Analog Devices has launched the AD6676 single chip wideband IF receiver subsystem, which allows designers of high-performance communications and instrumentation equipment to reduce the complexity of their receiver designs while simultaneously achieving frequency planning flexibility and industry leading instantaneous dynamic range.
The enabling technology behind the performance of the AD6676 is a highly programmable continuous-time bandpass sigma delta A/D converter (CTBPSD) topology which combines highly programmable analog filtering functionality with high dynamic range conversion. The implementation in deep sub-micron CMOS allows the advantages of oversampling techniques to be exploited on IF signals up to 160 MHz.
Analog Devices is also providing a comprehensive set of tools to ease adoption of this advanced technology. In addition to datasheets, evaluation boards and online technical support, ADI has created a live remote hardware drive capability that allows customers to run experiments on the AD6676 in real time.
