The maximum DRVDD current (IDRVDD) of AD9251

Hi Teams,

I`d like to know the maximum value of IDRVDD for AD9251. the data sheet page26 indicated as below: IDRVDD = VDRVDD × CLOAD × fCLK × N where N is the number of output bits (30, in the case of the AD9251), the clock of my design is 4MHz, if following this formula, if assumed the CLOAD is 5pF,  IDRVDD_max is about 3.3V*5pF*4MHz*30=1.98mA, am I right? would you please confirm this calculated result? 

in addition there had the description "In some applications, it may be acceptable to drive the sample clock inputs with a single-ended 1.8 V CMOS signal. In such applications, drive the CLK+ pin directly from a CMOS gate, and bypass the CLK− pin to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor (see Figure 54). "  what is the scenario of using a single-ended 1.8 V CMOS signal for the CLK input?

please answer my above two questions, thanks for your support!



add some detailed information.

  • the equation above is more like a typical value. for a max value (considering PVT) you can add a 20% multiplier, or about the same ratio from TYP to MAX as the AVDD current. 

    for single ended clock see figure 54

  • Hi UmeshJ,

    Thanks for your reply!

    • What is the pre-condition of using the single-end clock input for AD9251?
    • Is the single-end clock only 1.8V level? if yes, is it because the clock input use the 1.8V AVDD? 
    • The single-end clock is a 3.3V signal in my design, in this scenario the 3.3V single-end clock connect to AD9251 via a 0.1uF AC couple capacitor, no need any other external terminations same to as the figure 54, am I right?
    • thanks for your clarification in advance. 

    Br,
