3 Description
The ADC3564 device is a low-noise, ultra-low power,
14-bit, 125-MSPS, high-speed ADC. Designed for
low power consumption, the device delivers a noise
spectral density of –156 dBFS/Hz combined with
excellent linearity and dynamic range. The ADC3564
offers IF sampling support which makes the device
suited for a wide range of applications. High-speed
control loops benefit from the short latency of as little
as one clock cycle. The ADC consumes only 137 mW
at 125 MSPS, and the power consumption scales well
with lower sampling rates.
The ADC3564 uses serial LVDS (SLVDS) interface
to output the data which minimizes the number of
digital interconnects. The device supports two-lane,
one-lane and half-lane options. The device is a pinto-
pin compatible family with different speed grades
and comes in a 40-pin VQFN package. The device
supports the extended industrial temperature range
from –40 to +105⁰C.
