Description
The TSA1204 is a new generation of high speed,
dual-channel analog-to-digital converters
implemented in a mainstream 0.25 µm CMOS
technology yielding high performance and very
low power consumption.
bs
O
The TSA1204 is specifically designed for
applications requiring very low noise floor, high
SFDR and good insulation between channels. It is
based on a pipeline structure and digital error
correction to provide excellent static linearity and
over 11.2 effective bits at F
S
=20 Msps, and
F
in
=10 MHz.
For each channel, an integrated voltage reference
simplifies the design and minimizes external
components. It is nevertheless possible to use the
circuit with external references.
The ADC outputs are multiplexed in a common
bus with a small number of pins. A tri-state
capability is available for the outputs, allowing
chip selection.
