GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9257-EP is an octal, 14-bit, 65 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with an on-chip sample-and-hold circuit
designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use.
The product operates at a conversion rate of up to 65 MSPS and
is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance and low
power in applications where a small package size is critical.
The ADC requires a single 1.8 V power supply and LVPECL-/
CMOS-/LVDS-compatible sample rate clock for full performance
operation. No external reference or driver components are
required for many applications.
The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the
appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock output (DCO) for
capturing data on the output and a frame clock output (FCO) for
signaling a new output byte are provided. Individual channel

power-down is supported and typically consumes 1 mW when
all channels are disabled. The ADC contains several features
designed to maximize flexibility and minimize system cost, such as
programmable clock and data alignment and programmable digital
test pattern generation. The available digital test patterns include
built-in deterministic and pseudorandom patterns, along with
custom user defined test patterns entered via the serial port
interface (SPI).
The AD9257-EP is available in an RoHS-compliant, 64-lead
LFCSP. It is specified over the −55°C to +125°C temperature. This
product is protected by a U.S. patent. Additional application and
technical information can be found in the AD9257 data sheet.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Small Footprint. Eight ADCs are contained in a small,
space-saving package.
2. Low Power of 55 mW/Channel at 65 MSPS with Scalable
Power Options.
3. Ease of Use. A DCO is provided that operates at frequen-
cies of up to 455 MHz and supports double data rate
(DDR) operation.
4. User Flexibility. The SPI control offers a wide range of
flexible features to meet specific system requirements.
5. Pin Compatible with the AD9637 (12-Bit Octal ADC).
