DESCRIPTION

The ADC124S051 is a low-power, four-channel

CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with a high-

speed serial interface. Unlike the conventional

practice of specifying performance at a single sample

rate only, the ADC124S051 is fully specified over a

sample rate range of 200 ksps to 500 ksps. The

converter is based on a successive-approximation

register architecture with an internal track-and-hold

circuit. It can be configured to accept up to four input

signals at inputs IN1 through IN4.

The output serial data is straight binary, and is

compatible with several standards, such as SPI™,

QSPI™, MICROWIRE and many common DSP serial interfaces.

The ADC124S051 operates with a single supply that

can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption using a +3V or +5V supply is 3.0 mW

and 10.0 mW, respectively. The power-down feature

reduces the power consumption to just 0.14 μW using

a +3V supply, or 0.32 μW using a +5V supply.

The ADC124S051 is packaged in a 10-lead VSSOP

package. Operation over the industrial temperature

range of −40°C to +85°C is ensured.
