GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7877 is a 12-bit successive approximation ADC with a
synchronous serial interface and low on resistance switches for
driving touch screens. The AD7877 operates from a single 2.7 V
to 5.25 V power supply (functional operation to 2.2V), and
features throughput rates of 125 kSPS. The AD7877 features
direct battery measurement on two inputs, temperature and
touch-pressure measurement.
To reduce the effects of noise from LCDs, the acquisition phase
of the on-board ADC can be controlled via the STOPACQ pin.
User-programmable conversion controls include variable
acquisition time and first conversion delay. Up to 16 averages
can be taken per conversion. There is also an on-board DAC for
LCD backlight or contrast control. The AD7877 can run in
either slave or master mode, using a conversion sequencer and
timer. It is ideal for battery-powered systems such as personal
digital assistants with resistive touch screens and other portable
equipment.
The AD7877 also has an on-board reference of 2.5 V. When not
in use, it can be shut down to conserve power. An external
reference can also be applied and can be varied from 1 V to
+VCC, while the analog input range is from 0 V to VREF. The
device includes a shutdown mode, which reduces its current
consumption to less than 1 µA.
The part is available in a 32-lead lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP).
