GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The nAD1240-18T is a compact, high-speed, low power 12-bit monolithic analog-to-
digital converter, implemented in a 0.18µm single poly CMOS process with MiM
capacitors and thick oxide transistor option. It has 12-bit resolution with 11 effective
bits at low input frequencies, and close to 12 bit dynamic range for video frequency
signals. The converter includes a high bandwidth track and hold. Using internal
references, the full scale range is ±1V. The full scale range can be set between
±0.75V and ±1.0V using external references. It operates from a single 3.3V supply,
while I/O is biased with 1.8V. Its low distortion and high dynamic range offers the
performance needed for demanding imaging, multimedia, telecommunications and
instrumentation applications. The bias current level for the ADC is automatically
adjusted based on the clock input frequency. Hence, the power dissipation of the
device is continuously minimised for the current operation frequency.
