SNAA354A May 2021 – June 2022 ADC128S102QML-SP
The ADC128S102QML-SP can result in specific sparkle code values depending on the output code transition, but this result is intermittent and is in the order of parts per billion. Across multiple configurations and the device’s temperature range the sparkle code maintained the infrequent rate of occurrence. To address a possible sparkle code, the system’s requirements and limitations must be considered to select the best fitting method. There are multiple mitigation methods that can be implemented in firmware as well as hardware, including a simple best of three approach at the ADC output. The ADC128S102QML-SP has over a decade of flight history and great success the aviation and space industry; it is the most widely used ADC in the industry.
