ADS5294: 2-wire, Decimation by 2

Part Number: ADS5294

Dear Team,

A customer wants to use ADS5294 as a 2-wire setup, with the decimation by 2 filter enabled @ 62.5MHz. The datasheet does not seem to provide much information on such a setup. 

To be certain, I will appreciate if we can provide setup and hold times for a situation like this to the customer. 

Additionally, for the bitclock frequency calculation, they asked if the following calculation should be valid:

(62.5MSPS*14bit)/2 wires/2 decimation/2 DDR = 109.375MHz.

I look forward to the support.

Thanks and Regards,
Zain Riaz

  • the cacluation is correct. while based on most FPGA speed, 1-wire mode can support this very easily.  that is why we don't expect cusotmer using 2-wire mode. 

    please refer to datasheet regtister maps for setting up 2-wire , register 0x46

    EN_2WIRE 1: 2-wire LVDS output; 0: 1-wire LVDS output. Note: ~250us PLL settling time is required after programming the EN_2WIRE bit from Default States After Reset

    for the timing, datasheet section 8.8 gave out the timing . their Fs is equlvient as 32.5Mhz, so they can use 30Mhz timing data. 

    Thanks!

  • Hello Xu, 

    Thanks for the reply, we understand that this is an unusual situation. But we would like to use it due to limitations in the system. 

    Our question was initiated by the included note from the datasheet. This would mean we need to apply a correction to the timing given in table 8.8.
    Is this correction always -70ps for the set-up time and -0ps for the hold time?  

    Thanks in advance

    Kind Regards 

    Johan

    yes. you can add the 70ps margin in the timing. because the LVDS data rate is low, you should have enough margin on the FPGA side. 

    Thanks!
