Product details
Overview
ADS6225IRGZT from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, 12-bit, 125 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with serial LVDS interface, simultaneous sample-and-hold architecture, 3.5 dB coarse gain, and internal reference. It delivers 70.7 dBFS SINAD and 90 dBc SFDR at 10 MHz input (0 dB gain), operating from 3.3-V analog/digital supplies in industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). It is used in base-station IF receivers requiring high-density signal acquisition with low jitter and serialized data output.
For engineers reviewing the ADS6225IRGZT datasheet, ADS6225IRGZT pinout, ADS6225IRGZT application, or ADS6225IRGZT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, QFN-48 package mapping, LVDS timing constraints, dual-channel latency (12 clock cycles), and validated alternative ADCs for IF sampling systems where SFDR >85 dBc and aperture jitter <250 fs rms are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The ADS6225IRGZT implements two independent 12-bit SAR-based ADC cores with simultaneous sampling, each feeding a digital encoder and serializer. Its PLL multiplies the input clock to generate a DDR bit clock for 14× serialized LVDS output, supporting both 1-wire and 2-wire interface modes. The device supports programmable fine gain (±6 dB in 1-dB steps) and coarse gain (0 dB or 3.5 dB) to optimize SFDR/SNR trade-offs.
It features dual LVDS output lanes per channel (DA0_P/M, DA1_P/M, DB0_P/M, DB1_P/M), frame/bit clocks (FCLKP/M, DCLKP/M), and flexible configuration via parallel pins (CFG1–CFG4, SEN, PDNA/PDNB) or SPI-like serial interface (SEN/SCLK/SDATA). Internal termination options and programmable LVDS current improve signal integrity without external resistors.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by ADS6225IRGZT?
The ADS6225IRGZT supports a maximum sampling rate of 125 MSPS, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables of the TI SLAS543B datasheet. This rate is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) with AVDD = LVDD = 3.3 V and proper clock conditioning. At this rate, the device maintains 70.7 dBFS SINAD and 90 dBc SFDR at 10 MHz input frequency with 0 dB coarse gain. Exceeding 125 MSPS is not guaranteed and may violate timing margins.
Does ADS6225IRGZT require external decoupling capacitors for its internal reference?
No, the ADS6225IRGZT does not require external decoupling capacitors for its internal reference. As stated in the FEATURES section of the SLAS543B datasheet, "No External Decoupling Required for References." The internal reference (VREFT = 2.0 V, VREFB = 1.0 V) is fully self-contained and stable across temperature and supply variations, eliminating the need for external bypass capacitors and reducing BOM count and PCB area in compact designs.
What LVDS interface modes does ADS6225IRGZT support?
The ADS6225IRGZT supports both 1-wire and 2-wire LVDS interface modes, selectable via CFG1 pin configuration. In 2-wire mode, each ADC channel uses two differential pairs (e.g., DA0_P/M and DA1_P/M for Channel A), halving the serial data rate versus 1-wire-e.g., 875 Mbps at 125 MSPS with 14× serialization. Frame and bit clocks (FCLKP/M, DCLKP/M) are always transmitted as LVDS outputs regardless of mode, ensuring deterministic timing for FPGA capture logic.
How is channel synchronization handled in ADS6225IRGZT?
The ADS6225IRGZT implements true simultaneous sample-and-hold for both channels, with channel-to-channel aperture delay variation specified at ±80 ps over temperature. This tight matching eliminates inter-channel skew in I/Q or diversity applications. No external synchronization signals are needed-the internal SHA circuits are driven by the same clock edge, and latency is identical (12 clock cycles) for both channels, enabling coherent signal processing without post-acquisition alignment.
Can ADS6225IRGZT operate with an external reference?
Yes, the ADS6225IRGZT supports external reference operation. When the SEN pin is biased to 0 V or (3/8)LVDD, the device uses external reference inputs applied to REFP and REFM pins. In this mode, full-scale input range becomes 2 Vpp (0 V SEN) or 1.34 Vpp (3/8 LVDD SEN), and VCM remains at 1.5 V. External reference mode is confirmed in Table 6 (SEN Control Pin) and the DESCRIPTION section of SLAS543B, allowing system designers to substitute precision external references for improved gain stability.
