JAJSFA9E November 2011 – April 2018 ADS5294
PRODUCTION DATA.
To ensure that the aperture delay and jitter are the same for all channels, the ADS5294 uses a clock tree network to generate individual sampling clocks for each channel. The clock, for all the channels, are matched from the source point to the sampling circuit of each of the eight internal ADCs. The variation on this delay is described in the aperture delay parameter of the output interface timing. Its variation is given by the aperture jitter number of the same table.
The ADS5294 clock input can be driven by either a differential clocks (sine wave, LVPECL, or LVDS) or a singled clock(LVCMOS). In the single-ended case, TI recommends that the use of low jitter square signals (LVCMOS levels, 1.8-V amplitude). See TI document SLYT075 for further details on the theory.
The jitter cleaner CDCM7005 SCAS793, CDCE72010 SLAS490, LMK04803 SNAS489 is suitable to generate the ADC clock of the ADS5294 and ensure the performance for the14-bit ADC with >75-dBFS SNR. Please note that the location of LVDS Rterm depends on the LVDS clock driver. Some clock devices require the Rterm at the left side of AC coupling capacitors.
