DESCRIPTION

The ADS8508 is a complete 12-bit sampling

analog-to-digital (A/D) converter using state-of-the-art CMOS structures. It contains a complete 12-bit,

capacitor-based, successive approximation register

(SAR) A/D converter with sample-and-hold, referDaisy-

ence, clock, and a serial data interface. Data can be

output using the internal clock or can be

synchronized to an external data clock. The ADS8508

also provides an output synchronization pulse for

ease of use with standard DSP processors.

The ADS8508 is specified at a 250-kHz sampling rate

over the full temperature range. Precision resistors

provide various input ranges including ±10 V and 0 V

to 5 V, while the innovative design allows operation

from a single +5-V supply with power dissipation

under 100 mW.

The ADS8508 is available in a 20-pin SO package,

fully specified for operation over the industrial -40°C

to 85°C temperature range.
