8.1 Overview

The ADC3660 is a low noise, ultra-low power 16-bit high-speed dual channel ADC family supporting sampling rates up to 65Msps. It offers excellent DC precision together with IF sampling support which makes it ideally suited for a wide range of applications. The ADC3660 is equipped with an internal reference option but it also supports the use of an external, high precision 1.6V voltage reference or an external 1.2V reference which is buffered and gained up internally.

An optional programmable digital down converter enables external anti-alias filter relaxation as well as output data rate reduction. The digital filter provides a 32-bit programmable NCO and supports both real or complex decimation.

Note: The ADC3660 uses a serial CMOS (SCMOS) interface to output the data which minimizes the number of digital interconnects. The device supports a two-lane (2-wire), a one-lane (1-wire) and a half lane (1/2-wire) interface option. The serialized CMOS interface supports output rates up to 250Mbps which translates to the following maximum output rates:
  • Decimation Bypass Mode: ~ 31 Msps (2-wire) to ~ 8 Msps (0.5-wire)
  • Complex Decimation: ~ 15 Msps (2-wire) to ~4 Msps (0.5-wire)
  • Real Decimation: ~ 30 Msps (2-wire) to ~ 8 Msps (0.5-wire)
Hence the ADC3660 can be operated in 'oversampling and decimating' mode using the internal decimation filter in order to improve the dynamic range and relax external anti-aliasing filter.

The ADC3660 includes a digital output formatter which supports output resolutions from 14 to 20-bit.

The device features and control options can be set up either through pin configurations or via SPI register writes.
