ADAS1256

The ADAS1256 is a 256-channel, charge-to-digital analog-front end (AFE) mounted on high density flex. It can be directly mounted on a digital X-ray panel. It is suitable for a large variety of digital X-ray and photodiode array applications and it works with both hole sensing and electron sensing panels. ADAS1256 allows up to 22us line time, so it can be used in dynamic imaging panels in addition to still image panels. It contains 256 low power, low noise, low input current integrators with correlated double sampling stages; along with integrated true 16 bit high speed ADCs.

All converted channel results are output on a single LVDS self-clocked serial interface that significantly reduces external hardware. An SPI-compatible serial interface allows configuration of the AFE using SDI input. The SDO output allows the user to daisy chain several AFEs on a single 3-wire bus.

An integrated AFE timing sequencer controls the sampling activity of the analog front end (AFE). The sequencer is programmed via the SPI port and is timed by a single clock, ACLK.
