"The ADS5440 leverages TI's unique, high-speed BiCom-III complementary bipolar Si-Ge process to deliver the highest SNR and SFDR performance at high input frequencies," said Roberto Sadkowski, Business Unit Manager for TI's high-speed ADCs.

The ADS5440 operates from a 5V supply, while providing LVDS-compatible digital outputs from a 3.3V supply. In addition, an internal reference and input buffer simplifies system design requirements. The device is specified over the industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C.

The ADS5440 is optimized to work with TI's high-performance TMS320C6x^TM DSP platform and a range of high-speed amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters, such as the THS4509 fully differential amplifier and DAC5687 16-bit, 500MSPS DAC, to provide a truly state-of-the-art signal chain for wideband applications.
