ADC08351
8-Bit, 42 MSPS, 40 mW A/D Converter
General Description
The ADC08351 is an easy to use low power, low cost, small
size, 42 MSPS analog-to-digital converter that digitizes sig-
nals 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 in-
cludes input biasing to allow optional a.c. input signal cou-
pling. 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, to-
gether 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 LLP (a molded lead frame-based
chip-scale package), and is designed to operate over the
industrial temperature range of −40˚C to +85˚C.
