E2V: Ahead of the entire planet. Gigahertz ADC / DAC

The development of electronics goes in several directions. One of them is an increase in operating frequencies. And if 10-15 years ago ADC / DAC could only be found in IF paths, now it is possible to directly digitize microwave signals up to 4 GHz, and their direct synthesis - up to 24 GHz. One of the undisputed market leaders in this segment is a division of Teledyne E2V , which successfully competes with similar products from Analog Devices and Texas Instruments .





The Teledyne E2V ADC / DAC division is based in Grenoble, France. As you know, for the supply of high-tech microcircuits, as a rule, you need a license. ADC / DAC is no exception, although some 8/10-bit models are shipped without it. In any case, it is usually much easier to obtain a European license than an American one.





Let's consider a number of innovations and applications for the products of this company.





1. One core means one core!





One way to increase the speed of the ADC is interleaving. But, everything in this life has a price. This usually leads to the appearance of spurious components in the spectrum. Therefore, some unscrupulous manufacturers are silent about this. But this is not Teledyne E2V !
