KAD5612P-17Q72

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The KAD5612P-17Q72 is a dual-channel, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter 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 a sampling rate of 170 MSPS and features differential analog inputs. Digital output data is available in selectable LVDS or CMOS formats. The component operates with an analog supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 1.9 V and a digital supply voltage of 1.8 V. It is housed in a 72-contact QFN package with an exposed paddle.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Q72' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the 170 MSPS sampling rate variant within the KAD5612P family. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact pinout configurations and thermal pad requirements during procurement validation.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-channel 12-bit resolution is required at 170 MSPS. Compare against the KAD5612P-25 for higher speed needs or the KAD5612P-12 for lower power applications. Verify that the system design accommodates the specified 1.8 V digital and 1.7–1.9 V analog supply voltages. Confirm interface requirements for LVDS or CMOS outputs before finalizing the part number.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component is part of the KAD5612P family of low-power, high-performance dual-channel ADCs. The family includes variants with different maximum sampling rates, such as 250 MSPS, 210 MSPS, and 125 MSPS. All members share pin compatibility and utilize the same FemtoCharge technology, allowing for flexible system upgrades based on bandwidth requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible alternatives within the same family include the KAD5612P-25Q72, KAD5612P-21Q72, and KAD5612P-12Q72. These parts offer different sampling rates while maintaining identical package and interface characteristics.
