LTC1412 12-Bit, 3Msps, Sampling A/D Converter UFEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Sample Rate: 3Msps The LTC ®1412 is a 12-bit, 3Msps, sampling A/D con- ■ 72dB S/(N + D) and 82dB SFDR at Nyquist verter. This high performance device includes a high ■ ± 0.35LSB INL and ± 0.25LSB DNL (Typ) dynamic range sample-and-hold and a precision refer- ■ Power Dissipation: 150mW ence. Operating from ±5V supplies it draws only 150mW. ■ External or Internal Reference Operation The ±2.5V input range is optimized for low noise and low ■ True Differential Inputs Reject Common Mode Noise distortion. Most high performance op amps also perform ■ 40MHz Full Power Bandwidth Sampling best over this range, allowing direct coupling to the analog ■ ±2.5V Bipolar Input Range inputs and eliminating the need for special translation ■ No Pipeline Delay circuitry. Outstanding AC performance includes 72dB ■ 28-Pin SSOP Package S/(N + D) and 82dB SFDR at the Nyquist input frequency of 1.5MHz.
