The agileADC Analog-to-Digital Converter is a traditional Charge-Redistribution SAR ADC that is referenced to VDD, VSS. The architecture can achieve up to 10-bit resolution at sample rates up to 20 MSps. It includes an eight-channel input multiplexor. Some inputs will be buffered inside the ADC, whereas others will bypass the buffer and be connected directly to the ADC to provide full rail-to-rail capability.
Agile Analog designs are based on tried and tested architectures to ensure reliability and functionality. Our design methodology is programmatic, systematic and repeatable leading to analog IP that is more verifiable, more robust and more reliable. Our methodology also allows us to quickly re-target our IP to different process options. We support all the major foundries including TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Intel Foundry, Samsung Foundry, UMC and Other Foundries.
