DESCRIPTION
The ADS7870
(1)
is a complete low-power data acquisi-
tion system on a single chip. It consists of a 4-channel
differential/8-channel single-ended multiplexer, preci-
sion programmable gain amplifier, 12-bit successive
approximation analog-to-digital converter and a preci-
sion voltage reference.
The programmable-gain amplifier provides high input
impedance, excellent gain accuracy, good common-
mode rejection, and low noise.
For many low-level signals, no external amplification or
impedance buffering is needed between the signal
source and the A/D input.

The offset voltage of the PGA is auto zeroed. Gains of
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16 and 20V/V provide 16-bit dynamic
range and allow signals as low as 125mV to produce full
scale digital outputs.
The ADS7870 contains an internal reference, which is
trimmed for high initial accuracy and stability vs tem-
perature. Drift is typically 10ppm/°C. An external refer-
ence can be used in situations where multiple ADS7870s
share a common reference.
The serial interface allows the use of SPI™, QSPI™,
Microwire™, and 8051-family protocols, without glue
logic.
