DESCRIPTION
The ADC08351 is an easy to use low power, low
cost, small size, 42 MSPS analog-to-digital converter
that digitizes signals to 8 bits. The ADC08351 uses
an unique architecture that achieves 7.2 Effective Bits
with a 4.4 MHz input and 42 MHz clock frequency
and 6.8 Effective Bits with a 21 MHz input and 42 MHz clock frequency. Output formatting is straight
binary coding.
To minimize system cost and power consumption, the
ADC08351 requires minimal external components
and includes input biasing to allow optional a.c. input
signal coupling. The user need only provide a +3V
supply and a clock. Many applications require no
separate reference or driver components.
The excellent dc and ac characteristics of this device,
together with its low power consumption and +3V single supply operation, make it ideally suited for
many video and imaging applications, including use in
portable equipment. Total power consumption is
reduced to less than 7 mW in the power-down mode.
Furthermore, the ADC08351 is resistant to latch-up
and the outputs are short-circuit proof.
Fabricated on a 0.35 micron CMOS process, the ADC08351 is offered in TSSOP and WQFN (a
molded lead frame-based chip-scale package), and is
designed to operate over the industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C.
