KAD5610P-17Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5610P-17Q72 is a dual-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from the KAD5610P family. It utilizes Kenet’s proprietary FemtoCharge technology on a standard CMOS process to achieve a maximum sampling rate of 170 MSPS. The device features differential analog inputs and supports serial peripheral interface (SPI) configuration for gain, skew, and offset matching between channels. Digital output data is available in selectable LVDS or CMOS formats. It operates with 1.8V analog and digital supply voltages and is housed in a 72-contact QFN package with an exposed paddle.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture with independent core control via SPI
• FemtoCharge technology enabling high-speed conversion at 170 MSPS
• Configurable digital output interfaces supporting LVDS and CMOS standards

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Radar and satellite antenna array processing
• Broadband communications systems
• High-performance data acquisition equipment
• Communications test equipment
• WiMAX and microwave receivers

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source carefully as the KAD5610P series originates from Kenet, which was acquired by Renesas Electronics. Confirm that the specific suffix Q72 corresponds to the 72-pin QFN package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing system power supplies and digital logic levels before procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when a sampling rate of 170 MSPS is required, distinguishing it from the faster 250 MSPS (KAD5610P-25) or slower 125 MSPS (KAD5610P-12) variants within the same pin-compatible family. Consider the trade-off between power consumption and speed relative to other family members. Verify that the 10-bit resolution meets the dynamic range requirements of the application.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the KAD5610P family of low-power, high-performance dual-channel ADCs. The family shares a common pinout and functional block diagram, differing primarily in maximum sampling rates. The KAD5610P-17Q72 represents the mid-range performance tier, offering 170 MSPS while maintaining compatibility with designs intended for the higher-speed 250 MSPS or lower-speed 125 MSPS versions.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible substitutes within the same family include KAD5610P-25Q72 (250 MSPS), KAD5610P-21Q72 (210 MSPS), and KAD5610P-12Q72 (125 MSPS). These parts share identical packaging and pin assignments but differ in maximum sampling frequency and potentially power consumption profiles.
