GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9641 is a 14-bit, 80 MSPS/155 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a high speed serial output interface. The
AD9641 is designed to support communications applications
where high performance, combined with low cost, small size, and versatility, is desired. The JESD204A high speed serial interface reduces board routing requirements and lowers pin count requirements for the receiving device.
The ADC core features a multistage, differential pipelined architecture with integrated output error correction logic. The ADC features wide bandwidth, differential sample-and-hold, analog input amplifiers that support a variety of user-selectable input ranges. An integrated voltage reference eases the design considerations. A duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) is provided to compensate for variations in the ADC clock duty cycle, allowing the converter to maintain excellent performance.

The ADC output data is routed directly to the JESD204A serial output port. This output is at CML voltage levels. A CMOS or LVDS synchronization input (DSYNC) is provided.
The flexible power-down options allow significant power savings, when desired.
Programming for setup and control is accomplished using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.
The AD9641 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. An on-chip PLL allows users to provide a single ADC
sampling clock. The PLL multiplies the ADC sampling clock to produce the corresponding JESD204A data rate clock.
2. The configurable JESD204A output block coded data rate
supports up to 1.6 Gbps.
3. A proprietary differential input maintains excellent SNR
performance for input frequencies of up to 250 MHz.
4. Operation is from a single 1.8 V power supply.
5. The standard serial port interface (SPI) supports various
product features and functions, such as data formatting (offset binary, twos complement, or Gray coding), control­ling the clock DCS, power-down, test modes, voltage reference mode, and serial output configuration.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The AD9641 can sample any fS/2 frequency segment from dc to 250 MHz, using appropriate low-pass or band-pass filtering at the ADC inputs with little loss in ADC performance.
Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized timing between multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD9641 are accomplished using a 3-wire, SPI-compatible serial interface.

ADC ARCHITECTURE

The AD9641 architecture consists of a front-end sample-and­hold circuit, 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 to operate on the 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 MDAC 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 consists of a flash ADC.
The input stage contains a differential sampling circuit that can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or single-ended modes. The output staging block aligns the data, corrects errors, and passes the data to the output buffers. The output buffers are powered from a separate supply, allowing digital output noise to be separated from the analog core. During power-down, the output buffers go into a high impedance state.

ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS

The analog input to the AD9641 is a differential switched­capacitor circuit that has been designed for optimum performance while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal switches the input alternatively between sample mode and hold mode (see Figure 48). When the input is switched into sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging the sample capacitors and settling within 1/2 of a clock cycle.
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 because the input sample capacitor is unbuffered. In combination with the driving source impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the input bandwidth. Refer to the AN-742 Application Note, Frequency Domain Response of Switched-Capacitor ADCs; the AN-827 Application Note, A Resonant Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to Switched- Capacitor ADCs; and the Analog Dialogue article, “Tr an s fo r me r­Coupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters,” for more information on this subject (refer to www.analog.com).

For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving VIN+ and VIN− should be matched, and the inputs should be differentially balanced.

Input Common Mode

The analog inputs of the AD9641 are not internally dc biased. In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias externally. Setting the device so that VCM = 0.5 × AVDD (or
0.9 V) is recommended for optimum performance. An on-board, common-mode voltage reference is included in the design and is available from the VCM pin. Using the VCM output to set the input common mode is recommended. Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode voltage of the analog input is set by the VCM pin voltage (typically, 0.5 × AVDD). The VCM pin must be decoupled to ground by a 0.1 μF capacitor. This decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the pin to minimize the series resistance and inductance between the part and this capacitor.

Differential Input Configurations

Optimum performance is achieved while driving the AD9641 in a differential input configuration. For baseband applications, the
AD8138, ADA4937-2, and ADA4938-2 differential drivers provide
excellent performance and a flexible interface to the ADC.

The output common-mode voltage of the ADA4938-2 is easily set with the VCM pin of the AD9641 (see Figure 49), and the driver can be configured in a Sallen-Key filter topology to provide band limiting of the input signal.

For baseband applications in which SNR is a key parameter, differential transformer coupling is the recommended input configuration. An example is shown in Figure 50. To bias the analog input, the voltage of VCM can be connected to the center tap of the secondary winding of the transformer.

