Burr-Brown Unveils Industry's Smallest 16-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter.TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 1999--Burr-Brown Corporation (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 ADS8320, the industry's smallest 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. )--packaged in an 8-pin MSOP--designed specifically for industrial data acquisition and instrumentation systems. In addition to small package size and high resolution, the ADS8320 requires very little power even when operating at the full sampling rate (1.8mW at 100kHz). At lower conversion rates (10kHz), power dissipation is reduced to less than 0.3mW. The device also features a unique power-down mode which reduces supply current to 3 micro-amps max. Ultra-low power and small size make the ADS8320 ideal for battery-operated systems, remote data acquisition, simultaneous multi-channel systems, and isolated data acquisition. "The ADS8320 signifies an industry breakthrough by offering 16-bit precision performance in a tiny MSOP MSOP Mini Small Outline Package MSOP Mini Series of Poker MSOP Minnesota Sex Offender Program MSOP Management Stock Option Plan MSOP Memphis School of Preaching (Memphis, TN) MSOP Minimum Sum-Of-Products package," said Wayne Talley, strategic marketing engineer at Burr-Brown. "This product will enable a new generation of data converters which provides 16 bits of resolution at a price competitive with 12-bit converters." Talley added: "Since the ADS8320 is pin-compatible to standard 8-pin, 12-bit ADCs, designers can upgrade resolution and performance without costly board layout changes." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. IC Insights' "The McClean Report--1998 Edition," the worldwide market for data conversion integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. will exceed $2 billion by 2001, with analog-to-digital converters representing 60% of the total market. The ADS8320 features operation from 2.7V to 5V, synchronous serial interface, low noise (<20 micro-volts rms), and a differential input to reduce noise interference. The reference voltage can be set to any level within the range of 0.5V to Vcc. The ADS8320 is priced from $6.25 in 1,000 piece quantities and packaged in an 8-lead MSOP. Delivery is from stock.
