Datel’s ADC-304 is an 8-bit, 20MHz analog-to-digital flash
converter. The ADC-304 offers many performance features not
obtainable from other flash A/D’s.
Key reatures include a low power dissipation of 375mW and
TTL-compatible outputs. A wide analog input bandwidth of
8MHz (–3dB) allows operation without the need of a sample-
hold. Also, single +5V supply operation is obtainable with an
input range of +3 to +5V, eliminating the need for an additional
power supply. A 0 to –2V input range is available with ±5V
supply operation.
Another novel feature of the ADC-304 is its user-selectable
output coding. The MINV and LINV pins allow selection of
binary, complementary binary, and if external offset circuitry is
used for bipolar inputs, offset binary, two’s complement and
complementary two’s complement coding.
The ADC-304 is supplied in a 28-pin plastic DIP or a 28-pin
plastic SOP package. Operating temperature range is –20 to
+75°C. Storage temperature range is –55 to +150°C.

TECHNICAL NOTES
1. The two DIGITAL GND pins (pins 5 and 11 on the DIP, pins
12 and 18 on the SOP) are not connected to each other
internally and neither are the two +5V POWER pins (6 and
10 on the DIP, 13 and 17 on the SOP). All four pins must be
externally connected to the appropriate pcb patterns. Also,
the DIGITAL GND and ANALOG GND pins are not
connected to each other internally.
2. Layout of the analog and digital sections should be
separated to reduce interference from noise. To further
guard against unwanted noise, it is recommended to
bypass, as close as possible, the voltage supply pins to
their respective ground pins with 1µF tantalum and 0.01µF
ceramic disk capacitors in parallel.
3. The input capacitance of the analog input is much smaller
than that of a typical flash A/D converter. It is necessary to
use an amplifier with sufficient bandwidth and driving power.
The analog input pins are separated internally, so they
should be connected together externally. If the ADC-304 is
driven with a low output impedance amplifier, parasitic
oscillations may occur.
These parasitic oscillations can be prevented by introducing
a small resistance of 2 to 10Ω between the amplifier output
and the ADC-304’s A/D input. This resistance must have a
very low value of series inductance at high frequencies.
Note that each of the analog input pins is divided in this
manner with these resistances. Connect the driving amplifier
as close as possible to the A/D input of the ADC-304.

4. The voltage between V
T
and V
B
is equivalent to the dynamic
range of the analog input. Bypass V
B
to ANALOG GND
USING a 1µF and a 0.01µF capacitor in parallel. To balance
the characteristics of the ADC-304 at high frequencies,
bypass V
M
with a 0.01µF capacitor to ANALOG GND.
Also, V
M
can be used as a trimming pin for more precise
linearity compensation. A stable voltage source with a
potential equal to V
B
and a 1kΩ potentiometer can be
connected to V
M
as shown in Figure 2 for this purpose.
5. Separate the clock input, CLOCK, from other leads as much
as possible, observing proper EMI and RFI wiring
techniques. This reduces the inductive pick-up of this lead
from interfering with the “clean” operation of the ADC-304.
6. The analog input signal is sampled on the positive-going
edge of CLOCK. Corresponding digital data appears at the
output on the negative-going edge of the CLOCK pulse after
a brief delay of 31ns maximum (TDLH, TDHL). Refer to the
Timing Diagram (Figure 3) for more information.
7. Connect all free pins to ANALOG GND to reduce unwanted
noise.
The analog input range is equal to a 2V spread. The
voltage on V
T
-V
B
will equal 2V. The connection of V
T
and
ANALOG GND is 2V higher than V
B
. Whether using a
single or dual power supply, the analog input will range from
the value of V
T
to V
B
. If V
T
equals +5V, then V
B
will equal
+3V and the analog input range will be from +3 to +5V.
