AD4883

The AD4883 is a dual-channel, low noise, low power, high-speed, 16-bit, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated fully-differential drivers (FDA) and gain-setting resistors. The two channels can be sampled either simultaneously or independently, which offers flexibility for a wide range of applications.

The integration of the ADC drivers, low drift reference buffers, low dropout (LDO) regulators along with all critical decoupling capacitors greatly simplifies analog front-end design challenges. Specified performance is easier to achieve, which requires a simpler and more compact printed circuit board (PCB) layout.

Optimized for input signals up to 1MHz, the AD4883 delivers low noise and exceptional linearity at remarkably low power consumption, which makes it ideal for many precision data acquisition systems.

Anti-aliasing filter requirements can be relaxed by taking advantage of the high sample rate to oversample, then apply integrated digital filtering and decimation to reduce noise and deliver an increase in dynamic range for applications where ultra-low latency is not required.

The AD4883 features a SAR architecture that results in a conversion latency of just 48.44ns. Therefore, it is a good fit for wide bandwidth applications that have multiplexed input signals, applications that require extremely low latency, or both. Such high throughput and low-latency applications can benefit from the two independent, multilane low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interfaces. Alternatively, the load on the digital host can be eased by storing the captured data in the on-chip, 16k samples per channel, first in, first out (FIFO) memory, then asynchronously accessing it via the serial-peripheral interface (SPI) data interfaces.
