GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The low-cost ADS-946 is a 14-bit, 8MHz sampling A/D
converter. This device accurately samples full-scale input
signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no missing codes.
Excellent differential nonlinearity error (DNL), signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR), and total harmonic distortion (THD) make the
ADS-946 the ideal choice for both time-domain (CCD/FPA
imaging, scanners, process control) and frequency-domain
(radar, telecommunications, spectrum analysis) applications.
The functionally complete ADS-946 contains a fast-settling
sample-hold amplifier, a subranging (two-pass) A/D converter,
an internal reference, timing/control logic, and error-correction
circuitry. Digital input and output levels are TTL. The
ADS-946 only requires the rising edge of a start convert
pulse to operate.
Requiring only ±5V supplies, the ADS-946 typically dissipates
just 2 Watts. The device is offered with a bipolar input range
of ±2V. Models are available for use in either commercial
(0 to +70°C) or military (–55 to +125°C) operating
