Product details
Overview
AD9268BCPZ-80 from Analog Devices is a dual, 16-bit, 80 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with differential pipelined architecture, 1.8 V analog supply, 1.8 V CMOS/LVDS digital outputs, and integrated duty cycle stabilizer. It delivers 78.2 dBFS SNR at 70 MHz input and supports IF sampling up to 300 MHz. Used in multimode wireless receivers for LTE/W-CDMA baseband digitization.
For engineers reviewing the AD9268BCPZ-80 datasheet, AD9268BCPZ-80 pinout, AD9268BCPZ-80 application, or AD9268BCPZ-80 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated CMOS/LVDS pin mapping, confirmed dual-channel timing isolation (95 dB), real-world power consumption (450 mW @ 80 MSPS), and documented migration paths from AD9258/AD9251 families.
Technical Context
The AD9268BCPZ-80 implements two independent 16-bit pipelined ADC cores with integrated error correction logic, each supporting user-selectable 1–2 Vp-p differential input range and 650 MHz analog bandwidth. Its on-chip voltage reference and programmable dither enhance SFDR performance without external components.
It features a 3-wire SPI interface for configuration of data formatting (offset binary/twos complement), clock divider (1–8), power-down modes, and BIST activation. The duty cycle stabilizer compensates for clock asymmetry, maintaining SNR/SFDR integrity across temperature and process variation.

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-105 | Higher 105 MSPS sample rate; 79.0 dBFS SNR @ 70 MHz; 590 mW power @ 105 MSPS. | Required for wider instantaneous bandwidth (e.g., 50 MHz LTE carriers or 20 MHz WiMAX channels). | Select AD9268BCPZ-105 when system demands >80 MSPS without sacrificing 16-bit resolution or SNR. |
| AD9258BCPZ-80 | 14-bit resolution; identical 80 MSPS rate, pinout, and LFCSP-64 package; 75.5 dBFS SNR @ 70 MHz. | Used where lower resolution suffices (e.g., legacy GSM/EDGE baseband) and cost or power reduction is prioritized. | Choose AD9258BCPZ-80 for drop-in replacement when 14-bit ENOB meets system linearity requirements and saves $1.20/unit. |
Compared with AD9268BCPZ-105, the AD9268BCPZ-80 trades 25 MSPS bandwidth and ~0.8 dB SNR for 140 mW lower power and tighter thermal design margin; versus AD9258BCPZ-80, it adds 2 bits of resolution and 2.7 dB SFDR at same speed-critical for high-order QAM in modern cellular standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9268BCPZ-80?
The AD9268BCPZ-80 supports analog input frequencies up to 300 MHz using IF sampling techniques. Its 650 MHz analog input bandwidth ensures minimal amplitude roll-off and phase distortion at these frequencies, enabling direct digitization of second-IF signals in wireless infrastructure without additional gain stages.
Does the AD9268BCPZ-80 support both CMOS and LVDS digital outputs simultaneously?
No-the AD9268BCPZ-80 supports either 1.8 V CMOS or LVDS output mode, selected via SPI register configuration. CMOS mode uses single-ended D0A–D15A/D0B–D15B outputs; LVDS mode requires interleaved differential pairs (e.g., D0+/D0−) and separate DCO+/DCO− clock outputs.
How does the on-chip dither improve SFDR performance in the AD9268BCPZ-80?
The AD9268BCPZ-80's optional on-chip dither injects controlled noise to randomize quantization error, raising the noise floor but suppressing harmonic spurs. At −23 dBFS input, dither improves SFDR by up to 15 dB (e.g., from 88 dBc to 107 dBc @ 70 MHz), critical for detecting weak signals near strong interferers.
What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the AD9268BCPZ-80?
The SYNC pin enables deterministic multi-chip synchronization across multiple AD9268BCPZ-80 devices. When asserted synchronously with the ADC clock, it resets internal pipeline stages to align sampling instants-essential for coherent beamforming in MIMO and phased-array systems.
Can the AD9268BCPZ-80 operate with an external voltage reference?
Yes-the AD9268BCPZ-80 supports both internal (1.0 V ±12 mV) and external reference configurations. Connecting an external reference to VREF and setting SENSE appropriately allows system-level calibration and improved temperature stability beyond the internal reference's ±15 ppm/°C drift.
