amplifier (SHA) is equally suited for both multiplexed sys-  
tems that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive channels  
as well as sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to  
and beyond the Nyquist rate. Also, the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
is well suited for communication systems employing Direct-  
IF down conversion since the SHA in the differential input  
mode can achieve excellent dynamic performance far beyond its  
specified Nyquist frequency.2

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD9221, AD9223, and AD9220 are a generation of high  
performance, single supply 12-bit analog-to-digital converters.  
Each device exhibits true 12-bit linearity and temperature drift  
performance1 as well as 11.5-bit or better ac performance.2 The  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 share the same interface options,  
package, and pinout. Thus, the product family provides an upward  
or downward component selection path based on performance,  
sample rate and power. The devices differ with respect to their  
specified sampling rate, and power consumption, which is reflected  
in their dynamic performance over frequency.  
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 (OTR) signal indicates an over-  
flow condition that can be used with the most significant bit to  
determine low or high overflow.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 combine a low cost, high speed  
CMOS process and a novel architecture to achieve the resolution  
and speed of existing hybrid and monolithic implementations at  
a fraction of the power consumption and cost. Each device is a  
complete, monolithic ADC with an on-chip, high performance,  
low noise sample-and-hold amplifier and programmable voltage  
reference. An external reference can also be chosen to suit the  
dc accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application.  
The devices use a multistage differential pipelined architecture  
with digital output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accu-  
racy at the specified data rates and to guarantee no missing  
codes over the full operating temperature range.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 family offers a complete single-  
chip sampling 12-bit, analog-to-digital conversion function in  
pin compatible 28-lead SOIC and SSOP packages.  
Flexible Sampling Rates—The AD9221, AD9223, and AD9220  
offer sampling rates of 1.5 MSPS, 3.0 MSPS, and 10.0 MSPS,  
respectively.  
Low Power and Single Supply—The AD9221, AD9223, and  
AD9220 consume only 59 mW, 100 mW, and 250 mW, respec-  
tively, on a single 5 V power supply.  
Excellent DC Performance Over Temperature—The AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 provide 12-bit linearity and temperature drift  
performance.1  
The input of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is highly flexible,  
allowing for easy interfacing to imaging, communications, medi-  
cal, and data-acquisition systems. A truly differential input  
structure allows for both single-ended and differential input  
interfaces of varying input spans. The sample-and-hold  
Excellent AC Performance and Low Noise—The AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 provide better than 11.3 ENOB performance  
and have an input referred noise of 0.09 LSB rms.2  
Flexible Analog Input Range—The versatile on-board sample-  
and-hold (SHA) can be configured for either single-ended or  
differential inputs of varying input spans.

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

Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (S/N+D, SINAD) Ratio  
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.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS  
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)  
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)  
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.  
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)  
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.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes)  
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.  
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)  
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the  
input signal and the peak spurious signal.

also similar. The data sheet is structured such that the designer  
can make an informed decision in selecting the proper A/D and  
optimizing its performance to fit the specific application.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 are members of a high perfor-  
mance, complete single-supply 12-bit ADC product family based  
on the same CMOS pipelined architecture. The product family  
allows the system designer an upward or downward component  
selection path based on dynamic performance, sample rate, and  
power. The analog input range of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
is highly flexible, allowing for both single-ended or differen-  
tial inputs of varying amplitudes that can be ac or dc coupled.  
Each device shares the same interface options, pinout, and  
package offering.

The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 utilize a four-stage pipeline  
architecture with a wideband input sample-and-hold amplifier  
(SHA) implemented on a cost-effective CMOS process. Each  
stage of the pipeline, excluding the last stage, consists of a low  
resolution flash A/D connected to a switched capacitor DAC  
and interstage residue amplifier (MDAC). The residue amplifier  
amplifies 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 of the stages to facilitate digital  
correction of flash errors. The last stage simply consists of a  
flash A/D.

The pipeline architecture allows a greater throughput rate at the  
expense of pipeline delay or latency. This means that while the  
converter is capable of capturing a new input sample every clock  
cycle, it actually takes three clock cycles for the conversion to be  
fully processed and appear at the output. This latency is not a  
concern in most applications. The digital output, together with  
the out-of-range indicator (OTR), is latched into an output buffer  
to drive the output pins. The output drivers can be configured to  
interface with 5 V or 3.3 V logic families.

The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 use both edges of the clock in  
their internal timing circuitry (see Figure 1 and Specifications  
for exact timing requirements). The A/D samples the analog  
input on the rising edge of the clock input. During the clock low  
time (between the falling edge and rising edge of the clock), the  
input SHA is in the sample mode; during the clock high time, it  
is in hold. System disturbances just prior to the rising edge of  
the clock and/or excessive clock jitter may cause the input SHA  
to acquire the wrong value, and should be minimized.

ANALOG INPUT AND REFERENCE OVERVIEW  
Figure 4, a simplified model of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220,  
highlights the relationship between the analog inputs, VINA,  
VINB, and the reference voltage, VREF. Like the voltage  
applied to the top of the resistor ladder in a flash A/D converter,  
the value VREF defines the maximum input voltage to the A/D  
core. The minimum input voltage to the A/D core is automati-  
cally defined to be –VREF.  
The internal circuitry of both the input SHA and individual  
pipeline stages of each member of the product family are opti-  
mized for both power dissipation and performance. An inherent  
trade-off exists between the input SHA’s dynamic performance  
and its power dissipation. Figures 2 and 3 show this trade-off by  
comparing the full-power bandwidth and settling time of the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. Both figures reveal that higher full-  
power bandwidths and faster settling times are achieved at the  
expense of an increase in power dissipation. Similarly, a trade-  
off exists between the sampling rate and the power dissipated  
in each stage.

