The AD7854LAR is a highly integrated, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for precision data acquisition applications. It is a low power, dual-channel chip that combines the functions of both ADC and multiplexer, making it suitable for space-constrained systems.
One of the key features of the AD7854LAR is its high resolution of 14 bits, allowing it to accurately convert analog signals into digital data. This high resolution makes it ideal for applications requiring precise measurements, such as industrial automation, medical equipment, and scientific instruments.
Another notable feature is its dual-channel capability, which enables simultaneous sampling and conversion of two analog signals. This feature is particularly useful in applications where multiple channels need to be monitored or controlled simultaneously.
The AD7854LAR also offers a wide input voltage range for each channel, allowing it to handle different signal levels without the need for external signal conditioning. This flexibility simplifies the design process and reduces overall system complexity.
To cater to various application requirements, this IC offers programmable input ranges, allowing the user to select the desired voltage range for each channel independently. These programmable input ranges enhance the device's versatility and make it compatible with a wide range of sensor types.
The AD7854LAR includes an integrated multiplexer that enables the selection of different input channels for conversion. This multiplexer functionality eliminates the need for external components, saving both cost and board space in the overall system design
