4-Channel, 12-Bit, 40MSPS Analog-to-Digital Converter

with Serial LVDS Interface

An integrated phase lock loop (PLL) multiplies the

incoming ADC sampling clock by a factor of 12. This

The ADS5240 is a high-performance, 40MSPS,

4-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Internal

references are provided, simplifying system design

requirements. Low power consumption allows for the

highest of system integration densities. Serial LVDS

(low-voltage differential signaling) outputs reduce the

number of interface lines and package size.
