AD1520 1.5GSPS 8-bit ADC

AD1520 1.5GSPS 8-bit ADC

The AD1520 is a second generation 1.5GSPS ADC XMC module and follows on from the AD1500. The AD1520 uses a newer generation ADC device and key benefits include increase full power bandwidth (from 1.5 to over 2GHz) and general improvement in ENOB, SFDR and SNR. The AD1520 closely couples a high performance Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA to a dual channel high-speed analog input front end providing both processing and up to 1.5GSPS acquisition (per channel) in a single XMC/PMC card. The combination of a user programmable FPGA, data I/O sub-systems and multiple banks of fast memory provides a powerful platform for acquiring and processing high-speed data in one board.
