KAD5510P-50Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5510P-50Q72 is a single-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It operates at a maximum sampling rate of 500MSPS using successive approximation architecture. The device features a 72-pin HVQCCN (QFN) package with dimensions of 10 mm length and supports an analog input voltage range up to 1.47 V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum linear error of 0.0732% and a signal-to-noise ratio typically associated with the 500MSPS performance tier in this family. It functions within an industrial temperature range and utilizes a single 1.8V supply.

• Wideband instrumentation and test equipment.
• Military electronic warfare and signal intelligence receivers.
• Medical imaging systems such as ultrasound and MRI.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Q72 against the official Renesas datasheet to confirm package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required 1.8V power supply domain and check for RoHS compliance status in the latest procurement documentation before finalizing orders.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel 10-bit resolution is sufficient for applications demanding 500MSPS throughput. Compare against the KAD5512HP series if higher dynamic range or 12-bit resolution is required, noting potential differences in pinout and power consumption. Verify that the 72-lead QFN package fits the available PCB real estate and thermal constraints.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the KAD5510P family of high-performance ADCs from Intersil, now part of Renesas. The family includes variants with different sampling rates and resolutions, such as the KAD5512HP for 12-bit applications. The KAD5510P-50 specifically denotes the 500MSPS speed grade within the 10-bit segment, designed for demanding broadband applications.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Check for the KAD5510P-25 or KAD5510P-17 if lower sampling rates are acceptable, as they may offer different power profiles. For higher resolution needs, consider the KAD5512HP series, but verify pin compatibility and software configuration changes. No direct drop-in replacements are officially listed for this exact speed/resolution combination.
