Product details
Overview
AD9884KS-100 from Analog Devices is an 8-bit, 100 MSPS monolithic graphics digitizer optimized for RGB signal acquisition in PC and workstation video interfaces. It features 500 MHz full-power analog bandwidth, internal +1.25 V reference, programmable gain/offset/clamp control, and on-chip PLL generating pixel clocks from HSYNC/COAST - enabling support for 1280×1024@75Hz displays with minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the AD9884KS-100 datasheet, AD9884KS-100 pinout, AD9884KS-100 application, or AD9884KS-100 equivalent, this device is selected for high-fidelity analog-to-digital conversion of RGB video signals where precise timing alignment, low power (730 mW typical), and dual-channel parallel or interleaved output modes are required.
Technical Context
The AD9884KS-100 implements three independent 8-bit ADC channels (R/G/B) with fully programmable per-channel gain (0.5–1.0 Vp-p input range) and 6-bit offset control. Its internal PLL accepts 30–90 kHz HSYNC inputs and generates pixel clocks from 20 to 100 MHz with 500 psp-p jitter, maintaining phase alignment between DATACK, DATACK/, and HSOUT outputs.
Clamp generation is configurable via serial port register (internal or external CLAMP input), with programmable placement and duration relative to HSYNC trailing edge. The device supports 2-pixels-per-clock mode via CKINV pin inversion and offers dual-channel output configurations (interleaved or parallel) with 24-bit RGB data routed across six 8-bit CMOS output ports (DRA/DGB/DBB × A/B).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar graphics digitizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9884KS-140 | Higher maximum conversion rate (140 MSPS vs. 100 MSPS); identical pinout, package, and feature set | Required for >100 MHz pixel clock applications (e.g., UXGA 1600×1200@60Hz) | Select AD9884KS-140 only if system requires >100 MSPS sampling; AD9884KS-100 is optimal for cost-sensitive 1280×1024 designs with adequate margin. |
| ADV7123KSTZ140 | Triple 10-bit DAC (not ADC); no PLL, clamp, or serial configuration - functionally complementary rather than substitutable | Used in reverse direction (digital→analog); not suitable as ADC replacement | Not a functional alternative; consider only for system-level redesign involving DAC-based signal generation, not digitization. |
Compared with AD9884KS-140, the AD9884KS-100 trades peak sampling rate for lower power and cost while retaining identical programmability, timing architecture, and interface compatibility - making it ideal for mainstream XGA/SXGA applications. Neither part is functionally replaceable by ADV7123KSTZ140 due to fundamental ADC/DAC role reversal.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported display resolution for the AD9884KS-100?
The AD9884KS-100 supports display resolutions up to 1280×1024 at 75 Hz, enabled by its 100 MSPS conversion rate and 500 MHz analog bandwidth. This provides sufficient pixel sampling headroom and signal integrity for accurate digitization of high-resolution RGB graphics signals without aliasing or bandwidth-related distortion. The AD9884KS-100 achieves this while maintaining tight timing alignment between DATACK, DATACK/, and HSOUT outputs.
Does the AD9884KS-100 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD9884KS-100 includes an internal +1.25 V reference with 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, eliminating the need for an external reference IC. REFOUT is provided for bypassing with a 0.1 µF capacitor to ground, and REFIN accepts an external +1.25 V ±10% reference if higher precision is required. This integrated reference reduces BOM count and simplifies layout for the AD9884KS-100 in compact graphics subsystems.
How does the COAST function operate in the AD9884KS-100?
The COAST input allows the AD9884KS-100's internal PLL to maintain its output frequency during absence of HSYNC - such as during vertical blanking intervals. When COAST is asserted (active-high, polarity programmable), the PLL sustains pixel clock generation without drift, preventing frame tearing or sync loss. This behavior is confirmed in the Preliminary Technical Data Rev. PrA, where COAST is explicitly defined as enabling "PLL hold" functionality for continuous operation.
Can the AD9884KS-100 be configured for single-channel output mode?
Yes, the AD9884KS-100 supports both single-channel and dual-channel output modes via the Channel Mode bit (bit 7) in the Control register (0xAH). Setting this bit to 0 configures the device for single-channel operation, directing all digitized data to the "A" output ports (DRA/DGA/DBA), while disabling "B" port outputs. This mode reduces FPGA/ASIC pin count and simplifies data capture in bandwidth-limited systems using the AD9884KS-100.
What is the purpose of the CKINV pin on the AD9884KS-100?
The CKINV pin enables 2-pixels-per-clock operation in the AD9884KS-100 by inverting the internal ADC clock on alternate frames. When logic high, it causes sampling on both rising and falling edges of the pixel clock - effectively doubling pixel throughput without increasing clock frequency. This reduces EMI, relaxes PCB routing constraints, and lowers power consumption compared to running the AD9884KS-100 at 200 MHz to achieve equivalent resolution.
