AD9012

a High Speed 8-Bit TTL A/D Converter AD9012 FEATURES 100 MSPS ENCODE Rate Very Low Input Capacitance—16 pF Low Power—1 W TTL Compatible Outputs MIL-STD-883 Compliant Versions Available APPLICATIONS Radar Guidance Digital Oscilloscopes/ATE Equipment Laser/Radar Warning Receivers Digital Radio Electronic Warfare (ECM, ECCM, ESM) Communication/Signal Intelligence GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD9012 is an 8-bit, ultrahigh speed, analog-to-digital converter. The AD9012 is fabricated in an advanced bipolar process that allows operation at sampling rates up to 100 megasamples/second. Functionally, the AD9012 is comprised of 256 parallel comparator stages whose outputs are decoded to drive the TTL compatible output latches. The exceptionally wide large-signal analog input bandwidth of 160 MHz is due to an innovative comparator design and very close attention to device layout considerations. The wide input bandwidth of the AD9012 allows very accurate acquisition of high speed pulse inputs wit...
