The JESD204 Story

Library: Article Series

As converter resolution and speed ramped up, designers needed a more efficient interface, which led to the creation of JESD204. This is a 12-part series about JESD204 about the protocol and how it will change how we design.

More articles will be added in the near future, and a PDF version will be available for download when the series is complete. Here is what we have so far:

• What Is JESD204 and Why We Should Pay Attention to It?
• High-Speed Converter Survival Guide: Digital Data Outputs
• JESD204B vs. Serial LVDS: Interface Considerations for Wideband Data Converter Apps
• Critical Design Issues for a Functioning JESD204B Interface
• Synchronizing Multiple ADCs Using JESD204B
• Three Key PHY Performance Metrics for a JESD204B Transmitter
