CA3310E

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The CA3310E is a monolithic integrated circuit functioning as a fast, low-power, 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Manufactured by Harris Corporation, this component features microprocessor-compatible outputs to facilitate direct interface with digital logic systems. It is housed in a 24-pin dual in-line package (PDIP) designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The device operates within standard industrial temperature ranges and provides reliable conversion performance suitable for various signal processing applications requiring moderate resolution and speed.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as Harris Corporation's semiconductor assets were acquired by Intersil and later merged into Renesas. Ensure the specific suffix 'E' matches the required lead-free or environmental compliance status if applicable, although historical data indicates non-RoHS status for some variants. Confirm package integrity and pin configuration against the 24-DIP specification before integration.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select the CA3310E when a balance of speed and power efficiency is required for 10-bit ADC applications. Its microprocessor-compatible outputs simplify board layout by reducing interface logic requirements. Consider the through-hole packaging constraints and ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system's power supply specifications. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the low-power characteristics documented in official datasheets.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

Harris Corporation was a prominent American electronics company specializing in surveillance, microwave weaponry, and electronic warfare solutions. The semiconductor division produced various analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. In 2019, Harris Corporation merged with L3 Technologies to form L3Harris Technologies, while its semiconductor business had previously been acquired by Intersil, which subsequently became part of Renesas Electronics.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the merger history involving Harris, Intersil, and Renesas, cross-referencing current manufacturer catalogs is essential. Verify functional equivalence regarding pinout, voltage levels, and conversion speed before considering alternative components.
