GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7938/AD7939 are 12-bit and 10-bit, high speed, low
power, successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs). The parts operate from a single 2.7 V to
5.25 V power supply and feature throughput rates up to
1.5 MSPS. The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth,
differential track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input
frequencies up to 50 MHz.
These parts use advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. They also
feature 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.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7938/AD7939 feature eight analog input channels with
a channel sequencer that allows a preprogrammed selection of
channels to be converted sequentially. These parts can operate
with either single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo
differential analog inputs.
1. High throughput with low power consumption.
2. Eight analog inputs with a channel sequencer.
3. Accurate on-chip 2.5 V reference.
4. Single-ended, pseudo differential, or fully differential
analog inputs that are software selectable.
5. Single-supply operation with VDRIVE function. The VDRIVE
function allows the parallel interface to connect directly to
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
3 V or 5 V processor systems independent of VDD
6. No pipeline delay.

7. Accurate control of the sampling instant via a
input and once-off conversion control.
The AD7938/AD7939 have 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.
