The STAR1010 is an ultra-low power audio ADC that achieves superior audio rate performance characterized by a 96dBA dynamic range while maintaining a power consumption below 200 microamps. This highly configurable ADC can operate in both over-sampled and Nyquist rate incremental modes, adapting flexibly to varying application requirements. Tested and silicon-proven in a 40-nanometer process, the STAR1010 stands out for its reliability and performance in demanding audio applications.
