ADS-929
14-Bit, 2MHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ADS-929 is a high-performance, 14-bit,
2MHz sampling A/D converter. This device samples
input signals up to Nyquist frequencies with no
missing codes. The ADS-929 features outstanding
dynamic performance including a THD of –79dB.
Housed in a small 24-pin DDIP or SMT (gull-
wing) package, the functionally complete ADS-929
contains a fast-settling sample-hold amplifier, a
subranging (two-pass) A/D converter, a precise
voltage reference, timing/control logic, and error-
correction circuitry. Digital input and output levels
are TTL.
Requiring ±15V (or ±12V) and +5V supplies,
the ADS-929 typically dissipates 1.7W (1.4W for
±12V). The unit is offered with a bipolar input
(–5V to +5V). Models are available for use in
either commercial (0 to +70°C), industrial (–40
to +100°C), or HI-REL (–55 to +125°C) operating
temperature ranges. Applications include radar,
sonar, spectrum analysis, and graphic/medical
imaging.

➀
All power supplies must be on before applying a start convert pulse. All supplies
and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warmup periods.
The device must be continuously converting during this time. There is a slight
degradation in performance when using ±12V supplies.
➁
See Ordering Information for 0 to +10V input range. Contact DATEL for availability
of other input voltage ranges.
➂
A 2MHz clock with a 200ns wide start convert pulse is used for all production
testing. See Timing Diagram for more details.
TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-929 requires care-
ful 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 performance, tie all ground pins (14, 19 and 23) directly to a
large
analog
ground plane beneath the package.
Bypass all power supplies and the REFERENCE OUTPUT (pin 21) 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. If the user-
installed offset and gain adjusting circuit shown in Figure 2 is used, also
locate it as close to the ADS-929 as possible.
2. The ADS-929 achieves its specified accuracies without the need for exter-
nal calibration. If required, the device's small initial offset and gain errors
DATEL
•
can be reduced to zero using the input circuit of Figure 2. When using this
circuit, or any similar offset and gain-calibration hardware, make adjust-
ments following warmup. To avoid interaction, always adjust offset before
gain.
3. When operating the ADS-929 from ±12V supplies, do not drive external
circuitry with the REFERENCE OUTPUT. The reference's accuracy and drift
specifications may not be met, and loading the circuit may cause accuracy
errors within the converter.
4. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in progress (EOC =
logic "1") initiates a new and inaccurate conversion cycle. Data from the
interrupted and subsequent conversions will be invalid.

ADS-929
14-Bit, 2MHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters
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 (+4.999085V).
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input (pin 16) so the con-
verter is continuously converting. If using LED's on the outputs, a 200kHz
conversion rate will reduce flicker.
2. Apply +305μV to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 20).
3. Adjust the offset potentiometer until the output bits are a 1 and all 0's and
the LSB flickers between 0 and 1.
Gain Adjust Procedure
1. 1. Apply +4.999085V to the ANALOG INPUT (pin 20).
2. Adjust the gain potentiometer until the output bits are all 1's and the LSB
flickers between 1 and 0.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE (Refer to Figures 2 and 3)
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 circuit of Figure 2
are guaranteed to compensate for the ADS-929's initial accuracy errors
and may not be able to compensate for additional system errors.
All fixed resistors in Figure 2 should be metal-film types, and multiturn
potentiometers should have TCR’s of 100ppm/°C or less to minimize drift
with temperature.
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-929, 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 (+305μV).

ADS-929
14-Bit, 2MHz, Low-Power Sampling A/D Converters
devices do not overheat. The ground and power planes beneath the package,
as well as all pcb signal runs to and from the device, should be as heavy as
possible to help conduct heat away from the package.
Electrically-insulating, thermally-conductive "pads" may be installed
underneath the package. Devices should be soldered to boards rather than
"socketed," and of course, minimal air flow over the surface can greatly help
reduce the package temperature.
THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and speci-
fied over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to +70°C and –55
to +125°C. All room-temperature (T
A
= +25°C) production testing is
performed without the use of heat sinks or forced-air cooling. Thermal
impedance figures for each device are listed in their respective specifica-
tion tables.
These devices do not normally require heat sinks; however, standard
precautionary design and layout procedures should be used to ensure

2. The ADS-929 is an edge-triggered device. All internal operations
are triggered by the rising edge of the start convert pulse, which
may be as narrow as 20nsec. All production testing is performed
at a 2MHz sampling rate with 200nsec wide start pulses. For
lower sampling rates, wider start pulses may be used, however, a
minimum pulse width low of 20nsec must be maintained.
