The AD7942 is a 14-bit, charge redistribution, successive approxi-
mation PulSAR® ADC that operates from a single power supply,
VDD, between 2.3 V to 5.5 V. It contains a low power, high
speed, 14-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an internal
conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port. The part
also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short aperture delay
track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge, it samples an
analog input, IN+, between 0 V to VREF with respect to a ground
sense, IN−. The reference voltage, VREF, is applied externally and
is set up to be the supply voltage. Its power scales linearly with
the throughput.
APPLICATIONS
Battery-powered equipment
Data acquisition
Instrumentation
Medical instruments
Process controls
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single
3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is com-
patible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic using a separate
supply (VIO).
The AD7942 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) package yet fits in the same size footprint as the 8-lead
MSOP or SOT-23. Operation for the AD7942 is specified from
−40°C to +85°C.
