DESCRIPTION
The ADC12C170 is a high-performance CMOS
analog-to-digital converter capable of converting
analog input signals into 12-Bit digital words at rates
up to 170 Mega Samples Per Second (MSPS). This
converter uses a differential, pipelined architecture
with digital error correction and an on-chip sample-
and-hold circuit to minimize power consumption and
the external component count, while providing
excellent dynamic performance. A unique sample-
and-hold stage yields a full-power bandwidth of 1.1
GHz. The ADC12C170 operates from dual +3.3V and
+1.8V power supplies and consumes 715 mW of
power at 170 MSPS.
The separate +1.8V supply for the digital output
interface allows lower power operation with reduced
noise. A power-down feature reduces the power
consumption to 5 mW while still allowing fast wake-up
time to full operation. In addition there is a sleep
feature which consumes 50 mW of power and has a
faster wake-up time.
The differential inputs provide a full scale differential
input swing equal to 2 times the reference voltage. A
stable 1.0V internal voltage reference is provided, or
the ADC12C170 can be operated with an external
reference.
Clock mode (differential versus single-ended) and
output data format (offset binary versus 2's
complement) are pin-selectable. A duty cycle
stabilizer maintains performance over a wide range of
input clock duty cycles.
The ADC12C170 is pin compatible with the
ADC14155, ADC11C125 and ADC11C170.
It is available in a 48-lead WQFN package and
operates over the industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.
