CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Analog Input Section
The AD7890 is offered as three part types, the AD7890-10
which handles a
±
10 V input voltage range, the AD7890-4
which handles a 0 V to 4.096 V input range and the AD7890-2
which handles a 0 V to 2.5 V input voltage range.
AD7890-10
Figure 2 shows the analog input section for the AD7890-10. The
analog input range for each of the analog inputs is
±
10 V into an
input resistance of typically 33 k
. This input is benign with no
dynamic charging currents with the resistor attenuator stage
followed by the multiplexer and in cases where MUX OUT is
connected to SHA IN this is followed by the high input impedance
stage of the track/hold amplifier. The designed code transitions
occur on successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSBs,
3 LSBs...). Output coding is twos complement binary with
1 LSB – FS/4096 = 20 V/4096 = 4.88 mV. The ideal input/output
transfer function is shown in Table I.

AD7890-4
Figure 3 shows the analog input section for the AD7890-4. The
analog input range for each of the analog inputs is
±
10 V into
an input resistance of typically 15 k
. This input is benign with
no dynamic charging currents with the resistor attenuator stage
followed by the multiplexer and in cases where MUX OUT is
connected to SHA IN this is followed by the high input impedance
stage of the track/hold amplifier. The designed code transitions
occur on successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSBs,
3 LSBs . . . ). Output coding is straight (natural) binary with
1 LSB = FS/4096 = 4.096 V/4096 = 1 mV. The ideal input/
output transfer function is shown in Table II.

AD7890-2
The analog input section for the AD7890-2 contains no biasing
resistors and the selected analog input connects to the multi-
plexer and in cases where MUX OUT is connected to SHA IN
this is followed by the high input impedance stage of the track/
hold amplifier. The analog input range is, therefore, 0 V to 2.5V
into a high impedance stage with an input current of less than
50 nA. The designed code transitions occur on successive integer
LSB values (i.e., l LSB, 2 LSBs, 3 LSBs . . . FS-1 LSBs). Out-
put coding is straight (natural) binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 =
2.5 V/4096 = 0.61 mV. The ideal input/output transfer function
is shown in Table III.
