Linear unveils ultra small 14bit SAR a/d converter
Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2314-14, a 14bit 4.5Ms/s successive approximation register a/d converter available in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package.
Said to offer a 90% reduction in size over competing solutions, the converter integrates a precision 2.048V/4.096V reference with 7ppm/°C typical and guaranteed 20ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient.
It operates from a 3 or 5V supply and features a low power dissipation (18mW at 3V or 31mW at 5V) compared to other parts on the market.
The device is targeted at portable and space constrained applications, including medical devices, communications systems and battery operated systems.
