Analog Devices' 24-bit sigma-delta A/D converter achieves twice the speed of competing converters and industry's best noise performance
Analog Devices has introduced a multiplexed 24-bit sigma-delta A/D converter that doubles the throughput rate of alternative sigma-delta converters while dissipating less power.
Designed for process automation and instrumentation systems where data channel density is increasing and channels must be monitored faster, ADI’s new AD7176-2 A/D converter achieves a 50 kSPS (thousand samples per second) multi-channel scan rate.
In an automated, high-precision production line, the performance of the AD7176-2 allows for faster manufacturing while achieving the precision, low-input bandwidth signal measurements that are inherently associated with the sigma-delta architecture. Measured on a single channel, the AD7176-2 delivers as many as 17.2 noise-free bits at 250 kSPS and 22 noise-free bits at 5 SPS.

The AD7176-2 A/D converter includes high-precision, on-chip peripherals, including a 2.5 V, ±2.5 ppm/°C reference and ±2.5% internal oscillator that reduce board space and lower bill of materials costs while maintaining high performance. The new converter features flexible on-chip digital filters, which optimise settling, resolution and line frequency rejection. The new converter also can be configured on a per-channel basis allowing for different filter and output data rates as well as per-channel offset and gain error correction.
AD7176-2 24-bit Sigma-Delta A/D Converter Key Features:
- 5 SPS to 250 kSPS output rate for fast and flexible updates
- 17.2 noise free bits at 250 kSPS for more accurate measurements
- Up to 90 dB 50 Hz and 60 Hz line frequency rejection using enhanced 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection filters
- 7.8 mA total current consumption
- Supplied in a 24-lead TSSOP package
Complementary Products
The AD7176-2 can be designed into circuits together with ADI’s single-supply, low-noise, low-offset AD8656 CMOS amplifier and single supply, attenuating input stage, AD8475 differential driver.
