ADS6444MRGCTEP

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS6444MRGCTEP is a quad-channel, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It utilizes a pipeline architecture and supports sampling rates up to 105 MS/s per channel. The device features differential analog inputs and operates with an analog supply voltage of 3.3 V and digital supplies ranging from 3 V to 3.6 V. Key performance metrics include a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 73.8 dB, an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 11.7, and integral nonlinearity (INL) specifications of -0.5/+5 LSB. It is housed in a VQFN-64 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MRGCTEP against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and industrial temperature grading. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to ensure authenticity and traceability, as component markings may vary slightly between manufacturing lots.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring four independent high-speed conversion channels with 14-bit resolution. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 3.3 V analog and 3 V to 3.6 V digital power rails. Verify that the PCB layout supports the VQFN-64 package thermal requirements and differential input impedance matching for optimal SNR performance at the target sampling rate.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS6444 series of high-performance ADCs from Texas Instruments. It shares the core pipeline architecture and 14-bit resolution with other variants in the family but differs in packaging, temperature rating, and reel configuration. The MRGCTEP designation specifically identifies the industrial grade version in a VQFN-64 form factor.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the ADS6444IRGCR. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
