Farnell element14 – LVDS-compatible 12-bit / 1GSPS ADC operates from 5V and 3.3V supplies (ADS5400)

Now available from Farnell stock, The Texas Instruments (TI) ADS5400 is a 12-bit, 1GSPS analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from both a 5V supply and 3.3V supply, while providing LVDS-compatible digital outputs.

The analogue input buffer isolates the internal switching of the track and hold from disturbing the signal source. The simple 3-stage pipeline provides extremely low latency for time critical applications. Designed for the conversion of signals up to 2GHz of input frequency at 1GSPS, the ADS5400 has outstanding low noise performance and spurious-free dynamic range over a large input frequency range.

The ADS5400 is available in a TQFP-100 PowerPAD package. The combination of the PowerPAD package and moderate power consumption of the ADS5400 allows for operation without an external heatsink. The ADS5400 is specified over the full industrial temperature range (-40C to 85C), says the company.