The signal characteristics must be considered when selecting a transformer. Most RF transformers saturate at frequencies below a few megahertz (MHz). 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 AD9641. For applications where SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling is the recommended input configuration (see Figure 51). In this configu­ration, the input is ac-coupled, and the common-mode voltage (VCM) is provided to each input through a 33 Ω resistor. These resistors compensate for losses in the input baluns to provide a 50 Ω impedance to the driver.
In the double balun and transformer configurations, the value of the input capacitors and resistors is dependent on the input frequency and source impedance. Based on these parameters, the value of the input resistors and capacitors may need to be adjusted, or some components may need to be removed. Tabl e 9 displays recommended values to set the RC network for different input frequency ranges. However, these values are dependent on the input signal and bandwidth and should be used only as a starting guide.
An alternative to using a transformer-coupled input at frequencies in the second Nyquist zone is to use the AD8376 variable gain amplifier. An example drive circuit including a band-pass filter is shown in Figure 52. See the AD8376 data sheet for more information.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE

A stable and accurate voltage reference is built into the AD9641. The input full-scale range can be adjusted through the SPI port by adjusting Bit 0 through Bit 4 of Register 0x18. These bits can be used to change the full-scale value between 1.383 V p-p and
2.087 V p-p in 0.022 V steps, as shown in Table 17 .

CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS

For optimum performance, the AD9641 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 by means of a transformer or a passive component configuration. These pins are biased internally (see Figure 53) and require no external bias. If the inputs are floated, the CLK− pin is pulled low to prevent spurious clocking.
AVDD
The RF balun configuration is recommended for clock frequencies between 125 MHz and 640 MHz, and the RF transformer is recommended for clock frequencies from 40 MHz to 200 MHz. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the transformer/balun secondary limit clock excursions into the AD9641 to approxi­mately 0.8 V p-p differential.
This limit helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding through to other portions of the AD9641 while preserving the fast rise and fall times of the signal that are critical to a low jitter performance.
If a low jitter clock source is not available, another option is to ac couple a differential PECL signal to the sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 56. The AD9510/AD9511/AD9512/
AD9513/AD9514/AD9515/AD9516/AD9517/AD9518/ AD9520/AD9522 clock drivers offer excellent jitter performance.

Clock Input Options

The AD9641 has a very flexible clock input structure. Clock input can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL , or s i n e w ave sig n a l . R egard less of the type of signal being used, clock source jitter is of the most concern, as described in the Jitter Considerations section. The minimum conversion rate of the AD9641 is 40 MSPS. At clock rates below 40 MSPS, dynamic performance of the AD9641 can degrade.
Figure 54 and Figure 55 show two preferred methods for clocking the AD9641 (at clock rates up to 640 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.

AD9641

Input Clock Divider

The AD9641 contains an input clock divider with the ability to divide the input clock by integer values between 1 and 8. For divide ratios of 1, 2, or 4, the duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) is optional. For other divide ratios, such as 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the DCS must be enabled for proper part operation.
The AD9641 clock divider can be synchronized using the external SYNC input. Bit 1 and Bit 2 of Register 0x03A 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. The AD9641 requires a tight tolerance on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics.
The AD9641 contains a 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
AD9641. Noise and distortion performance are nearly flat for a
wide range of duty cycles with the DCS enabled.
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 of less than 20 MHz, nominally. The loop has a time constant associated with it that must be considered in applications in which the clock rate can change dynamically. A wait time of
1.5 μs to 5 μs is required after a dynamic clock frequency increase or decrease before the DCS loop is relocked to the input signal. During the time when 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 DCS. 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. For inputs near full scale, the degradation in SNR from the low frequency SNR (SNR frequency (f

In the equation, the rms aperture jitter represents the clock input jitter specification. IF undersampling applications are particularly sensitive to jitter, as illustrated in Figure 59. The measured curve in Figure 59 was taken using an ADC clock source with approxi­mately 65 f
of jitter, which combines with the 125 fS of jitter

inherent in the AD9641 to produce the result shown.

The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases in which aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9641. 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 another method), it should be retimed by the original clock at the last step.
Refer to the AN-501 Application Note and the AN-756 Appli cation Note for more information about jitter performance as it relates to ADCs.

CHIP SYNCHRONIZATION

The AD9641 has a SYNC input that offers the user flexible synchronization options for synchronizing the clock divider. The clock divider sync feature is useful for guaranteeing synchro­nized sample clocks across multiple ADCs. The input clock divider can be enabled to synchronize on a single occurrence of the SYNC signal or on every occurrence.
The SYNC input is internally synchronized to the sample clock; however, to ensure that 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 Tabl e 5. The SYNC input should be driven using a single-ended CMOS-type signal.

POWER DISSIPATION AND STANDBY MODE DIGITAL OUTPUTS

As shown in Figure 60, the power dissipated by the AD9641 varies with its sample rate. The data in Figure 60 was taken in JESD204A serial output mode, using the same operating conditions as those used for the Typic a l Pe r formance Characteristics.

