[{"type":"text","content":"Engineers can design high-speed digital control loops with the highest dynamic range and lowest latency while reducing power consumption by as much as 65%\n\n\nDALLAS, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today expanded its portfolio of high-speed data converters with a broad new family of successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that enable high-precision data acquisition in industrial designs. Featuring best-in-class dynamic range at the lowest power consumption, the ADC3660 family includes eight SAR ADCs in 14-, 16- and 18-bit resolution at sampling speeds ranging from 10 to 125 MSPS, helping designers improve signal resolution, extend battery life and strengthen system protection. For more information, explore the ADC3660 family at www.ti.com/ADC3660family-pr.\nIncreasing the precision of high-speed data acquisition addresses a rising need for real-time control in industrial systems. In a high-speed digital control loop, the ADC acts in a complex system to respond to fast changes in voltage or current to help prevent costly damage to critical components in power-management systems. As the number of data-intensive tasks in industrial systems increases, it becomes more important for the system to make quick decisions to prevent system failure, requiring higher precision at faster speeds.\nProtect industrial systems with faster response times in digital control loops\nThe ADC3660 family delivers up to 80% lower latency than competitive devices at similar speeds. For example, system designers can achieve one-clock (8 ns) ADC latency with the 125-MSPS, 14-bit, dual-channel ADC3664. The family's ultra-low latency enables high-speed digital control loops in a wide variety of industrial systems to more accurately monitor and respond to voltage and current spikes, increasing tool precision in applications such as semiconductor manufacturing systems.\nGet industry-leading noise performance at the lowest power consumption\nUp until now, engineers designing industrial systems had to choose between excellent noise performance and low power consumption – an especially difficult decision for those designing battery-operated devices that require precise data acquisition. The ADC3660 family eliminates this trade-off. For example, the ADC3683 – the industry's fastest 18-bit ADC a...
