ADC10321
10-Bit, 20MSPS, 98mW A/D Converter with Internal
Sample and Hold
General Description
Features
n Internal Sample-and-Hold
n Single +5V Operation
n Low Power Standby Mode
n Guaranteed No Missing Codes
n Tri-State Outputs
The ADC10321 is a low power, high performance CMOS
analog-to-digital converter that digitizes signals to 10 bits
resolution at sampling rates up to 25Msps while consuming
a typical 98mW from a single 5V supply. Reference force
and sense pins allow the user to connect an external refer-
ence buffer amplifier to ensure optimal accuracy. No missing
codes is guaranteed over the full operating temperature
range. The unique two stage architecture achieves 9.2 Effec-
tive Bits with a 10MHz input signal and a 20MHz clock fre-
quency. Output formatting is straight binary coding.

10 Bits
To ease interfacing to 3V systems, the digital I/O power pins
of the ADC10321 can be tied to a 3V power source, making
the outputs 3V compatible. When not converting, power con-
sumption can be reduced by pulling the PD (Power Down)
pin high, placing the converter into a low power standby
state, where it typically consumes less than 4mW. The
ADC10321’s speed, resolution and single supply operation
makes it well suited for a variety of applications in video, im-
aging, communications, multimedia and high speed data ac-
quisition. Low power, single supply operation ideally suit the
ADC10321 for high speed portable applications, and its
speed and resolution are ideal for charge coupled device
(CCD) input systems.
