A 16bit ADC operating at 250MSPS has been unveiled by Analog Devices. The AD9467 ADC is suitable for test and measurement instrumentation, defence electronics, and communications applications where high resolution over a wide bandwidth is needed. The ADC delivers resolution and a fast sample rate and achieves a high SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) of up to 100dBFs and SNR performance of 76.4dBFS. The device's SFDR of 90dBFS up to 300MHz analogue input and 60-femtosecond RMS jitter helps lower the signal chain bill of materials component count by allowing engineers to increase system performance at higher intermediate frequencies, thereby reducing the number of signal down-conversion stages. The ADC can be used with the company's AD9523/24 low-jitter clock generators and ADL5562 3.3GHz ultra-low distortion RF/IF differential amplifier to provide a data conversion signal chain solution.
