Product details
Overview
AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 2.6 GSPS analog-to-digital converter optimized for direct RF sampling in spectrum analyzers, radar, and electronic warfare systems. It features 3.2 GHz analog input bandwidth, JESD204B 6- or 8-lane serial output at 6.5 Gbps, dual decimation filters with 10-bit NCOs, and operates from 1.3 V/2.5 V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 datasheet, AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 pinout, AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 application, or AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 equivalent, key selection criteria include SFDR at 1.8 GHz (77 dBc), SNR (57.5 dBFS), noise spectral density (−150.0 dBFS/Hz), and SYSREF±-enabled multichip synchronization for coherent wideband acquisition.
Technical Context
The AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 implements a high-speed pipeline ADC architecture with integrated digital downconverters (DDCs) supporting decimate-by-8 or decimate-by-16 modes. Its differential clock and analog inputs support wideband signal capture up to second Nyquist zone, while the JESD204B Subclass 1 interface ensures deterministic latency and lane alignment via SYSREF±.
It integrates two independent 10-bit numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs), on-chip 1.2 V reference, fast detect output with 82-cycle latency, and timestamping capability. The device supports dc-coupled analog inputs (1.2 V p-p), operates over −40°C to +85°C case temperature, and delivers conversion error rate < 10⁻¹⁵.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9680BCPZ-500 | 14-bit, 500 MSPS; lower speed but higher resolution and SNR (70.2 dBFS); JESD204B subclass 1. | Better suited for high-dynamic-range narrowband applications (e.g., communications test equipment), not wideband RF sampling. | Select when ENOB > 11 bits is required and 2.6 GSPS is unnecessary. |
| ADS54J60IRGCT | 16-bit, 900 MSPS; lower sampling rate, higher power (4.5 W); JESD204B subclass 0; no on-chip DDC or NCO. | Lacks integrated decimation and frequency translation; requires external FPGA logic for IF processing. | Choose for ultra-high-resolution baseband digitization where deterministic latency is less critical than DC accuracy. |
Compared with AD9625BBPZRL-2.6, AD9680BCPZ-500 trades speed for resolution and dynamic range, while ADS54J60IRGCT offers higher ENOB at lower sample rates but omits on-chip DDC functionality-making AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 uniquely balanced for wideband, real-time RF signal intelligence systems.

What power supply voltages does AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 require?
AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 requires three distinct supply domains: AVDD1/DRVDD1/DVDD1 = 1.3 V (±30 mV), AVDD2/DRVDD2/DVDD2 = 2.5 V (±100 mV), and DVDDIO/SPI_VDDIO = 2.5 V or 3.3 V. These are explicitly defined in Table 1 (DC Specifications) and Absolute Maximum Ratings (Table 6) of the Rev. C datasheet.
Can AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 perform digital downconversion internally?
Yes, AD9625BBPZRL-2.6 integrates two independent digital downconverters (DDCs), each configurable for decimate-by-8 or decimate-by-16 with a 10-bit numerically controlled oscillator (NCO).
