GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD73281 is an 8-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 AD7328 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The
AD7328 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 AD7328 can be programmed to be
single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential.
The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The AD7328 also
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is applied
to the REFIN/OUT pin, the AD7328 can accept a true bipolar
±12 V analog input. Minimum ±12 V V
and VSS supplies are
DD
required for the ±12 V input range. The ADC has a high speed
serial interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.

Transient currents of up to 100 mA do not cause SCR latch-up.
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
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.

Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7328. The DGND and AGND
voltages should ideally 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 AD7328. All analog input signals
and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND voltages
should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.

Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the
AD7328. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at the pin. A 680 nF capacitor
should be placed on the reference pin. 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

Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.
Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 7. 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 ADD2
through Bit ADD0 in the control register. The inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs,
four true differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven 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 program-
ming the range registers. 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
