The KAD5514P is a family of low-power, high-performance

14-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 KAD5514P 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 KAD5514P 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).
