The ADS424x/422x belong to TI's ultralow-power family of dual-channel 12-bit and 14-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). At every rising edge of the input clock, the analog input signal of each channel is simultaneously sampled. The sampled signal in each channel is converted by a pipeline of low-resolution stages. In each stage, the sampled/held signal is converted by a high-speed, low-resolution, flash sub-ADC. The difference between the stage input and the quantized equivalent is gained and propagates to the next stage. At every clock, each succeeding stage resolves the sampled input with greater accuracy. The digital outputs from all stages are combined in a digital correction logic block and digitally processed to create the final code after a data latency of 16 clock cycles. The digital output is available as either DDR LVDS or parallel CMOS and coded in either straight offset binary or binary twos complement format. The dynamic offset of the first stage sub-ADC limits the maximum analog input frequency to approximately 400 MHz (with 2-V_PP amplitude) or approximately 600 MHz (with 1 V_PP amplitude).
