GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7712 is a complete analog front end for low frequency
measurement applications. The device has two analog input
channels and accepts either low level signals directly from a trans-
ducer or high level (± 4 ϫ V_REF) signals, and outputs a serial
digital word. It employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to
realize up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The low
level input signal is applied to a proprietary programmable gain
front end based around an analog modulator. The high level
analog input is attenuated before being applied to the same
modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-chip
digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed
via the on-chip control register, allowing adjustment of the filter
cutoff and settling time.
Normally, one of the channels will be used as the main channel
with the second channel used as an auxiliary input to periodi-
cally measure a second voltage. The part can be operated from a
single supply (by tying the V_SS pin to AGND), provided that the
input signals on the low level analog input are more positive
than –30 mV. By taking the V_SS pin negative, the part can con-
vert signals down to –V_REF on this low level input. This low level
input, as well as the reference input, features differential input
capability.
The AD7712 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller based
systems. Input channel selection, gain settings, and signal polar-
ity can be configured in software using the bidirectional serial
REV. F

port. The AD7712 also contains self-calibration, system calibra-
tion, and background calibration options, and allows the user to
read and to write the on-chip calibration registers.
CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation, and a hard-
ware programmable power-down mode reduces the standby power
consumption to only 100 µW typical. The part is available in a
24-lead, 0.3 inch wide, plastic and hermetic dual-in-line pack-
age (DIP), as well as a 24-lead small outline (SOIC) package.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The low level analog input channel allows the AD7712 to
accept input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer,
removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning. To
maximize the flexibility of the part, the high level analog
input accepts signals of ± 4 ϫ V_REF/GAIN.
2. The AD7712 is ideal for microcontroller or DSP processor
applications with an on-chip control register that allows
control over filter cutoff, input gain, channel selection, signal
polarity, and calibration modes.
3. The AD7712 allows the user to read and to write the on-chip
calibration registers. This means that the microcontroller has
much greater control over the calibration procedure.
4. No missing codes ensures true, usable, 23-bit dynamic range
coupled with excellent ± 0.0015% accuracy. The effects of
temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip self-calibration,
which removes zero-scale and full-scale errors.