The addition of a differential input structure gives the user an  
additional level of flexibility that is not possible with traditional  
flash converters. The input stage allows the user to easily config-  
ure the inputs for either single-ended operation or differential  
operation. The A/D’s input structure allows the dc offset of the  
input signal to be varied independently of the input span of the  
converter. Specifically, the input to the A/D core is the differ-  
ence of the voltages applied at the VINA and VINB input  
pins. Therefore, the equation,  
The SHA’s optimum distortion performance for a differential or  
single-ended input is achieved under the following two conditions:  
(1) the common-mode voltage is centered around midsupply  
(i.e., AVDD/2 or approximately 2.5 V) and (2) the input signal  
voltage span of the SHA is set at its lowest (i.e., 2 V input span).  
This is due to the sampling switches, QS1, being CMOS switches  
whose RON resistance is very low but has some signal depen-  
dency that causes frequency dependent ac distortion while the  
SHA is in the track mode. The RON resistance of a CMOS  
switch is typically lowest at its midsupply but increases symmetri-  
cally as the input signal approaches either AVDD or AVSS. A  
lower input signal voltage span centered at midsupply reduces  
the degree of RON modulation.

the input to the A/D core.

Figure 6 compares the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220’s THD vs.  
frequency performance for a 2 V input span with a common-  
mode voltage of 1 V and 2.5 V. Note how each A/D with a  
common-mode voltage of 1 V exhibits a similar degradation in  
THD performance at higher frequencies (i.e., beyond 750 kHz).  
Similarly, note how the THD performance at lower frequencies  
becomes less sensitive to the common-mode voltage. As the  
input frequency approaches dc, the distortion will be dominated  
by static nonlinearities such as INL and DNL. It is important to  
note that these dc static nonlinearities are independent of any  
RON modulation.

where VREF is the voltage at the VREF pin.  
While an infinite combination of VINA and VINB inputs exist  
that satisfy Equation 2, there is an additional limitation placed  
on the inputs by the power supply voltages of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. The power supplies bound the valid operat-  
ing range for VINA and VINB. The condition,  
AVSS – 0.3V <VINA < AVDD + 0.3V  
AVSS – 0.3V <VINB < AVDD + 0.3V

ANALOG INPUT OPERATION  
Figure 5 shows the equivalent analog input of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220, which consists of a differential sample-and-  
hold amplifier (SHA). The differential input structure of the  
SHA is highly flexible, allowing the devices to be easily config-  
ured for either a differential or single-ended input. The dc  
offset, or common-mode voltage, of the input(s) can be set to  
accommodate either single-supply or dual-supply systems. Also,  
note that the analog inputs, VINA and VINB, are interchange-  
able with the exception that reversing the inputs to the VINA  
and VINB pins results in a polarity inversion.

Due to the high degree of symmetry within the SHA topology, a  
significant improvement in distortion performance for differen-  
tial input signals with frequencies up to and beyond Nyquist can  
be realized. This inherent symmetry provides excellent cancella-  
tion of both common-mode distortion and noise. Also, the  
required input signal voltage span is reduced by a half, which  
further reduces the degree of RON modulation and its effects  
on distortion.

AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
Referring to Figure 5, the differential SHA is implemented using a  
switched-capacitor topology. Therefore, its input impedance  
and its subsequent effects on the input drive source should be  
understood to maximize the converter’s performance. The com-  
applications may require a larger resistor value to reduce the noise  
bandwidth or possibly limit the fault current in an overvoltage  
condition. Other applications may require a larger resistor value  
as part of an antialiasing filter. In any case, since the THD  
performance is dependent on the series resistance and the above  
mentioned factors, optimizing this resistor value for a given  
application is encouraged.  
bination of the pin capacitance, CPIN, parasitic capacitance, CPAR  
and sampling capacitance, CS, is typically less than 16 pF.  
,
When the SHA goes into track mode, the input source must  
charge or discharge the voltage stored on CS to the new input  
voltage. This action of charging and discharging CS, averaged  
over a period of time and for a given sampling frequency, fS,  
makes the input impedance appear to have a benign resistive  
component. However, if this action is analyzed within a sampling  
period (i.e., T = 1/fS), the input impedance is dynamic and there-  
fore certain precautions on the input drive source should be  
observed.  
A slight improvement in SNR performance and dc offset  
performance is achieved by matching the input resistance of VINA  
and VINB. The degree of improvement is dependent on the  
resistor value and the sampling rate. For series resistor values  
greater than 100 , the use of a matching resistor is encouraged.  
Figure 8 shows a plot for THD performance versus RSERIES for  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 at their respective sampling rate  
and Nyquist frequency. The Nyquist frequency typically repre-  
sents the worst case scenario for an ADC. In this case, a high  
speed, high performance amplifier (AD8047) was used as the  
buffer op amp. Although not shown, the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
exhibits a slight increase in SNR (i.e. 1 dB to 1.5 dB) as the  
resistance is increased from 0 kto 2.56 kdue to its bandlimiting  
effect on wideband noise. Conversely, it exhibits slight decrease  
in SNR (i.e., 0.5 dB to 2 dB) if VINA and VINB do not have a  
matched input resistance.  
The resistive component to the input impedance can be com-  
puted by calculating the average charge that gets drawn by CH  
from the input drive source. It can be shown that if CS is allowed  
to fully charge up to the input voltage before switches QS1 are  
opened, then the average current into the input is the same as if  
there were a resistor of 1/(CS fS) ohms connected between the  
inputs. This means that the input impedance is inversely pro-  
portional to the converter’s sample rate. Since CS is only 4 pF,  
this resistive component is typically much larger than that of the  
drive source (i.e., 25 kat fS = 10 MSPS).  
–45  
If one considers the SHA’s input impedance over a sampling  
period, it appears as a dynamic input impedance to the input  
drive source. When the SHA goes into the track mode, the input  
source should ideally provide the charging current through RON  
of switch QS1 in an exponential manner. The requirement of  
exponential charging means that the most common input source,  
an op amp, must exhibit a source impedance that is both low  
and resistive up to and beyond the sampling frequency.

