Product details
Overview
AD9644BCPZ-155 from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, 14-bit, 155 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with JESD204A serial output, 1.8 V supply operation, and support for IF sampling up to 250 MHz. It delivers 71.7 dBFS SNR and 92 dBc SFDR at 70 MHz input, enabling high-fidelity digitization in multiband wireless receivers and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the AD9644BCPZ-155 datasheet, AD9644BCPZ-155 pinout, AD9644BCPZ-155 application, or AD9644BCPZ-155 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel pipeline architecture, CML serial outputs compliant with JESD204A (up to 3.2 Gbps shared link), on-chip PLL clock multiplication, and programmable analog input range (1.4–2.1 Vp-p).
Technical Context
The AD9644BCPZ-155 implements two independent 14-bit pipelined ADC cores with integrated error correction logic and wide-bandwidth differential sample-and-hold amplifiers. Its on-chip PLL multiplies the input sampling clock to generate the JESD204A data-rate clock, eliminating external clock synthesis complexity.
Dual JESD204A lanes support either one shared 3.2 Gbps link (L=1, F=4) or two independent 1.6 Gbps links (L=2, F=2), with dedicated DSYNC inputs per channel for deterministic synchronization. The ADC features a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS), programmable internal voltage reference, and flexible SPI-controlled configuration of data format, power modes, and input scaling.

Pinout & Package
The AD9644BCPZ-155 is housed in a 48-lead, 7 mm × 7 mm LFCSP package with an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to AGND for proper operation and thermal management.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9643BCPZ-155 | 12-bit resolution, same 155 MSPS rate, identical JESD204A interface and LFCSP package. | Lowers SNR by ~4 dB and SFDR by ~5 dB; suitable where 12-bit ENOB suffices for cost-sensitive SDR or instrumentation. | Select AD9643BCPZ-155 when system dynamic range requirements are ≤70 dBFS and bill-of-materials cost is prioritized over precision. |
| ADS52J90IRGCT | Texas Instruments 16-bit, 100 MSPS dual ADC with JESD204B output; higher resolution but lower speed and different voltage rails (3.3 V AVDD). | Superior DC accuracy and SNR for baseband digitization; incompatible clocking and power architecture prevents drop-in replacement. | Choose ADS52J90IRGCT only for applications demanding >13 ENOB at <100 MSPS and where redesign of power delivery and clock tree is acceptable. |
Compared with AD9643BCPZ-155, the AD9644BCPZ-155 provides 2 additional bits of resolution and 4 dB higher SNR-critical for LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation. Versus ADS52J90IRGCT, it trades resolution for speed and JESD204A compatibility, making it preferable for 155 MSPS IF sampling in space-constrained wireless infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9644BCPZ-155?
The AD9644BCPZ-155 supports a usable full-scale analog input bandwidth of 250 MHz, as specified in the datasheet. This enables direct undersampling of RF signals in the UMTS, LTE, and WiMAX bands without requiring external bandpass filtering. Performance metrics such as SNR and SFDR remain valid across this range when operating within rated conditions (e.g., 1.75 Vp-p input, 155 MSPS, 25°C).
Does the AD9644BCPZ-155 require an external clock multiplier to achieve JESD204A compliance?
No, the AD9644BCPZ-155 integrates an on-chip PLL that multiplies the input sampling clock to generate the required JESD204A data-rate clock. For example, at 155 MSPS, the internal PLL produces a 3.1 GHz clock for a 3.2 Gbps shared-link configuration. This eliminates the need for external clock synthesizers and simplifies system-level timing design.
What power supply voltages does the AD9644BCPZ-155 require?
The AD9644BCPZ-155 operates from two 1.8 V supplies: AVDD for analog circuitry and DRVDD for digital output drivers. Both supplies must be regulated between 1.7 V and 1.9 V. The exposed thermal pad must be connected to AGND, and separate analog/digital ground planes should be used with low-inductance connections to minimize noise coupling into the ADC cores.
Can the AD9644BCPZ-155 operate in standalone mode without SPI configuration?
Yes, the AD9644BCPZ-155 powers up in a default operational mode with factory-programmed settings: offset binary data format, internal reference enabled, DCS active, and JESD204A link configured for two independent lanes. SPI is required only to modify behavior-such as changing data format, disabling DCS, adjusting input range, or enabling BIST-making it functional immediately after power-up.
What is the pipeline latency of the AD9644BCPZ-155 at 155 MSPS?
The AD9644BCPZ-155 exhibits a fixed pipeline latency of 24 clock cycles at 155 MSPS, as confirmed in Table 4 of the Rev. D datasheet. This deterministic latency enables precise time-of-flight calculations in radar and ultrasound systems and simplifies FPGA-based capture buffer alignment across multiple synchronized ADCs.
