8.1 Overview

The ADC356x is a 16-bit, 250MSPS and 500MSPS, single channel analog to digital converter (ADC). The device is designed for highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and delivers a noise spectral density as low as -160dBFS/Hz. The buffered analog inputs support a programmable internal termination impedance of 100Ω and 200Ω with a full power input bandwidth of 1.4GHz (−3dB).

The ADC356x includes a quad band digital down-converter (DDC) supporting wideband decimation by 2 to narrow band decimation by 32768. The DDC uses a 48-bit NCO which supports phase coherent and phase continuous frequency hopping.

The ADC356x is outfitted with a flexible LVDS interface. In decimation bypass mode, the output data is transmitted 16 LVDS pairs with a SDR or DDR clock. When using real or complex decimation, the output data is transmitted using a serial LVDS interface. Reducing the number of lanes used as decimation increases.

The power efficient ADC architecture consumes 435mW at 500MSPS and provides power scaling with lower sampling rates (369mW at 250MSPS).
