SLASE67A January 2015 – August 2019 ADS54J54
PRODUCTION DATA.
The signal-to-noise ratio of the channel is limited by three different factors: the quantization noise is typically not noticeable in pipeline converters and is 84 dB for a 14-bit channel. The thermal noise limits the SNR at low input frequencies while the clock jitter sets the SNR for higher input frequencies.
Calculate the SNR limitation due to sample clock jitter using the following:
The total clock jitter (tJitter) has two components – the internal aperture jitter (98 fs for ADS54J54), which is set by the noise of the clock input buffer, the external clock jitter, and the jitter from the analog input signal. Calculate total clock jitter using the following:
External clock jitter can be minimized by using high quality clock sources and jitter cleaners, as well as bandpass filters at the clock input while a faster clock slew rate improves the channel aperture jitter.
The ADS54J54 has a thermal noise of 66 dBFS and internal aperture jitter of 98 fs. The SNR depending on amount of external jitter for different input frequencies is shown in Figure 103.
