FEATURES
16-Bit, 2 MSPS/1 MSPS/500 kSPS,
Precision, Pseudo Differential, SAR ADCs
AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
and AD4008 offer 2 MSPS, 1 MSPS, and 500 kSPS throughputs,
respectively. They incorporate ease of use features that reduce
signal chain power consumption, reduce signal chain complexity,
and enable higher channel density. The high-Z mode, coupled
with a long acquisition phase, eliminates the need for a dedicated
high power, high speed ADC driver, thus broadening the range
of low power precision amplifiers that can drive these ADCs
directly while still achieving optimum performance. The input
span compression feature enables the ADC driver amplifier and
the ADC to operate off of common supply rails without the need
for a negative supply while preserving the full ADC code range.
The low serial peripheral interface (SPI) clock rate requirement
reduces the digital input/output power consumption, broadens
processor options, and simplifies the task of sending data across
digital isolation.
Operating from a 1.8 V supply, the AD4000/AD4004/AD4008
sample an analog input (IN+) from 0 V to VREF with respect to
a ground sense (IN−) with VREF ranging from 2.4 V to 5.1 V.
The AD4000 consumes only 14 mW at 2 MSPS with a minimum
SCK rate of 70 MHz in turbo mode, the AD4004 consumes only
7 mW at 1 MSPS, and the AD4008 consumes only 3.5 mW at
500 kSPS. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 all achieve ±1.0 LSB
integral nonlinearity error (INL) maximum, guaranteed no
missing codes at 16 bits, and 93 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
for 1 kHz inputs. The reference voltage is applied externally and
can be set independently of the supply voltage.
The SPI-compatible versatile serial interface features seven
different modes including the ability, using the SDI input, to
daisy-chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus, and provides
an optional busy indicator. The AD4000/AD4004/AD4008 are
compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic, using the
separate VIO supply.
The AD4000/AD4004 are available in a 10-lead MSOP and a
10-lead LFCSP, and the AD4008 is available in a 10-lead LFCSP,
with operation specified from −40°C to +125°C. The devices are
pin compatible with the 18-bit, 2 MSPS
AD4003
(see Table 8).
