AD7794/AD7795

RMS NOISE AND RESOLUTION SPECIFICATIONS
The AD7794/AD7795 can be operated with chop enabled or
chop disabled, allowing the ADC to be optimized for switching
time or drift performance. With chop enabled, the settling time
is two times the conversion time. However, the offset is
continuously removed by the ADC leading to low offset and low
offset drift. With chop disabled, the allowable update rates are
the same as in chop enable mode. However, the settling time
now equals the conversion time. With chop disabled, the offset
is not removed by the ADC, so periodic offset calibrations can
be required to remove offset due to drift.

External Reference
Table 5 shows the AD7794/AD7795 rms noise for some update
rates and gain settings. The numbers given are for the bipolar
input range with an external 2.5 V reference. These numbers are
typical and are generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V.
Table 6 and Tabl e 7 show the effective resolution, while the
output peak-to-peak (p-p) resolution is listed in brackets. It is
important to note that the effective resolution is calculated
using the rms noise, while the p-p resolution is calculated based
on peak-to-peak noise. The p-p resolution represents the
resolution for which there is no code flicker. These numbers are
typical and are rounded to the nearest LSB.
