1.75MSPS, 4mW
10-Bit/12-Bit SAR ADC
using standard control inputs allowing easy interfacing to mi-
croprocessors or DSPs. T he input signal is sampled on the
falling edge of
CONVST
and conversion is also initiated at this
point. T he BUSY goes high at the start of conversion and goes
low 465ns later to indicate that the conversion is complete.
T here are no pipelined delays associated with the part. T he
conversion result is accessed via standard
CS
and
RD
signals
over a high speed parallel interface.
T he AD7470/AD7472 uses advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates.
With 3V supplies and 1.75MSPS throughput rate, the parts
consume just 1mA. With 5V supplies and 1.75MSPS, the
current consumption is 1.8mA. T he part also offers flexible
power/throughput rate management. Operating the part with
3V supplies and 500ksps throughput reduces the current con-
sumption to 0.5mA. At 5V supplies and 500ksps, the part
consumes 0.8mA.
It is also possible to operate the parts in an auto shutdown
mode, where the part powers up to do a conversion and auto-
matically enters shutdown mode at the end of conversion.

T he AD7470/AD7472 are 10-bit /12-bit high speed, low
power, successive-approximation ADCs. T he parts operate
from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply and feature
throughput rates up to 1.5MSPS for the 12-bit AD7472 and
up to 1.75MSPS for the 10-bit AD7470. T he parts contain a
low-noise, wide bandwidth track/hold amplifier which can
handle input frequencies in excess of 1MHz.
T he conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
Using this method allows very low power dissipation numbers
at lower throughput rates. In this mode, the parts can be oper-
ated with 3V supplies at 100ksps, and consume an average
current of just 150uA. At 5V supplies and 100ksps, the average
current consumption is 270uA.
T he analog input range for the part is 0 to REF IN. T he +2.5V
reference is applied externally to the REF IN pin. T he conver-
sion rate is determined by the externally-applied clock.

1.High T hroughput with Low Power Consumption the
AD7470 offers 1.75MSPS throughput and the AD7472
offers 1.5MSPS throughput rates with 3mW power
consumption.
2.Flexible Power/T hroughput Rate Management
T he conversion rate is determined by an externally-applied
clock allowing the power to be reduced as the conversion rate
is reduced. T he part also features an autoshutdown mode to
maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates.
3.No Pipeline Delay.
T he part features a standard successive-approximation ADC
with accurate control of the sampling instant via a
CONVST
input and once off conversion control.
