Model AS1545 offers 12-bit resolution on two independent 1 Msps ADCs, each with 6 input channels, combined with low power consumption. Rail to rail analog input range can be selected to be 0 V to VREF (or 2 VREF). Device operates from single 2.7 to 5.25 V supply and can be interfaced via high speed SPI/QSPI/Microwire or DSP. It is available in 5 x 5 mm 32-pin TQFN package.

Unterpremstaetten, Austria (May 7, 2008) austriamicrosystems (SWX: AMS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of high performance analog ICs for communications, industrial, medical and automotive applications, has introduced the AS1545, a dual high-speed successive-approximation ADC with low power consumption,excellent DC performance and outstanding dynamic specifications, expanding austriamicrosystems high-speed ADC portfolio.
The AS1545 offers 12-bit resolution on each of the two ADCs and uses advanced design techniques to achieve low power dissipation at high throughput rates. At a conversion speed of 1MSPS and including the internal 2.5V reference, the AS1545 uses only 5.5mA. In full power-down mode the supply current drops to less than 1A.
Two complete and independent ADC channels allow simultaneous sampling and conversion of two channels. The 12 input channels are software configurable allowing each ADC to offer six single-ended channels or three fully or pseudo differential pairs, as programmed. The conversion result of both ADCs is simultaneously available on
separate data lines or in succession on one data line if only one serial port is available.
"High speed dual converters like the AS1545 are ideal for motor control applications," said Walter Moshammer,Marketing Director Standard Linear at austriamicrosystems.
The 1MSPS dual ADC channels allow the simultaneous measurement of the difference of inputs. Additionally, the AS1545 offers a step-up/down counter for counting revolutions as well as a direction bit and information on the
quadrature signal phases.
AS1545 operates from a single 2.7 to 5.25 V supply and contains a Vdrive (interface drive voltage) function which enables the serial interface to connect directly to either 3 or 5 V processor systems independent of the ADCs supply voltage. The ADC can be interfaced via a high speed SPI/QSPI/Microwire or DSP interface.
The AS1545 offers a rail to rail analog input range and can be selected to be a 0 V to VREF(or 2 VREF), with either straight binary or two complement output coding. The common mode input range of the analog inputs also goes from rail to rail. The internal 2.5V reference can be overdriven when an external reference is preferred.
The AS1545 is available in a small 5x5mm 32-pin TQFN package suitable for operating environments ranging from -40C to +85C. Product-specific information and free samples via austriamicrosystems online shop ICdirect are available at http://www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS1545/description_AS1545.htm
