Self-Calibrating 12-Bit Plus Sign Serial I/O
A/D Converters with MUX and Sample/Hold
General Description
The ADC12030, and ADC12H030 families are 12-bit plus
sign successive approximation A/D converters with serial
I/O and configurable input multiplexers. The ADC12032/
ADC12H032, ADC12034/ADC12H034 and ADC12038/
ADC12H038 have 2, 4 and 8 channel multiplexers, respec-
tively. The differential multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs
are available on the MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1 and
A/DIN2 pins. The ADC12030/ADC12H030 has a two chan-
nel multiplexer with the multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs
internally connected. The ADC12030 family is tested with a
5 MHz clock, while the ADC12H030 family is tested with an
8 MHz clock. On request, these A/Ds go through a self
calibration process that adjusts linearity, zero and full-scale
errors to less than
g
1 LSB each.
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combinations of single-ended, differential, or pseudo-differ-
ential modes. A fully differential unipolar analog input range
(0V to
a
5V) can be accommodated with a single
a
5V sup-
ply. In the differential modes, valid outputs are obtained
even when the negative inputs are greater than the positive
because of the 12-bit plus sign output data format.
The serial I/O is configured to comply with the NSC
MICROWIRE
TM
. For complementary voltage references see
the LM4040, LM4041 or LM9140.
