AD9601BCPZ-250

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The AD9601BCPZ-250 is a 10-bit monolithic sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Analog Devices Inc. It operates at a maximum conversion rate of 250 MSPS with a 700 MHz full-power analog bandwidth. The device requires a single 1.8 V supply for both analog and digital sections, consuming 322 mW at the maximum sample rate. It features an integrated track-and-hold amplifier and voltage reference, eliminating the need for external components. Digital outputs are CMOS compatible and support offset binary, two's complement, or Gray code formats via a serial port interface.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrated on-chip voltage reference and track-and-hold circuitry simplify system design by removing the requirement for external decoupling or driving components.
• CMOS-compatible digital outputs and a dedicated data clock output facilitate direct interfacing with modern FPGA technology without additional level shifting.
• A standard serial port interface allows flexible configuration of product functions including data formatting, power-down modes, gain adjustments, and test pattern generation.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Wireless and wired broadband communications
• Cable reverse path systems
• Communications test equipment
• Radar and satellite subsystems
• Power amplifier linearization

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BCPZ corresponds to the LFCSP package and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm that the -250 variant meets the required 250 MSPS performance specifications compared to lower-speed options. Ensure compatibility with the 1.8 V supply requirements and check for pin-compatible alternatives like the AD9626 if higher resolution is needed.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when high dynamic performance is required in wideband carrier and broadband systems. The AD9601 is optimized for low power dissipation while maintaining excellent linearity and SNR. Consider the interleaved mode capability if dual-port operation at up to 2 x 125 MHz is beneficial for the application architecture.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

The AD9601 belongs to a family of high-performance, low-power ADCs designed for ease of use. It is fabricated on an advanced CMOS process and is available in a 56-lead LFCSP package. The device is part of a pin-compatible family that includes the 12-bit AD9626, allowing for design flexibility across different resolution requirements within the same footprint.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The AD9626 is a pin-compatible 12-bit alternative within the same family. Verify if the increased resolution of the AD9626 is necessary or if the 10-bit resolution of the AD9601 suffices for the application's dynamic range requirements.
