ANALOG DEVICES TARGETS MEDICAL IMAGING APPLICATIONS WITH INDUSTRY'S FIRST HIGH-SPEED, 14-BIT QUAD ADC

New high-speed, low-power, quad ADCs with serial outputs reduce board space and enable high-resolution in multi-channel medical imaging systems.

Norwood, MA(5/30/2006)– Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE:ADI), announced today that it is extending its family of high-speed, multi-channel analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with the introduction of the industry’s first high-speed, 14-bit data converter with four analog-to-digital conversion channels (quad ADC).
