Richardson RFPD Converter - ADC AD9240ASZRL

The AD9240 is a 10 MSPS, single supply, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It combines a low cost, high speed CMOS process and a novel architecture to achieve the resolution and speed of existing hybrid implementations at a fraction of the power consumption and cost. It is a complete, monolithic ADCwith an on-chip, high performance, low noise sample-and-hold amplifier and programmable voltage reference. An external reference can also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy and temperature drift requirements of the application. The device uses a multistage differential pipelined architecture with digital output error correction logic to guarantee no missing codes over the full operating temperature range. The input of the AD9240 is highly flexible, allowing for easy interfacing to imaging, communications, medical and data-acquisition systems. A truly differential input structure allowsfor both single-ended and differential input interfaces of varyinginput spans. The sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is equally suited for multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in successive channels as well as sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to and beyond the Nyquist rate. The AD9240 also performs well in communication systems employing Direct-IF Down Conversion, since the SHA in the differential input mode can achieve excellent dynamic performance well beyond its specified Nyquist frequency of 5 MHz. A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary output format. An out-of-range (OTR) signal indicates an overflow condition which can be used with the most significant bit to determine low or high overflow.
