GENERAL DESCRIPTION

DATEL's ADS-118 and ADS-118A are 12-bit, 5MHz, sampling
A/D converters packaged in space-saving 24-pin DDIP’s. The
ADS-118 offers an input range of ±1V and has three-state
outputs. The ADS-118A has an input range of ±1.25V and
features direct adjustment of offset error.

These functionally complete low-power devices (1.3 Watts)
contain an internal fast-settling sample/hold amplifier, a 12-bit
subranging A/D converter, a precise voltage reference, timing/
control logic, and error-correction circuitry. All timing and
control logic operates from the rising edge of a single start
convert pulse. Digital input and output levels are TTL. Models
are available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or
military (–55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges.

Applications include radar, transient signal analysis, process
control, medical/graphic imaging, and FFT spectrum analysis.

the adjustment circuitry shown in Figures 2a and 2b. When
using this circuitry, or any similar offset and gain-calibration
hardware, make adjustments following warmup. To avoid
interaction, always adjust offset before gain.

3. To enable the three-state outputs, connect ENABLE
(pin 17) to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin 17 to
logic "1" (high). The three-state outputs are permanently
enabled in the ADS-118A.

4. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in
progress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and inaccurate
conversion cycle.

Actual Input Amplitude

➀ All power supplies should be on before applying a start convert pulse. All

supplies and the clock (start convert pulses) must be present during warmup
periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time.

➁ Input voltage ranges for ADS-118A is ±1.25V
➂ A 100ns wide start convert pulse is used for all production testing. For

applications requiring less than an 5MHz sampling rate, wider start convert
pulses can be used.
NOTE: The device only requires the rising edge of a start convert pulse to
operate.

TECHNICAL NOTES

1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-118
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, 18, and 23) directly to a large
analog ground plane beneath the package.

Bypass all power supplies 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-118 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
