The ADS7826/27/29 is a family of 10/8/12-bit sampling analog-to-digital converters (A/D) with assured specifications at 2.7-V supply voltage. It requires very little power even when operating at the full sample rate. At lower conversion rates, the high speed of the device enables it to spend most of its time in the power down mode-- the power dissipation is less than 60 W at 7.5 kHz.
