GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7896 is a fast, 12-bit ADC which operates from a single
+2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and is housed in a small 8-pin mini-DIP
and 8-pin SOIC. The part contains an 8 µs successive approxi-
mation A/D converter, an on-chip track/hold amplifier, an on-
chip clock and a high speed serial interface.
Output data from the AD7896 is provided via a high speed,
serial interface port. This two-wire serial interface has a serial
clock input and a serial data output with the external serial clock
accessing the serial data from the part.
In addition to the traditional dc accuracy specifications such as
linearity, full-scale and offset errors, the AD7896 is also speci-
fied for dynamic performance parameters including harmonic
distortion and signal-to-noise ratio.
The part accepts an analog input range of 0 V to V_DD and oper-
ates from a single +2.7 V to +5.5 V supply consuming only
9 mW typical. The V_DD input is also used as the reference for
the part so that no external reference is required.
The AD7896 features a high sampling rate mode and, for low
power applications, a proprietary automatic power down mode
where the part automatically goes into power down once con-
version is complete and “wakes up” before the next conversion
cycle.
The part is available in a small, 8-pin, 0.3'' wide, plastic or her-
metic dual-in-line package (mini-DIP) and in an 8-pin, small
outline IC (SOIC).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Complete, 12-bit ADC in 8-Pin Package
The AD7896 contains an 8 µs ADC, a track/hold amplifier,
control logic and a high speed serial interface, all in an 8-pin
DIP. The V_DD input is used as the reference for the part so
no external reference is needed. This offers considerable
space saving over alternative solutions.
2. Low Power, Single Supply Operation
The AD7896 operates from a single +2.7 V to 5.5 V supply
and consumes only 9 mW typical. The automatic power
down mode, where the part goes into power down once con-
version is complete and “wakes up” before the next conver-
sion cycle, makes the AD7896 ideal for battery powered or
portable applications.
3. High Speed Serial Interface
The part provides high speed serial data and serial clock lines
allowing for an easy, two-wire serial interface arrangement.
