NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR - ADC124S021 4 Channel 50 ksps to 200 ksps 12-Bit A/D Converter handbook

The ADC124S021 is a low-power, four-channel CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with a high-speed serial interface. It is fully specified over a sample rate range of 50 ksps to 200 ksps and can accept up to four input signals. The output serial data is straight binary and compatible with several standards such as SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and many common DSP serial interfaces. The ADC124S021 operates with a single supply ranging from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption is 2.2 mW (+3V supply) or 7.9 mW (+5V supply), and the power-down feature reduces power consumption to 0.14 µW (+3V supply) or 0.32 µW (+5V supply). The ADC124S021 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP package and operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
