ADC124S021 4 Channel, 50 ksps to 200 ksps, 12-Bit A/D Converter

General Description

The ADC124S021 is a low-power, four-channel CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with a high-speed serial interface. Unlike the conventional practice of specifying performance at a single sample rate only, the ADC124S021 is fully specified over a sample rate range of 50 ksps to 200 ksps. The con­verter is based on a successive-approximation register archi­tecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit. It can be configured to accept up to four input signals at inputs IN1 through IN4.
The output serial data is straight binary, and is compatible with several standards, such as SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and many common DSP serial interfaces.
The ADC124S021 operates with a single supply that can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption us­ing a +3V or +5V supply is 2.2 mW and 7.9 mW, respectively. The power-down feature reduces the power consumption to just 0.14 µW using a +3V supply, or 0.32 µW using a +5V supply.
The ADC124S021 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP package. Operation over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C is guaranteed.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supply (that is, VIN < GND or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 20
mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10 mA to two. The Absolute Maximum Rating specification does not apply to the VA pin. The current into the VA pin is limited by the Analog Supply Voltage specification.
Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDMAX = (TJmax − TA)/θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided.
Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through zero ohms.
Note 6: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 7: Tested limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 8: This is the frequency range over which the electrical performance is guaranteed. The device is functional over a wider range which is specified under
Operating Ratings.
Note 9: Min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis.
Note 10: Clock may be either high or low when CS
is asserted as long as setup and hold times t
CSU
and t
are strictly observed.
