Product details
Overview
AD9445BSVZ-125 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 125 MSPS IF sampling analog-to-digital converter optimized for multicarrier cellular infrastructure receivers. It delivers 73.8 dBFS SNR at 30 MHz input (2.0 V p-p), 94 dBc SFDR at 170 MHz, and 60 fsec rms aperture jitter, with buffered differential analog inputs and LVDS/CMOS selectable outputs.
For engineers reviewing the AD9445BSVZ-125 datasheet, AD9445BSVZ-125 pinout, AD9445BSVZ-125 application, or AD9445BSVZ-125 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 125 MSPS sampling rate, 2.0–4.0 V p-p differential input range, RF ENABLE pin configuration for >225 MHz IF optimization, and 100-lead TQFP/EP package thermal performance (θJC = 2°C/W).
Technical Context
The AD9445BSVZ-125 employs a pipeline ADC architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, supporting high-frequency IF sampling up to 450 MHz analog bandwidth. Its clock duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) maintains performance across wide input clock duty cycle variation, and RF ENABLE pin configures front-end biasing for optimal SFDR above or below 225 MHz.
Dual-supply operation (3.3 V AVDD1 + 5.0 V AVDD2) powers separate analog and digital sections, while internal reference (1.0 V mode) eliminates external components in many applications. Output data format (offset binary/twos complement) and interface mode (LVDS/CMOS) are user-selectable via dedicated control pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes over full industrial temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 125 MSPS - guaranteed maximum conversion rate for real-time IF digitization in 3G/4G base stations. |
| SNR @ 30 MHz | 73.8 dBFS (2.0 V p-p) - defines usable dynamic range for multi-carrier signal capture with low quantization noise. |
| SFDR @ 170 MHz | 94 dBc - determines spurious-free resolution for adjacent-channel interference rejection in dense RF environments. |
| Aperture Jitter | 60 fsec rms - limits sampling uncertainty-induced noise floor degradation at high IF frequencies. |
| Analog Bandwidth | 615 MHz - supports direct sampling of IF signals up to 300 MHz without external anti-alias filtering. |
| Input Range | 2.0–4.0 V p-p differential - configurable full-scale span enables optimization for system-level signal chain gain distribution. |
Pinout & Package
The AD9445BSVZ-125 is housed in a Pb-free, 100-lead TQFP/EP package with exposed heat sink soldered to AGND. Thermal resistance is θJC = 2°C/W (junction-to-heat sink), requiring PCB ground plane connection for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN+, VIN− | Differential Analog Input | High-impedance buffered inputs accepting 2.0–4.0 V p-p differential signals; common-mode voltage fixed at 3.5 V internally. |
| CLK+, CLK− | Differential Clock Input | LVPECL-compatible inputs requiring ≥0.2 V differential swing and 1.3–1.6 V common-mode; DCS MODE enables duty cycle correction. |
| D0+ to D13+, D0− to D13− | LVDs Data Outputs | 14-bit parallel LVDS outputs (ANSI-644 compliant); output current set by LVDS_BIAS resistor (3.74 kΩ to DRGND). |
| DCO+, DCO− | Data Clock Output | Source-synchronous LVDS clock aligned to data edges; enables reliable capture in FPGA/ASIC interfaces. |
| RF ENABLE | Front-End Optimization Control | Connect to AGND for <225 MHz IF; connect to AVDD1 for >225 MHz IF to maximize SFDR performance. |
| OUTPUT MODE | Interface Selection | Low = CMOS outputs (3.3 V); high = LVDS outputs - selects physical layer without changing core functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9446BCPZ-125 | 16-bit resolution, 125 MSPS, identical 100-lead TQFP/EP package and pinout; higher power (2.8 W vs. 2.4 W). | Better ENOB (12.6 bits vs. 12.1 bits at 170 MHz) but lower SFDR (89 dBc vs. 94 dBc) - suited for precision measurement over spectral purity. | Select AD9446BCPZ-125 when DC accuracy and harmonic distortion matter more than spurious-free dynamic range. |
| ADS5463IPFP | 13-bit, 500 MSPS, 64-pin HTQFP; no integrated reference; requires external clock buffer and reference. | Higher sampling rate enables Nyquist-rate digitization of wider IF bands, but demands more complex support circuitry and layout. | Select ADS5463IPFP only when >250 MSPS sampling is mandatory and board space allows external reference/buffer design. |
Compared with AD9446BCPZ-125 and ADS5463IPFP, the AD9445BSVZ-125 uniquely balances 14-bit resolution, 125 MSPS speed, integrated reference, and 94 dBc SFDR in a thermally optimized TQFP/EP package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-density IF sampling in cellular infrastructure where spurious performance is critical.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed maximum sampling rate for AD9445BSVZ-125?
The AD9445BSVZ-125 is guaranteed to operate at 125 MSPS across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), as specified in Table 4 of the datasheet. This is a speed-grade distinction from the AD9445BSVZ-105 (105 MSPS). Performance validation includes SNR, SFDR, and ENOB metrics at this rate with 2.0 V p-p input and DCS enabled.
Does AD9445BSVZ-125 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD9445BSVZ-125 includes an internal trimmed 1.0 V reference (enabled by grounding the SENSE pin), eliminating the need for external reference ICs in most applications. External reference mode is supported via SENSE = AVDD1, but the internal reference provides ±2 mV load regulation and is sufficient for typical IF sampling use cases.
How does the RF ENABLE pin affect AD9445BSVZ-125 performance?
The RF ENABLE pin configures the analog front-end biasing: tied to AGND for optimal SFDR below 225 MHz IF, or to AVDD1 for >225 MHz IF. At 170 MHz, SFDR improves from 80 dBc to 94 dBc when RF ENABLE = AGND; at 300 MHz, connecting RF ENABLE to AVDD1 increases SFDR by ~10 dBc and raises AVDD2 current by 30 mA.
What are the power supply requirements for AD9445BSVZ-125?
The AD9445BSVZ-125 requires three supplies: AVDD1 = 3.3 V ±5% (335–424 mA), AVDD2 = 5.0 V ±5% (169–199 mA, +30 mA if RF ENABLE = AVDD1), and DRVDD = 3.3 V (63–78 mA for LVDS, 14 mA for CMOS). Grounding must separate AGND (analog), DGND (digital), and DRGND (LVDS output) with star-point connection.
Can AD9445BSVZ-125 output data in both LVDS and CMOS formats?
Yes, the AD9445BSVZ-125 supports both LVDS (ANSI-644 compatible) and CMOS output modes, selected via the OUTPUT MODE pin (low = CMOS, high = LVDS). LVDS mode uses D0± to D13± and DCO± pairs with 3.74 kΩ LVDS_BIAS resistor; CMOS mode uses single-ended D0–D13 and DCO outputs referenced to DRVDD.
