Analog Devices’ Data Acquisition Chip Enables High Slice Count CT Scanners for Faster, Clearer Images

The ADAS1128 is a 24-bit current-to-digital converter that changes photodiode array signals into digital signals. The product offers 128 data conversion channels, provides an unparalleled increase in speed from 6kSPS (kilosamples per second) to 20kSPS, and supports four times more channels (128 versus 32) than any other integrated converter solution available on the market today. This level of performance and integration means a 50 percent reduction of a CT detection system's electronics cost versus older designs. (Graphic: Business Wire)
