SPT7750
8-BIT, 500 MSPS FLASH A/D CONVERTER
FEATURES
• 1:2 Demuxed ECL Compatible Outputs
• Wide Input Bandwidth - 900 MHz
• Low Input Capacitance - 15 pF (MQUAD)
• Metastable Errors Reduced to 1 LSB
• Monolithic for Low Cost
• Gray Code Output
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT7750 is a full parallel (flash) analog-to-digital converter capable of digitizing full scale (0 to -2 V) inputs into
eight-bit digital words at an update rate of 500 MSPS. The
ECL-compatible outputs are demultiplexed into two separate
output banks, each with differential data ready outputs to
ease the task of data capture. The SPT7750's wide input
bandwidth and low capacitance eliminate the need for external track-and-hold amplifiers for most applications. A propri-

etary decoding scheme reduces metastable errors to the
1 LSB level. The SPT7750 operates from a single -5.2 V
supply, with a nominal power dissipation of 5.5 W.
The SPT7750 is available in an 80L surface-mount MQUAD
package over the industrial temperature range and in die
form. Contact the factory for availability of /883 versions.

TEST LEVEL CODES
All electrical characteristics are subject to the
following conditions:
All parameters having min/max specifications
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.
Unless otherwise noted, all tests are pulsed
tests; therefore, TJ = TC = TA.
