analog-to-digital converter

Texas Instruments Incorporated introduced a 16-bit, single-channel, 135 mega samples per second (MSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a low-jitter clock synthesizer. The combined signal chain solution provides unmatched dynamic system-level performance in communications, defense, and test and measurement applications. The data converter and clock are available on the same evaluation module (EVM) to facilitate fast evaluations of these complex systems.

Texas Instruments Incorporated introduced a dual-channel, high-speed current feedback amplifier. The device features 70 percent greater bandwidth gain at 2 V/V than competitive devices, providing fast signal conditioning with the highest linearity to minimize distortion for better signal fidelity and easier filtering. The amplifier offers wide supply voltage options and large gain capability, giving engineers the flexibility to adjust the parameters to address the specific need, such as high gain for differential signals or high output voltage or current for low power consumption. In addition, the device's optimized symmetrical package eases layout for cost-effective precision IF amplifiers, high-speed arbitrary waveform output drivers, wideband analog-to-digital converter (ADC) drivers and active filters.
