1 General Description
The AS1543/44 is a 12-bit high-speed, low-power, 8/4-
channel, successive-approximation ADC that operates
from a single 2.7 to 5.25V supply. The device features
high throughput rates (1Msps) and a low-noise, wide-
bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input
frequencies in excess of 1 MHz.
The AS1543 features 8 single-ended or 4 fully differen-
tial analog inputs while the AS1544 offers 4 single-
ended or 2 fully differential analog inputs. Both include a
channel sequencer to allow a programmed selection of
channels to be converted sequentially. The conversion
time is determined by the SCLK frequency (also used as
the master clock to control the conversion).
The conversion process and data acquisition are con-
trolled using a chip select pin and a serial clock signal,
allowing the device to easily interface with microproces-
sors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling
edge of CSN and conversion is also initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the
device.
The AS1543/44 uses advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput
rates. At maximum throughput rates, the AS1543/44
consumes just 2.8mA (@3.6V), and 3.5mA (@5.25V).
By using internal control register, single-ended or fully-
differential conversion mode with different input ranges
can be used with either straight binary or twos comple-
ment output coding.
The device is available in a TQFN(4x4)-20 pin package.
