The AD7477SRT-R2 is a precision, low power, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) integrated circuit (IC) component. It is manufactured by Analog Devices, a renowned semiconductor company.
This ADC offers a resolution of 12 bits, which means it can convert an analog input voltage into a digital output with a resolution of 1 part in 4096. The AD7477SRT-R2 has a wide input voltage range, allowing it to accurately convert signals in the range of -Vref to +Vref, where Vref is the reference voltage set by the user.
One of the notable features of this IC component is its low power consumption. It operates from a single power supply in the range of 2.7V to 3.6V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices and other low-power applications. The ADC provides a power-down mode to reduce the power consumption when not in active use.
The AD7477SRT-R2 incorporates a SAR architecture, which ensures very low noise and high accuracy in the converted digital output. This architecture allows the conversion process to be performed quickly and efficiently, with a maximum conversion rate of 1.5 MSPS (Mega Samples Per Second). It also provides a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a low total harmonic distortion (THD)
