Clock Solution for High-Speed ADCs

This application report highlights the limiting agents associated with the clock source that adversely affect the ADC
signal-to-noise performance. The performance of the ADS5527 ADC clocked with the CDCE62005 is shown and compared to ideal baseline performance. Additional
improvement topologies are presented, along with measured results that show the CDCE62005 can meet or exceed the specifications at high sampling rates, and even at
the more demanding high input frequencies.
