ARCHITECTURE
Data converters – the bridge between the analog and digital worlds – define the performance ceiling of modern systems. They are at the heart of transceivers, radars, communication, and sensing technologies.
Traditional DAC/ADC architectures rely on oversampling, are power-hungry, and deliver incremental performance gains with each new semiconductor node.
InCirT's breakthrough DAC / ADC architecture
The transmitter architecture
Our breakthrough flagship FDDAC Tx Series comprises of digital-to-analogconverters with ultra-wide coherent modulation bandwidth currently silicon verified with up to 8GHz, 56Gbps), extreme energy efficiency, and integrated digital pre-processing for spectral shaping. It is ideally suited for wide channel-bandwidth applications such as next generation Wi-Fi, mmWave5G, 6G, radar or satellite communication.
It is suitable in wireless infrastructure front- and backhaul applications from base-stations to home-routers, in any consumer devices from cell-phones to AR/VR headsets, as well as in measurement devices such as arbitrary waveform generators.
The receiver architecture
Our receiver architecture delivers high ENOB at very wide analysis bandwidth. It eliminates the necessity of the aliasing filter at the ADC input, reducing receiver system complexity and cost. It is highly versatile and can satisfy a wide variety of system requirements, be it ultra-wide bandwidth of >10GHz, >12 ENOB and / or ultra-low power consumption.
