GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7691 is an 18-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.3 V and 5 V. It
contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC with no
missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile
serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, it samples the
voltage difference between the IN+ and IN pins. The voltages
on these pins swing in opposite phases between 0 V and REF.
The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set
up to the supply voltage.
The part’s power scales linearly with throughput.
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single
3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible
with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate VIO supply.
The AD7691 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) with operation specified from 40°C to +85°C.
