The ADC1175-50 is a low power, 50 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter that digitizes signals to 8 bits while consuming just
125 mW (typ). The ADC1175-50 uses a unique architecture
that achieves 6.8 Effective Bits at 25 MHz input and 50 MHz
clock frequency. Output formatting is straight binary coding.
The excellent DC and AC characteristics of this device, together
with its low power consumption and +5V single supply
operation, make it ideally suited for many video and imaging
applications, including use in portable equipment. Furthermore,
the ADC1175-50 is resistant to latch-up and the outputs
are short-circuit proof. The top and bottom of the
ADC1175-50's reference ladder is available for connections,
enabling a wide range of input possibilities. The low input capacitance
(7 pF, typical) makes this device easier to drive than
conventional flash converters and the power down mode reduces
power consumption to less than 5 mW.
