Mouser now stocks ADI AD9081 and AD9082 MxFEs
Suitable for wireless applications such as cellular and radar


Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors, announced today that it is now stocking the AD9081 and AD9082 mixed-signal front-ends (MxFE™) from Analog Devices (ADI). These two multi-function RF converter platforms combine high-performance analog and digital signal processing for wireless applications such as LTE, 5G mmWave, phased-array radar systems, and electronic defense.

The ADI AD9081 is a highly integrated, reconfigurable RF MxFE product that integrates four 16-bit, 12 GSPS digital-to-analog (DAC) cores and four 12-bit, 4 GSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) cores. Eight transmit lanes and eight receive lanes provide 24.75 Gbps/lane JESD204C, 15.5 Gbps/lane JESD204B.

Available in two models, the AD9081 4D4AC model supports the full instantaneous channel bandwidth, while the AD9081 4D4AB model automatically configures the digital signal processor (DSP) to limit the bandwidth at startup, supporting up to 600 MHz of bandwidth per channel.

The ADI AD9082 integrates four 16-bit, 12 GSPS DAC cores and two 12-bit, 6 GSPS ADC cores. It supports eight transmit lanes and eight receive lanes, providing 24.75 Gbps/lane (JESD204C) or 15.5 Gbps/lane (JESD204B).

They are available in two models: a 4D2AC model supporting four DACs and two ADCs, and a 2D2AC model supporting two DACs and two ADCs. Both MxFE products feature an on-chip clock multiplier and DSP, and support a bypass mode that allows the full bandwidth performance of the ADC or DAC core to bypass the DSP data path.

The AD9081 and AD9082 products are supported by the 'AD9081-FMCA-EBZ' and 'AD9082-FMCA-EBZ' evaluation boards, respectively, which contain all the support circuitry required to operate the MxFE in various modes and configurations. These evaluation boards connect to the 'ADS9-V2EBZ' or 'ADS8-V3EBZ' evaluation boards, sold separately, for evaluation with ADI ACE software, and can also be integrated with FPGA development boards from Xilinx or Intel.
