Designers are being faced with more and more space-constrained applications, and Analog Devices has responded with a SOT-23 package within its expanding 16 bit SAR ADC portfolio.
The company's AD7680, a 16 bit successive-approximation ADC with 15 bits no missing codes is now offered in a 6-lead SOT-23 package. The company says that this is the industry's first 16 bit SAR ADC in this tiny package.
This device features a fast throughput rate of 100 kSa/s and uses an advanced design technique to achieve a low power dissipation rate (3 mW at 3 V and 15 mW at 5 V typ). The AD7680 is the most recent addition to ADI's PulSAR family of 16 bit SAR ADCs. ADI's SAR architecture means that there are no pipeline delays.
Typical applications are: portable, battery-powered; medical instrumentation and control systems; remote data acquisition; mobile communications; portable instrumentation.
