The most recent 8-pin, 12-bit A/D converters that Burr-Brown has introduced to the market are advertised as highspeed, micro power, low priced sampling SAR devices.During product development and the initial introductionperiod, the engineering effort was placed on optimizing thecombination of 12 bits with high speed, low power and lowcost. Burr-Brown Applications has revisited these convertersto find that the claims of high speed and micro power at12 bits are only part of the story. If power savings is apriority and fewer bits are tolerable in the application, theseparts can be operated at much higher speeds and withconsiderably lower power dissipation. The products that arediscussed in this application note are the ADS7816, ADS7817and ADS7822 (Figure 1).
