ADC34RF52IRTD

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADC34RF52IRTD is a quad-channel, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments. It operates at a sampling rate of 1.5 GSPS and supports RF sampling with input frequencies up to 2.5 GHz. The device features a single-core non-interleaved architecture with an aperture jitter of 50 fs. It includes integrated digital down-converters (DDCs) with 48-bit numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs) for phase-coherent frequency hopping in under 1 µs. Data output is provided via JESD204B serial interfaces supporting lane rates up to 13 Gbps with subclass 1 deterministic latency. Power consumption is 0.73 W per channel at 1.5 GSPS using 1x averaging.
