The ADC912A is a monolithic 12-bit accurate CMOS A/D
converter. It contains a complete successive-approximation A/D
converter built with a high-accuracy D/A converter, a precision
bipolar transistor high-speed comparator, and successive-
approximation logic including three-state bus interface for logic
compatibility. The accuracy of the ADC912A results from the
addition of precision bipolar transistors to Analog Devices’
advanced-oxide isolated silicon-gate CMOS process. Particular
attention was paid to the reduction of transition noise between
adjacent codes achieving a 1/6 LSB uncertainty. The low noise
design produces the same digital output for dc analog inputs
256
not located at a transition voltage, see Figures 1 and 2. NPN
digital output transistors provide excellent bus interface timing,
125 ns access and bus disconnect time which results in faster
data transfer without the need for wait states. An external
1.25 MHz clock provides a 10
µs
conversion time.
In stand-alone applications an internal clock can be used with
external crystal.
An external negative five-volt reference sets the 0 V to 10 V
input range. Plus 5 V and minus 12 V power supplies result in
95 mW of total power consumption.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADC912A features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
