AD7894ARZ-10

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The AD7894ARZ-10 is a 14-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter housed in an 8-lead SOIC package. It operates from a single +5 V supply and features an on-chip track/hold amplifier with a conversion time of 5 µs. The device accepts bipolar analog input signals within the range of -10 V to +10 V. It utilizes a high-speed two-wire serial interface for data output, supporting throughput rates up to 160 kHz. The component consumes typically 20 mW during operation and includes an automatic power-down mode to reduce energy usage between conversions.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrated signal scaling circuitry enables direct interfacing with ±10 V analog sources without external conditioning components.
• On-chip track/hold amplifier ensures accurate sampling of high-frequency signals by maintaining signal integrity during the conversion cycle.
• Two-wire serial interface simplifies digital connection to microprocessors or DSPs using standard clock and data lines.
• Automatic power-down functionality allows the device to enter low-power standby immediately after conversion completion.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring low power consumption
• Industrial process control systems utilizing bipolar voltage sensors
• Data acquisition modules for environmental monitoring

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '10' corresponds to the required ±10 V input range before ordering. Confirm that the system design accommodates the 8-lead SOIC package dimensions and thermal requirements. Ensure the external reference voltage connected to REF IN is stable at +2.5 V to maintain specified accuracy levels.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this model when a bipolar input range of ±10 V is necessary. Compare against AD7894BR-10 if tighter linearity specifications are required. Consider the AD7894-3 or AD7894-2 variants if the application involves smaller voltage ranges such as ±2.5 V or 0 V to +2.5 V respectively.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context
