AS1542
16-Channel, 1 Msps, 12-Bit ADC with Sequencer
Product Brief
1 General Description
The AS1542 is a 12-bit high-speed, low-power, 16-chan-
nel, successive-approximation ADC that operates from
a single 2.7 to 5.25V supply. The device features high
throughput rates (1Msps) and a low-noise, wide-band-
width track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input fre-
quencies in excess of 1 MHz.
The AS1542 features 16 single-ended or 8 fully differen-
tial analog inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a
programmed selection of channels to be converted
sequentially. The conversion time is determined by the
SCLK frequency (also used as the master clock to con-
trol the conversion).
The conversion process and data acquisition are con-
trolled using a chip select pin and a serial clock signal,
allowing the device to easily interface with microproces-
sors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling
edge of CSN and conversion is also initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the
device.
The AS1542 uses advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput
rates. At maximum throughput rates, the AS1542 con-
sumes just 2.8mA (@3.6V), and 3.5mA (@5.25V).
By using internal control register, single-ended or fully-
differential conversion mode with different input ranges
can be used with either straight binary or twos comple-
ment output coding.
The device is available in a TSSOP-28 pin package.
