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

Overview

The A6B20G is a low-power, high-speed analog to digital converter (ADC) intellectual property (IP) design block. It is a flash-type ADC, with 6-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 20 gigasamples per second (GSPS). It is a unique solution that provides an extremely high sampling rate, with a very low power consumption of only 376 mW.

It is the only IP core in this sampling rate class that is available with a high-speed input buffer, track and hold stage, and encoder -based full data rate output interface.

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