GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The low-cost ADS-931 is a 16-bit, 1MHz sampling A/D
converter. This device accurately samples full-scale input
signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no missing codes. The
dynamic performance of the ADS-931 has been optimized to
achieve a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 87dB and a total
harmonic distortion (THD) of –89dB.
Packaged in a 40-pin TDIP, the functionally complete ADS-931
contains a fast-settling sample-hold amplifier, a subranging (two-
pass) A/D converter, an internal reference, timing/control logic,
and error-correction circuitry. Digital input and output levels are
TTL. The ADS-931 only requires the rising edge of the start
convert pulse to operate.
Requiring only ±5V supplies, the ADS-931 dissipates 1.85
Watts. The device is offered with a bipolar (±2.75V) analog
input range or a unipolar (0 to –5.5V) input range. Models are
available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or military
(–55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges. A proprietary,
auto-calibrating, error-correcting circuit enables the device to
achieve specified performance over the full military
temperature range. Typical applications include medical
imaging, radar, sonar, communications and instrumentation.
