Texas Instruments ADC32RF44 Dual-Channel 14-Bit ADCs

Texas Instruments ADC32RF44 Dual-Channel, 14-Bit, 2.6GSPS RF-Sampling Analog-to-Digital Converters offer input frequencies up to 4GHz and are designed for high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). The ADC32RF44 delivers a noise spectral density of –154.2dBFS/Hz and a dynamic range, including channel isolation over a large input frequency range. The buffered analog input with on-chip termination minimizes sample-and-hold glitch energy, resulting in uniform input impedance across a wide frequency range. Phase-coherent frequency hopping occurs as each ADC channel is connected to a dual-band, digital down-converter (DDC) with up to three independent, 16-bit numerically-controlled oscillators (NCOs) per DDC.

The device features front-end peak and RMS power detectors and alarm functions to support external automatic gain control (AGC) algorithms. The JESD204B serial interface with subclass 1-based deterministic latency is also supported using data rates up to 12.5Gbps with up to four lanes per ADC. An industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C is supported by the Texas Instruments ADC32RF44 Analog-to-Digital Converters.
