The ADC12281 is a monolithic CMOS analog-to-digital converter capable of converting analog input signals into 12-bit
digital words at 20 megasamples per second (MSPS). It utilizes a pipeline architecture to minimize die size and power
dissipation. Self-calibration and error correction maintain accuracy and performance over temperature.
TheADC12281operateson a 5V power supply and can digitize single-ended analog input signals in the range of 0V to
2V. A single convert clock controls the conversion operation
and all digital I/O is TTL compatible.
The ADC12881 is designed to minimize external components necessary for the analog input interface. An internal
sample-and-hold circuit samples the single-ended analog input and an internal amplifier buffers the reference voltage input.
The Power Down feature reduces power consumption to
20 mW, typical.
The ADC12281 is available in the 32-lead TQFP package
and is designed to operate over the industrial temperature
range of −40˚C to +85˚C.
