GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7790 is a low power, complete analog front end for
low frequency measurement applications. It contains a low
noise 16-bit ∑-∆ ADC with one differential input that can be
buffered or unbuffered along with a digital PGA, which allows
gains of 1, 2, 4, and 8.

The device operates from an internal clock. Therefore, the user
does not have to supply a clock source to the device. The output
data rate from the part is software programmable and can be
varied from 9.5 Hz to 120 Hz, with the rms noise equal to

1.1 µV at the lower update rate. The internal clock frequency
can be divided by a factor of 2, 4, or 8, which leads to a reduc­tion in the current consumption. The update rate, cutoff
frequency, and settling time will scale with the clock frequency.

The part operates with a power supply from 2.5 V to 5.25 V.
When operating from a 3 V supply, the power dissipation for
the part is 225 µW maximum. It is housed in a 10-lead MSOP.

(B Version)

1

Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.

2

See Figure 3 and Figure 4.

3

These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.

4

SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK.

5

These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then

extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus
relinquish times of the part and, as such, are independent of external bus loading capacitances.

6

RDY

returns high after a read of the ADC. In single conversion mode and continuous conversion mode, the same data can be read again, if required, while
although care should be taken to ensure that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update. In continuous read mode, the digital word can be read
only once.
