Following a technology announcement from Xignal during September 2005, the company is now launching the first analogue-to-digital conversion products based on its continuous time delta sigma ADCs These devices consume less than half the power of present best-in-class, high performance ADCs and integrate a lot of additional functionality on-chip at the same time

Based on the company's recently announced breakthrough in Continuous Time Delta Sigma (CTDS) technology, the 12bit (XT11200) and 14bit (XT11400) resolution devices consume only 70mW while operating at 20-40Msample/s datarate.

This is half the power consumption of the nearest best-in-class alternatives and the first time such performance has been available at the sub-100mW power level, and in this instance with increased integration to simplify system design.

These new ADCs eliminate costly and
