DESCRIPTION
The ADC124S051 is a low-power, four-channel
CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with a high-
speed serial interface. Unlike the conventional
practice of specifying performance at a single sample
rate only, the ADC124S051 is fully specified over a
sample rate range of 200 ksps to 500 ksps. The
converter is based on a successive-approximation
register architecture with an internal track-and-hold
circuit. It can be configured to accept up to four input
signals at inputs IN1 through IN4.
The output serial data is straight binary, and is
compatible with several standards, such as SPI™,
QSPI™, MICROWIRE and many common DSP serial interfaces.
The ADC124S051 operates with a single supply that
can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption using a +3V or +5V supply is 3.0 mW
and 10.0 mW, respectively. The power-down feature
reduces the power consumption to just 0.14 μW using
a +3V supply, or 0.32 μW using a +5V supply.
The ADC124S051 is packaged in a 10-lead VSSOP
package. Operation over the industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C is ensured.
