KAD5610P-21Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5610P-21Q72 is a dual-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It operates at a maximum sampling rate of 210 MSPS and utilizes a pipeline architecture. The device features differential inputs and supports both LVDS and LVCMOS digital output interfaces. It functions on a single 1.8 V supply for both analog and digital sections. Key performance metrics include a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 60.8 dB and an spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 82 dB. The component is housed in a 72-contact QFN package with dimensions of 10 x 10 mm and a pitch of 0.5 mm.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as sources attribute this part to both ETC2 and Renesas Electronics/Intersil. Confirm the specific suffix 'Q72' corresponds to the 72-pin QFN package variant. Ensure the datasheet matches the 210 MSPS speed grade distinct from the -25, -17, or -12 family members. Check RoHS compliance status and lead-free markings on the component marking code.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when a 210 MSPS sampling rate is required instead of the faster 250 MSPS (-25) or slower variants. Choose based on the need for dual-channel operation with independent channel control. Verify that the 1.8 V single-supply requirement aligns with the system power budget. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 10x10 mm QFN-72 footprint and exposed paddle thermal requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the KAD5610P family of low-power, high-performance dual-channel ADCs. The family includes pin-compatible variants with different maximum sampling rates: 250 MSPS (KAD5610P-25), 170 MSPS (KAD5610P-17), and 125 MSPS (KAD5610P-12). All members share the same 72-contact QFN package and functional interface, allowing for design flexibility across different bandwidth requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible substitutes within the same family include KAD5610P-25Q72 (250 MSPS), KAD5610P-17Q72 (170 MSPS), and KAD5610P-12Q72 (125 MSPS). Selection depends on whether higher or lower sampling speeds are acceptable for the application.
