The AD7820KRZ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Analog Devices, Inc. It is a high-speed, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that provides accurate conversion of analog signals into digital format. Here are some key features of the AD7820KRZ:
1. High-Speed Conversion: The AD7820KRZ is designed for fast conversion with a maximum conversion time of 2.5 microseconds. This quick conversion time makes it suitable for applications requiring real-time sampling and high-speed data acquisition.
2. 8-Bit Resolution: The AD7820KRZ offers an 8-bit resolution, providing 256 different digital output codes for the range of analog input voltages. This resolution is sufficient for many applications that require moderate accuracy.
3. Single-Ended Input Channels: It features eight single-ended input channels, allowing the conversion of multiple analog signals simultaneously. These channels can be multiplexed to a single ADC converter, reducing the overall component count in the circuit and saving space.
4. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL): The AD7820KRZ has low DNL, which ensures excellent linearity of the conversion process. This feature minimizes distortion and provides accurate digital representations of the input analog signals.
5. On-Chip Track-and-Hold: This IC includes an on-chip track-and-hold function that samples the analog signal accurately, even at high conversion speeds
