Product details
Overview
AD9059BRSZ from Analog Devices is a dual 8-bit, 60 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with on-chip 2.5 V reference, 120 MHz analog bandwidth, and single 5 V supply operation-designed for RGB video digitization, QAM demodulators, and medical imaging systems requiring simultaneous sampling of two analog signals.
For engineers reviewing the AD9059BRSZ datasheet, AD9059BRSZ pinout, AD9059BRSZ application, or AD9059BRSZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior (aperture delay = 2.7 ns), dynamic performance at 76 MHz input (SINAD = 43.5 dB), and validated alternatives for dual-channel 8-bit ADC selection in high-speed data acquisition.
Technical Context
The AD9059BRSZ integrates two independent flash-based ADC channels sharing a single TTL/CMOS-compatible ENCODE input, enabling simultaneous sampling on the rising edge with three-pipeline-stage MagAmp/Flash architecture. It features dual track-and-hold circuits, internal 2.5 V bandgap reference (±10 ppm/°C), and offset binary coding.
All digital outputs (D0A–D7A and D0B–D7B) are CMOS-compatible and configurable for 3 V or 5 V logic levels via separate VDD pins; power-down mode (PWRDN = HIGH) reduces dissipation to <12 mW while maintaining reference bias and driving outputs to high-impedance state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8 bits - defines quantization step size of ~3.9 mV over 1 Vp-p full-scale range |
| Sampling Rate | 60 MSPS maximum - supports pixel clocking up to 60 MHz in RGB video digitizers |
| Analog Bandwidth | 120 MHz typical - enables accurate digitization of IF signals up to 76 MHz (SINAD = 43.5 dB) |
| Power Dissipation | 400 mW typical at 60 MSPS - low enough for dense PCB layouts without forced air cooling |
| Aperture Uncertainty | 5 ps rms - limits SNR degradation at high input frequencies (e.g., 76 MHz) |
| Channel Matching | Gain delta ±1% FS, offset delta ±4 mV - ensures consistent I/Q signal pair fidelity in demodulator applications |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.1 V - internally generated, stable enough to eliminate external reference in cost-sensitive designs |
Pinout & Package
AD9059BRSZ is housed in a 28-lead shrink small outline package (SSOP, RS-28), 10.5 mm × 5.6 mm footprint, 1.75 mm height, JEDEC MO-150AH compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 28 | AINA, AINB | High-impedance (150 kΩ) single-ended analog inputs for Channel A and B; accept 1 Vp-p centered at 2.5 V |
| 2 | VREF | 2.5 V internal reference output; can be bypassed (0.1 µF) or overdriven externally for ±10% gain adjustment |
| 3 | PWRDN | Active-HIGH power-down control; places all digital outputs in high-impedance state and reduces total power to <12 mW |
| 4, 25 | VD | Analog 5 V supply; powers core ADC circuitry, track-and-hold, and reference - must be decoupled locally |
| 5, 24, 27 | GND | Dedicated ground connections; require low-inductance layout to minimize noise coupling between analog and digital sections |
| 6, 23 | VDD | Digital output supply (3 V or 5 V); isolated from VD to prevent digital switching noise from modulating analog conversion |
| 7–14 | D7A–D0A | Parallel 8-bit offset binary outputs for Channel A; MSB-first, valid 4.0–6.6 ns after ENCODE rising edge |
| 15–22 | D7B–D0B | Parallel 8-bit offset binary outputs for Channel B; identical timing and loading specs as Channel A outputs |
| 26 | ENCODE | TTL/CMOS-compatible clock input; rising edge triggers simultaneous sampling on both channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronized ADCs | Single ENCODE input controls both channels simultaneously - eliminates inter-channel skew in I/Q receivers |
| Integrated 2.5 V reference | Eliminates need for external precision reference IC or resistor divider network in most applications |
| Configurable digital interface | VDD pin accepts 3 V or 5 V - enables direct connection to FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller ports without level shifters |
| Low-power power-down mode | Reduces system idle power by >97% (from 400 mW to <12 mW) while preserving reference stability for fast wake-up |
| On-chip track-and-hold | Supports full 120 MHz analog bandwidth without external THA - simplifies front-end design for IF sampling |
Applications
| RGB Video Digitization | QAM Demodulation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing red, green, and blue analog video signals at 60 MSPS for real-time display processing in broadcast monitors and medical endoscopy systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual ADC performs parallel digitization of two color channels (e.g., R+G or Y+C) with matched gain/offset to preserve chroma fidelity. Use Value: 120 MHz analog bandwidth ensures <1 LSB settling error across pixel transitions; channel matching (<±1% gain delta) prevents color fringing. |
