Both cores comply with specifications when OTP is loaded. Static and dynamic characteristics are detailed, including gain variation, DC offset, differential non-linearity, integral non-linearity, and various dynamic performance metrics such as noise power ratio, spurious free dynamic range, total harmonic distortion, signal to noise ratio, and effective number of bits.
Transient and Switching Characteristics: Values are specified for dual-rail configuration at 25°C with SDA disabled. Key parameters include ADC code error rate, overvoltage recovery time, external clock frequency, sampling frequency for performance and operation, aperture delay, and LVDS output characteristics such as rise and fall times, output data pipeline delay, and synchronization timing.
Digital Output Coding: The ADC digital output coding table provides binary representations for differential analog input voltage levels, ranging from top end of full scale to bottom of full scale.
Definitions: Key terms are defined, including Code Error Rate (CER), Differential Non-Linearity (DNL), and Effective Number Of Bits (ENOB).
Notes and Recommendations: Several notes provide additional context, such as the impact of enabling SDA on power consumption, the importance of input impedance trimming for optimal performance, and the effects of bandwidth selection on noise and linearity trade-offs.
Package Description: The ADC is packaged in a Hermetic Ceramic Column Grid Array CCGA323 with a body size of 21mm x 21mm and a mass of 7g. The substrate type is Aluminum nitride (AlN), and the lid is Kovar polarized at AGND.

Pinout: Details on power supplies, clock, and analog signals are provided, including AGND, VCCA, GNDD, VCCD, CLKP, CLKN, AINP, AINN, BINP, and BINN.
Theory of Operation: Describes the functional description of various components such as power supplies, ground connections, and input/output signals for the ADC.
Digital Reset and Startup Procedure: The ADC requires an asynchronous active low global reset (RSTN) for the SPI and OTP registers. The reset pulse must be at least 10μs during power-up. The SPI interface can be used to configure the ADC, or default configurations are loaded if the SPI is not used.
Using the SPI Interface: The startup sequence involves resetting the device, waking up fuses, sending a specific SPI instruction, configuring the ADC, and applying a synchronization pulse. The ADC can then operate normally.
Without Using the SPI Interface: The default configuration is used, and the startup sequence involves resetting the device, waking up fuses, and applying a synchronization pulse.
SPI Characteristics: The SPI interface uses five signals: RSTN, SCLK, CSN, MISO, and MOSI. It follows a standard protocol with 8 address bits and 16 data bits. The MOSI sequence starts with '0' for read and '1' for write procedures.
Register Mapping and Default Configuration: The document provides a detailed register map with addresses, access types, default values, and descriptions. Key registers include CHIP_ID, CHIP_CTRL, A_CMIREF, and B_CMIREF, among others.
Output Selection: The ADC output can be configured in DEMUX 1:1 or 1:2 modes. Control bits XFU1 and XFU2 can output in-range, parity, or trigger signals. The swing of the data output can be adjusted to optimize power consumption.
PRBS on Data Output: A Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) can be generated for the LVDS output, either disabled, scrambling the data, or output alone. The PRBS sequence is based on X7 + X6 + 1.
Input Configuration: Input impedance trimming is important for maximizing power transmission and minimizing reflection. The DC resistance of each channel can be trimmed digitally and individually.
Input Impedance Trimming: The input impedance can be adjusted using the X_RIN register, with default value 0x10, to achieve a precision of 100Ω ±2.4Ω. The trimming step is approximately 2.4Ω.
Input Bandwidth Selection: The ADC's bandwidth is adjustable via the CHIP_CTRL register. The default nominal bandwidth (BW = ‘1’) is recommended for noise performance, while extended bandwidth (BW = ‘0’) is optimal for high frequencies (>3.4GHz).
Input Common Mode Trimming: The input common mode can be individually trimmed for each channel using the X_CMIREF register, with each step altering the common mode by 11mV over a 341mV range.
SYNC and TRIGGER Modes: Controlled via the CHIP_CTRL register, SYNC mode (TREN = ‘0’) ensures deterministic timing for synchronization, while TRIGGER mode (TREN = ‘1’) outputs a copy of the SYNCTRIG input.
SYNCO and SSO Outputs: SYNCO is a resampled copy of SYNCTRIG, and SSO is a clock signal divided by 16 of the master clock, both configurable via CHIP_CTRL.
Temperature Calibration: Factory calibration sets are available for different temperatures, selectable via the CHIP_CTRL register. Calibration loading is confirmed through CRC checking.
Test Modes: Flash and ramp test modes are available for interface validation, enabled through the TEST_MODE register.
Single Event Protection: Extra protection against radiation effects is available via the EXTRA_SEE_PROTECT register, which disables SYNCTRIG input in SYNC mode.
Interleaving and Calibration: Sampling clocks can be interleaved or aligned, with calibration for offset, gain, and phase available through respective registers.
Sampling Delay Adjust (SDA): The sampling instant is adjustable with a range of ~90ps, configured via the X_SDA_CTRL register.
Stand-by Modes: Channels can be independently put into stand-by mode using the STDBY register.
Power Management and Temperature Monitoring: The ADC supports a standby mode for power saving, with separate configurations for channels A and B. It features a die temperature monitoring diode, which can be probed using standard sensors to determine junction temperature.
Characterization Results: The document includes various performance graphs such as bandwidth up to 5.5GHz, crosstalk between channels, and INL performances at different clock frequencies. FFT performance is analyzed against input frequency and temperature.
Application Information: Recommendations for power supplies and decoupling are provided, emphasizing the use of ferrite and decoupling capacitance to prevent power supply pollution. The document also discusses analog input configurations and their impact on device linearity.
Ordering Information: The document lists different models available for prototypes, engineering models, and flight models, detailing their package types, temperature ranges, and screening levels.
Revision History: The document was issued in February 2018, derived from a previous datasheet version.
