Increasing clock speeds, coupled with high-frequency bus and interface data rates, make pc board design significantly more challenging. Engineers have to look beyond the design of the actual logic on the board to other factors that can affect circuits, such as board size, environmental noise, power consumption ...

High Performance, 12-Bit, 500 MSPS Wideband Receiver with Antialiasing Filter
Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:04:00 +0200
This application note highlights a wideband receiver front end based on the ADA4960-1 ultralow noise differential amplifier driver and the AD9434 12-bit, 500 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The third-order Butterworth antialiasing filter is optimized based on the performance and interface requirements of the amplifier and ADC. The total insertion loss due to the filter network, transformer, and other resistive components is only 1.2 dB. The overall circuit has a bandwidth of 290 MHz with a pass-band flatness of 1 dB. The SNR and SFDR measured with a 140 MHz analog input are 64.1 dBFS and 70.4 dBc, respectively.
