The recommended input impedance for the ADC1173 is 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This ensures proper signal attenuation and prevents signal reflections.
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.
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.
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.
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.
