The ADC12EU050 is a 12-bit, ultra-low power, octal A/D converter for use in high performance analog to digital applications.
The ADC12EU050 uses an innovative continuous time sigma delta architecture offering ultra low power consumption and an alias
free sample bandwidth up to 25MHz. The input stage of each channel features a proprietary system to ensure instantaneous recovery
from overdrive. Instant overload recovery (IOR) with no memory effect guarantees the elimination of phase errors resulting
from out of range input signals. The
ADC12EU050 reduces interconnection complexity by using programmable serialized outputs which offer the industry standard LVDS and SLVS
modes. Power consumption of only 48mW per channel @ 50MSPS gives a total chip power consumption of 384mW. The ADC12EU050 can
operate entirely from a 1.2V supply, although a separate output driver supply of up to 1.8V can be used. The device operates
from -40 to +85 °C and is supplied in a 10 x 10 mm
2, 68 pin package.
The evaluation board is designed to be used with the WaveVision5™ Data Capture Board which is connected
to a personal computer through a USB port and running WaveVision5™ software, operating under Microsoft
Windows. The software can perform an FFT on the captured data upon command and, in addition to a frequency domain plot, shows dynamic performance in the form of SNR, SINAD, THD SFDR and ENOB.
