Each pin is internally terminated to a DC bias with a  
50-Ω resistor for a 100-Ω total internal differential  
termination. AC coupling is required for coupling the  
clock input to these pins if the clock driver cannot meet  
the common-mode requirements. Sampling occurs on  
the rising edge of the differential signal (CLKIN+) −  
(CLKIN–).

the SDO pin. When this signal is de-asserted, the SDO  
pin is high impedance and the input data is ignored.  
Active low. A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to the VA1.8 supply  
is recommended to prevent undesired activation of the  
SPI bus. Compatible with 1.2- to 3.0-V CMOS logic  
levels.

DC coupling is required for coupling the SYNCb signal  
to these pins. Each pin is internally terminated to the  
DC bias with a large resistor. An internal 100-Ω  
differential termination is provided therefore an external  
termination is not required. Additional resistive  
components in the input structure give the SYNCb  
input a wide input common-mode range. The SYNCb  
signal is active low and therefore asserted when the  
voltage at SYNCb+ is less than at SYNCb–.

These pins must be bypassed to AGND with low  
equivalent series inductance (ESL) 0.1-μF capacitors.  
One capacitor should be placed as close to the pin as  
possible and additional capacitors placed at the bias  
load points. 10-μF capacitors should also be placed in  
parallel. TI recommends to use VCMA and VCMB to  
provide the common mode voltage for the differential  
analog inputs. The input common mode bias is  
provided internally for the ADC input; therefore,  
external use of VCMA and VCMB is recommended, but  
not strictly required. The recommended bypass  
capacitors are always required.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings  
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating  
Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.  
(2) When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the VA3.0 power supply (that is VIN > VA3.0 or VIN < AGND) the current at that pin should be  
limited to ±5 mA. The ±50-mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power  
supplies with an input current of ±5 mA to 10 pins.  
(3) Prolonged use at this temperature may increase the device failure-in-time (FIT) rate.

8 Detailed Description  
8.1 Overview  
The ADC16DX370 device is a dual analog-to-digital converter (ADC) composed of pipelined stages followed by a  
back-end JESD204B interface. Each ADC core is preceded by an input buffer and imbalance correction circuit at  
the analog input and is provided with the necessary reference voltages with internal drivers that require no  
external components. The analog input common-mode is also internally regulated.  
Over-range signals are externally available on pins to monitor the signal path. A DC offset correction block is  
disabled by default, but may also be enabled at the ADC core output to remove DC offset. Processed data is  
passed into the JESD204B interface where the data is framed, encoded, serialized, and output on one or two  
lanes per channel. Data is serially transmitted by configurable high-speed voltage mode drivers.  
The sampling clock is derived from the CLKIN input via a low-noise receiver and clock divider. Coarse delay  
adjustment blocks in the clock signal path control the phase of the sampling instant. The CLKIN, SYSREF, and  
SYNCb inputs provide the device clock, sysref, and sync~ signals to the JESD204B interface, which are used to  
derive the internal local frame and local multi-frame clocks and establish the serial link.  
Features of the ADC16DX370 device are configurable through the 4-wire SPI.

8.3 Feature Description  
8.3.1 Amplitude and Phase Imbalance Correction of Differential Analog Input  
The ADC performance can be sensitive to amplitude and phase imbalance of the input differential signal and  
therefore integrates a front-end balance correction circuit to optimize the second-order distortion (HD2)  
performance of the ADC in the presence of an imbalanced input signal. 4-bit control of the phase mismatch and  
3-bit control of the amplitude mismatch corrects the input mismatch before the input buffer. A simplified diagram  
of the amplitude and phase correction circuit at the ADC input is shown in Figure 30.

Figure 30. Simplified Input Differential Balance Correction Circuit  
Amplitude correction is achieved by varying the single-ended termination resistance of each input while  
maintaining constant total differential resistance, thereby adjusting the amplitude at each input but leaving the  
differential swing constant. Phase correction, also considered capacitive balance correction, varies the capacitive  
load at the ADC input, thereby correcting a phase imbalance by creating a bandwidth difference between the  
analog inputs that minimally affects amplitude. This function is useful for correcting the balance of transformers  
or filters that drive the ADC analog inputs. Figure 31 shows the measured HD2 resulting from an example 250-  
MHz imbalanced signal input into the ADC16DX370 device recorded over the available amplitude and phase  
correction settings, demonstrating the optimization of HD2. Performance parameters in the Converter  
Performance Characteristics are characterized with the amplitude and phase correction settings in the default  
condition.

Feature Description (continued)  
8.3.2 DC Offset Correction  
DC offset correction is provided using a digital high-pass IIR filter at the immediate output of the ADC core. The  
DC offset correction is bypassed by default, but may be enabled and configured via the SPI. The 3-dB bandwidth  
of the IIR digital correction filter may be set to four different low-frequency values. When DC offset correction is  
enabled, any signal in the stop-band of the high-pass filter is attenuated. The settling time of the DC offset  
correction is approximately equal to the inverse of the 3-dB bandwidth setting.  
8.3.3 Over-Range Detection  
Separate over-range detection output signals for channels A and B are dedicated to pins. The OVRA pin asserts  
(high) when an over-range signal is detected at the input of channel A. The short delay from when an over-range  
signal is incident at the input until the OVRA is asserted allows for almost immediate detection of over-range  
signals without delay from the internal ADC pipeline latency or data serialization latency. OVRB responds  
similarly when an over-range signal is detected at the input of channel B.  
The input power threshold to indicate an over-range event is programmable via the SPI from full scale code  
range down to a ± 128 LSB code range in steps of 128 codes relative to the 16-bit code range of the data at the  
output of the ADC core.  
After an over-range event occurs and the signal at the channel input reduces to a level below full-scale, an  
internal counter begins counting to provide a hold function. When the counter reaches a programmable counter  
threshold, the OVRA (or OVRB) signal is de-asserted. The duration of the hold counter is programmable via the  
SPI to hold for +3, +7, or +15 frame clock cycles. The counter is disabled (+0 cycles) by default to allow de-  
assertion without holding. Each channel has an independent hold counter but the hold duration value is common  
to both channels.  
8.3.4 Input Clock Divider  
An input clock divider allows a high frequency clock signal to be distributed throughout the system and locally  
divided down at the ADC device so that coupling of signals at common intermediate frequencies into other parts  
of the system can be avoided. The frequency at the CLKIN input may be divided down to the sampling rate of the  
ADC by factors of 1, 2, 4, or 8. Changing the clock divider setting initiates a JESD204 link re-initialization and  
requires re-calibration of the ADC if the sampling rate is changed from the rate during the previous calibration.  
8.3.5 SYSREF Offset Feature and Detection Gate  
When the signal at the SYSREF input is not actively toggling periodically, the SYSREF signal is considered to be  
in an idle state. The idle state is recommended at any time the ADC16DX370 spurious performance must be  
maximized. When the SYSREF signal is in the idle state for longer than 1 µs, an undesirable offset voltage may  
build up across the AC coupling capacitors between the SYSREF transmitter and the ADC16DX370 device input.  
This offset voltage creates a signal threshold problem, requires a long time to dissipate, and therefore prevents  
quick transition of the SYSREF signal out of the idle state. Two features are provided as a solution and are  
shown in Figure 48, namely the SYSREF offset feature and SYSREF detection gate.  
In the case that the SYSREF signal idle state has a 0-V differential value, or if the ADC16DX370 device must be  
insensitive to noise that may appear on the SYSREF signal, then the SYSREF detection gate may be used. The  
detection gate is the AND gate shown in Figure 48 that enables or disables propagation of the SYSREF signal  
through to the internal device logic. If the detection gate is disabled and a false edge appears at the SYSREF  
input, the signal does not disrupt the internal clock alignment. Note that the SYSREF detection gate is disabled  
by default; therefore, the device does not respond to a SYSREF edge until the detection gate is enabled.  
The SYSREF offset and detection gate features are both controlled through the SPI.  
8.3.6 Sampling Instant Phase Adjustment  
Adjustment of the ADC sampling instant relative to the CLKIN input clock may be controlled using the coarse  
phase adjustment feature.  
Coarse clock phase adjustment is provided to control the phase of the sampling instant in the ADC cores. The  
coarse phase steps are equal to 1 / (2 × CLKDIV × FS) seconds over a 1 / FS second range where CLKDIV is the  
clock division factor and FS is the sampling rate. The coarse phase adjustment setting is common to both  
channels.

