Hittite Microwave has introduced a two channel 8bit 450Msample/s ADC with interleaving for 900Msample/s conversion, from either input.
Called HMCAD1512, it is aimed at point-to-point microwave links and digital oscilloscopes.
At full speed operation, a signal-to-noise ratio of 49dB (full scale) is to be expected with a 170MHz input.
Power dissipation
"Total power dissipation at full speed operation is only 650mW, including I/O," said the firm. "This performance to power ratio makes the part a perfect choice for low power high performance devices, including handheld and portable test equipment."
Internal resolution is 13bit "providing a digital gain of 1X to 50X", said Hittite. "Subsequently, the full scale range of operation can be varied from 2Vp-p down to 63mVp-p.
Package is a 7x7mm 48pin QFN.
Samples and evaluation boards are available from stock.
