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.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7938/AD7939 are 12-bit and 10-bit, high speed, low
power, successive approximation (SAR) 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.
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/AD7939 feature eight analog input channels with
a channel sequencer that allow a preprogrammed selection of
channels to be converted sequentially. These parts 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/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.
