1” or
“Writing Logic 1 for the bit.”
• “Clear a bit” is synonymous with “Bit is set to Logic 0” or
“Writing Logic 0 for the bit.”
Transfer Register Map
Address 0x08 to Address 0x18 are shadowed. Writes to these
addresses do not affect part operation until a transfer command
is issued by writing 0x01 to Address 0xFF, setting the transfer bit.
This allows these registers to be updated internally and simultaneously when the transfer bit is set. The internal update takes
place when the transfer bit is set, and the bit autoclears.
Channel-Specific Registers
Some channel setup functions, such as the signal monitor
thresholds, can be programmed differently for each channel.
In these cases, channel address locations are internally duplicated
for each channel. These registers are designated in the parameter
name column of Tab le 2 5 as local registers. These local registers
can be accessed by setting the appropriate Channel A or Channel B
bits in Register 0x05. If both bits are set, the subsequent write
affects the registers of both channels. In a read cycle, only
Channel A or Channel B should be set to read one of the two
registers. If both bits are set during an SPI read cycle, the part
returns the value for Channel A. Registers designated as global
in the parameter name column of Tabl e 25 affect the entire part
or the channel features where independent settings are not
allowed between the channels. The settings in Register 0x05
do not affect the global registers.

MEMORY MAP REGISTER DESCRIPTION
For additional information about functions controlled in
Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF, see the AN-877 Application Note,
Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.
Sync Control (Register 0x100)
Bit 7—Signal Monitor Sync Enable
Bit 7 enables the sync pulse from the external SYNC input to
the signal monitor block. The sync signal is passed when Bit 7
is high and Bit 0 is high. This is continuous sync mode.
Bits[6:3]—Reserved
Bit 2—Clock Divider Next Sync Only
If the sync enable bit (Address 0x100[0]) is high and the clock
divider sync enable (Address 0x100[1]) is high, Bit 2 allows the
clock divider to sync to the first sync pulse it receives and ignore
the rest. Address 0x100[1] resets after it syncs.
Bit 1—Clock Divider Sync Enable
Bit 1 gates the sync pulse to the clock divider. The sync signal is
passed when Bit 1 is high and Bit 0 is high. This is continuous
sync mode.
Bit 0—Master Sync Enable
Bit 0 must be high to enable any of the sync functions.
Fast Detect Control (Register 0x104)
Bits[7:4]—Reserved
Bits[3:1]—Fast Detect Mode Select
These bits set the mode of the fast detect output bits according
to Tab l e 1 7 .
Bit 0—Fast Detect Enable
Bit 0 is used to enable the fast detect bits. When the fast detect
outputs are disabled, the outputs go into a high impedance state.
In LVDS mode, when the outputs are interleaved, the outputs go
high-Z only if both channels are turned off (power-down/standby/
output disabled). If only one channel is turned off (power-down/
standby/output disabled), the fast detect outputs repeat the data
of the active channel.
Fine Upper Threshold (Register 0x106 and Register 0x107)
These registers provide the fine upper limit threshold. This 13-bit
value is compared to the 13-bit magnitude from the ADC block
and, if the ADC magnitude exceeds this threshold value, the
F_UT flag is set.
Fine Lower Threshold (Register 0x108 and Register 0x109)
These registers provide a fine lower limit threshold. This 13-bit
value is compared to the 13-bit magnitude from the ADC block
and, if the ADC magnitude is less than this threshold value, the
F_LT flag is set.
Signal Monitor DC Correction Control (Register 0x10C)
Bit 7—Reserved
Bit 6—DC Correction Freeze
When Bit 6 is set high, the dc correction is no longer updated
to the signal monitoring block. It holds the last dc value it
calculated.
Bits[5:2]—DC Correction Bandwidth
These bits set the averaging time of the signal monitor dc correction function. It is a 4-bit word that sets the bandwidth of the
correction block (see Tabl e 26).
Rev. B | Page 46 of 52
AD9640
Table 26. DC Correction Bandwidth
DC Correction Control Register 0x10C[5:2] Bandwidth (Hz)
Setting Bit 1 high causes the output of the dc measurement
block to be summed with the data in the signal path to remove
the dc offset from the signal path.
Bit 0—DC Correction for SM Enable
Bit 0 enables the dc correction function in the signal monitoring
block. The dc correction is an averaging function that can be
used by the signal monitor to remove dc offset in the signal.
Removing this dc from the measurement allows a more accurate
reading.
Signal Monitor DC Value Channel A (Register 0x10D and
Register 0x10E)
Register 0x10D, Bits[7:0]—Channel A DC Value[7:0]
Register 0x10E, Bits[7:0]—Channel A DC Value[13:8]
These read-only registers hold the latest dc offset value computed
by the signal monitor for Channel A.
Signal Monitor DC Value Channel B (Register 0x10F and
Register 0x110)
Register 0x10F Bits[7:0]—Channel B DC Value[7:0]
Register 0x110 Bits[7:0]—Channel B DC Value[13:8]
These read-only registers hold the latest dc offset value computed
by the signal monitor for Channel B.
Signal Monitor SPORT Control (Register 0x111)
Bit 7—Reserved
Bit 6—RMS/MS Magnitude Output Enable
These bits enable the 20-bit rms or ms magnitude measurement
as output on the SPORT.
