Octal, lowest power 100-Msamples/s suits medical, industrial, imaging apps

The ADS5295 octal, 12-bit, 100-Msamples/s ADC uses less than 80 mW per channel – enabling designers to increase channel count without increasing power dissipation high-density applications, while still achieving a low noise of 71 decibel full scale (dBFS) SNR. It uses the company's digital processing block which integrates commonly used digital functions, such as a low-frequency noise suppression mode, digital filtering options and programmable mapping of LVDS output pins.

The part outputs data over one or two wires of LVDS pins per channel, reducing the number of interface lines. Housing is in 80-pin HTQFPs. (ADS5295, $70 ea/1,000; evaluation module, ADS5295EVM $299 – available now)
