GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7874 is a four-channel simultaneous sampling, 12-bit
data acquisition system. The part contains a high speed 12-bit
ADC, on-chip reference, on-chip clock and four track/hold amplifiers. This latter feature allows the four input channels to be
sampled simultaneously, thus preserving the relative phase
information of the four input channels, which is not possible if
all four channels share a single track/hold amplifier. This makes
the AD7874 ideal for applications such as phased-array sonar
and ac motor controllers where the relative phase information is
important.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The aperture delay of the four track/hold amplifiers is small and
specified with minimum and maximum limits. This allows several AD7874s to sample multiple input channels simultaneously
without incurring phase errors between signals connected to
several devices. A reference output/reference input facility also
allows several AD7874s to be driven from the same reference
source.
2. Tight Aperture Delay Matching.
The aperture delay for each channel is small and the aperture
delay matching between the four channels is less than 4 ns.
Additionally, the aperture delay specification has upper and
lower limits allowing multiple AD7874s to sample more than
four channels.
In addition to the traditional dc accuracy specifications such as
linearity, full-scale and offset errors, the AD7874 is also fully
specified for dynamic performance parameters including distortion and signal-to-noise ratio.

1. Simultaneous Sampling of Four Input Channels.
Four input channels, each with its own track/hold amplifier,
allow simultaneous sampling of input signals. Track/hold acquisition time is 2 µs, and the conversion time per channel is
8 µs, allowing 29 kHz sample rate for all four channels.
3. Fast Microprocessor Interface.
The high speed digital interface of the AD7874 allows direct
connection to all modern 16-bit microprocessors and digital
signal processors.
The AD7874 is fabricated in Analog Devices’ Linear Compatible CMOS (LC2MOS) process, a mixed technology process
that combines precision bipolar circuits with low-power CMOS
logic. The part is available in a 28-pin, 0.6" wide, plastic or hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP), in a 28-terminal leadless ceramic chip carrier (LCCC) and in a 28-pin SOIC.
