GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7792/AD7793 are low power, low noise, complete
analog front ends for high precision measurement applications.
The AD7792/AD7793 contain a low noise 16-/24-bit ∑-Δ ADC
with three differential analog inputs. The on-chip, low noise
instrumentation amplifier means that signals of small amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC. With a gain
setting of 64, the rms noise is 40 nV when the update rate
equals 4.17 Hz.
The devices contain a precision low noise, low drift internal
band gap reference and can accept an external differential
reference. Other on-chip features include programmable
excitation current sources, burnout currents, and a bias voltage
generator. The bias voltage generator sets the common-mode
voltage of a channel to AVDD/2.
The devices can be operated with either the internal clock or an
external clock. The output data rate from the parts is softwareprogrammable and can be varied from 4.17 Hz to 470 Hz.
The parts operate with a power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
They consume a current of 400 μA typical and are housed in a
16-lead TSSOP package.
