The AD7713 is a complete analog front end for low frequency measurement applications. The device accepts low level signals directly from a transducer or high level signals (4 × V_REF ) and outputs a serial digital word. It employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The input signal is applied to a proprietary programmable gain front end based around an analog modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-chip digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed via the on-chip control register allowing adjustment of the filter cutoff and settling time.

The part features two differential analog inputs and one single-ended high level analog input as well as a differential reference input. It can be operated from a single supply (AV_DD and DV_DD at +5 V). The part provides two current sources which can be used to provide excitation in three-wire and four-wire RTD configurations. The AD7713 thus performs all signal conditioning and conversion for a single, dual or three-channel system.

The AD7713 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller-based systems. Gain settings, signal polarity and RTD current control can be configured in software using the bidirectional serial port. The AD7713 contains self-calibration, system calibration and background calibration options and also allows the user to read and to write the on-chip calibration registers.

CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation and a hardware programmable power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to only 150 µW typical. The part is available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch wide, plastic and hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP) as well as a 24-lead small outline (SOIC) package.

At least one model within this product family is in production and available for purchase. The product is appropriate for new designs but newer alternatives may exist.