Rev. B | Page 47 of 52
Bit 5—Peak Power Output Enable
Bit 5 enables the 13-bit peak measurement as output on
the SPORT.
Bit 4—Threshold Crossing Output Enable
Bit 4 enables the 13-bit threshold measurement as output on
the SPORT.
Bits[3:2]—SPORT SMI SCLK Divide
The values of these bits set the SPORT SMI SCLK divide ratio
from the input clock. A value of 0x01 sets divide by 2 (default),
a value of 0x10 sets divide by 4, and a value of 0x11 sets divide by 8.
Bit 1— SPORT SMI SCLK Sleep
Setting Bit 1 high causes the SMI SCLK to remain low when the
signal monitor block has no data to transfer.
Bit 0—Signal Monitor SPORT Output Enable
When set, Bit 0 enables the SPORT output of the signal monitor
to begin shifting out the result data from the signal monitor block.
Signal Monitor Control (Register 0x112)
Bit 7—Complex Power Calculation Mode Enable
This mode assumes I data is present on one channel and Q data
is present on the opposite channel. The result reported is the
complex power, measured as
22
QI +
Bits[6:4]—Reserved
Bit 3—Signal Monitor RMS/MS Select
Setting Bit 3 low selects rms power measurement mode. Setting
Bit 3 high selects ms power measurement mode.
Bits[2:1]—Signal Monitor Mode
Bit 2 and Bit 1 set the mode of the signal monitor for data output
to Register 0x116 to Register 0x11B. Setting Bit 2 and Bit 1 to
0x00 selects rms/ms power output; setting these bits to 0x01
selects peak power output; and setting 0x10 or 0x11 selects
threshold crossing output.
Bit 0—Signal Monitor Enable
Setting Bit 0 high enables the signal monitor block.
Signal Monitor Period (Register 0x113 to Register 0x115)
This 24-bit value sets the number of clock cycles over which the
signal monitor performs its operation. Although this register
defaults to 64 (0x40), the minimum value for this register is 128
(0x80) cycles – writing values less than 128 can cause inaccurate
results.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Before starting design and layout of the AD9640 as a system,
it is recommended that the designer become familiar with these
guidelines, which discuss the special circuit connections and
layout requirements needed for certain pins.
Power and Ground Recommendations
When connecting power to the AD9640, it is recommended
that two separate 1.8 V supplies be used: one supply should be
used for analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD), and a separate
supply should be used for the digital outputs (DRVDD). The
AVDD and DVDD supplies, while derived from the same
source, should be isolated with a ferrite bead or filter choke
and separate decoupling capacitors. The user can employ
several different decoupling capacitors to cover both high
and low frequencies. These should be located close to the
point of entry at the PC board level and close to the part’s
pins with minimal trace length.
A single PCB ground plane should be sufficient when using the
AD9640. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the
PCB analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance
is easily achieved.
LVDS Operation
The AD9640 defaults to CMOS output mode on power-up.
If LVDS operation is desired, this mode must be programmed
using the SPI configuration registers after power-up. When the
AD9640 powers up in CMOS mode with LVDS termination
resistors (100 Ω) on the outputs, the DRVDD current may be
higher than the typical value until the part is placed in LVDS
mode. This additional DRVDD current does not cause damage
to the AD9640, but it should be taken into account when considering the maximum DRVDD current for the part.
To avoid this additional DRVDD current, the AD9640 outputs
can be disabled at power-up by taking the OEB pin high. After
the part is placed into LVDS mode via the SPI port, the OEB
pin can be taken low to enable the outputs.
Exposed Paddle Thermal Heat Slug Recommendations
It is mandatory that the exposed paddle on the underside of the
ADC be connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the
best electrical and thermal performance. A continuous, exposed
(no solder mask), copper plane on the PCB should mate to the
AD9640 exposed paddle, Pin 0.
The copper plane should have several vias to achieve the lowest
possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to flow
through the bottom of the PCB. These vias should be filled or
plugged with nonconductive epoxy.
To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and
PCB, a silkscreen should be overlaid to partition the continuous
plane on the PCB into several uniform sections. This provides
several tie points between the two during the reflow process.
Using one continuous plane with no partitions guarantees only
one tie point between the ADC and PCB. See the evaluation
board for a PCB layout example. For detailed information about
packaging and PCB layout of chip scale packages, see the AN-772
Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).
CML
The CML pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 F
capacitor, as shown in Figure 47.
RBIAS
The AD9640 requires that a 10 kΩ resistor be placed between
the RBIAS pin and ground. This resistor sets the master current
reference of the ADC core and should have at least a 1% tolerance.
Reference Decoupling
The VREF pin should be externally decoupled to ground with a
low ESR 1.0 F capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 F ceramic, low
ESR capacitor.
SPI Port
The SPI port should not be active during periods when the full
dynamic performance of the converter is required. Because the
SCLK, CSB, and SDIO signals are typically asynchronous to the
ADC clock, noise from these signals can degrade converter
performance. If the on-board SPI bus is used for other devices,
it may be necessary to provide buffers between this bus and the
AD9640 to keep these signals from transitioning at the converter
inputs during critical sampling periods.
