SM73201
16-Bit, 50 to 250 kSPS, Differential Input, MicroPower ADC
General Description
Features
The SM73201 is a 16-bit successive-approximation register
(SAR) Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC) with a maximum
sampling rate of 250 kSPS. The converter features a differ-
ential analog input with an excellent common-mode signal
rejection ratio of 85 dB, making the SM73201 suitable for
noisy environments.

Guaranteed performance from 50 to 250 kSPS
Separate Digital Input/Output Supply
True differential input
External voltage reference range of +0.5V to VA
Wide input common-mode voltage range of 0V to VA
The SM73201 operates with a single analog supply (VA) and
a separate digital input/output (VIO) supply. VA can range from
+4.5V to +5.5V and VIO can range from +2.7V to +5.5V. This
allows a system designer to maximize performance and min-
imize power consumption by operating the analog portion of
the ADC at a VA of +5V while interfacing with a +3.3V con-
troller. The serial data output is binary 2's complement and is
SPI™ compatible.

The performance of the SM73201 is guaranteed over tem-
perature at clock rates of 1 MHz to 5 MHz and reference
voltages of +2.5V to +5.5V. The SM73201 is available in a
small 10-lead MSOP package. The high accuracy, differential
input, low power consumption, and small size make the
SM73201 ideal for direct connection to bridge sensors and
transducers in battery operated systems or remote data ac-
quisition applications.
