ADC12DJ5200-SP: Concern with electrically floating Lid

Part Number: ADC12DJ5200-SP

Is the electrically floating lid a concern in space? Floating metal in space can accumulate charge but having something like conformal coat can bleed the charge. I'm wondering if we need to address this in the design or if somehow the lid adhesive can bleed the charge.

  • Hi Daniel,

    It is typically expected the customer will ground the top lid of the ADC device as these circuits are usually housed in a metal enclosure. The metal enclosure is designed to touch the top of the device and act as a ground.

    Regards,
