The AD7475AR is an IC (integrated circuit) component developed by Analog Devices. It is a 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that offers high precision and accuracy in converting analog signals into digital form. The device is commonly used in various applications such as industrial sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems.
Key features of the AD7475AR include:
1. Resolution: The ADC offers a 12-bit resolution, allowing it to distinguish one part in 4,096 levels. This results in highly accurate digital representations of analog signals.
2. Sampling Rate: The AD7475AR can sample analog input signals at a maximum conversion rate of 1.33 mega-samples per second (MSPS). This high-speed sampling enables real-time data acquisition.
3. Input Voltage Range: The device accepts analog input voltage in the range of 0V to Vref, where Vref represents the reference voltage set by the user. This flexibility allows interfacing with various input signal levels.
4. Low Power: The AD7475AR is designed to operate at low power consumption, making it suitable for applications where power efficiency is crucial. The device consumes approximately 2.5 milliwatts (mW) of power during normal operation.
5. Differential Input: The ADC offers a differential input architecture that enhances noise rejection and improves common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This feature enables accurate conversion of differential input signals, minimizing signal distortions
