3 Description

The ADS4245 is a low-speed variant of the

ADS42xx ultralow-power family of dual-channel, 14-

bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Innovative

design techniques are used to achieve highdynamic

performance, while consuming extremely low

power with 1.8V supply. This topology makes the

ADS4245 well-suited for multi-carrier, wide-bandwidth

communications applications.

The ADS4245 has gain options that can be used to

improve SFDR performance at lower full-scale input

ranges. These device includes a dc offset correction

loop that can be used to cancel the ADC offset. Both

DDR (double data rate) LVDS and parallel CMOS

digital output interfaces are available in a compact

VQFN-64 PowerPAD™ package.

The device includes internal references while the

traditional reference pins and associated decoupling

capacitors have been eliminated. The ADS4245 is

specified over the military temperature range (–55°C

to 125°C).
