RF Sampling 4-GSPS ADC Reference Design with 8-GHz DC-Coupled Differential Amplifier

TIDA-00431

Design files

Overview

Wideband radio frequency (RF) receivers allow greatly increased flexibility in radio designs. The wide instantaneous bandwidth allows flexible tuning without changing hardware and the ability to capture multiple channels at widely separated frequencies.

This reference design describes a wideband RF receiver utilizing a 4-GSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC), with an 8-GHz, DC-coupled, fully differential amplifier front end. The amplifier front end provides signal gain and allows capture of signals down to DC, which is not possible with a balun-coupled input.

Features
  • 2 GHz Bandwidth RF Sampling Solution
  • Supports DC Coupled Input
  • Supports Single Ended or Differential Input
  • Complete clocking solution
  • Complete power solution