JESD204A Transmit Top Level Description

The AD9641 digital output complies with the JEDEC Standard No. 204A (JESD204A), which describes a serial interface for data converters. JESD204A uses 8b/10b encoding, as well as optional scrambling. K28.5 and K28.7 comma symbols are used for frame synchronization, and the K28.3 control symbol is used for lane synchronization. The receiver is required to lock onto the serial data stream and recover the clock with the use of a PLL. For details on the output interface, users are encouraged to refer to the JESD204A standard.

The AD9641 is placed in power-down mode using Register 0x08, Bits[1:0] or by asserting the PDWN pin high. In this state, the ADC typically dissipates 7 mW. During power-down, the output drivers are placed in a high impedance state. Pulling the PDWN pin low returns the AD9641 to its normal operating mode. 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 power-down mode and then must be recharged when returning to normal operation.
When using the SPI port interface, the user can place the ADC in power-down mode or standby mode (Register 0x08, Bits[1:0]). Standby mode allows the user to keep the internal reference circuitry powered and the JESD204A outputs running when faster wake-up times are required.

Figure 61 shows a simplified block diagram of the JESD204A link for the AD9641. The 8b/10b encoding works by taking eight bits of data (an octet) and encoding them into a 10-bit symbol. By default in the AD9641, the 14-bit converter word is broken into two octets. Bit 13 through Bit 6 are in the first octet. The second octet contains Bit 5 through Bit 0 and two tail bits. The MSB of the tail bits can also be used to indicate an out-of-range condition. The tail bits are configured using the JESD204A link control in JESD204A Link Control Register 1, Address 0x60, Bit 6.

The two resulting octets are optionally scrambled and encoded into their corresponding 10-bit code. The scrambler function is controlled by the JESD204A scrambling and lane configuration register, Address 0x06E, Bit 7. Figure 62 shows how the 14-bit data is taken from the ADC, the tail bits are added, the two octets are scrambled, and the octets are encoded into two 10-bit symbols. Figure 63 illustrates the default data format.
The scrambler uses a self-synchronizing, polynomial-based algorithm defined by the following equation: 1 + x

AD9641

Initial Frame Synchronization

The serial interface must synchronize to the frame boundaries before data can be properly decoded. The JESD204A standard has a synchronization routine to identify the frame boundary. When the DSYNC pin is taken low for at least two clock cycles, the AD9641 enters the code group synchronization mode. The
AD9641 transmits the K28.5 comma symbol until the receiver
achieves synchronization. The receiver should then deassert the sync signal (take DSYNC high), and the AD9641 begins the initial lane alignment sequence (when enabled through Address 0x60, Bits[3:2]) and, subsequently, begins transmitting sample data. The first non-K28.5 symbol corresponds to the first octet in a frame.
The DSYNC input can be driven either from a differential LVDS source or by using a single-ended CMOS driver circuit. The DSYNC input default to LVDS mode but can be set to CMOS mode by setting Bit 4 in Address 0x61. If it is driven differen­tially from an LVDS source, an external 100 Ω termination resistor should be provided. If the DSYNC input is driven single endedly, the CMOS signal should be connected to the DSYNC+ signal, and the DSYNC− signal should be left disconnected.

Frame and Lane Alignment Monitoring and Correction

Frame alignment monitoring and correction is part of the JESD204A specification. The 14-bit word requires two octets to transmit all the data. The two octets (MSB and LSB), where F = 2, make up a frame. During normal operating conditions, frame alignment is monitored via alignment characters, which are inserted under certain conditions at the end of a frame. Tabl e 1 1 summarizes the conditions for character insertion, along with the expected characters under the various operation modes. If lane synchronization is enabled, the replacement character value depends on whether the octet is at the end of a frame or at the end of a multiframe.
Based on the operating mode, the receiver can ensure that it is still synchronized to the frame boundary by correctly receiving the replace characters.

Digital Outputs and Timing

The AD9641 has differential digital outputs that power up by default. The driver current is derived on-chip and sets the output current at each output equal to a nominal 4 mA. Each output presents a 100 Ω dynamic internal termination to reduce unwanted reflections.
A 100 Ω differential termination resistor should be placed at each receiver input to result in a nominal 400 mV peak-to-peak swing at the receiver (see Figure 65). Alternatively, single-ended 50 Ω termination can be used. When single-ended termination is used, the termination voltage should be DRVDD/2; otherwise, ac coupling capacitors can be used to terminate to any single­ended voltage.
The AD9641 digital outputs can interface with custom ASICs and FPGA receivers, providing superior switching performance in noisy environments. Single point-to-point network topologies are recommended with a single differential 100 Ω termination resistor placed as close as possible to the receiver logic. The common mode of the digital output automatically biases itself to half the supply of the receiver (that is, the common-mode voltage is 0.9 V for a receiver supply of 1.8 V) if dc-coupled connecting is used (see Figure 66).

