GENERAL DESCRIPTION

DATEL's ADS-941 is a functionally complete, 14-bit, 1MHz,
sampling A/D converter. Its standard, 32-pin, triple-wide
ceramic DIP contains a fast-settling sample/hold amplifier, a
14-bit subranging (two-pass) A/D converter, a precision
reference, a three-state output register, and all the timing and
control logic necessary to operate from a single start convert
pulse.

The ADS-941 is optimized for wideband frequency-domain
applications and is fully FFT tested. Total harmonic distortion
(THD) and signal-to-noise ratio (including distortion) typically
run at 85dB and 80dB, respectively, with full-scale inputs up
to 100kHz.

The ADS-941 requires ±15V and +5V supplies and typically
consumes 2.8 Watts.

TECHNICAL NOTES

1. Rated performance requires using good high-frequency

circuit board layout techniques. The analog and digital
grounds are not connected to each other internally. Avoid
ground-related problems by connecting the digital and
analog grounds to one point, the ground plane beneath the
converter. Due to the inductance and resistance of the
power supply return paths, return the analog and digital
ground separately to the power supplies.

2. Bypass the analog and digital supplies and the +10V REF.

OUT (pin 1) to ground with a 4.7µF, 25V tantalum electro-
lytic capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.

3. CODING SELECT (pin 8) is compatible with CMOS/TTL

logic levels for those users desiring logic control of this
function. The device has an internal pull-up resistor on this
pin, allowing pin 8 to be connected to +5V or left open when
a logic 1 is needed. See the Calibration Procedure for
selecting an output coding.

4. To enable the three-state outputs, connect ENABLE (pin 9)

to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin 9 to a logic "1"
(high).

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1. Connect the converter per Figure 3 and Table 1 for the

appropriate input range. Apply a pulse of 50 nanoseconds
minimum to START CONVERT (pin 32) at a rate of 200kHz.
This rate is chosen to reduce flicker if LED's are used on
the outputs for calibration purposes.

2. Zero Adjustments

Apply a precision voltage reference source between
ANALOG INPUT (pin 3) and SIGNAL GROUND (pin 4),
then adjust the reference source output per Table 2.

For unipolar operation, adjust the zero trimpot so that the
output code flickers equally between 00 0000 0000 0000
and 00 0000 0000 0001 with CODING SELECT (pin 8) tied
low (straight binary) or between 11 1111 1111 1111 and 11
1111 1111 1110 with pin 8 tied high (complementary binary).

For bipolar operation, adjust the trimpot until the code
flickers equally between 10 0000 0000 0000 and 10 0000
0000 0001 with pin 8 tied low (offset binary) or between 01
1111 1111 1111 and 01 1111 1111 1110 with pin 8 tied high
(complementary offset binary).

Two's complement coding requires using BIT 1 OUT (MSB)
(pin 31). With pin 8 tied low, adjust the trimpot until the
code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 and 00 0000
0000 0001.

3. Full-Scale Adjustment

Set the output of the voltage reference used in step 2 to the
value shown in Table 2.

Adjust the gain trimpot until the output code flickers equally
between 11 1111 1111 1110 and 11 1111 1111 1111 with pin 8

THERMAL REQUIREMENTS

All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and
specified over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to
+70°C and 55 to +125°C. All room-temperature (T

= +25°C)

production testing is performed without the use of heat sinks or
forced-air cooling. Thermal impedance figures for each device
are listed in their respective specification tables.

These devices do not normally require heat sinks, however,
standard precautionary design and layout procedures should
be used to ensure devices do not overheat. The ground and
power planes beneath the package, as well as all pcb signal
runs to and from the device, should be as heavy as possible to
help conduct heat away from the package. Electrically-
insulating, thermally-conductive "pads" may be installed
underneath the package. Devices should be soldered to
boards rather than "socketed", and of course, minimal air flow
over the surface can greatly help reduce the package
temperature.

In more severe ambient conditions, the package/junction
temperature of a given device can be reduced dramatically
(typically 35%) by using one of DATEL's HS Series heat sinks.
See Ordering Information for the assigned part number. See
page 1-183 of the DATEL Data Acquisition Components
Catalog for more information on the HS Series. Request
DATEL Application Note AN-8, "Heat Sinks for DIP Data
Converters", or contact DATEL directly, for additional
information.

tied low for straight binary/offset binary or between 00 0000
0000 0000 and 00 0000 0000 0001 with pin 8 tied high for
complementary binary/complementary offset binary.

Two's complement coding requires using pin 31. With pin 8
tied low, adjust the gain trimpot until the output code flickers
equally between 01 1111 1111 1110 and 01 1111 1111 1111.

4. To confirm proper operation of the device, vary the precision

reference voltage source to obtain the output coding listed
in Table 3.

Removing System Errors

Use external potentiometers to remove system errors or to
reduce the small initial errors to zero. Use a 100

trimpot in

series with the analog input for gain adjustment. Use a fixed
50

resistor instead of the trimpot for operation without

adjustment. Use a 20k

trimpot with the wiper tied to OFFSET

ADJUST (pin 5) for zero/offset adjustment. Connect pin 5 to
ANALOG GROUND (pin 6) for operation without zero/offset
adjustment.
