KAD5512P-21Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5512P-21Q72 is a single-channel, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from the KAD5512P family. It operates at a maximum sampling rate of 210 MS/s using a pipeline architecture with differential input. The device features programmable gain, offset, and skew control via an SPI interface. Digital outputs are available in selectable LVDS or LVCMOS formats. It functions on a single 1.8V supply and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Renesas distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for end-of-life notifications as this series may have limited availability. Ensure proper handling for moisture-sensitive devices during storage and assembly processes.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12-bit resolution and 210 MSPS speed are required. Consider pin-compatible alternatives like the KAD5512HP-12 if higher SNR is needed. Verify that the 1.8V supply voltage matches system requirements and that LVDS/LVCMOS outputs fit the receiving logic.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the KAD5512P family of low-power, high-performance ADCs. The family includes 10, 12, and 14-bit variants with sampling rates ranging from 125 MSPS to 500 MSPS. These devices share a common pinout and architectural foundation based on Intersil's proprietary technology.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible upgrades within the KAD5512 family such as the HP variant for improved noise performance. Verify if newer Renesas ADC models offer similar specifications with updated support status.
