Medical, industrial measurements targeted by single-channel A/D collection
The 1-channel ADS8881 family includes ultra-low power 18- and 16-bit SAR ADCs with speed options ranging from 100 ksamples/sec to 1 Msamples/sec.
Features include;
Widest input common mode: most of the new ADCs provide an input common-mode range that is 20-times wider than other devices. This simplifies signal conditioning and enables system designers to more easily digitise the difference between two independent sensor signals with widely varying common-mode voltage values over time.
Flexible analogue and digital supply voltage ranges: analogue supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V, three times wider than existing devices. This enables direct operation from a Lithium-Ion battery. Digital supply voltage range is 1.65 V to 3.6 V, meeting most microprocessor supply requirements.
Ultra-low power: The 1-MSPS SAR ADCs consume 5.5 mW of power at 1 Msamples/sec and 55 µW at 10 ksamples/sec, making them suitable for pulsed DC measurements in portable medical and heat-sensitive automated test applications.
All 12 devices are pin-compatible and available in both MSOP and QFN package options, to reuse the same analogue signal chain design.
