With a high signal-to-noise ratio, the device has a noise floor of -159dBFS/Hz for applications aiming for dynamic range over a wide bandwidth. Available in a 10 x 10mm package, the device supports the JESD204B serial interface with data rates up to 10Gbit/s, supporting two or four lanes per converter and simplifying connections to processors and FPGAs.
The buffered analogue input provides uniform input impedance across a wide frequency range while minimising sample and hold glitch energy. Each A/D converter channel can be connected to a wideband digital down converter block. The ADS54J60 is said to provide excellent spurious free dynamic range of 86dBc over a large input frequency range with low power consumption, allowin weak signals to be detected in the presence of large, unwanted blockers.
