ANALOG DEVICES : High-speed 8-bit A/D Converters Deliver Best-in-Class Power and Noise Performance
01/31/2011 | 10:30am
Analog
Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance signal
processing and the data converter market share leader*, today released
two 8-bit,
high-speed, low-power, low-noise A/D converters (analog-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. Watch the
high-speed, 8-bit A/D converter video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DvFCn98hvU.

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.
The AD9286 and AD9284 can be used with ADI's ADA4960
low-distortion, ultra-high-speed differential A/D converter driver
and the AD9516
clock generator to provide a data conversion signal chain
solution.
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
