GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT7851 10-bit, 20 MSPS analog-to-digital converter
has a pipelined converter architecture built in a CMOS pro-
cess. It delivers high performance with a typical power dissi-
pation of only 79 mW. With low distortion and high dynamic
range, this device offers the performance needed for imag-
ing, multimedia, telecommunications and instrumentation
applications.
The SPT7851 is available in a 44-lead Thin Quad Flat Pack
(TQFP) package in the industrial temperature range (–40
°C
to +85
°C).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT7851 is an ultra-low power, 10-bit, 20 MSPS ADC.
It has a pipelined architecture and incorporates digital error
correction of all 10 bits. This error correction ensures good
linearity performance for input frequencies up to Nyquist.
The inputs are fully differential, making the device insensi-
tive to system-level noise. This device can also be used in a
single-ended mode. (See analog input section.) With the
power dissipation roughly proportional to the sampling rate,
this device is ideal for very low power applications in the
range of 1 to 20 MSPS.
Figure 2 – Typical Interface Circuit
TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT
The SPT7851 requires few external components to achieve
the stated operation and performance. Figure 2 shows the
typical interface requirements when using the SPT7851 in
normal circuit operation. The following sections provide a
description of the functions and outline critical performance
criteria to consider for achieving the optimal device perfor-
mance.
