T he AD7484 is a 14-bit, high speed, low power, succes-
sive-approximation ADC. T he part features a parallel
interface with throughput rates up to 3Msps. T he part
contains a low-noise, wide bandwidth track/hold amplifier
which can handle input frequencies in excess of 50MHz.
T he conversion process is a proprietary algorithmic suc-
cessive-approximation technique which results in no
pipeline delays. T he input signal is sampled and a conver-
sion is initiated on the falling edge of the
signal. T he conversion process is controlled via an inter-
nally trimmed oscillator. Interfacing is via standard
parallel signal lines making the part directly compatible
with microcontrollers and DSPs.
T he AD7484 provides excellent ac and dc performance
specifications. Factory trimming ensures high dc accuracy
resulting in very low INL, offset and gain errors.
T he part uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. Power
consumption in normal mode of operation is 90mW.
T here are two power-saving modes: a NAP mode, which
keeps the reference circuitry alive for a quick power up
while consuming 5mW and a ST ANDBY mode which
reduces power consumption to a mere 5μW.
T he AD7484 features an on-board +2.5V reference but
the part can also accomodate an externally-provided
+2.5V reference source. T he nominal analog input range
is 0 to +2.5V but an offset shift capability allows this
nominal range to be offset by +/-200mV. T his allows the
user considerable flexibility in setting the bottom end
reference point of the signal range, a useful feature when
using single-supply op-amps.
T he AD7484 also provides the user with an 8% overrange
capability via a 15th bit. T hus, if the analog input range
strays outside the nominal by up to 8%, the user can still
accurately resolve the signal by using the 15th bit.
T he AD7484 is powered from a +4.75V to +5.25V sup-
ply. T he part also provides a V
DRIVE
pin which allows the
user to set the voltage levels for the digital interface lines.
T he range for this V
DRIVE
pin is from +2.7V to +5.25V.
T he part is housed in a 48-pin LQFP package and is
specified over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
