GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADAR7251 is a 16-bit, 4-channel, simultaneous sampling
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed especially for
applications such as automotive LSR-FMCW or FSK-FMCW
radar systems. Each of the four channels contains a low noise
amplifier (LNA), a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), an
equalizer, a multibit Σ-Δ ADC, and a decimation filter.
The front-end circuitry is designed to allow direct connection
to an MMIC output with few external passive components. The
ADAR7251 eliminates the need for a high order antialiasing
filter, driver op amps, and external bipolar supplies. The
ADAR7251 also offers precise channel-to-channel drift
matching.
The ADAR7251 features an on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL)
that allows a range of clock frequencies for flexibility in the system.
The CONV_START input and DATA_READY output signals
synchronize the ADC with an external ramp for applications such
as FSK-FMCW radar.
The ADAR7251 supports serial and parallel interfaces at
programmable sample rates from 300 kSPS to 1.8 MSPS, as well
as easy connections to digital signal processors (DSPs) and
microcontroller units (MCUs) in the system.
