Product details
Overview
AD9268BCPZ-105 from Analog Devices is a dual, 16-bit, 105 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for high-performance IF sampling in communications infrastructure. It features differential 650 MHz analog input bandwidth, 78.2 dBFS SNR at 70 MHz input, 88 dBc SFDR, and operates from a single 1.8 V analog supply with separate 1.8 V CMOS or LVDS digital output drivers. It is used in multimode 3G/4G receivers and I/Q demodulation systems requiring precise dual-channel digitization.
For engineers reviewing the AD9268BCPZ-105 datasheet, AD9268BCPZ-105 pinout, AD9268BCPZ-105 application, or AD9268BCPZ-105 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 105 MSPS sample rate, dual-channel 16-bit resolution, on-chip dither for SFDR enhancement, integer clock divider (1–8), and support for both CMOS and LVDS output interfaces in a 64-lead LFCSP package.
Technical Context
The AD9268BCPZ-105 implements a multistage differential pipelined ADC architecture with integrated error correction logic per channel. Its analog front end includes wideband differential sample-and-hold amplifiers and supports flexible input ranges (1–2 Vp-p) with programmable internal voltage reference and optional on-chip dither.
Digital interface flexibility is provided via a 3-wire SPI for configuration of data formatting (offset binary/twos complement/gray), clock duty cycle stabilization (DCS), power-down modes, and BIST. Channel synchronization is supported through dedicated SYNC and multichip sync capability, while latency is fixed at 12 cycles (CMOS) or 12/12.5 cycles (LVDS).

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip dither | Improves SFDR by ≥10 dB at low-input levels (e.g., −23 dBFS), enabling clean digitization of weak adjacent channels without external noise injection. |
| Duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) | Compensates for clock duty cycle distortion, maintaining SNR/SFDR performance even with 40%–60% input clock duty cycle variation. |
| Programmable voltage reference | Internal 1.0 V reference with ±12 mV error; eliminates need for external precision reference and reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs. |
| Built-in self-test (BIST) | User-configurable digital pattern generation (ramp, checkerboard, pseudo-random) allows in-system ADC functional verification without analog stimulus. |
| Integer clock divider (1–8) | Allows use of higher-frequency, lower-jitter master clocks (e.g., 840 MHz ÷ 8 = 105 MSPS), improving phase noise margin in RF sampling architectures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 16-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9268BCPZ-125 | Higher sample rate (125 MSPS); 77.2 dBFS SNR @ 70 MHz; 777 mW power at 125 MSPS. | Required when IF bandwidth exceeds 62.5 MHz or undersampling up to 300 MHz demands tighter Nyquist margin. | Select AD9268BCPZ-125 only if system clocking and thermal design accommodate +16% power and +19% sample rate overhead. |
| AD9258BCPZ-105 | 14-bit resolution; 73.5 dBFS SNR @ 70 MHz; pin-compatible but lacks on-chip dither and has lower SFDR (83 dBc). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-dynamic-range applications where 16-bit ENOB is not required (e.g., narrowband IoT gateways). | Choose AD9258BCPZ-105 for reduced BOM cost and power (450 mW) when 12-bit ENOB suffices and SFDR >85 dBc is not mandatory. |
Compared with AD9268BCPZ-125, the AD9268BCPZ-105 trades 20 MSPS sample rate and ~1 dB SNR for 185 mW lower power and relaxed clock distribution; versus AD9258BCPZ-105, it delivers +2 bits resolution and +5 dB SFDR at identical pinout and footprint-enabling seamless upgrade path in existing layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9268BCPZ-105?
The AD9268BCPZ-105 supports analog input frequencies up to 300 MHz using IF sampling techniques. Its 650 MHz analog input bandwidth ensures minimal amplitude and phase roll-off at these frequencies, and its 105 MSPS sample rate enables bandpass sampling of signals centered well above the Nyquist frequency-critical for direct RF sampling in modern wireless receivers. The AD9268BCPZ-105 maintains 77.2 dBFS SNR even at 70 MHz input, confirming usable performance across its full small-signal bandwidth.
Does the AD9268BCPZ-105 support both CMOS and LVDS digital outputs simultaneously?
No-the AD9268BCPZ-105 supports either CMOS or LVDS output mode, selected at power-up via the SENSE pin configuration. In CMOS mode, outputs drive 1.8 V logic levels with 1.75 V high-level voltage at 0.5 mA load; in LVDS mode, they deliver ANSI-compliant differential swings (290–400 mV) with 1.15–1.35 V common-mode offset. The AD9268BCPZ-105 does not support concurrent CMOS+LVDS operation, and mode selection is static-not runtime reconfigurable.
How does the on-chip dither function improve SFDR in the AD9268BCPZ-105?
The AD9268BCPZ-105's on-chip dither injects controlled broadband noise into the ADC transfer function, randomizing quantization error harmonics and converting them into lower-level wideband noise. At −23 dBFS input, dither improves SFDR by ≥10 dB (e.g., from 89 dBFS to 106 dBFS at 70 MHz), directly enhancing adjacent-channel rejection in multicarrier systems. This eliminates the need for external dither circuits and preserves board space while maintaining the AD9268BCPZ-105's 750 mW total power envelope.
What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the AD9268BCPZ-105?
The SYNC pin on the AD9268BCPZ-105 provides deterministic alignment of sampling instants across multiple devices in multichip configurations. When asserted synchronously with the ADC clock, it resets internal pipeline stages to ensure phase-coherent sampling across channels-essential for MIMO beamforming, time-interleaved ADC arrays, and calibrated I/Q receiver pairs. The AD9268BCPZ-105 guarantees <100 ps inter-device skew when SYNC is used with matched trace lengths and proper termination.
Can the AD9268BCPZ-105 operate with a single 1.8 V supply for both analog and digital sections?
No-the AD9268BCPZ-105 requires two independent 1.8 V supplies: AVDD for the analog core (including sample-and-hold and reference circuitry) and DRVDD for the digital output drivers. While both rails are nominally 1.8 V, they must be separately decoupled and routed to avoid coupling digital switching noise into the sensitive analog path. The AD9268BCPZ-105 specifies distinct current draws (390 mA AVDD, 89 mA DRVDD in LVDS mode), confirming the need for independent regulation and filtering.
