Analog Devices AD7821 High-Speed 8-Bit ADC Datasheet
The AD7821 is a high-speed, 8-bit, sampling analog-to-digital converter that offers improved performance over the popular AD7820. It features a conversion time of 660 ns and a 100 kHz signal bandwidth. The device utilizes a half-flash conversion technique, which eliminates the need for an external clock signal, and includes a built-in track-and-hold function capable of digitizing full-scale signals up to 100 kHz.
