The ADS1672 is a high-speed, high-precision analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Using an advanced delta-sigma () architecture, it operates at speeds up to 625kSPS with outstanding ac performance and dc accuracy.

The ADS1672 ADC is comprised of a low-drift, chopper-stabilized modulator with out-of-range detection and a dual-path programmable digital filter. The dual filter path allows the user to select between two post-processing filters: low-latency or wide-bandwidth. The low-latency filter settles quickly in one cycle, for applications with large instantaneous changes, such as a multiplexer. The wide-bandwidth path provides an optimized frequency response for ac measurements with a passband ripple of less than 0.001dB, stop band attenuation of 86dB, and a bandwidth of 305kHz.

The ADS1672 is controlled through I/O pins—there are no registers to program. A dedicated START pin allows for direct control of conversions: toggle the START pin to begin a conversion, and then retrieve the output data. The flexible serial interface supports data readback with either standard CMOS and LVDS logic levels, allowing the ADS1672 to directly connect to a wide range of microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), or field-programmable grid arrays (FPGAs).Read more
