Providing an unmatched combination of speed and precision, the ADS1610 is a 16-bit, 10-msps, delta-sigma ADC. Featuring an 86-dB signal-to-noise ratio and 95-dB spurious-free dynamic range over a 5 MHz bandwidth, the ADS1610 provides state-of-the-art performance at 4× the speed of the nearest delta-sigma competition and 2× the speed of the company’s previous delta-sigma solutions.

The ADS1610 is ideal for demanding measurements in communications, scientific instrumentation, and test and measurement applications. The high-speed operation is ideal for high-accuracy applications requiring higher sampling speeds. The 16-bit resolution with –94dB total harmonic distortion is ideal for high-speed applications requiring higher accuracy signal measurement.

A 4.4-MHz pass-band with less than 0.0002 dB of ripple provides wideband signal processing. An on-chip digital filter simplifies anti-alias requirements compared to SAR and pipeline converters. The device operates from a 5-V analog supply and a 3-V digital supply.

The ADS1610 is optimized to work with the TMS320 DSP platforms. Also offered is an extensive portfolio of wideband amplifiers well suited to drive the analog inputs of the ADS1610, such as the THS4503 and THS4509.

The device, which comes in a TQFP-64 package, costs $29.95 in 1,000-piece quantities. Evaluation modules are also available.
