GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7792/AD7793 are low power, low noise, complete
analog front ends for high precision measurement applications.
The AD7792/AD7793 contain a low noise 16-/24-bit ∑-Δ ADC
with three differential analog inputs. The on-chip, low noise
instrumentation amplifier means that signals of small ampli-
tude can be interfaced directly to the ADC. With a gain
setting of 64, the rms noise is 40 nV when the update rate
equals 4.17 Hz.
The devices contain a precision low noise, low drift internal
band gap reference and can accept an external differential
reference. Other on-chip features include programmable
excitation current sources, burnout currents, and a bias voltage
generator. The bias voltage generator sets the common-mode
voltage of a channel to AV
DD
/2.
The devices can be operated with either the internal clock or an
external clock. The output data rate from the parts is software-
programmable and can be varied from 4.17 Hz to 470 Hz.
The parts operate with a power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
They consume a current of 400 μA typical and are housed in a
16-lead TSSOP package.
