ADS8686S: ADS8686S

Part Number: ADS8686S


Hello 

I need help in locating Bipolar Input ADC's such as those similar or

equivalent to AD7616, AD7617

Maybe you can consider this as a suggestion.

While looking for the equivalent of the above I cam across this P/N ADS8686S

This is listed under Precision ADC's.

Most are Unipolar Inputs while I was looking for Bipolar Inputs.

The Parametric Table doesn't have a column for Input Range ;

at least I couldn't find one for say -10V to +10V Input,  12 to 16 Bit, 12 Ch or more.

If the Parametric Table can be configured to include this feature, would make it 

so much easier to find

Thanks and with best regards

Varun

  • Hi Varan,

    When you get to the parametric table, there are sub 'choices' that include the max/min input voltage range.  I see your point, it is not listed as a single +/- input voltage range, but the same basic functionality is there:

    I hope this helps you narrow down part selection options and I'll forward your comments to our web design team.

  • Hi Tom

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    Yes, that did help in narrowing down the table

    Thanks again.

    There is another problem, seems worldwide;

    a terrible shortage of IC's including TI's where many

    of favorite Op Amps are in short supply for quite sometime.

    Here again, some of the ADC's that I would have loved to buy

    are simply with zilch Inventory not only with TI Stores, but

    Digikey, Mouser, Element14 to name a few ..

    Wonder how long will this last?
