4-bit, 20 GSPS Analog to Digital Converter IP block

Overview

The A4B20G is a low-power, high-speed analog to digital converter (ADC) intellectual property (IP) design block. It is a flash-type ADC, with 4-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 20 gigasamples per second (GSPS).

The A4B20G is a unique solution that provides the dual benefit of reaching an extremely high sampling speed while maintaining an exceptionally low power consumption of 104 mW.

The cost-effective IP block has been designed and verified for FDSOI processes and validated at 28 nm FDSOI process.

The ADC IP is also available in a radiation-tolerant version, that can function under harsh environmental constraints.
