- e2v's new 10-bit 3 Gsps Demultiplexer (DMUX) eliminates Gigahertz data rate bottleneck
- date added : 15 February 2010
e2v’s new EV10CS140TPY series is the latest in e2v’s proprietary single core high speed bipolar architecture that enables digital designers to process a 10-bit 3 Gsps data stream from an analogue-to-digital converter’s digital output down to standard DSP or FPGA digital processor speeds via a 1:2 or 1:4 selectable de-multiplexer ratio. Applications include high speed data storage, test instrumentation, Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), Gigabit Ethernet and software defined radio.
The 10-bit 3 Gsps DMUX can be used as a stand-alone device for digital processing, or as a companion chip for e2v high speed analogue-to-digital converters (ADC), thanks to its ability to track the ADC output sampling rate over a wide operating frequency and temperature range. With the EV10CS140TP Series LVDS buffers, the DMUX can easily interface into standard 100 ohm differentially terminated FPGAs or DSPs.
User-friendly features include timing synchronization, performed via an ASYNCRST control input for a master asynchronous reset, selectable Data Ready modes (DR and DR/2) for reducing the input clock speed by 50% and selectable data outputs (Staggered and Simultaneous modes) for reducing the data output by 50%. A (BIST) self-test and power-down mode is available with a power consumption of 1.9W.
Andrew Benn, Product Marketing Manager of e2v’s Specialist Semiconductors division commented: "Availability of our 10-bit 3 Gsps DMUX now allows digital and analogue designers to take full advantage of next generation applications where Gigahertz data rates are beyond the performance of current industry standard DSPs and FPGAs”. Adding: ”this high performance 10-bit 3Gsps DMUX reaffirms e2vs commitment to providing state-of-the-art components for today’s high data rate challenges at board level”.
The EV10CS140TP Series is now available in Industrial (-40°C < Ta < 85°C) RoHS grade versions in an Enhanced Ball Grid Array (EBGA) 240 pin package (25x25 mm).
