ADC12QJ1600: ADC12QJ1600

Part Number: ADC12QJ1600

Tool/software:

Hello,

While working with the ADC12QJ1600 at 1Ghz sample rate we encountered a problem:

When driving a high signal that saturated the ADC (1.5Vpp) - we got

  • Data Corruption - the 4 outputs suddenly loose phase alligment.

 Can you elaborate.ADC12Qj1600.pdf   

Sincerely,

Giora

  • Hi Giora,

    Can you please give us more context? The attached PDF doesn't really say much.

    So you are over-ranging the analog inputs of the ADC and your JESD link is lost during this time?

    Also, what analog input frequency range are you are using?

    What is the JMODE being used and sampling rate?

    Thx,

    Rob

  • Hello Rob,

    As for your questions:

    - Yes we over range the ADC inputs.

    - Yes the JESD link is lost during this time and stay like this after lowering the signal input.

       We have four signal inputs that are phase aligned ( using sysref ) during saturation one of the channels

       is going out of phase from the three other signals.

    - We use JMODE 8 64/66b.

    - The BW is ~ 80MHz ( driving the ADC from LMH34201 through 10 ohm resistor and 47pf capacitor on the ADC inputs.

    - The signal at ADC input is a pulse ~ 10ns width at half the amplitude with ~ 7ns rise and fall time at 10Khz rate.

    - Sampling clock is 1Ghz. Input clock to the ADC is 125Mhz diff Clock OSC.
