AD7691: 18-Bit, 250 kSPS PulSAR® A/D Converter in MSOP/QFN

06.08.2006 08:30 - Source: Analog Devices

The AD7690/AD7691 is a 18-bit, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power supply, V_DD. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC and a versatile serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, it samples the voltage difference between IN+ and IN pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite phase between 0 V and REF. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set up to the supply voltage. Its power scales linearly with throughput.

The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy chain several ADCs on a single, 3-wire bus and provides an optional BUSY indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate supply VIO.

The AD7690/AD7691 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN (LFCSP) with operation specified from 40°C to +85°C.
