Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and routing guide in the ADS6424IRGCR Evaluation Module User's Guide (SLAU445). It's essential to follow this guide to ensure optimal performance and minimize noise coupling.
The clock input should be a low-jitter, differential clock signal. Texas Instruments recommends using a clock source with a jitter of less than 100 ps RMS. Additionally, the clock input should be terminated with a 100-ohm differential resistor to ensure proper signal integrity.
The ADS6424IRGCR can handle input frequencies up to 250 MSPS. However, the maximum input frequency may be limited by the analog input bandwidth, which is typically around 400 MHz.
The ADS6424IRGCR's internal registers can be programmed using a serial interface, such as SPI or I2C. Texas Instruments provides a register programming guide in the ADS6424IRGCR datasheet, as well as example code in the ADS6424IRGCR Evaluation Module User's Guide.
The power consumption of the ADS6424IRGCR depends on the operating mode and clock frequency. Typically, the power consumption is around 1.2 W at 250 MSPS, with a 1.8 V analog supply and a 3.3 V digital supply. Refer to the datasheet for more detailed power consumption information.
