The AD9032 is the world's fastest 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that includes on-board T/H, voltage references, and timing circuits. The AD9032 uses a subranging converter architecture to achieve sample rates from dc to 25.6 MSPS. Packaged in a single 40-pin hybrid, the AD9032 is pin-compatible with the AD9034, which operates at word rates up to 20 MSPS.

This ECL-compatible ADC requires only +5 V and -5.2 V supplies, an analog input, and a stable ECL clock to obtain the best dynamic performance available in a 12-bit ADC. This kind of performance is achieved with advanced bipolar circuits, custom designed and manufactured by Analog Devices. The latest in monolithic track-and-hold technology ensures accurate sampling of high frequency analog inputs.

Dynamic performance has been optimized to achieve SNR of 64 dB and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 74 dB for analog bandwidths up to 12 MHz. All units are tested for dynamic performance at a sample rate of 25.6 MSPS.

The AD9032 is available in either a 40-pin ceramic DIP or leaded flatpack. The two versions operate over an industrial (-25°C to +85°C) or military (-55°C to +125°C) temperature range.
