Data Acquisition technology is primary used in applications that require the transfer of analog signals into digital form. Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) are used in these digitizing systems. The ADS7816PB from Analog Devices is an example of a high performance ADC that can convert analog signals into the digital domain with speed, accuracy and reliability. In this article, the application field and working principle of the ADS7816PB will be discussed.

Application Field

The ADS7816PB ADC is designed for applications like industrial control, instrumentation, consumer/ automotive, and medical applications. This ADC offers a fast accurate and convenient solution to analog signal conversion needs. For applications such as consumer and medical, this ADC will enable a quick transition from analog to digital signals. In consumer electronics the need for accurate signal conversion is increasing as more products require portability and wireless capabilities. The ADS7816PB provides a solution that is both fast and reliable.

In the industrial automation field, the ADS7816PB can provide the fast response time necessary for accurate data acquisition. Industrial machines require accurate and fast signal conversion in order to carry out their tasks accurately and quickly. The ADS7816PB offers a reliable solution for these applications.

In the medical field, the ADS7816PB is a precision ADC that can be used in applications requiring fast data acquisition such as medical imaging and patient monitoring. The ADS7816PB will enable accurate data acquisition and processing of patient information and medical images.

Working Principle

The ADS7816PB is an 8-bit successive approximation Analog to Digital Converter with a maximum sample rate of 2.3 Megasamples per second (Msps). It contains an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This DAC is used to compare the input voltage against a unipolar reference voltage. This reference voltage adjusts the resolution of the ADC. The accuracy of the ADC is enhanced by the use of an internal temperature compensation system. The ADS7816PB also features an analog multiplexer (MUX) for simultaneous sampling of up to 8 channels.

The ADC converts the analog signal into binary coded decimal (BCD) numbers representing the voltage level of the analog signal. The number of bits used in the ADC determines the resolution that can be obtained, for example an 8-bit ADC has one byte of resolution. A higher resolution provides more accuracy and therefore better performance.

The ADS7816PB also contains a clock generator that can be set to one of four different clock frequencies. This clock frequency determines the maximum sample rate of the converter and the total integrated noise of the device. Depending on the application the sample rate can be set to the minimum or maximum range, which helps reduce power consumption.

Once the conversion is completed, the results are transferred to an output register and then sent to an external device. The output register can be configured to produce a low-power CMOS compatible output, or it can be configured to provide an output with an active low state for faster response time.

In summary, the ADS7816PB is an 8-bit Analog to Digital Converter that can provide fast and accurate analog signal conversion for applications in industrial control, instrumentation, consumer/ automotive, and medical applications. The ADC contains several features such as a built-in temperature compensation system and an analog MUX providing simultaneous sampling of up to 8 channels. The DAC, clock generator, and output register all contribute to the performance of this ADC, providing a reliable and precise analog signal conversion solution.
