Burr-Brown Introduces Industry's First 8-Channel, 16-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2000 Burr-Brown Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BBRC BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications BBRC Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (Washington state) BBRC Ball Brothers Research Corporation ) today announced the ADS8344, an 8-channel, 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. ) designed for data acquisition, test and measurement, industrial process control, and battery-operated systems. "Burr-Brown has jumped ahead of the competition by introducing the industry's first 8-channel, 16-bit analog-to-digital converter. The ADS8344 is also the only multi-channel ADC that offers 2.7V operation," said Wayne Talley, strategic marketing engineer at Burr-Brown. "The ADS8344 provides customers with a low-cost, high-performance 16-bit upgrade to their existing 12-bit systems without incurring costly board layout changes." Low power, high speed, and tiny packaging make the ADS8344 ideal for battery powered applications such as personal digital assistants, portable multi-channel data loggers, and measurement equipment. A serial interface also provides low cost isolation for remote data acquisition. Within these systems, the ADS8344 converts analog ("real world") signals into digital data for use with microprocessors. The ADS8344 requires very little power when operating at the full 100kHz sampling rate (5mW at 2.7V supply, 10mW at +5V supply). The device includes a unique shutdown mode which reduces power dissipation to under 3 micro-watts. The ADS8344 features synchronous serial interface (SSI/SPI), 2.7V to 5V single supply, 8-channel single-ended or 4-channel differential input, up to 100kHz conversion rate, and 84dB SINAD SINAD Signal, Noise and Distortion (audio measurement) . The device is packaged in a QSOP-20 or SSOP-20 and is guaranteed over the -40C to +85C temperature range. The ADS8344 is priced from $7.50 in 1,000 piece quantities. Delivery is from stock.
