3 Description
The ADS54J40 is a low-power, wide-bandwidth, 14-
bit, 1.0-GSPS, dual-channel, analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). Designed for high signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR), the device delivers a noise floor of –158
dBFS/Hz for applications aiming for highest dynamic
range over a wide instantaneous bandwidth. The
device supports the JESD204B serial interface with
data rates up to 10.0 Gbps, supporting two or four
lanes per ADC. The buffered analog input provides
uniform input impedance across a wide frequency
range and minimizes sample-and-hold glitch energy.
Each ADC channel optionally can be connected to a
wideband digital down-converter (DDC) block. The
ADS54J40 provides excellent spurious-free dynamic
range (SFDR) over a large input frequency range with
very low power consumption.
The JESD204B interface reduces the number of
interface lines, allowing high system integration
density. An internal phase-locked loop (PLL) multiplies
the ADC sampling clock to derive the bit clock that is
used to serialize the 14-bit data from each channel.
