GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7890 is an eight-channel 12-bit data acquisition system.
The part contains an input multiplexer, an on-chip track/hold
amplifier, a high-speed 12-bit ADC, a 2.5 V reference and a
high speed, serial interface. The part operates from a single 5 V
supply and accepts an analog input range of ±10 V (AD7890-10),
0 V to 4.096 V (AD7890-4) and 0 V to 2.5 V (AD7890-2).
The multiplexer on the part is independently accessible. This
allows the user to insert an antialiasing filter or signal conditioning,
if required, between the multiplexer and the ADC. This means
that one antialiasing filter can be used for all eight channels.
Connection of an external capacitor allows the user to adjust the
time given to the multiplexer settling to include any external
delays in the filter or signal conditioning circuitry.
Output data from the AD7890 is provided via a high-speed
bidirectional serial interface port. The part contains an on-chip
control register, allowing control of channel selection, conversion start and power-down via the serial port. Versatile, high
speed logic ensures easy interfacing to serial ports on microcontrollers and digital signal processors.
In addition to the traditional dc accuracy specifications such as
linearity, full-scale and offset errors, the AD7890 is also specified for dynamic performance parameters including harmonic
distortion and signal-to-noise ratio.

Power dissipation in normal mode is low at 30 mW typ and the
part can be placed in a standby (power-down) mode if it is not
required to perform conversions. The AD7890 is fabricated in
Analog Devices’ Linear Compatible CMOS (LC
a mixed technology process that combines precision bipolar
circuits with low power CMOS logic. The part is available in a
24-lead, 0.3" wide, plastic or hermetic dual-in-line package or in
a 24-lead small outline package (SOIC).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Complete 12-Bit Data Acquisition System-on-a-Chip
The AD7890 is a complete monolithic ADC combining an
eight-channel multiplexer, 12-bit ADC, 2.5 V reference and
a track/hold amplifier on a single chip.
2. Separate Access to Multiplexer and ADC
The AD7890 provides access to the output of the multiplexer
allowing one antialiasing filter for eight channels—a considerable saving over the eight antialiasing filters required if the
multiplexer was internally connected to the ADC.
3. High-Speed Serial Interface
The part provides a high-speed serial interface for easy connection to serial ports of microcontrollers and DSP processors.

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 the AD7890 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.

These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V.
6
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 1. The measured number is then
extrapolated back to remove effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the tim ing characteristics are the true bus
