Product details
Overview
AD9626BCPZ-250 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 250 MSPS analog-to-digital converter optimized for wideband communications and radar subsystems. It delivers 64.8 dBFS SNR at 70 MHz input, 80 dBc SFDR, and 10.5 ENOB with 700 MHz analog bandwidth, operating from a single 1.8 V supply and supporting CMOS output formats.
For engineers reviewing the AD9626BCPZ-250 datasheet, AD9626BCPZ-250 pinout, AD9626BCPZ-250 application, or AD9626BCPZ-250 equivalent, key selection criteria include sampling rate scalability (170/210/250 MSPS variants), on-chip reference and track-and-hold integration, programmable input range (1.0–1.5 V), and dual-port interleaved mode support up to 125 MHz.
Technical Context
The AD9626BCPZ-250 employs a pipelined switched-capacitor ADC architecture with digital error correction logic and a front-end differential sample-and-hold amplifier. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the differential clock, and each pipeline stage (except the last) uses a low-resolution flash ADC, switched-capacitor DAC, and residue amplifier with 1-bit redundancy.
Digital outputs are CMOS-compatible and configurable as offset binary, two's complement, or Gray code. The device includes a clock duty cycle stabilizer, integrated data capture clock (DCO+/DCO−), and serial port interface (SPI) for configuration of gain, power-down, test patterns, and data formatting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9625BCPZ-250 | 12-bit, 250 MSPS, but with JESD204B serial output instead of parallel CMOS; higher power (430 mW); no interleaved dual-port mode. | Targets space-constrained or FPGA-GTY-transceiver-based designs where PCB routing density outweighs parallel bus timing complexity. | Select AD9625BCPZ-250 when serial interface reduces FPGA pin count and board layer count is critical; retain AD9626BCPZ-250 for legacy parallel-FPGA interfaces or deterministic latency requirements. |
| ADS54J60IRGC | 14-bit, 500 MSPS, JESD204B output; higher resolution and speed but no on-chip reference; requires external REF and clock cleanup. | Suitable for next-generation test equipment needing >12-bit ENOB at IF frequencies above 150 MHz. | Choose ADS54J60IRGC only if resolution and sample rate justify added system complexity; AD9626BCPZ-250 remains optimal for cost-sensitive, self-contained wideband digitizers. |
Compared with AD9625BCPZ-250 and ADS54J60IRGC, AD9626BCPZ-250 uniquely combines parallel CMOS outputs, integrated reference, and deterministic 6-cycle latency-making it the preferred choice for FPGA-based real-time processing where timing predictability and analog integration reduce system-level design risk.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9626BCPZ-250?
The AD9626BCPZ-250 features a full-power analog bandwidth of 700 MHz, enabling direct sampling of RF signals up to this frequency. Its dynamic performance (e.g., 64.8 dBFS SNR) is characterized up to 70 MHz, but the device maintains usable response beyond that-supporting undersampling applications in L-band and S-band radar and communications systems where aliasing is managed by anti-alias filtering.
Does the AD9626BCPZ-250 require external voltage references or clock conditioning circuits?
No. The AD9626BCPZ-250 integrates an on-chip voltage reference and track-and-hold amplifier, eliminating the need for external reference ICs. It also includes a clock duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that corrects input clock asymmetry, removing the requirement for external clock conditioning. These integrations simplify system design and improve robustness in thermally varying environments.
How does the interleaved dual-port mode function in the AD9626BCPZ-250?
In interleaved dual-port mode, the AD9626BCPZ-250 splits its 250 MSPS output stream across two 12-bit ports (Port A and Port B), delivering alternating samples at 125 MSPS per port. This reduces per-port data rate and timing margin pressure on FPGA inputs, facilitating reliable capture using standard LVCMOS I/O without requiring ultra-high-speed transceivers or complex PCB routing.
What power supply requirements does the AD9626BCPZ-250 have?
The AD9626BCPZ-250 operates from two 1.8 V supplies: AVDD for the analog core and DRVDD for digital outputs. Both rails must be independently decoupled per the layout guidelines. Total power consumption is 364 mW at 250 MSPS (1.8 V), with separate current draw specs: ~191 mA on AVDD and ~25.5 mA on DRVDD in single-port mode.
Is the AD9626BCPZ-250 pin-compatible with other members of the AD9626 family?
Yes. The AD9626BCPZ-250 shares identical pinout and package (56-lead LFCSP) with the AD9626-170 and AD9626-210 variants. This allows drop-in replacement across sample rate grades without PCB redesign, enabling flexible prototyping and production scaling based on system performance and cost targets.
