GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7877 is a 12-bit, successive approximation ADC with a
synchronous serial interface and low on resistance switches for
driving touch screens. The AD7877 operates from a single 2.7 V
to 5.25 V power supply (functional operation to 2.2 V), and
features throughput rates of 125 kSPS. The AD7877 features
direct battery measurement on two inputs, temperature and
touch-pressure measurement.
The AD7877 also has an on-board reference of 2.5 V. When not
in use, it can be shut down to conserve power. An external
reference can also be applied and varied from 1 V to +VCC, with
an analog input range of 0 V to VREF. The device includes a
shutdown mode that reduces its current consumption to less
than 1 µA.

To reduce the effects of noise from LCDs, the acquisition phase
of the on-board ADC is controlled via the STOPACQ pin. User-
programmable conversion controls include variable acquisition
time and first conversion delay. Up to 16 averages can be taken
per conversion. There is also an on-board DAC for LCD back-
light or contrast control. The AD7877 runs in either slave or
master mode using a conversion sequencer and timer. It is ideal
for battery-powered systems such as personal digital assistants
with resistive touch screens and other portable equipment.
The part is available in a 32-lead lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP), and a 25-ball wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).
