The ADS921x is an 18-bit, 10-MSPS/ch, dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an integrated driver for the ADC inputs. The ADC consumes only 180 mW/ch at 10 MSPS/ch and the power consumption scales with lower sampling rates.

The ADS921x uses a serial low-voltage differential signaling (SLVDS) data interface that enables high-speed digital interface while minimizing digital switching noise. The device comes in a space-saving, 6-mm × 6-mm, VQFN package.

The ADS921x is specified for the extended temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
