10-Bit ADCs Break 2.5 Gsample/s Barrier October 01, 2008
The EV10AS150 family of 10-bit ADCs samples at 2.5 Gsamples/s in the first and second Nyquist zones, a feat attributed to the company’s monolithic data converter design technology employing B7HF200 silicon from Infineon. With an input bandwidth of 4 GHz, the devices suit receiver applications such as direct-RF sampling, telecom test instrumentation, digitizer systems, automatic test equipment, wideband satellite receivers, and high-speed data storage. Other features include a SFDR greater than 60 dB, SNR of 51 dB, an ENOB of eight bits at 2.5 Gsamples/s, and a selectable ratio DMUX output, 1:2 or 1:4, for interfacing with industry-standard FPGAs. In November, samples of the EV10AS150 series will be available in 317-pin, 25 mm x 35 mm EBGA packages with commercial or industrial temperature ranges. E2V, Elmsford, NY. (800) 342-5338.
