The AD7854/AD7854L is a high speed, low power, 12-bit ADC that operates from a single 3 V or 5 V power supply, the AD7854 being optimized for speed and the AD7854L for low power. The ADC powers up with a set of default conditions at which time it can be operated as a read-only ADC. The ADC contains self-calibration and system calibration options to ensure accurate operation over time and temperature and has a number of power-down options for low power applications.

The AD7854 is capable of 200 kHz throughput rate while the AD7854L is capable of 100 kHz throughput rate. The input track-and-hold acquires a signal in 500 ns and features a pseudo-differential sampling scheme. The AD7854 and AD7854L input voltage range is 0 to V_REF (unipolar) and -V_REF/2 to +V_REF/2, centered at V_REF/2 (bipolar). The coding is straight binary in unipolar mode and twos complement in bipolar mode. Input signal range is to the supply and the part is capable of converting full-power signals to 100 kHz.

CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation of typically 5.4 mW for normal operation and 3.6 µW in power-down mode. The part is available in 28-pin, 0.6 inch wide dual-in-line package (DIP), 28-lead small outline (SOIC) and 28-lead small shrink outline (SSOP) packages.

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.
