APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

POWER SUPPLY RECOMMENDATIONS

The AD9234 must be powered by the following seven supplies:

AVDD1 = 1.25 V, AVDD2 = 2.5 V, AVDD3 = 3.3 V, AVDD1_SR =

1.25 V, DVDD = 1.25 V, DRVDD = 1.25 V, and SPIVDD = 1.8 V.

For applications requiring an optimal high power efficiency and

low noise performance, it is recommended that the ADP2164

and ADP2370 switching regulators be used to convert the 3.3 V,

5.0 V, or 12 V input rails to an intermediate rail (1.8 V and

3.8 V). These intermediate rails are then postregulated by very

low noise, low dropout (LDO) regulators (ADP1741, ADM7172,

and ADP125). Figure 106 shows the recommended power

supply scheme for AD9234.

Figure 106. High Efficiency, Low Noise Power Solution for the AD9234

It is not necessary to split all of these power domains in all

cases. The recommended solution shown in Figure 106 provides

the lowest noise, highest efficiency power delivery system for

the AD9234. If only one 1.25 V supply is available, route to

AVDD1 first and then tap it off and isolate it with a ferrite

bead or a filter choke, preceded by decoupling capacitors for

AVDD1_SR, SPIVDD, DVDD, and DRVDD, in that order. The

user can employ several different decoupling capacitors to cover

both high and low frequencies. These must be located close to

the point of entry at the PCB level and close to the devices, with

minimal trace lengths.

EXPOSED PAD THERMAL HEAT SLUG

RECOMMENDATIONS

It is required that the exposed pad on the underside of the

ADC be connected to ground to achieve the best electrical

and thermal performance of the AD9234. Connect an exposed

continuous copper plane on the PCB to the AD9234 exposed

pad, Pin 0. The copper plane must have several vias to achieve

the lowest possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to

flow through the bottom of the PCB. These vias must be solder

filled or plugged. The number of vias and the fill determine the

resultant θJA measured on the board. This is shown in Table 7.

To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and

PCB, partition the continuous copper plane by overlaying a

silkscreen on the PCB into several uniform sections. This

provides several tie points between the ADC and PCB during

the reflow process, whereas using one continuous plane with no

partitions only guarantees one tie point. See Figure 107 for a

PCB layout example. For detailed information on packaging

and the PCB layout of chip scale packages, see the AN-772

Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the

Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).

AVDD1_SR (PIN 57) AND AGND (PIN 56 AND PIN 60)

AVDD1_SR (Pin 57) and AGND (Pin 56 and Pin 60) can be

used to provide a separate power supply node to the SYSREF±

circuits of AD9234. If running in Subclass 1, the AD9234 can

support periodic one-shot or gapped signals. To minimize the

coupling of this supply into the AVDD1 supply node, adequate

supply bypassing is needed.
