GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7817/AD7818 are 10-bit, single- and 4-channel analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) with an on-chip temperature sensor that
can operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply. Each part
contains a 9 µs successive approximation converter based around
a capacitor digital-to-analog converter (DAC), an on-chip
temperature sensor with an accuracy of 2°C, an on-chip clock
oscillator, inherent track-and-hold functionality, and an on-chip
reference (2.5 V).
information, refer to the AD7817 Serial Interface section and
the AD7818 Serial Interface Mode section.
The AD7817 is available in a narrow body, 0.15 inch, 16-lead
SOIC and a 16-lead TSSOP, and the AD7818 comes in an 8-lead
SOIC and an 8-lead 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.
2. An overtemperature indicator is implemented by carrying out a
digital comparison of the ADC code for Channel 0 (temperature
sensor) with the contents of the on-chip overtemperature
register. The overtemperature indicator pin goes logic low
when a predetermined temperature is exceeded.
The on-chip temperature sensor of the AD7817/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 0.25°C. See the Temperature Measurement section.
The AD7817/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, and
National Semiconductors MICROWIRE protocols. For more
3. The automatic power-down feature enables the AD7817 and
AD7818 to achieve superior power performance at slower
throughput rates, that is, 40 µW at 1 kSPS throughput rate.
