ESCRIPTION
:
Maxwell Technologies’ 7872 high-speed 14-bit ADC microcir-
cuit features a greater than 100 krad (Si) total dose tolerance;
depending upon orbit. The 7872 consists of a track/hold ampli-
fier, successive-approximation ADC, 3V buried Zener refer-
ence and versatile interface logic. It features a self-contained,
laser- trimmed internal clock, so no external clock timing com-
ponents are required. For minimum noise possible, the on-
chip clock may be overridden to synchronize the device oper-
ation to the digital system. The 7872 is a serial output device.
It is capable of interfacing to all modern microprocessors and
digital signal processors. The 7872 operates from ±5V power
supplies, accepts bipolar input signals of ±3V and is able to
convert full power signals up to 41.5 kHz. It is also fully speci-
fied for dynamic performance parameters including distortion
and signal-to-noise ratio.
Maxwell Technologies' patented R
AD
-P
AK
® packaging technol-
ogy incorporates radiation shielding in the microcircuit pack-
age. It eliminates the need for box shielding while providing
the required radiation shielding for a lifetime in orbit or space
mission. In a GEO orbit, R
AD
-P
AK
provides greater than 100
krad (Si) radiation dose tolerance. This product is available
with screening up to Class S.

1. All input signals are specified with tr = tr = 5 ns (10% to 90% of 5 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
2. Serial timing is measured with a 4.7 k
Ω
pull-up resistor on SDATA and SSTRB and a 2 k
Ω
pull-up resistor on SCLK. The
capacitance on all three outputs is 35 pF.
3. SCLK mark/space ration (measured from a voltage level of 1.6 V) is 40/60 to 60/40.
4. SDATA will drive higher capacitive loads, but this will add to t
12
since it increases the external RC time constant (4.7k
Ω
/C
L
) and
hence, the time to reach 2.4 V.
