The AD7606BSTZ is a 16-bit synchronous sampling analog-to-digital data acquisition system (DAS) with eight channels. The device includes sample-and-hold amplifiers, analog input clamp protection, a 16-bit charge redistribution successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC), second-order anti-alias filters, flexible digital filters, a 2.5 V reference voltage and reference buffer, and high-speed serial and parallel interfaces.


The AD7606BSTZ requires a single 5 V supply and is capable of handling ±10 V and ±5 V true bipolar input signals. All channels of this device can be sampled at throughput rates up to 200 kSPS. In addition, the input clamping protection circuitry can withstand voltages up to ±16.5 V. The device is designed to withstand voltages up to ±10 V and ±5 V, regardless of the sampling frequency. The analog input impedance is 1 MΩ regardless of sampling frequency, and the single-supply operation with internal filtering and high input impedance eliminates the need for additional op amps and external bipolar power supplies. The AD7606BSTZ's anti-aliasing filter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 22 kHz. It has 40 dB anti-aliasing rejection at a sampling rate of 200 kSPS. In addition, the device is equipped with flexible digital filters. With pin drive, it improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reduces bandwidth by 3 dB.

Stresses at or above those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may affect product reliability.



Ⅴ. How does AD7606BSTZ work?


The AD7606BSTZ can acquire analog signals from up to eight single-ended or four differential input channels. These signals are typically represented as voltage values. The ADC needs to sample the analog signal at certain time intervals and maintain the value of the signal during the sampling process. This ensures that the value of the analog signal does not change during conversion. Once the signal is sampled and held, the ADC converts the analog signal to the corresponding digital signal.


The AD7606BSTZ is a 16-bit ADC, meaning it divides the range of the analog signal into 65536 discrete values. The converted digital signals are output in serial mode and can be transmitted via SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or other similar serial communication protocols. The AD7606BSTZ usually has a configuration register through which parameters such as sampling rate, input range, etc. can be set. Devices such as microcontrollers or FPGAs can communicate with the AD7606BSTZ via SPI or other interfaces to configure its mode of operation. The ADC requires strict timing control during operation to ensure that the steps of sampling, conversion, and output are performed in the correct order and timing. Timing control is usually provided by an external controller, such as a microcontroller.
