THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
All DATEL sampling A/D converters are fully characterized and
specifi ed over operating temperature (case) ranges of 0 to +70°C
and –55 to +125°C. All room-temperature (TA = +25°C) production
testing is performed without the use of heat sinks or forced-air
cooling. Thermal impedance fi gures for each device are listed in
their respective specifi cation tables. These devices do not normally
require heat sinks, however, standard precautionary design
and layout procedures should be used to ensure devices do not
overheat. The ground and power planes beneath the package, as
well as all pcb signal runs to and from the device, should be as
heavy as possible to help conduct heat away from the package.
Electrically-insulating, thermally-conductive "pads" may be installed
underneath the package. Devices should be soldered to boards
rather than "socketed", and of course, minimal air fl ow over the
surface can greatly help reduce the package temperature.

Footnotes:
➀ All power supplies must be on before applying a start convert pulse. All
supplies and the clock (START CONVERT) must be present during warm-up
periods. The device must be continuously converting during this time.
➁ Contact DATEL for other input voltage ranges.
➂ A 1MHz clock with a 500nsec positive pulse width (50% duty cycle) is used
for all production testing. Any duty cycle may be used as long as a minimum
positive pulse width of 20nsec is maintained. For applications requiring lower
sampling rates, clock frequencies less than 1MHz may be used.
➄ This is the time required before the A/D output data is valid once the analog
input is back within the specifi ed range.
TECHNICAL NOTES
1. Obtaining fully specifi ed performance from the ADS-937 requires
careful attention to pc-card layout and power supply decoupling. The
device's ground pins are not connected to each other internally. For
optimal performance, tie all ground pins (2, 12 and 13) directly to a
large analog ground plane beneath the package. The device's +5V
supply pins are not connected to each other internally and should be
connected to a clean analog +5V supply. Bypass all power sup-
plies and the +5V REFERENCE OUTPUT (pin 5) to ground with 4.7F
tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1F ceramic capacitors. Locate
the bypass capacitors as close to the unit as possible. Tie a 47F
capacitor between COMPENSATION (pin 7) and ground (See fi gure 2.).
2. The ADS-937 achieves its specifi ed accuracies without the need for
external calibration. If required, the device's small initial offset and
gain errors can be reduced to zero using the adjustment circuitry
shown in Figure 2. When using this circuitry, or any similar offset and
gain calibration hardware, make adjustments following warm-up. To
avoid interaction, always adjust offset before gain. Float pins 4 and 6
if not using offset and gain adjust circuits.
3. Applying a start convert pulse while a conversion is in progress (EOC
= logic "1") will initiate a new and inaccurate conversion cycle. Data
for the interrupted and subsequent conversions will be invalid.
