AD9276GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9276 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, The AD9276 requires a LVPECL-/CMOS-/LVDS-compatible and ease of use. It contains eight channels of a variable gain sample rate clock for full performance operation. No external amplifier (VGA) with a low noise preamplifier (LNA); an anti- reference or driver components are required for many applications. aliasing filter (AAF); a 12-bit, 10 MSPS to 80 MSPS analog-to- The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for digital converter (ADC); and an I/Q demodulator with the appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock (DCO±) for programmable phase rotation. capturing data on the output and a frame clock (FCO±) trigger Each channel features a variable gain range of 42 dB, a fully for signaling a new output byte are provided. differential signal path, an active input preamplifier termination, Powering down individual channels is supported to increase a maximum gain of up to 52 dB, and an ADC with a conversion battery life for portable applications. A standby mode option rate of up to 80 MSPS. The channel is optimized for dynamic allows quick power-up for power cycling. In CW Doppler opera- performance and low power in applications where a small tion, the VGA, AAF, and ADC are powered down. The power of package size is critical. the TGC path scales with selectable ADC speed power modes. The LNA has a single-ended-to-differential gain that is selectable The ADC contains several features designed to maximize flexibility through the SPI. The LNA input noise is typically 0.75 nV/√Hz and minimize system cost, such as a programmable clock, data at a gain of 21.3 dB, and the combined input-referred noise of alignment, and programmable digital test pattern generation. The the entire channel is 0.85 nV/√Hz at maximum gain. Assuming digital test patterns include built-in fixed patterns, built-in pseudo- a 15 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW) and a 21.3 dB LNA gain, the random patterns, and custom user-defined test patterns entered input SNR is roughly 92 dB. In CW Doppler mode, each LNA via the serial port interface. output drives an I/Q demodulator. Each demodulator has inde- pendently programmable phase rotation through the SPI with Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9276 is 16 phase settings. available in a 16 mm × 16 mm, RoHS compliant, 100-lead TQFP. It is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
