GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADS-953 is an 18-bit, 1MHz sampling A/D converter. This
device accurately samples full-scale input signals up to Nyquist
frequencies with no missing codes. This feature, combined with
excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and –95dB peak harmonic
distortion (THD), makes the ADS-953 the ideal choice for both
time-domain (medical imaging, scanners, process control) and
frequency-domain (radar, telecommunications, spectrum analy-
sis) applications.
Packaged in a 32-pin, side-brazed, metal-sealed, ceramic TDIP,
the functionally complete ADS-953 contains a fast-settling sam-
ple-hold amplifier, a subranging (two-pass) A/D converter, an
internal reference, timing/control logic, and error-correction cir-
cuitry. Digital input and output levels are TTL, and the ADS-953
only requires the rising edge of the start convert pulse to
operate.
Requiring ±15V and ±5V supplies, the ADS-953 typically dis-
sipates 1.45 Watts. The device is offered with a bipolar (±5V)
analog input range. Models are available for use in either
commercial (0 to +70°C) or extended (–40 to +110°C) operat-
ing temperature ranges. A proprietary, auto-calibrating, error-
correcting circuit enables the device to achieve specified per-
formance over the full military temperature range.

Footnotes:
➀
All power supplies must 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 +

Actual Input Amplitude
➄
This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid once the analog input
is back within the specified range.
TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-953
requires careful attention to pc-card layout and power
supply decoupling. The device's analog and digital ground
systems are not connected to each other internally. For
optimal performance, tie all ground pins (3, 12 and 13)
directly to a large
analog
ground plane beneath the pack-
age.
Bypass all power supplies and the +5V REFERENCE
OUTPUT (pin 5) to ground with 10µF tantalum capacitors in
parallel with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Locate the bypass
capacitors as close to the unit as possible. Tie a 47µF
capacitor between COMPENSATION (pin 7) and ground.
2. The ADS-953 achieves its specified accuracies without the
need for external 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. Float pin 6 if not using gain adjust
circuits.
3. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in prog-
ress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and probably
inaccurate conversion cycle. Data for the interrupted and
subsequent conversions will be invalid.

ADS-953
THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and
specified over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to
+70°C and –40 to +110°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 under-
neath 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.
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input
(pin 16) so that the converter is continuously converting.
2. For bipolar zero/offset adjust, apply –19µV to the ANALOG
INPUT (pin 4).
3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output code flickers
equally between 01 1111 1111 1111 1111 and 10 0000
0000 0000 0000.
Gain Adjust Procedure
1. Apply –4.999943V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 4).
2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until all output bits are 1's
and the LSB flickers 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.
Table 1. Input Connections
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Connect the converter per Table 1 for the appropriate input volt-
age range. 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-953'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-953, 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).
