APPLICATION INFORMATION
latency of 16.5 clock cycles, after which the output data
is available as a 14-bit parallel word, coded in either
straight offset binary or binary two’s complement
format.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADS5542 is a low-power, 14-bit, 80MSPS, CMOS,
switched capacitor, pipeline ADC that operates from a
single 3.3V supply. The conversion process is initiated
by a falling edge of the external input clock. Once the
signal is captured by the input S&H, the input sample is
sequentially converted by a series of small resolution
stages, with the outputs combined in a digital correction
logic block. Both the rising and the falling clock edges
are used to propagate the sample through the pipeline
every half clock cycle. This process results in a data
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The analog input for the ADS5542 consists of a
differential sample-and-hold architecture implemented
using a switched capacitor technique, shown in
Figure 37.
