Analog Devices is aiming its latest level-translating ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) driver at signal conditioning circuit in high-voltage industrial and instrumentation designs.

The intention is to enable designers to use a single component to attenuate, level-shift, and drive low-voltage ADCs in high-voltage applications, said the supplier.

By translating +/-10V signals to 0 to-4V input levels, the 15MHz AD8275 is suitable for driving higher-speed 16-bit successive approximation (SAR) converters, including the company’s AD7685 SAR ADC.

The amplifier can be configured for differential outputs to drive differential input converters, such as the AD7688 PulSAR ADC, and can be used to drive lower sample-rate 18-bit converters, including ADI’s AD7678 PulSAR ADC.

The AD8275 G = 0.2 difference amplifier includes internal, matched, precision laser-trimmed resistors that achieve 0.002% gain error, and 1ppm/ ºC (maximum) gain drift. It is a fast amplifier with a 450ns settling time to 0.001%.

Its footprint is an 8-lead, 3x5mm MSOP (mini small-outline package).
