Sienna Semiconductor data converters feature sample rates from 20 to 250 Msps

A new data converter platform is now available, offering 10-, 12-, 14-, and 16-bit resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with sample rates ranging from 20 to 250 megasamples per second (Msps). The devices are part of a scalable architecture that allows factory configuration to meet various application needs in industrial and communication systems.

The architecture enables the production of over 150 distinct ADC variants by mid-2026. Fifty configurations are introduced in the initial release, offering pin-compatible replacements for commonly used devices. These devices maintain performance parity with existing converters and are designed to reduce sourcing challenges through more predictable availability and simplified inventory models.

Unlike traditional ADC manufacturing, which often relies on separate wafer stacks for each product type, this series uses a configurable design approach. This enables broader product coverage without requiring high-volume demand for each variant. As a result, customers can access lower-volume ADC options without facing extended lead times or limited support.

The components are offered in configurations that match widely used pinouts and functional profiles, supporting direct integration into existing hardware systems. The converters are targeted at high-resolution signal acquisition needs in environments such as industrial automation, wireless infrastructure, and embedded systems.

Additional features of the roadmap include plans for higher-speed converters and mixed-signal devices. These include digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and transceivers with sampling rates up to 4 Giga samples per second (Gsps), which are expected to become available in 2026.

The entire development process — including intellectual property — is based in the United States, with manufacturing in regions outside China. The initiative is structured to provide flexible support for evolving customer needs, with a roadmap that can adapt to market demand.
