PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD871 is a monolithic 12-bit, 5 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter with an on-chip, high performance track-and-hold
amplifier and voltage reference. The AD871 uses a multistage
differential pipelined architecture with error correction logic to
provide 12-bit accuracy at 5 MSPS data rates and guarantees no
missing codes over the full operating temperature range. The
AD871 is a redesigned variation of the AD872 12-bit, 10 MSPS
ADC, optimized for lower noise in applications requiring sam-
pling rates of 5 MSPS or less. The AD871 is pin compatible
with the AD872, allowing the parts to be used interchangeably
as system requirements change.
The low-noise input track-and-hold (T/H) of the AD871 is ide-
ally suited for high-end imaging applications. In addition, the
T/H’s high input impedance and fast settling characteristics
allow the AD871 to easily interface with multiplexed systems
that switch multiple signals through a single A/D converter. The
dynamic performance of the input T/H also renders the AD871
suitable for sampling single channel inputs at frequencies up to
and beyond the Nyquist rate. The AD871 provides both refer-
ence output and reference input pins, allowing the onboard ref-
erence to serve as a system reference. An external reference can
also be chosen to suit the dc accuracy and temperature drift
requirements of the application. A single clock input is used to
control all internal conversion cycles. The digital output data is
presented in twos complement binary output format. An out-of-
range signal indicates an overflow condition, and can be used
with the most significant bit to determine low or high overflow.
The AD871 is fabricated on Analog Devices’ ABCMOS-1 pro-
cess, which uses high speed bipolar and CMOS transistors on a
single chip. High speed, precision analog circuits are now com-
bined with high density logic circuits.
The AD871 is packaged in a 28-lead ceramic DIP and a
44-terminal leadless ceramic surface mount package and is
specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C and –55°C to
+125°C.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD871 offers a complete single-chip sampling 12-bit,
5 MSPS analog-to-digital conversion function in a 28-lead DIP
or 44-terminal leadless ceramic surface mount package (LCC).
Low Noise—The
AD871 features 0.17 LSB referred-to-input
noise, producing essentially a “1 code wide” histogram for a
code-centered dc input.
Low Power—The
AD871 at 1.03 W consumes a fraction of the
power of presently available hybrids.
On-Chip Track-and-Hold (T/H)—The
low noise, high imped-
ance T/H input eliminates the need for external buffers and can
be configured for single ended or differential inputs.
Ease of Use—The
AD871 is complete with T/H and voltage ref-
erence and is pin-compatible with the AD872 (12-bit, 10 MSPS
monolithic ADC).
Out of Range (OTR)—The
OTR output bit indicates when the
input signal is beyond the AD871’s input range.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability.

LCC Package Only.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD871 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
