GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9225 is a monolithic, single-supply, 12-bit, 25 MSPS
analog-to-digital converter with an on-chip, high performance
sample-and-hold amplifier and voltage reference. The AD9225
uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture with output
error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at 25 MSPS
data rates, and guarantees no missing codes over the full operat-
ing temperature range.
The AD9225 combines a low cost, high speed CMOS process
and a novel architecture to achieve the resolution and speed of
existing bipolar implementations at a fraction of the power
consumption and cost.
The input of the AD9225 allows for easy interfacing to both
imaging and communications systems. With the device’s truly
differential input structure, the user can select a variety of input
ranges and offsets, including single-ended applications. The
dynamic performance is excellent.
The sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is well suited for both
multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in succes-
sive channels and sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies
up to and well beyond the Nyquist rate.
The AD9225’s wideband input, combined with the power and
cost savings over previously available monolithics, suits applica-
tions in communications, imaging, and medical ultrasound.
The AD9225 has an on-board programmable reference. An
external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy
and temperature drift requirements of an application.
A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion
cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary
output format. An out-of-range signal indicates an overflow
condition that can be used with the most significant bit to deter-
mine low or high overflow.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD9225 is fabricated on a very cost effective CMOS pro-
cess. High speed precision analog circuits are combined with
high density logic circuits.
The AD9225 offers a complete, single-chip sampling, 12-bit,
25 MSPS analog-to-digital conversion function in 28-lead
SOIC and SSOP packages.
Low Power—The
AD9225 at 280 mW consumes a fraction of
the power presently available in monolithic solutions.
On-Board Sample-and-Hold Amplifier (SHA)—The
versa-
tile SHA input can be configured for either single-ended or
differential inputs.
Out-of-Range (OTR)—The
OTR output bit indicates when
the input signal is beyond the AD9225’s input range.
Single Supply—The
AD9225 uses a single 5 V power supply,
simplifying system power supply design. It also features a sepa-
rate digital driven supply line to accommodate 3 V and 5 V logic
families.
Pin Compatibility—The
AD9225 is pin compatible with the
AD9220, AD9221, AD9223, and AD9224 ADCs.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD9225 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Aperture Delay
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The
point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each particular code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes)
Aperture delay is a measure of the sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA) performance and is measured from the rising edge of the
clock input to when the input signal is held for conversion.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (S/N+D, SINAD)
S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input
signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below
the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.
The value for S/N+D is expressed in decibels.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed
no missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096
codes, respectively, must be present over all operating ranges.
Zero Error
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the num-
ber of bits. Using the following formula,
N
= (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as
N,
the effective number of bits.
The effective number of bits for a device for sine wave inputs at
a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its mea-
sured SINAD.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The major carry transition should occur for an analog value
1/2 LSB below VINA = VINB. Zero error is defined as the
deviation of the actual transition from that point.
Gain Error
The first code transition should occur at an analog value 1/2 LSB
above negative full scale. The last transition should occur at an
analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full scale. Gain error
is the deviation of the actual difference between first and last
code transitions and the ideal difference between first and last
code transitions.
Temperature Drift
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic com-
ponents to the rms value of the measured input signal and is
expressed as a percentage or in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The temperature drift for zero error and gain error specifies the
maximum change from the initial (25∞C) value to the value at
T
MIN
or T
MAX
.
Power Supply Rejection
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc. The value
for SNR is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The specification shows the maximum change in full scale from
the value with the supply at the minimum limit to the value with
the supply at its maximum limit.
Aperture Jitter
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the
input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Aperture jitter is the variation in aperture delay for successive
samples and is manifested as noise on the input to the ADC.
