ADI AD9288BSTZ-80

The AD9288BSTZ-80 provides dual 8-bit 80 MSPS ADC performance optimized for aerospace radar and electronic warfare applications where low power consumption and cost-effectiveness determine system viability. You get 47 dB SNR at 41 MHz with a 475 MHz full-power bandwidth that handles wideband radar returns and electronic warfare signals. This dual ADC operates from a single +3.0 V supply with separate digital output driver support for both 3.3 V and 2.5 V CMOS interfaces, giving you flexibility in system timing and EMI management. The integrated on-chip reference and track-and-hold circuits simplify board-level design while maintaining excellent performance across the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

Dual-Channel 8-Bit Pipeline ADC Architecture for Aerospace Radar Systems

Two independent 8-bit ADC channels digitize at 80 MSPS through a monolithic sampling architecture with on-chip track-and-hold circuits. The 475 MHz full-power bandwidth enables capture of wideband radar returns and electronic warfare signals with minimal signal degradation. Each channel can operate independently, enabling flexible system architectures for diversity reception and I/Q demodulation in radar and electronic warfare systems. The on-chip reference voltage source eliminates external reference components in many designs, reducing component count and board space requirements. Low power consumption of 90 mW per channel makes this device ideal for power-constrained aerospace and defense applications where battery operation or thermal management is critical.

AD9288BSTZ-80 vs AD9268BSTZ-80: Resolution and Power Comparison

Pin-compatible dual ADC options from Analog Devices offer different resolution and power characteristics optimized for specific application requirements. The comparison table below shows the key differences between the 8-bit AD9288 and the 16-bit AD9268 at 80 MSPS sampling rate.

If your application requires low power consumption and cost-effectiveness for radar and electronic warfare systems where 8-bit resolution is sufficient, the AD9288 provides significant power savings with 90 mW per channel consumption compared to 750 mW total for the 16-bit device. For applications requiring higher resolution, better dynamic range, and wider bandwidth up to 300 MHz IF sampling, the AD9268 offers superior performance characteristics with 16-bit resolution. Both devices maintain the industrial temperature range and support dual-channel operation, enabling easy migration based on system power budget and resolution requirements. For complete transceiver integration with both transmit and receive functionality in a single device, the AD9176BBPZ and AD9081BBPZ-4D4AC handle both sides of the signal chain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Is the Difference Between AD9288BSTZ-80 and AD9268BSTZ-80 for Radar Applications?

These two devices offer dual ADC functionality from Analog Devices but are optimized for different application requirements with significant differences in resolution, power consumption, and package type. The AD9288 is an 8-bit ADC consuming 90 mW per channel (180 mW total) at 80 MSPS with 47 dB SNR at 41 MHz input frequency, using a single +3.0 V supply (2.7 V to 3.6 V) in a 48-lead LQFP package. The AD9268 is a 16-bit ADC consuming 750 mW total at 80 MSPS with 78.2 dBFS SNR at 70 MHz, using a 1.8 V supply in a 64-lead LFCSP package. For radar and EW systems where power consumption is critical and 8-bit resolution provides adequate dynamic range for the application, the AD9288 offers significant power savings and cost advantages. For applications requiring higher resolution, better dynamic range, and wider bandwidth up to 300 MHz IF sampling, the AD9268 provides the necessary performance advantage.

Does AD9288BSTZ-80 Support On-Chip Reference Voltage?

Yes, this device features an on-chip reference voltage source with reference voltage typically ranging from 1.2 V to 1.3 V. The integrated reference eliminates the need for external reference components in many applications, reducing component count and board space requirements. The on-chip reference, combined with the track-and-hold circuits, simplifies system design and reduces overall bill of materials for radar receiver front ends and electronic warfare digitizers. For applications requiring different reference voltages or higher precision, external reference options can be implemented, though the integrated reference provides adequate performance for most aerospace and defense applications.

What Is the Power Consumption of AD9288BSTZ-80 at 80 MSPS?

The device consumes 90 mW per channel (180 mW typical total when both channels are operating) at the maximum 80 MSPS conversion rate with the +3.0 V analog supply and 3.3 V digital driver supply. This represents significantly lower power consumption compared to 16-bit ADCs at the same sampling rate, making the AD9288 ideal for power-constrained aerospace and defense applications. Flexible standby modes allow significant power savings when desired, including single-channel standby mode for applications where only one channel is continuously required. The low power consumption enables battery operation or reduced thermal management requirements in tightly packed avionics chassis.

Can AD9288BSTZ-80 Operate with 2.5 V or 3.3 V CMOS Outputs?

Yes, this dual ADC supports both 3.3 V and 2.5 V CMOS output interfaces through the separate digital output driver supply. The separate output supply pin enables interfacing with logic families operating at different voltage levels, providing flexibility in system timing and EMI management. The 3.3 V CMOS mode provides traditional parallel output compatibility with existing FPGA and processor interfaces, while the 2.5 V CMOS mode offers reduced power consumption for low-power avionics systems. The output data format is configurable to support twos complement or offset binary coding, enabling flexible interfacing with various digital processing platforms used in aerospace and defense systems.
