Product details
Overview
AD9060KE from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 75 MSPS monolithic flash analog-to-digital converter with ECL-compatible outputs, ±1.75 V bipolar analog input range, 45 pF input capacitance, and 57 dB SNR at 2.3 MHz - deployed in high-speed digital oscilloscopes and radar warning systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD9060KE datasheet, AD9060KE pinout, AD9060KE application, or AD9060KE equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing roles, and validated alternative options for high-frequency sampling systems requiring MIL-STD-883-compliant performance across 0°C to +70°C.
Technical Context
The AD9060KE implements a modified flash architecture using 512 comparators (not 1024), reducing input capacitance while maintaining linearity via quarter-point reference taps (1/4REF, 1/2REF, 3/4REF) driven at –0.875 V, 0 V, and +0.875 V respectively. Aperture uncertainty is 5 ps rms, and conversion is triggered by differential ECL ENCODE/ENCODE signals.
It features an interpolation-based LSB determination scheme, overflow detection independent of data bits, and supports four output coding formats (Binary, Inverted Binary, Twos Complement, Inverted Twos Complement) via MSB INVERT and LSBs INVERT control pins - all operating with ECL logic levels (–1.1 V / –1.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - defines quantization step size and theoretical dynamic range of 60 dB. |
| Max Conversion Rate | 75 MSPS - maximum sustained sampling rate with guaranteed SNR ≥54 dB at 2.3 MHz input. |
| Analog Input Range | ±1.75 V (at ±VSENSE) - bipolar full-scale range set by external ±VREF; exceeds typical 1 Vpp video or IF signal amplitudes. |
| Input Capacitance | 45 pF - low, stable capacitance enables wide analog bandwidth (175 MHz) and minimizes driver loading. |
| SNR @ 2.3 MHz | 54–56 dB - measured RMS signal-to-RMS noise ratio, excluding harmonics, at near-DC input frequency. |
| Aperture Uncertainty | 5 ps rms - jitter directly limits usable input frequency before ENOB degradation; critical for >10 MHz IF sampling. |
| Power Dissipation | 2.8–3.3 W - total dissipation at +25°C with +5 V/–5.2 V supplies; requires thermal management in ceramic LCC package. |
Pinout & Package
The AD9060KE is supplied in a 68-pin ceramic leadless chip carrier (E-68A) package with gull-wing-compatible terminations, designed for low thermal impedance (θJA = 15°C/W with airflow) and MIL-STD-883 compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 13, 14 | ENCODE / ENCODE | Differential ECL clock inputs; rising edge triggers sampling - must be terminated close to device to minimize jitter. |
| 8, 9 | ANALOG IN | Differential-capable single-ended analog input node; 7 kΩ input resistance, 45 pF capacitance, ±1.75 V full scale. |
| 19–23, 46–50 | D0–D9 | ECL-compatible 10-bit parallel digital outputs (D0 LSB to D9 MSB); require 100 Ω termination to –2 V. |
| 51 | OVERFLOW | ECL output asserting when ANALOG IN > +VSENSE; not tested for accuracy or delay - used for clipping indication only. |
| 11, 12, 56, 57 | +VSENSE, +VREF, –VREF, –VSENSE | Voltage sense and force connections for internal resistor ladder; enable accurate ±1.75 V reference establishment and offset nulling. |
| 7, 63, 1/2REF | 3/4REF, 1/4REF, 1/2REF | Quarter-point taps on internal ladder; driving at –0.875 V / 0 V / +0.875 V optimizes integral linearity and ac performance. |
| 59, 61 | LSBs INVERT, MSB INVERT | DC control pins (GND/+VS) selecting output coding format - non-ECL, must be hard-wired for fixed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 512-comparator flash architecture | Reduces input capacitance by ~50% vs. conventional 1024-comparator flash ADCs, improving linearity and analog bandwidth. |
| Quarter-point reference taps | 1/4REF, 1/2REF, 3/4REF terminals allow external trimming to correct ladder mismatch and improve INL by up to 0.5 LSB. |
| ECL-compatible I/O | Supports >30 MSPS system clocking with low noise coupling; eliminates need for level-shifting buffers in ECL-based backplanes. |
