GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADC-207 is the industry’s first 7-bit flash converter using an advanced high-speed VLSI 1.2 micron CMOS process. This process offers some very distinctive advantages over other processes, making the ADC-207 unique. The smaller geometrics of the process achieve high speed, better linearity and superior temperature performance.

Since the ADC-207 is a CMOS device, it also has very low power consumption (250mW). The device draws power from a single +5V supply and is conservatively rated for 20MHz operation. The ADC-207 allows using sampling apertures as small as 12ns, making it more closely approach an ideal sampler. The small sampling apertures also let the device operate at greater than 20MHz.
