a
Bridge Transducer ADC
AD7730/AD7730L
T he modulator output is processed by a low pass programmable
digital filter, allowing adjustment of filter cutoff, output rate and
settling time.
KEY FEATURES
Resolution of 230,000 Counts (Peak-to-Peak)
Offset Drift: 5 nV/ ؇C
Gain Drift: 2 ppm / ؇C
T he part features two buffered differential programmable gain
analog inputs as well as a differential reference input. T he part
operates from a single +5 V supply. It accepts four unipolar
analog input ranges: 0 mV to +10 mV, +20 mV, +40 mV and
+80 mV and four bipolar ranges: ±10 mV, ±20 mV, ±40 mV
and ±80 mV. T he peak-to-peak resolution achievable directly
from the part is 1 in 230,000 counts. An on-chip 6-bit DAC
allows the removal of T ARE voltages. Clock signals for synchro-
nizing ac excitation of the bridge are also provided.
Line Frequency Rejection: >150 dB
Buffered Differential Inputs
Program m able Filter Cutoffs
Specified for Drift Over Tim e
Operates w ith Reference Voltages of 1 V to 5 V
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Tw o-Channel Program m able Gain Front End
On-Chip DAC for Offset/ TARE Rem oval
FASTStep™ Mode
AC or DC Excitation
Single Supply Operation
T he serial interface on the part can be configured for three-wire
operation and is compatible with microcontrollers and digital
signal processors. T he AD7730 contains self-calibration and
system calibration options, and features an offset drift of less
than 5 nV/°C and a gain drift of less than 2 ppm/°C.
APPLICATIONS
Weigh Scales
Pressure Measurem ent
T he AD7730 is available in a 24-pin plastic DIP, a 24-lead
SOIC and 24-lead T SSOP package. T he AD7730L is available
in a 24-lead SOIC and 24-lead T SSOP package.
GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
T he AD7730 is a complete analog front end for weigh-scale and
pressure measurement applications. T he device accepts low-
level signals directly from a transducer and outputs a serial
digital word. T he input signal is applied to a proprietary pro-
grammable gain front end based around an analog modulator.

T he description of the functions and operation given in this data
sheet apply to both the AD7730 and AD7730L. Specifications
and performance parameters differ for the parts. Specifications
for the AD7730L are outlined in Appendix A.
