Data Sheet AD9255 THEORY OF OPERATION Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized timing between multiple devices. Programming and control of the AD9255 are accomplished using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. ADC ARCHITECTURE The AD9255 architecture consists of a front-end sample-andhold input network, 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.
AD9255 Data Sheet Dither Static Linearity The AD9255 has an optional dither mode that can be selected either using the DITHER pin or using the SPI bus. Dithering is the act of injecting a known but random amount of white noise, commonly referred to as dither, into the input of the ADC. Dithering has the effect of improving the local linearity at various points along the ADC transfer function.
Data Sheet AD9255 Table 10. Example RC Network which SNR is a key parameter, differential double balun coupling is the recommended input configuration (see Figure 68). In this configuration, the input is ac-coupled and the CML 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. Frequency Range (MHz) 0 to 100 100 to 300 R1 Series (Ω Each) 15 10 C1 Differential (pF) 18 10 C2 0.
AD9255 Data Sheet VOLTAGE REFERENCE A stable and accurate voltage reference is built into the AD9255. The input range can be adjusted by varying the reference voltage applied to the AD9255, 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 sections that follow. The Reference Decoupling section describes the best practices PCB layout of the reference.
Data Sheet AD9255 External Reference Operation Clock Input Options The use of an external reference may be necessary to enhance the gain accuracy of the ADC or improve thermal drift characteristics. Figure 73 shows the typical drift characteristics of the internal reference in 1.0 V mode. The AD9255 has a very flexible clock input structure. Clock input can be a CMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or sine wave signal.

AD9255 Data Sheet 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. 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.
Data Sheet AD9255 BUILT-IN SELF-TEST (BIST) AND OUTPUT TEST The AD9255 includes built-in self-test features designed to enable verification of the integrity of the part as well as facilitate board level debugging. A built-in self-test (BIST) feature is included that verifies the integrity of the digital datapath of the AD9255. Various output test options are also provided to place predictable values on the outputs of the AD9255.
AD9255 Data Sheet SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI) The AD9255 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.
Data Sheet AD9255 CONFIGURATION WITHOUT THE SPI SPI ACCESSIBLE FEATURES In applications that do not interface to the SPI control registers, the SDIO/DCS pin and the SCLK/DFS pin serve as standalone CMOS-compatible 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 and output data format feature control. In this mode, connect the CSB chip select to AVDD, which disables the serial port interface.
AD9255 Data Sheet 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 0x30); and the digital feature control registers (Address 0x100).
