Product details
Overview
AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 105 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip track-and-hold, LVDS/CMOS outputs, and internal reference. It delivers 77.2 dBFS SNR and 84 dBc SFDR at 170 MHz input (3.4 Vp-p, 105 MSPS), supporting high-fidelity digitization in radar IF receivers and MRI baseband acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ datasheet, AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ pinout, AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ application, or AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ equivalent, this evaluation board enables rapid validation of 105 MSPS sampling performance, differential analog input interface, LVDS timing capture, and SFDR-optimized front-end configuration under industrial temperature conditions.
Technical Context
The AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ implements a 16-bit pipeline ADC architecture with integrated clock duty cycle stabilizer (DCS), adjustable full-scale input range (2.0–4.0 Vp-p), and selectable output data format (offset binary or twos complement). Its analog input stage features buffered differential inputs with 615 MHz bandwidth and programmable common-mode voltage (3.2–3.9 V).
Digital interface options include ANSI-644-compliant LVDS outputs (16-bit parallel + DCO ±) or CMOS outputs, both supported by dedicated DRVDD (3.3 V) and DRGND. The SFDR control pin allows analog front-end optimization for <200 MHz or >200 MHz input frequencies, directly affecting AVDD2 power consumption.

Pinout & Package
AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ is an evaluation board for the AD9460BSVZ-105 IC, which uses a Pb-free, 100-lead TQFP_EP package with exposed heat sink soldered to AGND. The board routes all 100 pins to accessible test points and connectors per the AD9460's LVDS mode pin configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN+, VIN− | Differential analog input | Accepts 3.4 Vp-p buffered input; common-mode voltage set to 3.5 V internally or externally via SENSE pin. |
| CLK+, CLK− | Differential sampling clock input | Accepts low-voltage differential clock; DCS MODE pin enables duty cycle correction to maintain timing accuracy. |
| D0+ to D15+, D0− to D15− | LVD S data outputs (16-bit) | ANSI-644-compliant LVDS pairs; each bit pair drives 100 Ω termination; supports 105 MSPS sustained data rate. |
| DCO+, DCO− | Data clock output | Synchronous LVDS clock aligned to data edges; used for timing-critical FPGA or ASIC capture with minimal skew. |
| OR+, OR− | Out-of-range indicator | Differential flag signaling analog input saturation; enables real-time clipping detection without host processor overhead. |
| SFDR | Front-end optimization control | Connect to AGND for <200 MHz inputs (optimal SFDR); connect to AVDD1 for >200 MHz inputs (increases AVDD2 current ~20 mW). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip track-and-hold with buffered inputs | Eliminates need for external THA or high-bandwidth op-amp drivers; supports 615 MHz analog input bandwidth. |
| Internal 1.7 V reference with SENSE pin control | Enables 3.4 Vp-p full-scale operation without external reference IC; SENSE = AGND selects internal mode. |
| Configurable LVDS/CMOS output mode | OUTPUT MODE pin selects interface type; LVDS reduces switching noise and improves signal integrity at 105 MSPS. |
| Clock duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) | Compensates for clock asymmetry; maintains aperture jitter ≤60 fsrms across wide duty cycle variation (40–60%). |
| Out-of-range (OR) monitoring outputs | Differential OR+ / OR− signals provide immediate saturation alert, enabling adaptive gain control or fault logging. |
| 100-lead TQFP_EP with exposed heat sink | Thermal resistance θJA = 19.8°C/W (heat sink soldered); requires direct connection of exposed pad to AGND plane for thermal compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9461-105EBZ | Same AD9460 silicon, but configured for CMOS output mode and different layout; lacks LVDS termination network and DCO routing. | Preferred for FPGA interfaces with CMOS I/O banks and short trace lengths (<5 cm); higher power draw than LVDS mode. | Select AD9461-105EBZ only when LVDS infrastructure is unavailable and system-level EMI constraints permit CMOS switching noise. |
| ADS5463EVM | Texas Instruments 13-bit, 500 MSPS ADC with JESD204B serial interface; no LVDS parallel outputs or internal reference. | Targets ultra-wideband applications (>200 MHz IF) where serialization reduces pin count; requires external clock conditioner and reference. | Choose ADS5463EVM for >250 MSPS throughput needs or space-constrained designs; not drop-in compatible due to interface, resolution, and supply differences. |
Compared with AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ, AD9461-105EBZ trades LVDS noise immunity for simpler interfacing, while ADS5463EVM sacrifices resolution and ease-of-use for raw speed and serial scalability-neither offers pin or functional equivalence.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ evaluation board?
The AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ is a fully assembled and tested evaluation platform for the AD9460BSVZ-105 16-bit, 105 MSPS ADC. It provides standardized SMA connectors for analog input, clock, and LVDS data, onboard power regulation, and documented layout practices to validate timing margins, SNR, and SFDR performance before custom PCB design.
Does the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ support both LVDS and CMOS output modes?
No-the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ is specifically configured for LVDS operation, with matched 100 Ω terminations on all D0–D15 and DCO differential pairs. To evaluate CMOS mode, users must refer to the AD9461-105EBZ board or modify the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ per the AD9460 datasheet's CMOS pinout and termination guidelines.
How is the SFDR pin used on the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ?
On the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ, the SFDR pin is routed to a header for user configuration. Connecting it to AGND optimizes spurious-free dynamic range for analog inputs below 200 MHz; connecting it to AVDD1 improves SFDR above 200 MHz at the cost of ~20 mW increased AVDD2 current-verified in AD9460-105 characterization data.
What power supplies are required to operate the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ?
The AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ requires three regulated supplies: +3.3 V for AVDD1 and DRVDD, +5.0 V for AVDD2, and isolated analog/digital grounds. The board includes on-board LDOs and filtering; input is typically a single +5 V or +12 V source fed to the barrel jack or screw terminals per the user guide.
Can the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ be used for production systems?
No-the AD9460-105LVDSPCBZ is an evaluation board intended for lab validation and prototype development only. It is not qualified for continuous operation in production environments. For volume deployment, designers must integrate the AD9460BSVZ-105 IC onto a custom PCB following Analog Devices' layout, grounding, and thermal guidelines.
