Richardson RFPD Combined DAC-ADC AD9081BBPZ-4D4AB

The AD9081 mixed signal front end (MxFE®) is a highly integrated device with device with four 16-bit, 12 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC) cores, and four 12-bit, 4 GSPS rate, RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC) cores. The AD9081 is well suited for applications requiring both wideband ADCs and DACs to process signal(s) having wide instantaneous bandwidth. The device features eight transmit and eight receive lanes that support 24.75 Gbps/lane JESD204C or 15.5 Gbps/lane JESD204B standards. The device also has an on-chip clock multiplier, and a digital signal processing (DSP) capability targeted at either wideband or multiband direct to RF applications. The DSP datapaths can be bypassed to allow a direct connection between the converter cores and the JESD204 data transceiver port. The device also features low latency loopback and frequency hopping modes targeted at phase array radar system and electronic warfare applications. Two models for the AD9081 are offered. The 4D4AC model supports the full instantaneous channel bandwidth, whereas the 4D4AB model supports a maximum instantaneous bandwidth of 600 MHz per channel by automatically configuring the DSP to limit the instantaneous bandwidth at startup.
