The AD7903 is a dual 16-bit, successive approximation, analog-
to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power
supply, VDDx, per ADC. It contains two low power, high speed,
16-bit sampling ADCs and a versatile serial port interface (SPI).
On the CNVx rising edge, the AD7903 samples the voltage
difference between the INx+ and INx− pins. The voltages on
these pins usually swing in opposite phases between 0 V and
V
REF. The externally applied reference voltage of the REFx pins
(VREF) can be set independently from the supply voltage pins,
True differential analog input range: VREF
0 V to VREF with VREF between 2.4 V to 5.1 V
Allows use of any input range
Easy to drive with the ADA4941-1
No pipeline delay
Single-supply 2.5 V operation with 1.8 V/2.5 V/3 V/5 V logic
interface
Serial port interface (SPI)/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatible
20-lead QSOP package
VDDx. The power of the device scales linearly with throughput.
Using the SDIx inputs, the SPI-compatible serial interface can
also daisy-chain multiple ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and provide
an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V,
or 5 V logic, using the separate VIOx supplies.
The AD7903 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package with operation
specified from −40°C to +125°C.
