The AD9221ARZ is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for high-speed, precision analog-to-digital conversion. It belongs to the AD9221 family of ADCs and is manufactured by Analog Devices, a renowned semiconductor company. This IC is widely used in various applications such as communications, industrial instrumentation, medical imaging, and scientific research.
The AD9221ARZ features a 12-bit resolution with a sampling rate of up to 65 mega-samples per second (MSPS). It utilizes a pipeline architecture that enables high-speed conversion while maintaining excellent linearity and low power consumption. This makes it suitable for capturing fast and accurate digital representations of analog signals.
One notable feature of the AD9221ARZ is its excellent dynamic performance. It offers a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 68 decibels (dB) and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of -77dB. These specifications ensure the faithful reproduction of tiny analog signals with minimal noise and distortion.
Another key feature is its input voltage range flexibility. It can accept differential and single-ended input voltage signals spanning from 0 to VREF, which makes it highly versatile in different system configurations. Additionally, it offers a wide input bandwidth that extends up to 500 megahertz (MHz), enabling accurate capturing of high-frequency signals.
