Digital Outputs

The off chip drivers on the chip can be configured by the

user to provide CMOS or LVDS compatible output levels

via pin S2.

The CMOS digital outputs (S2=0) are TTL/CMOS-

compatible for lower power consumption. The outputs are

biased from a separate supply (VDD), allowing easy

interface to external logic. The outputs are CMOS devices

which will swing from ground to VDD (with no dc load). It

is recommended to minimize the capacitive load the ADC

drives by keeping the output traces short (<1 inch, for a total

recommended to place low value (220 ohm) series damping

resistors on the data lines to reduce switching transient

effects on performance.

LVDS outputs are available when S2=VDD and a 3.7K

RSET resistor is placed at pin 7 ( LVDSBIAS) to ground .

This resistor sets the output current at each output equal to a

termination resistor placed at the lvds receiver inputs results

in a nominal 350mV voltage swing at the receiver. Note that

when operating in LVDS mode the output supply must be at

a dc potential greater than or equal to the analog supply level

(AVDD). This can be accomplished simply by biasing the

two supplies from the same power plane or by tying the two

supplies on the pcb through an inductor. When operating in

CMOS mode this is not required and separate supplies are

recommended.

Clock Outputs (DCO+, DCO-)

The input ENCODE is divided by two (in CMOS mode) and

available off-chip at DCO+ and DCO-. These clocks can

facilitate latching off-chip, providing a low skew clocking

solution (see timing diagram). The on-chip clock buffers

should not drive more than 5 pF of capacitance to limit

switching transient effects on performance.

Note that the Outputs clocks are CMOS levels when CMOS

mode is selected(S2=0) and are LVDS levels when in LVDS

mode(S2=VDD). (Requiring a 100ohm differential

termination at receiver in LVDS mode). The output clock in

LVDS mode switches at the encode rate.

Voltage Reference

A stable and accurate 1.25 V voltage reference is built into

the AD9430 (VREF). The analog input Full Scale Range is

linearly proportional to the voltage at VREF. VREF (and in

turn input full scale ) can be varied by adding an external

resistor network at VREF, SENSE and GROUND. (See

figure X ) . No appreciable degradation in performance

occurs when VREF is adjusted ±5%. Note that an external

reference can be used by connecting the SENSE pin to VDD

(disabling internal reference) and driving VREF with the

external reference source. A .1uF capacitor to ground is

recommended at VREF pin in internal and external reference

applications.
