T he AD779 is a complete, multipurpose 14-bit monolithic
analog-to-digital converter, consisting of a sample-hold amplifier
(SHA), a microprocessor compatible bus interface, a voltage
reference and clock generation circuitry.
l. COMPLET E INT EGRAT ION: T he AD779 minimizes
external component requirements by combining a high speed
sample-hold amplifier (SHA), ADC, 5 V reference, clock
and digital interface on a single chip. T his provides a fully
specified sampling A/D function unattainable with discrete
designs.
T he AD779 is specified for ac (or “dynamic”) parameters such
as S/N+D ratio, T HD and IMD which are important in signal
processing applications. In addition, the AD779K, B and T
grades are fully specified for dc parameters which are important
in measurement applications.
2. SPECIFICAT IONS: T he AD779K, B and T grades provide
fully specified and tested ac and dc parameters. T he AD779J,
A and S grades are specified and tested for ac parameters; dc
accuracy specifications are shown as typicals. DC specifica-
tions (such as INL, gain and offset) are important in control
and measurement applications. AC specifications (such as
S/N+D ratio, T HD and IMD) are of value in signal process-
ing applications.
T he 14 data bits are accessed by a 16-bit bus in a single read
operation. Data format is straight binary for unipolar mode and
twos complement binary for bipolar mode. T he input has a full-
scale range of 10 V with a full power bandwidth of 1 MHz and a
full linear bandwidth of 500 kHz. High input impedance (10 MΩ)
allows direct connection to unbuffered sources without signal
degradation.
3. EASE OF USE: T he pinout is designed for easy board lay-
out, and the single cycle read output provides compatibility
with 16-bit buses. Factory trimming eliminates the need for
calibration modes or external trimming to achieve rated
performance.
T his product is fabricated on Analog Devices’ BiMOS process,
combining low power CMOS logic with high precision, low
noise bipolar circuits; laser-trimmed thin-film resistors provide
high accuracy. T he converter utilizes a recursive subranging
algorithm which includes error correction and flash converter
circuitry to achieve high speed and resolution.
4. RELIABILIT Y: T he AD779 utilizes Analog Devices’
monolithic BiMOS technology. T his ensures long term
reliability compared to multichip and hybrid designs.
T he AD779 operates from +5 V and ±12 V supplies and
dissipates 560 mW (typ). T wenty-eight-pin plastic DIP and
ceramic DIP packages are available.
5. T he AD779 is available in versions compliant with MIL-
ST D-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products
Databook or current AD779/883B data sheet for detailed
specifications.
