Overview
The LM15851NKE is a wideband sampling and digital tuning device developed by Texas Instruments. This device utilizes giga-sample analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology, enabling the direct sampling of a large block of frequency spectrum at RF frequencies. An integrated Digital Down Converter (DDC) provides digital filtering and down-conversion, making the selected frequency block available on a JESD204B serial interface. The data is output as baseband 15-bit complex information, facilitating ease of downstream processing.
