GF 6-bit, 10 GSPS Analog to Digital Converter IP block

Overview

The A6B10G 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 10 gigasamples per second (GSPS).

The A6B10G is a unique solution that provides the dual benefit of reaching an extremely high sampling speed while maintaining an exceptionally low power consumption of approximately 212 mW, making it a perfect fit for designs with high efficiency, low power and high performance requirements.

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.
