Micram VEGA converters are single-chip SiGe solutions with a scalable open architecture for direct conversion between analog and digital domains (ADC & DAC) that allow for sampling rates in excess of 25GS/s. They are built using a library approach that allows for quick adoption of application specific requirements.

The VEGA DAC 25 is a digital to analog converter, a demonstrator IC proving the inherent performance and functional capability of our modular approach (6 bit, operating up to 30 GS/s with an analog bandwidth of 25GHZ). The demonstrator is available on an evaluation board.

Our next converter is the VEGA ADC 30, a 6 bit Analog Digital Converter designed for 30GS/s. Two chips can operate in interleave mode to achieve a sampling rate of 60GS/s at an unseen bandwidth of 20GHz. Further on the roadmap is a single-chip converter chipset for 60GS/s.
