DESCRIPTION
The DDC114 is a 20-bit, quad channel, current-input
analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It combines both
current-to-voltage and A/D conversion so that four
low-level current output devices, such as photodiodes, can
be directly connected to its inputs and digitized.
For each of the four inputs, the DDC114 provides a
dual-switched integrator front-end. This design allows for
continuous current integration: while one integrator is
being digitized by the onboard A/D converter, the other is
integrating the input current. Adjustable full-scale ranges
from 12pC to 350pC and adjustable integration times from
50µs to 1s allow currents from fAs to µAs to be measured
with outstanding precision. Low-level linearity is ±0.5ppm
of the full-scale range and noise is 5.2ppm of the full-scale
range.
Two modes of operation are provided. In Low-Power
mode, total power dissipation is only 13.5mW per channel
with a maximum data rate of 2.5kSPS. High-Speed mode
supports data rates up to 3.125kSPS with a corresponding
dissipation of 18mW per channel.
The DDC114 has a serial interface designed for
daisy-chaining in multi-device systems. Simply connect
the output of one device to the input of the next to create
the chain. Common clocking feeds all the devices in the
chain so that the digital overhead in a multi-DDC114
system is minimal.
The DDC114 is a single-supply device using a +5V analog
supply and supporting a +2.7V to +5.25V digital supply.
Operating over the industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +85°C, the DDC114 is offered in a QFN-48 package.
