3. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in

progress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and inaccurate

conversion cycle. Data for the interrupted and subsequent

conversions will be invalid.

THERMAL REQUIREMENTS

All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and

specified over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to

+70°C and –55 to +125°C. All room-temperature (TA = +25°C)

production testing is performed without the use of heat sinks or

forced-air cooling. Thermal impedance figures for each device

are listed in their respective specification tables.

These devices do not normally require heat sinks, however,

standard precautionary design and layout procedures should be

used to ensure devices do not overheat. The ground and power

planes beneath the package, as well as all pcb signal runs to

and from the device, should be as heavy as possible to help

conduct heat away from the package. Electrically-insulating,

thermally-conductive "pads" may be installed underneath the

package. Devices should be soldered to boards rather than

"socketed", and of course, minimal air flow over the surface can

greatly help reduce the package temperature.

Footnotes:

All power supplies must be on before applying a start convert pulse. All

supplies and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warm-up

periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time.

Contact Murata-PS for other input voltage ranges.

A 1MHz clock with a 500nsec positive pulse width (50% duty cycle) is used

for all production testing. Any duty cycle may be used as long as a minimum

positive pulse width of 20nsec is maintained. For applications requiring lower

sampling rates, clock frequencies less than 1MHz may be used.

This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid once the analog

input is back within the specified range.

TECHNICAL NOTES

1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-937

requires careful attention to pc-card layout and power supply decou-

pling. The device's ground pins are not connected to each other

internally. For optimal performance, tie all ground pins (2, 12 and 13)

directly to a large analog ground plane beneath the package.

The device's +5V supply pins are not connected to each other inter-

nally and should be connected to a clean analog +5V supply.

Bypass all power supplies and the +5V REFERENCE

OUTPUT (pin 5) to ground with 4.7μF tantalum capacitors in

parallel with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors. Locate the bypass

capacitors as close to the unit as possible. Tie a 47μF

capacitor between COMPENSATION (pin 7) and ground

(See figure 2.).

2. The ADS-937 achieves its specified accuracies without the

need for external calibration. If required, the device's small

initial offset and gain errors can be reduced to zero using

the adjustment circuitry shown in Figure 2. When using this

circuitry, or any similar offset and gain calibration hardware,

make adjustments following warm-up. To avoid interaction,

always adjust offset before gain. Float pins 4 and 6 if not

using offset and gain adjust circuits.
