DESCRIPTION
The ADC1173 is a low power, 15 MSPS analog-to-
digital converter that digitizes signals to 8 bits while
consuming just 33 mW of power (typ). The ADC1173
uses a unique architecture that achieves 7.6 Effective
Bits. Output formatting is straight binary coding.
The excellent DC and AC characteristics of this
device, together with its low power consumption and
+3V single supply operation, make it ideally suited for
many video, imaging and communications
applications, including use in portable equipment.
Furthermore, the ADC1173 is resistant to latch-up
and the outputs are short-circuit proof. The top and
bottom of the ADC1173's reference ladder is available for connections, enabling a wide range of
input possibilities.
The ADC1173 is offered in a 24-pin TSSOP package
and is designed to operate over the -40°C to +75°C
commercial temperature range.
