ADC1xDxxxx(RF)RB Reference Board
1 Overview
The ADC1xDxxxx(RF)RB demonstrates a high-performance signal acquisition sub-system that achieves
10/12-bit resolution and corresponding SNR and dynamic range on two channels at signal frequencies in
excess of 1.0 GHz and sampling rates of up to 1.8 GS/s on two channels or one channel at a sampling
rate of up to 3.6 GHz.
Since the 10- and 12-bit GSPS ADC family is pin-compatible, the same PCB is able to support the
following devices:
• ADC12D1800RF, ADC12D1600RF, ADC12D800RF
• ADC12D1800, ADC12D1600
• ADC10D1500
In some cases, the same board may be used to evaluate two different products, with the addition of an
external signal generator. For example, to evaluate the ADC10D1000, use the ADC10D1500RB with an
external clock signal generator running at 1GHz. The table below shows which Reference Board (RB) to
use to evaluate which product.
