PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADS5400-SP requires a fully differential analog input with a full-scale range not to exceed 2 V peak to peak differential, biased to a common mode voltage of 2.5 V. In addition the input circuit must provide proper transmission line termination (or proper load resistors in an amplifier-based solution) so the input of the impedance of the ADC analog inputs should be considered as well.
The device is capable of a typical SNR of 58.5 dBFS for input frequencies of about 125 MHz, which is well under the Nyquist limit for this ADC operating at 1000 Msps. The amplifier and clocking solution will have a direct impact on performance in terms of SNR, so the amplifier and clocking solution should be selected such that the SNR performance of at least 58 dBFS is preserved.
