AD7457 Series

The AD7457 is a 12-bit, low power, successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter that features a pseudo differential analog input. This part operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput rates up to 100 kSPS.The part contains a low-noise, wide bandwidth, differential track and hold amplifier (T/H) which can handle input frequencies in excess of 1 MHz. The reference voltage for the AD7457 is applied externally to the VREFpin and can range from 100mV to VDD, depending on what suits the application.The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled usingCSand the serial clock allowing the device to interface with Microprocessors or DSPs.The AD7457 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation.PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTSOperation with 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supplies.Low power consumption. With a 3 V supply, the AD7457 offers 0.9 mW maximum power consumption for a 100 kSPS throughput rate.Pseudo differential analog input.Flexible power/serial clock speed management. The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing the power to be reduced as the conversion time is reduced through the serial clock speed increase. Automatic power-down after conversion allows the average power consumption to be reduced.Variable voltage reference input.No pipeline delays.Accurate control of the sampling instant via theCSinput and once-off conversion control.ENOB > 10 bits typically with 500 mV reference.
