FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADC1255X is a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter including successive approximation register, and
parallel output port. The ADC1255X employs a successive approximation technique to determine the value
of the analog input voltage. An array of binary-weighted capacitors subdivides the input value to perform
the analog to digital conversion.
The conversion of the ADC1255X is controlled by two signals, CONV and CLK. When CONV is taken
"HIGH" on the rising edge of CLK, the ADC1255X is internally reset after next two clock cycles, the
BUSY pin is driven "HIGH". The CONV pin should be held "HIGH" for at least one CLK cycle. The
number of conversion cycles to generate an output data is 14 except the first conversion after the CONV
pin is asserted.
DO[11:2] are actual 10-bit output data with 1.8V power supply. There are extra least significant bits,
DO[1:0] for 12-bit resolution when the part is operating with 2.5V power supply.

NOTES
1. ESD (Electro Static Discharge) sensitive device. Although the digital control inputs are diode protected,
permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high electrostatic discharges. It is recommended that
unused devices be stored in conductive foam or shunts to avoid performance degradation or loss of
functionality. The protective foam should be discharged to the destination socket before devices are inserted.
2. NC denotes "No Connection".

USER GUIDE
1. Power Saving Mode
When the overall system is in sleep, as SLEEP pin goes "HIGH", power consumption of the ADC1255X
can be reduced a lot.
2. Power Consumption Optimization
Yon can optimize power consumption, as the ITEST voltage level is controlled precisely.
3. Analog Input Range
The analog input range is concerned with the difference voltage, REFT - REFB. In case that the INN pin
is connected with VCOM pin, the analog input range of INP pin is equal to 2*(REFT - REFB).
4. Conversion Control
To operate the ADC1255X in conversion mode, the CONV pin should be set to "HIGH" for more than
one clock cycle.
5. Digital Output Data
DO[11:2] are actual 10-bit output data with 1.8V power supply.

frequency of the analog input signal ? It may be necessary to add a external sample & hold amplifier
in any case.
AIN
