A/D convertor measures smaller signals faster
Sigma-delta ADC achieves greater than true 16bit noise-free resolution up to 2.4kHz across all input voltages from 40mV to 5V.
SAR convertor claims record speed and accuracy
A/D convertor achieves a new level of 16bit data capture performance, with best-in-class 15bit ENOB and 10Msample/s throughput.
In many cases, this means industrial equipment designers can migrate from SOIC packaged ICs to much smaller TSOT-23 packages, generating a space savings that simplifies board layout or leaves room for other functions.
Moreover, the devices' +/-18V power supply dramatically reduces the additional signal conditioning, signal biasing and external components required to interface lower-voltage analogue components to high-voltage industrial and instrumentation sensors and transducers, further reducing design complexity for industrial equipment developers.
The products are manufactured on a new process technology developed by Analog Devices expressly for the needs of high-voltage applications.