The output impedance of an op amp can be modeled with a  
series inductor and resistor. When a capacitive load is switched  
onto the output of the op amp, the output will momentarily  
drop due to its effective output impedance. As the output recov-  
ers, ringing may occur. To remedy the situation, a series resistor  
can be inserted between the op amp and the SHA input as shown  
in Figure 7. The series resistance helps isolate the op amp from  
the switched-capacitor load.

Lower values of RSERIES are acceptable for the AD9223 and  
AD9221 as their lower sampling rates provide a longer transient  
recovery period for the AD8047. Note that op amps with lower  
bandwidths will typically have a longer transient recovery period  
and therefore require a slightly higher value of RSERIES and/or  
lower sampling rate to achieve the optimum THD performance.

As the value of RSERIES increases, a corresponding increase in  
distortion is noted. This is due to its interaction with the SHA’s  
parasitic capacitor, CPAR, which has a signal dependency. Thus,  
the resulting R-C time constant is signal dependent and conse-  
quently a source of distortion.

The noise or small-signal bandwidth of the AD9221/AD9223/

The optimum size of this resistor is dependent on several factors,  
which include the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 sampling rate, the

shunt capacitor can help limit the wideband noise at the A/D’s  
input by forming a low-pass filter. Note, however, that the  
combination of this series resistance with the equivalent input  
capacitance of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 should be evalu-  
ated for those time-domain applications that are sensitive to the  
input signal’s absolute settling time. In applications where har-  
monic distortion is not a primary concern, the series resistance

A better method of reducing the noise bandwidth, while possi-  
bly establishing a real pole for an antialiasing filter, is to add  
some additional shunt capacitance between the input (i.e., VINA  
and/or VINB) and analog ground. Since this additional shunt  
capacitance combines with the equivalent input capacitance of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220, a lower series resistance can  
be selected to establish the filter’s cutoff frequency while not  
degrading the distortion performance of the device. The shunt  
capacitance also acts like a charge reservoir, sinking or sourcing  
the additional charge required by the hold capacitor, CH, further  
reducing current transients seen at the op amp’s output.

The effect of this increased capacitive load on the op amp driv-  
ing the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 should be evaluated. To  
optimize performance when noise is the primary consideration,  
increase the shunt capacitance as much as the transient response  
of the input signal will allow. Increasing the capacitance too  
much may adversely affect the op amp’s settling time, frequency  
response, and distortion performance.  
Figure 9. Equivalent Reference Circuit  
The actual reference voltages used by the internal circuitry of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 appear on the CAPT and CAPB  
pins. For proper operation when using the internal or an external  
reference, it is necessary to add a capacitor network to decouple  
these pins. Figure 10 shows the recommended decoupling net-  
work. This capacitive network performs the following three  
functions: (1) along with the reference amplifier, A2, it provides  
a low source impedance over a large frequency range to drive  
the A/D internal circuitry, (2) it provides the necessary compen-  
sation for A2, and (3) it band-limits the noise contribution from  
the reference. The turn-on time of the reference voltage appear-  
ing between CAPT and CAPB is approximately 15 ms and  
should be evaluated in any power-down mode of operation.  
REFERENCE OPERATION  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 contain an on-board band gap  
reference that provides a pin-strappable option to generate  
either a 1 V or 2.5 V output. With the addition of two external  
resistors, the user can generate reference voltages other than 1 V  
and 2.5 V. Another alternative is to use an external reference for  
designs requiring enhanced accuracy and/or drift performance.  
See Table II for a summary of the pin-strapping options for the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 reference configurations.

Figure 9 shows a simplified model of the internal voltage reference  
of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. A pin-strappable reference  
amplifier buffers a 1 V fixed reference. The output from the  
reference amplifier, A1, appears on the VREF pin. The voltage  
on the VREF pin determines the full-scale input span of the  
A/D. This input span equals,

The A/D’s input span may be varied dynamically by changing  
the differential reference voltage appearing across CAPT and  
CAPB symmetrically around 2.5 V (i.e., midsupply). To change  
the reference at speeds beyond the capabilities of A2, it will be  
necessary to drive CAPT and CAPB with two high speed, low  
noise amplifiers. In this case, both internal amplifiers (i.e., A1  
and A2) must be disabled by connecting SENSE to AVDD and  
VREF to REFCOM, and the capacitive decoupling network  
removed. The external voltages applied to CAPT and CAPB  
must be 2.5 V + Input Span/4 and 2.5 V – Input Span/4, respec-  
tively, in which the input span can be varied between 2 V and  
5 V. Note that those samples within the pipeline A/D during  
any reference transition will be corrupted and should be  
discarded.  
The voltage appearing at the VREF pin as well as the state of  
the internal reference amplifier, A1, are determined by the volt-  
age appearing at the SENSE pin. The logic circuitry contains  
two comparators that monitor the voltage at the SENSE pin.  
The comparator with the lowest set point (approximately 0.3 V)  
controls the position of the switch within the feedback path  
of A1. If the SENSE pin is tied to REFCOM, the switch is  
connected to the internal resistor network, thus providing a  
VREF of 2.5 V. If the SENSE pin is tied to the VREF pin via a  
short or resistor, the switch is connected to the SENSE pin. A  
short will provide a VREF of 1.0 V while an external resistor  
network will provide an alternative VREF between 1.0 V and  
2.5 V. The other comparator controls internal circuitry that will

DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS  
Introduction  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 offers the following benefits: (1)  
Signal swings are smaller and therefore linearity requirements  
placed on the input signal source may be easier to achieve, (2)  
Signal swings are smaller and therefore may allow the use of op  
amps that may otherwise have been constrained by headroom  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 has a highly flexible input  
structure, allowing it to interface with single-ended or differen-  
tial input interface circuitry. The applications shown in sections  
Driving the Analog Inputs and Reference Configurations, along  
with the information presented in Input and Reference Over-  
view of this data sheet, give examples of both single-ended and  
differential operation. Refer to Tables I and II for a list of the  
different possible input and reference configurations and their  
associated figures in the data sheet.

