KAD5612P-12Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5612P-12Q72 is a dual-channel, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) belonging to the KAD5612P family. It utilizes Kenet’s proprietary FemtoCharge technology on a standard CMOS process to achieve high performance with low power consumption. The device supports sampling rates up to 125 MSPS and features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for configuration control of gain, skew, and offset matching between cores. Digital output data is available in selectable LVDS or CMOS formats. It is housed in a 72-pin QFN package.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture with independent core configurability
• FemtoCharge technology for high-speed conversion efficiency
• Flexible digital output interface options
• Integrated SPI port for system control

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Wireless communication base stations
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q72' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required 125 MSPS sampling rate variant within the KAD5612P family. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and lead finish details with the manufacturer's current datasheet before procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-channel synchronization and 12-bit resolution are required at speeds up to 125 MSPS. Compare against the -25, -21, and -17 variants if higher or lower sampling rates better suit the application bandwidth. Verify that the 72-pin QFN footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component is part of the KAD5612P series of high-performance ADCs from Renesas Electronics (formerly Kenet). The series includes variants with different maximum sampling rates, such as the KAD5612P-25 (250 MSPS), KAD5612P-21 (210 MSPS), and KAD5612P-17 (170 MSPS). All members share pin compatibility and core technology.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include the KAD5612P-25Q72, KAD5612P-21Q72, and KAD5612P-17Q72. These offer higher sampling rates but may require verification of power supply and clocking capabilities.
