Yes, the Analog Device AD6620 is one of them, and it is used in that variety of 
SDRs that do A-to-D conversion directly 
at RF, then digitally down convert the numeric stream to a more manageable (for 
the PC) sampling rate.
The RFspace SDR-14 and SDR-IQ use that chip, as it does the newly announced 
QS1R by Phil Covington

Do you really need to do an FFT at 60 Msps ? And what will you do then with the 
frequency data ? That rate is way over 
what a PC can handle. You will be forced to use a hardware-only 
implementation...

Happy New 2007 to you too, and to all who are reading this.
