GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7946 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single 5 V power supply, VDD. It contains a low power,
high speed, 14-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an
internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port.
The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short
aperture delay track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge,
it samples an analog input IN+ between 0 V to REF with respect
to a ground sense IN−. The reference voltage, REF, is applied
externally and can be set up to the supply voltage.
10-lead MSOP (MSOP-8 size) and
3 mm × 3 mm QFN (LFCSP) (SOT-23 size)
Pin-for-pin compatible with the 16-bit AD7686
APPLICATIONS
Battery-powered equipment
Data acquisition
Its power scales linearly with throughput.
Instrumentation
Medical instruments
Process control
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single,
3-wire bus, or it provides an optional BUSY indicator. It is
compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate
supply VIO.
The AD7946 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.
