TI Intros Two SoC Solutions

Texas Instruments Incorporated, a global semiconductor company, reportedly announced the availability of its two new system-on-chip solutions, the 18-bit ADS8284 and 16-bit ADS8254, which are designed to help customers develop ultra-high performance analog-to-digital converter front ends for precision applications including high-speed data acquisition, automated test equipment and medical imaging.

 

According to the company, the 18-bit ADS8284 and 16-bit ADS8254 combines for the first time TI’s latest generation successive approximation register ADCs with all the components required to optimize design around the ADC (News - Alert).

 

Key features and benefits of the ADS8284 and ADS8254 include; best-in-class AC and DC performance at 1 MSPS which offers high performance characterized for the entire input channel from the multiplexer to the digital output, including the driving amplifier.

 

Additionally, with fully integrated SoC including four-channel multiplexer, input operational amplifier, 6 ppm/degrees C reference and reference buffer, these solutions are said to reduce design complexity and cost.

 

TI also mentioned that the newly launched solutions are capable of ensuring that real-world applications achieve data-sheet performance levels.

 

Also, its ultra-low channel drift maximizes reliability and repeatability for critical measurements.

 

Reportedly, the ADS8284 and ADS8254 are available now in a 64-pin QFN package for $20.50 and $16.50, respectively, in 1,000-unit quantities.