For receiver logic that is not within the bounds of the DRVDD supply, an ac-coupled connection should be used. Place a 0.1 μF capacitor on each output pin and derive a 100 Ω differential termination close to the receiver side.
If there is no far-end receiver termination or if there is poor differential trace routing, timing errors may result. To avoid such timing errors, it is recommended that the trace length be less than 8 inches and that the differential output traces be close together and at equal lengths.

Figure 67 shows an example of the digital output (default) data eye and a time interval error (TIE) jitter histogram.
Additional SPI options allow the user to further increase the output driver voltage swing of all four outputs to drive longer trace lengths (see Address 0x15 in Tab l e 17 ). Even though this produces sharper rise and fall times on the data edges and is less prone to bit errors, the power dissipation of the DRVDD supply increases when this option is used. See the Memory Map section for more details.
The format of the output data is twos complement, by default. Tabl e 1 2 provides an example of this output coding format. To change the output data format to offset binary or Gray code, see the Memory Map section (Address 0x14 in Tab l e 1 7 ).

The lowest typical clock rate is 40 MSPS. For clock rates slower than 60 MSPS, Bit 3 should be set to 0 in the PLL control register (Address 0x21 in Tab le 1 7). This option sets the PLL loop band­width to use clock rates between 40 MSPS and 60 MSPS.
Setting Bit 2 in the output mode register (Address 0x14) allows the user to invert the digital samples from their nominal state. As shown in Figure 63, the MSB is transmitted first in the data output serial stream.

BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST) AND OUTPUT TEST

The AD9641 includes built-in test features designed to enable verification of the integrity of the channel as well as facilitate board level debugging. A BIST (built-in self-test) feature is included that verifies the integrity of the digital datapath of the AD9641. Various output test options are also provided to place predictable values on the outputs of the AD9641.

BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST)

The BIST is a thorough test of the digital portion of the selected
AD9641 signal path. When enabled, the test runs from an internal
pseudorandom noise (PN) source through the digital datapath starting at the ADC block output. The BIST sequence runs for 512 cycles and stops. The BIST signature value is placed in Register 0x24 and Register 0x25. The outputs are not disconnected during this test; therefore, the PN sequence can be observed as it runs. The PN sequence can be continued from its last value or reset from the beginning, based on the value programmed in Register 0x0E, Bit 2. The BIST signature result varies based on the channel configuration.

OUTPUT TEST MODES

Digital test patterns can be inserted at various points along the signal path within the AD9641 as shown in Figure 69. The ability to inject these signals at several locations facilitates debugging of the JESD204A serial communication link.
Register 0x0D allows test signals generated at the output of the ADC core to be fed directly into the input of the serial link. The output test options available from Register 0x0D are shown in Tabl e 1 4 . When an output test mode is enabled, the analog section of the ADC is disconnected from the digital back end 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.

There are nine digital output test pattern options available that can be initiated through the SPI (see Tabl e 1 4 for the output bit sequencing options). This feature is useful when validating receiver capture and timing. Some test patterns have two serial sequential words and can be alternated in various ways, depending on the test pattern selected. Note that some patterns do not adhere to the data format select option. In addition, custom user-defined test patterns can be assigned in the user pattern registers (Address 0x19 and Address 0x20).

SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)

The AD9641 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. The SPI 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 Memor y Map section. For detailed operational information, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.

CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI

Three pins define the SPI of this ADC: the SCLK pin, the SDIO pin, and the CSB pin (see Tabl e 1 5 ). The SCLK (a serial clock) is used to synchronize the read and write data presented from and to the ADC. The SDIO (serial data input/output) is a dual-purpose pin that allows data to be sent to and read from the internal ADC memory map registers. The CSB (chip select bar) is an active­low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles.

CLK
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 70 and Tabl e 5.
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 can stall high between bytes to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied high, SPI functions are placed in high impedance mode.
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.
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing the serial port to be used both to program the chip and to read the contents of the on-chip memory. 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. 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.
All data is composed of 8-bit words. Data can be sent in MSB­first mode or in LSB-first mode. MSB first is the default on power-up and can be changed via the SPI port 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 15 comprise the physical interface between the user programming device and the serial port of the AD9641. 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, Micro- controller-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI) 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 used for other devices, it may be necessary to provide buffers between this bus and the AD9641 to prevent these signals from transi­tioning at the converter inputs during critical sampling periods.

