3 Description

The ADS912x is a family of 16-bit, high-speed,

analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an integrated

driver for the ADC inputs. The integrated ADC

driver simplifies the signal chain, reduces power

consumption for precision applications, and supports

high-frequency signals beyond 1MHz. By not requiring

an external decoupling capacitor, the integrated ADC

reference buffer is optimized for wide bandwidth

applications.

The ADS912x uses a serial LVDS (SLVDS)

data interface that enables high-speed digital

communication while minimizing digital switching

noise. Read the ADC data using separate SLVDS

outputs per ADC channel or one SLVDS output for

both ADC channels.
