The ADuC816 is a complete smart transducer front-end, integrating two high-resolution sigma-delta ADCs, an 8-bit MCU, and program/data Flash/EE Memory on a single chip. This low power device accepts low-level signals directly from a transducer.The two independent ADCs (Primary and Auxiliary) include a temperature sensor and a PGA (allowing direct measurement of low-level signals). The ADCs with on-chip digital filtering are intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals, such as those in weigh scale, strain gauge, pressure transducer, or temperature measurement applications. The ADC output data rates are programmable and the ADC output resolution will vary with the programmed gain and output rate.The device operates from a 32 kHz crystal with an on-chip PLL generating a high-frequency clock of 12.58 MHz. This clock is, in turn, routed through a programmable clock divider from which the MCU core clock operating frequency is generated. The microcontroller core is an 8052 and therefore 8051-instructionset-compatible. The microcontroller core machine cycle consists of 12 core clock periods of the selected core operating frequency. 8 Kbytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory are provided on-chip. 640 bytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE data memory and 256 bytes RAM are also integrated on-chip.The ADuC816 also incorporates additional analog functionality with a 12-bit DAC, current sources, power supply monitor, and a bandgap reference. On-chip digital peripherals include a watchdog timer, time interval counter, three timers/counters, and three serial I/O ports (SPI, UART, and I2C-compatible).On-chip factory firmware supports in-circuit serial download and debug modes (via UART), as well as single-pin emulation mode via theEApin.The part operates from a single 3 V or 5 V supply. When operating from 3 V supplies, the power dissipation for the part is below 10 mW. The ADuC816 is housed in a 52-lead MQFP package. The part operates from a single 3 V or 5 V supply. When operating from 3 V supplies, the power dissipation for the part is below 10 mW. The ADuC816 is housed in 52-lead MQFP and 56-lead LFCSP packages.ApplicationsIntelligent Sensors (IEEE1451.2-Compatible)Weigh ScalesPortable InstrumentationPressure Transducers4–20 mA Transmitters

The ADuC824 MicroConverter®is a fully integrated 24-bit data acquisition system-on-a-chip. Like all of ADI's MicroConverter products, it features precision A/D & D/A conversion and a Flash microcontroller on a single chip.The ADuC824 is 100% backward compatible (hardware and software) with the ADuC816. It is available in 52-pin PQFP or 56-pin CSP packages and operates on a 3V or 5V power supply.

The ADuC831 is a fully integrated 247 kSPS data acquisition system incorporating a high performance self-calibrating multi-channel 12-bit ADC, dual 12-bit DACs, and programmable 8-bit MCU on a single chip.The microcontroller core is an 8052, and therefore 8051-instruction-set compatible with 12 core clock periods per machine cycle. 62 kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory are provided on-chip. Four kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE data memory, 256 bytes RAM and 2 kBytes of extended RAM are also integrated on-chip.The ADuC831 also incorporates additional analog functionality with two 12-bit DACs, power supply monitor, and a band gap reference. On-chip digital peripherals include two 16-bit Σ-∆ DACs, dual output 16-bit PWM, watchdog timer, time interval counter, three timers/counters, Timer 3 for baud rate generation and serial I/O ports (I2C, SPI and UART).On-chip factory firmware supports in-circuit serial download and debug modes (via UART), as well as single-pin emulation mode via the EA pin. The ADuC831 is supported by QuickStart™ and QuickStart Plus development systems featuring low cost software and hardware development tools.The part is specified for 3 V and 5 V operation over the extended industrial temperature range, and is available in a 52-lead plastic quad flatpack package and in a 56-lead chip scale package.ApplicationsOptical networking—laser power controlBase station systemsPrecision instrumentation, smart sensorsTransient capture systemsDAS and communications systems
