PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. The AD7891 is a complete monolithic 12-bit data acquisition
system combining an eight-channel multiplexer, 12-bit ADC,
+2.5 V reference and track/hold amplifier on a single chip.
The AD7891 is an eight-channel 12-bit data acquisition system
with a choice of either parallel or serial interface structure. The
part contains an input multiplexer, an on-chip track/hold ampli-
fier, a high speed 12-bit ADC, a +2.5 V reference and a high
speed interface. The part operates from a single +5 V supply
and accepts a variety of analog input ranges across two models,
the AD7891-1 (±5 V and ±10 V) and the AD7891-2 (0 V to
+2.5 V, 0 V to +5 V and ±2.5 V).
2. The AD7891-2 features a conversion time of 1.6 µs and an
acquisition time of 0.4 µs. This allows a sample rate of
500 kSPS when sampling one channel and 62.5 kSPS when
channel hopping. These sample rates can be achieved using
either a software or hardware convert start. The AD7891-1
has an acquisition time of 0.6 µs when using a hardware
convert start and an acquisition time of 0.7 µs when using a
software convert start. These acquisition times allow sample
rates of 454.5 kSPS and 435 kSPS respectively for hardware
and software convert start.
The AD7891 provides the option of either a parallel interface or
serial interface structure determined by the MODE pin. The
part has standard control inputs and fast data access times for
both the serial and parallel interfaces which ensures easy inter-
facing to modern microprocessors, microcontrollers and digital
signal processors.
3. Each channel on the AD7891 has overvoltage protection.
This means that an overvoltage on an unselected channel
does not affect the conversion on a selected channel. The
AD7891-1 can withstand overvoltages of ±17 V.
In addition to the traditional dc accuracy specifications such as
linearity, full-scale and offset errors, the part is also specified for
dynamic performance parameters including harmonic distortion
and signal-to-noise ratio.
Power dissipation in normal mode is 90 mW typical while in
the standby mode this is reduced to 75 µW typ. The part is
available in a 44-terminal plastic quad flatpack (PQFP) and a
44-lead plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC).
