austriamicrosystems Launches AS1524/25 micro-power, 12-bit, 150ksps A/D Converter.AS1524/25 Line is Ideal for Applications with Strict Low Power Requirements Like Battery Powered Data Acquisition Systems, Including Remote Sensors or Pen Digitizers, While Offering Single-Ended and Fully-Differential Input UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria -- austriamicrosystems (SWX SWX Swiss Exchange (trademark of SWX Swiss Exchange) SWX SolidWorks (3D solid modeling CAD software) SWX Splitter / Wave Division Multiplexer :AMS AMS - Andrew Message System ), a leading global designer and manufacturer of analog 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. (ICs) for communication, industrial, medical and automotive applications, has expanded its A/D converter (Analog/Digital converter) A device that converts continuously varying analog signals from instruments and sensors that monitor conditions, such as sound, movement and temperature into binary code for the computer. portfolio with the new AS1524 12-bit, ultra low-power single-channel full-differential A/D converter and the AS1525 dual-channel single-ended ultra low power An ultra low power, or ULP device, is an electronic gadget that has milli- or micro-watt power consumption. Some examples of ultra-low power devices:
TDFN Thin Dual-in-line Flat Package 8pin package, the AS1524/25 family is an optimal solution for small battery-powered devices and portable data acquisition systems such as remote sensors or pen digitizers with thought space requirements. Demonstrating austriamicrosystems' continued industry leadership in low power consumption, the AS1524/25, consumes only 350uA (3V) at the 150ksps maximum sampling rate. The advanced automatic shutdown feature places the device between conversions into sleep mode reducing the power consumption significantly at lower sampling speeds. At reduced speed of 100ksps the power consumption drops to 245uA (3V). The consumption drops down to 2.5uA at a still reasonable speed of 1ksps and stunning 200nA during shutdown. "These A/D converters are perfect for applications with extremely demanding power consumption and space requirements. One of the key aspects of its design in terms of the reduction in power consumption, is the intelligent automatic shutdown. Thanks to this unique circuitry design the AS1524/25 is always in the perfect operating point drawing a minimum current during all sampling rates," said Walter Moshammer, marketing director for standard linear at austriamicrosystems.

(2) (Service Provider Interface) The programming interface for developing Windows drivers under WOSA. , QSPI QSPI Queued Serial Peripheral Interface and a Microwire-compatible interface enable high-speed data access while minimising board space. Both devices generate an internal clock; however, they also support an external clock for increased flexibility. Both parts operate from a 2.7 to 5.25V single supply. The AS1524/25 family is available in an 8-pin 3x3mm TDFN package suitable for operating environments ranging from -40[deg]C to +85[deg]C.
