The AD4050/AD4056 are versatile, 12-bit, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that enable low-power, high-density data acquisition solutions without sacrificing precision. These ADCs offer a unique balance of performance and power efficiency, plus innovative features for seamlessly switching between high-resolution and low-power modes tailored to the immediate needs of the system. The AD4050/AD4056 are ideal for battery-powered, compact data acquisition and edge sensing applications.
The Easy Drive features enable highly efficient analog front end (AFE) designs. The small sampling capacitors (3.4 pF) maximize input impedance, thus reducing the dependence on high-bandwidth, power-hungry amplifiers typically required by SAR ADCs. The wide input common-mode range grants inherent support for both differential and single-ended signals.
The AD4050/AD4056 support microcontrollers with power-down modes and interrupt-driven firmware. The autonomous modes enable out-of-range event detection while the digital host sleeps. The averaging modes deliver on-demand, high-resolution measurements while offloading computations from the host processor. The self timed device enable signal (DEV_EN) synchronizes AFE device power cycling to the ADC sampling instant, optimizing system power consumption while minimizing power-up settling error artifacts. The AD4050/AD4056 also support power cycling the voltage reference and using the supply as the ADC reference voltage (VREF) for additional power savings.
The device configuration and ADC data readback are supported via a robust, 4-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI) with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) supported for all data transfers. The AD4050/AD4056 are available in compact LFCSP and WLCSP packages and operate across a wide temperature range, making them ideal for a diverse set of applications.
