ADC0820
8-Bit High Speed µP Compatible A/D Converter with
Track/Hold Function
General Description
Features
n Built-in track-and-hold function
n No missing codes
By using
a half-flash conversion technique, the 8-bit
ADC0820 CMOS A/D offers a 1.5 µs conversion time and
dissipates only 75 mW of power. The half-flash technique
consists of 32 comparators, a most significant 4-bit ADC and
a least significant 4-bit ADC.
n No external clocking
n Single supply — 5 VDC
n Easy interface to all microprocessors, or operates
stand-alone
n Latched TRI-STATE® output
n Logic inputs and outputs meet both MOS and T2L
voltage level specifications
The input to the ADC0820 is tracked and held by the input
sampling circuitry eliminating the need for an external
sample-and-hold for signals moving at less than 100 mV/µs.
For ease of interface to microprocessors, the ADC0820 has
been designed to appear as a memory location or I/O port
without the need for external interfacing logic.
n Operates ratiometrically or with any reference value
equal to or less than VCC
n 0V to 5V analog input voltage range with single 5V
supply