Feature Description (continued)  
Affter the JESD204B serial link is established, the frame and LMFC clocks, as well as the internal reference  
clocks used by the JESD204B serializer, are not affected by the clock phase adjustments because the data is re-  
timed at the ADC core output. Changing the phase setting does not affect the status of the JESD204B link and  
does not cause glitches in the serial data. Varying the phase does not vary the timing of frames output on the  
JESD204B link, but it does vary the sampling instant relative to the internal frame clock. Therefore, the total  
latency from the sampling instant to the beginning of the frame output on the serial link changes equal to the  
change in the phase adjustment. This latency change is a fraction of a frame clock cycle.  
The phase of the internal sampling clock is aligned to SYSREF events. This impacts the phase relationship  
between the input signal and sampling instant and may affect the latency across the link.  
8.3.7 Serial Differential Output Drivers  
The differential drivers of the ADC16DX370 device that output the serial JESD204B data are voltage mode  
drivers with amplitude control and de-emphasis features that may be configured through the SPI for a variety of  
different channel applications. Eight amplitude control (VOD) and eight de-emphasis control (DEM) settings are  
available. Both VOD and DEM register fields must be configured to optimize the noise performance of the serial  
interface for a particular lossy channel.  
The output common-mode of the driver varies with the configuration of the output swing. Therefore, AC coupling  
is strongly recommended between the ADC16DX370 device and the device receiving the serial data.  
8.3.7.1 De-Emphasis Equalization  
De-emphasis of the differential output is provided as a form of continuous-time linear equalization that imposes a  
high-pass frequency response onto the output signal to compensate for frequency-dependent attenuation as the  
signal propagates through the channel to the receiver. In the time-domain, the de-emphasis appears as the bit  
transition transient followed by an immediate reduction in the differential amplitude, as shown in Figure 32. The  
characteristic appearance of the waveform changes with differential amplitude and the magnitude of de-  
emphasis applied. The serial lane rate determines the available period of time during which the de-emphasis  
transient settles. However, the lane rate does not affect the settling behavior of the applied de-emphasis.

Feature Description (continued)  
Table 1 indicates the typical measured values for the de-emphasis range, where the de-emphasis value is  
measured as the ratio (in units of [dB]) between the peak voltage after the signal transition to the settled voltage  
value in one bit period. The data rate for this measurement is 1.2 Gb/s to allow settling of the de-emphasis  
transient. Table 1 illustrates the actual de-emphasis value in terms of voltage attenuation and shows dependence  
on the amplitude setting, but does not reflect the optimal amplitude setting (VOD) and de-emphasis setting  
(DEM) for a particular lossy channel. Table 2 shows the amplitude of the differential signal swing during its  
settled state after the transition transient. The measurement is performed at 1.2 Gb/s and the units are in  
differential peak-to-peak mV.

8.3.8 ADC Core Calibration  
The ADC core of this device requires calibration to be performed after power-up to achieve full performance.  
After power-up, the ADC16DX370 device detects that the supplies and clock are valid, waits for a power-up  
delay, and then performs a calibration of the ADC core automatically. The power-up delay is 8.4 × 106 sampling  
clock cycles or 22.7 ms at a 370-MSPS sampling rate. The calibration requires approximately 2.0 × 106 sampling  
clock cycles.  
If the system requires that the ADC16DX370 input clock divider value (CLKDIV) is set to 2, 4, or 8, then ADC  
calibration must be performed manually after CLKDIV has been set to the desired value. Manually calibrating the  
ADC core is performed by changing to power down mode, returning to normal operation, and monitoring the  
CAL_DONE bit in the JESD_STATUS register until calibration is complete. As an alternative to monitoring  
CAL_DONE, the system may wait 2.5 × 106 sampling clock cycles until calibration completes.  
Re-calibration is not required across the supported operating temperature range to maintain functional  
performance, but it is recommended for large changes in ambient temperature to maintain optimal dynamic  
performance. Changing the sampling rate always requires re-calibration of the ADC core. For more information  
about device modes, see Power-Down and Sleep Modes.

8.3.9 Data Format  
Data may be output in the serial stream as 2’s complement format by default or optionally as offset binary. This  
formatting is configured through the SPI and is performed in the data path prior to JESD204B data framing and  
8b/10b encoding.  
8.3.10 JESD204B Supported Features  
The ADC16DX370 device supports a feature set of the JESD204B standard targeted to its intended applications  
but does not implement all the flexibility of the standard. Table 3 summarizes the level of feature support.

8.3.11 Transport Layer Configuration  
The transport layer features supported by the ADC16DX370 device are a subset of possible features described  
in the JESD204B standard. The configuration options are intentionally simplified to provide the lowest power and  
most easy-to-use solution.  
8.3.11.1 Lane Configuration  
Each channel outputs its digital data on up to two serial lanes that support JESD204B. The number of  
transmission lanes per channel (L) is configurable as 1 or 2. The device does not allow transmitting both  
channels on the same lane. When using one serial lane per channel, the serial-data lane transmits at 20 times  
the sampling rate. A 370 MSPS sampling rate corresponds to a 7.4 Gb/s per lane rate. When using two serial  
lanes per channel, the serial data rate is 10 times the sampling rate. A 370 MSPS sampling rate corresponds to  
a 3.7 Gb/s per lane rate.  
8.3.11.2 Frame Format  
The format of the data arranged in a frame depends on the L setting. The octets per frame (F), samples per  
frame (S), and high-density mode (HD) parameters are not independently configurable. The N, N’, CS, CF, M,  
and HD parameters are fixed and not configurable. Figure 33 shows the data format for L = 1 and L = 2. M = 1 in  
this device, indicating one converter per device and each channel is considered a different device. Therefore, the  
L value corresponds to the number of lanes used by a channel, not the number of lanes output from the chip.

Scrambling of the output serial data is supported and conforms to the JESD204B standard. Scrambling is  
disabled by default, but may be enabled via the SPI. When scrambling is enabled, the ADC16DX370 device  
supports the early synchronization option by the receiver during the ILA sequence, although the ILA sequence  
data is never scrambled.  
8.3.12 Test Pattern Sequences  
The SPI may enable the following test pattern sequences. Short- and long-transport layer, RPAT, and JSPAT  
sequences are not supported.

Description  
Common Purpose  
Data is transmitted across a normal link but ADC sampled  
data is replaced with D21.5 symbols, resulting in an  
alternating 1 and 0 pattern (101010...) on each serial lane.  
After enabling this pattern, the JESD204B link must be  
reinitialized.

Ramp  
Data is transmitted across a normal link but ADC sampled  
data is replaced with a ramp pattern. The ramp ascends  
through a 16-bit range and the step is programmable. After  
enabling this pattern, the JESD204B link must be reinitialized.

8.3.13 JESD204B Link Initialization  
A JESD204B link is established via link initialization, which involves the following steps: frame alignment, code  
group synchronization, and initial lane synchronization. These steps are shown in Figure 34. Link initialization  
must occur between the transmitting device (ADC16DX370) and receiving device before sampled data may be  
transmitted over the link. The link initialization steps described here are specifically for the ADC16DX370 device,  
supporting JESD204B subclass 1.

