3 Description
The ADS79xx is a 12-, 10-, 8-bit pin compatible
multichannel analog-to-digital converter family. The
device comparison table shows all twelve devices
from this product family.
The devices include a capacitor based SAR A/D
converter with inherent sample and hold.
The devices accept a wide analog supply range from
2.7 V to 5.25 V. Very low power consumption makes
these devices suitable for battery-powered and
isolated power-supply applications.
A wide 1.7-V to 5.25-V I/O supply range facilitates a
glueless interface with the most commonly used
digital hosts. The serial interface is controlled by CS
and SCLK for easy connection with microprocessors
and DSP.
The input signal is sampled with the falling edge of
CS. It uses SCLK for conversion, serial data output,
and reading serial data in. The devices allow auto
sequencing of preselected channels or manual
selection of a channel for the next conversion cycle.
There are two software selectable input ranges (0 V
to VREF and 0 V to 2 × VREF), individually configurable
GPIOs (four in case of the TSSOP and one on the
VQFN package devices), and two programmable
alarm thresholds per channel. These features make
the devices suitable for most data acquisition
applications.
The devices offer an attractive power-down feature.
This is extremely useful for power saving when the
device is operated at lower conversion speeds.
The 16-, 12-channel devices from this family are
available in a 38-pin TSSOP and 32 pin VQFN
package and the 4/8-channel devices are available in
a 30-pin TSSOP and 24 pin VQFN packages.
