This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose category on DigiKey.com
Products in this family are used for the conversion of information between analog and digital representations and are adapted for specific use cases or integrate additional features or functionality not commonly encountered in general-purpose data converters. Examples include devices that integrate low-noise amplifiers and variable gain stages for ultrasound or automotive radar applications, audio and video-focused products, devices that integrate functionality to indicate measured values on segmented displays, devices integrating galvanic isolation between input and output, and others.
SelectionCharacteristics
Type: Describes the function of the device.
Number of Channels: Describes the number of data that can be sampled.
Resolution (Bits): The length of the digital word used by a device to represent a continuously variable physical quantity.
Sampling Rate (Per Second): The number of measurements per second the device is able to take.
Data Interface: Describes the format of how the device communicates the data.
Voltage Supply Source: A general description of how the device is nominally powered.
Voltage - Supply: Manufacturer’s characterization of maximum change in output voltage resulting from variations in input voltage.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and/or other system components.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Package / Case: Describes the footprint and type of body the item has based on a general standard.
Supplier Device Package: Describes the footprint and type of body the item has based on what the manufacturer names it.