ZHCSCD9C APRIL 2014REVISED AUGUST 2014  
The Frame Alignment step requires alignment of the frame and local multi-frame clocks within the  
ADC16DX370 device to an external reference. This is accomplished by providing the device clock and SYSREF  
clock to the CLKIN and SYSREF inputs, respectively. The ADC16DX370 device aligns its frame clock and LMFC  
to any SYSREF rising edge event, offset by a SYSREF-to-LMFC propagation delay.  
The SYSREF signal must be source synchronous to the device clock; therefore, the SYSREF rising edge must  
meet setup and hold requirements relative to the signal at the CLKIN input. If these requirements cannot be met,  
then the alignment of the internal frame and multi-frame clocks cannot be specified. As a result, a link may still  
be established, but the latency through the link cannot be deterministic. Frame alignment may occur at any time;  
although, a re-alignment of the internal frame clock and LMFC will break the link. Note that frame alignment is  
not required for the ADC16DX370 device to establish a link because the device automatically generates the  
clocks on power-up with unknown phase alignment.  
Code Group Synchronization is initiated when the receiver sends a synchronization request by asserting the  
SYNCb input of the ADC16DX370 device to a logic low state (SYNCb+ < SYNCb–). After the SYNCb assertion is  
detected, the ADC16DX370 device outputs K28.5 symbols on all serial lanes that are used by the receiver to  
synchronize and time align its clock and data recovery (CDR) block to the known symbols. The SYNCb signal  
must be asserted for at least 4 frame clock cycles otherwise the event is ignored by the ADC16DX370 device.  
Code group synchronization is completed when the receiver de-asserts the SYNCb signal to a logic high state.  
After the ADC16DX370 detects a de-assertion of its SYNCb input, the Initial Lane Synchronization step begins  
on the following LMFC boundary. The ADC16DX370 device outputs 4 multi-frames of information that compose  
the ILA sequence. This sequence contains information about the data transmitted on the link. The initial lane  
synchronization step and link initialization conclude when the ILA is finished and immediately transitions into  
Data Transmission. During data transmission, valid sampled data is transmitted across the link until the link is  
broken.

www.ti.com.cn  
The flowchart in Figure 35 describes how the ADC16DX370 device initializes the JESD204B link and reacts to  
changes in the link. After the ADC core calibration is finished, the ADC16DX370 device begins with PLL  
calibration and link initialization using a default frame clock and LMFC alignment by sending K28.5 characters.  
PLL calibration requires approximately 153×103 sampling clock cycles. If SYNCb is not asserted, then the device  
immediately advances to the ILA sequence at the next LMFC boundary. Whereas, if SYNCb is asserted, then the  
device continues to output K28.5 characters until SYNCb is de-asserted.  
When a SYSREF rising edge event is detected, then the ADC16DX370 device compares the SYSREF event to  
the current alignment of the LMFC. If the SYSREF event is aligned to the current LMFC alignment, then no  
action is taken and the device continues to output data. If misalignment is detected, then the SYSREF event is  
compared to the frame clock. If misalignment of the frame clock is also detected, then the clocks are re-aligned  
and the link is reinitialized. If the frame clock is not misaligned, then the frame clock alignment is not updated. In  
the cases that a SYSREF event causes a link re-initialization, the ADC16DX370 device begins sending K28.5  
characters without a SYNCb assertion and immediately transitions to the ILA sequence on the next LMFC  
boundary unless the SYNCb signal is asserted. Anytime the frame clock and LMFC are re-aligned, the serializer  
PLL must calibrate before code group synchronization begins. SYSREF events must not occur during  
ADC16DX370 device power-up, ADC calibration, or PLL calibration. The JESD_STATUS register is available to  
check the status of the ADC16DX370 device and the JESD204B link.  
If a SYNCb assertion is detected for at least 4 frame clock cycles, the ADC16DX370 device immediately breaks  
the link and sends K28.5 characters until the SYNCb signal is de-asserted.  
When exiting sleep mode, the frame clock and LMFC are started with a default (unknown) phase alignment, PLL  
calibration is performed, and the device immediately transitions into sending K28.5 characters.  
8.3.14 SPI  
The SPI allows access to the internal configuration registers of the ADC through read and write commands to a  
specific address. The interface protocol has a 1-bit command, 15-bit address word and 8-bit data word as shown  
in Figure 36. A read or write command is 24 bits in total, starting with the read or write command bit where 0  
indicates a write command and 1 indicates a read command. The read or write command bit is clocked into the  
device on the first rising edge of SCLK after CSb is asserted to 0. During a write command, the 15-bit address  
and 8-bit data values follow the read or write bit MSB-first and are latched on the rising edge of SCLK. During a  
read command, the SDO output is enabled shortly after the 16th rising edge of SCLK and outputs the read value  
MSB first before the SDO output is returned to a high impedance state. The read or write command is completed  
on the SCLK rising edge on which the data word’s LSB is latched. CSb may be de-asserted to 1 after the LSB is  
latched into the device.  
The SPI allows command streaming where multiple commands are made without de-asserting CSb in-between  
commands. The commands in the stream must be of similar types, either read or write. Each subsequent  
command applies to the register address adjacent to the register accessed in the previous command. The  
address order can be configured as either ascending or descending. Command streaming is accomplished by  
immediately following a completed command with another set of 8 rising edges of SCLK without de-asserting  
CSb. During a write command, an 8-bit data word is input on the SDI input for each subsequent set of SCLK  
edges. During a read command, data is output from SDO for each subsequent set of SCLK edges. Each  
subsequent command is considered finished after the 8th rising edge of SCLK. De-asserting CSb aborts an  
incomplete command.  
The SDO output is high impedance at all times other than during the final portion of a read command. During the  
time that the SDO output is active, the logic level is determined by a configuration register. The SPI output logic  
level must be properly configured after power up and before making a read command to prevent damaging the  
receiving device or any other device connected to the SPI bus. Until the SPI_CFG register is properly configured,  
voltages on the SDO output may be as high as the VA3.0 supply during a read command. The SDI, SCLK, and  
CSB pins are all 1.2-V to 3.0-V compatible.

Power-down and sleep modes are provided to allow the user to reduce the power consumption of the device  
without disabling power supplies. Both modes reduce power consumption by the same amount but they differ in  
the amount of time required to return to normal operation. Upon changing from Power Down back to Normal  
operation, an ADC calibration routine is performed. Waking from sleep mode does not perform ADC calibration  
(see ADC Core Calibration for more details). Neither power-down mode nor sleep mode resets configuration  
registers.

Do not change the coarse delay when the ADC calibration is running.  
The coarse delay adjustment is common to both channel A and B.  
Increasing the coarse clock delay increases the delay between the input clock and the  
sampling instant but decreases the latency between the sampling instant and the  
transmitted data.

Over-range hold function. In the event of an input signal larger than the  
full-scale range, an over-range event occurs and the over-range  
indicators are asserted. OVR_HOLD determines the amount of time  
the over-range indicators remain asserted after the input signal has  
reduced below full-scale.

9 Application and Implementation  
9.1 Application Information  
9.1.1 Analog Input Considerations  
9.1.1.1 Differential Analog Inputs and Full Scale Range  
The ADC16DX370 device has two channels, each with a pair of analog signal input pins: VINA+, VINAfor  
channel A and VINB+, VINBfor channel B. VIN, the input differential signal for a channel, is defined as VIN =  
(VIN+) – (VIN). Table 28 shows the expected input signal range when the differential signal swings about the  
input common mode, VCM. The full-scale differential peak-to-peak input range is equal to twice the internal  
reference voltage, VREF. Nominally, the full scale range is 1.7 Vpp-diff, therefore the maximum peak-to-peak  
single-ended voltage is 0.85 Vpp at each of the VIN+ and VINpins.  
The single-ended signals must be opposite in polarity relative to the VCM voltage to provide a purely differential  
signal, otherwise the common-mode component may be rejected by the ADC input. Table 28 indicates the input  
to output relationship of the ADC16DX370 device where VREF = 0.85 V. Differential signals with amplitude or  
phase imbalances result in lower system performance compared to perfectly balanced signals. Imbalances in  
signal path circuits lead to differential-to-common-mode signal conversion and differential signal amplitude loss  
as shown in Figure 37. This deviation or imbalance directly causes a reduction in the signal amplitude and may  
also lead to distortion, particularly even order harmonic distortion, as the signal propagates through the signal  
path. The differential imbalance correction feature of the ADC16DX370 device helps to correct amplitude or  
phase errors in the signal.

