Product details
Overview
AD9235BCP-40 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 40 MSPS monolithic analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from a single 3 V supply (2.7 V to 3.6 V). It features a differential sample-and-hold amplifier with 500 MHz input bandwidth, on-chip reference, and clock duty cycle stabilizer-enabling high-fidelity IF sampling in communications receivers and ultrasound front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the AD9235BCP-40 datasheet, AD9235BCP-40 pinout, AD9235BCP-40 application, or AD9235BCP-40 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including SNR = 70.4 dBc at Nyquist, DNL = ±0.35 LSB, 28-lead TSSOP package, and confirmed functional compatibility with AD9214-65 for 10-bit-to-12-bit system upgrades.
Technical Context
The AD9235BCP-40 implements a multistage 1½-bit differential pipelined architecture with output error correction logic, guaranteeing no missing codes over –40°C to +85°C. Its SHA supports user-selectable 1 Vp-p or 2 Vp-p differential input ranges and operates up to 100 MHz input frequency while maintaining 70.4 dBc SNR at 40 MSPS.
A dedicated clock duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) is disabled in the -40 variant per datasheet Table 3 footnote, distinguishing it from the -65 model. Digital outputs are configurable as offset binary or twos complement, driven by a separate DRVDD supply (2.25 V to 3.6 V) for 2.5 V/3.3 V logic interfacing.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-to-digital conversion applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9235BRU-40 | Same core ADC architecture and specs, but in 28-lead TSSOP with different moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and tape/reel packaging. | No functional difference; BRU variant uses standard JEDEC MSL3 packaging versus BCP's enhanced MSL1 rating. | Select AD9235BRU-40 for cost-sensitive production runs where MSL1 handling is not required. |
| AD9226ARSZ-65 | 12-bit, 65 MSPS ADC with higher power (300 mW), no on-chip reference, and 32-lead SSOP package. | Lacks integrated reference and DCS; requires external REF and careful clock duty cycle control. | Choose AD9226ARSZ-65 only when 65 MSPS is mandatory and external reference design is acceptable. |
Compared with AD9235BRU-40, the AD9235BCP-40 offers identical electrical performance with improved moisture resistance; versus AD9226ARSZ-65, it trades maximum speed for lower power, integrated reference, and simplified layout-making it optimal for portable and thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9235BCP-40?
The AD9235BCP-40 features a 500 MHz analog input bandwidth, allowing accurate sampling of signals up to 100 MHz while maintaining 70.4 dBc SNR at Nyquist (20 MHz). This bandwidth supports undersampling architectures for IF digitization in wireless receivers and harmonic imaging in ultrasound systems. The AD9235BCP-40 maintains specified AC performance up to fIN = 100 MHz per Figure 20 in the Rev. C datasheet.
Does the AD9235BCP-40 include an on-chip voltage reference?
Yes, the AD9235BCP-40 integrates a precision voltage reference configurable for 1.0 V or 0.5 V output. Reference accuracy is ±5 mV in 1 V mode and ±2.5 mV in 0.5 V mode, with load regulation of 0.8 mV at 1.0 mA. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs in most applications, reducing board space and component count. The AD9235BCP-40 reference is enabled by default and controlled via SENSE and VREF pins.
What is the power consumption of the AD9235BCP-40 at its rated 40 MSPS sampling rate?
The AD9235BCP-40 consumes 165 mW under DC input conditions at 40 MSPS, with 100 mA from AVDD and 5 mA from DRVDD. Under sine-wave input (2.4 MHz, –0.5 dBFS), total power rises to 205 mW. Standby power is 1.0 mW when CLK is inactive. This low power enables use in thermally constrained and battery-operated systems such as handheld scopemeters and portable ultrasound devices.
Is the AD9235BCP-40 pin-compatible with other members of the AD9235 family?
Yes, the AD9235BCP-40 shares identical pinout and footprint with AD9235BCP-20 and AD9235BCP-65 in the 28-lead TSSOP package. All variants use the same AVDD, DRVDD, CLK, VIN+, VIN–, D0–D11, OTR, MODE, SENSE, VREF, REFT, REFB, PDWN, AGND, DGND, and AVDD/AGND pin assignments. This allows direct substitution in existing PCB layouts when upgrading or downgrading sampling rate requirements.
What digital output formats does the AD9235BCP-40 support?
The AD9235BCP-40 supports both offset binary and twos complement data formats, selected via the MODE pin. Offset binary outputs range from 0x000 to 0xFFF for full-scale positive and negative inputs respectively; twos complement provides symmetric representation centered at zero. Both formats are delivered in parallel 12-bit CMOS outputs (D0–D11) with pipeline latency of 7 clock cycles and output delay of 3.5 ns.
