Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer lineage from Harris Corporation to Intersil Corporation when sourcing this component. Confirm the specific suffix 'CJD' corresponds to the ceramic DIP package and industrial temperature rating. Check for RoHS compliance status as older Harris/Intersil parts may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure availability through authorized distributors specializing in legacy semiconductor components.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select the ICL8068CJD when high-resolution ADC performance is required with minimal external support circuitry. Compare against similar 14/16-bit converters like the ICL7104 if pin compatibility or specific timing requirements differ. Consider the package size and thermal dissipation capabilities of the ceramic DIP housing for your PCB layout. Verify voltage supply requirements match your system design before procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the family of precision analog-to-digital converters developed by Harris Semiconductor and later produced by Intersil. These devices were widely used in high-accuracy instrumentation before the prevalence of sigma-delta architectures. The ICL8068 series specifically targets applications requiring stable, linear conversion without complex digital filtering algorithms.
