18-Bit, 1Msps, 8-Channel Multiplexed SAR ADC with Sequencer Combines Performance & Configurability

MILPITAS, CA – February 12, 2015 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2373-18, an 8-channel, 18-bit, 1Msps successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with exceptional 100dB SNR performance. The LTC2373-18 is equipped with a programmable sequencer that can store up to 16 control words for configuring the multiplexer (MUX) and input range. This provides the ability to easily mix and match fully differential and pseudo-differential input ranges with a variety of MUX channel configurations. Single-ended input signals may also be converted to the fully differential input range of the ADC core by sharing a single external driver circuit between the MUXOUT/ADCIN pins … Read More → "18-Bit, 1Msps, 8-Channel Multiplexed SAR ADC with Sequencer Combines Performance & Configurability"
