Layout Information
The schematic and layout of the evaluation board (Figures 13
–
21)
represents a typical implementation of the AD9433. A multi-
layer board is recommended to achieve best results. It is highly
recommended that high quality, ceramic chip capacitors be used
to decouple each supply pin to ground directly at the device.
The pinout of the AD9433 facilitates ease of use in the implemen-
tation of high frequency, high resolution design practices. All of the
digital outputs and their supply and ground pin connections are
segregated to one side of the package, with the inputs on the
opposite side for isolation purposes.
Care should be taken when routing the digital output traces. To
prevent coupling through the digital outputs into the analog portion of
the AD9433 (V
CC
, AIN, and VREF), minimal capacitive loading
should be placed on these outputs.
It is recommended that a fan-out of only one gate should be used
for all AD9433 digital outputs.
The layout of the encode circuit is equally critical, and should
be treated as an analog input. Any noise received on this circuitry
will result in corruption in the digitization process and lower
overall performance. The Encode clock must be isolated from
the digital outputs and the analog inputs.
Replacing the AD9432 with the AD9433
The AD9433 is pin-compatible with the AD9432, although
there are two control pins on the AD9433 that do not connect
(DNC) and supply (V
CC
) connections on the AD9432. They are
summarized in the table below.

SFDR MODE
Using the AD9433 in an AD9432 pin assignment will configure
the AD9433 as follows:
The SFDR improvement circuit will be enabled.
The DFS pin will float LOW, selecting two

s complement
coding for the digital outputs, which is the same as the AD9432.
Table V summarizes differences between the AD9432 and
AD9433 analog and encode input common-mode voltages.
These inputs may be ac-coupled so that the devices can be used
interchangeably.

Digital Outputs
The digital outputs are 3 V (2.7 V to 3.3 V) TTL/CMOS-
compatible for lower power consumption. The output data
format is selectable through the data format select (DFS)
CMOS input. DFS = 1 selects offset binary; DFS = 0 selects
two

s complement coding.

Voltage Reference
A stable and accurate 2.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9433 (VREFOUT). In normal operation the internal reference
is used by strapping Pin 45 to Pin 46 and placing a 0.1 F
decoupling capacitor at VREFIN. The input range can be
adjusted by varying the reference voltage applied to the
AD9433. No appreciable degradation in performance occurs
when the reference is adjusted to 50. The full-scale range of the
ADC tracks reference voltage changes linearly.
Timing
The AD9433 provides latched data outputs, with 10 pipeline
delays. Data outputs are available one propagation delay (t
PD
)
after the rising edge of the encode command (see Timing Dia-
gram). The length of the output data lines and loads placed on
them should be minimized to reduce transients within the AD9433
;
these transients can detract from the converter
’
s dynamic per-
formance. The minimum guaranteed conversion rate of the
AD9433 is 10 MSPS. At internal clock rates below 10 MSPS,
dynamic performance may degrade.
