The AD7768/AD7768-4 are 8-channel and 4-channel,
simultaneous sampling sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), respectively, with a Σ-Δ modulator and digital filter per channel, enabling synchronized sampling of ac and dc signals.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 achieve 108 dB dynamic range at a
maximum input bandwidth of 110.8 kHz, combined with typical
performance of ±2 ppm integral nonlinearity (INL), ±50 μV
offset error, and ±30 ppm gain error.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 user can trade off input bandwidth,
output data rate, and power dissipation, and select one of three
power modes to optimize for noise targets and power consumption. The flexibility of the AD7768/AD7768-4 allows them to become reusable platforms for low power dc and high
performance ac measurement modules.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have three modes: fast mode (256 kSPS maximum, 110.8 kHz input bandwidth, 51.5 mW per channel),
median mode (128 kSPS maximum, 55.4 kHz input bandwidth,
27.5 mW per channel) and low power mode (32 kSPS maximum, 13.8 kHz input bandwidth, 9.375 mW per channel).
The AD7768/AD7768-4 offer extensive digital filtering
capabilities, such as a wideband, low ±0.005 dB pass-band
ripple, antialiasing low-pass filter with sharp roll-off, and 105 dB attenuation at the Nyquist frequency.
Frequency domain measurements can use the wideband linear phase filter. This filter has a flat pass band (±0.005 dB ripple)
from dc to 102.4 kHz at 256 kSPS, from dc to 51.2 kHz at 128 kSPS, or from dc to 12.8 kHz at 32 kSPS.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 also offer sinc response via a sinc5 filter, a low latency path for low bandwidth, and low noise
measurements. The wideband and sinc5 filters can be selected and run on a per channel basis.
Within these filter options, the user can improve the dynamic
range by selecting from decimation rates of ×32, ×64, ×128,
×256, ×512, and ×1024. The ability to vary the decimation filtering optimizes noise performance to the required input
bandwidth.
Embedded analog functionality on each ADC channel makes
design easier, such as a precharge buffer on each analog input
that reduces analog input current and a precharge reference buffer per channel reduces input current and glitches on the
reference input terminals.
The device operates with a 5 V AVDD1A and AVDD1B supply,
a 2.25 V to 5.0 V AVDD2A and AVDD2B supply, and a 2.5 V to 3.3 V or 1.8 V IOVDD supply (see the 1.8 V IOVDD Operation
section for specific requirements for operating at 1.8 V IOVDD).
The device requires an external reference; the absolute input
reference voltage range is 1 V to AVDD1 − AVSS.
