TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
12-Bit, 3µs, 250kHz
Sampling A/D Converter
The LTC1272 is a 3µs, 12-bit, successive approximation
sampling A/D converter. It has the same pinout as the
industry standard AD7572 and offers faster conversion
time, on-chip sample-and-hold, and single supply opera-
tion. It uses LTBiCMOS™ switched-capacitor technology
to combine a high speed 12-bit ADC with a fast, accurate
sample-and-hold and a precision reference.
The LTC1272 operates with a single 5V supply but can
also accept the 5V/–15V supplies required by the AD7572
(Pin23, the negative supply pin of the AD7572, is not con-
nected on the LTC1272). The LTC1272 has the same 0V to
5V input range as the AD7572 but, to achieve single supply
operation, it provides a 2.42V reference output instead of
the –5.25V of the AD7572. It plugs in for the AD7572 if the
reference capacitor polarity is reversed and a 1µs sample-
and-hold acquisition time is allowed between conversions.
The output data can be read as a 12-bit word or as two
8-bit bytes. This allows easy interface to both 8-bit and
higher processors. The LTC1272 can be used with a crystal
or an external clock and comes in speed grades of 3ms
and 8ms.
