GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9271 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use. It contains eight channels of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with low noise preamplifier (LNA); an antialiasing filter (AAF); and a 12-bit, 10 MSPS to 50 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

FEATURES

8 channels of LNA, VGA, AAF, and ADC

Low noise preamplifier (LNA)

Input-referred noise = 1.2 nV/√Hz @ 7.5 MHz typical
