Key Featrues

4-Channel Simultaneous Sampling ADC - This feature allows for the simultaneous sampling of four input channels, making it ideal for applications requiring precise synchronization across multiple signals, such as multichannel data acquisition and communications systems. This enhances performance by ensuring accurate timing and reducing latency in signal processing.
70.6dB SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) - The high SNR ensures excellent signal clarity and fidelity, making it suitable for high-frequency, wide dynamic range applications like cellular base stations and software-defined radios. This improves the overall quality of the digitized signal, enabling better decision-making in communication systems.
88dB SFDR (Spurious-Free Dynamic Range) - The high SFDR minimizes unwanted spurious signals, which is critical for applications like portable medical imaging and nondestructive testing. This ensures that the ADC can accurately capture and reproduce signals without distortion, enhancing measurement precision.
Low Power Consumption (92mW per Channel) - The low power consumption makes it suitable for power-sensitive applications, such as portable devices and battery-operated systems. This improves energy efficiency and extends battery life, making it a practical choice for mobile and remote applications.
Serial LVDS Outputs (1 or 2 Bits per Channel) - The LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) outputs provide high-speed data transmission with reduced noise and power consumption. This feature is particularly beneficial for high-speed communication systems, ensuring reliable data transfer over long distances with minimal signal degradation.
