AD6636BBC

Overview

The AD6636BBC is a six-channel digital receive signal processor (RSP) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates as a wideband digital downconverter designed for IF sampling or oversampled baseband radios requiring high bandwidth input signals. The device integrates up/down conversion capabilities within a single integrated circuit. Key electrical specifications include an operating supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 1.9 V and 3 V to 3.6 V, with a maximum power dissipation of 975 mW. It supports a maximum data rate of 150 MSPS and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 256-contact CSPBGA package measuring 17x17 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent digital downconversion channels for simultaneous signal processing
• Supports direct intermediate frequency (IF) sampling architectures
• Designed for wideband input signal applications in cellular systems
• Provides embedded processing capabilities for complex modulation formats

Applications

• CDMA2000 base station receivers
• EDGE and GPRS infrastructure equipment
• GSM digital receiver front-ends
• Wideband software-defined radio platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BBCZ' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the 256-CSPBGA package type. Confirm that the supplier can provide the necessary environmental compliance certificates required for integration into regulated electronic assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multi-channel digital downconversion at 150 MSPS. It is suitable for applications demanding wideband IF sampling without external analog mixers. Consider the 256-pin CSPBGA footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 975 mW power dissipation against thermal management requirements for the target enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD6636 family of wideband digital receive signal processors. It serves as a specialized RF mixer IC intended for cellular infrastructure. The component replaces traditional discrete mixing stages by integrating multiple channels into a single silicon die. It is categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits for communication base stations.
