MSC1213Y3PAGRG4

The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 is a 12-bit precision sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module with integrated amplifier and memory controller, manufactured by the GE Intelligent Platforms. This ADC module is designed for maximum dynamic range and resolution in analog signal conversion and is suitable for demanding embedded applications, such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial test and measurement. The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 features a tri-level output signal, wide input range, and high sampling rate and resolution.

This ADC module is designed to support a wide range of file formats including JPEG, TIFF, MPEG, and RAW, as well as provide a high quality analog input signal. It features a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 97 dB, THD of 0.005%, and a sampling rate of 10-32 MHz. The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 also includes a hardware memory controller for efficient data transfer and storage. The ADE-80A firmware can also take advantage of the integrated amplifier and memory controller.

The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 has a wide range of applications. It can be used for audio and video streaming, medical imaging, automotive audio systems, and industrial test and measurement. It is also suitable for applications such as radio frequency (RF) signal monitoring, communications and surveillance, and power measurement and control. Additionally, the MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 can be used for metrology and environmental monitoring, as well as power line and motor control.

The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 is designed to use a two-level sampling method. Two comparators, the A/D and an F/V-sigma delta, compare the input signal with two reference voltages (Vref and Vref-1) to measure the difference. The output of the F/V sigma delta is then compared to the A/D output and its value is used to determine the digitized 10-bit output. The analog sampled signal is also passed to a low-pass filter and the ADC output is then further processed depending on the desired application.

To improve accuracy and reduce noise, the MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 utilizes a variety of techniques and features. A differential gain circuit allows the gain of the amplifier section to be adjusted, while a programmable offset circuit can be configured to compensate for the difference between the analog input and the reference voltage. Additionally, an internal reference-voltage generator produces both a stable and low-noise source for the converter module. A set of offset and gain adjustments can be configured to improve the overall performance.

The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 has a wide range of integrated protective features, such as a short-circuit detection circuit, temperature-derating circuit, and safety-certified oscillator. It also includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection mechanism and protection against overvoltage and transient conditions. These features help ensure reliable operation in harsh and potentially damaging environments.

The MSC1213Y3PAGRG4 is a powerful and sophisticated ADC module that offers exceptional performance in demanding applications. Its features make it well-suited for high-precision and high-speed data acquisition, power line and motor control, metrology, environmental monitoring, and other industrial test and measurement applications. In addition, its integrated protective features ensure reliable operation and a long life span.
