GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7991/AD7995/AD7999 are 12-/10-/8-bit, low power,
successive approximation ADCs with an I
2
C®-compatible interface.
Each part operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and
features a 1 µs conversion time. The track-and-hold amplifier
allows each part to handle input frequencies of up to 14 MHz,
and a multiplexer allows taking samples from four channels.
Each AD7991/AD7995/AD7999 provides a 2-wire serial
interface compatible with I
2
C interfaces. The AD7991 and
AD7995 come in two versions and each version has an
individual I
2
C address. This allows two of the same devices to be
connected to the same I
2
C bus. Both versions support standard,
fast, and high speed I
2
C interface modes. The AD7999 comes in
one version.
The AD7991/AD7995/AD7999 normally remain in a shutdown
state, powering up only for conversions. The conversion process
is controlled by a command mode, during which each I
2
C read
operation initiates a conversion and returns the result over the
I
2
C bus.
When four channels are used as analog inputs, the reference for
the part is taken from V
DD
; this allows the widest dynamic input
range to the ADC. Therefore, the analog input range to the
ADC is 0 V to V
DD
. An external reference, applied through the
V
IN3
/V
REF
input, can also be used with this part.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Four single-ended analog input channels, or three single-
ended analog input channels and one reference input channel.
2. I
2
C-compatible serial interface. Standard, fast, and high
speed modes.
3. Automatic shutdown.
4. Reference derived from the power supply or external
reference.
5. 8-lead SOT-23 package.
