Jazz Process Chosen: SBC35 (0.35µm SiGe BiCMOS)

Product: AT84AS001TP - EE Times ACE Award winner - World's Fastest Monolithic 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

Description: The AT84AS001TP is a 12-bit A/D Converter that can provide 500 Msps data conversion from a single monolithic chip. This breakthrough in ADC design allows system designers to accurately digitize intermediate frequency (IF) signals with frequencies up to 500 MHz at twice the sampling rate of conventional 12-bit ADCs. As a result of combining Jazz's high speed silicon technology and e2v's proprietary chip architecture, a new 12-bit ADC standard has been set without compromising on power consumption, dynamic range or linearity.

Target: These products are ideal for a wide range of applications including telecommunication infrastructure, high IF broadband digital receivers, test and measurement equipment, high speed data acquisition and radar and communications systems.

"Our broad range of modular AIMS technologies provides features that allow customers like e2v to deliver innovative products and achieve quick time to market. We look forward to continuing our relationship with e2v on its next-generation ADC products."
-- Marco Racanelli, VP, Technology & Engineering, Jazz
