THEORY OF OPERATION
With the AD9255, the user can sample any f
segment from dc to 200 MHz, using appropriate low-pass or
band-pass filtering at the ADC inputs with little loss in ADC
performance. Operation to 300 MHz analog input is permitted,
but occurs at the expense of increased ADC noise and distortion.
Synchronization capability is provided to allow synchronized
timing between multiple devices.
Programming and control of the AD9255 are accomplished
using a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.
ADC ARCHITECTURE
The AD9255 architecture consists of a front-end sample-and-
hold input network, followed by a pipelined, switched-capacitor
ADC. The quantized outputs from each stage are combined into
a final 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined
architecture permits the first stage to operate on a new input
sample and the remaining stages to operate on the preceding
samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock.
Each stage of the pipeline, excluding the last, consists of a low
resolution flash ADC connected to a switched-capacitor digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) and an interstage residue amplifier.
The residue amplifier magnifies the difference between the
reconstructed DAC output and the flash input for the next stage
in the pipeline. One bit of redundancy is used in each stage to
facilitate digital correction of flash errors. The last stage simply
consists of a flash ADC.
The input stage can be ac- or dc-coupled in differential or
single-ended modes. The output staging block aligns the data,
corrects errors, and passes the data to the output buffers. The
output buffers are powered from a separate supply, allowing
adjustment of the output voltage swing. During power-down,
the output buffers go into a high impedance state.
ANALOG INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The analog input to the AD9255 is a differential switched-
capacitor network that has been designed for optimum
performance while processing a differential input signal.
The clock signal alternatively switches between sample mode
and hold mode (see Figure 64). When the input is switched into
sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging the
sample capacitors and settling within 1/2 of a clock cycle.

A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the
peak transient current required from the output stage of the
driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed across the
inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive
network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC input; therefore,
the precise values are dependent on the application.
In intermediate frequency (IF) undersampling applications, any
shunt capacitors should be reduced. In combination with the
driving source impedance, the shunt capacitors limit the input
bandwidth. Refer to AN-742 Application Note, Frequency
Domain Response of Switched-Capacitor ADCs; AN-827
Application Note, A Resonant Approach to Interfacing Amplifiers to
Switched-Capacitor ADCs; and the Analog Dialogue article,
“Transformer-Coupled Front-End for Wideband A/D Converters, ”
for more information on this subject (see www.analog.com).
For best dynamic performance, the source impedances driving
VIN+ and VIN− should be matched, and the inputs should be
differentially balanced.
An internal differential reference buffer creates positive and
negative reference voltages that define the input span of the ADC
core. The span of the ADC core is set by this buffer to 2 × VREF.
Input Common Mode
The analog inputs of the AD9255 are not internally dc biased.
In ac-coupled applications, the user must provide this bias
externally. Setting the device so that V
recommended for optimum performance, but the device
functions over a wider range with reasonable performance (see
Figure 52). An on-board common-mode voltage reference is
included in the design and is available from the VCM pin.
Optimum performance is achieved when the common-mode
voltage of the analog input is set by the VCM pin voltage
(typically 0.5 × AVDD). The VCM pin must be decoupled to
ground by a 0.1 μF capacitor, as described in the Applications
Information section.