The optimum mode of operation, analog input range, and asso-  
ciated interface circuitry will be determined by the particular  
application’s performance requirements as well as power supply  
options. For example, a dc coupled single-ended input would be  
appropriate for most data acquisition and imaging applications.  
Also, many communication applications that require a dc coupled  
input for proper demodulation can take advantage of the excel-  
lent single-ended distortion performance of the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220. The input span should be configured such that the  
system’s performance objectives and the headroom requirements  
of the driving op amp are simultaneously met.

Alternatively, the differential mode of operation with a transformer  
coupled input provides the best THD and SFDR performance  
over a wide frequency range. This mode of operation should be  
considered for the most demanding spectral based applications  
that allow ac coupling (e.g., Direct IF to Digital Conversion).  
limitations, (3) Differential operation minimizes even-order  
harmonic products, and (4) Differential operation offers noise  
immunity based on the device’s common-mode rejection.  
Figure 11 depicts the common-mode rejection of the three devices.  
Single-ended operation requires that VINA be ac- or dc-coupled  
to the input signal source while VINB of the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 can be biased to the appropriate voltage corresponding  
to a midscale code transition. Note that signal inversion may be  
easily accomplished by transposing VINA and VINB. The rated  
specifications for the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 are character-  
ized using single-ended circuitry with input spans of 5 V and  
2 V as well as VINB = 2.5 V.  
As is typical of most CMOS devices, exceeding the supply limits  
will turn on internal parasitic diodes, resulting in transient cur-  
rents within the device. Figure 12 shows a simple means of  
clamping an ac- or dc-coupled single-ended input with the  
addition of two series resistors and two diodes. An optional capaci-  
tor is shown for ac-coupled applications. Note that a larger  
series resistor could be used to limit the fault current through  
D1 and D2 but should be evaluated since it can cause a degrada-  
tion in overall performance. A similar clamping circuit could also  
be used for each input if a differential input signal is being applied.  
Differential operation requires that VINA and VINB be simulta-  
neously driven with two equal signals that are in and out of  
phase versions of the input signal. Differential operation of the

In the simplest case, the input signal to the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 will already be biased at levels in accordance with the  
selected input range. It is simply necessary to provide an  
adequately low source impedance for the VINA and VINB  
analog input pins of the A/D. Figure 13 shows the recommended  
configuration for a single-ended drive using an op amp. In this  
case, the op amp is shown in a noninverting unity gain configu-  
ration driving the VINA pin. The internal reference drives the  
VINB pin. Note that the addition of a small series resistor of  
30 to 50 connected to VINA and VINB will be beneficial  
in nearly all cases. Refer to the Analog Input Operation section  
for a discussion on resistor selection. Figure 13 shows the  
proper connection for a 0 V to 5 V input range. Alternative  
single-ended input ranges of 0 V to 2 × VREF can also be real-  
ized with the proper configuration of VREF (refer to the Using  
the Internal Reference section).

SINGLE-ENDED MODE OF OPERATION  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 can be configured for single-  
ended operation using dc or ac coupling. In either case, the  
input of the A/D must be driven from an operational amplifier  
that will not degrade the A/D’s performance. Because the A/D  
operates from a single-supply, it will be necessary to level-shift  
ground-based bipolar signals to comply with its input require-  
ments. Both dc and ac coupling provide this necessary function,  
but each method results in different interface issues that may  
influence the system design and performance.  
DC COUPLING AND INTERFACE ISSUES

Many applications require the analog input signal to be dc-  
coupled to the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. An operational  
amplifier can be configured to rescale and level shift the input  
signal so that it is compatible with the selected input range of  
the A/D. The input range to the A/D should be selected on the  
basis of system performance objectives as well as the analog  
power supply availability since this will place certain constraints  
on the op amp selection.

Op Amp Drive Circuit  
Many of the new high performance op amps are specified for  
only 5 V operation and have limited input/output swing capa-  
bilities. Therefore, the selected input range of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 should be sensitive to the headroom require-  
ments of the particular op amp to prevent clipping of the signal.  
Also, since the output of a dual supply amplifier can swing  
below –0.3 V, clamping its output should be considered in some  
applications.  
Op Amp with DC Level Shifting  
Figure 14 shows a dc-coupled level shifting circuit employing an  
op amp, A1, to sum the input signal with the desired dc offset.  
Configuring the op amp in the inverting mode with the given  
resistor values results in an ac signal gain of –1. If the signal  
inversion is undesirable, interchange the VINA and VINB con-  
nections to re-establish the original signal polarity. The dc voltage  
at VREF sets the common-mode voltage of the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220. For example, when VREF = 2.5 V, the output level  
from the op amp will also be centered around 2.5 V. The use of  
ratio matched, thin-film resistor networks will minimize gain  
and offset errors. Also, an optional pull-up resistor, RP, may be  
used to reduce the output load on VREF to 1 mA.  
In some applications, it may be advantageous to use an op  
amp specified for single-supply 5 V operation since it will  
inherently limit its output swing to within the power supply  
rails. An amplifier like the AD8041, AD8011, and AD817 are  
useful for this purpose. Rail-to-rail output amplifiers such as  
the AD8041 allow the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 to be con-  
figured for larger input spans, which improves the noise  
performance.

