Analog Devices’ High-Speed 8-bit A/D Converters Deliver Best-in-Class Power and Noise Performance
- Analog Devices’ AD9284 is industry’s first dual, 8-bit, 250-MSPS A/D converter; AD9286 is lowest power
8-bit 500-MSPS A/D converter available.
January 31, 2011 -- NORWOOD, Mass.-- ( BUSINESS WIRE)--
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in
high-performance signal processing and the data converter market share leader*, today released two
8-bit, high-speed, low-power, low-noise A/D converters (analog-to-digital converters) designed for
instrumentation and communications applications. Both 8-bit high-speed A/D converters use a pipeline architecture
and consume an industry-best 310 mW of power. Watch the high-speed, 8-bit A/D converter video at

The AD9284 is the industry’s first
dual, 8-bit, 250-MSPS A/D converter while the AD9286
8-bit 500-MSPS A/D converter delivers 8-bit resolution at 40 percent less power than competitive components.
The converters feature high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 49.3 dBFS and allow for a wide dynamic signal range
with SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) performance of 65 dBc. Applications for these components include
battery-powered instruments, handheld scope meters and digital oscilloscopes.
SFDR: 65dBc to 200-MHz input at 250 MSPS Low power: 155-mW per channel at 250 MSPS

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
