SD4246

Overview & Features

The SD4246 is a dual-channel, 14-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) supporting sampling rates up to 160MSps. The device uses a multistage pipeline architecture to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and linearity, over wide input signal bandwidth. The SD4246 can be set to operate using either CMOS or LVDS output interface. Programming for configuration and control is accomplished using a 4-wire SPI-compatible serial bus. The digital output data can be programmed to be delivered in offset binary, twos complement format, or gray code.

Features

* SNR: 74.0dBFS at fIN = 70.2MHz and fS = 160MSps

* -155.1dBFS/Hz input-noise at fIN = 70.2MHz and fS = 160MSps
* 2.0V nominal input
* Typical power consumption: 500mW at 160MSps
* Integer 1-to-8 input clock divider (1000MHz maximum input rate)
* Sample rates of up to 160MSps
* 1.8V analog supply voltage
* LVDS (ANSI-644 levels) outputs
