Texas Instruments' 16-Bit Data Converter Offers Unmatched Price/Performance Value for Optical Networking and Medical Equipment
500-kSPS SAR Converter Features Low-Power Operation, Small Packaging
TUCSON, Ariz. (July 26, 2001) - Texas Instruments (TI) Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) today announced a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from the company's Burr-Brown product line requiring only 85mW of power at the full 500-kSPS speed. Featuring an unmatched price/performance value, the ADS8322 is ideal for high-precision applications such as optical networking, medical equipment (CT scanners, X-Ray scanners), sonar equipment, high-speed data acquisition, and spectrum analyzers. See http://www.ti.com/sc/aap6589u.
"By offering the smallest package, lowest power, and best price/performance for a 16-bit, 500-kSPS ADC, the ADS8322 will quickly become the preferred converter for customers requiring high speed and high resolution at half the price of the nearest competition," said Wayne Talley, product marketing engineer of TI's data acquisition products. "Furthermore, with a bipolar version on the way, these high-performance devices provide a one-two punch to our competitors' 500-kSPS offerings."
The ADS8322 includes a 16-bit capacitor-based SAR (Successive Approximation Register) ADC with inherent sample-and-hold, and an internal 2.5V reference. It offers a full 16-bit, high-speed parallel interface, or an 8-bit option where data is read using two read cycles and 8 pins.
The ADS8322 provides unipolar input and 0 to 5V input range. It is guaranteed over the industrial -40C to +85C temperature range. A bipolar version, the ADS8323, is scheduled to be available in 3Q01.
Available Today
The ADS8322 is available in a TQFP-32 package. Suggested resale pricing starts at $7.50 in 1,000 piece quantities.