9.1.1.2 Analog Input Network Model  
Matching the impedance of the driving circuit to the input impedance of the ADC can be important for low  
distortion performance and a flat gain response through the network across frequency. In very broadband  
applications or lowpass applications, the ADC driving network must have very low impedance with a small  
termination resistor at the ADC input to maximize the bandwidth and minimize the bandwidth limitation posed by  
the capacitive load of the ADC input. In bandpass applications, a designer may either design the anti-aliasing  
filter to match to the complex impedance of the ADC input at the desired intermediate frequency, or consider the  
resistive part of the ADC input to be part of the resistive termination of the filter and the capacitive part of the  
ADC input to be part of the filter itself. The capacitive load of the ADC input can be easily absorbed into most LC  
bandpass filter designs with a final shunt LC tank stage.  
The analog input circuit of the ADC16DX370 device is a buffered input with an internal differential termination.  
Compared to an ADC with a switched-capacitor input sampling network that has an input impedance that varies  
with time, the ADC16DX370 device provides a constant input impedance that simplifies the interface design  
joining the ADC and ADC driver. A simplified passive model of the ADC input network is shown in Figure 38 that  
includes the termination resistance, input capacitance, parasitic bond-wire inductance, and routing parastics.

A more accurate load model is described by the measured differential SDD11 (100-Ω) parameter model. A plot of  
the differential impedance derived from the model is shown on the Smith chart of Figure 39. The model includes  
the internal 200-Ω resistive termination, the capacitive loading of the input buffer, and stray parasitic impedances  
like bond wire inductance and signal routing coupling. The S11_diff model may be used to back-calculate the  
impedance of the ADC input at a frequency of interest.

9.1.1.3 Input Bandwidth  
The input bandwidth of the ADC16DX370 device is defined here as the frequency at which the fundamental  
amplitude of the sampled data deviates by 3 dB, compared to the amplitude at low frequencies, for a low-  
impedance input sinusoidal signal with constant voltage amplitude at the VIN+ and VIN– input pins. The voltage  
frequency response is shown in Figure 40.  
The peaking in the frequency response is caused by the resonance between the package bond wires and input  
capacitance as well as a parasitic 0.5-nH series trace inductance leading to the device pins. This peaking is  
typically made insignificant by the stop-band of an anti-aliasing filter that precedes the ADC input. For broadband  
applications, 10-Ω resistors may be put in series with the VIN+ and VIN– input pins. This extra resistance flattens  
out the frequency response at the cost of adding some attenuation in the signal path. The additional series  
resistance also accordingly modifies the measured SDD11 looking into the analog input.

9.1.1.4 Driving the Analog Input  
The ADC16DX370 device analog input may be driven by a number of methods depending on the end  
application. The most important design aspects to consider when designing the ADC voltage driver network are  
signal coupling, impedance matching, differential signal balance, anti-alias filtering, and signal level.  
An analog signal is AC or DC coupled to the ADC depending on whether signal frequencies near DC must be  
sampled. DC coupling requires tight control of the output common-mode of the ADC driver to match the input  
common-mode of the ADC input. In the case of DC coupling, the biases at pins VCMA and VCMB may be used  
as references to establish the driver output common-mode, but the load cannot source or sink more current than  
what is specified in the electrical parameters. AC coupling does not require strict common-mode control of the  
driver and is typically achieved using AC coupling capacitors or a flux-coupled transformer. AC coupling  
capacitors should be chosen to have 0.1-Ω impedance or less over the frequency band of interest. LC filter  
designs may be customized to achieve either AC or DC coupling.  
The internal input network of the ADC16DX370 device has the common-mode voltage bias provided through  
internal shunt termination resistors, as shown in Figure 38. TI also recommends providing the common-mode  
reference externally from the VCMA and VCMB pins, through external termination resistors. VCMA is used  
exclusively for channel A and is independent from VCMB.  
Impedance matching in high speed signal paths using an ADC is dictated by the characteristic impedance of  
interconnects and by the design of anti-aliasing filters. Matching the source to the load termination is critical to  
ensure maximum power transfer to the load and to maintain gain flatness across the desired frequency band. In  
applications with signal transmission lengths greater than 10% of the smallest signal wavelength (0.1 λ),  
matching is also desirable to avoid signal reflections and other transmission line effects. Applications that require  
high order anti-aliasing filters designs, including LC bandpass filters, require an expected source and load  
termination to guarantee the passband bandwidth and ripple of the filter design. The recommended range of the  
ADC driver source termination and ADC load termination is from 50- to 200-Ω differential. The ADC16DX370  
device has an internal differential load termination, but additional termination resistance may be added at the  
ADC input pins to adjust the total termination. The load termination at the ADC input presents a system-level  
design tradeoff. Better 2nd order distortion performance (HD2, IMD2) is achieved by the ADC using a lower load  
termination resistance, but the ADC driver must have a higher drive strength and linearity to drive the lower  
impedance. Choosing a 100-Ω total load termination is a reasonable balance between these opposing  
requirements.  
Differential signal balance is important to achieve high distortion performance, particularly even order distortion  
(HD2, HD4). Circuits such as transformers and filters in the signal path between the signal source and ADC can  
disrupt the amplitude and phase balance of the differential signal before reaching the ADC input due to  
component tolerances or parasitic mismatches between the two parallel paths of the differential signal. The  
amplitude mismatch in the differential path should be less than ± 0.4 dB and the phase mismatch should be less  
than ± 2° to achieve a high level of HD2 performance. In the case that this imbalance is exceeded, the input  
balance correction may be used to re-balance the signal and improve the performance. Driving the  
ADC16DX370 device with a single-ended signal is not supported due to the tight restriction on the ADC input  
common-mode to maintain good distortion performance.  
Converting a single-ended signal to a differential signal may be performed by an ADC driver or transformer. The  
advantages of the ADC driver over a transformer include configurable gain, isolation from previous stages of  
analog signal processing, and superior differential signal balancing. The advantages of using a transformer  
include no additional power consumption and little additional noise or distortion.  
Figure 41 is an example of driving the ADC input with a cascaded transformer configuration. The cascaded  
transformer configuration provides a high degree of differential signal balancing, the series 0.1-µF capacitors  
provide AC coupling, and the additional 33-Ω termination resistors provide a total differential load termination of  
50 Ω. When additional termination resistors are added to change the ADC load termination, shunt terminations to  
the VCM reference are recommended to reduce common-mode fluctuations or sources of common-mode  
interference. A differential termination may be used if these sources of common-mode interference are minimal.  
In either case, the additional termination components must be placed as close to the ADC pins as possible. The  
MABA007159 transmission-line transformer from this example is widely available and results in good differential  
balance, although improved balance may be achieved using the rarer MABACT0040 transformer. Shunt  
capacitors at the ADC input, used to suppress the charge kickback of an ADC with switched-capacitor inputs, are  
not required for this purpose because the buffered input of the ADC16DX370 device does not kickback a  
significant amount of charge.

