GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9276 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use. It contains eight channels of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a low noise preamplifier (LNA); an antialiasing filter (AAF); a 12-bit, 10 MSPS to 80 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC); and an I/Q demodulator with programmable phase rotation.
