The LTC
®
1279 is a 1.4µs, 600ksps, sampling 12-bit A/D
converter which draws only 60mW from a single 5V or
±5V
supplies. This easy-to-use device comes complete
with a 160ns sample-and-hold, a precision reference and
an internally trimmed clock. Unipolar and bipolar conver-
sion modes add to the flexibility of the ADC. The low
power dissipation is reduced even more, drawing only
8.5mW in power shutdown mode. Instant wake-up from
power shutdown allows the converter to be powered
down even during brief inactive periods.
The LTC1279 converts 0V to 5V unipolar inputs from a
single 5V supply and
±2.5V
bipolar inputs from
±5V
supplies. Maximum DC specs include
±1LSB
INL and
±1LSB
DNL. Outstanding guaranteed AC performance
includes 70dB S/(N + D) and 78dB THD at the input
frequency of 100kHz over temperature.
The internal clock is trimmed for 1.4µs conversion time.
The clock automatically synchronizes to each sample
command, eliminating problems with asynchronous clock
noise found in competitive devices. A separate conversion
start input and a data-ready signal (BUSY) ease connec-
tions to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors.

TI I G CHARACTERISTICS
The
q
indicates specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range; all other limits and typicals T
A
= 25°C.
Note 1:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to ground with DGND and
AGND wired together (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3:
When the analog input voltage is taken below V
SS
(ground for
unipolar mode) or above V
DD
, it will be clamped by internal diodes. This
product can handle input currents greater than 80mA below V
SS
(ground
for unipolar mode) or above V
DD
without latch-up.
Note 4:
When these pin voltages are taken below V
SS
(ground for unipolar
mode), they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
input currents greater than 60mA below V
SS
(ground for unipolar mode)
without latch-up. These pins are not clamped to V
DD
.

(Note 5)
Note 7:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve. The
deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 8:
Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 1/2LSB when
the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111.
Note 9:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 10:
The AC test is for bipolar mode. The signal-to-noise plus
distortion ratio is about 1dB lower for unipolar mode, so the typical
S/(N + D) at 100kHz in unipolar mode is 71dB.
Note 11:
Recommended operating conditions.
Note 12:
A
IN
must not exceed V
DD
or fall below V
SS
by more than 50mV for
specified accuracy. Therefore the minimum supply voltage for the unipolar
mode is 4.95V. The minimum for the bipolar mode is 4.75V, – 2.45V.
Note 13:
The falling CONVST edge starts a conversion. If CONVST returns
high at a bit decision point during the conversion it can create small errors.
For best performance ensure that CONVST returns high either within 120ns
after conversion start (i.e., before the first bit decision) or after BUSY rises
(i.e., after the last bit test). See mode 1a and 1b (Figures 12 and 13) timing
diagrams.
