GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7986 is an 18-bit, 2 MSPS successive approximation,
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It contains a low power,
high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock,
an internal reference (and buffer), error correction circuits, and
a versatile serial interface port. On the rising edge of CNV, the
AD7986 samples the voltage difference between the IN+ and
IN− pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite
phases between 0 V and V
REF
. It features a very high sampling
rate turbo mode (TURBO = high) and a reduced power normal
mode (TURBO = low) for low power applications where the
power is scaled with the throughput.
In normal mode (TURBO = low), the SPI-compatible serial
interface also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-
chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and provide an
optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 2.7 V
using the separate VIO supply.
The AD7986 is available in a 20-lead LFCSP (QFN) with
operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.