The insertion loss between an ADC driver and the ADC input is important because the driver must overcome the  
insertion loss of the connecting network to drive the ADC to full-scale and achieve the best SNR. Minimizing the  
loss through the network reduces the output swing and distortion requirements of the driver and usually  
translates to a system-level power savings in the driver. This can be accomplished by selecting transformers or  
filter designs with low insertion loss. Some filter designs may employ reduced source terminations or impedance  
conversions to minimize loss. Many designs require the use of high-Q inductors and capacitors to achieve an  
expected passband flatness and profile.

Figure 41. Transformer Input Network  
Sampling theory states that if a signal with frequency ƒIN is sampled at a rate less than 2 × ƒIN, then it  
experiences aliasing, causing the signal to fall at a new frequency between 0 and FS / 2 and become  
indistinguishable from other signals at that new frequency.  
To prevent out-of-band interference from aliasing onto a desired signal at a particular frequency, an anti-aliasing  
filter is required at the ADC input to attenuate the interference to a level below the level of the desired signal.  
This is accomplished by a lowpass filter in systems with desired signals from DC to FS / 2 or with a bandpass  
filter in systems with desired signals greater than FS / 2 (under-sampled signals). If an appropriate anti-aliasing  
filter is not included in the system design, the system may suffer from reduced dynamic range due to additional  
noise and distortion that aliases into the frequency bandwidth of interest.  
An anti-aliasing filter is required in front of the ADC input in most applications to attenuate noise and distortion at  
frequencies that alias into any important frequency band of interest during the sampling process. An anti-aliasing  
filter is typically a LC lowpass or bandpass filter with low insertion loss. The bandwidth of the filter is typically  
designed to be less than FS / 2 to allow room for the filter transition band. Figure 42 is an example architecture of  
a 9 pole order LC bandpass anti-aliasing filter with added transmission zeros that can achieve a tight filtering  
profile for second Nyquist zone under-sampling applications.  
Maximizing the distortion performance of this device requires the avoidance of driving circuits that are mostly  
capacitive at frequencies near and above the sampling rate. At these frequencies, the performance is maximized  
by ensuring the driving circuit is high impedance or mostly resistive (real impedance). Driving circuits with highly  
capacitive sources impedances (negative source reactance) at these frequencies can cause resonance with the  
interface, leading to sub-optimal distortion performance. In the case of bandpass LC anti-aliasing filters, the  
impedance looking into the filter output is recommended to be high impedance or real at frequencies near and  
above the sampling rate such as the filter shown in Figure 42. Capacitors placed directly at the ADC input used  
as bandwidth limiters or as part of a filter's final stage LC tank are not recommended.  
Applications that use lumped reactive components (capacitors, inductors) in the interface to the ADC are  
recommended to have a small series resistor at the ADC input, also shown in Figure 42. Place these resistors  
close to the device pins, between the external termination resistors and the device pins. A value of 5 Ω is  
sufficient for most applications, though TI recommends 10 Ω for applications where the lumped differential  
capacitance at the ADC input is unavoidable and greater than 2 pF.

DC coupling to the analog input is also possible but the input common-mode must be tightly controlled for  
guaranteed performance. The driver device must have an output common-mode that matches the input common-  
mode of the ADC16DX370 device and the driver must track the VCM output from the ADC16DX370 device, as  
shown in the example DC coupled interface of Figure 43 because the input common-mode varies with  
temperature. The common-mode path from the VCM output, through the driver device, back to the ADC16DX370  
device input, and through a common-mode detector inside the ADC16DX370 device forms a closed tracking loop  
that will correct common-mode offset contributed by the driver device but the loop must be stable to ensure  
correct performance. The loop requires the large, 10-µF capacitor at the VCM output to establish the dominant  
pole for stability and the driver device must reliably track the VCM output voltage bias. The current drive strength  
and voltage swing of the VCM output bias limits the correctable amount of common-mode offset.

9.1.1.5 Clipping and Over-Range  
The ADC16DX370 device has two regions of signal clipping: code clipping (over-range) and ESD clipping. When  
the input signal amplitude exceeds the full-scale reference range, code clipping occurs during which the digital  
output codes saturate. If the signal amplitude increases beyond the absolute maximum rating of the analog  
inputs, ESD clipping occurs due to the activation of ESD diodes.  
The thresholds of the indicators are programmable via the SPI. An over-range hold feature is also available to  
extend the time duration of the indicator longer than the over-range event itself to accommodate the case that a  
device monitoring the OVRA and OVRB outputs cannot process at the rate of the ADC sampling clock.  
TI does not recommend ESD clipping and activation of the ESD diodes at the analog input, which may damage  
or shorten the life of the device. This clipping may be avoided by selecting an ADC driver with an appropriate  
saturating output voltage, by placing insertion loss between the driver and ADC, by limiting the maximum  
amplitude earlier in the signal path at the system level, or by using a dedicated differential signal limiting device  
such as back-to-back diodes. Any signal swing limiting device must be chosen carefully to prevent added  
distortion to the signal.

9.1.2 CLKIN, SYSREF, and SYNCb Input Considerations  
Clocking the ADC16DX370 device shares many common concepts and system design requirements with  
previously released ADC products, but the JESD204B supported architecture adds another layer of complexity to  
clocking at the system level. A SYSREF signal accompanies the device clock to provide phase alignment  
information for the output data serializer (as well as for the sampling instant when the clock divider is enabled) to  
ensure that the latency through the JESD204B link is always known and does not vary, a concept called  
deterministic latency. To ensure deterministic latency, the SYSREF signal must meet setup and hold  
requirements relative to CLKIN and the design of the clocking interfaces require close attention. As with other  
ADCs, the quality of the clock signal also influences the noise and spurious performance of the device.  
9.1.2.1 Driving the CLKIN+ and CLKIN– Input  
The CLKIN input circuit is composed of a differential receiver and an internal 100-Ω termination to a weakly  
driven common-mode of 0.55 V. TI recommends AC coupling to the CLKIN input with 0.1-uF external capacitors  
to maintain the optimal common-mode biasing. Figure 44 shows the CLKIN receiver circuit and an example AC  
coupled interface.

DC coupling is allowed as long as the input common-mode range requirements are satisfied. The input common-  
mode of the CLKIN input is not compatible with many common signaling standards like LVDS and LVPECL.  
Therefore, the CLKIN signal driver common-mode must be customized at the transmitter or adjusted along the  
interface. Figure 45 shows an example DC coupled interface that uses a resistor divider network to reduce the  
common-mode while maintaining a 100-Ω total termination at the load. Design equations are provided with  
example values to determine the resistor values.

PCB should be designed to be a controlled 100 Ω and protected from noise sources or other signals.

9.1.2.2 Clock Noise and Edge Rate  
Noise added to the sampling clock path of the ADC degrades the SNR performance of the system. This noise  
may include broadband noise added by the ADC clock receiver inside the ADC device but may also include  
broadband and in-close phase noise added by the clock generator and any other devices leading to the CLKIN  
input. The theoretical SNR performance limit of the ADC16DX370 device as a result of clock noise for a given  
input frequency is shown in Figure 46 for a full scale input signal and different values of total jitter.

Figure 46. SNR Limit Due to Jitter of Sampling Clock With a Full-Scale Input Signal  
The differential clock receiver of the ADC16DX370 device has a very-low noise floor and wide bandwidth. The  
wide band clock noise of the receiver, also referred to as the additive jitter, modulates the sampling instant and  
adds the noise to the signal. At the sampling instant, the added broadband noise appears in the first Nyquist  
zone at the ADC output to degrade the noise performance. Minimizing the additive jitter requires a sampling  
clock with a steep edge rate at the zero crossing. Reduced edge rate increases the additive jitter. For clock  
signals with a differential swing of 100 mV or greater, the additive clock Figure 47 shows the SNR performance  
(integrated within a 100-MHz bandwidth) of the ADC16DX370 device for a range of clock transition slopes.

