The company claims that the device uses approximately 33% less PCB area than alternative devices that offer only half the channel density. The module incorporates all associated internal buffers, decoupling and by-pass capacitors for data acquisition, further reducing component count and simplifying board layout. This is in addition to embedding 256 low-power, low-noise, low-input-current integrators, simultaneous sample-and-hold circuitry, and two high-speed A/D converters with configurable sampling rates.
The converter consumes 3 mW of power per channel at any throughput, which is the same as competing devices that integrate only 128 channels.
