GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT7850 is a 10-bit monolithic, low-cost, ultralowpower analog-to-digital converter capable of minimum
word rates of 20 MSPS. The on-chip track-and-hold function assures very good dynamic performance without the
need for external components. The input drive requirements are minimized due to the SPT7850’s low input
capacitance of only 5 pF.
Po wer dissipation is e xtremely lo w at only 140 mW typical
(165 mW maximum) at 20 MSPS with a power supply of
+5.0 V. The digital outputs are +3 V or +5 V, and are user
selectable. The SPT7850 is pin-compatible with an entire
APPLICATIONS
• All high-speed applications where low power
dissipation is required
• Video imaging
• Medical imaging
• IR imaging
• Scanners
• Digital communications
family of 10-bit, CMOS conv erters (SPT7835/40/50/55/60/
61), which simplifies upgrades. The SPT7850 has incorpo-
rated proprietary circuit design* and CMOS processing
technologies to achieve its adv anced perf ormance. Inputs
and outputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible to interface with
TTL/CMOS logic systems. Output data format is straight
binary.
The SPT7850 is available in 28-lead 300 mil PDIP and
32-lead small (7 mm square) TQFP packages over the
commercial temperature range, and in a 28-lead SOIC
package over the industrial temperature range.

are guaranteed. The Test Level column indicates the specific device testing actually performed during production and Quality Assurance inspection. Any blank section in the data
column indicates that the specification is not
tested at the specified condition.
LEVEL TEST PROCEDURE
I 100% production tested at the specified temperature.
II 100% production tested at TA = +25 °C, and sample tested at the
specified temperatures.
III QA sample tested only at the specified temperatures.
IV Parameter is guaranteed (but not tested) by design and characteri-
zation data.
V Parameter is a typical value for information pur poses only.
VI 100% production tested at TA = +25 °C. Parameter is guaranteed
over specified temperature range.

sampled.
APERTURE JITTER
The variations in aperture delay for successive samples.
