GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 are fast, complete, 12-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These converters consist
of a track-and-hold amplifier, an 8 μs successive approximation
ADC, a 3 V buried Zener reference, and versatile interface logic.
The ADCs feature a self-contained internal clock which is laser
trimmed to guarantee accurate control of conversion time. No
external clock timing components are required; the on-chip
clock may be overridden by an external clock if required.
The parts offer a choice of three data output formats: a single,
parallel, 12-bit word; two 8-bit bytes or serial data. Fast bus
access times and standard control inputs ensure easy interfacing
to modern microprocessors and digital signal processors.
All parts operate from ±5 V power supplies. The AD7870 and
AD7876 accept input signal ranges of ±3 V and ±10 V, respec-
tively, while the AD7875 accepts a unipolar 0 V to +5 V input
range. The parts can convert full power signals up to 50 kHz.
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 feature dc accuracy specifica-
tions, such as linearity, full-scale and offset error. In addition,
the AD7870 and AD7875 are fully specified for dynamic
performance parameters including distortion and signal-to-
noise ratio.
The parts are available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic or
hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP). The AD7870 and AD7875
are available in a 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC),
while the AD7876 is available and in a 24-pin small outline
(SOIC) package.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
Complete 12-bit ADC on a chip.
The AD7870/AD7875/AD7876 provide all the functions
necessary for analog-to-digital conversion and combine a
12-bit ADC with internal clock, track-and-hold amplifier
and reference on a single chip.
Dynamic specifications for DSP users.
The AD7870 and AD7875 are fully specified and tested for
ac parameters, including signal-to-noise ratio, harmonic
distortion and intermodulation distortion.
Fast microprocessor interface.
Data access times of 57 ns make the parts compatible with
modern 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors and digital signal
processors. Key digital timing parameters are tested and
guaranteed over the full operating temperature range.
