GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SERIAL INTERFACE/CONTROL REGISTER
The AD7856 is a high speed, low power, 14-bit ADC that oper-
ates from a single 5 V power supply. The ADC powers up with
a set of default conditions at which time it can be operated as a
read only ADC. The ADC contains self-calibration and system
calibration options to ensure accurate operation over time and
temperature and it has a number of power-down options for low
power applications.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Single 5 V supply.
2. Automatic calibration on power-up.
The AD7856 is capable of 285 kHz throughput rate. The input
track-and-hold acquires a signal in 500 ns and features a pseudo-
differential sampling scheme. The AD7856 voltage range is 0 to
VREF with straight binary output coding. Input signal range is to
the supply and the part is capable of converting full power sig-
nals to 10 MHz.
3. Flexible power management options including automatic
power-down after conversion.
4. Operates with reference voltages from 1.2 V to VDD
5. Analog input range from 0 V to VDD
.
.
6. Eight single-ended or four pseudo-differential input channels.
7. Self- and system calibration.
CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation of typically
60 mW for normal operation and 5.1 mW in power-down mode
at 10 kSPS throughput rate. The part is available in 24-lead,
0.3 inch-wide dual in-line package (DIP), 24-lead small outline
(SOIC) and 24-lead small shrink outline (SSOP) packages.
Please see page 31 for data sheet index.
8. Versatile serial I/O port (SPI/QSPI/8051/µP).
