Products for high-speed and high-temperature operation applications
ADC providing integrated features and supporting 80MSPS

Microchip Technology launched the MCP37Dx1-80 family of pipelined ADC products on the 5th.

The product, available in 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit versions, features resolution options and various built-in digital functions, and is AEC-Q100 certified to support a higher temperature range. It also supports 80 MSPS for the first time.
The MCP27Dx1-80 ADC is one of the few high-speed ADCs in the industry that meets the automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standard and is suitable for demanding and high-level technical applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, and test and measurement equipment.

In addition, the MCP27Dx1-80 ADC improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) through a decimation filter, supports communication designs with a digital down-converter (DDC), and improves accuracy and performance by using a noise-forming requantizer of a 12-bit ADC.

In addition, the compact 8mm x 8mm 121-pin BGA (ball grid array) package, composed of a 0.65mm thick pitch, includes an internal reference decoupling capacitor, which eliminates the need for an external bypass capacitor, further reducing costs and the overall footprint.

Bryan Liddiard, Vice President of Mixed-Signal and Linear at Microchip, said, “Microchip’s latest ADC provides integrated digital processing capabilities that simplify design and lower development costs, and will extend our high-speed products to a much wider range of system design concepts.”
