GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRD87L85 is an 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter.
Designed using an advanced 3.3V CMOS process,
this part offers excellent performance, low power con-
sumption, and latch-up free operation.
This device uses a two-step flash architecture to
maintain low power consumption at high conversion
rates. The input circuitry of the XRD87L85 includes an
on-chip S/H function which allows the user to digitize
analog input signals between AGND and AV
DD. Careful
design and chip layout have achieved a low analog
input capacitance. This reduces “kickback” and eases
the requirements of the buffer/amplifier used to drive
the XRD87L85. The designer can choose the internally
generated reference voltages by connecting V
RB to
Latch-Up Free
ESD Protection: 2000V Minimum
20-Pin Package Available: XRD87L75
APPLICATIONS
Digital Color Copiers
Cellular Telephones
CCDs and Scanners
Video Capture Boards
V
RBS and VRT to VRTS, or provide external reference
voltages to the V
RB and VRT pins. The internal reference
generates 0.4V at V
RB and 1.72V at VRT. Providing
external reference voltages allows easy interface to
any input signal range between AGND and AV
DD. This
also allows the system to adjust these voltages to
cancel zero scale and full scale errors, or to change the
input range as needed.
The device operates from a single +3.3V supply.
Power consumption is 25mW at FS = 6MHz. Specified
for operation over the commercial/industrial (–40 to
+85°C) temperature range, the XRD87L85 is available
in Plastic Dual-in-line (PDIP), Surface Mount (SOIC)
and Small Outline (SOP) packages in EIAJ and
JEDEC.
