The AFE7444 is a quad-channel, wideband, RFsamplinganalog front end (AFE) based on 14-bit, 9-GSPS DACs and 14-bit, 3-GSPS ADCs. WithoperaTIon at an RF of up to 6 GHz, this deviceenables direct RF sampling into the C-bandfrequency range without the need for additionalfrequency conversions stages. This improvement indensity and flexibility enables high-channel-count,multimission systems.

The DAC signal paths support interpolation anddigital up conversion options that deliver up to 800MHz of signal bandwidth. The differential output pathincludes a digital step attenuator (DSA), whichenables tuning of output power.Each ADC input path includes a dual DSA and RFand Digital power detectors. Flexible decimationoptions provide optimization of data bandwidth.

An 8-lane (8 TX + 8 RX) subclass-1 compliantJESD204B interface operates at up to 15 Gbps. Abypassable on-chip PLL simplifies clock operationwith an optional clock output.

Analog front end for high-speed end equipments likephased-array radars, wireless communication testers,and electronic warfare require synchronized, multipletransceiver
signal chains. Each transceiver signalchain includes high-speed, analog-to-digital converters(ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and aclock subsystem. The clock subsystem provides lownoise sampling clocks with precise delay adjustment toachieve lowest channel-to-channel skew and optimumsystem performance like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), IMD3, effectivenumber of bits (ENOB), and so forth.
