Designed for IF stages in digital-architecture signal paths, the AD9244 A/D converter gives bipolar performance but with CMOS power consumption, and is especially well-suited for microcell and picocell applications. This 65 Msps, 14-bit-accurate converter consumes just 590 mW of power—one half of existing similar devices—and can handle bandwidths up to 200 MHz. You can also use this converter in imaging and ultrasound applications. SNR is 75 dB, while spur-free dynamic range is 90 dB. The converter guarantees no missing codes over its full operating range, and is packaged in a 48-pin LFQP housing. Priced at US$29 each in 1000 pieces, you can also get a 40-Msamples/s version for US$20 that consumes just 345 mW.
