ADS-CCD1201

The functionally complete, easy-to-use ADS-CCD1201 is a 12-bit, 1.2MHz Sampling A/D Converter whose performance and production testing have been optimized for use in electronic imaging applications, particularly those employing charge coupled devices (CCD's) as their photodetectors. The ADS-CCD1201 delivers the lowest noise (400Vrms) and the best differential nonlinearity error (±0.35LSB max.) of any commercially available 12-bit A/D in its speed class. ADS-CCD1201 can respond to full scale input steps (from empty to full well) with less than a single count of error, and its input is immune to overvoltages that may occur due to blooming.

Packaged in an industry-standard, 24-pin, ceramic DDIP, the ADS-CCD1201 requires ±15V (or ±12V) and +5V supplies and typically consumes 1.7 (1.4) Watts. The device is 100% production tested for all critical performance parameters and is fully specified over both the 0 to +70°C and 55 to +125°C operating temperature ranges.

For those applications using correlated double sampling, the ADS-CCD1201 can be supplied without its internal sample hold amplifier. DATEL will also entertain discussions about including the CDS circuit internal to the ADS-CCD1201. Please contact us for more details.
