The ADC12V170 is a high-performance CMOS analog-todigital
converter with LVDS outputs. It is capable of converting
analog input signals into 12-Bit digital words at rates up to 170
Mega Samples Per Second (MSPS). Data leaves the chip in
a DDR (Dual Data Rate) format; this allows both edges of the
output clock to be utilized while achieving a smaller package
size. This converter uses a differential, pipelined architecture
with digital error correction and an on-chip sample-and-hold
circuit to minimize power consumption and the external component
count, while providing excellent dynamic performance.
A unique sample-and-hold stage yields a full-power
bandwidth of 1.1 GHz. The ADC12V170 operates from dual
+3.3V and +1.8V power supplies and consumes 781 mW of
power at 170 MSPS.
