Data SheetAD9684 The AD9684 has several functions that simplify the automatic The AD9684 has flexible power-down options that allow gain control (AGC) function in a communications receiver. The significant power savings when desired. All of these features can programmable threshold detector allows monitoring of the be programmed using a 1.8 V to 3.4 V capable 3-wire serial port incoming signal power using the fast detect output bits of the interface (SPI). ADC. If the input signal level exceeds the programmable The AD9684 is available in a Pb-free, 196-bal ball grid array threshold, the fast detect indicator goes high. Because this (BGA) and is specified over the −40°C to +85°C industrial threshold indicator has low latency, the user can quickly reduce temperature range. This product is protected by a U.S. patent. the system gain to avoid an overrange condition at the ADC input. In addition to the fast detect outputs, the AD9684 also PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS offers signal monitoring capability. The signal monitoring block 1.
