Product details
Overview
AD9245BCPZRL7-20 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 20 MSPS monolithic analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with single 3 V supply operation (2.7 V to 3.6 V), differential input (500 MHz bandwidth), on-chip reference and sample-and-hold, and DNL of ±0.5 LSB. It delivers 73.5 dBc SNR at 2.4 MHz input and supports medical ultrasound and IF sampling in communications receivers.
For engineers reviewing the AD9245BCPZRL7-20 datasheet, AD9245BCPZRL7-20 pinout, AD9245BCPZRL7-20 application, or AD9245BCPZRL7-20 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20 MSPS maximum conversion rate, 32-lead LFCSP package, 2 Vp-p differential input range, clock duty-cycle stabilizer omission (not supported at 20 MSPS), and compatibility with 2.5 V/3.3 V digital logic via separate DRVDD supply.
Technical Context
The AD9245BCPZRL7-20 employs a multistage differential pipelined architecture with output error correction logic to guarantee 14-bit accuracy and no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C. Its patented sample-and-hold amplifier supports both differential and single-ended configurations with up to 100 MHz input frequency capability.
It uses a single-ended clock input with no duty-cycle stabilizer (DCS disabled per spec for 20 MSPS variant), outputs straight binary or twos complement data, and provides an out-of-range (OTR) flag indicating overflow beyond the selected input span. Fabricated in advanced CMOS, it integrates internal voltage reference (1.0 V or 0.5 V modes) and supports flexible analog input ranges from 1 Vp-p to 2 Vp-p.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - guarantees full-scale quantization with 16,384 discrete levels and no missing codes over temperature. |
| Max Sample Rate | 20 MSPS - defines maximum sustained conversion throughput; timing-critical systems must meet 50 ns CLK period. |
| SNR @ 2.4 MHz | 73.5 dBc - determines minimum detectable signal amplitude above noise floor in narrowband applications. |
| Differential Nonlinearity | ±0.5 LSB - ensures monotonic transfer function and prevents code ambiguities in precision measurement. |
| Analog Input Bandwidth | 500 MHz - enables faithful digitization of fast-rising signals and wideband RF/IF inputs without external amplification. |
| Power Consumption | 90 mW at 20 MSPS - enables battery-powered instrumentation with thermal budget under 100 mW. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1 Vp-p to 2 Vp-p - configurable via reference mode; simplifies front-end driver design for varying signal amplitudes. |
Pinout & Package
AD9245BCPZRL7-20 is housed in a 32-lead LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) with exposed paddle, specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). The exposed paddle must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to ensure thermal reliability and optimal EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Clock Input | Single-ended edge-triggered sampling control; requires stable 50 ns period (20 MSPS); no DCS circuitry active. |
| VIN+, VIN– | Differential Analog Input | High-bandwidth (500 MHz) input pair accepting 1–2 Vp-p signals; common-mode voltage programmable via REFT/REFB. |
| D0–D13 | Parallel Digital Output | 14-bit parallel CMOS outputs (D0 LSB to D13 MSB); driven by separate DRVDD (2.25–3.6 V) for logic-level flexibility. |
| OTR | Overflow Indicator | Active-high flag signaling input exceeds ±FSR; used with MSB to distinguish high/low saturation events. |
| MODE | Data Format & Control | Selects offset binary/twos complement output and enables/disables clock duty-cycle stabilization (N/A for -20 variant). |
| SENSE, VREF, REFT, REFB | Reference Interface | Supports internal (1.0 V/0.5 V) or external reference; SENSE selects mode; REFT/REFB form differential reference input. |
| AVDD, AGND, DRVDD, DGND | Power & Ground | Separate analog/digital supplies isolate noise; AVDD = 2.7–3.6 V; DRVDD = 2.25–3.6 V; AGND/DGND must be partitioned and joined at single point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single 3 V supply operation | Eliminates dual-supply design complexity while maintaining 72.7+ dBc SNR and low 90 mW power at 20 MSPS. |
| No missing codes guaranteed | Ensures deterministic behavior in closed-loop control and real-time signal processing without code dropout risk. |
| Differential input with 500 MHz bandwidth | Enables direct digitization of IF signals up to 100 MHz without external gain stages or baluns in WCDMA/CDMA receivers. |
| On-chip reference and sample-and-hold | Reduces BOM count and layout area; eliminates need for external precision reference IC and external SHA circuitry. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9245BCPZRL7-40 | Higher max sample rate (40 MSPS), increased power (165 mW), identical pinout and feature set. | Suitable for wider IF bandwidths (e.g., TDS-CDMA) where 20 MSPS is insufficient. | Select when system clock budget allows >20 MSPS and SNR degradation at higher rates is acceptable. |
| AD9235BCPZRL7-20 | 12-bit resolution, lower power (65 mW), same 32-lead LFCSP package and pin compatibility. | Fits cost-sensitive, lower-dynamic-range applications like basic spectrum monitoring or audio digitization. | Choose when 12-bit ENOB suffices and board space/power constraints favor drop-in replacement without layout change. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD9245BCPZRL7-20?
The AD9245BCPZRL7-20 supports a maximum conversion rate of 20 MSPS, corresponding to a minimum CLK period of 50 ns. This is confirmed in Table 6 of the Rev. E datasheet, which specifies "AD9245BCP-20" with Max Conversion Rate = 20 MSPS. Higher-speed variants (e.g., -40, -65, -80) are distinct orderable parts with different internal timing and power characteristics.
Does the AD9245BCPZRL7-20 include a clock duty-cycle stabilizer (DCS)?
No, the AD9245BCPZRL7-20 does not implement the clock duty-cycle stabilizer. Per Table 6 footnote 1, DCS functionality applies only to AD9245BCP-65 and AD9245BCP-80 models. At 20 MSPS, the AD9245BCPZRL7-20 relies on externally provided clock signal with specified pulse width high/low minima (15.0 ns each) to maintain performance.
What reference voltage options are available for the AD9245BCPZRL7-20?
The AD9245BCPZRL7-20 supports both internal and external reference configurations. Internal modes provide 1.0 V or 0.5 V output (±5 mV error at 1.0 V mode); external reference connects across REFT/REFB pins. SENSE pin selects between internal/external modes, and VREF serves as reference input/output terminal-details are in Table 9 and Figure 1 of the datasheet.
Is the AD9245BCPZRL7-20 pin-compatible with other members of the AD9245 family?
Yes, all AD9245 speed grades-including AD9245BCPZRL7-20, -40, -65, and -80-share identical 32-lead LFCSP packaging and pinout. Product Highlights explicitly state: "The AD9245 is pin-compatible with the AD9215, AD9235, and AD9236," confirming mechanical and electrical interoperability across speed variants for migration flexibility.
What is the power consumption of the AD9245BCPZRL7-20 at full sample rate?
The AD9245BCPZRL7-20 consumes 90 mW at 20 MSPS with DC input (Table 1), and 95 mW with sine-wave input (Table 1 footnote 4). This includes 30 mA analog supply current (IAVDD) and 2 mA digital driver supply current (IDRVDD) at AVDD = 3.0 V and DRVDD = 2.5 V-enabling integration into thermally constrained portable instruments.
