The AD9236 is a monolithic, single 3 V supply, 12-bit, 80 MSPS analog-to-digital converter featuring a high performance sample- and-hold amplifier (SHA) and voltage reference. The AD9236 uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture, which provides high resolution and low power.
The AD9236 is a monolithic, single‑supply 12‑bit ADC that operates at up to 80 MSPS. It features a high‑performance sample‑and‑hold amplifier, on‑chip reference, and a differential input architecture with up to 500 MHz analog bandwidth. The device is supplied by a 3 V rail (2.7 V‑3.6 V) and includes a separate digital output driver supply for 2.5 V or 3.3 V logic families.
Key specifications include 366 mW power consumption at full rate, SNR of 70.4 dBc, SFDR of 87.8 dBc, and guaranteed no missing codes across the full 12‑bit range. The AD9236 is suited for high‑end medical imaging, communications receivers, battery‑powered instruments, and low‑cost digital oscilloscopes.
