GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7862 is a high speed, low power, dual 12-bit A/D
converter that operates from a single +5 V supply. The part
contains two 4 µs successive approximation ADCs, two track/
hold amplifiers, an internal +2.5 V reference and a high speed
parallel interface. There are four analog inputs that are grouped
into two channels (A & B) selected by the A0 input. Each
channel has two inputs (VA1 & VA2 or VB1 & VB2) that can be
sampled and converted simultaneously thus preserving the
relative phase information of the signals on both analog inputs.
The part accepts an analog input range of ± 10 V (AD7862-10),
± 2.5 V (AD7862-3) and 0–2.5 V (AD7862-2). Overvoltage
protection on the analog inputs for the part allows the input
voltage to go to ± 17 V, ± 7 V or +7 V, respectively, without
causing damage.
A single conversion start signal (CONVST) places both track/
holds into hold simultaneously and initiates conversion on both
inputs. The BUSY signal indicates the end of conversion, and
at this time the conversion results for both channels are available to be read. The first read after a conversion accesses the
result from VA1 or VB1, while the second read accesses the result
from VA2 or VB2, depending on whether the multiplexer select
A0 is low or high, respectively. Data is read from the part via a
12-bit parallel data bus with standard CS and RD signals.
In addition to the traditional dc accuracy specifications such as
linearity, full-scale and offset errors, the part is also specified for
dynamic performance parameters including harmonic distortion
and signal-to-noise ratio.

The AD7862 is fabricated in Analog Devices’ Linear Compatible CMOS (LC2MOS) process, a mixed technology process
that combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS
logic. It is available in 28-lead SSOP, SOIC and DIP.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7862 features two complete ADC functions allowing
simultaneous sampling and conversion of two channels. Each
ADC has a 2-channel input mux. The conversion result for
both channels is available 3.6 µs after initiating conversion.
2. The AD7862 operates from a single +5 V supply and
consumes 60 mW typ. The automatic power-down mode,
where the part goes into power down once conversion is
complete and “wakes up” before the next conversion cycle,
makes the AD7862 ideal for battery-powered or portable
applications.
3. The part offers a high speed parallel interface for easy connection to microprocessors, microcontrollers and digital
signal processors.
4. The part is offered in three versions with different analog
input ranges. The AD7862-10 offers the standard industrial
input range of ± 10 V; the AD7862-3 offers the common
signal processing input range of ±2.5 V; while the AD7862-2
can be used in unipolar 0 V – +2.5 V applications.
5. The part features very tight aperture delay matching between
the two input sample-and-hold amplifiers.
