GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD974 is a four-channel, data acquisition system with a
serial interface. The part contains an input multiplexer, a high-
speed 16-bit sampling ADC and a +2.5 V reference. All of this
operates from a single +5 V power supply that also has a power-
down mode. The part will accommodate 0 V to +4 V, 0 V to
+5 V or ±10 V analog input ranges.
The interface is designed for an efficient transfer of data while
requiring a low number of interconnects.
The AD974 is comprehensively tested for ac parameters such as
SNR and THD, as well as the more traditional parameters of
offset, gain and linearity.
The AD974 is fabricated on Analog Devices’ BiCMOS process,
which has high performance bipolar devices along with CMOS
transistors.
The AD974 is available in 28-lead DIP, SOIC and SSOP
packages.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD974 is a complete data acquisition system combining
a four-channel multiplexer, a 16-bit sampling ADC and a
+2.5 V reference on a single chip.
2. The part operates from a single +5 V supply and also has a
power-down feature.
3. Interfacing to the AD974 is simple with a low number of
interconnect signals.
4. The AD974 is comprehensively specified for ac parameters
such as SNR and THD, as well as dc parameters such as
linearity and offset and gain errors.
