EV12AQ600
Quad 12bit 1.5 Gsps ADC with embedded
cross-point switch, Digitizing up to 6 GSps
Datasheet 1203 OVERVIEW
EV12AQ600 is a quad channel 12-bit 1.5 GSps ADC.
The built-in Cross-Point-Switch (CPS) allows multimode operation with the capability to interleave the
four independent cores in order to reach higher
sampling rates. In 4-channel operating mode, the four
cores can sample, in phase, four independent inputs
at 1.5 GSps. In 2-channel operating mode, the cores
are interleaved by 2 in order to reach 3 GSps
sampling rate on each of two inputs. In 1-channel
operating mode, a single input is propagated to each
of the four cores which are interleaved by 4 in order to
reach a sampling rate of 6 GSps. This high flexibility
enables digitization of IF and RF signals with up to 3
GHz of instantaneous bandwidth.
With an extended input bandwidth above 6 GHz
(EFPBW) the EV12AQ600 allows sampling of signals
directly in the C-band (4-8 GHz) without the need to
translate the signal to baseband through a downconversion stage.
The ADC includes a multiple ADC chained
synchronization feature to enable design of multichannel systems found in phased-array or MIMO …
