"The AD936X market, using four words summary] For inquiishing." ADI channel management and emerging application market Senior application manager Zhang Xinming's 2015 easy-to-see the annual ICT Media Forum in last week.
This is the very successful integrated RF transceiver product that Adi has been launched more than a year, integrating analog filter, mixer, data converter, transmitting, and receiving frequency synthesizer, more than 1,000 registers. Since it has reached a situation that is in short supply, it is no wonder that no free sample is not available.

"This chip is complex, single-chip integrates all other functions, flexible and configurable, it is really software radio, can be upgraded on-site, realized fast listing, realizing small volume, including heat dissipation, power consumption, these It is the place where we succeed. "Zhang Xinming said," Everyone will feel very easy to see. "
The figure above is comparison with the performance of the competitors.
The chip supports the frequency range of 70 m to 6G, including common WiFi 2.4G, microwave 5.8g, traditional old 70 mega, 240 megabytes.
Bandwidth is supported from 200k to 56M, including from GSM to microwave. "Our filter is all programmable, customer configurable, this is a big advantage."
However, there is also a pity, now 3G's 60 megabit bandwidth exceeds the chip coverage, the current ADI's bandwidth supports 56 megabytes, this is the first design according to WiMAX demand, but chapter Xinming revealed, the same architecture, the company The chip will reach 100 trillion, even high bandwidth.
"The wider bandwidth is wider, and the AD will be faster for our device, and the AD is high, and the cost is expensive. The most difficult is the filter, because a broadband system supports 200K GSM, must be width Broadband does not support narrowband, narrowband does not support broadband, which is the biggest contradiction. "Zhang Xinming said.
In addition, for some fixed bandwidth applications, 20 trillion or 40 megabits (for some kind of communication), the ADI will pick a bandwidth special test in the series, and sell special numbers to manufacturers. It is not public. It is not the same for the customer's inside, and the cost is not the same. The test cost is not so high.
A development software and hardware are ready for development boards
The fast listing kit is also the reason for the success of the chip.
"ADI is to make the RF board, then equipped with Xilinx's FPGA board, this board can be inserted in the PC, he has an FMC interface, we insert it according to his interface standard, the entire development system is coming out, pick up You can directly send and receive them on the antenna. "Zhang Xinming said.
Xilinx can provide support for this platform, and ADI's agent is also specially supported.
"We have S4, S1, S2, S3, and the difference is S1 is a single collection, S4 is full bandwidth, S1 to 4G, S2 is double-receiving double hair, S3 is full bandwidth, provides a corresponding board, and xilinx latest FPGA direct docking, these kits we can provide RF boards, after purchasing the Xilinx development board, we download design files, including various support configuration applications, cooperate with the Adi's website and Xilinx and Anfuli support. ADI website There are information, we have a website to support driver, there will be a variety of questions to answer. "Zhang Xincu introduced.
Zhang Xinming and reporters shared the two categories of applications that were very suitable for adopting this program: one is a test instrument, such as a spectrum and network analyzer, and the AD9361 can implement portable spectrum instrument. Another category is a communication telemetry device, which is a lot of applications than the instrument. For example, the hottest drone map transmission, etc.
