ZGAD250S14 from Zynalog, in a QFN-40(6x6). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD power_in 1.8V analog supply input; bypass to ground with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, and pins 1 and 2 may share one bypass capacitor.
2 VDD power_in 1.8V analog supply input; bypass to ground with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, and pins 1 and 2 may share one bypass capacitor.
3 GND power_in Power ground; the exposed pad on the back must be soldered to the PCB ground.
4 Vin+ power_in Positive differential analog input; the differential input must stay within 1.5V and be driven 180° out of phase with Vin-, using the VCM common-mode voltage.
5 Vin- power_in Negative differential analog input; the differential input must stay within 1.5V and be driven 180° out of phase with Vin+, using the VCM common-mode voltage.
6 GND power_in Power ground; the exposed pad on the back must be soldered to the PCB ground.
7 SENSE input External reference input: tie to VDD to select the internal reference (±0.75V input range), or drive with an external reference between 1.2V and 1.3V (±0.6*VSENSE input range).
8 VREF power_in Reference voltage output, nominally 1.25V; bypass to ground with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor.
9 VCM output Common-mode bias output, nominally 0.435*VDD; use it to set the common-mode bias of the analog inputs and bypass to ground with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
10 GND power_in Power ground; the exposed pad on the back must be soldered to the PCB ground.
11 CLK+ input Positive sampling clock input; conversion starts on the rising edge of the clock.
12 CLK- input Negative sampling clock input; conversion starts on the falling edge of the clock.
13 GND power_in Power ground; the exposed pad on the back must be soldered to the PCB ground.
14 OF- output Overflow/underflow LVDS output, complementary signal; OF+ is high when an overflow or underflow occurs.
15 OF+ output Overflow/underflow LVDS output; OF+ is high when an overflow or underflow occurs.
16 D0_1- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D0 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D1 while CLKOUT+ is high.
17 D0_1+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D0 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D1 while CLKOUT+ is high.
18 D2_3- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D2 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D3 while CLKOUT+ is high.
19 D2_3+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D2 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D3 while CLKOUT+ is high.
20 DVDD power_in 1.8V supply for the digital output drivers; bypass each DVDD pin to ground with a separate 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
21 DGND power_in Ground for the digital output drivers.
22 D4_5- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D4 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D5 while CLKOUT+ is high.
23 D4_5+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D4 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D5 while CLKOUT+ is high.
24 D6_7- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D6 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D7 while CLKOUT+ is high.
25 D6_7+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D6 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D7 while CLKOUT+ is high.
26 CLKOUT- output Data output clock LVDS, complementary; normally switches together with the falling and rising edges of CLKOUT+.
27 CLKOUT+ output Data output clock LVDS; normally switches on the falling and rising edges of the data outputs, and its phase can be delayed relative to the data by register programming.
28 D8_9- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D8 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D9 while CLKOUT+ is high.
29 D8_9+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D8 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D9 while CLKOUT+ is high.
30 DVDD power_in 1.8V supply for the digital output drivers; bypass each DVDD pin to ground with a separate 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
31 D10_11- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D10 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D11 while CLKOUT+ is high.
32 D10_11+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D10 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D11 while CLKOUT+ is high.
33 D12_13- output DDR LVDS data output, complementary: carries bit D12 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D13 while CLKOUT+ is high.
34 D12_13+ output DDR LVDS data output: carries bit D12 while CLKOUT+ is low and bit D13 while CLKOUT+ is high.
35 GND power_in Power ground; the exposed pad on the back must be soldered to the PCB ground.
36 SPI_MISO output SPI data output in serial mode (MODE=0); open-drain, requires a 2kΩ pull-up to the 1.8V to 3.3V SPI supply when registers are read back, and has no effect in parallel mode.
37 SPI_MOSI input SPI data input in serial mode (MODE=0); in parallel mode (MODE=VDD) it selects the LVDS output current, 3.5mA when low and 1.75mA when high at 1.8V to 3.3V logic levels.
38 SPI_SCLK input SPI clock input in serial mode (MODE=0); in parallel mode (MODE=VDD) it enables sleep mode when high at 1.8V to 3.3V logic levels.
39 SPI_CS input SPI chip select in serial mode (MODE=0); in parallel mode (MODE=VDD) it enables the clock duty cycle stabilizer when high at 1.8V to 3.3V logic levels.
40 MODE input Serial/parallel mode select: tie to GND for SPI mode or to VDD for parallel GPIO mode; it must be hard-wired to GND or VDD and not driven by a logic signal.
41 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
