CA3300E

Overview

The CA3300E is a video speed 6-bit flash analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Harris Corporation. This integrated circuit is designed for high-speed signal conversion applications, specifically within the video processing domain. The component utilizes a flash architecture to achieve rapid digitization of analog input signals with six-bit resolution. It is housed in a package suitable for surface-mount or through-hole integration depending on the specific suffix variant.

Feature Summary

• Implements a flash architecture for high-speed analog-to-digital conversion
• Provides 6-bit resolution output suitable for video signal processing
• Designed as a monolithic integrated circuit for compact system integration

Applications

• Video signal digitization
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Analog front-end processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official L3Harris or Microchip documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the device matches the specified video speed and 6-bit flash ADC specifications. Check for any ordering suffixes that may indicate package type or temperature range variations. Request datasheets directly from authorized distributors to validate technical parameters before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated 6-bit flash ADC is required for video bandwidth applications. Consider the interface requirements and power consumption constraints associated with flash architectures. Evaluate the package options available for the CA3300E series to match board layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing clocking and reference voltage circuits in the design.

Part Context

Harris Corporation's semiconductor division was acquired by Intersil and subsequently became part of L3Harris Technologies. The CA3300E belongs to a family of analog signal processing components produced during the era when Harris Semiconductor operated independently. These parts are often referenced in legacy designs and historical electronic catalogs.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for the CA3300E are not available in standard distributor databases. Cross-reference with other 6-bit flash ADCs from current manufacturers if direct replacement is necessary, ensuring pinout and performance compatibility.
