Overview
The JM38510/14001BXA, also known as the AD574A, is a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This integrated circuit combines all necessary analog and digital functions on a single chip, utilizing Analog Devices' Bipolar/I2L process. The design incorporates active laser-trimming of thin-film resistors to minimize offset, linearity, and scaling errors. The voltage reference is based on an implanted buried Zener diode, ensuring low noise and low drift. The digital section employs I2L logic for the successive-approximation register, control circuitry, and 3-state output buffers.
