ADC122S706
Dual 12-Bit, 500 kSPS to 1 MSPS, Simultaneous Sampling
A/D Converter
General Description
Features
The ADC122S706 is a dual 12-bit, 500 kSPS to 1 MSPS si-
multaneous sampling Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter. The
analog inputs on both channels are sampled simultaneously
to preserve their relative phase information to each other. The
converter is based on a successive-approximation register
architecture where the differential nature of the analog inputs
is maintained from the internal track-and-hold circuits
throughout the A/D converter to provide excellent common-
mode signal rejection. The ADC122S706 features an external
reference that can be varied from 1.0V to VA.

SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™/DSP compatible Serial
Interface
The ADC122S706 offers dual high-speed serial data outputs
that are binary 2's complement and are compatible with sev-
eral standards, such as SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and
many common DSP serial interfaces. Channel A's conversion
result is outputted on DOUTA while Channel B's conversion re-
sult is outputted on DOUTB. This feature makes the AD-
C122S706 an excellent replacement for systems using two
distinct ADCs in a simultaneous sampling application. The
serial clock (SCLK) and chip select bar (CS) are shared by
both channels. For lower power consumption, a single serial
data output mode is externally selectable.

The ADC122S706 may be operated with independent analog
(VA) and digital (VD) supplies. VA can range from 4.5V to 5.5V
and VD can range from 2.7V to VA. With the ADC122S706
operating with a VA of 5V and a VD of 3V, the power con-
sumption at 1 MSPS is typically 25 mW. Operating in power-
down mode, the power consumption of the ADC122S706
decreases to 3 µW. The differential input, low power con-
sumption, and small size make the ADC122S706 ideal for
direct connection to sensors in motor control applications.
