TI has introduced the ADS5400, a 12-bit, 1-GSPS ADC with
2.1 GHz input bandwidth that operates from both the 5-V
supply and 3.3-V supply, while providing LVDS-compatible
digital outputs. The ADS5400 enables to develop a small,
high-performance and high-density wide-bandwidth receivers
and digitizers, also provides twice the sample rate for
wireless communications, defense, and test and measurement
equipment applications.
TI says, the ADS5400 offers an unmatched signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) of 59 dBFS and 75-dBc spurious-free dynamic
range (SFDR) in first Nyquist, and 58 dBFS SNR and 70 dBc
SFDR performance for intermediate frequencies (IFs) beyond
1000 MHz. A fully buffered analog input isolates the onboard
sample and hold's internal switching to prevent disturbing
the signal source, while providing a high-impedance input.
The key features and specifications of ADS5400 ADC are,
7 to 8.5ns of ultra-low latency
Analog inputs robust to >10-VPP differential AC signal
Internal adjustments for gain, phase, and offset
1.5 - 2 VPP differential input voltage, programmable
2.15 W of total power dissipation
User-selectable single- or dual-bus DDR LVDS outputs provide
flexibility to choose between I/O speed and pin-count
The suggested applications for the ADS5400 ADC include
ultra-wide band software-defined radio, data acquisition,
power amplifier linearization, signal intelligence and jamming,
and radar.
"The ADS5400 has enabled our latest modular component,
the QuiXilica Atlas-V5 VXS board, to handle 12 GB/s of data
and generate a real-time result," comments Andrew Reddig,
Tekmicro's president and chief technology officer. "Our
launch customers are using the Atlas to create higher performance
solutions for critical applications that were unachievable
with previous A/D technology."
"Customers can use the ADS5400's ground-breaking combination
of resolution, sample rate and bandwidth to significantly
enhance applications in defense by improving radar and signal
intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities, and can double the capture
bandwidth of signals with 12-bit resolution in test and
measurement," said Art George, senior vice president
of TI's High-Performance Analog business unit.
