AS1520/AS1521
Data Sheet - Electrical Characteristics
1. Tested at VDD1 = VDD2 = VDD3 = +3V; COM = GND; bit RANGE (page 15) = 1, single-ended input mode.
2. Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain error
and offset error have been nulled.
3. Offset nulled.
4. Ground on channel; sinewave applied to all off channels.
5. Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty
cycle.
6. The absolute voltage range for the analog inputs (CH0:CH7, and COM) is from GND to VDD1.
7. External load should not change during conversion for specified accuracy. Guaranteed specification of 2mV/mA
is a result of production test limitations.
8. AS1520/AS1521 performance is limited by the device noise floor, typically 300µVp-p.
9. Electrical characteristics are guaranteed from VDD1(MIN) = VDD2(MIN) = VDD3(MIN) to VDD1(MAX) = VDD2(MAX) =
VDD3(MAX). For operations beyond this range, see Typical Operating Characteristics on page 11. For guaranteed
specifications beyond the limits, contact austriamicrosystems, AG.
10. AIN = mid-scale; bit RANGE (page 15) = 1; tested with 20pF on DOUT, 20pF on SSTRB, and fSCLK = 4.8MHz
@ GND to VDD2.
11. SCLK = DIN = GND, CSN = VDD2.
