HMXADC9225
Radiation Hardened 12-Bit, 20 MSPS
Monolithic A/D Converter
The HMXADC9225 is a radiation hardened monolithic, single supply, 12-bit, 20
MSPS, analog-to-digital converter with an on-chip, high performance sample-and-
hold amplifier. The HMXADC9225 uses a multistage differential pipelined
architecture with output error correction logic to provide 12-bit accuracy at 20 MSPS
data rates, and guarantees no missing codes over the full operating temperature
range.
The HMXADC9225 is fabricated on a radiation hardened SOI-IV Silicon On Insulator
(SOI) process with very low power consumption.
The input of the HMXADC9225 allows for easy interfacing to space and military imaging, sensor, and communications
systems. With a truly differential input structure, the user can select a variety of input ranges and offsets including single-
ended applications. The dynamic performance is excellent.
The sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is well suited for both multiplexed systems that switch full-scale voltage levels in
successive channels and sampling single-channel inputs at frequencies up to and well beyond the Nyquist rate.
A single clock input is used to control all internal conversion cycles. The digital output data is presented in straight binary
output format.

HMXADC9225
SIGNAL DEFINITION
DRVDD
The Digital Output Power Supply (DRVDD) can operate
at either 5.0V or 3.3V. The DRVDD voltage defines
the interface voltage level for all the digital I/O signals
including Clock input, Output Enable, and all data
output signals.
OUTPUT ENABLE (OE)
This signal controls the electrical state of the digital
output drivers. A high logic level will enable the outputs
and a low logic level will put the output drivers into a
high impedance state.
RBIAS
R-Bias is required to create the internal bias currents.
An external resistor with a value of 5kΩ shall be
connected between pin 17 and ground.
The R-Bias resistor can also be used to change the
power consumption. By changing the resistor value,
the current consumption can be changed. The range of
this feature not yet characterized.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
The HMXADC9225 requires the user to provide an
external voltage reference as an
INPUT
to the device.
The device is designed to operate using a 1.0V to 2.0V
external voltage reference. The input range will then be
defined by the VREF.
The full scale signal input = 2 x VREF. Signals outside
this range will be considered “out of range”.
CML (Common Mode Level)
This signal is an analog output at a value of AVDD/2. It
can be used as a reference for biasing external circuits
to a “mid-rail” value. This signal should be decoupled
with a 0.1uF capacitor.
Total Ionizing Radiation Dose
The HMXADC9225 will meet all stated functional and
electrical specifications over the entire operating
temperature range after the specified total ionizing
radiation dose. All electrical and timing performance
parameters will remain within specifications after
rebound at VDD = 5.0 V extrapolated to ten years of
operation. Total dose hardness is assured by wafer
level testing of process monitor transistors using 10
KeV X-ray and Co60 radiation sources. Transistor gate
threshold shift correlations have been made between
10 KeV X-rays applied at a dose rate of 1x10
5
rad(SiO
2
)/min at T=25°C and gamma rays (Cobalt 60
source) to ensure that wafer level X-ray testing is
consistent with standard military radiation test
environments.
Transient Pulse Ionizing Radiation
The HMXADC9225 will meet any functional or electrical
specification after exposure to a radiation pulse up to
the transient dose rate survivability specification, when
applied under recommended operating conditions. Note
that the current conducted during the pulse by the ADC
inputs, outputs, and power supply may significantly
exceed the normal operating levels. The application
design must accommodate these effects.
Soft Error Rate
The HMXADC9225 is not guaranteed to operate
through an SEU or dose rate event, but it will recover
and continue to meet all specifications over the full
temperature range after an event.
Latchup and Snapback
The HMXADC9225 will not latch up due to any of the
above radiation exposure conditions when applied
under recommended operating conditions. Fabrication
with the SIMOX substrate material provides oxide
isolation between adjacent PMOS and NMOS
transistors and eliminates any potential SCR latchup
structures. Sufficient transistor body tie connections to
the p- and n-channel substrates are made to ensure no
source/drain snapback occurs.
