JAJSFA9E November 2011 – April 2018 ADS5294
PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADS5294 is an octal-channel, 14-bit, high-speed ADC with a sample rate of up to 80 MSPS that runs off a single 1.8-V supply. All eight channels of the ADS5294 simultaneously sample the respective analog inputs at the rising edge of the input clock. The sampled signal is sequentially converted by a series of small resolution stages, with the outputs combined in a digital correction logic block. At every clock, edge the sample propagates through the pipeline resulting in a data latency of 11 clock cycles.
The 14 data bits of each channel are serialized and sent out in either 1-wire mode (one pair of LVDS pins are used) or 2-wire mode (two pairs of LVDS pins are used), depending on the LVDS output rate. When the data is output in the 2-wire mode, it reduces the serial data rate of the outputs, especially at higher sampling rates. Low-cost FPGAs are used to capture 80 MSPS / 14-bit data. Alternately, at lower sample rates, the 14-bit data is output as a single data stream over one pair of LVDS pins (1-wire mode). The device outputs a bit clock at 7x and frame clock at 1x the sample frequency in the 14-bit mode.
This 14-bit ADC achieves approximately 76-dBFS SNR at 80 MSPS. Its output resolution can be configured as 12-bit and 10-bit, if necessary. When the output resolution of the ADS5294 is 12-bit and 10-bit, SNR of 72 dBFS and 61 dBFS (respectively) is achieved.
