T he AD7450 is a 12-bit, high speed, low power, succes-
sive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter
featuring a fully differential analog input. It operates from
a single 3 V or 5 V power supply and features throughput
rates up to 833kSPS or 1MSPS respectively.
T his part contains a low-noise, wide bandwidth, differen-
tial track and hold amplifier (T /H) which can handle
input frequencies in excess of 1MHz with the -3dB point
being 20MHz typically. T he reference voltage for the
AD7450 is applied externally to the V
REF
pin and can be
varied from 100 mV to 2.5 V depending on the power
supply and to suit the application. T he value of the refer-
ence voltage determines the common mode voltage range
of the part. With this truly differential input structure and
variable reference input, the user can select a variety of
input ranges and bias points.
T he conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using
CS
and the serial clock allowing the device to inter-
face with Microprocessors or DSPs. T he input signals are
sampled on the falling edge of
CS
and the conversion is
also initiated at this point.

T he SAR architecture of this part ensures that there are
no pipeline delays.
T he AD7450 uses advanced design techniques to achieve
very low power dissipation at high throughput rates.

1.Operation with either 3 V or 5 V power supplies.
2.High T hroughput with L ow Power Consumption.
With a 3V supply, the AD7450 offers 3mW typ power
consumption for 833kSPS throughput.
3.Fully Differential Analog Input.
4.Flexible Power/Serial C lock Speed Management.
T he 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. T his
part also features a shutdown mode to maximize power
efficiency at lower throughput rates.
5.Variable Voltage Reference Input.
6.No Pipeline Delay.
7.Accurate control of the sampling instant via a
CS
input
and once off conversion control.
