Product details
Overview
AD9644BCPZ-80 from Analog Devices is a dual, 14-bit, 80 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with JESD204A serial output, 1.8 V supply operation, and differential pipeline architecture optimized for IF sampling up to 250 MHz in communications receivers. It delivers 73.7 dBFS SNR and 92 dBc SFDR at 70 MHz input, supporting diversity radio systems and multimode 3G/4G baseband processing.
For engineers reviewing the AD9644BCPZ-80 datasheet, AD9644BCPZ-80 pinout, AD9644BCPZ-80 application, or AD9644BCPZ-80 equivalent, key selection criteria include JESD204A link configuration (L=1/F=4 or L=2/F=2), dual-channel synchronization via DSYNC inputs, 1.8 V single-supply compatibility, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) support.
Technical Context
The AD9644BCPZ-80 implements two independent 14-bit pipelined ADC cores with integrated error correction logic, each featuring wide-bandwidth differential sample-and-hold amplifiers and programmable input ranges (1.4–2.1 Vp-p). Its on-chip PLL multiplies the input clock to generate the JESD204A data-rate clock, enabling flexible clock division (1-to-8) and duty cycle stabilization.
Dual CML serial outputs operate at up to 1.6 Gbps per channel (NRZ), supporting either separate links (L=2) or shared link (L=1) configurations. Channel synchronization is managed through dedicated DSYNC+/− inputs per ADC, while SPI-controlled BIST and configurable data formatting (offset binary, twos complement, gray) provide system-level flexibility.

Pinout & Package
AD9644BCPZ-80 is housed in a 48-lead, 7 mm × 7 mm LFCSP package with exposed thermal pad (CP-48-9). The exposed pad must be soldered to AGND for proper thermal performance and analog grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD9644BCPZ-80?
The AD9644BCPZ-80 supports a usable full-scale analog input bandwidth of 250 MHz, as specified in the datasheet. This enables direct sampling of IF signals in LTE, W-CDMA, and WiMAX systems without requiring external anti-aliasing filters beyond basic RF front-end conditioning. Performance metrics such as SNR and SFDR remain validated up to 220 MHz at 80 MSPS.
Does the AD9644BCPZ-80 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD9644BCPZ-80 includes a programmable internal voltage reference that eliminates the need for an external reference component. Users can configure the reference mode via SPI to support flexible analog input ranges from 1.4 Vp-p to 2.1 Vp-p, simplifying system design and reducing BOM count.
How does the JESD204A interface of the AD9644BCPZ-80 differ between L=1 and L=2 configurations?
In L=2 mode, the AD9644BCPZ-80 drives two independent JESD204A links (one per ADC channel) at up to 1.6 Gbps each. In L=1 mode, both channels share a single link at up to 3.2 Gbps. Configuration is controlled via SPI registers; both modes maintain deterministic latency and support SYNC input for multi-device alignment.
What is the power consumption of the AD9644BCPZ-80 in standby mode?
The AD9644BCPZ-80 consumes 85 mW in standby mode, as measured with DC input and inactive CLK pins. This low-power state retains register settings and allows wake-up in 5 μs, making it ideal for burst-mode communication systems like TD-SCDMA or radar pulse processing where rapid reactivation is required.
Can the AD9644BCPZ-80 synchronize its two ADC channels to an external timing source?
Yes, the AD9644BCPZ-80 provides independent DSYNC+A/DSYNC−A and DSYNC+B/DSYNC−B inputs for each channel, allowing precise alignment to an external SYSREF or frame boundary signal. When asserted synchronously, these inputs ensure deterministic latency matching (<1 clock cycle variation) between channels-essential for I/Q imbalance correction and MIMO beamforming.
