The Apollo mixed signal front-end (MxFE^®) is a highly integrated device with a 16-bit, 28 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC) core, and 12-bit, 20 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC) core. The AD9084 supports four transmit channels and four receive channels. The AD9084 is well suited for applications requiring both wideband ADCs and DACs to process signal(s) having wide instantaneous bandwidth. The device features a 48 lane, 32.5 Gbps JESD204C or 20 Gbps JESD204B data transceiver port, an on-chip clock multiplier, and a digital signal processing (DSP) capability targeted at either wideband or multiband, direct to RF applications. The AD9084 also features a bypass mode that allows the full bandwidth capability of the ADC and/or DAC cores to bypass the DSP datapaths. The device also features low latency loopback and frequency hopping modes targeted at phased array radar systems and electronic warfare applications.

The AD9084 is available in a 24 mm x 26 mm, 899-ball BGA and operates within the –40°C to +110°C junction temperature range. For additional information, contact ApolloSupport@analog.com.
