GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD73521 is a dual, 12-bit, high speed, low power, successive

approximation ADC that operates from a single 2.5 V power

supply and features throughput rates up to 3 MSPS. The part

contains two ADCs, each preceded by a low noise, wide band-

width track-and-hold circuit that can handle input frequencies

in excess of 110 MHz.

The conversion process and data acquisition use standard

control inputs allowing for easy interfacing to microprocessors

or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CS;

and a conversion is also initiated at this point. The conversion

time is determined by the SCLK frequency.

The AD7352 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very

low power dissipation at high throughput rates. With a 2.5 V

supply and a 3 MSPS throughput rate, the part consumes 10 mA

typically. The part also offers a flexible power/throughput rate

management options.

The analog input range for the part is the differential common-

that can be overdriven when an external reference is preferred.

The AD7352 is available in a 16-lead thin shrink small outline

package (TSSOP).

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1.

Two Complete ADC Functions.

These functions allow simultaneous sampling and conversion

of two channels. The conversion result of both channels is

simultaneously available on separate data lines or in suc-

cession on one data line if only one serial port is available.

2.

High Throughput With Low Power Consumption.

The AD7352 offers a 3 MSPS throughput rate with 26 mW

power consumption.

3.

No Conversion Latency.

The AD7352 features two standard successive approx-

imation ADCs with accurate control of the sampling

instant via a CS input and, once off, conversion control.
