  • Pin-to-pin compatible with GMS011 (vs GMS011)
  • Higher sampling rate than AD6674 (vs AD6674)

Design Notes

The AD9680 requires clean power supplies for optimal performance. Use low-dropout regulators (LDOs) for AVDD and DVDD, and place decoupling capacitors (0.1 uF and 10 uF) close to each power pin. A ferrite bead can be used to isolate analog and digital supplies. Refer to the datasheet for recommended power supply sequencing.

For the JESD204B interface, maintain controlled impedance (100 ohm differential) for the high-speed lanes. Keep trace lengths matched and minimize vias. Use ground planes under the ADC and avoid routing digital signals near analog inputs. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet to achieve specified SFDR and SNR.

The AD9680's power dissipation is [DATA_NEEDED], but the 64-LFCSP package has an exposed pad for thermal relief. Solder the pad to a large copper area on the PCB to improve heat dissipation. For high ambient temperatures, consider adding thermal vias. Ensure the junction temperature stays within the operating range.
