ADS8556EVM

Evaluation Module, 16Bit, 630KSPS, 6Channel, Analog to Digital Converter

The is an evaluation board for the ADS8556 high precision analog to digital converter. The ADS8556 is a high speed, low power, six channel 16bit A/D converter that operates from independent ±HVDD ±5V to ±15V, 5V AVdd and DVdd supplies. The digital output is delivered through a built in buffer circuit that can be powered from DVdd or separate 2.7V to 5.25V BVdd sources. This allows for flexibility when designing within mixed voltage environments. The six sample and hold circuits are divided into three pairs A, B and C. Each pair of channels has a hold signal CONVST_A, CONVST_B, and CONVST_C which, when strobed together, allows simultaneous sampling on all six analog inputs. The part accepts bipolar analog input voltages in the range of up to ±12V. Conversion time for the ADS8556 is 1.19µs maximum when operated in hardware mode. Throughput is up to 670kSPS when operated in the parallel interface mode or 470kSPS when operated in serial interface mode.
