New 10-bit 2.5 Gsps ADC from e2v for RF sampling apps

e2v has introduced the EV10AS150ATP series, a new 10-bit 2.5 Gsps Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) incorporated with 5GHz analog input bandwidth for operation over the L-band and S-band frequencies.

e2v's EV10AS150ATP series provide 10-bit 2.5 Gsps performance of 60 dB spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) and 52dB of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), IMD3 of 60dBc and an Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) of 8.1 bits at an unprecedented 2.5 Gsps for direct sampling in intermediate and high RF sampling applications such as high speed test instrumentation, automatic test equipment (ATE), high speed data storage, software defined radio, radar and flight simulators and wideband satellite receivers.

e2v says Analog and mixed signal designers now have the ability to process instantaneously 1GHz of IF analog signal without the need for multiple down-conversion stages.

Thierry Gouvernel, General Manager of e2v's Broadband Data Converters, Microprocessors & Services (BMS) business unit commented: "Availability of our qualified, in-production, 10-bit 2.5Gsps ADC adds exciting new design possibilities for design engineers coping with the challenges of improving receiver performance, while reducing system complexity and cost. We are really excited about the opportunity to premiere the EV10AS150ATP Series ADC at the International Radar Conference, RADAR'09 in Bordeaux France, from October 12th to the 16 th."

The EV10AS150ATP Series is now available in Commercial (Ta > 0°C, TJ < 90°C) and Industrial (Ta > -40°C, TJ <110°C) grade versions

Package: 25x35 mm Enhanced Ball Grid Array (EBGA) 317 pin package
Availability: Now