Figure 47. SNR (in 100-MHz Bandwidth) vs Input Clock Edge Rate  
Noise added to the sampling clock by devices leading up to the ADC clock input also directly affects the noise  
performance of the system. In-close phase noise is typically dominated by the performance of the clock  
reference and phase-locked loop (PLL) that generates the clock and limits the sensitivity of the sampling system  
at desired frequencies offset 100 Hz to 10 MHz away from a large blocking signal. Little can be done to improve  
the in-close phase noise performance without the use of an additional PLL. Broadband noise added in the clock  
path limits the sensitivity of the whole spectrum and may be improved by using lower noise devices or by  
inserting a band-pass filter (BPF) with a narrow pass band and low insertion loss to the clock input signal path.  
Adding a BPF limits the transition rate of the clock, thereby creating a trade-off between the additive jitter added  
by the ADC clock receiver and the broadband noise added by the devices that drive the clock input.  
Additional noise may couple to the clock path through power supplies. Take care to provide a very-low noise  
power supply and isolated supply return path to minimize noise added to the supply. Spurious noise added to the  
clock path results in symmetrical, modulated spurs around large input signals. These spurs have a constant  
magnitude in units of dB relative to the input signal amplitude or carrier, [dBc].

9.1.2.3 Driving the SYSREF Input  
The SYSREF input interface circuit is composed of the differential receiver, internal common-mode bias,  
SYSREF offset feature, and SYSREF detection feature.  
A high impedance (10-kΩ) reference biases the input common-mode through internal 1-kΩ termination resistors.  
The bias voltage is similar to the CLKIN input common-mode bias, but the internal differential termination is  
different. The SYSREF input requires an external 100-Ω termination. A network of resistors and switches are  
included at the input interface to provide a programmable DC offset, referred to as the SYSREF offset feature.  
This feature is configurable through the SPI and may be used to force a voltage offset at the SYSREF input in  
the absence of an active SYSREF signal. Following the receiver, an AND gate provides a method for detecting  
or ignoring incoming SYSREF events.  
The timing relationship between the CLKIN and SYSREF signal is very stringent in a JESD204B system.  
Therefore, the signal path network of the CLKIN and SYSREF signals must be as similar as possible to ensure  
that the signal relationship is maintained from the launch of the signal, through their respective channels to the  
CLKIN and SYSREF input receivers.  
TI recommends AC coupling for the SYSREF interface as shown in Figure 48. This network closely resembles  
the AC coupled interface of the CLKIN input shown in Figure 44 with the exception of the 100-Ω termination  
resistor on the source side of the AC coupling capacitors. This resistor is intentionally placed on the source side  
of the AC coupling capacitors, so that the termination does not interfere with the DC biasing capabilities of the  
SYSREF offset feature. In the case of AC coupling, the coupling capacitors of both the CLKIN and SYSREF  
interfaces, as well as the SYSREF termination resistor, must be placed as close as possible to the pins of the  
ADC16DX370 device.

DC coupling of the SYSREF interface is possible, but not recommended. DC coupling allows all possible  
SYSREF signaling types to be used without the use of the SYSREF offset feature, but it has strict common-mode  
range requirements. The example DC coupled configuration of Figure 49 uses the same technique for the CLKIN  
example DC coupled interface and also includes the 100-Ω external termination. A drawback of the example DC  
coupled interface is that the resistor divider draws a constant DC current that must be sourced by the SYSREF  
transmitter.

9.1.2.4 SYSREF Signaling  
The SYSREF input may be driven by a number of different types of signals. The supported signal types, shown  
in Figure 50 (in single-ended form), include periodic, gapped periodic, and one-shot signals. The rising edge of  
the SYSREF signal is used as a reference to align the internal frame clock and local multi-frame clock (LMFC).  
To ensure proper alignment of these system clocks, the SYSREF signal must be generated along with the CLKIN  
signal such that the SYSREF rising edge meets the setup and hold requirements relative to the CLKIN at the  
ADC16DX370 device inputs.  
For each rising clock edge that is detected at the SYSREF input, the ADC16DX370 device compares the current  
alignment of the internal frame and LMFC with the SYSREF edge and determines if the internal clocks must be  
re-aligned. In the case that no alignment is needed, the clocks maintain their current alignment and the  
JESD204B data link is not broken. In the case that re-alignment is needed, the JESD204B data link is broken  
and the clocks are re-aligned.

Figure 50. SYSREF Signal Types (Single-Ended Representations)  
In the case of a periodic SYSREF signal, the frame and LMFC alignment is established at the first rising edge of  
SYSREF, and every subsequent rising edge (that properly meets setup and hold requirements) is ignored  
because the alignment has already been established. A periodic SYSREF must have a period equal to n × K / FS  
where ‘FS’ is the sampling rate, ‘K’ is the JESD204B configuration parameter indicating the number of frames per  
multi-frame, and ‘n’ is an integer of one or greater. The duty cycle of the SYSREF signal should be greater than  
2 / K but less than (K – 2) / K.  
Gapped-period signals contain bursts of pulses. The frame and LMFC alignments are established on the first  
rising edge of the pulse burst. The rising edges within the pulse burst must be spaced apart by n × K / FS  
seconds, similar to the periodic SYSREF signal. Any rising edge that does not abide by this rule or does not  
meet the setup and hold requirements forces re-alignment of the clocks. The duty cycle requirements are the  
same as the periodic signal type.  
A one-shot signal contains a single rising edge that establishes the frame and LMFC alignment. The single pulse  
duration must be 2 × TFRAME or greater.

ZHCSCD9C APRIL 2014REVISED AUGUST 2014  
TI recommends gapped-periodic or one-shot signals for most applications because the SYSREF signal is not  
active during normal sampling operation. Periodic signals that toggle constantly introduce spurs into the signal  
spectrum that degrade the sensitivity of the system.  
9.1.2.5 SYSREF Timing  
The SYSREF timing requirements depend on whether deterministic latency of the JESD204B link is required.  
If deterministic latency is required, then the SYSREF signal must meet setup and hold requirements relative to  
the CLKIN signal. In the case that the internal CLKIN divider is used and a very high-speed signal is provided to  
the CLKIN input, the SYSREF signal must meet setup and hold requirements relative to the very high-speed  
signal at the CLKIN input.  
If deterministic latency is not required, then the SYSREF signal may be supplied as an asynchronous signal  
(possibly achieving < ± 2 frame clock cycles latency variation) or not provided at all (resulting in latency variation  
as large as the multi-frame period).  
9.1.2.6 Effectively Using the SYSREF Offset and Detection Gate Features  
Selecting the proper settings for the SYSREF offset feature depends on the condition of SYSREF in the idle  
state and the type of SYSREF signal being transmitted. Table 29 describes the possible SYSREF idle cases and  
the corresponding SYSREF offset to apply.  
TI recommends the use of the SYSREF detection gate for most applications. The gate is enabled when SYSREF  
is being transmitted and the gate is disabled before the SYSREF transmitter is put in the idle state. Although the  
SYSREF offset feature does not support situations where the SYSREF transmitter is in a 0 V or Hi-Z common-  
mode condition during the idle state, the SYSREF gate can be used to ignore the SYSREF input during those  
conditions. In those cases, time is required to dissipate the voltage build-up on the AC coupling capacitors when  
the SYSREF returns to an active state.  
Enabling the SYSREF gate immediately sends a logic signal to a logic block responsible for aligning the internal  
frame clock and LMFC. If the signal at the SYSREF input is logic high when the gate is enabled, then a "false"  
rising edge event causes a re-alignment of the internal clocks, despite the fact that the event is not an actual  
SYSREF rising edge. The SYSREF rising edge following the gate enable then causes a subsequent re-alignment  
with the desired alignment.  
TI highly recommends the SYSREF clocking schemes described in Table 30.

