24-Bit Capacitance-to-Digital Converter
with Temperature Sensor
AD7745/AD7746
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Capacitance-to-digital converter
New standard in single chip solutions
Interfaces to single or differential floating sensors
Resolution down to 4 aF (that is, up to 21 ENOB)
Accuracy: 4 fF
Linearity: 0.01%
Common-mode (not changing) capacitance up to 17 pF
Full-scale (changing) capacitance range: ±4 pF
Tolerant of parasitic capacitance to ground up to 60 pF
Update rate: 10 Hz to 90 Hz
Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection at 16 Hz
The AD7745/AD7746 are a high resolution, Σ-Δ capacitance-to-
digital converter (CDC). The capacitance to be measured is
connected directly to the device inputs. The architecture fea-
tures inherent high resolution (24-bit no missing codes, up to
21-bit effective resolution), high linearity (±0.01%), and high
accuracy (±4 fF factory calibrated). The AD7745/AD7746
capacitance input range is ±4 pF (changing), while it can accept
up to 17 pF common-mode capacitance (not changing), which
can be balanced by a programmable on-chip, digital-to-
capacitance converter (CAPDAC).

The AD7745 has one capacitance input channel, while the
AD7746 has two channels. Each channel can be configured as
single-ended or differential. The AD7745/AD7746 are designed
for floating capacitive sensors. For capacitive sensors with one
plate connected to ground, the AD7747 is recommended.
The parts have an on-chip temperature sensor with a resolution
of 0.1°C and accuracy of ±2°C. The on-chip voltage reference
and the on-chip clock generator eliminate the need for any
16-lead TSSOP package
external components in capacitive sensor applications. The

parts have a standard voltage input, which together with the
differential reference input allows easy interface to an external

temperature sensor, such as an RTD, thermistor, or diode.
The AD7745/AD7746 have a 2-wire, I²C-compatible serial
interface. Both parts can operate with a single power supply
from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. They are specified over the automotive
temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and are housed in a
16-lead TSSOP package.
