TI adds 12 high-performance, high-resolution, ultra-low-power SAR ADCs to lineup

New ADC family includes six reference designs to jump-start design for industrial and medical applications

DALLAS, Jan. 27, 2014 — (PRNewswire) —  Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today expanded its SAR (successive approximation register) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) product portfolio with a new family of 12 devices that provide the industry's widest analog supply and common-mode voltage ranges. The 1-channel ADS8881 family includes high-performance, ultra-low power 18- and 16-bit SAR ADCs with speed options ranging from 100 kSPS to 1 MSPS. Engineers can chose the right ADC for their designs in a wide variety of applications – from high-end industrial, such as high-performance test and measurement equipment, precision metrology and precision sensor transmitters for industrial automation, to battery-operated test and measurement and portable medical.

Key benefits of the ADS8881 family:

Tools and support to jump-start design
TI offers a range of support tools for the ADS8881 family to speed time to market, including reference designs, simulation models and hardware evaluation kits.

The following TI Precision Designs reference design circuits provide theory, simulation, calculation, design methodology and more.

The ADS8881EVM-PDK, ADS8861EVM-PDK and ADS8860EVM-PDK performance development kits may be purchased for US$199. The kits enable system designers to quickly evaluate and test device performance using only the provided hardware and TI's ADCPro™ software tool.  

IBIS and TINA-TI™ models are also available for the ADS8881 family to optimize front-end signal conditioning circuitry in software simulation.

Support is available on the Precision Converters Forum in the TI E2E™ Community, where engineers can search for solutions, get help, share knowledge and solve problems with fellow engineers and TI experts.

Package, availability and pricing
The ADC8881 family is available today in the following 10-pin, 3-mm by 4.9-mm MSOP and 3-mm by 3-mm QFN options:
