GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DATEL's ADS-942A is a functionally complete, 14-bit, 2MHz,
sampling A/D converter. Packaged in a 32-pin TDIP, the unit
contains a fast-settling sample/hold amplifier, a 14-bit
subranging (two-pass) A/D converter, a precision reference,
three-state output register, and all the timing/control logic
necessary to operate from a single start convert pulse.
The ADS-942A is optimized for wideband frequency-domain
applications and is fully FFT tested. The ADS-942A requires
±15V and ±5V supplies and typically consumes 2.2 Watts

TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Rated performance requires using good high-frequency
circuit board layout techniques. Connect the digital and
analog grounds to one point, the analog ground plane
beneath the converter. Due to the inductance and resis-
tance of the power supply return paths, return the analog
and digital ground separately to the power supplies.
SIGNAL GROUND (pin 4) is not internally connected to
ANALOG GROUND (pins 6, 15).
2. Bypass the analog and digital supplies and the +10V REF.
OUT (pin 1) to ground with a 4.7µF, 25V tantalum electro-
lytic capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
3. CODING SELECT(pin 8) is compatible with CMOS/TTL
logic levels for those users desiring logic control of this
function. There is an internal pull-up resistor on this pin;
connect to +5V or leave open for logic 1. See the Calibra-
tion Procedure for selecting an output coding.
4. To enable the three-state outputs, connect ENABLE (pin 9)
to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin 9 to a logic "1"
(high).
5. OVERFLOW (pin 7) changes from low (logic "0") to high
(logic "1") when the input voltage exceeds the input voltage
range limits by 1LSB (610µV).
For bipolar operation, adjust the trimpot until the code
flickers equally between 10 0000 0000 0000 and 10 0000
0000 0001 with pin 8 tied low (offset binary) or between 01
1111 1111 1111 and 01 1111 1111 1110 with pin 8 tied high
(complementary offset binary).
Two's complement coding requires using pin 31 (MSB).
With pin 8 tied low, adjust the trimpot until the code flickers
between 00 0000 0000 0000 and 00 0000 0000 0001.
3.
Full-Scale (Gain) Adjustment
Set the output of the voltage reference used in step 2 to the
value shown in Table 2.
Adjust the gain trimpot until the output code flickers equally
between 11 1111 1111 1110 and 11 1111 1111 1111 with pin 8
tied low (straight binary/offset binary) or between 00 0000
0000 0000 and 00 0000 0000 0001 with pin 8 tied high
(complementary binary/complementary offset binary).
Two's complement coding requires using pin 31 (MSB).
With pin 8 tied low, adjust the gain trimpot until the output
code flickers equally between 01 1111 1111 1110 and 01
1111 1111 1111.
4. To confirm proper operation of the device, vary the precision
reference voltage source to obtain the output coding listed
in Table 3.
Table 1. Input Connections
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect the converter per Figure 3 and Table 1 for the
appropriate input voltage range. Apply a pulse of 35
nanoseconds minimum to START CONVERT (pin 32) at a
rate of 200kHz. This rate is chosen to reduce flicker if
LED's are used on the outputs for calibration purposes.
2.
Zero Adjustments
Apply a precision voltage reference source between
ANALOG INPUT (pin 3) and SIGNAL GROUND (pin 4),
then adjust the reference source output per Table 2.
For unipolar, adjust the zero trimpot so that the output code
flickers equally between 00 0000 0000 0000 and 00 0000
0000 0001 with CODING SELECT (pin 8) tied low (straight
binary) or between 11 1111 1111 1111 and 11 1111 1111 1110
with pin 8 tied high (complementary binary).

Use external trimpots to remove system errors or to reduce
small initial errors to zero. Use a 100Ω trimpot in series
with the analog input for gain adjustment; use a fixed 50Ω
resistor in its place for operation without adjustment.
Use a 20kΩ trimpot with the wiper tied to OFFSET ADJUST
(pin 5) for zero/offset adjustment. Connect pin 5 to ANA-
LOG GROUND (pin 6) for operation without zero/offset
adjustment.

THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and
specified over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to
+70°C and -55 to +125°C. All room-temperature (T
A
= +25°C)
production testing is performed without the use of heat sinks or
forced-air cooling. Thermal impedance figures for each device
are listed in their respective specification tables.
These devices do not normally require heat sinks, however,
standard precautionary design and layout procedures should
be used to ensure devices do not overheat. The ground and
power planes beneath the package, as well as all pcb signal
runs to and from the device, should be as heavy as possible to
help conduct heat away from the package.
Electrically-insulating, thermally-conductive "pads" may be
installed underneath the package. Devices should be soldered
to boards rather than "socketed", and of course, minimal air
flow over the surface can greatly help reduce the package
temperature.
In more severe ambient conditions, the package/junction
temperature of a given device can be reduced dramatically
(typically 35%) by using one of DATEL's HS Series heat sinks.
See Ordering Information for the assigned part number. See
page 1-183 of the DATEL Data Acquisition Components
Catalog for more information on the HS Series. Request
DATEL Application Note AN-8, "Heat Sinks for DIP Data
Converters", or contact DATEL directly, for additional
information.
