3 Description
The ADS921x is a family of 18-bit, high-speed, dualchannel,
simultaneous-sampling, analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) with an integrated driver for the
ADC inputs. The integrated ADC driver simplifies
the signal chain, reduces power consumption for
precision applications, and supports high-frequency
signals beyond 1MHz. By not requiring an external
decoupling capacitor, the integrated ADC reference
buffer is optimized for wide bandwidth applications.
The ADS921x uses a serial LVDS (SLVDS)
data interface that enables high-speed digital
communication while minimizing digital switching
noise. Read the dual-channel ADC data using
separate SLVDS outputs per ADC channel or one
SLVDS output for both ADC channels.
