ADC12130/ADC12132/ADC12138 Self-Calibrating 12-Bit
Plus Sign Serial I/O A/D Converters with MUX and
Sample/Hold
General Description
The ADC12130, ADC12132 and ADC12138 are 12-bit plus
sign successive approximation A/D converters with serial
I/O and configurable input multiplexer. The ADC12132 and
ADC12138 have a 2 and an 8 channel multiplexer, respec-
tively. The differential multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs
are available on the MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1 and
A/DIN2 pins. The ADC12130 has a two channel multiplexer
with the multiplexer outputs and A/D inputs internally con-
nected. The ADC12130 family is tested with a 5 MHz clock.
On request, these A/Ds go through a self calibration pro-
cess that adjusts linearity, zero and full-scale errors to typi-
cally 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.