Use Scenario: Direct IF sampling in cable/satellite modem receivers where I and Q baseband signals are derived from quadrature downconversion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Simultaneous sampling of I and Q paths using shared ENCODE clock eliminates phase misalignment between channels. Use Value: Aperture uncertainty of 5 ps rms maintains EVM integrity at 64-QAM; crosstalk rejection >50 dBc prevents I/Q leakage-induced constellation distortion. |
| Digital Data Storage Read Channels | Medical Imaging Signal Acquisition |
Use Scenario: Converting analog playback waveforms from magnetic tape or optical disc read heads into digital streams for error correction and decoding. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High SNR (46 dB at 10.3 MHz) and low harmonic distortion enable reliable recovery of encoded data patterns under noisy conditions. Use Value: 60 MSPS rate supports oversampling of NRZ data streams; power-down mode allows burst-mode operation to reduce thermal load during idle intervals. |
Use Scenario: Digitizing ultrasound echo return signals or MRI gradient coil feedback in portable diagnostic equipment with strict power and size constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel architecture captures differential transducer pairs or time-multiplexed beamformed data with minimal latency. Use Value: Single 5 V supply and integrated reference reduce BOM count by ≥3 components; industrial temp range (–40°C to +85°C) supports field-deployable units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel 8-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9057BRSZ | Single-channel 8-bit, 60 MSPS ADC; same core architecture and pinout subset but lacks second channel and associated pins (D0B–D7B, AINB) | Used where only one analog path requires digitization - not suitable for I/Q or stereo applications | Select AD9057BRSZ when board space or cost must be minimized and dual-channel capability is unnecessary |
| MAX1186EEE+ | Dual 8-bit, 40 MSPS ADC; lower max sample rate, no integrated reference, requires external 2.5 V reference and separate power supplies for analog/digital sections | Suitable for lower-bandwidth instrumentation where 60 MSPS is not required and external reference is acceptable | Choose MAX1186EEE+ only if encode rate ≤40 MSPS suffices and design already includes precision reference infrastructure |
Compared with AD9059BRSZ, AD9057BRSZ reduces channel count and package I/O but sacrifices simultaneous dual-path capture, while MAX1186EEE+ trades sampling speed and integration for broader supply flexibility and legacy compatibility - neither offers drop-in replacement capability.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum analog input voltage for the AD9059BRSZ?
The AD9059BRSZ specifies an absolute maximum analog input voltage range of –0.5 V to VD + 0.5 V. With VD = 5 V, this translates to –0.5 V to +5.5 V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 1 Vp-p centered at 2.5 V (i.e., 2.0 V to 3.0 V), as confirmed in the Functional Description and Electrical Characteristics tables of the AD9059BRSZ datasheet.
Does the AD9059BRSZ support independent power-down of each ADC channel?
No, the AD9059BRSZ does not support independent channel power-down. Its PWRDN pin (Pin 3) globally disables both ADC A and ADC B simultaneously, placing all digital outputs (D0A–D7A and D0B–D7B) into high-impedance state and reducing total power to <12 mW. This behavior is explicitly stated in the Product Description and Using the AD9059 section: "Both ADC channels are controlled simultaneously by the PWRDN pin; they cannot be shut down or turned on independently."
Can the AD9059BRSZ operate with a 3 V analog supply (VD)?
No, the AD9059BRSZ requires a 5 V analog supply on the VD pin (Pins 4 and 25). The Absolute Maximum Ratings specify VD up to 7 V, and all electrical specifications-including power dissipation, dynamic performance, and analog bandwidth-are characterized at VD = 5 V. The datasheet contains no test data or operational guidance for VD < 4.5 V, and attempting 3 V operation would violate the specified operating conditions for the AD9059BRSZ.
What is the guaranteed minimum ENCODE pulsewidth for reliable operation of the AD9059BRSZ?
The AD9059BRSZ guarantees reliable operation with a minimum ENCODE pulsewidth high (tEH) and low (tEL) of 6.7 ns each, as specified in the Switching Performance table under Test Level IV (guaranteed by design and characterization). This value is confirmed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and forms the basis for timing margin calculations in PCB layout and clock driver selection for the AD9059BRSZ.
Is the AD9059BRSZ pin-compatible with the AD9059/PCB evaluation board?
Yes, the AD9059BRSZ is pin-compatible with the AD9059/PCB evaluation board. The board schematic (Figure 7) explicitly labels U1 as "AD9059RS", matching the RS-28 package designation used for AD9059BRSZ. Pin numbering, functions (e.g., AINA=Pin1, AINB=Pin28, ENCODE=Pin26), and power/ground assignments align exactly with the AD9059BRSZ pin configuration diagram and functional description - enabling direct socket replacement without hardware modification.
