ADC1173CIMTCX/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADC1173CIMTCX/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended input impedance for the ADC1173?
  The recommended input impedance for the ADC1173 is 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This ensures proper signal attenuation and prevents signal reflections.
• How do I optimize the ADC1173's analog input range for my specific application?
  To optimize the analog input range, adjust the VREF pin to set the full-scale input range. You can also use the internal VREF or an external reference voltage. Consult the datasheet for specific VREF settings.
• What is the maximum sampling rate I can achieve with the ADC1173?
  The ADC1173 can achieve a maximum sampling rate of 1.5 MSPS (mega-samples per second) in normal mode and 3 MSPS in turbo mode.
• How do I handle the ADC1173's digital output data format?
  The ADC1173 outputs 12-bit digital data in a straight binary format. You can use the datasheet's timing diagrams to understand the output data format and synchronize with your microcontroller or FPGA.
• What is the power consumption of the ADC1173, and how can I reduce it?
  The ADC1173's power consumption is typically 35 mW at 1.5 MSPS. To reduce power consumption, use the power-down mode, reduce the sampling rate, or use the auto-power-down feature.
