GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7091 is a 12-bit successive approximation register
analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) that offers ultralow
power consumption (typically 367 μA at 3 V and 1 MSPS) while
achieving fast throughput rates (1 MSPS with a 50 MHz SCLK).
The AD7091 operates from a single 2.09 V to 5.25 V power
supply. The AD7091 also features an on-chip conversion clock
and a high speed serial interface.
The reference is derived internally from VDD. This design allows
the widest dynamic input range to the ADC; that is, the analog
input range for the AD7091 is from 0 V to VDD
.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Lowest Power 12-Bit SAR ADC Available.
2. High Throughput Rate with Ultralow Power Consumption.
3. Flexible Power/Throughput Rate Management.
Average power scales with the throughput rate. Power-down
mode allows the average power consumption to be reduced
when the device is not performing a conversion.
4. Reference Derived from the Power Supply.
5. Single-Supply Operation.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
CONVST
a
signal and an internal oscillator. The AD7091 has a
serial interface that allows data to be read after the conversion
while achieving a 1 MSPS throughput rate. The AD7091 uses
advanced design and process techniques to achieve very low
power dissipation at high throughput rates.
