ZADCS146/147
12-Bit, 200ksps, ADC Family
Brief Description
The ZMDI ZADCS146 and ZADCS147 are 12-Bit
low power analog-to-digital (A/D) converters with
up to 250ksps conversion rate. The converter is
based on successive-approximation-register
architecture.
All converters have an 8-channel input multiplexer
and a high-bandwidth a track/hold circuit. All
analog inputs are software configurable as eight /
four/two single ended or four/two/one differential
analog input channels as well as for unipolar or
bipolar output coding.
The ZADCS146 and ZADCS147 operate from a
single +2.7V to +5.25V supply.
The synchronous four wire serial interface
connects directly to a microcontroller using one of
the standards like SPI™, QSPI™, and Microwire™
without external components.
The ZADCS146 and ZADCS147 use either the
external serial-interface clock or an internally
generated clock to perform successive-
approximation analog-to-digital conversions. The
internal clock mode can be used to run
synchronous conversions on several ZMDI ADCs
in parallel.
The ZADCS 146 is equipped with a high accurate
internal 2.5V reference with an additional external
±1.5% voltage adjustment range.
The device provides a hard-wired shut-down pin
(nSHDN) and software-selectable power-down
modes to automatically shut down the IC at the
end of a conversion. Accessing the serial interface
automatically powers up the ZADCS146 and
ZADCS147. A quick turn-on time allows the device
to be shut down between measurements.
