The Apollo mixed signal front-end (MxFE®) is a highly integrated device with a 16-bit, 28 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC) core, and 12-bit, 20 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC) core. The AD9084 supports four transmit channels and four receive channels. The AD9084 is well suited for applications requiring both wideband ADCs and DACs to process signal(s) having wide instantaneous bandwidth. The device features a 48 lane, 32.5 Gbps JESD204C or 20 Gbps JESD204B data transceiver port, an on-chip clock multiplier, and a digital signal processing (DSP) capability targeted at either wideband or multiband, direct to RF applications. The AD9084 also features a bypass mode that allows the full bandwidth capability of the ADC and/or DAC cores to bypass the DSP datapaths. The device also features low latency loopback and frequency hopping modes targeted at phased array radar systems and electronic warfare applications.
The AD9084 is available in a 24 mm x 26 mm, 899-ball BGA and operates within the –40°C to +110°C junction temperature range. For additional information, contact ApolloSupport@analog.com.

Software Resources
API Device Drivers 1
Device Application Programming Interface (API) C code drivers provided as reference code that allows the user to quickly configure the product using high-level function calls. The library acts as an abstraction layer between the application and the hardware. The API is developed in C99 to ensure agnostic processor and operating system integration. Customers can port this application layer code to their embedded systems by integrating their platform-specific code base to the API HAL layer.
To request this software package, go to the Software Request Form signed in with your MyAnalog account and under “Target Hardware” select “High Speed Data Converters” and choose the desired API product package. In addition, there are two SW packages available specifically for Apollo MxFE™. There is a PyApp/ACE evaluation package and there are FPGA bin files supporting various use cases. You will receive an email notification once the software is provided to you.

JESD204x Frame Mapping Table Generator
The JESD204x Frame Mapping Table Generator tool consists of two Windows executables that will allow the user to input any valid combination of JESD204x parameters (L, M, F, S, NP) in order to output a .csv file that illustrates the frame mapping of the JESD204x mode in table format. There is an executable that allows the user to input a single JESD204x mode and another, that allows the user to input the parameters for multiple JESD204x modes in a specified .csv format in order to output a .csv file that illustrates the frame mapping of each of the JESD204x modes that were input into separate tables.
