Product details
Overview
AD9218BSTZ-RL80 from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, 10-bit, 80 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip track-and-hold and internal reference. It operates from a single 3.0 V supply (2.7–3.6 V), delivers 57 dB SNR at 41 MHz input with 80 MSPS encode rate, supports 1 Vp-p or 2 Vp-p differential analog input range, and achieves –75 dBc inter-channel crosstalk-enabling high-fidelity I/Q sampling in portable test equipment and ultrasound front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 datasheet, AD9218BSTZ-RL80 pinout, AD9218BSTZ-RL80 application, or AD9218BSTZ-RL80 equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed no-missing-codes performance at 80 MSPS, user-selectable twos complement/offset binary output format, independent channel power-down capability, and pin compatibility with the AD9288 for 8-bit-to-10-bit migration paths.
Technical Context
The AD9218BSTZ-RL80 implements a bit-per-stage pipeline architecture with switch-capacitor techniques to generate the 7 MSBs and drive a 3-bit flash sub-ADC per channel. Each channel features fully differential analog input buffers with self-biased common-mode voltage (VD/3) and 300 MHz full-power analog bandwidth.
Its digital interface uses TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs powered from a separate VDD rail (2.5–3.6 V), supports data alignment mode via S1/S2 control pins, and incorporates five-cycle pipeline latency with deterministic timing referenced to rising edges of ENCA/ENCB clocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit-guarantees 1024 discrete output codes with no missing codes across industrial temperature range at 80 MSPS. |
| Sampling Rate | 80 MSPS-supports real-time digitization of IF signals up to 39 MHz (Nyquist) with 57 dB SNR and 55 dB SINAD. |
| Analog Input Range | 1 Vp-p or 2 Vp-p differential-configurable via DFS/GAIN pin; enables flexible signal scaling without external gain stages. |
| Power Dissipation | 515–550 mW total (275 mW/channel)-achieved at 80 MSPS with 3.0 V supply, enabling battery-powered scope designs. |
| Crosstalk | –75 dBc-ensures minimal coupling between Channel A and Channel B, critical for simultaneous I/Q acquisition. |
| Reference | Internal 1.24 V ±0.05 V REFOUT-eliminates need for external precision reference in most applications; tracks linearly with full-scale range. |
| Supply Range | VD = 2.7–3.6 V, VDD = 2.5–3.6 V-allows coexistence with 3.3 V or 2.5 V logic families without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
The AD9218BSTZ-RL80 is housed in a 48-lead LQFP package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AINA / AINA | Differential analog input, Channel A | Accepts 1 Vp-p or 2 Vp-p differential signal; self-biased to VD/3; 300 MHz bandwidth. |
| AINB / AINB | Differential analog input, Channel B | Independent input path with identical specs to Channel A; –75 dBc isolation from Channel A. |
| ENCA / ENCB | Encode clock inputs | TTL/CMOS-compatible; supports independent or phase-aligned clocks; minimum pulse width 5 ns (high/low) at 80 MSPS. |
| DFS/GAIN | Data format & input gain select | Configures output coding (twos complement/offset binary) and analog input range (1 Vp-p/2 Vp-p). |
| S1 / S2 | User-select control inputs | Enable power-down (both or Channel B only) or data alignment mode (½-cycle skew for synchronized dual-clock operation). |
| D0A–D9A / D0B–D9B | Digital outputs | 10-bit parallel TTL/CMOS outputs; MSB-first; high-impedance during power-down; VDD-referenced swing. |
| REFOUT | Internal reference output | 1.24 V nominal; supplies REFINA/REFINB; stable over temperature (±40 ppm/°C drift). |
| VD / VDD | Analog/digital supply rails | VD powers analog core (2.7–3.6 V); VDD powers digital outputs (2.5–3.6 V); separate routing recommended. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent ADC channels | Enables simultaneous I/Q sampling or time-interleaved acquisition without external multiplexing or synchronization logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 10-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9218BSTZ-RL105 | Higher sampling rate (105 MSPS) with identical pinout, package, and feature set; SNR degrades to 54 dB at Nyquist (51 MHz). | Required for systems needing >80 MSPS capture (e.g., wider IF bandwidths or higher symbol rates). | Select AD9218BSTZ-RL105 only if encode rate >80 MSPS is mandatory; otherwise AD9218BSTZ-RL80 offers optimal power/performance trade-off. |
| AD9288BSTZ-80 | 8-bit resolution, same 48-lead LQFP package and pinout; lower power (180 mW total), reduced SNR (49 dB at 41 MHz), no internal reference. | Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where 8-bit resolution suffices (e.g., basic waveform display, non-critical monitoring). | Choose AD9288BSTZ-80 for legacy designs or budget-limited projects; AD9218BSTZ-RL80 provides 2-bit resolution uplift with minimal integration effort. |
Compared with AD9218BSTZ-RL105, the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 reduces power by ~10% while maintaining sufficient SNR for 39 MHz IF sampling; compared with AD9288BSTZ-80, it adds 2 bits of resolution and integrated reference at modest power cost-making it the preferred choice for mid-tier test and medical instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the AD9218BSTZ-RL80?
The AD9218BSTZ-RL80 is specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. All DC and AC specifications-including no-missing-codes guarantee, SNR, and crosstalk-are validated across this full range. The device's thermal resistance (θA) is 57°C/W on a 4-layer board with solid ground plane, supporting reliable operation in enclosed handheld enclosures.
Does the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 includes an internal 1.24 V reference (REFOUT) that can directly drive REFINA and REFINB pins. This eliminates the need for an external reference in most applications. External references may be used for tighter accuracy or custom full-scale ranges, but the internal reference guarantees ±0.05 V tolerance and ±40 ppm/°C drift-sufficient for ultrasound and test equipment.
How does the DFS/GAIN pin configure analog input range and output coding on the AD9218BSTZ-RL80?
The DFS/GAIN pin on the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 controls both functions: logic low selects offset binary output with 1 Vp-p input range; logic high selects twos complement output with 1 Vp-p range; floating or tied to VREF enables 2 Vp-p range with corresponding output format. This single-pin flexibility simplifies system-level configuration without firmware changes or additional GPIOs.
What is the pipeline latency of the AD9218BSTZ-RL80, and how does it affect system timing?
The AD9218BSTZ-RL80 has a fixed 5-cycle pipeline delay from ENCA/ENCB rising edge to valid D0A–D9A or D0B–D9B output. For example, at 80 MSPS (12.5 ns period), latency is 62.5 ns. This deterministic delay enables precise time-of-flight calculations in ultrasound and predictable data alignment in I/Q receivers-no dynamic recalibration needed across temperature or supply variations.
Can the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 operate with only one channel active to save power?
Yes, the AD9218BSTZ-RL80 supports independent channel power-down via S1/S2 pins. Setting S1=0, S2=1 disables Channel B only, reducing total power by ~50% (to ~275 mW) while keeping Channel A fully operational. In this mode, Channel B outputs go high-impedance, and Channel A maintains full performance-ideal for battery-powered devices needing adaptive channel allocation.
