General Description
The CLC952 is a complete monolithic 12-bit 41MSPS analog-to-
digital converter system. Fabricated from a 0.8
μ
m BiCMOS
process, the CLC952’s on-chip features include a very
linear wideband track-and-hold, bandgap voltage reference and a
proprietary 12-bit multi-stage quantizer. The CLC952 has been
designed for wideband digital communications receivers and
features a 72dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) and 64dB
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
The CLC952 operates from a standard ±5V power supply and
features excellent noise isolation with its >60dB power-supply
rejection ratio (PSRR). All digital control functions and output
registers are TTL compatible. The CLC952AC operates over the
commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and the CLC952AJ
operates over the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
version. The CLC952 is available in a 28-pin SSOP that provides
an extremely small footprint for reduced board space. National
Semiconductor thoroughly tests each part to verify full
compliance with guaranteed specifications.
