EVALUATION AND DESIGN SUPPORT
distortion [THD] = −110 dBc) at low power. The circuit is ideal
for high performance multiplexed data acquisition systems, such as
portable digital x-ray systems and security scanners, because the
SAR architecture can sample without the latency or pipeline delay
typically incurred with pipeline ADCs. The 6 MSPS sampling rate
allows fast sampling of multiple channels, and the ADC has true
16-bit dc linearity performance and a serial low voltage differential
signaling (LVDS) interface for low pin count and low digital noise.

CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
The circuit in Figure 1 is a 16-bit, 6 MSPS, successive approximation
(SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and differential-todifferential driver combination optimized for low noise (signal-tonoise ratio [SNR] = 88.6 dB) and low distortion (total harmonic
