TI's 12-bit a-to-d converter operates at 80-mbits
per second

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Texas Instruments Inc. today announced a
12-bit analog-to-digital converter that handles 80 megabits
per second for communications and medial imaging systems.

The ADS809 converter features a high-bandwidth linear
track/hold (1 GHz) that features jitter of 0.25 ps rms, said
TI. The device offers 1Vp-p and 2Vp-p input ranges and the
ability to accept either differential or single ended inputs.
The device offers 65 dB SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and 68
dB SFDR (spurious free dynamic range) with a 10-MHz input
signal.

"The ADS809 sets a new 12-bit performance point for Texas
Instruments, allowing access to a variety of next-generation
segments of the communications and imaging markets," said
Ed Fullman, product marketing manager of TI's Burr-Brown
high-speed product series. Dallas-based TI acquired the
Burr-Brown converter line and other mixed-signal analog
products when it bought the Tuscon company for $7.6 billion
in stock (see Aug. 31 story).

TI said the new 12-bit ADC chip ideally suited for signal
chain applications in base stations, wireless local loop (WLL),
and cable modems, as well as for high-speed power control
loops found in fiber optic (DWDM) and wireless
communications systems.

The ADS809 is available now and is packaged in a TQFP-48.
It costs $29.95 each in quantities of 1,000 units.
