12bit a/d converter consumes 660mW at 500Ms/s
Analog Devices has introduced two new data converters, designed to deliver the speed and performance at low power necessary for a range of communications and industrial applications.
The AD9434 analogue/digital converter reduces thermal considerations by consuming only 660mW of power in a space saving 8 x 8mm LFCSP package. With 65dBFS signal to noise ratio up to a 250MHz input frequency at 500Ms/s, the 12bit device meets the low power, small size, and high dynamic range requirements needed for communications infrastructure, radar systems, data acquisition systems and test and measurement applications.
ADI says it provides a complete signal conversion solution with sample and hold, voltage reference, LVDS outputs, a single 1.8V supply and integrated data clock output with programmable clock included on the component. The LVDS digital output data and output clock timing interface are programmable to provide flexibility with today's fpga products.
