AD9216BCPZ-105

The AD9216BCPZ-105 is an Integrated Circuits (IC) component in the Data Acquisition - Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) family of products. It is an industrial-grade, 10-bit successive-approximation, 16-channel analog-to-digital converter that has been designed to provide an economical solution for multiplexing analog signals and digitizing them for output. This integrated circuit is designed to accept a variety of input signal types and can convert analog signals into digital formats in real time.

The AD9216BCPZ-105 supports both single-ended and differential analog inputs, making it ideal for use in a variety of industrial and research applications. Its single-ended input range is -2V to +2V and the differential input range is is -2V to +2V. The device has a maximum sampling rate of 1.1MSps and a max output speed of 16Mbits/second. Its power consumption is typically 5.5mA at 3.3V.

The main application field of the AD9216BCPZ-105 is in data acquisition systems that require the integration of separate analog signals into one digital format. It is frequently used in industrial, automotive, and scientific applications because it is efficient and accurate. It can be used to provide data from sensors or transducers that measure pressure, temperature, flow, and other similar measurements. It is also useful for high-resolution video acquisition and for automation systems that require the integration of multiple signals.

The working principle of the AD9216BCPZ-105 is based on successive approximation technique. It performs a successive comparison of analog input against stored reference values and propagates the result to a digital output. This process is repeated until the analog input is accurately measured. The chip takes advantage of an analog to digital (A/D) converter that uses an 8-bit R-2-R DAC ladder, an 8-bit SAR register, and other supporting components following a conventional 4-step successive approximation ADC process.

The four stages in the process are: a reference initialization step, a top-half comparison step, a bottom-half comparison step, and a result conversion step. During the reference initialization step, the internal DAC is powered up and initialized to mid-scale. Then, in the top-half comparison step, the MSBs of the analog input signal are compared against the DAC. This comparison is repeated until the exact value is determined. At this stage, the number of bits cleared will be equal to the number of MSBs compared. Finally, in the bottom-half comparison, the least significant bits (LSBs) of the analog input signal are iteratively compared against the DAC until all the LSBs are determined.

In the result conversion step, the most significant byte (MSB) determined in the top-half comparison step is written to the SAR phase, while the remaining bytes are written successively with each bottom-half comparison result. After completion, the result is written to the result register, thus completing the conversion process.

The AD9216BCPZ-105 is a powerful and reliable tool for integrating multiple analog signals into digital formats. With its fast conversion rate, high accuracy, and efficient power usage, it is an ideal choice for a variety of industrial and research applications. Its wide operating temperature range and low noise make it an ideal choice for high-precision data acquisition.
