GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Th
e AD73211 is a 2-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive
approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS (industrial
CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage
silicon with submicron CMOS and complementary bipolar
technologies. It enables the development of a wide range of high
performance analog ICs capable of 33 V operation in a footprint
that no previous generation of high voltage parts could achieve.
Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS
components can accept bipolar input signals while providing
increased performance, dramatically reduced power consumption,
and reduced package size.
Th
e AD7321 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The
AD7321 has four software-selectable input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. Each analog input channel is indepen-
dently programmed to one of the four input ranges. The analog
input channels on t
he AD7321 are programmed to be single-ended,
true differential, or pseudo differential.
The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The
AD7321 also
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is applied
to the REFIN/OUT pin, the
AD7321 can accept a true bipolar
±12 V analog input. A minimum of ±12 V VDD and VSS supplies
are required for the ±12 V input range. The ADC has a high speed
serial interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 500 kSPS.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The
AD7321 can accept true bipolar analog input signals,
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V unipolar signals.
2. The two analog inputs are configured as two single-ended
inputs, one true differential input pair, or one pseudo
differential input.
3. A 500 kSPS serial interface. SPI-/QSPI-/DSP-/
MICROWIRE-compatible interface.
4. Low power, 18 mW, at a maximum throughput rate of
500 kSPS.
5. Channel sequencer.
