SAM1600

 

New! Samplify SAM1600 Family!

 

World’s lowest-power, highest channel count 12-bit ADC with Samplify’s PrismTM data compression reduces I/O pin count and power consumption in ultrasound equipment and WiMax wireless base stations.

 

The SAM1600 is an innovative family of true 16-channel, 12-bit, 65 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) ICs with integrated data compression technology. The SAM1600 family boasts industry-leading power consumption in a 16-channel, 12-bit device of just 44 mW per channel. The performance of the SAM1600 family is further enhanced by the integration of Samplify’s patented PrismTM data compression technology which reduces the number of LVDS I/O pairs (in some applications from 16 pairs to as few as 4), and thereby the power they consume, by up to 75% for high channel density applications.

 

The SAM1600 family includes the SAM1610, SAM1605, and SAM1600:

 

The 16-channel SAM1610 and 8-channel SAM1605 combine 12-bit, 45/65 MSPS ADCs with Samplify’s patented PrismTM signal compression and patent-pending port concentration technology.

 

The SAM1610/00 have 16 truly independent ADC channels, keeping crosstalk below the noise floor of the ADC. In contrast, the SNR performance of pseudo-16 channel devices, which time-share an ADC across two analog input channels, is limited by crosstalk.

 

For systems not yet ready to exploit the benefits of compression, Samplify offers the SAM1600 in a traditional ADC configuration, allowing designers to take full advantage of the SAM1600’s higher channel density and lower power. The SAM1600 can also be configured as two independent octal ADCs with separate frame and clock outputs to maintain compatibility with legacy FPGA or ASIC designs.

 

SAM1600 Family Summary:

 

SAM1600

 

All members of the SAM1600 family are packaged in a 12mm x 12mm 196 ball grid array.

 

Typical Applications

 

  • Ultrasound front-ends (portable / handheld / console)
  • 4G wireless base stations
  • Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
  • RADAR/SONAR Receivers

 

Compression

 

The PrismTM compression engine in the SAM1610/05 is fully compatible with Samplify’s existing FPGA intellectual property (IP) and software-based decompression blocks, enabling compression to be used throughout the entire signal chain.

 

Port Concentration

 

All members of the SAM1600 family offer Samplify’s patent-pending port concentration technology which maintains the full-rate 800 Mbps serialized LVDS I/O bandwidth, all the time thus reducing the number of LVDS I/O without using compression.
