TI introduces simultaneous sampling ADC

BANGALORE, INDIA: Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced that it has introduced a family of 16-, 14- and 12-bit simultaneous sampling successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with high-voltage inputs.

The ADS8556, ADS8557 and ADS8558 offer a sampling range of 730 kSPS and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) up to 91.5 dB, and include the industry’s only simultaneous sampling ADC that offers true, 16-bit no missing codes (NMC) performance, said a press release.

The new ADCs allow designers to maximize performance when connecting to a wide range of inputs or sensor types in applications including multi-axis motor control, simultaneous data acquisition, robotics, power quality management and power protection.