| Overflow indicator | Dedicated ECL output signaling overrange condition without affecting D0–D9 validity - enables real-time clipping detection in radar pulse processing. |
| MIL-STD-883 compliant version | AD9060KE meets Group A testing per MIL-STD-883 Method 5004, including burn-in and life test, for industrial reliability assurance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed flash ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9061KE | Same 10-bit/75 MSPS architecture but with improved SNR (58 dB @ 2.3 MHz) and lower power (2.5 W typ); uses identical E-68A package and pinout. | Preferred for new designs where SNR margin or thermal budget is constrained; retains full drop-in compatibility with AD9060KE PCB layouts. | Select AD9061KE when higher ac performance or lower dissipation is required without redesigning interface circuitry. |
| ADS803U | 10-bit, 30 MSPS BiCMOS pipeline ADC; CMOS outputs, 3 V supply, 125 mW power; no ECL interface or overflow pin. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed embedded systems where ECL timing integrity is unnecessary and board space is limited. | Choose ADS803U only for non-military, commercial applications below 30 MSPS with CMOS logic families and relaxed jitter requirements. |
Compared with AD9060KE, AD9061KE offers measurable SNR and power improvements within identical mechanical and electrical constraints, while ADS803U represents a functionally similar but architecturally distinct (pipeline vs. flash), lower-performance, and non-drop-in alternative for less demanding signal chains.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the AD9060KE?
The AD9060KE is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-industrial grade temperature range is confirmed in the Ordering Guide and Electrical Characteristics tables, where all AD9060KE/KZ parameters are explicitly tested and guaranteed across this span. The device uses the E-68A ceramic LCC package optimized for thermal stability within this envelope.
Does the AD9060KE support pin-compatible replacement with the AD9060JE?
No, the AD9060KE is not pin-compatible with the AD9060JE. While both share the same 68-pin footprint, the AD9060JE uses the Z-68 ceramic leaded chip carrier (gull-wing), whereas the AD9060KE uses the E-68A ceramic leadless chip carrier (LCC). Their mechanical mounting, solder profile, and thermal pad configuration differ - direct substitution would require PCB layout revision.
What reference voltage configuration is required to achieve guaranteed SNR performance for the AD9060KE?
To achieve the guaranteed 54–56 dB SNR at 2.3 MHz, the AD9060KE requires +VREF and –VREF set to deliver ±1.75 V at +VSENSE and –VSENSE, with 1/4REF, 1/2REF, and 3/4REF driven at –0.875 V, 0 V, and +0.875 V respectively. This configuration is explicitly stated in the "EXPLANATION OF TEST LEVELS" and "USING THE AD9060" sections as mandatory for production-tested ac specifications.
Can the OVERFLOW output of the AD9060KE be used for precise analog overvoltage detection?
No, the OVERFLOW output of the AD9060KE is not suitable for precise analog overvoltage detection. The datasheet states its accuracy and delay are "not tested and not included in linearity specifications," and its operation depends on layout and encode slew rate. It is intended solely as a qualitative clipping indicator - not a calibrated comparator - and must not be relied upon for closed-loop protection or measurement-critical functions involving AD9060KE.
What is the recommended termination for the ECL outputs of the AD9060KE?
The AD9060KE's D0–D9 and OVERFLOW outputs must be terminated through 100 Ω resistors to –2 V, as specified in the "DIGITAL OUTPUTS" section and confirmed in the Evaluation Board schematic. This termination ensures proper ECL logic level compliance (–1.1 V for logic "1", –1.5 V for logic "0") and prevents signal reflections that degrade timing integrity and increase jitter in high-speed sampling systems using AD9060KE.
