Abstract :
Interleaving multiple ADCs is a useful technique for increasing overall conversion sample rate, however precautions must be taken when using the technique. This paper discusses the issues and parameters that need to be accounted for in the employment of interleaved conversion systems. The paper then describes a new quad data acquisition component for communication and instrumentation systems. The EV8AQ165 is a high bandwidth, high sample rate, 4 core converter. The converter can sample at 5GSps in interlaced mode and has an input bandwidth of 3.2GHz. Features of this component will be presented along with characterization results and its use in communication systems will be highlighted.
