ADC0820 8-Bit High Speed µP Compatible A/D Converter with Track/Hold Function General Description Features

By using half-flash conversion technique, the 8-bit Built-in track-and-hold function

ADC0820 CMOS A/D offers 1.5 µs conversion time and No missing codes dissipates only m W of power. The half-flash technique No external clocking consists of comparators, most significant 4-bit ADC and Single supply VDC least significant 4-bit ADC.

Easy interface to all microprocessors, or operates

The input to the ADC0820 is tracked and held by the input stand-alone sampling circuitry eliminating the need for an external

Latched TRI-STATE® output

sample-and-hold for signals moving at less than m V/µs.

Logic inputs and outputs meet both MOS and T2L

For ease of interface to microprocessors, the ADC0820 has voltage level specifications been designed to appear as memory location or I/O port

Operates ratiometrically or with any reference value

without the need for external interfacing logic.
