CSB Pin
The CSB pin should be tied to AVDD for applications that do
not require SPI mode operation. By tying CSB high, all SCLK
and SDIO information is ignored. This pin is both 1.8 V and
3.3 V tolerant.
RBIAS Pin
To set the internal core bias current of the ADC, place a resistor
(nominally equal to 10.0 kΩ) to ground at the RBIAS pin. The
resistor current is derived on-chip and sets the AVDD current of
the ADC to a nominal 450 mA at 65 MSPS. Therefore, it is
imperative that at least a 1% tolerance on this resistor be used to
achieve consistent performance
Voltage Reference
A stable, accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the
AD9222. This is gained up internally by a factor of 2, setting
V
REF
to 1.0 V, which results in a full-scale differential input span
of 2 V p-p. The V
REF
is set internally by default; however, the
VREF pin can be driven externally with a 1.0 V reference to
improve accuracy.
When applying the decoupling capacitors to the VREF, REFT,
and REFB pins, use ceramic low-ESR capacitors. These capacitors
should be close to the ADC pins and on the same layer of the
PCB as the AD9222. The recommended capacitor values and
configurations for the AD9222 reference pin are shown in
Figure 79.

Internal Reference Operation
A comparator within the AD9222 detects the potential at the
SENSE pin and configures the reference. If SENSE is grounded,
the reference amplifier switch is connected to the internal
resistor divider (see Figure 79), setting VREF to 1 V.
The REFT and REFB pins establish their input span of the ADC
core from the reference configuration. The analog input full-
scale range of the ADC equals twice the voltage at the reference
pin for either an internal or an external reference configuration.
If the reference of the AD9222 is used to drive multiple
converters to improve gain matching, the loading of the refer-
ence by the other converters must be considered. Figure 81
depicts how the internal reference voltage is affected by loading.
