Broadband Data Converter Technical Presentation at CERN by e2v and ANATEC

12 September 2008

10:00 – 11:45, Room B Main Building.

Technical presentation e2v and ANATEC. e2v Grenoble (http://www.e2v.com) designs and manufactures standard and custom low latency and high speed ADCs that are true single core ADCs.

Sampling speeds without interleaving range from 500MSPS to beyond 2.2GSPS with resolution ranging from 8 bits to 10bits and input bandwidths exceed 2.5GHz.

With built-in interleaving feature some e2v multi-channel ADCs can reach 5GSPS sampling speed per device.

e2v is known to offer 8, 10 and 12 bit ADCs with very low latency, exceptional linearity at high input frequency, that is in the 2nd Nyquist zone and beyond for some devices.

This seminar will cover the following topics:

  • Overview of existing standard 8bit, 10bit and 12bit ADCs up to 5GSPS.
  • Key aspects of the e2v broadband ADC architecture.
    • Benefits of true single core ADCs without internal interleaving.
    • Choice of several possibilities to drive the ADC inputs, DC coupling at high speed is possible.
    • Benefits of programmable Gain, Offest and clock phase.
    • Handling ADC outputs when ADC cores operate faster than the DSP or FPGA I/Os.
    • A flexible Quad ADC architecture with a long list of built-in features.
  • Application examples using e2v ADCs.
  • Overview of e2v Broadband data converter evaluation boards.

Duration: 90 minutes

Place: Salle B Main Building (61/1-009).
