The LTC
®
1278 is a 1.6µs, 500ksps, sampling 12-bit A/D
converter that draws only 75mW from a single 5V or ±5V
supplies. This easy-to-use device comes complete with
a 200ns sample-and-hold, a precision reference and an
internally trimmed clock. Unipolar and bipolar conver-
sion modes add to the flexibility of the ADC. The low
power dissipation is made even more attractive by a
8.5mW power-down feature. Instant wake-up from shut-
down allows the converter to be powered down even
during brief inactive periods.
The LTC1278 converts 0V to 5V unipolar inputs from a
single 5V supply and ±2.5V bipolar inputs from ±5V
supplies. Maximum DC specs include ±1LSB INL and
±1LSB DNL. Outstanding guaranteed AC performance
includes 70dB S/(N + D) and 78dB THD at the input
frequency of 100kHz over temperature.
The internal clock is trimmed for 1.6µs conversion time.
The clock automatically synchronizes to each sample
command, eliminating problems with asynchronous clock
noise found in competitive devices. A separate convert
start input and a data ready signal (BUSY) ease connec-
tions to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors.
