The AFX010x Product Family is a sophisticated lineup of analog front-end ICs designed for benchtop and portable data-acquisition systems. Each product within this family boasts up to four channels, delivering resolutions up to 16-bit and sampling rates up to 5 GS/s. A key feature is the digitally-selectable 3dB bandwidth, ranging up to 300MHz, complemented by an integrated single-to-differential amplifier and offset DAC.
This family represents cutting-edge innovation, tailored for applications demanding minimal power consumption, superior signal fidelity, high sampling frequencies, broad bandwidth, and heightened integration levels. Each channel is meticulously designed, encompassing programmable input capacitance, a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) for single-ended to differential outputs, an offset DAC, an ADC, and an integrated digital processor. The compact design of these solutions, housed in a standard 12 mm × 12 mm, 196-Ball BGA package, ensures easy integration with existing systems.
An integral part of these products is the SCCORETM technology, which significantly cuts down on PCB space and slashes power requirements by up to 50%. These AFEs achieve standardization with features such as an on-chip clock synthesizer and voltage reference, combined with low power usage of 425 mW per channel at peak sampling rates. They support various high-resolution data acquisition applications, enabling versatile use in USB & PC-based oscilloscopes, benchtop digital storage oscilloscopes, and more complex diagnostic tools.