If the application requires the largest input span (i.e., 0 V to  
5 V) of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220, the op amp will require  
larger supplies to drive it. Various high speed amplifiers in the  
Op Amp Selection Guide of this data sheet can be selected to  
accommodate a wide range of supply options. Once again,  
clamping the output of the amplifier should be considered for  
these applications.

in parallel to achieve a low cutoff frequency while maintaining a  
low impedance over a wide frequency range. RS isolates the  
buffer amplifier from the A/D input. The optimum performance  
is achieved when VINA and VINB are driven via «Immetrical  
networks. The f–3 dB point can be approximated by the equation,  
For applications where ac coupling is appropriate, the op amp’s  
output can be easily level shifted to the common-mode voltage,  
VCM, of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 via a coupling capacitor.  
This has the advantage of allowing the op amp’s common-mode  
level to be symmetrically biased to its midsupply level (i.e.,  
(VCC + VEE)/2). Op amps that operate symmetrically with respect  
to their power supplies typically provide the best ac performance  
as well as the greatest input/output span. Thus, various high  
speed/performance amplifiers that are restricted to +5 V/–5 V  
operation and/or specified for 5 V single-supply operation can be  
easily configured for the 5 V or 2 V input span of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. The best ac distortion performance is achieved  
when the A/D is configured for a 2 V input span and common-  
mode voltage of 2.5 V. Note that differential transformer coupling,  
which is another form of ac coupling, should be considered for  
optimum ac performance.

enced input signal to approximately VREF. The value for C1  
and C2 will depend on the size of the resistor, R. The capacitors,  
C1 and C2, are typically a 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF tanta-  
lum capacitor in parallel to achieve a low cutoff frequency  
while maintaining a low impedance over a wide frequency  
range. The combination of the capacitor and the resistor form a

Op Amp Selection Guide  
Op amp selection for the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is highly  
dependent on a particular application. In general, the performance  
requirements of any given application can be characterized by  
either time domain or frequency domain parameters. In either  
case, one should carefully select an op amp that preserves the  
performance of the A/D. This task becomes challenging when  
one considers the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220’s high perfor-  
mance capabilities coupled with other extraneous system level  
requirements such as power consumption and cost.

The low impedance VREF voltage source both biases the VINB  
input and provides the bias voltage for the VINA input. Figure 15  
shows the VREF configured for 2.5 V; thus the input range  
The ability to select the optimal op amp may be further compli-  
cated by either limited power supply availability and/or limited  
acceptable supplies for a desired op amp. Newer, high perfor-  
mance op amps typically have input and output range limitations  
in accordance with their lower supply voltages. As a result, some  
op amps will be more appropriate in systems where ac-coupling  
is allowable. When dc-coupling is required, op amps without  
headroom constraints, such as rail-to-rail op amps or ones  
where larger supplies can be used, should be considered. The  
following section describes some op amps currently available  
from Analog Devices. The system designer is always encouraged  
to contact the factory or local sales office to be updated on Analog  
Devices’ latest amplifier product offerings. Highlights of the  
areas where the op amps excel and where they may limit the

have a high value (e.g., 5 k) to minimize power consumption  
and establish a low cutoff frequency. The capacitors, C1 and  
C2, are typically 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF tantalum capacitors

Note that although a single-ended-to-differential op amp topol-  
ogy would allow dc coupling of the input signal, no significant  
improvement in THD performance was realized when compared  
to the dc single-ended mode of operation up to the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220’s Nyquist frequency (i.e., fIN < fS/2). Also,  
the additional op amp required in the topology tends to increase  
the total system noise, power consumption, and cost. Thus, a  
single-ended mode of operation is recommended for most appli-  
cations requiring dc coupling.

A dramatic improvement in THD and SFDR performance can  
be realized by operating the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 in the  
differential mode using a transformer. Figure 17 shows a plot of  
THD versus Input Frequency for the differential transformer  
coupled circuit for each A/D while Figure 18 shows a plot of  
SFDR versus Input Frequency. Both figures demonstrate the  
enhancement in spectral performance for the differential-mode  
of operation. The performance enhancement between the differen-  
tial and single-ended mode is most noteworthy as the input  
frequency approaches and goes beyond the Nyquist frequency  
(i.e., fIN > fS/2) corresponding to the particular A/D.

select the A/D that meets or exceeds the distortion performance  
requirements measured over the required frequency passband.  
For example, the AD9220 achieves the best distortion perfor-  
mance over an extended frequency range as a result of its greater  
full-power bandwidth and thus would represent the best selec-  
tion for an IF undersampling application at 21.4 MHz. Refer to

DIFFERENTIAL MODE OF OPERATION  
AD9220  
Since not all applications have a signal preconditioned for  
differential operation, there is often a need to perform a  
single-ended-to-differential conversion. In systems that do not  
need to be dc-coupled, an RF transformer with a center tap is  
the best method to generate differential inputs for the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. It provides all the benefits of operating the  
A/D in the differential mode without contributing additional  
noise or distortion. An RF transformer also has the added ben-  
efit of providing electrical isolation between the signal source  
and the A/D.

Figure 19 shows the schematic of the suggested transformer  
circuit. The circuit uses a Mini-Circuits RF transformer, model  
#T4-6T, which has an impedance ratio of 4 (turns ratio of 2).  
The schematic assumes that the signal source has a 50 source  
impedance. The 1:4 impedance ratio requires the 200 sec-  
ondary termination for optimum power transfer and VSWR.  
The center tap of the transformer provides a convenient means  
of level shifting the input signal to a desired common-mode  
voltage. Optimum performance can be realized when the center  
tap is tied to CML of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220, which is  
the common-mode bias level of the internal SHA.

Figure 20 also reveals a noteworthy difference in the SFDR and  
SNR performance of the AD9220 between the 2 V p-p and 5 V p-p  
input span options. First, the SNR performance improves by 2 dB  
with a 5.0 V p-p input span due to the increase in dynamic  
range. Second, the SFDR performance of the AD9220 will  
improve for input signals below approximately –6.0 dBFS. A 3 dB  
to 5 dB improvement was typically realized for input signal levels  
between –6.0 dBFS and –36 dBFS. This improvement in SNR  
and SFDR for a 5.0 V p-p span may be advantageous for com-  
munication systems that have additional margin or headroom  
to minimize clipping of the ADC.

