AD7608 Replacement: GX6608 Fully Hardware and Software Compatible 18-Bit ADC
GX6608 is designed for industrial measurement, power monitoring and multichannel data acquisition systems requiring high resolution and simultaneous sampling.
The device operates from a single 5 V supply and supports selectable ±10 V and ±5 V true bipolar input ranges. Its integrated 1 MΩ input buffers, second-order antialiasing filters and precision reference circuitry simplify analog front-end and PCB design.
GX6608 as a Direct AD7608 Replacement
GX6608 provides eight single-ended analog input channels with simultaneous sampling and 18-bit resolution. Each channel supports conversion rates of up to 200 kSPS, allowing eight signals to be captured at the same sampling instant.
For existing AD7608-based products, the compatible LQFP-64 package, pin configuration, analog input architecture and digital interfaces support direct board-level replacement. The original schematic, PCB and system architecture can be retained.
GX6608 is also suitable for new designs requiring multichannel bipolar signal acquisition, high input impedance and flexible processor connectivity.
Pin-to-Pin Hardware and Software Compatibility
GX6608 provides pin-to-pin hardware compatibility with AD7608. Existing LQFP-64 footprints, analog input connections, power architecture, control signals and digital data interfaces can continue to be used.
Parallel and SPI-compatible serial operating modes can be selected through pin configuration. This allows the ADC to connect directly to MCUs, DSPs and FPGAs using the existing processor interface and acquisition software.
The combined hardware and software compatibility helps reduce redesign work and supports faster migration from AD7608 to GX6608.
