AD7768-1
Data Sheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7768-1 is a low power, high performance, Σ-Δ analogto-digital converter (ADC), with a Σ-Δ modulator and digital
filter for precision conversion of both ac and dc signals. The
AD7768-1 is a single-channel version of the AD7768, an 8-channel,
simultaneously sampling, Σ-Δ ADC. The AD7768-1 provides a
single configurable and reusable data acquisition (DAQ) footprint,
which establishes a new industry standard in combined ac and
dc performance and enables instrumentation and industrial system
designers to design across multiple measurement variants for
both isolated and nonisolated applications.
The AD7768-1 achieves a 108.5 dB dynamic range when using
the low ripple, finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter at
256 kSPS, giving 110.8 kHz input bandwidth, combined with
±1.1 ppm integral nonlinearity (INL), ±30 µV offset error, and
±30 ppm gain error.
A wider bandwidth, up to 500 kHz Nyquist (filter −3 dB point
of 204 kHz), is available using the sinc5 filter, enabling a view of
signals over an extended range.
The AD7768-1 offers the user the flexibility to configure and
optimize for input bandwidth vs. output data rate (ODR) and vs.
power dissipation. The flexibility of the AD7768-1 allows
dynamic analysis of a changing input signal, making the device
particularly useful in general-purpose DAQ systems. The
selection of one of three available power modes allows the
designer to achieve required noise targets while minimizing
power consumption. The design of the AD7768-1 is unique in
that it becomes a reusable and flexible platform for low power
dc and high performance ac measurement modules.
The AD7768-1 achieves the optimum balance of dc and ac
performance with excellent power efficiency. The following
three operating modes allow the user to trade off the input
bandwidth vs. power budgets:
•
•
•
Fast mode offers both a sinc filter with up to 256 kSPS and
52.2 kHz of bandwidth, and 26.4 mW of power consumption,
or a FIR filter with up to 256 kSPS, 110.8 kHz of bandwidth
and 36.8 mW of power consumption.
Median mode offers a FIR filter with up to 128 kSPS, 55.4 kHz
of bandwidth and 19.7 mW of power consumption.
Low power mode offers a FIR filter with up to 32 kSPS,
13.85 kHz of bandwidth and 6.75 mW of power consumption.
The AD7768-1 offers extensive digital filtering capabilities that
meet a wide range of system requirements. The filter options
allow configuration for frequency domain measurements with
tight gain error over frequency, linear phase response requirements
(brick wall filter), a low latency path (sinc5 or sinc3) for use
in control loop applications, and measuring dc inputs with the
ability to configure the sinc3 filter to reject the line frequency of
either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. All filters offer programmable decimation.
A 1.024 MHz sinc5 filter path exists for users seeking an even
higher ODR than is achievable using the low ripple FIR filter.
This path is quantization noise limited. Therefore, it is best
suited for customers requiring minimum latency for control
loops or implementing custom digital filtering on an external
field programmable gate array (FPGA) or digital signal
processor (DSP).
The filter options include the following:
•
•
•
A low ripple FIR filter with a ±0.005 dB pass-band ripple to
102.4 kHz.
A low latency sinc5 filter with up to a 1.024 MHz data rate
to maximize control loop responsiveness.
A low latency sinc3 filter that is fully programmable, with
50 Hz/60 Hz rejection capabilities.
When using the AD7768-1, embedded analog functionality
within the AD7768-1 greatly reduces the design burden over the
entire application range. The precharge buffer on each analog
input decreases the analog input current compared to
competing products, simplifying the task of an external
amplifier to drive the analog input.
A full buffer input on the reference reduces the input current,
providing a high impedance input for the external reference
device or in buffering any reference sense resistor scenarios
used in ratiometric measurements.
The device operates with a 5.0 V AVDD1 − AVSS supply, a 2.0 V
to 5.0 V AVDD2 − AVSS supply, and a 1.8 V to 3.3 V IOVDD −
DGND supply.
In low power mode, the AVDD1, AVDD2, and IOVDD supplies
can run from a single 3.0 V rail.
The device requires an external reference. The absolute input
reference (REFIN) voltage range is 1 V to AVDD1 − AVSS.
The specified operating temperature range is −40°C to +125°C.
The device is housed in a 4 mm × 5 mm, 28-lead LFCSP.
Note that, throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such
as XTAL2/MCLK, are referred to either by the entire pin name
or by a single function of the pin, for example, MCLK, when
only that function is relevant.
