ADI and Escape Communications to demo 10 Gbps E-band radio solution at IMS2016

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) announced it will exhibit a complete 10 Gbps E-Band solution for point-to-point radio at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2016, booth 1519 in San Francisco, Calif., May 24–27. Delivering a 10 Gbps full signal chain solution is a milestone for the communication industry, enabling high bandwidth applications to operate entirely on wireless networks without the need for expensive fiber infrastructure. Analog Devices has partnered with Escape Communications Inc. to create a unique ecosystem that goes beyond components and provides a full solution for the customer.

Rail-to-Rail Output Operational Amplifiers: ADA4522-1 / -2 / -4

ADA4522-1The ADA4522-1 / ADA4522-2 / ADA4522-4 are single/dual/quad channel, zero drift op amps with low noise and power, ground sensing inputs, and rail-to-rail output, optimized for total accuracy over time, temperature, and voltage conditions. The wide operating voltage and temperature ranges, as well as the high open-loop gain and very low DC and AC errors make the devices well suited for amplifying very small input signals.

Configurable ADC/DAC: AD5592R

EVAL-AD5592R

The AD5592R and AD5592R-1 have eight I/Ox pins (I/O0 to I/O7) that can be independently configured as digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs, digital outputs, or digital inputs. AD5592R and AD5592R-1 have an integrated 2.5 V, 25 ppm/°C reference, which is turned off by default, an integrated temperature indicator, which gives an indication of the die temperature and are available in 16-ball, 2 mm x 2 mm WLCSPs and 16-lead, 3 mm x 3 mm LFCSPs.

Microwave Wideband Synthesizer: ADF5355

ADF5355The ADF5355 allows implementation of fractional-N or integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference frequency. The wideband microwave VCO design permits frequency operation from 6.8 to 13.6 GHz at one radio frequency (RF) output. Control of all on-chip registers is through a simple 3-wire interface.
