22-Bit Data Acquisition System
There are 22 bits of data corresponding to the analog input.
Two bits contain the channel address and 3 bits are the device
address. Thus, each channel in a 32-channel system would have
a discrete 5-bit address. The device also has a CASCOUT pin
and a CASCIN pin that allow simple networking of multiple
devices.
The on-chip control register is programmed using the SCLK,
SDATA and
TFS pins. Three bits of the Control Register set
the digital filter cutoff frequency for the device. Selectable fre-
quencies are 584 Hz, 292 Hz, 146 Hz, 73 Hz and 36.5 Hz. A
further 2 bits appear as outputs D
OUT
1 and D
OUT
2 and can be
used for controlling calibration at the front end. The device is
available in a 44-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flatpack) and 44-pin
PLCC.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7716 is a signal processing block for data acquisition
systems. It is capable of processing four channels with band-
widths of up to 584 Hz. Resolution is 22 bits and the usable
dynamic range varies from 111 dB with an input bandwidth of
36.5 Hz to 99 dB with an input bandwidth of 584 Hz.
The device consists of four separate A/D converter channels that
are implemented using sigma-delta technology. Sigma-delta
ADCs include on-chip digital filtering and, thus, the system
filtering requirements are eased.
Three address pins program the device address. This allows a
data acquisition system with up to 32 channels to be set up in a
simple fashion. The output word from the device contains 32
bits of data. One bit is determined by the state of the D
IN
1 in-
put and may be used, for example, in an ECG system with an
external pacemaker detect circuit to indicate that the output
word is invalid because of the presence of a pacemaker pulse.
