(R) ADS-926 (R) 14-Bit, 500kHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters PRODUCT OVERVIEW The ADS-926 is a high-performance, 14-bit, 500kHz sampling A/D converter. This device accurately samples full-scale input signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no missing codes and exhibits outstanding dynamic performance that surpasses most 16-bit, 500kHz sampling A/D's. THD and SNR, for example, are typically -90dB and 80dB when converting fullscale input signals up to 100kHz. Housed in a small 24-pin DDIP or SMT (gullwing) package, the functionally complete ADS-926 contains a fast-settling sample-hold amplifier, a subranging (two-pass) A/D converter, a precise voltage reference, timing/control logic, and errorcorrection circuitry. Digital input and output levels are TTL. Requiring 15V (or 12V) and +5V supplies, the ADS-926 dissipates only 1.75W (1.6W for 12V), maximum. The unit is offered with a bipolar input (-5V to +5V). Models are available for use in either commercial (0 to +70C) or military (-55 to +125C) operating temperature ranges. Applications include radar, sonar, spectrum analysis, and graphic/medical imaging. Contact DATEL for information on devices screened to MIL-STD-883.

All supplies and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warmup periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time. See Ordering Information for 0 to +10V input range. Contact DATEL for availability of other input voltage ranges. A 500kHz clock with a 200ns wide start convert pulse is used for all production testing. For applications requiring less than a 500kHz sampling rate, wider start convert pulses can be used. See Timing Diagram for more details. TECHNICAL NOTES 1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-926 requires careful attention to pc-card layout and power supply decoupling. The device's analog and digital ground systems are connected to each other internally. For optimal performance, tie all ground pins (14, 19 and 23) directly to a large analog ground plane beneath the package. Bypass all power supplies and the REFERENCE OUTPUT (pin 21) to ground with 4.7F tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1F ceramic capacitors. Locate the bypass capacitors as close to the unit as possible. If the userinstalled offset and gain adjusting circuit shown in Figure 2 is used, also locate it as close to the ADS-926 as possible. 2. The ADS-926 achieves its specified accuracies without the need for external calibration. If required, the device's small initial offset and gain errors DATEL * (SNR + Distortion) - 1.76 + Full Scale Amplitude Actual Input Amplitude 20 log 6.02 This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid after the analog input is back within the specified range. can be reduced to zero using the input circuit of Figure 2. When using this circuit, or any similar offset and gain-calibration hardware, make adjustments following warmup. To avoid interaction, always adjust offset before gain. 3. When operating the ADS-926 from 12V supplies, do not drive external circuitry with the REFERENCE OUTPUT. The reference's accuracy and drift specifications may not be met, and loading the circuit may cause accuracy errors within the converter. 4. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in progress (EOC = logic "1") initiates a new and inaccurate conversion cycle. Data from the interrupted and subsequent conversions will be invalid. 11 Cabot Boulevard, Mansfield, MA 02048-1151 USA * Tel: (508) 339-3000 * www.datel.com 01 Apr 2011 * e-mail: help@datel.com MDA_ADS-926.B02 Page 3 of 8 (R) ADS-926 (R) 14-Bit, 500kHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters Gain adjusting is accomplished when all bits are 1's and the LSB just changes from a 1 to a 0. This transition ideally occurs when the analog input is at +full scale minus 11/2 LSB's (+4.999085V). CALIBRATION PROCEDURE (Refer to Figures 2 and 3) Any offset and/or gain calibration procedures should not be implemented until devices are fully warmed up. To avoid interaction, offset must be adjusted before gain. The ranges of adjustment for the circuit of Figure 2 are guaranteed to compensate for the ADS-926's initial accuracy errors and may not be able to compensate for additional system errors. All fixed resistors in Figure 2 should be metal-film types, and multiturn potentiometers should have TCR's of 100ppm/C or less to minimize drift with temperature. A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital outputs exactly on the transition point between two adjacent digital output codes. This can be accomplished by connecting LED's to the digital outputs and adjusting 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-926, offset adjusting is normally accomplished at the point where the MSB is a 1 and all other output bits are 0's and the LSB just changes from a 0 to a 1. This digital output transition ideally occurs when the applied analog input is +1/2 LSB (+305V). Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure 1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input (pin 16) so the converter is continuously converting. If using LED's on the outputs, a 200kHz conversion rate will reduce flicker. 2. Apply +305V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 20). 3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output bits are a 1 and all 0's and the LSB flickers between 0 and 1. Gain Adjust Procedure 1. 1. Apply +4.999085V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 20). 2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until the output bits are all 1's and the LSB flickers between 1 and 0. Table 1.

All room-temperature (TA = +25C) 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 underneath 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. N START CONVERT N+1 200ns 25ns 10ns typ.

Its internal operations are triggered by both the rising and falling edges of the start convert pulse. When sampling at 500kHz, the start pulse must be between 175 and 225nsec wide. For lower sampling rates, wider start pulses may be used, however, a 50nsec minimum pulse width low must be maintained. Figure 4.
