Product details
Overview
ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z from Intersil is a 14-bit, 500 MSPS JESD204B high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using FemtoCharge™ technology. It employs two time-interleaved 250 MSPS unit ADCs with proprietary Intersil Interleave Engine (I2E) for automatic offset/gain/sample-time correction. It delivers 73.1 dBFS SNR at 30 MHz input and 87 dBc SFDR at 500 MSPS, targeting radar antenna array processing and broadband communications receivers.
For engineers reviewing the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z datasheet, ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z pinout, ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z application, or ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z equivalent, key selection factors include deterministic JESD204B latency, dual-lane or triple-lane serial output configuration up to 4.375 Gbps per lane, 7 mm × 7 mm 48-lead QFN package with thermal pad, and support for Nap/Sleep power modes with sub-millisecond wake-up.
Technical Context
The ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z implements a dual-channel time-interleaved architecture synchronized by a single 500 MHz conversion clock, with all interleave timing managed internally. Its I2E engine continuously corrects offset, gain, and sample-time mismatches between unit ADCs in Track Mode, reducing largest interleave spur to –99 dBc for 10–240 MHz inputs.
JESD204B Subclass 2 compliance enables multi-chip synchronization and deterministic latency; the configurable transmitter supports 2 or 3 lanes, programmable lane rates (1–4.375 Gbps), and multiple packing modes. SPI control provides access to built-in test patterns, clock divider, and transport-layer configuration registers (0xDF–0xF3).

FAQ
What is the maximum JESD204B lane rate supported by the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z?
The ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z supports a maximum JESD204B lane rate of 4.375 Gbps per lane. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Features" section and "Electrical Specifications" table under JESD204B transmitter parameters. The device can be configured for either two or three lanes to accommodate different FPGA SerDes capabilities while maintaining full 500 MSPS throughput.
Does the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z require external calibration for interleaving artifacts?
No, the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z incorporates the proprietary Intersil Interleave Engine (I2E) that performs automatic real-time correction of offset, gain, and sample-time mismatches between its two 250 MSPS unit ADCs. As documented in the datasheet, this eliminates the need for external calibration and reduces the largest interleave spur to –99 dBc in Track Mode.
What power modes does the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z support, and what are their typical power consumptions?
The ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z supports three power states: Normal mode (1060 mW at 500 MSPS), Nap mode (421 mW), and Sleep mode (6–12 mW). These values are specified in the "Electrical Specifications" table on Page 6 of FN7973 Rev 2.00. Nap mode retains configuration and enables µs-scale wake-up; Sleep mode resets internal state and requires ms-scale recovery.
Is the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z pin-compatible with other members of the ISLA214Sxx family?
Yes, the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z is pin-compatible with the ISLA214S50 and ISLA214S35 as stated in the datasheet's "Pin-Compatible Family" section and confirmed by identical 48-lead QFN packaging and shared pinout diagram (Figure 2). This allows drop-in replacement across speed grades without PCB redesign.
What is the full-power bandwidth and input impedance of the ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z analog input?
The ISLA214P50-55210EV1Z has a full-power bandwidth of 500 MHz and a differential input impedance of 600 Ω with 13.3 pF input capacitance, as specified in the "Electrical Specifications" table on Page 5 of FN7973 Rev 2.00. These parameters define its ability to accurately capture wideband signals without significant amplitude roll-off or phase distortion.