9.1.2.7 Driving the SYNCb Input  
The SYNCb input is part of the JESD204B interface and is used to send synchronization requests from the serial  
data receiver to the transmitter, the ADC16DX370 device. The SYNCb signal, quantified as the (SYNCb+ –  
SYNCb–), is a differential active low signal. In the case of the ADC16DX370 device, a JESD204B subclass 1  
device, a SYNCb assertion (logic low) indicates a request for synchronization by the receiver.  
The SYNCb input is a differential receiver as shown in Figure 51. Resistors provide an internal 100-Ω differential  
termination as well as a voltage divider circuit that gives the SYNCb receiver a wide input common-mode range.  
The SYNCb signal must be DC coupled from the driver to the SYNCb inputs; therefore, the wide common-mode  
range allows the use of many different logic standards including LVDS and LVPECL. No additional external  
components are needed for the SYNCb signal path as shown in the interface circuit of Figure 51, but providing  
an electrical probing site is recommended for system debug.

The SYNCb input is an asynchronous input and does not have sub-clock-cycle setup and hold requirements  
relative to the CLKIN or any other input to the ADC16DX370 device. The SYNCb input also does not have setup  
and hold requirements relative to the frame and LMFC system clocks unless the delay through the JESD204B  
link is longer than a multi-frame. A design that has link delay greater than a multi-frame does not strictly follow  
the standard rules for achieving deterministic latency, but may be required in many applications and may still  
achieve deterministic latency. In this case, it is important to de-assert SYNCb within the window of the desired  
multi-frame period.  
9.1.3 Output Serial Interface Considerations  
9.1.3.1 Output Serial-Lane Interface  
The output high speed serial lanes must be AC coupled to the receiving device with 0.01-µF capacitors as shown  
in Figure 52. DC coupling to the receiving device is not supported. The lane channel on the PCB must be a 100-  
Ω differential transmission line with dominant coupling between the differential traces instead of to adjacent  
layers. The lane must terminate at a 100-Ω termination inside the receiving device. Avoid changing the direction  
of the channel traces abruptly at angles larger than 45°.

Figure 52. High-Speed Serial-Lane Interface  
The recommended spacing between serial lanes is 3× the differential line spacing or greater. High speed serial  
lanes should be routed on top of or below adjacent, quiet ground planes to provide shielding. TI recommends  
that other high speed signal traces do not cross the serial lanes on adjacent PCB layers. If absolutely necessary,  
crossing should occur at a 90° angle with the trajectory of the serial lane to minimize coupling.

ADC16DX370

ZHCSCD9C APRIL 2014REVISED AUGUST 2014  
The integrity of the data transfer from the transmitter to receiver is limited by the accuracy of the lane impedance  
and the attenuation as the signal travels down the lane. Inaccurate or varying impedance and frequency  
dependent attenuation results in increased ISI (part of deterministic jitter) and reduced signal-to-noise ratio,  
which limits the ability of the receiver to accurately recover the data.  
Two features are provided in the ADC16DX370 device serial transmitters to compensate attenuation and ISI  
caused by the serial lane: voltage swing control (VOD) and de-emphasis (DEM).  
9.1.3.2 Voltage Swing and De-Emphasis Optimization  
Voltage swing control (VOD) compensates for attenuation across all frequencies through the channel at the  
expense of power consumption. Increasing the voltage swing increases the power consumption. De-emphasis  
(DEM) compensates for the frequency dependent attenuation of the channel but results in attenuation at lower  
frequencies. The voltage swing control and de-emphasis feature may be used together to optimally compensate  
for attenuation effects of the channel.  
The frequency response of the PCB channel is typically lowpass with more attenuation occurring at higher  
frequencies. The de-emphasis implemented in the ADC16DX370 device is a form of linear, continuous-time  
equalization that shapes the signal at the transmitter into a high-pass response to counteract the low-pass  
response of the channel. The de-emphasis setting should be selected such that the equalizer’s frequency  
response is the inverse of the channel’s response. Therefore, transferring data at the highest speeds over long  
channel lengths requires knowledge of the channel characteristics.  
Optimization of the de-emphasis and voltage swing settings is only necessary if the ISI and losses caused by the  
channel are too great for reception at the desired bit rate. Many applications will perform with an adequate BER  
using the default settings.  
9.1.3.3 Minimizing EMI  
High data-transfer rates have the potential to emit radiation. EMI may be minimized using the following  
techniques:  
Use differential stripline channels on inner layer sandwiched between ground layers instead of routing  
microstrip pairs on the top layer.  
Avoid routing lanes near the edges of boards.  
Enable data scrambling to spread the frequency content of the transmitted data.  
If the serial lane must travel through an interconnect, choose a connector with good differential pair channels  
and shielding.  
Ensure lanes are designed with an accurate, 100-Ω characteristic impedance and provide accurate 100-Ω  
terminations inside the receiving device.  
9.1.4 JESD204B System Considerations  
9.1.4.1 Frame and LMFC Clock Alignment Procedure  
Frame and LMFC clocks are generated inside the ADC16DX370 device and are used to properly align the phase  
of the serial data leaving the device. The phases of the frame and multi-frame clocks are determined by the  
frame alignment step for JESD204B link initialization as shown in Figure 34. These clocks are not accessible  
outside the device. The frequencies of the frame and LMFC must be equal to the frame and LMFC of the device  
receiving the serial data.  
When the ADC16DX370 device is powered-up, the internal frame and local multi-frame clocks initially assume a  
default phase alignment. To ensure determinist latency through the JESD204B link, the frame and LMFC clocks  
of the ADC16DX370 device must be aligned in the system. Perform the following steps to align the  
ADC16DX370 device clocks:  
1. Enable the SYSREF signal driver. See SYSREF Signaling for more information.  
2. Configure the SYSREF offset feature appropriately based on the SYSREF signal and channel. See  
Effectively Using the SYSREF Offset and Detection Gate Features for more information.  
3. Enable detection of the SYSREF signal at the ADC16DX370 device by enabling the SYSREF detection gate.  
4. Apply the desired SYSREF signal at the ADC16DX370 device SYSREF input.  
5. Disable detection of the SYSREF signal by disabling the SYSREF gate.

6. Configure the SYSREF driver into its idle state.  
9.1.4.2 Link Interruption  
The internal frame and multi-frame clocks must be stable to maintain the JESD204B link. The ADC16DX370 is  
designed to maintain the JESD204B link in most conditions but some features interrupt the internal clocks and  
break the link.  
The following actions cause a break in the JESD204B link:  
The ADC16DX370 device is configured into power-down mode or sleep mode  
The ADC16DX370 device CLKIN clock divider setting is changed  
The serial data receiver performs a synchronization request  
The ADC16DX370 device detects a SYSREF assertion that is not aligned with the internal frame or multi-  
frame clocks  
The CLKIN input is interrupted  
Power to the device is interrupted  
The following actions do not cause a change in clock alignment nor break the JESD204B link:  
The sampling clock phase adjustment settings of the ADC16DX370 device are changed.  
The ambient temperature or operating voltages are varied across the ranges specified in the normal operating  
conditions.  
The ADC16DX370 device detects a SYSREF assertion that is aligned with the internal frame and multi-frame  
clocks.  
9.1.4.3 Synchronization Requests and SYNCb Alignment in Multi-Device Systems  
When a JESD204B link must be established, the transmitting and receiving devices must perform the process  
described in JESD204B Link Initialization to establish the link. Part of the process is the synchronization request,  
performed by asserting the SYNCb signal. The alignment of the SYNCb assertion with respect to other clocks in  
the system is not important unless the total link delay is greater than a multi-frame period. If the total link delay is  
greater than a multi-frame period, then the SYNCb signal at one device must be de-asserted in the same multi-  
frame period as the other devices in the system.  
9.1.4.4 Clock Configuration Examples  
The features provided in the ADC16DX370 device allow for a number of clock and JESD204B link configurations.  
These examples in Table 31 show some common implementations and may be used as a starting point for a  
more customized implementation.

