Dual and quad analogue-to-digital converters range from 25 to 160MSPS

Available now from Farnell element14, the Texas Instruments (TI) ADC3xxx series of dual and quad analogue-to-digital converters, ranging from 25-160MSPS, delivers the industry's lowest power family of 12-bit, 14-bit, JESD204B, LVDS, says the company. The converters are scalable from low speeds in the 25MSPS range to 160MSPS, making them ideal for a comprehensive range of applications from motor control, general purpose data acquisition and broad industrial solutions to high-performance, low-power software-defined radios, defence systems and high-density communications and radar gear. The ADC3xxx devices consumes lower power than previous generation of ADCs at these sampling nodes and resolution by nearly 28mW/ch in the lower sampling node, and about 300mW/ch at the fastest node with JESD interface. The JESD204B variants are compliant with subclass 0, 1, and 2 up to 3.2Gbps, supporting 1 lane per ADC output up to 160MSPS, and 1 lane per 2 ADCs for up to 80MSPS. Multi-chip synchronisation of the highest density systems with JESD204B subclass 1 is supported, along with support for flexible clocking with input clock buffer divide by 1, 2, and 4 options, says the company.
