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

APPLICATIONS
Theuniquedifferentialinputsample-and-holdcanacquire
single-ended or differential input signals up to its 40MHz
bandwidth. The 60dB common mode rejection allows
users to eliminate ground loops and common mode noise
by measuring signals differentially from the source.

is no pipeline delay in the conversion results. A separate
convert start input and converter status signal (BUSY)
ease connections to FIFOs, DSPs and microprocessors. A
digital output driver power supply pin allows direct con-
nection to 3V logic.
