2
Synthesis bandwidth (BW) is the extended bandwidth used by digital correction algorithms to measure conditions and generate compensation.
3
Quadrature error correction (QEC) is the system for minimizing quadrature images of a desired signal.
4
Local oscillator leakage (LOL) is a measure of the amount of the LO signal that is passed from a mixer with the desired signal.
5
Adjacent channel level reduction (ACLR) is a measure of the amount of power from the desired signal leaking into an adjacent channel.
6
dBFS represents the ratio of the actual output signal to the maximum possible output level for a continuous wave output signal at the given RF attenuation setting.
7
Continuous wave (CW) is a single frequency signal.
8
Note that the input signal power limit does not correspond to 0 dBFS at the digital output because of the nature of the continuous time Σ-Δ ADCs. Unlike the hard
clipping characteristic of pipeline ADCs, these converters exhibit a soft overload behavior when the input approaches the maximum level.
9
Signal-to-noise ratio is limited by the baseband quantization noise.

REFLOW PROFILE
Table 4.
Parameter Rating The AD9371 reflow profile is in accordance with the JEDEC
JESD20 criteria for Pb-free devices. The maximum reflow
VDDA_1P31 to VSSA −0.3 V to +1.4 V
temperature is 260°C.
VDDA_SER, VDDA_DES, and −0.3 V to +1.4 V
JESD_VTT_DES to VSSA THERMAL RESISTANCE
VDIG to VSSD −0.3 V to +1.4 V
Thermal performance is directly linked to PCB design and
operating environment. Careful attention to PCB thermal
VDD_IF to VSSA −0.3 V to +3.0 V
design is required.

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCE Table 9. Dual-Function Boundary Scan Test Pins

The AD9371 requires a specific power-up sequence to avoid Mnemonic JTAG Mnemonic Description
undesired power-up currents. The optimal power-on sequence GPIO_4 TRST Test access port reset
starts the process by powering up the VDIG and the VDDA_1P3 GPIO_5 TDO Test data output
(analog) supplies simultaneously. If they cannot power up GPIO_6 TDI Test data input
simultaneously, the VDIG supply must power up first. The GPIO_7 TMS Test access port mode select
VDDA_3P3, VDDA_1P8, and JESD_VTT_DES supplies GPIO_18 TCK Test clock
must then power up after the VDIG and VDDA_1P3 supplies.
Note that the VDD_IF supply can power up at any time. It is Table 10. JTAG Modes

JTAG BOUNDARY SCAN
The AD9371 provides support for a JTAG boundary scan.
There are five dual-function pins associated with the JTAG
interface. These pins, listed in Table 9, are used to access the
on-chip test access port. To enable the JTAG functionality,
set the GPIO_0 through GPIO_3 pins according to Table 10
depending on how the desired JESD204B sync pin (that is,
SYNCINB0+, SYNCINB0−, SYNCINB1+, SYNCINB1−,
SYNCBOUTB0+, or SYNCBOUTB0−) is configured in the
software (LVDS or CMOS mode). Pull the TEST pin high to
enable the JTAG mode.
