Description
The TSA0801 is an 8-bit, 40MHz sampling frequency Analog to Digital converter using a deep submicron CMOS technology combining high performances and very low power consumption. The TSA0801 is based on a pipeline structure and digital error correction to provide excellent static linearity and go beyond 7.9 effective bits at Fs=40Msps, and Fin=10MHz. A voltage reference is integrated in the circuit to simplify the design and minimize external components. It is nevertheless possible to use the circuit with an external reference. Differential or single-ended analog inputs can be applied to the converter. A tri-state capability is available on the outputs. The output data can be coded into two different formats. A Data Ready signal is raised as the data is valid on the output and can be used for synchronization purposes. The TSA0801 is available in commercial (0 to +70°C) and extended (-40 to +85°C) temperature range, in a small 48 pins TQFP package.
