The AD9207 is a dual, 12-bit, 6 GSPS analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). The ADC input features an on-chip wideband buffer with
overload protection. This device is designed to support applications
capable of direct sampling wideband signals up to 8 GHz. An on-
chip, low phase noise, phase-locked loop (PLL) clock synthesizer
is available to generate the ADC sampling clock, which simplifies
the printed circuit board (PCB) distribution of a high frequency
clock signal. A clock output buffer is available to transmit the ADC
sampling clock to other devices.
The dual ADC cores have code error rates (CER) better than
2 × 10−15. Low latency fast detection and signal monitoring are
available for automatic gain control (AGC) purposes. A flexible
192-tap programmable finite impulse response filter (PFIR) is avail-
able for digital filtering and/or equalization. Programmable integer
and fractional delay blocks support compensation for analog delay
mismatches.
► Configurable DDC
► 8 fine complex DDCs and 4 coarse complex DDCs
► 48-bit NCO per DDC
► Option to bypass fine and coarse DDC
► Programmable 192-tap PFIR filter for receive equalization
► Supports 4 different profile settings loaded via the GPIOx pins
► Programmable delay per datapath
► Receive AGC support
► Fast detect with low latency for fast AGC control
► Signal monitor for slow AGC control
► Dedicated AGC support pins
The digital signal processing (DSP) block consists of two coarse
digital downconverters (DDCs) and four fine DDCs per ADC pair.
Each ADC can operate with one or two main DDC stages in
support of multiband applications. The four additional fine DDC
stages are available to support up to four bands per ADC. The
48-bit numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs) associated with
each DDC support fast frequency hopping (FFH) while maintaining
synchronization with up to 16 unique frequency assignments select-
ed via the general-purpose input and output (GPIOx) pins or the
serial port interface (SPI).
► Auxiliary features
► Fast frequency hopping
► ADC clock driver with selectable divide ratios
► On-chip temperature monitoring unit
► Flexible GPIOx pins
► SERDES JESD204B/JESD204C interface, 8 lanes up to
24.75 Gbps
The AD9207 supports one or two JTx links that can be configured
for either JESD204B or JESD204C subclass operation, which al-
lows different datapath configurations for each ADC. Multidevice
synchronization is supported through the SYSREF± input pins.
