8.2.3.1 Sampling Clock

To maximize the SNR performance of the ADC a low jitter (< 75fs) sampling clock is required. Figure 8-2 shows the estimated SNR performance vs input frequency vs external clock jitter. The internal ADC aperture jitter also has some dependence to the clock amplitude (gets more sensitive with higher input frequency) as shown in Figure 8-3.

When using averaging and/or decimation, the SNR for a single ADC core must be estimated first before adding the SNR improvement from internal averaging and/or decimation.
