KAD5512HP-17Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5512HP-17Q72 is a high-performance, single-channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from the KAD5512 family. It operates at a maximum sampling rate of 170 MSPS and utilizes Intersil’s proprietary FemtoCharge technology on a standard CMOS process. The device features an analog input bandwidth of 950 MHz and supports both LVDS and LVCMOS digital output formats. It functions on a single 1.8 V supply and is available in a 72-lead QFN package with an exposed paddle. Performance specifications include an SNR of 68.3 dBFS at an input frequency of 105 MHz (-1dBFS) and an SFDR of 81.1 dBc under the same conditions.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Pin-compatible with the KAD5512P family, offering enhanced signal-to-noise ratio performance.
• Supports programmable gain, offset, and skew control via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) port.
• Includes selectable clock divider options (÷1, ÷2, or ÷4) and clock phase selection for flexible timing integration.
• Features low-power nap and sleep modes to reduce energy consumption during idle periods.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Wireless communication base stations
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Software-defined radio systems

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q72' against official Renesas documentation to confirm the exact package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure that the component status is current, as this part may be subject to lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee compatibility with your design requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, high-speed 12-bit ADC is required with an input bandwidth up to 950 MHz. It is suitable for designs needing configurable digital outputs in either LVDS or LVCMOS formats. Consider the 1.8 V single-supply operation and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) for environmental compatibility.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This model belongs to the KAD5512 family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters manufactured by Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil). The family includes variants with resolutions of 10, 12, and 14 bits and sampling rates ranging from 125 MSPS to 500 MSPS. The KAD5512HP series represents the high-performance tier within this portfolio.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Publicly documented substitutes are not explicitly listed for this specific part number. Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the KAD5512 family, such as the KAD5512P series, but verify functional differences carefully.
