Richardson RFPD Converter - ADC EVAL-AD7401EDZ

The AD74011 is a second-order, sigma-delta (S-?) modulator that converts an analog input signal into a high speed, 1-bit data stream with on-chip digital isolation based on Analog Devices, Inc. iCoupler® technology. The AD7401 operates from a 5 V power supply and accepts a differential input signal of ±200 mV (±320 mV full scale). The analog input is continuously sampled by the analog modulator, eliminating the need for external sample-and-hold circuitry. The input information is contained in the output stream as a density of ones with a data rate up to 20 MHz. The original information can be reconstructed with an appropriate digital filter. The serial I/O can use a 5 V or a 3 V supply (VDD2). The serial interface is digitally isolated. High speed CMOS, combined with monolithic air core transformer technology, means the on-chip isolation provides outstanding performance characteristics, superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices. The part contains an on-chip reference. The AD7401 is offered in a 16-lead SOIC and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.An internal clock version, AD7400, is also available. 1Protected by U.S. Patents 5,952,849; 6,873,065; and 7,075,329.
