The AD9481 is available in a Pb-free, 44-lead, surface-mount
package (TQFP-44) specified over the industrial temperature
range (−40°C to +85°C).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9481 is an 8-bit, monolithic analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) optimized for high speed and low power consumption.
Small in size and easy to use, the product operates at a
250 MSPS conversion rate, with excellent linearity and dynamic
performance over its full operating range.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Superior linearity. A DNL of 0.35 makes the AD9481
suitable for many instrumentation and measurement
applications
To minimize system cost and power dissipation, the AD9481
includes an internal reference and track-and-hold circuit. The
user only provides a 3.3 V power supply and a differential
encode clock. No external reference or driver components are
required for many applications.
2. Power-down mode. A power-down function may be exercised
to bring total consumption down to 15 mW.
3. De-multiplexed CMOS outputs allow for easy interfacing
with low cost FPGAs and standard logic.
The digital outputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible with an option
of twos complement or binary output format. The output data
bits are provided in an interleaved fashion along with output
clocks that simplifies data capture.
