ADC08351 8-Bit, 42 MSPS, 40 mW A/D Converter
General Description
The ADC08351 is an easy to use low power, low cost, small size, 42 MSPS analog-to-digital converter that digitizes signals to 8 bits. The ADC08351 uses an unique architecture that achieves 7.2 Effective Bits with a 4.4 MHz input and 42 MHz clock frequency and 6.8 Effective Bits with a 21 MHz input and 42 MHz clock frequency. Output formatting is straight binary coding. To minimize system cost and power consumption, the ADC08351 requires minimal external components and includes input biasing to allow optional a.c. input signal coupling. The user need only provide a +3V supply and a clock. Many applications require no separate reference or driver components.
