to find an ADC equipped with buffer and do integration?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS7881, ADS8422

hi Everybody,

I am working on a signal which should be sampled and integrated.

sampling rate >= 3.3 MSPS

resolution >= 12 bit

please inform me with an ADC having some buffer on it and calculate integration?

regards,

Rasool

  • Ras,


    Based on the data rate and resolution that you need, you are describing a SAR type ADC. I personally don't support this type of ADC, but can help find someone who does.

    However, I'm not sure what you mean by calculating the integration. Can you please explain this? Also, can you describe your application in more detail? It will help us with identify what ADC you need.

  • in the application it should to be captured the waveform of a pulse current.
    the sampling duration is 30 us and the required sampling rate is >= 3.3 MSPS.

    in the design the current sensed by a rogowski coil which should be integrated.

    so i need an ADC which has some buffer on it and if possible do the integration.

  • Hello Rasool,

    Unfortunately, we do not have a SAR ADC that incorporates an internal buffer supporting 3.3MSPS.

    The ADS7881 is a Single-Ended 12-B SAR ADC supporting 4-MSPS with a  digital parallel interface.  It incorporates an internal reference and reference buffer. 

    Another option is the ADS8422, 16-B fully-differential input SAR ADC, with parallel interface, incorporating an internal reference and reference buffer.

    As Joe has mention, if you let us know the amplitude, common-mode, input frequency and impedance requirements from the Rogowsky coil, we could suggest an external buffer circuit to work in your design.  


    Thank you and Best Regards,

    Luis

  • thank you Luis,

    please excuse me for the misinforming about buffer in the previous posts. i need a buffer for data, a memory storing converted samples.

    there is an original current which is sensed by a rogowski coil.

    should to sample the rogowski signal and integrate it

    i am finding an ADC equipped with some memory.

    regards,

  • Hello Rasool,


    Unfortunately, we currently do not offer a SAR ADC that incorporates memory and/or an accumulator performing the integration operation and supporting 3.3MSPS at 12-B resolution.

    The ADS7881 will provide the 12-B data for each conversion through the parallel interface. One possible solution is to perform the integration on a controller or FPGA.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Luis

  • dear Luis,
    some ADCs have FIFO on them.
    what is it?

    thank you,
