GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD4020 is a low noise, low power, high speed, 20-bit,
1.8 MSPS precision successive approximation register (SAR)
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It incorporates ease of use
features that lower the signal chain power, reduce signal chain
complexity, and enable higher channel density. The high-Z mode,
coupled with a long acquisition phase, eliminates the need for a
dedicated high power, high speed ADC driver, thus broadening the
range of low power precision amplifiers that can drive this ADC
directly, while still achieving optimum performance. The input
span compression feature enables the ADC driver amplifier and the
ADC to operate off common supply rails without the need for a
negative supply while preserving the full ADC code range. The
low serial peripheral interface (SPI) clock rate requirement
reduces the digital input/output power consumption, broadens
processor options, and simplifies the task of sending data across
digital isolation.
Operating from a 1.8 V supply, the AD4020 has a ±VREF fully
differential input range with VREF ranging from 2.4 V to 5.1 V.
The AD4020 consumes only 15 mW at 1.8 MSPS with a minimum
SCK rate of 71 MHz in turbo mode and achieves ±3.1 ppm integral
nonlinearity (INL), guaranteed no missing codes at 20 bits with
100.5 dB typical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The reference voltage
is applied externally and can be set independently of the supply
voltage.
The SPI-compatible versatile serial interface features seven different
modes including the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain
several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus, and provides an optional busy
indicator. The AD4020 is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V
logic, using the separate VIO supply.
The AD4020 is available in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead LFCSP
with operation specified from −40°C to +125°C. The device is
pin compatible with the 18-bit, 2 MSPS AD4003.
