Overview

The ADS5400IPZP is a monolithic 12-bit, 1 GSPS analog-to-digital converter designed for wideband signals up to 2.1 GHz. It features an integrated analog input buffer and LVDS-compatible outputs, making it suitable for direct RF sampling and high-speed data acquisition systems.

Why Choose This Part

The device features an on-chip analog buffer that simplifies the interface to the signal source by providing constant input impedance. It is also designed for interleaving multiple units with internal adjustments for gain, phase, and offset to minimize artifacts in multi-ADC systems.

Applications

Wideband Digital Receivers
Utilizing the 2.1 GHz bandwidth for direct sampling of high-frequency communications signals.
Radar and Electronic Warfare
High sampling rates allow for precise pulse detection and signal analysis in defense applications.
Test and Measurement
Integrated into high-speed digitizers and oscilloscopes requiring 12-bit resolution at gigasample rates.

Getting Started

Designers should utilize the ADS5400EVM evaluation module to verify performance and interface with an FPGA-based capture system. High-speed PCB layout techniques are critical, specifically regarding the HTQFP PowerPAD for thermal dissipation and the 0.5mm pitch LVDS routing.
