GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9272 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use. It contains eight channels of a low noise preamplifier (LNA) with a variable gain amplifier (VGA), an antialiasing filter (AAF), and a 12-bit, 10 MSPS to 80 MSPS analog-todigital converter (ADC).
FEATURES
