ADC08351EVAL [Texas Instruments]

The ADC08351 is an easy-to-use, low-power, low-cost, small-size 42 MSPS 8-bit analog-to-digital converter. It uses a unique architecture achieving 7.2 effective bits at 4.4 MHz input and 42 MHz clock, and 6.8 effective bits at 21 MHz input and 42 MHz clock. Output formatting is straight binary coding. The device requires minimal external components, includes input biasing for optional AC input signal coupling, and only needs a +3V supply and a clock. Many applications require no separate reference or driver components. It has excellent DC and AC characteristics, low power consumption, and +3V single supply operation, making it ideal for video and imaging applications, including portable equipment. Power-down mode reduces total power to less than 7 mW. The device is resistant to latch-up and outputs are short-circuit proof. It is fabricated on a 0.35 micron CMOS process and available in TSSOP and LLP packages, operating over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
