ASNT6171-KMO

Overview

The ASNT6171-KMO is a dual 15-tap analog FIR filter fabricated in SiGe technology. It processes two differential analog signals with a bandwidth of DC to 20Gbps (10GHz). The device features fully controlled tap weights and polarity, adjustable gain up to 14dB, and independent power supplies for analog and digital sections. Power consumption is less than 2.65W. It utilizes a dual 3-wire SPI interface for configuration and includes an error detector block.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture with 15 fully controllable taps per channel for precise analog signal equalization
• High-speed operation supporting data rates up to 20Gbps with fully differential CML input and output interfaces
• Integrated error detection circuitry that monitors signal deviation from ideal pulse shapes
• Independent calibration blocks for initial gain and frequency response adjustment of internal buffers

Applications

• High-speed serial link equalization
• Analog signal processing in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring wideband filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant when ordering, as the datasheet notes an optional custom CQFP 64-pin package configuration. Confirm that the KMO suffix corresponds to the intended pinout and manufacturer specifications provided by ADSANTEC. Ensure supply voltage requirements match the specified 3.3V analog and 1.3V digital rails before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring wideband analog FIR filtering with high-speed data handling capabilities. Consider the SiGe fabrication for performance and reliability needs. Evaluate the power budget against the maximum consumption rating of 3.0W and thermal management requirements due to the die size and heat slug design.

Part Context

The ASNT6171 series represents a family of advanced analog FIR filters designed for high-performance signal processing. Manufactured by Advanced Science And Novel Technology Company, Inc., these devices utilize Silicon Germanide (SiGe) technology to achieve high bandwidth and yield. The KMO designation specifically identifies the package type and pin configuration within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the source documentation. Designers should consult ADSANTEC directly for potential cross-references or updated model equivalents.
