The Data Ready output’s first rising edge occurs after one clock period on the clock
falling edge, and a delay TDR = 1120 ps.
Consequently, as the analog input is sampled on the clock’s rising edge, the first digi-
tized data corresponding to the first acquisition (N) after a Data Ready signal restart
(rising edge) is always strobed by the third rising edge of the Data Ready signal.
The time delay (TD1) is specified between the last point of a change in the differential
output data (zero crossing point) to the rising or falling edge of the differential Data
Ready signal (DR, DRB) (zero crossing point).
For normal initialization of the Data Ready output signal, the external encoding clock
signal frequency and level must be controlled. The minimum encoding clock
sampling rate for the ADC is 10 Msps and consequently the clock cannot be
stopped.
One single pad is used for both the DRRB input command and die junction
temperature monitoring. The pad denomination will be DRRB/DIOD (on the former
version the denomination was DIOD).
Temperature monitoring and Data Ready control by DRRB is not possible
simultaneously.
Analog Inputs (VIN)
(VINB)
The analog input full-scale range is 0.5 V (Vpp), or -2 dBm into the 50
termination
resistor.
In the differential mode input configuration, that means 0.25 V on each input, or
±125 mV around 0 V. The input common mode is ground.
The typical input capacitance is 0.4 pF in die form (JTS8388B), not taking into account
the bond wires capacitance.
The input capacitance is mainly due to the pad capacitance, as the ESD protections are
not connected (but present) on the inputs.

Differential Versus Single-
ended Analog Input Operation
The JTS8388B can operate at full speed without any performance degradation in either
a differential or single-ended configuration.
This is explained by the fact that the ADC uses a high-input impedance differential
preamplifier stage, (preceding the Sample and Hold stage), which has been designed in
order to be entered either in differential or single-ended mode.
This is true so long as the out-of-phase analog input pad VINB is 50
terminated very
closely to one of the neighboring shield ground pads (33, 35, 37), which constitute the
local ground reference for the in-phase analog input pad (VIN).
