Overview
The AD4006BRMZ-RL7 is a high-accuracy, high-speed, low-power 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device operates from a single power supply and features an externally applied reference voltage, which can be set independently of the supply voltage. The AD4006 is part of the AD4002/AD4006/AD4010 family, known for their Easy Drive technology, which reduces signal chain complexity and power consumption, enabling higher channel density.
