The KAD5512HP is the high-performance member of the

KAD5512 family of 12-bit analog-to-digital converters.

Designed with Intersil’s proprietary FemtoCharge™

technology on a standard CMOS process, the family supports

sampling rates of up to 250MSPS. The KAD5512HP is part of

a pin-compatible portfolio of 10, 12 and 14-bit A/Ds with

sample rates ranging from 125MSPS to 500MSPS.

A serial peripheral interface (SPI) port allows for extensive

configurability, as well as fine control of various parameters

such as gain and offset.

Digital output data is presented in selectable LVDS or CMOS

formats. The KAD5512HP is available in 72- and 48-contact

QFN packages with an exposed paddle. Operating from a

1.8V supply, performance is specified over the full industrial

temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
