The AFX010x Product Family by SCALINX consists of advanced Analog Front Ends (AFEs) ideal for data-acquisition systems, particularly for benchtop and portable applications. This product family is designed to cater to needs for low power consumption, high signal fidelity, broad bandwidth, and impressive sampling rates. Each Integrated Circuit (IC) features four independent channels, each equipped with a programmable input capacitance, a single-ended to differential-output programmable gain amplifier (PGA), an offset DAC, an ADC, and a digital processor.
Housed in a standard 12 mm × 12 mm, 196-ball BGA, these products benefit from the proprietary SCCORE™ technology, which facilitates a compact PCB footprint and energy savings of up to 50%. The AFEs offer a maximum sampling rate of 5 GS/s and maintain consistency with applications requiring high resolution data acquisition, such as USB and PC-based oscilloscopes and non-destructive testing systems. By featuring on-chip clock synthesizers and voltage references, they ensure superior performance with power consumption rates as low as 425 mW per channel.
Moreover, these AFEs boast a range of programmable gains and bandwidths, adaptable over wide bipolar voltage ranges, making them extremely flexible to suit various signal processing needs. Their pin-to-pin compatibility across different models simplifies upgrades and customization, maximizing flexibility and adaptability in diverse technological contexts.