SPI ACCESSIBLE FEATURES

Tabl e 1 6 provides a brief description of the general features that are accessible via the SPI. These features are described in detail in the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. The AD9641 part-specific features are described in detail in the Reading the Memory Map Register Table section.

MEMORY MAP

READING THE MEMORY MAP REGISTER TABLE

Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit locations. The memory map is roughly divided into four sections: the chip configuration registers (Address 0x00 to Address 0x02); the transfer register (Address 0xFF); the ADC functions registers, including setup, control, and test (Address 0x08 to Address 0x3A); and the JESD204A configuration registers (Address 0x60 to Address 0x78).
The memory map register table (see Tab l e 1 7 ) lists the default hexadecimal value for each hexadecimal address shown. The column with the heading Bit 7 (MSB) is the start of the default hexadecimal value given. For example, Address 0x18, the input span select register, has a hexadecimal default value of 0x00. This means that Bit 0 through Bit 4 = 0, and the remaining bits are 0s. This setting is the default reference selection setting. The default value uses a 1.75 V p-p reference. For more information on this function and others, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. This application note details the functions controlled by Register 0x00 to Register 0xFF.

Open Locations

All address and bit locations that are not included in Tab l e 1 7 are not currently 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

After the AD9641 is reset, critical registers are loaded with default values. The default values for the registers are given in the memory map register table, Tab l e 1 7 .

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 through Address 0x78 are shadowed. Writes to the 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.

JESD204A Link Control Register 1 (Address 0x60)

Bit 7—Open
Bit 6—Serial Tail Bit Enable
If this bit is set, unused tail bits are padded with a pseudo random number sequence from a 31-bit LFSR (see JESD204A 5.1.4).
Bit 5—Serial Test Sample Enable
If set, JESD204A test samples are enabled, and the transport layer test sample sequence (as specified in JESD204A section
5.1.6.2) sent on all link lanes.
Bit 4—Serial Lane Synchronization Enable
If this bit is set, lane synchronization is enabled. Both sides perform lane sync; frame alignment character insertion uses either /K28.3/ or /K28.7/ control characters (see JESD204A
5.3.3.4).
Bits[3:2]—Serial Lane Alignment Sequence Mode
00: initial lane alignment sequence disabled. 01: initial lane alignment sequence enabled. 10: reserved. 11: initial lane alignment sequence always on test mode; JESD204A data link layer test mode where repeated lane alignment sequence is sent on all lanes.
Bit 1—Frame Alignment Character Insertion Disable
If Bit 1 is set, the frame alignment character insertion is disabled per JESD204A section 5.3.3.4.
Bit 0—Serial Transmit Link Power-Down
If Bit 0 is set high, the serial transmit link is held in reset with its clock gated off. The JESD204A transmitter should be powered down when changing any of the link configuration bits.

JESD204A Link Control Register 2 (Address 0x61)

Bits[7:6]—Local DSYNC Mode
00: individual/separate mode. Each link is controlled by a separate DSYNC pin that independently controls code group synchronization.
01: global mode. Any DSYNC signal causes the link to begin code group synchronization.
10: DSYNC active mode. The DSYNC signal is active; force code group synchronization.
11: DSYNC pin disabled.
Bit 5—DSYNC Pin Input Inverted
If this bit is set, the DSYNC pin of the link is inverted (active high).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

DESIGN GUIDELINES

Before starting design and layout of the AD9641 as a system, it is recommended that the designer become familiar with these guidelines, which discuss the special circuit connections and layout requirements that are needed for certain pins.

Power and Ground Recommendations

When connecting power to the AD9641, it is recommended that two separate 1.8 V supplies be used. Use one supply for analog (AVDD), and use a separate supply for the digital outputs (DRVDD). For both AVDD and DRVDD, several different decoupling capacitors should be used to cover both high and low frequencies. Place these capacitors close to the point of entry at the PCB level and close to the pins of the part, with minimal trace length.
A single PCB ground plane should be sufficient when using the
AD9641. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the
PCB analog, digital, and clock sections, optimum performance is easily achieved.

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
AD9641 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 to prevent solder wicking through the vias, which can compromise the connection.
To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and the 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 ADC and the PCB during the reflow process. Using one continuous plane with no partitions guarantees only one tie point between the ADC and the PCB. 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), at www.analog.com.
VCM
The VCM pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor, as shown in Figure 50.

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
AD9641 to keep these signals from transitioning at the converter
inputs during critical sampling periods.
