Isolated Sigma-Delta Modulator
AD7401
FEATURES
GENERAꢀ DESCRIPTION
The AD74011 is a second-order, Σ-Δ modulator that converts
an analog input signal into a high speed 1-bit data stream with
on-chip digital isolation based on Analog Devices’ iCoupler®
technology. The AD7401 operates from a 5 V power supply and
accepts a differential input signal of ±±00 mV ꢀ±(±0 mV full-
scale). The analog input is continuously sampled by the analog
modulator, eliminating the need for external sample-and-hold
circuitry. The input information is contained in the output
stream as a density of 1s with a data rate up to 16 MHz. The
original information can be reconstructed with an appropriate
digital filter. The serial I/O can use a 5 V or ( V supply ꢀVDD±).

The serial interface is digitally isolated. High speed CMOS,
combined with monolithic air core transformer technology,
means the on-chip isolation provides outstanding performance
characteristics, superior to alternatives such as optocoupler
devices. The part contains an on-chip reference. The AD7401
is offered in a 16-lead SOIC_W and has an operating
temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
