The product family allows the system designer an upward or downward component 0 selection path based on dynamic performance, sample rate, and AD9220 power. The analog input range of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is highly flexible, allowing for both single-ended or differen- –3AD9223 tial inputs of varying amplitudes that can be ac or dc coupled. Each device shares the same interface options, pinout, and package offering. –6 The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 utilize a four-stage pipeline AD9221AMPLITUDE – dB architecture with a wideband input sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) implemented on a cost-effective CMOS process. Each –9 stage of the pipeline, excluding the last stage, consists of a low resolution flash A/D connected to a switched capacitor DAC and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The residue amplifier –12110100 amplifies the difference between the reconstructed DAC output FREQUENCY – MHz and the flash input for the next stage in the pipeline. One bit of redundancy is used in each of the stages to facilitate digital Figure 2. Full-Power Bandwidth correction of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a flash A/D. 4000 The pipeline architecture allows a greater throughput rate at the AD9220 expense of pipeline delay or latency. This means that while the AD9223AD9221 converter is capable of capturing a new input sample every clock 3000 cycle, it actually takes three clock cycles for the conversion to be fully processed and appear at the output. This latency is not a concern in most applications. The digital output, together with 2000CODE the out-of-range indicator (OTR), is latched into an output buffer to drive the output pins. The output drivers can be configured to interface with 5 V or 3.3 V logic families. 1000 The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 use both edges of the clock in their internal timing circuitry (see Figure 1 and Specifications 0 for exact timing requirements). The A/D samples the analog 0102030405060 input on the rising edge of the clock input. During the clock low SETTLING TIME – ns time (between the falling edge and rising edge of the clock), the input SHA is in the sample mode; during the clock high time, it Figure 3. Settling Time is in hold. System disturbances just prior to the rising edge of the clock and/or excessive clock jitter may cause the input SHA ANALOG INPUT AND REFERENCE OVERVIEW to acquire the wrong value, and should be minimized.

Both figures reveal that higher full- power bandwidths and faster settling times are achieved at the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 expense of an increase in power dissipation. Similarly, a trade- VINA+VREF off exists between the sampling rate and the power dissipated VCORE12A/D in each stage. CORE As previously stated, the AD9221, AD9223, and AD9220 are VINB–V similar in most aspects except for the specified sampling rate, REF power consumption, and dynamic performance.
