Texas Instruments Korea (Texas Instruments Korea, CEO Kent Chon, www.ti.com/ww/kr ) February 1, 2013 – Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced an eight-channel, 12-bit, 100-MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with the lowest power consumption in its class. The new ADS5295 consumes less than 80 mW per channel, helping reduce board heat and power dissipation in high-channel-density applications. The ADS5295 includes TI’s proprietary digital processing block that improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and filter harmonics, including commonly used digital functions, while reducing output data rates in narrowband applications. The ADS5295 is ideal for high-channel-count, phased-array architecture systems such as ultrasound, security X-ray and non-destructive testing (NDT).

Key Features and Benefits of the ADS5295
• Achieve exceptional speed and low noise with the lowest power consumption per channel: 100 MSPS, 8 channels consume only 80 mW per channel, allowing for increased channel count without increasing power consumption in high-density applications, and achieve low noise of 71 decibel full-scale (dBFS) SNR.
• Reduced system cost and complexity: TI's unique integrated digital processing block integrates key digital features commonly used, such as low-frequency noise suppression modes, digital filtering options and programmable mapping of low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output pins, reducing FPGA cost, simplifying LVDS output routing, reducing PCB layer count and reducing bill of materials (BOM) cost.
• Reduced interface lines: Data output can be done with one or two LVDS pins per channel, reducing the number of interface lines and enabling implementation of a two-wire interface, reducing serial data rates and FPGA costs.

Tools and Support
The ADS5295 can be evaluated under a variety of conditions using an evaluation module (EVM). The ADS5295EVM is currently available for $299, and an IBIS model for board signal integrity verification is also available.

Supply and Price
The ADS5295 is available now in an 80-pin HTQFP package and has a suggested retail price of $70 in 1,000-unit quantities.

Analog products and a full portfolio optimized for video applications
The ADS5295 is an addition to the ADS529x family, along with the 14-bit ADS5294 and the 12-bit ADS5292. These devices provide eight channels at 80 MSPS with 77 dBFS and 72 dBFS performance, respectively.
