1.1.3 Control Modes
Much of the user control can be accomplished with several
control pins that are provided. Examples include initiation of
the calibration cycle, power down mode and full scale range
setting. However, the ADC08D1500 also provides an Extend-
ed Control mode whereby a serial interface is used to access
register-based control of several advanced features. The Ex-
tended Control mode is not intended to be enabled and
disabled dynamically. Rather, the user is expected to employ
either the normal control mode or the Extended Control mode
at all times. When the device is in the Extended Control mode,
pin-based control of several features is replaced with register-
based control and those pin-based controls are disabled.
These pins are OutV (pin 3), OutEdge/DDR (pin 4), FSR (pin
14) and CalDly/DES (pin 127). See 1.2 NORMAL/EXTEND-
ED CONTROL for details on the Extended Control mode.
1.1.4 The Analog Inputs
The ADC08D1500 must be driven with a differential input sig-
nal. Operation with a single-ended signal is not recommend-
ed. It is important that the inputs either be a.c. coupled to the
inputs with the V

to the V
used.
Two full-scale range settings are provided with pin 14 (FSR).
The input full-scale range is programmable in the normal
mode by setting a level on pin 14 (FSR) as defined in by the
specification V
The full-scale range setting operates equally on both ADCs.
In the Extended Control mode, programming the Input Full-
Scale Voltage Adjust register allows the input full-scale range
to be adjusted as described in 1.4 REGISTER DESCRIP-
TION and 2.2 THE ANALOG INPUT.
1.1.5 Clocking
The ADC08D1500 must be driven with an a.c. coupled, dif-
ferential clock signal. 2.3 THE CLOCK INPUTS describes the
use of the clock input pins. A differential LVDS output clock is
available for use in latching the ADC output data into whatever
device is used to receive the data.
The ADC08D1500 offers two options for output clocking.
These options include a choice of which DCLK edge the out-

(SDR) or Double Data Rate (DDR) outputs.
The ADC08D1500 also has the option to use a duty cycle
corrected clock receiver as part of the input clock circuit. This
feature is enabled by default and provides improved ADC
clocking. This circuitry allows the ADC to be clocked with a
signal source having a duty cycle ratio of 80 / 20 % (worst
case).
1.1.5.1 Dual-Edge Sampling
The DES mode allows one of the ADC08D1500's inputs (I or
Q Channel) to be sampled by both ADCs. One ADC samples
the input on the positive edge of the input clock and the other
ADC samples the same input on the other edge of the input
clock. A single input is thus sampled twice per input clock cy-
cle, resulting in an overall sample rate of twice the input clock
frequency, or 3 GSPS with a 1.5 GHz input clock.
In this mode the outputs are interleaved such that the data is
effectively demultiplexed 1:4. Since the sample rate is dou-
bled, each of the 4 output buses have a 750 MHz output rate
with a 1.5 GHz input clock. All data is available in parallel. The
four bytes of parallel data that are output with each clock is in
the following sampling order, from the earliest to the latest:
DQd, DId, DQ, DI. indicates what the outputs represent for
the various sampling possibilities.
In the non-extended mode of operation only the "I" input can
be sampled in the DES mode. In the extended mode of op-
eration the user can select which input is sampled.
The ADC08D1500 also includes an automatic clock phase
background calibration feature which can be used in DES
mode to automatically and continuously adjust the clock
phase of the I and Q channel. This feature removes the need
to adjust the clock phase setting manually and provides opti-
mal Dual-Edge Sampling ENOB performance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The background calibration feature in
DES mode does not replace the requirement for On-Com-
mand Calibration which should be run before entering DES
mode, or if a large swing in ambient temperature is experi-
enced by the device.
ative edge of the output data clock (DCLK). This is chosen
with the OutEdge input (pin 4). A high on the OutEdge input
pin causes the output data to transition on the rising edge of
DCLK, while grounding this input causes the output to transi-
