Analog Devices AD7771 Product Info

The AD7771 is an 8-channel, simultaneous sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Eight full Σ-Δ ADCs are on-chip. The AD7771 provides an ultralow input current to allow direct sensor connection. Each input channel has a programmable gain stage allowing gains of 1, 2, 4, and 8 to map lower amplitude sensor outputs into the full-scale ADC input range, maximizing the dynamic range of the signal chain. The AD7771 accepts a V_REF voltage from 1 V up to 3.6 V. The analog inputs accept unipolar (0 V to V_REF) or true bipolar (±V_REF/2 V) analog input signals with 3.3 V or ±1.65 V analog supply voltages, respectively. The analog inputs can be configured to accept true differential or single-ended signals to match different sensor output configurations.

Each channel contains an ADC modulator and a sinc3/sinc5, low latency digital filter. A sample rate converter (SRC) is provided to allow fine resolution control over the AD7771 output data rate (ODR). This control can be used in applications where the ODR resolution is required to maintain coherency with 0.01 Hz changes in the line frequency. The SRC is programmable through the serial port interface (SPI). The AD7771 implements two different interfaces: a data output interface and SPI control interface. The ADC data output interface is dedicated to transmitting the ADC conversion results from the AD7771 to the processor. The SPI writes to and reads from the AD7771 configuration registers and for the control and reading of data from the successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The SPI can also be configured to output the Σ-Δ conversion data.

The AD7771 includes a 12-bit SAR ADC. This ADC can be used for AD7771 diagnostics without having to decommission one of the Σ-Δ ADC channels dedicated to system measurement functions. With the use of an external multiplexer, which can be controlled through the three general-purpose input/out
