1.0 Overview

The ADC12D1X00RFRB demonstrates a high-performance signal acquisition sub-system that

achieves 12-bit resolution and corresponding SNR and dynamic range on two channels at

signal frequencies in excess of 1.0 GHz and sampling rates of at least 1.6/1.8 GS/s or one

channel at a sampling rate of 3.2/3.6 GHz. The board showcases the following National

Semiconductor devices:

• ADC12D1X00RF analog-to-digital converter

• LMX2531 clock synthesizer

• LP3878 and LP38513-ADJ linear LDO regulators

• LM20242, LM25576 and LM26400 switching regulators

• LM3880 power sequencing controller

• LM95233 temperature sensor

In addition, the board also employs the Xilinx XC4VLX25-11FFG668 Virtex-4 FPGA for the

critical function of capturing the high-speed digital data sourced by the ADC.
