Product details
Overview
AD9230BCPZ-170 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 170 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with LVDS outputs, 700 MHz full-power analog bandwidth, 64.3 dBFS SNR at 70 MHz input, and 1.8 V single-supply operation. It integrates track-and-hold, on-chip reference, and clock duty cycle stabilizer, targeting high-dynamic-range digitization in broadband communications infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the AD9230BCPZ-170 datasheet, AD9230BCPZ-170 pinout, AD9230BCPZ-170 application, or AD9230BCPZ-170 equivalent, key selection criteria include sampling rate headroom (170 MSPS), SNR/SFDR trade-offs at RF input frequencies up to 170 MHz, LVDS SDR/DDR output mode configuration, and thermal performance in industrial-temperature LFCSP packaging.
Technical Context
The AD9230BCPZ-170 employs a pipelined ADC architecture with integrated track-and-hold and voltage reference, supporting differential analog inputs up to 1.5 Vp-p and programmable input range (1.0–1.5 V). Its clock input accepts CMOS/LVDS/LVPECL signals, and aperture jitter is specified at 0.2 ps rms.
Digital interface uses ANSI-644-compliant LVDS outputs with selectable data format (offset binary, twos complement, Gray code) and includes dedicated DCO± for timing-critical FPGA capture. Serial port control enables runtime configuration of power-down, gain, test patterns, and clock stabilizer enable/disable.

Pinout & Package
AD9230BCPZ-170 is housed in a 56-lead, 8 mm × 8 mm LFCSP package with exposed paddle (AGND). Pinout supports LVDS SDR mode by default; DDR mode reassigns pins D0–D5 and OR–OR+ via SPI configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN+, VIN− | Differential analog input | Accepts 1.0–1.5 Vp-p signal with 1.4 V common-mode; CML pin provides internal bias reference when enabled. |
| CLK+, CLK− | Differential sampling clock input | Supports LVDS/CMOS/LVPECL; internal bias sets common-mode at 1.2 V; min pulse width 2.15 ns @ 170 MSPS. |
| D0+ to D11+ | LVDS true data outputs (LSB to MSB) | ANSI-644 compliant; 247–454 mV differential swing; 7-cycle latency; SDR mode uses all 12 pairs. |
| DCO+, DCO− | Data clock output | Phase-aligned LVDS clock for synchronous capture in FPGA logic; 3.9 ns propagation delay, ±0.5 ns skew tolerance. |
| SDIO/DCS, SCLK/DFS, CSB | 3-wire SPI interface | Configures data format, power-down, test patterns, and clock stabilizer; SDIO bidirectional, CSB active-low chip select. |
| PWDN, RESET | Control inputs | PWDN asserts low-power state (<10 μA); RESET initializes internal logic and clears serial interface registers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Programmable input voltage range | 1.0 V to 1.5 V p-p via SPI register, enabling optimization for varying signal chain gain distribution. |
| LVDS DDR/SDR mode selection | Reduces output pin count by 50% in DDR mode (6 pins carry 12 bits), easing FPGA I/O resource constraints. |
| Integrated clock duty cycle stabilizer | Compensates for asymmetric clock edges, maintaining sampling aperture accuracy without external correction circuitry. |
| Serial port configurability | Enables runtime adjustment of gain, offset, test patterns, and power modes-critical for adaptive receiver calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9230BCPZ-210 | Higher max sample rate (210 MSPS); identical pinout, package, and feature set. | Required for systems needing >170 MSPS bandwidth or oversampling headroom. | Select when system clocking allows 210 MSPS operation and SNR degradation above 140 MHz is acceptable. |
| AD9226ASTZ | 12-bit, 65 MSPS; CMOS outputs; no on-chip reference; requires external REF and separate analog/digital supplies. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications where LVDS and integration are not required. | Choose only for legacy designs with existing CMOS FPGA interfaces and relaxed dynamic performance requirements. |
Compared with AD9230BCPZ-210, the AD9230BCPZ-170 offers lower power (383 mW vs. 434 mW) and better SFDR stability at 70–140 MHz, while AD9226ASTZ lacks integrated reference and LVDS, increasing board area and supply complexity despite lower unit cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9230BCPZ-170?
The AD9230BCPZ-170 features a 700 MHz full-power analog bandwidth, allowing accurate digitization of signals up to 700 MHz in the first or higher Nyquist zones. At 170 MSPS sampling, its usable input spectrum extends beyond 170 MHz, making it suitable for undersampling applications such as IF sampling in communications receivers. Performance metrics like SNR and SFDR are validated up to 170 MHz per datasheet Table 2.
Does the AD9230BCPZ-170 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD9230BCPZ-170 includes a fully integrated voltage reference and does not require external decoupling capacitors or reference ICs. The on-chip reference supports the nominal 1.25 V p-p full-scale input range and is factory-trimmed for accuracy. Users may optionally configure the input range between 1.0 V and 1.5 V p-p via the SPI interface without modifying external circuitry.
How is the AD9230BCPZ-170 configured for LVDS DDR versus SDR output mode?
The AD9230BCPZ-170 defaults to LVDS SDR mode. DDR mode is enabled via SPI register write (address 0x08, bit D0 = 1), which reconfigures pins D0–D5 and OR+/OR− to carry time-multiplexed 12-bit data. In DDR mode, D0+/D0− transmit both LSB and D6 bits per clock edge, halving the required LVDS lane count while maintaining full 12-bit resolution and 170 MSPS throughput.
What is the power consumption of the AD9230BCPZ-170 at 170 MSPS?
At 170 MSPS, the AD9230BCPZ-170 consumes 383 mW in LVDS SDR mode (IAVDD = 154 mA, IDRVDD = 60 mA) and 349 mW in LVDS DDR mode (IAVDD = 154 mA, IDRVDD = 59 mA), both measured with 1.8 V AVDD and DRVDD supplies. Power scales linearly with sample rate down to 40 MSPS, enabling dynamic power management in burst-mode systems.
Can the AD9230BCPZ-170 operate over the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the AD9230BCPZ-170 is fully specified and guaranteed over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. All AC and DC specifications-including SNR, SFDR, INL, DNL, and power supply current-are tested and bounded across this range. Thermal resistance (θJA = 30.4°C/W) assumes proper soldering of the exposed paddle to the PCB ground plane.
