ADS-951
18-Bit, 1MHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ADS-951 is an 18-bit, 1MHz sampling A/D
converter. This device accurately samples full-scale
input signals up to 100 kHz with no missing codes.
This feature, combined with excellent signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) and total harmonic distortion (THD),
makes the ADS-951 the ideal choice for both time-
domain (medical imaging, scanners, process control)
and frequency-domain (radar, telecommunications,
spectrum analysis) applications.
Packaged in a 32-pin, side-brazed, metal-sealed,
ceramic TDIP, the functionally complete ADS-951
contains a fast-settling sample-hold amplifier, an
A/D converter, an internal reference, and timing/
control logic. Digital input and output levels are TTL,
and the ADS-951 only requires the rising edge of the
start convert pulse to operate.
The ADS-951 typically dissipates 400mW. The
device is offered with a bipolar (±5V) analog input
range. Models are available for use in commercial
(0 to +70°C), extended (–40 to +110°C), or HI-REL
(–55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges.
Contact DATEL for converters with input ranges of
±10V (ADS-951-1) or 0 to +10V (ADS-951-2).

Footnotes:
➀
All power supplies should be on before applying a start convert pulse. All supplies
and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warmup periods. The
device must be continuously converting during this time.
➁
Contact DATEL for other input voltage ranges.
➂
A 1MHz clock with a 500nsec positive pulse width (50% duty cycle) is used for
all production testing. Any duty cycle may be used as long as a minimum positive
pulse width of 20nsec is maintained. For applications requiring lower sampling
rates, clock frequencies lower than 1MHz may be used.
➃
Effective bits is equal to:
(SNR + Distortion) – 1.76 +
20 log
6.02
➄
This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid once the analog input
is back within the specified range.

ADS-951
18-Bit, 1MHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters
THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and specified
over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to +70°C, –40 to +110°C,
and –55 to +125°C. All room-temperature (TA = +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 specifica-
tion tables.
These devices do not normally require heat sinks, however, standard pre-
cautionary 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.
TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-951 requires careful
attention to pc-card layout and power supply decoupling. The device's ana-
log and digital ground systems are not connected to each other internally.
For optimal performance, tie all ground pins (2, 4, 7, 28, and 31) directly to
a large
analog
ground plane beneath the package.
Bypass all power supplies to ground with 10μF tantalum capacitors in
parallel with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors. Locate the bypass capacitors as
close to the unit as possible. The +4.096V REFERENCE OUTPUT (pin 1)
should not
be bypassed externally. If needed to drive external circuitry, pin
1 should be buffered close to the unit.
2. The ADS-951 achieves its specified accuracies without the need for exter-
nal calibration. If required, the device's small initial errors can be reduced
to zero using the adjustment circuitry shown in Figure 2. When using this
circuitry, or any similar offset and gain calibration hardware, make adjust-
ments following warmup. To avoid interaction, always adjust offset before
gain. Connect pins 5 and 6 to ground if not using offset and gain adjust
circuits.
3. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in progress (EOC =
logic "1") will initiate a new and probably inaccurate conversion cycle. Data
for the interrupted and subsequent conversions will be invalid.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Any offset/gain calibration procedures should not be implemented until the
device is fully warmed up. To avoid interaction, adjust offset before gain.
The ranges of adjustment for the circuits in Figure 2 are guaranteed to
compensate for the ADS-951's initial accuracy errors and may not be able
to compensate for additional system errors.
A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital outputs exactly
on the transition point between two adjacent digital output codes. This is
accomplished by connecting LED's to the digital outputs and performing
adjustments until certain LED's "flicker" equally between on and off. Other
approaches employ digital comparators or microcontrollers to detect when
the outputs change from one code to the next.
For the ADS-951, offset adjusting is normally accomplished when the
analog input is 0 minus ½LSB (–19μV). See Table 2 for the proper bipolar
output coding.
Gain adjusting is accomplished when the analog input is at nominal full
scale minus 1½LSB's (–4.999943V).
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input (pin 27) so that the
converter is continuously converting.
2. For bipolar zero/offset adjust, apply –19μV to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 3).
3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output code flickers equally be-
tween 01 1111 1111 1111 1111 and 10 0000 0000 0000 0000.
Gain Adjust Procedure
1. Apply –4.999943V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 3).
2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until all output bits are 1's and the LSB flick-
ers between 1 and 0.
3. To confirm proper operation of the device, vary the applied input voltage to
obtain the output coding listed in Table 2.
