® ® ADS-950 18-Bit, 500kHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters PRELIMINARY PRODUCT DATA FEATURES · · · · · · · · · 18-bit resolution 500kHz minimum sampling rate No missing codes over full military temperature range Very low power, 1.45 Watts Small, 32-pin, side-brazed, ceramic TDIP Edge-triggered Excellent performance Ideal for both time and frequency-domain applications Low cost INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The low-cost ADS-950 is an 18-bit, 500kHz sampling A/D converter. This device accurately samples full-scale input signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no missing codes. This feature, combined with excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and total harmonic distortion (THD), makes the ADS-950 the ideal choice for both time-domain (medical imaging, scanners, process control) and frequency-domain (radar, telecommunications, spectrum analysis) applications. Packaged in a 32-pin, side-brazed, metal-sealed, ceramic TDIP, the functionally complete ADS-950 contains a fastsettling sample-hold amplifier, a subranging (two-pass) A/D converter, an internal reference, timing/control logic, and errorcorrection circuitry. Digital input and output levels are TTL, and the ADS-950 only requires the rising edge of the start convert pulse to operate. Requiring ±15V and ±5V supplies, the ADS-950 typically dissipates 1.45 Watts. The device is offered with a bipolar (±5V) analog input range. Models are available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or military (–55 to +125°C) PIN FUNCTION PIN FUNCTION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 BIT 2 BIT 1 (MSB) ANALOG GROUND ANALOG INPUT +5V REFERENCE OUT GAIN ADJUST COMPENSATION –15V SUPPLY +15V SUPPLY +5V ANALOG SUPPLY –5V ANALOG SUPPLY ANALOG GROUND DIGITAL GROUND +5V DIGITAL SUPPLY EOC START CONVERT 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 BIT 3 BIT 4 BIT 5 BIT 6 BIT 7 BIT 8 BIT 9 BIT 10 BIT 11 BIT 12 BIT 13 BIT 14 BIT 15 BIT 16 BIT 17 BIT 18 (LSB) operating temperature ranges.

All supplies and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warmup periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time. ➃ Effective bits is equal to: (SNR + Distortion) – 1.76 + ➁ Contact DATEL for other input voltage ranges. 20 log Full Scale Amplitude Actual Input Amplitude 6.02 ➄ This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid once the analog input is back within the specified range. ➂ A 500kHz clock with a 1µsec positive pulse width (50% duty cycle) is used for all production testing. Any duty cycle may be used as long as a minimum positive pulse width of 20nsec is maintained. For applications requiring lower sampling rates, clock frequencies lower than 1MHz may be used. TECHNICAL NOTES 1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-950 requires careful attention to pc-card layout and power supply decoupling. The device's analog and digital ground systems are not connected to each other internally. For optimal performance, tie all ground pins (3, 12 and 13) directly to a large analog ground plane beneath the package. 3. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in progress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and probably inaccurate conversion cycle. Data for the interrupted and subsequent conversions will be invalid. THERMAL REQUIREMENTS All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and specified over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to +70°C and –55 to +125°C. All room-temperature (TA = +25°C) production testing is performed without the use of heat sinks or forced-air cooling. Thermal impedance figures for each device are listed in their respective specification tables. Bypass all power supplies and the +5V REFERENCE OUTPUT (pin 5) to ground with 10µF tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Locate the bypass capacitors as close to the unit as possible. Tie a 47µF capacitor between COMPENSATION (pin 7) and ground. 2. The ADS-950 achieves its specified accuracies without the need for external calibration. If required, the device's small initial errors can be reduced to zero using the adjustment circuitry shown in Figure 2. When using this circuitry, or any similar offset and gain calibration hardware, make adjustments following warmup. To avoid interaction, always adjust offset before gain. Float pin 6 if not using gain adjust circuits. These devices do not normally require heat sinks, however, standard precautionary design and layout procedures should be used to ensure devices do not overheat. The ground and power planes beneath the package, as well as all pcb signal runs to and from the device, should be as heavy as possible to help conduct heat away from the package. Electrically-insulating, thermally-conductive "pads" may be installed underneath the package. Devices should be soldered to boards rather than "socketed", and of course, minimal air flow over the surface can greatly help reduce the package temperature. 3 ® ® ADS-950 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Connect the converter per Table 1 for the appropriate input voltage range. Any offset/gain calibration procedures should not be implemented until the device is fully warmed up. To avoid interaction, adjust offset before gain. The ranges of adjustment for the circuits in Figure 2 are guaranteed to compensate for the ADS-950's initial accuracy errors and may not be able to compensate for additional system errors. Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure 1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input (pin 16) so that the converter is continuously converting. 2. For bipolar zero/offset adjust, apply –19µV to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 4). 3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output code flickers equally between 01 1111 1111 1111 1111 and 10 0000 0000 0000 0000. A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital outputs exactly on the transition point between two adjacent digital output codes. This is accomplished by connecting LED's to the digital outputs and performing adjustments until certain LED's "flicker" equally between on and off. Other approaches employ digital comparators or microcontrollers to detect when the outputs change from one code to the next. Gain Adjust Procedure 1. Apply –4.999943V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 4). 2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until all output bits are 1's and the LSB flickers between 1 and 0. For the ADS-950, offset adjusting is normally accomplished when the analog input is 0 minus ½LSB (–19µV). See Table 2 for the proper bipolar output coding. 3. To confirm proper operation of the device, vary the applied input voltage to obtain the output coding listed in Table 2. Gain adjusting is accomplished when the analog input is at nominal full scale minus 1½LSB's (–4.999943V). Table 1.