Transformers with other turns ratios may also be selected to  
optimize the performance of a given application. For example, a  
given input signal source or amplifier may realize an improve-  
ment in distortion performance at reduced output power levels  
and signal swings. Therefore, selecting a transformer with a  
higher impedance ratio (e.g., Mini-Circuits T16-6T with a 1:16  
impedance ratio) effectively “steps up” the signal level, thus  
further reducing the driving requirements of the signal source.  
USING THE INTERNAL REFERENCE  
Single-Ended Input with 0 to 2 VREF Range  
Figure 21 shows how to connect the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
for a 0 V to 2 V or 0 V to 5 V input range via pin strapping the  
SENSE pin. An intermediate input range of 0 to 2 × VREF can  
be established using the resistor programmable configuration in  
Figure 23 and connecting VREF to VINB.  
Referring to Figure 19, a series resistor, RS, and shunt capacitor,  
CS, were inserted between the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 and  
the secondary of the transformer. The values of 33 and 15 pF  
were selected to specifically optimize both the THD and SNR  
performance of the A/D. RS and CS help provide some isola-  
tion from transients at the A/D inputs reflected back through the  
primary of the transformer.  
In either case, both the common-mode voltage and input span  
are directly dependent on the value of VREF. More specifically,  
the common-mode voltage is equal to VREF while the input  
span is equal to 2 × VREF. Thus, the valid input range extends  
from 0 to 2 × VREF. When VINA is 0 V, the digital output  
will be 000 Hex; when VINA is 2 × VREF, the digital output  
will be FFF Hex.  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 can be easily configured for  
either a 2 V p-p input span or 5.0 V p-p input span by setting  
the internal reference (see Table II). Other input spans can be  
realized with two external gain setting resistors as shown in  
–18–  
REV. E  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
Shorting the VREF pin directly to the SENSE pin places the  
internal reference amplifier in unity-gain mode and the resultant  
VREF output is 1 V. Therefore, the valid input range is 0 V to 2 V.  
However, shorting the SENSE pin directly to the REFCOM pin  
configures the internal reference amplifier for a gain of 2.5 and  
the resultant VREF output is 2.5 V. Thus, the valid input range  
becomes 0 V to 5 V. The VREF pin should be bypassed to the  
REFCOM pin with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a  
low inductance 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.  
Resistor Programmable Reference  
Figure 23 shows an example of how to generate a reference  
voltage other than 1 V or 2.5 V with the addition of two external  
resistors and a bypass capacitor. Use the equation,  
VREF = 1V × 1+ R1/ R2  
(
)
to determine appropriate values for R1 and R2. These resistors  
should be in the 2 kto 100 krange. For the example shown,  
R1 equals 2.5 kand R2 equals 5 k. From the equation above,  
the resultant reference voltage on the VREF pin is 1.5 V. This  
sets the input span to be 3 V p-p. To assure stability, place a  
0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with R1.

The common-mode voltage can be set to VREF by connecting

Alternatively, the common-mode voltage can be set to VREF by  
connecting VINB to a low impedance 2.5 V source. For the  
example shown, the valid input single range for VINA is 1 V to  
4 V since VINB is set to an external, low impedance 2.5 V source.  
The VREF pin should be bypassed to the REFCOM pin with a  
10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a low inductance  
0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.

Figure 22 shows the single-ended configuration that gives the best  
dynamic performance (SINAD, SFDR). To optimize dynamic  
specifications, center the common-mode voltage of the analog  
input at approximately by 2.5 V by connecting VINB to a low  
impedance 2.5 V source. As described above, shorting the VREF  
pin directly to the SENSE pin results in a 1 V reference voltage  
and a 2 V p-p input span. The valid range for input signals is 1.5 V  
to 3.5 V. The VREF pin should be bypassed to the REFCOM  
pin with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a low induc-  
tance 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.

This reference configuration could also be used for a differential  
input in which VINA and VINB are driven via a transformer as  
shown in Figure 19. In this case, the common-mode voltage,  
VCM, is set at midsupply by connecting the transformer’s center  
tap to CML of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. VREF can be  
configured for 1 V or 2.5 V by connecting SENSE to either VREF  
or REFCOM respectively. Note that the valid input range for  
each of the differential inputs is one-half of single-ended input  
and thus becomes VCM – VREF/2 to VCM + VREF/2.  
USING AN EXTERNAL REFERENCE  
Using an external reference may enhance the dc performance of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 by improving drift and accuracy.  
Figures 24 through 26 show examples of how to use an external  
reference with the A/D. Table III is a list of suitable voltage  
references from Analog Devices. To use an external reference,  
the user must disable the internal reference amplifier and drive  
the VREF pin. Connecting the SENSE pin to AVDD disables  
the internal reference amplifier.

The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 contains an internal reference  
buffer, A2 (see Figure 9), that simplifies the drive requirements  
of an external reference. The external reference must be able to  
drive a 5 k( 20%) load. Note that the bandwidth of the  
reference buffer is deliberately left small to minimize the refer-  
ence noise contribution. As a result, it is not possible to change  
the reference voltage rapidly in this mode without the removal  
of the CAPT/CAPB Decoupling Network.

Single-Ended Input with 0 to 2 VREF Range  
Figure 25 shows an example of an external reference driving  
both VINB and VREF. In this case, both the common-mode  
voltage and input span are directly dependent on the value of  
VREF. More specifically, the common-mode voltage is equal to  
VREF while the input span is equal to 2 × VREF. Thus, the  
valid input range extends from 0 to 2 × VREF. For example, if  
the REF-191, a 2.048 external reference was selected, the valid  
input range extends from 0 to 4.096 V. In this case, 1 LSB of  
the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 corresponds to 1 mV. It is essen-  
tial that a minimum of a 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF  
low inductance ceramic capacitor decouple the reference output  
to ground.

