AN-607: Selecting a Low Bandwidth (<15 kSPS) Sigma-Delta ADC

Introduction

Analog Devices, Inc., has a wide range of low bandwidth, high resolution Σ-Δ ADCs. Along with the ADC, these devices contain current sources, a multiplexer, a PGA, and analog input buffers on-board. This application note identifies some of the applications in which the ADCs are used and also identifies the most suitable ADCs for each application.
