GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 are fast, complete, 12-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These converters consist
of a track-and-hold amplifier, an 8 μs successive approximation
ADC, a 3 V buried Zener reference, and versatile interface logic.
The ADCs feature a self-contained internal clock which is laser
trimmed to guarantee accurate control of conversion time. No
external clock timing components are required; the on-chip
clock may be overridden by an external clock if required.
The parts are available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic or
hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP). The AD7870 and AD7875
are available in a 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC),
while the AD7876 is available and in a 24-pin small outline
(SOIC) package.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Complete 12-bit ADC on a chip.
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 provide all the functions
necessary for analog-to-digital conversion and combine a
12-bit ADC with internal clock, track-and-hold amplifier
and reference on a single chip.
The parts offer a choice of three data output formats: a single,
parallel, 12-bit word; two 8-bit bytes or serial data. Fast bus
access times and standard control inputs ensure easy interfacing
to modern microprocessors and digital signal processors.
2. Dynamic specifications for DSP users.
All parts operate from 5 V power supplies. The AD7870 and
AD7876 accept input signal ranges of 3 V and 10 V, respec-
tively, while the AD7875 accepts a unipolar 0 V to +5 V input
range. The parts can convert full power signals up to 50 kHz.
The AD7870 and AD7875 are fully specified and tested for
ac parameters, including signal-to-noise ratio, harmonic
distortion and intermodulation distortion.
3. Fast microprocessor interface.
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 feature dc accuracy specifica-
tions, such as linearity, full-scale and offset error. In addition,
the AD7870 and AD7875 are fully specified for dynamic
performance parameters including distortion and signal-to-
noise ratio.
Data access times of 57 ns make the parts compatible with
modern 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors and digital signal
processors. Key digital timing parameters are tested and
guaranteed over the full operating temperature range.
