DESCRIPTION

The ADS8344 is an 8-channel, 16-bit, sampling

Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with a synchronous serial

interface. Typical power dissipation is 10mW at a 100kHz

throughput rate and a +5V supply. The reference voltage

device includes a shutdown mode that reduces power dissi-

pation to under 15

µW. The ADS8344 is tested down to 2.7V

operation.

Low power, high speed, and an on-board multiplexer make

the ADS8344 ideal for battery-operated systems such as

personal digital assistants, portable multi-channel data log-

gers, and measurement equipment. The serial interface also

provides low-cost isolation for remote data acquisition. The

ADS8344 is available in a QSOP-20 or SSOP-20 package

and is ensured over the –40

°C to +85°C temperature range.
