PRODUCTION DATA
To maximize the SNR performance of the ADC a low jitter (< 50 fs) sampling clock is required. Figure 7-100 shows the estimated SNR performance vs input frequency vs external clock jitter. The internal ADC aperture jitter also has some dependency to the clock amplitude (gets more sensitive with higher input frequency) as shown in Figure 7-101.
When using averaging and/or decimation, the SNR for a single ADC core is estimated first before adding the SNR improvement from internal averaging and/or decimation.
