GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DATEL's ADS-118 and ADS-118A are 12-bit, 5MHz, sampling
A/D converters packaged in space-saving 24-pin DDIP’s. The
ADS-118 offers an input range of ±1V and has three-state
outputs. The ADS-118A has an input range of ±1.25V and
features direct adjustment of offset error.
These functionally complete low-power devices (1.8 Watts)
contain an internal fast-settling sample/hold amplifier, a 12-bit
subranging A/D converter, a precise voltage reference, timing/
control logic, and error-correction circuitry. All timing and
control logic operates from the rising edge of a single start
convert pulse. Digital input and output levels are TTL. Models
are available for use in either commercial (0 to +70°C) or
military (–55 to +125°C) operating temperature ranges.
Applications include radar, transient signal analysis, process
control, medical/graphic imaging, and FFT spectrum analysis.

the adjustment circuitry shown in Figures 2a and 2b.
When using this circuitry, or any similar offset and gain-
calibration hardware, make adjustments following warmup.
To avoid interaction, always adjust offset before gain.
3. To enable the three-state outputs, connect ENABLE
(pin 17) to a logic "0" (low). To disable, connect pin 17 to
logic "1" (high). The three-state outputs are permanently
enabled in the ADS-118A.
4. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in
progress (EOC = logic "1") will initiate a new and inaccu-
rate conversion cycle.

Actual Input Amplitude
All power supplies should be on before applying a start convert pulse. All
supplies and the clock (star t convert pulses) must be present during warmup
periods. The device must be continuously conver ting during this time.
Input voltage ranges for ADS-118A is ±1.25V
A 100ns wide star t convert pulse is used for all production testing. For
applications requiring less than an 5MHz sampling rate, wider start conver t
pulses can be used.
NOTE: The device only requires the rising edge of a start convert pulse to
operate.

TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specified performance from the ADS-118
requires careful attention to pc-card layout and power
supply decoupling. The device’s analog and digital ground
systems are connected to each other internally. For optimal
performance, tie all ground pins (14, 18, and 23) directly to
a large analog ground plane beneath the package.
Bypass all power supplies 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.
2. The ADS-118 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

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Any offset and/or gain calibration procedures should not be
implemented until devices are fully warmed up. To avoid
interaction, offset must be adjusted before gain. The ranges
of adjustment for the circuits in Figures 2a and 2b are guaran-
teed to compensate for the ADS-118's initial accuracy errors
and may not be able to compensate for additional system
errors.
A/D converters are calibrated by positioning their digital
outputs exactly on the transition point between two adjacent
digital output codes. This can be accomplished by connecting
LED’s to the digital outputs and adjusting until certain LED's
"flicker" equally between on and off. Other approaches
employ digital comparators or microcontrollers to detect when
the outputs change from one code to the next.
For the ADS-118, offset adjusting is normally accomplished at
the point where the MSB is a 1 and all other output bits are 0’s
and the LSB just changes from a 0 to a 1. This digital output
transition ideally occurs when the applied analog input is
+½LSB (+244µV for ADS-118; +305µV for ADS-118A).
Gain adjusting is accomplished when all bits are 1’s and the
LSB just changes from a 1 to a 0. This transition ideally
occurs when the analog input is at +full scale minus 1½ LSB's
(+0.99927V for ADS-118; +1.249085V for ADS-118A).
Zero/Offset Adjust Procedure
1. Apply a train of pulses to the START CONVERT input
(pin 16) so the converter is continuously converting.
2. Apply +244µV (ADS-118) or +305µV (ADS-118A) to the

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.
In more severe ambient conditions, the package/junction
temperature of a given device can be reduced dramatically
(typically 35%) by using one of DATEL's HS Series heat sinks.
See Ordering Information for the assigned part number. See
page 1-183 of the DATEL Data Acquisition Components
Catalog for more information on the HS Series. Request
DATEL Application Note AN8, "Heat Sinks for DIP Data
Converters",
or contact DATEL directly, for additional information.
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.