An out-of-range condition exists when the analog input voltage  
is beyond the input range of the converter. OTR is a digital  
output that is updated along with the data output corresponding  
to the particular sampled analog input voltage. Thus, OTR has  
the same pipeline delay (latency) as the digital data. It is LOW  
when the analog input voltage is within the analog input range.  
It is HIGH when the analog input voltage exceeds the input  
range as shown in Figure 27. OTR will remain HIGH until the  
analog input returns within the input range and another conver-  
sion is completed. By logical ANDing OTR with the MSB and

circuit in Figure 28, which uses NAND gates. Systems requiring  
programmable gain conditioning of the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 input signal can immediately detect an out-of-range  
condition, thus eliminating gain selection iterations. Also, OTR  
can be used for digital offset and gain calibration.  
In the equation, the rms aperture jitter, tA, represents the root-  
sum square of all the jitter sources, which include the clock  
input, analog input signal, and A/D aperture jitter specification.  
For example, if a 5 MHz full-scale sine wave is sampled by an  
A/D with a total rms jitter of 15 ps, the SNR performance of the  
A/D will be limited to 66.5 dB. Undersampling applications are  
particularly sensitive to jitter.  
Table V. Out-of-Range Truth Table  
The clock input should be treated as an analog signal in cases  
where aperture jitter may affect the dynamic range of the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. As such, supplies for clock drivers should be  
separated from the A/D output driver supplies to avoid modulating  
the clock signal with digital noise. Low jitter crystal controlled  
oscillators make the best clock sources. If the clock is generated  
from another type of source (by gating, dividing, or other method),  
it should be retimed by the original clock at the last step.

Digital Output Driver Considerations (DVDD)  
The AD9221, AD9223 and AD9220 output drivers can be  
configured to interface with 5 V or 3.3 V logic families by setting  
DVDD to 5 V or 3.3 V respectively. The AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220 output drivers are sized to provide sufficient output  
current to drive a wide variety of logic families. However, large  
drive currents tend to cause glitches on the supplies and may  
affect SINAD performance. Applications requiring the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 to drive large capacitive loads or large fanout  
may require additional decoupling capacitors on DVDD. In  
extreme cases, external buffers or latches may be required.

Clock Input and Considerations  
CLOCK FREQUENCY – MHz  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 internal timing uses the two  
edges of the clock input to generate a variety of internal timing  
signals. The clock input must meet or exceed the minimum  
specified pulsewidth high and low (tCH and tCL) specifications  
for the given A/D as defined in the Switching Specifications to  
meet the rated performance specifications. For example, the  
clock input to the AD9220 operating at 10 MSPS may have a  
duty cycle between 45% to 55% to meet this timing requirement  
since the minimum specified tCH and tCL is 45 ns. For clock  
rates below 10 MSPS, the duty cycle may deviate from this  
range to the extent that both tCH and tCL are satisfied.

All high speed high resolution A/Ds are sensitive to the quality  
of the clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given full-scale  
input frequency (fIN) due to only aperture jitter (tA) can be  
calculated with the following equation:

AVDD and AVSS pins are co-located on the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220 to simplify the layout of the decoupling

lengths. The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220/EB power plane  
layout, shown in Figure 40 depicts a typical arrangement  
using a multilayer PCB.

Figure 30. Analog Supply Decoupling  
The CML is an internal analog bias point used internally by the  
AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. This pin must be decoupled with at  
least a 0.1 µF capacitor as shown in Figure 31. The dc level of  
CML is approximately AVDD/2. This voltage should be buff-  
ered if it is to be used for any external biasing.  
GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING  
Analog and Digital Grounding  
Proper grounding is essential in any high speed, high resolution  
system. Multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) are recom-  
mended to provide optimal grounding and power schemes. The  
use of ground and power planes offers distinct advantages:

2. The minimization of the impedance associated with ground  
and power paths.  
3. The inherent distributed capacitor formed by the power  
plane, PCB insulation, and ground plane.  
Figure 31. CML Decoupling  
The digital activity on the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 chip falls  
into two general categories: correction logic and output drivers.  
The internal correction logic draws relatively small surges of  
current, mainly during the clock transitions. The output drivers  
draw large current impulses while the output bits are changing.  
The size and duration of these currents are a function of the  
load on the output bits: large capacitive loads are to be avoided.  
Note, the internal correction logic of the AD9221, AD9223,  
and AD9220 is referenced to AVDD while the output drivers  
are referenced to DVDD.  
These characteristics result in both a reduction of electro-  
magnetic interference (EMI) and an overall improvement in  
performance.  
It is important to design a layout that prevents noise from cou-  
pling onto the input signal. Digital signals should not be run in  
parallel with input signal traces and should be routed away from  
the input circuitry. While the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 features  
separate analog and digital ground pins, it should be treated as  
an analog component. The AVSS and DVSS pins must be joined  
together directly under the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. A solid  
ground plane under the A/D is acceptable if the power and  
ground return currents are managed carefully. Alternatively,  
the ground plane under the A/D may contain serrations to steer  
currents in predictable directions where cross-coupling between  
analog and digital would otherwise be unavoidable. The AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220/EB ground layout, shown in Figure 39, depicts  
the serrated type of arrangement. The analog and digital grounds  
are connected by a jumper below the A/D.  
The decoupling shown in Figure 32, a 0.1 µF ceramic chip  
capacitor, is appropriate for a reasonable capacitive load on  
the digital outputs (typically 20 pF on each pin). Applications  
involving greater digital loads should consider increasing the  
digital decoupling proportionally, and/or using external buff-  
ers/latches.

