National Semiconductor ADC121S051 12‑Bit A/D Converter Datasheet

The ADC121S051 is a low-power, single channel CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with a high-speed serial interface. It has a sample rate range of 200 ksps to 500 ksps. The converter is based on a successive-approximation register architecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit. The output serial data is straight binary and is compatible with several standards, such as SPI™, QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and many common DSP serial interfaces. The ADC121S051 operates with a single supply that can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption using a +3.6V or +5.25V supply is 1.7 mW and 8.7 mW, respectively. The power-down feature reduces the power consumption to as low as 2.6 µW using a +5.25V supply. The ADC121S051 is packaged in 6-lead LLP and SOT-23 packages. Operation over the industrial temperature range of −40˚C to +85˚C is guaranteed.
