and 2-Channel Single-Ended ADCs
1 General Description
The AS1524/AS1525 are low-power, 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) designed to operate with a sin-
gle +2.7V to +5.25V supply. Excellent dynamic perfor-
mance, low power consumption, and simplicity make
these devices perfect for portable battery-powered data-
acquisition applications.
The devices are available as the standard products
listed in
Table 1.

The devices feature a successive-approximation regis-
ter (SAR), automatic shutdown, fast wakeup (1.4µs),
and low-power consumption at the maximum sampling
rate of 150ksps.
Automatic shutdown (0.2µA) between conversions
results in reduced power consumption (at slower
throughput rates).
Data access are made via an external clock through the
SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire high-speed
serial interface.
The AS1525/AS1524 are available in a 8-pin TDFN
(3x3mm) package.

3 Applications
The devices are ideal for remote sensors, data-acquisi-
tion, data logging devices, lab instruments, or for any
other space-limited A/D devices with low power con-
sumption and single-supply requirements.

Description
Positive Supply Voltage.
+2.7V to +5.25V.
Note:
Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
Analog Input Channel 1 (AS1525) or Positive Analog Input (AS1524)
Analog Input Channel 2 (AS1525) or Negative Analog Input (AS1524)
Ground
External Reference Voltage Input.
Sets the analog voltage range.
Note:
Bypass with a 4.7µF capacitor to GND.
Conversion Start.
A rising edge powers up the device and puts the track/
hold circuitry in track mode. At the falling edge of this pin, the device enters
hold mode and begins a conversion.
Note:
This pin also selects the input channel (AS1525) or input polarity
(AS1524).
Serial Data Output.
This pin transitions the falling edge of SCLK and goes
low at the start of a conversion and delivers the MSB at the completion of a
conversion.
Note:
This pin goes high impedance once data has been fully clocked out.
Serial Clock Input.
Clocks out data at DOUT with the MSB first.

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 3
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only,
and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
Electrical Character-
istics on page 5
is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
