EV12AQ600 Quad 12bit 1.5 Gsps ADC with embedded cross-point switch, Digitizing up to 6 GSps Datasheet 1203 OVERVIEW EV12AQ600 is a quad channel 12-bit 1.5 GSps ADC. The built-in Cross-Point-Switch (CPS) allows multimode operation with the capability to interleave the four independent cores in order to reach higher sampling rates. In 4-channel operating mode, the four cores can sample, in phase, four independent inputs at 1.5 GSps. In 2-channel operating mode, the cores are interleaved by 2 in order to reach 3 GSps sampling rate on each of two inputs. In 1-channel operating mode, a single input is propagated to each of the four cores which are interleaved by 4 in order to reach a sampling rate of 6 GSps. This high flexibility enables digitization of IF and RF signals with up to 3 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth. With an extended input bandwidth above 6 GHz (EFPBW) the EV12AQ600 allows sampling of signals directly in the C-band (4-8 GHz) without the need to translate the signal to baseband through a down-conversion stage. The ADC includes a multiple ADC chained synchronization feature to enable design of multichannel systems found in phased-array or MIMO applications. The EV12AQ600 enables the qualification of a single component which is capable of meeting a wide variety of application needs from single to multi-channel, from baseband to more than 6 GHz of input bandwidth. The latency is 126 system clock cycles. The device is built in a non-hermetic flip-chip package using HiTCE glass ceramic material in order to reach optimized RF performance and higher pin density. This circuit is designed, manufactured and will be qualified to be compliant with ESCC (European Space Components Coordination) and QML-Y space requirements.
