GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 are, respectively, 8-bit, 10-bit,
and 12-bit, high speed, low power, 8-channel, successive
approximation ADCs. The parts operate from a single 2.7 V
to 5.25 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to
1 MSPS. The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track-
and-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies in excess
of 8 MHz.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High Throughput with Low Power Consumption.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
CS and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to easily inter-
face with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled
on the falling edge of CS and conversion is also initiated at this
point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.
The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 offer up to 1 MSPS throughput
rates. At the maximum throughput rate with 3 V supplies, the
AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 dissipate just 6 mW of power
maximum.
The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 use advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at maximum throughput rates.
At maximum throughput rates, the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928
consume 2 mA maximum with 3 V supplies; with 5 V supplies, the
current consumption is 2.7 mA maximum.
2. Eight Single-Ended Inputs with a Channel Sequencer.
A sequence of channels can be selected, through which the
ADC will cycle and convert on.
3. Single-Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function.
The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 operate from a single 2.7 V to
5.25 V supply. The VDRIVE function allows the serial interface
to connect directly to either 3 V or 5 V processor systems
Through the configuration of the Control Register, the analog
input range for the part can be selected as 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to
2 ϫ REFIN, with either straight binary or twos complement out-
put coding. The AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 each feature eight
single-ended analog inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a
preprogrammed selection of channels to be converted sequentially.

.
4. Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management.
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing
the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock
speed increase. The parts also feature various shutdown
modes to maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates.
Current consumption is 0.5 µA max when in full shutdown.
The conversion time for the AD7908/AD7918/AD7928 is deter-
mined by the SCLK frequency, which is also used as the master
clock to control the conversion.
5. No Pipeline Delay.
The parts feature a standard successive approximation ADC
with accurate control of the sampling instant via a CS input
and once off conversion control.
