DALLAS, Dec. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI)
(NYSE: TXN) today introduced a monolithic 12-bit, 500 MSPS (mega samples per
second) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) providing unmatched size and
performance. The new pipeline ADC offers 64.5 dBFS signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) up to 500 MHz input frequency at 500 MSPS, bringing a new class of
performance to customers previously confined to 8- and 10-bits of resolution.
In a space-saving 14 mm x 14 mm package, the new ADC meets the resolution and
speed requirements of applications such as communications, amplifier
linearization, test and measurement instrumentation, software-defined radio
and radar and imaging systems. ( http://www.ti.com/sc06210 )

Manufactured in TI’s proprietary BiCom3 process technology optimized for
high speed and low noise, the ADS5463 provides 84 dBc SFDR, 10.5 ENOB and an
input bandwidth of 2 GHz while only consuming 2.25 watts of power. The ADC
includes an internal reference generator and LVDS outputs with a half-clock
rate, data-ready signal to simplify designs. In addition, the ADS5463 is a
pin-compatible family member to TI’s 13-bit, 250/210 MSPS ADS5444/ADS5440
and provides increased benefits to the system such as the following:
-- Improved power amplifier linearization for digital pre-distortion (DPD)
solutions
-- Enhanced resolution for radar and advanced imaging
-- Implementation of more standards in software-defined radios
-- Direct IF sampling or elimination of an IF stage in multi-carrier
receivers
-- Advanced system performance for test and measurement
TI provides customers a state-of-the-art signal chain to complement the
ADS5463 including high-speed amplifiers (THS4304, THS4509, THS4511,
THS9000/9001), high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DAC5687) and a clock
synchronizer and jitter cleaner (CDCM7005). The ADS5463 is also optimized to
work with TI’s TMS320(TM) high-performance DSP platforms.
TI offers analog engineers a wide-ranging support infrastructure that
includes training and seminars, design tools and utilities, technical
documentation, evaluation modules, an online KnowledgeBase, a product
information hotline and a comprehensive offering of samples that ship within
24 hours of request. For more information on TI’s complete analog design
