High-speed 8-bit A/D Converters Deliver Best-in-Class Power and Noise Performance
Analog Devices today released two 8-bit, high-speed, low-power, low-noise A/D converters (analogue-to-digital converters) designed for instrumentation and communications applications. Both 8-bit high-speed A/D converters use a pipeline architecture and consume an industry-best 310 mW of power.
The AD9284 is the industry’s first dual, 8-bit, 250-MSPS A/D converter while the AD9286 8-bit 500-MSPS A/D converter delivers 8-bit resolution at 40 percent less power than competitive components. The converters feature high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 49.3 dBFS and allow for a wide dynamic signal range with SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) performance of 65 dBc. Applications for these components include battery-powered instruments, handheld scope meters and digital oscilloscopes.
AD9286 8-bit, 500-MSPS A/D Converter Key Features:
* Single 1.8-V supply operation
* SNR: 49.3dBFS to 200-MHz input at 500 MSPS
* SFDR: 65dBc to 200-MHz input at 500 MSPS
* Low power: 310 mW at 500 MSPS
* On-chip interleaved clocking
* On-chip simultaneous or interleaved clocking
AD9284 Dual 8-bit, 250-MSPS A/D Converter Key Features:
* Single 1.8-V supply operation
* SNR: 49.3dBFS to 200-MHz input at 250 MSPS
* SFDR: 65dBc to 200-MHz input at 250 MSPS
* Low power: 155-mW per channel at 250 MSPS
