Clock & Power Silicon IP

Clock & Power Silicon IP

ShortLink has developed several A/D Converters in various topoligies for different applications. The main two series are SAR ADCs for monitoring purposes, and Sigma Delta for higher performance applications. Our high-performance ADCs are typically used for Sensor/MEMS applications, and radio transceivers.

This page contains information about one of our SAR ADCs with integrated temperatur sensor, and some of our latest Sigma Delta ADCs. Our designs are configurable and can be tailored for different applications.
