PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD9243 is a 3 MSPS, single supply, 14-bit analog-to-
digital converter (ADC). It combines a low cost, high speed
CMOS process and a novel architecture to achieve the resolution
and speed of existing hybrid implementations at a fraction of the
power consumption and cost. It is a complete, monolithic ADC
with an on-chip, high performance, low noise sample-and-hold
amplifier and programmable voltage reference. An external refer-
ence can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy and temperature
drift requirements of the application. The device uses a multistage
differential pipelined architecture with digital output error correc-
tion logic to guarantee no missing codes over the full operating
temperature range.
The input of the AD9243 is highly flexible, allowing for easy
interfacing to imaging, communications, medical, and data-
acquisition systems. A truly differential input structure allows
for both single-ended and differential input interfaces of varying
input spans. The sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is equally
suited for both multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage
levels in successive channels as well as sampling single-channel
inputs at frequencies up to and beyond the Nyquist rate. Also,
the AD9243 performs well in communication systems employ-
ing Direct-IF Down Conversion since the SHA in the differen-
tial input mode can achieve excellent dynamic performance well
beyond its specified Nyquist frequency of 1.5 MHz.
A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion
cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary
output format. An out-of-range (OTR) signal indicates an
overflow condition which can be used with the most significant
bit to determine low or high overflow.
*Patents pending.
