GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7457 is a 12-bit, low power, successive approximation
(SAR) analog-to-digital converter that features a pseudo
differential analog input. This part operates from a single 2.7 V
to 5.25 V power supply and features throughput rates of up to
100 kSPS.
The part contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, differential
track-and-hold amplifier (T/H) that can handle input
frequencies in excess of 1 MHz. The reference voltage for the
AD7457 is applied externally to the V
REF
pin and can range from
100 mV to V
DD
, depending on what suits the application.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using CS and the serial clock, allowing the device to interface
with microprocessors or DSPs.
The SAR architecture of this part ensures that there are no
pipeline delays.
The AD7457 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
2.
Operation with 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supplies.
Low power consumption. With a 3 V supply, the AD7457
offers 0.9 mW maximum power consumption for a
100 kSPS throughput rate.
Pseudo differential analog input.
Flexible power/serial clock speed management. The
conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing
the power to be reduced as the conversion time is reduced
through the serial clock speed increase. Automatic power-
down after conversion allows the average power
consumption to be reduced.
Variable voltage reference input.
No pipeline delay.
Accurate control of the sampling instance via the CS input
and once-off conversion control.
ENOB > 10 bits typically with 500 mV reference.

The timing specifications are guaranteed by characterization. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of V
DD
) and timed from a voltage level of
1.6 V. See Figure 2 and the Serial Interface section.
2
Mark/space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.
3
Measured with the load circuit of Figure 3 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V with V
DD
= 5 V, and the time required for the output to
cross 0.4 V or 2.0 V for V
DD
= 3 V.
4
t
8
is derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 3. The measured number is then extrapolated
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 25 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t
8
, quoted in the timing characteristics, is the true bus relinquish
time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.
