Rockwell Scientific Introduces
6Bit 4GS/s Analog to Digital Converter
Fastest Commercially Available ADC for Ultra-Wideband Data Acquisition;
Enables Direct Capture of RF Signals up to 4GHz
THOUSAND OAKS,
CA, February 1, 2006 — Rockwell Scientific Company LLC (RSC),
a premier developer of high speed mixed signal circuits for commercial
and defense applications, announced today sample availability
of a 6Bit 4GS/s analog to digital converter — RAD004.
The RAD004
delivers the highest sampling rate for a 6Bit ADC available
today. This exceptional performance provides significant
benefits to developers of a variety of applications such as
automated test equipment, high-performance oscilloscopes, spectrum
analyzers,
and other applications requiring high sampling speed coupled
with high dynamic range performance. The RAD004 is usable in
the 1st and 2nd Nyquist band, and hence can capture signals
from DC to 4GHz. Better than 4 ENOB is obtained over the entire
bandwidth
when clocked at 4GHz. A 1:4 companion RDX004 DEMUX is also
being introduced reducing the output data rate to 1GBPS.
The RAD004
6Bit 4GS/s ADC monolithically integrates the sample-and-hold,
flash quantizer, psuedo-random number generator, and I/O
circuitry to deliver unmatched bandwidth. The output format of
the ADC
is graycode and the DEMUX will optionally convert to binary.
Both the ADC and DEMUX feature psuedo-random number output
to ensure data integrity.
"We are
creating enabling components that make tomorrow's high-performance
systems in RF and ATE possible," said Ron Latreille,
Manager of RSC's Mixed-Signal Product Marketing department. "This
is the perfect complement to our line of ultra-wideband
track/holds and DACs."
The RAD004
is packaged in an 88 lead ceramic quad flat pack (QFP). The RDX004
is packaged
224 ball grid array
(BGA).
Limited samples
and evaluation boards are available now. For more information,
