2.3.1 AFE7950-SP

The AFE7950-SP is a radiation tolerant integrated RF sampling transceiver supporting up to 4 transmit and 6 receive channels. The AFE7950-SP incorporates an internal PLL/VCO to generate a local high frequency sampling clock. Alternatively, the device accepts an external sampling clock if an improved phase noise source is needed. Each channel incorporates Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCOs) to independently program the signal to any arbitrary RF frequency band. Each channel also includes a Digital Step Attenuator (DSA). The device supports instantaneous signal bandwidth up to 1200MHz. There are many configuration options to adjust data rates, serdes speeds, and frequency bands to optimize for any given application.
