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.
