16-Bit, 8-Channel Serial Output Sampling Analog-to-Digital Converter

The ADS8344 is an 8-channel, 16-bit, sampling Analog-to-digital (A/D) converter with a synchronous serial Interface Typical power dissipation is 10mW at a 100kHz throughput rate and a +5V supply. The reference voltage (VREF) CAN be varied between 500mV and VCC , providing a corresponding input voltage range of 0V to VREF . The device includes a shutdown mode that reduces power dissipation to under 15W. The ADS8344 is tested down to 2.7V operation.
Low power, high speed, and an on-board multiplexer make the ADS8344 ideal for battery-operated systems such as personal digital assistants, portable multi-channel data loggers, and measurement equipment. The serial Interface also provides low-cost isolation for remote data acquisition. The ADS8344 is available in a QSOP-20 or SSOP-20 package and is ensured over the ?40C to +85C temperature range.
