Breakthrough Direct RF-Sampling ADCs Revolutionize Radio Architectures
 




July 20, 2011 - Click here to view the newsletter archive. 








The industry's first direct RF-sampling ADC directly samples input frequencies 
beyond 2.7 GHz at up to 3.6 GSPS with excellent dynamic performance. The 
ADC12Dxx00RF replaces multiple analog components with a single chip, allowing 
radio designers to increase system capacity and flexibility while reducing 
board size, weight, and cost and simplifying the design process. A wide range 
of applications such as 3G/4G wireless basestations, microwave backhaul, 
military, and wideband software-defined radio (SDR) can now achieve the 
benefits that RF-sampling provides.

The RF-sampling family of ADCs improves upon the existing 12-bit GSPS ADCs by 
expanding the frequency range over which National’s superior dynamic range can 
be realized. The ADC12Dxx00RF delivers excellent noise and linearity 
performance at RF frequencies beyond the 7th Nyquist zone. These five new ADCs 
are available in speed grades ranging from dual-channel 500 MSPS to 
single-channel 3.6 GSPS. They are pin-compatible with the ADC12D1x00 and 
ADC10D1x00 families, enabling system designers to reuse a single design for 
multiple speed and resolution combinations.

Watch the video to learn more about how National is addressing the challenges 
of radio designers, including a demonstration of how these new ADCs enable 
RF-sampling in a basestation application and how they achieve performance that 
is not possible with existing ADC solutions.
