GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7910/AD7920
1
are, respectively, 10-bit and 12-bit, high
speed, low power, successive approximation ADCs. The parts
operate from a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V power supply and feature
throughput rates up to 250 kSPS. The parts contain a low noise,
wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input
frequencies in excess of 13 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using
CS
and the serial clock, allowing the devices to interface
with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on
the falling edge of
CS
and the conversion is initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.
The AD7910/AD7920 use advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates.
The reference for the part is taken internally from V
DD
. This
allows the widest dynamic input range to the ADC. Thus, the
analog input range for the part is 0 to V
DD
. The conversion rate
is determined by the SCLK.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. 10-/12-bit ADCs in SC70 and MSOP packages.
2. Low power consumption.
3. Flexible power/serial clock speed management. The
conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing
the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock
speed increase. This allows the average power consumption
to be reduced when power-down mode is used while not
converting. The part also features a power-down mode to
maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates.
Current consumption is 1 μA maximum and 50 nA typically
when in power-down mode.
4. Reference derived from the power supply.
5. No pipeline delay. The parts feature a standard successive
approximation ADC with accurate control of the sampling
instant via a
CS
input and once-off conversion control.
