powered up on the falling edge of CS and a conversion is
initiated on the rising edge of CS, where the analog input
is sampled. Once a conversion is complete, the device
automatically enters a power down mode to reduce power
dissipation between conversions.
T he AD7456 is a 12-bit, low power, successive-approxi-
mation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter that features a
fully differential analog input. T his part operates from a
single 3 V or 5 V power supply and features throughput
rates up to 100kSPS.
T he SAR architecture of this part ensures that there are
no pipeline delays.
T he part contains a low-noise, wide bandwidth, differen-
tial track and hold amplifier (T /H) which can handle
input frequencies in excess of 1MHz with the -3dB point
being 20MH z typically. T he reference voltage is applied
externally to the VREF pin and can be varied from 100 mV
to 3.5 V depending on the power supply and what suits the
application. T he value of the reference voltage determines
the common mode voltage range of the part. With this
truly differential input structure and variable reference
input, the user can select a variety of input ranges and bias
points.
