ADC12J4000NKER

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADC12J4000NKER is a dual-channel, 12-bit RF-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports sampling rates up to 4 GSPS and integrates digital downconverters (DDCs). The device utilizes a JESD204B interface for high-speed data transmission. Key electrical parameters include a resolution of 12 bits per channel and a maximum sample rate of 4 gigasamples per second. It operates with specific analog and digital supply voltages required for high-frequency performance.
