Overview
The AD9012BQ is a high-speed 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This ultrahigh speed ADC is fabricated in an advanced bipolar process, enabling it to operate at sampling rates of up to 100 megasamples per second. The device features 256 parallel comparator stages, which are decoded to drive TTL-compatible output latches. It is known for its exceptionally wide large-signal analog input bandwidth of 160 MHz, making it suitable for accurate acquisition of high-speed pulse inputs without the need for an external track-and-hold circuit.
