The AD7938-6 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. The part also
features flexible power management options. An on-chip
control register allows the user to set up different operating
conditions, including analog input range and configuration,
output coding, power management, and channel sequencing.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7938-6 is a 12-bit high speed, low power, successive
approximation (SAR) ADC. The part operates from a single
2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput rates up
to 625 kSPS. The part contains a low noise, wide bandwidth,
differential track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input
frequencies up to 50 MHz.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High throughput with low power consumption.
2. Eight analog inputs with a channel sequencer.
3. Accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference.
4. Software configurable analog inputs. Single-ended, pseudo-
differential, or fully differential analog inputs that are
software selectable.
The AD7938-6 features eight analog input channels with a
channel sequencer that allows a preprogrammed selection of
channels to be converted sequentially. The part can operate
with either single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo-
differential analog inputs.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using standard control inputs that allow easy interfacing with
microprocessors and DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the

The AD7938-6 has an accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference that
can be used as the reference source for the analog-to-digital
conversion. Alternatively, this pin can be overdriven to provide
an external reference.
