The AD7794/AD7795are low power, low noise, complete analog front ends for high precision measurement applications. They contain a low noise, 24-/16-bit Σ-Δ ADC with six differential inputs. The on-chip low noise instrumentation amplifier means that signals of small amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC.Each device contains a precision, low noise, low drift internal band gap reference, and can also accept up to two external differential references. Other on-chip features include programmable excitation current sources, burnout currents, and a bias voltage generator that is used to set the common-mode voltage of a channel to AVDD/2. The low-side power switch can be used to power down bridge sensors between conversions, minimizing the system’s power consumption. The AD7794/AD7795 can operate with either an internal clock or an external clock. The output data rate from each part can vary from 4.17 Hz to 470 Hz.Both parts operate with a power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. The B-grade parts (AD7794 and AD7795) are specified for a temperature range of −40°C to +105°C while the C-grade part (AD7794) is specified for a temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. They consume a current of 400 μA typical and are housed in a 24-lead TSSOP.ApplicationsTemperature measurementPressure measurementWeigh scalesStrain gage transducersGas analysis
