GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7938-6 is a 12-bit, high speed, low power, successive
approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
part operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and
features throughput rates up to 625 kSPS. The part contains a
low noise, wide bandwidth, differential track-and-hold
amplifier that can handle input frequencies up to 50 MHz.
The AD7938-6 features eight analog input channels with a
channel sequencer that allows a preprogrammed selection of
channels to be converted sequentially. The part can operate
with either single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo differential
analog inputs.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using standard control inputs that allow easy interfacing with
microprocessors and DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the
falling edge of CONVST and the conversion is initiated at
this point.
The AD7938-6 has an accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference that
can be used as the reference source for the analog-to-digital
conversion. Alternatively, this pin can be overdriven to provide
an external reference.
The AD7938-6 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. The part also
features flexible power management options. An on-chip
control register allows the user to set up different operating
conditions, including analog input range and configuration,
output coding, power management, and channel sequencing.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
High throughput with low power consumption.
2.
Eight analog inputs with a channel sequencer.
3.
Accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference.
4.
Single-ended, pseudo differential, or fully differential
analog inputs that are software selectable.
5.
Single-supply operation with VDRIVE function. The VDRIVE
function allows the parallel interface to connect directly to
3 V or 5 V processor systems independent of VDD.
6.
No pipeline delay.
7.
Accurate control of the sampling instant via a CONVST
input and once-off conversion control.
