GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7818 and AD7817 are 10-bit, single- and 4-channel
A/D converters with on-chip temperature sensor that can operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply. Each part contains a 9 µs successive-approximation converter based around
a capacitor DAC, an on-chip temperature sensor with an accuracy of ± 2°C, an on-chip clock oscillator, inherent track-andhold functionality and an on-chip reference (2.5 V). The
AD7816 is a temperature monitoring only device in a SOIC/
µSOIC package.
The on-chip temperature sensor of the AD7817 and AD7818
can be accessed via Channel 0. When Channel 0 is selected and
a conversion is initiated, the resulting ADC code at the end of
the conversion gives a measurement of the ambient temperature
with a resolution of ±0.25°C. See Measuring Temperature section
of the data sheet.
The AD7816, AD7817, and AD7818 have a flexible serial
interface that allows easy interfacing to most microcontrollers.
The interface is compatible with the Intel 8051, Motorola
SPI™ and QSPI™ protocols and National Semiconductors
MICROWIRE™ protocol. For more information refer to the
Serial Interface section of this data sheet.
The AD7817 is available in a narrow body 0.15" 16-lead Small
Outline IC (SOIC), in a 16-lead, Thin Shrink Small Outline
Package (TSSOP), while the AD7816/AD7818 come in an
8-lead Small Outline IC (SOIC) and an 8-lead microsmall
Outline IC (µSOIC).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The devices have an on-chip temperature sensor that allows an
accurate measurement of the ambient temperature to be
made. The measurable temperature range is –55°C to +125°C.
2. An over-temperature indicator is implemented by carrying
out a digital comparison of the ADC code for Channel 0
(temperature sensor) with the contents of the on-chip overtemperature register. The over-temperature indicator pin goes
logic low when a predetermined temperature is exceeded.
3. The automatic power-down feature enables the AD7816,
AD7817, and AD7818 to achieve superior power performance at slower throughput rates, e.g., 40 µW at 1 kSPS
throughput rate.
