The AD7172-4 is a low noise, low power, multiplexed, Σ-Δ analog-
to-digital converter (ADC) with 4- or 8-channel (fully differential/
single-ended) inputs for low bandwidth signals. The AD7172-4
has a maximum channel scan rate of 6.21 kSPS (161 μs) for fully
settled data. The output data rates range from 1.25 SPS to 31.25 kSPS.
The AD7172-4 integrates key analog and digital signal condition-
ing blocks to allow users to configure an individual setup for
each analog input channel in use via the SPI. Integrated true rail-to-
rail buffers on the analog inputs and reference inputs provide easy
to drive high impedance inputs.
The digital filter allows simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection
at a 27.27 SPS output data rate. The user can switch between
different filter options according to the demands of each channel
in the application, with further digital processing functions such
as offset and gain calibration registers, which are configurable
on a per channel basis. General-purpose input/outputs (GPIOs)
control external multiplexers synchronous to the ADC conversion
timing. The specified temperature range is −40°C to +105°C.
The AD7172-4 is in a 5 mm × 5 mm, 32-lead LFCSP.
