The LTC
®
1420 is a 10Msps, 12-bit sampling A/D converter
that draws only 250mW from either single 5V or dual
±5V
supplies. This easy-to-use device includes a high dynamic
range sample-and-hold, a precision reference and a PGA
input circuit.
The LTC1420 has a flexible input circuit that allows full-
scale input ranges of
±2.048V ±1.024V
and
±0.512V.
The
input common mode voltage is arbitrary, though a 2.5V
reference is provided for single supply applications. The
input PGA has a digitally selectable 1x or 2x gain.
Maximum DC specs include
±1LSB
INL and
±1LSB
DNL
over temperature. Outstanding AC performance includes
71dB S/(N + D) and 83dB SFDR at the Nyquist input
frequency of 5MHz.
The unique differential input sample-and-hold can acquire
single-ended or differential input signals up to its 100MHz
bandwidth. The 75dB common mode rejection allows
users to eliminate ground loops and common mode noise
by measuring signals differentially from the source. A
separate output logic supply allows direct connection to
3V components.

dynamic specifications, refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics.
Note 7:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 8:
Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and
1111 1111 1111.
