The A12B5G is a low-power, high-speed
analog to digital converter (ADC)
intellectually property (IP) design block. It is
a hybrid successive approximation register
(SAR) ADC, with a 12-bit resolution, and a
sampling speed of 5 gigasamples per
second (GSPS).
The A12B5G is a unique solution that
provides the dual benefit of reaching a high
bandwidth of 6 GHz, while maintaining low
power consumption at 49mW, making it a
perfect fit for designs with low power and
high performance requirements
The ADC IP also features a power scaling
capability, where the power consumption
can be further lowered when operating at
slower sampling rates. For example, at 2.5
GSPS the power is 25 mW, barely half the
power consumption of the maximum
speed.
The advanced IP block has been designed
and verified for the GF22FDX fabrication
process with FDSOI technology to provide
superior performance/power specifications.
