KAD5610P-25Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5610P-25Q72 is a dual-channel, 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It operates at a maximum sampling rate of 250 MSPS and utilizes Kenet’s proprietary FemtoCharge technology on a standard CMOS process. The device features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for configuration control of gain, skew, and offset matching between channels. Digital outputs are available in selectable LVDS or CMOS formats. It is housed in a 72-contact QFN package with an exposed paddle, measuring 10 x 10 mm, and supports differential input types.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture with configurable gain, skew, and offset matching via SPI port
• High-speed sampling capability up to 250 MSPS using FemtoCharge technology
• Flexible digital output interface supporting both LVDS and CMOS formats

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Power Amplifier Linearization
• Radar and Satellite Antenna Array Processing
• Broadband Communications
• Communications Test Equipment
• WiMAX and Microwave Receivers

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q72' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package variant details. Ensure compatibility with required power supply voltages and interface standards before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Validate pinout alignment with PCB layout specifications to prevent connection errors during assembly.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when high-speed dual-channel conversion at 250 MSPS is required. Compare against lower-speed variants like the KAD5610P-21 or KAD5610P-17 if reduced power consumption or cost is prioritized over maximum throughput. Ensure system design accommodates the 10x10mm QFN-72 footprint and thermal requirements associated with high-frequency operation.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the KAD5610P family of low-power, high-performance ADCs. Other members include the KAD5610P-21 (210 MSPS), KAD5610P-17 (170 MSPS), and KAD5610P-12 (125 MSPS). All variants share pin compatibility and core technology but differ in maximum sampling rates. The KAD5610P-25 represents the fastest option within this specific series.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include the KAD5610P-21Q72, KAD5610P-17Q72, and KAD5610P-12Q72. These substitutes offer lower sampling rates but maintain identical packaging and interface configurations.
