Stellamar is a full service design, consulting and IP licensing firm specializing in digital and mixed signal applications, with particular deep domain expertise in creating solutions, which enable analog functions to be implemented in a digital environment.
Digital ADC
This digital implementation of an ADC enables Analog to Digital conversion to be implemented in a pure digital ASIC or FPGA technology with a few external passive components.
Benefits include:
- No analog block development required
- Shorter / lower risk design cycles
- Process / technology independent
- Digital layout
- Digital testing
- Smaller silicon area
- Lower power consumption
- Suitable for very low supply voltages
- Extremely low offset drift
- Suitable for rad-hard environments
Configurations are available that support up to 14 bits of resolution at 10 kHz bandwidth, 12 bits up to 20 kHz bandwidth, and 10 bits up to 100 kHz bandwidth. Development is continuing to support higher bandwidths.
