Highly Integrated Simultaneous-Sampling ADC Simplifies Automotive Radar Applications 7/10/2008

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX11043 quad, 16-bit, simultaneous-sampling ADC for sensor applications. Designed for continuous-wave (CW) chirp radar systems, this device provides a complete solution for conditioning and digitizing the IF signals from a 24GHz or 77GHz radar front-end for a DSP or microprocessor. To minimize cost and save board space, the device integrates four discrete analog filters; four high-precision, simultaneous-sampling ADCs; and a 12-bit control DAC into a small, 6mm x 6mm package. The MAX11043's unprecedented ...
