*** TI Introduces Eight-Channel ADCs with Serial LVDS Interface
(February 2)

Texas Instruments Incorporated announced a family of octal, 10- and 12-
bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) from the company's Burr-Brown
product line.

The ADS527x family features serial low-voltage differential-signaling
(LVDS) outputs and consumes 123mW of power per channel at 65 MSPS
(138mW/channel at 70 MSPS).

The ADS527x family includes 40, 50, 65 and 70 MSPS (mega samples per
second) versions in 12-bit resolution, and 40, 50 and 65 MSPS versions
in 10-bit resolution. All products in this family are both pin and
serial LVDS compatible.

The ADS527x family is optimized to work with TI's TMS320C6000 DSP
platform, offers signal-to-noise ratio of 70.5dB (60.5dB for the 10-bit
family) at 10 MHz input frequency and operates from a 3.3V supply.

All eight channels share a common sample clock with a peak-to-peak
differential input range of 2V.

Samples and Evaluation Modules of the ADS527x family are available now
with volume production scheduled for March 2004. The devices are
packaged in an 80-lead TQFP.
