Agreed, and Digikey has parts in stock for just $2,625.30 each :-). (well for the 4 channel ones).
Although it also explains why we've had a kind of "rush" on GHz quad channel oscilloscopes (Keysight, Tektronix, R&S, and even Rigol all have updated offerings that probably use this chip).
I'd love to play with one but I am not going to fork over $44K for an evaluation board.

- CamperBob2 4y agoEvaluation, shmevaluation. That's what dead-bug construction is for.
- ChuckMcM 4y agoOkay I chuckled at that, trying to imagine doing dead-bug construction with 28 GBps differential pairs on a BGA package is not something I want to take on :-)
- cushychicken 4y agoDid you know Rigol offers a quad channel 5GHz scope now? https://www.tequipment.net/Rigol/DS70504/Digital-Oscilloscopes/ https://www.tequipment.net/Rigol/DS70504/Digital-Oscilloscop... Still sets you back the price of a new car, but since Rigol is working hard to compete on price, it’s a new Corolla instead of a new S Series. I’ve never thought about how it’s datapath ICs enabling this little rush on cheaper GHz scopes. I’d be a bit surprised if Rigol was using ADI - I wouldn’t expect them to have the volume to buy ADI parts and get them supported. (I’d also wager there’s likely some export controls on chips like this guy.)
