The AD73231 is a 4-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive
approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS (industrial
CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage
silicon with submicron CMOS and complementary bipolar
technologies. It enables the development of a wide range of high
performance analog ICs capable of 33 V operation in a footprint
that no previous generation of high voltage parts could achieve.
Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS
components can accept bipolar input signals while providing
increased performance, dramatically reduced power
consumption, and reduced package size.
The AD7323 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The
AD7323 has four software selectable input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. Each analog input channel can be
independently programmed to one of the four input ranges.
The analog input channels on the AD7323 can be programmed
to be single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential.
The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The AD7323 also
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is
applied to the REFIN/OUT pin, the AD7323 can accept a true
bipolar ±12 V analog input. Minimum ±12 V V
and VSS
DD
supplies are required for the ±12 V input range. The ADC has a
high speed serial interface that can operate at throughput rates
up to 500 kSPS.
1. The AD7323 can accept true bipolar analog input signals,
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V unipolar signals.
2. The four analog inputs can be configured as four single-
ended inputs, two true differential input pairs, two pseudo
differential inputs, or three pseudo differential inputs.
3. 500 kSPS serial interface. SPI®-/QSPI™-/DSP-/MICROWIRE™-
compatible interface.
4. Low power, 17 mW, at a maximum throughput rate of
500 kSPS.
5. Channel sequencer.

Transient currents of up to 100 mA do not cause SCR latch-up.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

the AD7323 and frames the serial data transfer.
2 DIN
3, 15 DGND
Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the
register on the falling edge of SCLK (see the
Registers section).
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7323. The DGND and AGND
voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a
transient basis.
4 AGND
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7323. All analog input signals
and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND
voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a
transient basis.
5 REFIN/OUT
Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the
AD7323. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at this pin. A 680 nF capacitor
should be placed on the reference pin (see the
Reference section). Alternatively, the internal reference
can be disabled and an external reference applied to this input. On power-up, the external reference
mode is the default condition.
6 VSS Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.
7, 8, 10, 9 VIN0 to VIN3
Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 3. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold.
The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the Channel Address Bit ADD1
and Bit ADD0 in the control register. The inputs can be configured as four single-ended inputs, two true
differential input pairs, two pseudo differential inputs, or three pseudo differential inputs. The configuration of the analog inputs is selected by programming the mode bits, Bit Mode 1 and Bit Mode 0, in
the control register. The input range on each input channel is controlled by programming the range
register. Input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V can be selected on each analog input
channel when a +2.5 V reference voltage is used (see the
Registers section).
11 VDD Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.
12 VCC
Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC core on the AD7323.
This supply should be decoupled to AGND.

Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface
operates. This pin should be decoupled to DGND. The voltage at this pin may be different to that at V
