The low-cost ADS-930 is a high-performance, 16-bit, 500kHz
sampling A/D converter. This device accurately samples fullscale input signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no missing
codes. The dynamic performance of the ADS-930 is optimized
to achieve a THD of –89dB and an SNR of 83dB.
Packaged in a small, 40-pin, ceramic TDIP, the functionally
complete ADS-930 contains a fast-settling sample-hold
amplifier, a subranging (three-pass) A/D converter, an internal
reference, an on-board FIFO, timing and control logic, threestate outputs and error-correction circuitry. Digital inputs/
outputs are TTL.
Requiring ±15V and +5V supplies, the ADS-930 typically
dissipates 3.5 Watts. The unit is offered with a bipolar input
range of ±5V or a unipolar input range of 0 to –10V. Models
are available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or
military (–55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges.
Typical applications include radar, sonar, medical/graphic
imaging, and FFT spectrum analysis.

TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-930
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 (4, 11, 13,
18, 24 and 30) directly to a large analog ground plane
beneath the package.
Bypass all power supplies and the +10V reference output
to ground with 4.7µF tantalum capacitors in parallel with
0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Locate the bypass capacitors
as close to the unit as possible.
2. The ADS-930 achieves its specified accuracies without
the need for external calibration. If required, the device's
small initial offset and gain errors can be reduced to zero
using the adjustment circuitry shown in Figure 2. When
using this circuitry, or any similar offset and gain calibration hardware, make adjustments following warmup. To
avoid interaction, always adjust offset before gain. Tie
pins 5 and 6 to ANALOG GROUND (pin 4) if not using
offset and gain adjust circuits.
3. Pin 8 (COMP. BITS) is used to select the digital output coding
format of the ADS-930. See Tables 3a and 3b. When this pin
has a TTL logic "0" applied, it complements all of the
ADS-930's digital outputs.
When pin 8 has a logic "1" applied and the ADS-930 is
operated within its unipolar (0 to –10V) input range, the output
coding is straight binary. Applying a logic "0" to pin 8 under
these conditions changes the output coding to complementary binary.
When pin 8 has a logic "1" applied and the ADS-930 is
operated within its bipolar (±5V) input range, the output coding
is offset binary. Applying a logic "0" to pin 8 under these
conditions changes the coding to complementary offset
binary. Using the MSB output (pin 40) instead of the MSB
output (pin 39) under these conditions changes the respective
output codings to two's complement and complementary two's
complement.
Pin 8 is TTL-compatible and can be directly driven with digital
logic in applications requiring dynamic control over its
function. There is an internal pull-up resistor on pin 8 allowing

TECHNICAL NOTES cont.
it to be either connected to +5V or left open when a logic "1"
is required.
4. To enable the three-state outputs, connect ENABLE (pin 9)
to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin 9 to a logic "1"
(high).
5. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in
progress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and probably
inaccurate conversion cycle.
6. Do not enable/disable or complement the output bits or
read from the FIFO during the conversion process (from the
falling edge of START CONVERT to the falling edge of
EOC).
INTERNAL FIFO OPERATION
The ADS-930 contains an internal, user-initiated, 18-bit, 16word FIFO memory. Each word in the FIFO contains the 16
data bits as well as the MSB and OVERFLOW bits. Pins 23
(FIFO/DIR) and 10 (FIFO READ) control the FIFO's operation.
The FIFO's status can be monitored by reading pins 19
(FSTAT1) and 20 (FSTAT2).
When pin 23 (FIFO/DIR) has a logic "1" applied, the FIFO is
inserted into the digital data path. When pin 23 has a logic "0"
applied, the FIFO is transparent, and the output data goes
directly to the output three-state register (whose operation is
controlled by pin 9 (ENABLE)). Read and write commands to
the FIFO are ignored when the ADS-930 is operated in the
"direct" mode. It takes a maximum of 20ns to switch the FIFO
in or out of the ADS-930's operation.
FIFO WRITE and READ Modes
Once the FIFO has been enabled (pin 23 high), digital data is
automatically written to it, regardless of the status of FIFO
READ (pin 10). Assuming the FIFO is initially empty, it will
accept data (18-bit words) from the next 16 consecutive A/D
conversions. As a precaution, pin 10 (which controls the
FIFO's READ function) should not be low when data is first
written to an empty FIFO.
When the FIFO is initially empty, digital data from the first
conversion (the "oldest" data) appears at the output of the
®
FIFO immediately after the first conversion has been
completed and remains there until the FIFO is read.
If the output three-state register has been enabled (logic "0"
applied to pin 9), data from the first conversion will appear at
the output of the ADS-930. Attempting to write a 17th word
to a full FIFO will result in that data, and any subsequent
conversion data, being lost.
Once the FIFO is full (indicated by FSTAT1 and FSTAT2
both = "1"), it can be read by dropping the FIFO READ line
(pin 10) to a logic "0" and then applying a series of 15 rising
edges to the read line. Since the first data word is already
present at the FIFO output, the first read command (the first
rising edge applied to FIFO READ) will bring data from the
second conversion to the output. Each subsequent read
command/rising edge brings the next word to the output
lines.
If a read command is issued after the FIFO has been
emptied, the last word (the 16th conversion) will remain
present at the outputs.
FIFO Reset Feature
At any time, the FIFO can be reset to an empty state by
putting the ADS-930 into its "direct" mode (logic "0" applied
to pin 23, FIFO/DIR) and also applying a logic "0" to the
FIFO READ line (pin 10). The empty status of the FIFO will
be indicated by FSTAT1 going to a "0" and FSTAT2 going to
a "1". The status outputs will change 40ns after the control
signals have been applied.
FIFO Status, FSTAT1 and FSTAT2
The status of the data in the FIFO can be monitored by
reading the two status pins, FSTAT1 (pin 19) and FSTAT2
(pin 20).

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
(Refer to Figure 2 and Tables 3a, and 3b)
Connect the converter per Table 2 for the appropriate input
voltage range. Any offset/gain calibration procedures should
not be implemented until the device is fully warmed up. To
avoid interaction, adjust offset before gain. The ranges of
adjustment for the circuits in Figure 2 are guaranteed to
compensate for the ADS-930's initial accuracy errors and may
not be able to compensate for additional system errors.
A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital
outputs exactly on the transition point between two adjacent
digital output codes. This is accomplished by connecting
LED's to the digital outputs and performing adjustments 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-930, offset adjusting is normally accomplished
when the analog input is 0 minus ½ LSB (–76µV). See Table
3b for the proper bipolar and unipolar output coding.
Gain adjusting is accomplished when the analog input is at
nominal full scale minus 1½ LSB's (–9.999771V for unipolar
and +4.999771V for bipolar).

specified over operating temperature (case) ranges of
0 to +70°C and –55 to +125°C. All room-temperature
(TA = +25°C) 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. Electricallyinsulating, 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.
In more severe ambient conditions, the package/junction
temperature of a given device can be reduced dramatically
(typically 35%) by using one of DATEL's HS Series heat sinks.
See Ordering Information for the assigned part number. See

Catalog for more information on the HS Series. Request
