GENERAL DESCRIPTION

DATEL's ADS-118 and ADS-118A are 12-bit, 5MHz, sampling
A/D converters packaged in space-saving 24-pin DDIP's. The
ADS-118 offers an input range of ±1V and has three-state
outputs. The ADS-118A has an input range of ±1.25V and
features direct adjustment of offset error.

These functionally complete low-power devices (1.3 Watts)
contain an internal fast-settling sample/hold amplifier, a 12-bit
subranging A/D converter, a precise voltage reference, timing/
control logic, and error-correction circuitry. All timing and
control logic operates from the rising edge of a single start
convert pulse. Digital input and output levels are TTL. Models
are available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or
military (55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges.

Applications include radar, transient signal analysis, process
control, medical/graphic imaging, and FFT spectrum analysis.

using this circuitry, or any similar offset and gain-calibration
hardware, make adjustments following warmup. To avoid
interaction, always adjust offset before gain.

3. To enable the three-state outputs, connect ENABLE

(pin 17) to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin 17 to
logic "1" (high). The three-state outputs are permanently
enabled in the ADS-118A.

4. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in

progress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and inaccurate

All power supplies should be on before applying a start convert pulse. All
supplies and the clock (start convert pulses) must be present during warmup
periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time.

Input voltage ranges for ADS-118A is ±1.25V

A 100ns wide start convert pulse is used for all production testing. For
applications requiring less than an 5MHz sampling rate, wider start convert
pulses can be used.
NOTE: The device only requires the rising edge of a start convert pulse to
operate.

TECHNICAL NOTES

1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-118

requires careful attention to pc-card layout and power supply
decoupling. The device's analog and digital ground systems
are connected to each other internally. For optimal perfor-
mance, tie all ground pins (14, 18, and 23) directly to a large
analog ground plane beneath the package.

Bypass all power supplies to ground with 4.7µF tantalum
capacitors in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Locate
the bypass capacitors as close to the unit as possible.

2. The ADS-118 achieves its specified accuracies without the

need for external calibration. If required, the device's small
initial offset and gain errors can be reduced to zero using

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Any offset and/or gain calibration procedures should not be
implemented until devices are fully warmed up. To avoid
interaction, offset must be adjusted before gain. The ranges of
adjustment for the circuits in Figures 2a and 2b are guaranteed
to compensate for the ADS-118's initial accuracy errors and
may not be able to compensate for additional system errors.

A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital
outputs exactly on the transition point between two adjacent
digital output codes. This can be accomplished by connecting

LED's to the digital outputs and adjusting until certain LED's
"flicker" equally between on and off. Other approaches employ
digital comparators or microcontrollers to detect when the
outputs change from one code to the next.

For the ADS-118, offset adjusting is normally accomplished at
the point where the MSB is a 1 and all other output bits are 0's
and the LSB just changes from a 0 to a 1. This digital output
transition ideally occurs when the applied analog input is
+½LSB (+244µV for ADS-118; +305µV for ADS-118A).

Gain adjusting is accomplished when all bits are 1's and the
LSB just changes from a 1 to a 0. This transition ideally occurs
when the analog input is at +full scale minus 1½ LSB's
(+0.99927V for ADS-118; +1.249085V for ADS-118A).

Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure

1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input

(pin 16) so the converter is continuously converting.

2. Apply +244µV (ADS-118) or +305µV (ADS-118A) to the

ANALOG INPUT (pin 19).

the ANALOG INPUT (pin 19).

2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until all output bits are 1's

3. To confirm proper operation of the device, vary the input

signal to obtain the output coding listed in Table 1.
