9.2.4 Application Performance Plots

The following application curves demonstrate performance and results only of the ADC using a balun front end. The input frequency is 370MHz (FS = 500MSPS) and input amplitudes of −1 and −20dBFS are shown. Operating modes are DDC bypass and complex decimation by 8 (NCO = 360MHz).
