Product details
Overview
ADS5482IRGCT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 105-MSPS analog-to-digital converter with 78.6 dBFS SNR at 70 MHz input and 95 dBc SFDR at 70 MHz/135 MSPS (family-spec), internal high-impedance analog buffer, DDR LVDS-compatible outputs, and dual-supply operation (5 V AVDD5 + 3.3 V AVDD3/DVDD3). It targets high-dynamic-range signal acquisition in wireless infrastructure baseband receivers.
For engineers reviewing the ADS5482IRGCT datasheet, ADS5482IRGCT pinout, ADS5482IRGCT application, or ADS5482IRGCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 105-MSPS real-time sampling rate, 16-bit resolution with <±0.5 LSB DNL, QFN-64 PowerPAD™ package thermal performance, and dither-enabled spurious suppression for multi-carrier RF digitization.
Technical Context
The ADS5482IRGCT employs a track-and-hold architecture with integrated high-impedance analog input buffer to isolate source impedance variations and minimize clock feedthrough. Its internal reference generator provides 1.2 V nominal VREF and 3.1 V VCM output, enabling single-supply system simplification without external reference circuitry.
It delivers DDR LVDS digital outputs with programmable 247–454 mV differential swing and 1.125–1.375 V common-mode voltage, supporting deterministic 5-cycle latency and sub-1 ps aperture jitter (80 fs rms) for coherent multi-channel synchronization in software-defined radio and radar front ends.

Pinout & Package
The ADS5482IRGCT is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-64 PowerPAD™ package (9 mm × 9 mm footprint) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = AGND) for low-junction-temperature operation under continuous 2.2 W dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS5482IRGCT?
The ADS5482IRGCT supports a maximum sampling rate of 105 MSPS, as specified in its electrical characteristics table and confirmed across all typical performance plots in the SLAS565C datasheet. This rate is fixed for the ADS5482 variant and differs from the 80 MSPS (ADS5481) and 135 MSPS (ADS5483) members of the same family. Operation beyond 105 MSPS is not guaranteed and may degrade SNR or SFDR performance.
Does the ADS5482IRGCT require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADS5482IRGCT does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates an internal reference generator providing 1.2 V nominal VREF and 3.1 V VCM output. The REF pin (Pin 4) can be left unconnected or used to disable the internal reference by pulling PDWNF and PDWNS high-enabling external reference use only if needed for system-level calibration traceability.
What power supplies are required for proper operation of the ADS5482IRGCT?
The ADS5482IRGCT requires three independent supplies: 5 V (AVDD5, pins 1/2/8/14/18/24/27/30), 3.3 V analog (AVDD3, pins 9/15/19/25/28/31), and 3.3 V digital/LVDS (DVDD3, pins 42/52/63). Each supply must meet recommended operating conditions: AVDD5 = 4.75–5.25 V, AVDD3 = 3.1–3.6 V, DVDD3 = 3.0–3.6 V. Decoupling capacitors are mandatory per the layout guidelines in the datasheet.
How does the dither function improve performance in the ADS5482IRGCT?
The dither function in the ADS5482IRGCT injects controlled noise into the analog path to randomize quantization error, thereby reducing harmonic distortion and improving SFDR-especially at low input amplitudes (<–30 dBFS). When enabled via the DITHER pin (Pin 36), it raises the noise floor slightly but suppresses discrete spurs below –100 dBc, as verified in Figures G022–G023 for 105 MSPS operation.
What is the thermal performance of the ADS5482IRGCT in its QFN-64 PowerPAD™ package?
The ADS5482IRGCT in the QFN-64 PowerPAD™ package achieves RθJA = 20°C/W with no airflow and RθJC = 7°C/W (junction-to-case top), provided the exposed thermal pad (Pin 65) is soldered with ≥49 thermal vias in a 7×7 array. This allows sustained operation at 2.2 W total power dissipation within the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) when mounted on a 4-layer PCB with adequate copper area.
