I tried to e-mail a response but it bounced, so I'll have to
clutter the net with it.

AMD makes a 4 bit 100Mhz A to D converter. I used to be the
applications engineer in charge of it ( two years or more ago ).
I think Plessey and Analog Devices also make these parts.
National's half-flash should also fit the bill although you'd
be throwing away 4 bits.

How many do you need, production quantities or one-off quantities?

Give me a call and we'll discuss it further.
