Data acquisition, along with its many subfields, accounts for a large portion of our modern technological world. Analog to digital converters (ADC) are one of the most important tools for data acquisition and the technology that facilitates it. In this article, we will explore an ADC from Texas Instruments – the LTC2181CUP#TRPBF application field and working principle.

The LTC2181 is a 10-bit, low-power, high-speed CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that can operate from 200k samples/s to 4.2M samples/s. The converter includes an on-chip voltage reference and operates from a single +5V supply. It features an internal serial result retention latch and power-down state. The device offers a 8-bit-per-clock serial parallel data output format compatible with most microprocessors.

In terms of application fields, the LTC2181 can be used in many areas. It can be used in medical imaging equipment, machine vision systems, telecom base stations, defense and military systems, and video encryption systems. Its features make it especially suitable for imaging and communications applications.

In terms of working principle, the LTC2181 operates in a very similar way to other ADCs. It has several external terminals, including clock/serial data interface pins, power input pins, digital output pins, and analog signals that it converts into digital data. The external clock determines the sample rate of the ADC. The incoming analog signal is sent to an internal voltage reference, which accesses and processes the signal. The reference then converts the incoming signal into a series of precise digital data points. This digital data is then stored in an internal register and can be accessed via the external digital output pins.

The actual conversion process is done in four stages that are performed sequentially. In the hierarchy of the four stages, the first stage is the pre-amplifier. The preamplifier prepares the incoming analog signals for further processing. After pre-amplification, the signals are then quantized into 10-bits for the main stage of the process. This main stage is called the Sample-and-Hold (S&H) stage where a constant sample value is taken for processing. This constant sample value is then processed in the internal voltage reference which sends the data points to the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Finally, the DAC outputs the digital data points to the register where they can be accessed via the external digital output pins.

The LTC2181 is an important ADC due to its large application field and impressive working principle. Its large sample rates and on-chip voltage reference make it well-suited for a variety of uses. Additionally, its low power consumption makes it a very cost-effective solution for any data acquisition project. Data acquisition and ADC technology are essential components of our modern world, and the LTC2181 helps make it all possible.