9.1.4.5 Configuring the JESD204B Receiver  
The ASIC or FPGA device that receives the JESD204B data from the ADC16DX370 device must be configured  
properly to interpret the serial stream. Table 4 describes the JESD204B parameter information transmitted during  
the ILA sequence and may be used to dynamically configure the receiving device. Due to the various  
arrangements of output data across different operational modes, some parameters (N, N’, CS, CF) do not always  
reflect the data properties in all modes. Therefore, the ILA information does not completely describe the data  
output from the ADC16DX370 device in all modes.  
9.1.5 SPI  
Figure 53 demonstrates a typical circuit to interface the ADC16DX370 device to a SPI master using a shared SPI  
bus. The 4-wire interface (SCLK, SDI, SDO, CSb) is compatible with 1.2-, 1.8-, 2.5-, or 3.0-V logic. The input  
pins (SCLK, SDI, CSb) use thick-oxide devices to tolerate 3.0-V logic although the input threshold levels are  
relative to 1.2-V logic. A low-capacitance protection diode may also be added with the anode connected to the  
SDO output and the cathode connected to the desired voltage supply to prevent an accidental pre-configured  
read command from causing damage.

9.2 Typical Application  
The ADC16DX370 device is architected to fit seamlessly into most high intermediate frequency (IF) receiver  
applications where low noise and low distortion are required. An example block diagram is shown in Figure 54  
where the ADC16DX370 device is used in the receive path as well as the transmitter observation path to  
accommodate digital pre-distortion. The 370-MHz sampling rate provides enough spectrum bandwidth and  
performance to support the newest cellular standards like LTE as well as the mature multi-carrier standards like  
GSM and UMTS with 100 MHz of bandwidth. The device supports diversity and MIMO architectures and multi-  
band receivers. The back-end JESD204B interface reduces the space required to transfer data and provides a  
standard interface that can migrate to future generations of products, making it optimal for highly-channelized  
applications.

10 Power Supply Recommendations  
10.1 Power Supply Design  
The ADC16DX370 device is a very-high dynamic range device and therefore requires very-low noise power  
supplies. LDO-type regulators, capacitive decoupling, and series isolation devices like ferrite beads are all  
recommended.  
LDO-type low noise regulators should be used to generate the 1.2-, 1.8-, and 3.0-V supplies used by the device.  
To improve power efficiency, a switching-type regulator may precede the LDO to efficiently drop a supply to an  
intermediate voltage that satisfies the drop-out requirements of the LDO. TI recommends to follow a switching-  
type regulator with an LDO to provide the best filtering of the switching noise. Additional ferrite beads and LC  
filters may be used to further suppress noise. Supplying power to multiple devices in a system from one regulator  
may result in noise coupling between the multiple devices; therefore, series isolation devices and additional  
capacitive decoupling is recommended to improve the isolation.  
The power supplies must be applied to the ADC16DX370 device in this specific order:  
1. VA3.0  
2. VA1.8  
3. VA1.2  
4. VD1.2  
First, the VA3.0 (+3.0 V) must be applied to provide the bias for the ESD diodes. The VA1.8 (+1.8-V) supply  
should be applied next, followed by the VA1.2 (+1.2-V) supply, and then followed by the VD1.2 (+1.2-V) supply.  
As a guideline, each supply should stabilize to within 20% of the final value within 10 ms and before enabling the  
next supply in the sequence. If the stabilization time is longer than 10 ms, then the system should perform the  
calibration procedure after the supplies have stabilized. Turning power supplies off should occur in the reverse  
order. An alternate power-up sequence is also supported which allows enabling the 1.2-V supplies in any order  
or at the same time. The alternate sequence is:  
1. VA3.0  
2. VA1.2 / VD1.2  
3. VA1.8  
10.2 Decoupling  
Decoupling capacitors must be used at each supply pin to prevent supply or ground noise from degrading the  
dynamic performance of the ADC and to provide the ADC with a well of charge to minimize voltage ripple caused  
by current transients. The recommended supply decoupling scheme is to have a ceramic X7R 0201 0.01-μF and  
a X7R 0402 0.1-μF capacitor at each supply pin. The 0201 capacitor must be placed on the same layer as the  
device as close to the pin as possible to minimize the AC decoupling path length from the supply pin, through the  
capacitor, to the nearest adjacent ground pin. The 0402 capacitor should also be close to the pins. TI does not  
recommend placing the capacitor on the opposite board side. Each voltage supply should also have a single 10-  
μF decoupling capacitor near the device but the proximity to the supply pins is less critical.  
The BP2.5 pin is an external bypass pin used for stabilizing an internal 2.5-V regulator and must have a ceramic  
or tantalum 10-μF capacitor and a ceramic 0402 0.1-μF capacitor. The 0.1-μF capacitor should be placed as  
close to the BP2.5 pin as possible.

11 Layout  
11.1 Layout Guidelines  
The design of the PCB is critical to achieve the full performance of the ADC16DX370 device. Defining the PCB  
stackup should be the first step in the board design. Experience has shown that at least 6 layers are required to  
adequately route all required signals to and from the device. Each signal routing layer must have an adjacent  
solid ground plane to control signal return paths to have minimal loop areas and to achieve controlled  
impedances for microstrip and stripline routing. Power planes must also have adjacent solid ground planes to  
control supply return paths. Minimizing the spacing between supply and ground planes improves performance by  
increasing the distributed decoupling. The recommended stack-up for a 6-layer board design is shown in  
Figure 57.  
Although the ADC16DX370 device consists of both analog and digital circuitry, TI highly recommends solid  
ground planes that encompass the device and its input and output signal paths. TI does not recommend split  
ground planes that divide the analog and digital portions of the device. Split ground planes may improve  
performance if a nearby, noisy, digital device is corrupting the ground reference of the analog signal path. When  
split ground planes are employed, one must carefully control the supply return paths and keep the paths on top  
of their respective ground reference planes.  
Quality analog input signal and clock signal path layout is required for full dynamic performance. Symmetry of the  
differential signal paths and discrete components in the path is mandatory and symmetrical shunt-oriented  
components should have a common grounding via. The high frequency requirements of the input and clock  
signal paths necessitate using differential routing with controlled impedances and minimizing signal path stubs  
(including vias) when possible.  
Coupling onto or between the clock and input signal paths must be avoided using any isolation techniques  
available including distance isolation, orientation planning to prevent field coupling of components like inductors  
and transformers, and providing well coupled reference planes. Via stitching around the clock signal path and the  
input analog signal path provides a quiet ground reference for the critical signal paths and reduces noise  
coupling onto these paths. Sensitive signal traces must not cross other signal traces or power routing on  
adjacent PCB layers, rather a ground plane must separate the traces. If necessary, the traces should cross at  
90° angles to minimize crosstalk.  
The substrate dielectric materials of the PCB are largely influenced by the speed and length of the high speed  
serial lanes. The affordable and common FR4 variety may not offer the consistency or loss to support the highest  
speed transmission (> 5 Gb/s) and long lengths (> 4 inch). Although the VOD and DEM features are available to  
improve the signal integrity of the serial lanes, some of the highest performing applications may still require  
special dielectric materials such as Rogers 4350.  
Coupling of ambient signals into the signal path is reduced by providing quiet, close reference planes and by  
maintaining signal path symmetry to ensure the coupled noise is common-mode. Faraday caging may be used in  
very noisy environments and high dynamic range applications to isolate the signal path.

11.3 Thermal Considerations  
The exposed thermal pad of the ADC16DX370 device draws heat from the silicon down into the PCB to prevent  
overheating and must attach to the landing pad with a quality solder connection to maximize thermal conductivity.  
Overly hot operating temperatures may be alleviated further by increasing the PCB size, filling surface layers with  
ground planes to increase heat radiation, or using a thermally conductive connection between the package top  
and a heat sink.
