Flexible Serial Interface
The AD7816, AD7817, and AD7818 have a flexible serial
interface that allows easy interfacing to most microcontrollers.
The interface is compatible with the Intel 8051, Motorola
SPI® and QSPI™ protocols and National Semiconductors
MICROWIRE™ protocol. For more information refer to the
Serial Interface section of this data sheet.
APPLICATIONS
Ambient Temperature Monitoring (AD7816)
Thermostat and Fan Control
High Speed Microprocessor
The AD7817 is available in a narrow body 0.15" 16-lead small
outline IC (SOIC), in a 16-lead, thin shrink small outline pack-
age (TSSOP), while the AD7816/AD7818 come in an 8-lead
small outline IC (SOIC) and an 8-lead microsmall outline IC
(MSOP).

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The devices have an on-chip temperature sensor that allows an
accurate measurement of the ambient temperature to be
made. The measurable temperature range is –55°C to +125°C.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7818 and AD7817 are 10-bit, single- and 4-channel
A/D converters with on-chip temperature sensor that can oper-
ate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply. Each part con-
tains a 9 µs successive-approximation converter based around
a capacitor DAC, an on-chip temperature sensor with an accu-
racy of Ϯ2°C, an on-chip clock oscillator, inherent track-and-
hold functionality and an on-chip reference (2.5 V). The
AD7816 is a temperature monitoring only device in a SOIC/
MSOP package.
2. An overtemperature indicator is implemented by carrying out a
digital comparison of the ADC code for Channel 0 (tempera-
ture sensor) with the contents of the on-chip overtemperature
register. The overtemperature indicator pin goes logic low when
a predetermined temperature is exceeded.
3. The automatic power-down feature enables the AD7816,
AD7817, and AD7818 to achieve superior power perfor-
mance at slower throughput rates, e.g., 40 µW at 1 kSPS
throughput rate.
The on-chip temperature sensor of the AD7817 and AD7818
can be accessed via Channel 0. When Channel 0 is selected and
a conversion is initiated, the resulting ADC code at the end of
the conversion gives a measurement of the ambient temperature
with a resolution of Ϯ0.25°C. See Temperature Measurement
section of this data sheet.
