GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The on-chip PGA has a gain of 1 or 128, supporting a full-scale
differential input of ±± ꢀ or ±3ꢁ mꢀ. The device has two filter
response options. The filter response at the 16.7 Hz update rate
provides superior dynamic performance. The settling time is
120 ms at this update rate. At the 10 Hz update rate, the filter
response provides greater than −4± dB of stop-band attenuation.
In load cell applications, this stop-band rejection is useful to reject
low frequency mechanical vibrations of the load cell. The settling
time is 300 ms at this update rate. Simultaneous ±0 Hz/60 Hz
rejection occurs at both the 10 Hz and 16.7 Hz update rates.
The AD7780 is a complete low power front-end solution for
bridge sensor products, including weigh scales, strain gages, and
pressure sensors. It contains a precision, low power, 24-bit sigma-
delta (Σ-Δ) ADC; an on-chip, low noise programmable gain
amplifier (PGA); and an on-chip oscillator.
Consuming only 330 μA, the AD7780 is particularly suitable for
portable or battery-operated products where very low power is
required. The AD7780 also has a power-down mode that allows
the user to switch off the power to the bridge sensor and power
down the AD7780 when not converting, thus increasing the
battery life of the product.
The AD7780 operates with a power supply from 2.7 ꢀ to ±.2± ꢀ.
It is available in a narrow body, 14-lead SOIC package and a 16-lead
TSSOP package.
For ease of use, all the features of the AD7780 are controlled by
dedicated pins. Each time a data read occurs, eight status bits
are appended to the 24-bit conversion. These status bits contain
a pattern sequence that can be used to confirm the validity of
the serial transfer.
