GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The low-cost ADS-932 is a 16-bit, 2MHz sampling A/D
converter. This device accurately samples full-scale input
signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no missing codes. The
dynamic performance of the ADS-932 has been optimized to
achieve a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 87dB and a total
harmonic distortion (THD) of –88dB.
Packaged in a 40-pin TDIP, the functionally complete ADS-932
contains a fast-settling sample-hold amplifier, a subranging
(two-pass) A/D converter, an internal reference, timing/control
logic, and error-correction circuitry. Digital input and output
levels are TTL. The ADS-932 only requires the rising edge of
the start convert pulse to operate.
Requiring only ±5V supplies, the ADS-932 dissipates 1.85
Watts. The device is offered with a bipolar (±2.75V) analog
input range or a unipolar (0 to – 5.5V) input range. Models are
available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or military
(–55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges. A proprietary,
auto-calibrating, error-correcting circuit enables the device to
achieve specified performance over the full military
temperature range. Typical applications include medical
imaging, radar, sonar, communications and instrumentation.

Footnotes:
➀ All power supplies must be on before applying a start convert pulse. All
supplies and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warm-up
periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time. There is
a slight degradation in performance when operating the device in the unipolar
mode.
➁ When COMP. BITS (pin 35) is low, logic loading "0" will be –350µA.
➂ A 1MHz clock with a positive pulse width is used for all production
testing. See Timing Diagram for more details.
40ns < Start Pulse < 175ns or 280ns < Start Pulse < 460ns
➄ This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid once the analog
input is back within the specified range. This time is only guaranteed if the input
does not exceed ±4.75V (bipolar)
or +2 to –7.5V (unipolar).
➅ The minimum supply voltages of +4.9V and –4.9V for ±VDD are required for
–55°C operation only. The minimum limits are +4.75V and –4.75V when
operating at +125°C.

TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-932
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, 7, 30 and 36) directly to a
large analog ground plane beneath the package.
Bypass all power supplies and the +3.2V 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-932 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 warm-up. 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 35 (COMP. BITS) is used to select the digital output
coding format of the ADS-932 (see Tables 2a and 2b).
When this pin has a TTL logic "0" applied, it complements
all of the ADS-932’s digital outputs.
Pin 35 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 35
allowing it to be either connected to +5V or left open when a
logic "1" is required.
4. To enable the three-state outputs, connect OUTPUT
ENABLE (pin 34) to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin
34 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. Data from both the interrupted
and subsequent conversions will be invalid.

6. Do not enable/disable or complement the output bits or
read from the FIFO during the conversion process (from the
rising edge of EOC to the falling edge of EOC).
7. The OVERFLOW bit (pin 33) switches from 0 to 1 when the
input voltage exceeds that which produces an output of all
1’s or when the input equals or exceeds the voltage that
produces all 0’s. When COMP BITS is activated, the above
conditions are reversed.
8. When configuring the ADS-932 for the unipolar mode, Pin 1
(+3.2V REF.) should be connected to Pin 2 (Unipolar)
through a non-inverting op-amp. For precision DC applications an OP-07 type amplifier is recommended, while AC
applications requiring the lowest level of harmonic distortion should consider the AD9631.
When configuring the ADS-932 for the bipolar mode, Pin 2
(Unipolar) should be physically disconnected from the
surrounding circuitry. This will help prevent noise from
coupling into the A/D.
INTERNAL FIFO OPERA TION
The ADS-932 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 8 (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 34), data from the first conversion will appear at
the output of the ADS-932. 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
equal to "1"), it can be read by dropping the FIFO READ line
(pin 9) 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.
After the 15th rising edge brings the 16th data word to the
FIFO output, the subsequent falling edge on READ will update
the status outputs (after a 20ns maximum delay) to FSTAT1 =
0, FSTAT2 = 1 indicating that the FIFO is empty.
If a read command is issued after the FIFO empties, the last
word (the 16th conversion) will remain present at the outputs.
DIR) and 9 (FIFO READ) control the FIFO's operation. The
FIFO's status can be monitored by reading pins 10 (FSTAT1)
and 11 (FSTAT2).
When pin 8 (FIFO/DIR) has a logic "1" applied, the FIFO is
inserted into the digital data path. When pin 8 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 34 (ENABLE)). Read and write commands to
FIFO Reset Feature
At any time, the FIFO can be reset to an empty state by putting
the ADS-932 into its "direct" mode (logic "0" applied to pin 8,
FIFO/DIR) and also applying a logic "0" to the FIFO READ line
(pin 9). The empty status of the FIFO will be indicated by
FSTAT1 going to a "0" and FSTAT2 going to a "1". The status
outputs change 40ns after applying the control signals.
the FIFO are ignored when the ADS-932 is operated in the
"direct" mode. It takes a maximum of 20ns to switch the FIFO
in or out of the ADS-932’s digital data path.
FIFO Status, FSTAT1 and FSTAT2
Monitor the status of the data in the FIFO by reading the two
FIFO Write and Read Modes
Once the FIFO has been enabled (pin 8 high), digital data is
automatically written to it, regardless of the status of FIFO
READ (pin 9). 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 9 (which controls the FIFO's
READ function) should not be low when data is first written to
status pins, FSTAT1 (pin 10) and FSTAT2 (pin 11).

CONNECT for UNIPOLAR MODE
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Connect the converter per Figure 2. 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-932’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-932, offset adjusting is normally accomplished
when the analog input is 0 minus ½ LSB (–42µV). See Table
2b for the proper bipolar output coding.
Gain adjusting is accomplished when the analog input is at
nominal full scale minus 1½ LSB's (+2.749874V).
Note: Connect pin 5 to ANALOG GROUND (pin 4) for
operation without zero/offset adjustment. Connect pin 6 to pin
4 for operation without gain adjustment.
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input (pin
12) so that the converter is continuously converting.
2. For unipolar or bipolar zero/offset adjust, apply –42µV to the
ANALOG INPUT (pin 3).
3. For bipolar inputs, adjust the offset potentiometer until the
code flickers between 1000 0000 0000 0000 and 0111 1111
1111 1111 with pin 35 tied high (complementary offset
binary) or between 0111 1111 1111 1111 and 1000 0000
0000 0000 with pin 35 tied low (offset binary).
For unipolar inputs, adjust the offset potentiometers until all
output bits are 0's and the LSB flickers between 0 and 1 with
Pin 35 tied high (straight binary) or until all bits are 1's and
the LSB flickers between 0 and 1 with pin 35 tied low
(complementary binary).
4. Two's complement coding requires using BIT 1 (MSB) (pin
29). With pin 35 tied low, adjust the trimpot until the output
code flickers between all 0’s and all 1’s.
Gain Adjust Procedure
1. Apply +2.749874V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 3).
2. For bipolar inputs adjust the gain potentiometer until all
output bits are 0’s and the LSB flickers between a 1 and 0
with pin 35 tied high (complementary offset binary) or until
all output bits are 1’s and the LSB flickers between a 1 and
0 with pin 35 tied low (offset binary).
3. Two's complement coding requires using BIT 1 (MSB)
(pin 29). With pin 35 tied low, adjust the gain trimpot until
the output code flickers equally between 0111 1111 1111
1111 and 0111 1111 1111 1110.
All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and
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. Electrically
insulating, 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
page 1-183 of the DATEL Data Acquisition Components
Catalog for more information on the HS Series. Request

Converters," or contact DATEL directly, for additional
