DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1412 is a 12-bit, 3Msps, sampling A/D con-
verter. This high performance device includes a high
dynamic range sample-and-hold and a precision refer-
ence. Operating from
±5V
supplies it draws only 150mW.
The
±2.5V
input range is optimized for low noise and low
distortion. Most high performance op amps also perform
best over this range, allowing direct coupling to the analog
inputs and eliminating the need for special translation
circuitry. Outstanding AC performance includes 72dB
S/(N + D) and 82dB SFDR at the Nyquist input frequency
of 1.5MHz.
The unique differential input sample-and-hold can acquire
single-ended or differential input signals up to its 40MHz
bandwidth. The 60dB common mode rejection allows
users to eliminate ground loops and common mode noise
by measuring signals differentially from the source.
The ADC has a high speed 12-bit parallel output port. There
is no pipeline delay in the conversion results. A separate
convert start input and converter status signal (BUSY)
ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors. A
digital output driver power supply pin allows direct con-
nection to 3V logic.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range; all other limits and typicals T
A
= 25°C.
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to ground with DGND and
AGND wired together (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3:
When these pin voltages are taken below V
SS
or above V
DD
, they
will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents
greater than 100mA below V
SS
or above V
DD
without latchup.
Note 4:
When these pin voltages are taken below V
SS
they will be clamped
by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents greater than
100mA below V
SS
without latchup. These pins are not clamped to V
DD

Note 6:
Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for a single-
ended A
IN
input with A
IN–
grounded.
Note 7:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 8:
Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and
1111 1111 1111.
Note 9:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
