Data Converters suit sensitive imaging applications.(Video and Photo: High-Performance, Lowest Power Data Converters Enable Compact Medical Imaging and Wireless Communications Systems)

Eight-channel ADC models ADS5281/ADS5282 (12-bit) and ADS5287 (10-bit) consume as little as 77 mW per channel at 65 MSPS max sampling speed or 64 mW at 50 MSPS. With dynamic scaling, at 30 MSPS sample rate, per-channel power consumption is as low as 48 mW. Devices come in 64-pin, 9 x 9 mm QFN package and offer low-frequency noise suppression mode that eliminates 1/f (Flicker) noise. With programmable gain from 0-12 dB, FS outputs can be provided for input signals as low as 0.5 Vpp.

Eight-Channel ADCs Cut Power Consumption by 30 Percent

DALLAS, Jan. 21 -- A new family of 10- and 12-bit, eight-channel (octal) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) introduced today by Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) features the industry's lowest power consumption and smallest size. The new data converters enable smaller and more energy-efficient medical imaging, wireless communications, military guidance, automatic test equipment and video equipment. …
