GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7683 is a 16-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, PulSAR® analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
that operates from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.7 V
and 5.5 V. It contains a low power, high speed, 16-bit sampling
ADC with no missing codes (B grade), an internal conversion
clock, and a serial, SPI-compatible interface port. The part also
contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short aperture delay,
track-and-hold circuit. On the

can be set up to the supply voltage. Its power scales linearly with
throughput.
The AD7683 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP or an 8-lead QFN
(LFCSP) package, with an operating temperature specified from
