ADC16DX370: Power Consumption

Part Number: ADC16DX370

Team,

I have a customer trying to calculate power dissipation in the ADC16DX370. From the datasheet, we see the consumption per channel of 800mW, but what is the dissipation for the overhead of the device? I see the parameter Pt, but its tough to understand how the 1800mW breaks down. Can you walk me through how to calculate power in the device? 

  • Hi Carolus,

    We arrive to 800 mW per channel as follow.

    Multiply each supply voltage and current and sum together

    (3.0V* 230mA + 1.8V * 360mA +1.2V * 172mA + 1.2V * 52mA) = 1606.8 mW

    Divide by the number of channels:

    1608.8mW / 2 = 804.4 mW per channel.

    Best Regards,

    Dan