Analog and Digital Supply Decoupling  
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 features separate analog and  
digital supply and ground pins, helping to minimize digital  
corruption of sensitive analog signals. In general, AVDD, the  
analog supply, should be decoupled to AVSS, the analog  
common, as close to the chip as physically possible. Figure 30  
shows the recommended decoupling for the analog supplies;  
0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitors should provide adequately low  
Figure 32. Digital Supply Decoupling  
A complete decoupling scheme will also include large tantalum  
or electrolytic capacitors on the PCB to reduce low frequency  
ripple to negligible levels. Refer to the AD9221/AD9223/  
AD9220/EB schematic and layouts in Figures 36 to 42 for more  
information regarding the placement of decoupling capacitors.

APPLICATIONS  
Direct IF Down Conversion Using the AD9220  
As previously noted, the AD9220’s performance in the differen-  
tial mode of operation extends well beyond its baseband region  
and into several Nyquist zone regions. Thus, the AD9220 may  
be well suited as a mix down converter in both narrow and  
wideband applications. Various IF frequencies exist over the  
frequency range in which the AD9220 maintains excellent  
dynamic performance (e.g., refer to Figure 17 and 18). The IF  
signal will be aliased to the ADC’s baseband region due to the  
sampling process in a similar manner that a mixer will down-  
convert an IF signal. For signals in various Nyquist zones, the  
following equation may be used to determine the final frequency  
after aliasing.

f5 NYQUIST = abs (2 × fSAMPLE – fSIGNAL  
)
The AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is well suited for high perfor-  
mance, low power data acquisition systems. Aside from its  
exceptional ac performance, it exhibits true 12-bit linearity and  
temperature drift performance (i.e., excluding internal refer-  
ence). Furthermore, the A/D product family provides the system  
designer with an upward or downward component selection  
path based on power consumption and sampling rate.  
There are several potential benefits in using the ADC to alias  
(i.e., or mix) down a narrow-band or wideband IF signal. First  
and foremost is the elimination of a complete mixer stage with  
its associated amplifiers and filters, reducing cost and power  
dissipation. Second is the ability to apply various DSP tech-  
niques to perform such functions as filtering, channel selection,  
quadrature demodulation, data reduction, and detection.  
A typical multichannel data acquisition system is shown in  
Figure 35. Also shown is some additional inexpensive gain and  
offset autocalibration circuitry that is often required in high  
accuracy data acquisition systems. These additional peripheral  
components were selected based on their performance, power  
consumption, and cost.  
One common example is the digitization of a 21.4 MHz IF  
using a low jitter 10 MHz sample clock. Using the equation  
above for the fifth Nyquist zone, the resultant frequency after  
sampling is 1.4 MHz. Figure 33 shows the typical performance  
of the AD9220 operating under these conditions. Figure 34  
demonstrates how the AD9220 is still able to maintain a high  
degree of linearity and SFDR over a wide amplitude.  
Referring to Figure 35, the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 is config-  
ured for single-ended operation with a 2.5 V p-p input span and  
a 2.5 V common-mode voltage using an external, precision 2.5  
voltage reference, U1. This configuration and input span allows  
the buffer amplifier, U4, to be single supply. Also, it simplifies  
the design of the low temperature drift autocalibration circuitry  
that uses thin-film resistors for temperature stability and ratio-  
metric accuracy. The input of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
can be easily configured for a wider span but it should remain  
within the input/output swing capabilities of a high speed, rail-  
to-rail, single-supply amplifier, U4 (e.g., AD8041).

The gain and offset calibration circuitry is based on two 8-bit,  
current-output DAC08s, U3 and U5. The gain calibration  
circuitry consisting of U3, and an op amp, U2A, is configured  
to provide a low drift nominal 1.25 V reference to the AD9221/  
AD9223/AD9220. The resistor values that set the gain calibra-  
tion range were selected to provide a nominal adjustment span  
of 128 LSBs with 1 LSB resolution with respect to the A/D. Note  
that the bandwidth of the reference is low and, as a result, it is  
not possible to change the reference voltage rapidly in this mode.

AD9221/AD9223/AD9220  
The offset calibration circuitry consists of a DAC, U5 and  
the buffer amplifier, U4. The DAC is configured for a bipolar  
adjustment span of 64 LSB with a 1/2 LSB resolution span  
with respect to the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. Note that both  
current outputs of U5 were configured to provide a bipolar  
adjustment span. Also, RC is used to decouple the output of  
both DACs, U3 and U5, from their respective op amps.  
input that corresponds to –FS of the A/D. Before the value is  
read, U4 should be preloaded with a code of 00 (Hex). Several  
readings can also be taken and averaged to determine the digital  
gain adjustment code to U2A. In this case, 1 LSB of the A/D  
corresponds to 1 LSB of U4.  
Due to the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220’s excellent INL perfor-  
mance, a two-point calibration procedure (i.e., –FS to midscale)  
instead of an endpoint calibration procedure was chosen. Also,  
since the bipolar offset is insensitive to any gain adjustment (due  
to the differential SHA of the A/D), an iterative calibration  
process is not required. The temperature stability of the circuit  
is enhanced by selecting a dual precision op amp for U2 (e.g.,  
OP293) and low temperature drift, thin film resistors. Note that  
this application circuit was not built at the release of this data  
sheet. Please consult Analog Devices for application assistance  
or comments.  
The calibration procedure consists of a two step process. First,  
the bipolar offset is calibrated by selecting CH2, the 2.5 V sys-  
tem reference, of the analog multiplexer and preloading the DAC,  
U5, with a midscale code of 1000 0000. If possible, several  
readings of the A/D should be taken and averaged to determine  
the required digital offset adjustment code, U5. This averaged  
offset code requires an extra bit of resolution since 1 LSB of U5  
equates to 1/2 LSB of the AD9221/AD9223/AD9220. The  
required offset correction code to U5 can then be determined.  
Second, the system gain is calibrated by selecting CH2, a 1.25 V
