Product details
Overview
AD7794BRUZ from Analog Devices is a 24-bit, low-noise, low-power Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter with integrated instrumentation amplifier, on-chip band gap reference (4 ppm/°C drift), six differential inputs, and programmable excitation current sources. It delivers 23 effective bits at 4.17 Hz, 40 nV RMS noise, and operates from 2.7 V to 5.25 V - ideal for high-precision weigh scales and strain gage transducers.
For engineers reviewing the AD7794BRUZ datasheet, AD7794BRUZ pinout, AD7794BRUZ application, or AD7794BRUZ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 24-bit no-missing-codes performance up to 242 Hz, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, internal clock oscillator, and TSSOP-24 packaging compatible with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C).
Technical Context
The AD7794BRUZ integrates a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier with gain settings from 1 to 128, enabling direct interface to low-level sensor outputs such as bridge-based pressure transducers. Its Σ-Δ modulator features digital filtering with programmable output data rates (4.17–470 Hz) and supports both internal and external clocking for synchronization across multi-channel systems.
On-chip functionality includes dual programmable current sources (10/210/1000 μA), bias voltage generator (AVDD/2), low-side power switch (RON ≤ 9 Ω), reference detect circuitry, and burnout current capability - all managed via a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface with Schmitt-triggered SCLK for noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit with no missing codes up to 242 Hz; enables 1 ppm-level measurement precision in static industrial sensing. |
| RMS Noise | 40 nV @ 4.17 Hz - supports sub-microvolt signal resolution in high-gain, low-bandwidth applications like load cells. |
| Supply Current | 400 μA typical - allows battery-powered operation for portable instrumentation with >1-year runtime on coin cell. |
| Reference Drift | 4 ppm/°C typical - ensures <±0.5 LSB error over full –40°C to +105°C range without external calibration. |
| Input Channels | Six fully differential analog inputs - supports multiplexed sensor arrays (e.g., 3× full-bridge pressure sensors) without external MUX. |
| Update Rate | 4.17 Hz to 470 Hz - configurable for trade-off between noise performance and throughput in real-time control loops. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 100 dB min @ DC - maintains accuracy despite ground shifts in noisy industrial environments with long sensor cables. |
Pinout & Package
AD7794BRUZ is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP package (4.4 mm × 7.8 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 4 is NC; pins 5/6 and 15/16 support dual-function analog/digital I/O.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK (Pin 1) | Serial clock input | Schmitt-triggered for opto-isolated interfaces; supports continuous or burst-mode SPI communication. |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip select | Active-low enable; allows 3-wire mode when hardwired low, reducing PCB routing complexity. |
| AIN1(+) to AIN3(–) (Pins 7–12) | Differential analog inputs | Three dedicated differential pairs for simultaneous multi-sensor acquisition without external amplification. |
| AIN4(+)/REFIN2(+) (Pin 17) | Shared analog input / reference input | Enables dual-reference architecture: REFIN1 for primary ADC reference, REFIN2 for auxiliary channel or ratiometric sensing. |
| AIN5(+)/IOUT2 (Pin 15) | Excitation current output | Programmable 10/210/1000 μA source - powers RTDs or bridge sensors while sharing analog input path to minimize component count. |
| P1 (AIN6(+)) / P2 (AIN6(–)) (Pins 5/6) | General-purpose digital outputs | Configurable GPIOs referenced to AVDD/GND - drive LEDs, relays, or status indicators without external drivers. |
| PSW (Pin 19) | Low-side power switch | Controls bridge sensor power between conversions; reduces system power by >90% during idle periods. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection | 80 dB min rejection at line frequency with internal clock - eliminates need for external notch filters in AC-powered industrial sites. |
| On-chip bias voltage generator | AVDD/2 output - sets common-mode voltage for buffered inputs, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling without external resistive dividers. |
| Programmable burnout currents | Enables open-wire detection in 4-wire RTD circuits - improves system reliability by identifying broken sensor leads before measurement errors occur. |
| Independent interface supply (DVDD) | Allows DVDD = 1.8–5.25 V while AVDD = 2.7–5.25 V - supports mixed-voltage systems with 1.8 V microcontrollers interfacing to 5 V analog front ends. |
| Internal clock oscillator | 64 kHz ±3% - eliminates external crystal/capacitor, reducing BOM cost and board area while maintaining timing accuracy for synchronized sampling. |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed resolution of AD7794BRUZ without missing codes?
The AD7794BRUZ guarantees 24-bit no-missing-codes performance at output update rates up to 242 Hz when chop mode is enabled. This specification is production-tested and ensures monotonicity across the full input range under all specified operating conditions including –40°C to +105°C and 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply.
Does AD7794BRUZ support simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz line frequency rejection?
Yes, the AD7794BRUZ provides simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection of ≥80 dB minimum using its internal digital filter with programmable output data rates. This feature is implemented in hardware and requires no firmware intervention - it functions identically across all gain settings and input configurations.
Can AD7794BRUZ operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7794BRUZ accepts two independent external differential references (REFIN1 and REFIN2) ranging from 0.1 V to AVDD. When using external references, the device maintains ±10 μV full-scale error and ±1 ppm/°C gain drift for gains 1–16, making it suitable for ratiometric and absolute measurement topologies.
What are the functions of pins P1 and P2 on AD7794BRUZ?
Pins P1 (AIN6(+)) and P2 (AIN6(–)) serve dual roles: as the sixth differential analog input pair, or as general-purpose digital outputs referenced to AVDD and GND. These pins can be configured via on-chip registers to drive LEDs, activate relays, or signal system status - eliminating need for external GPIO expanders in compact designs.
How does the low-side power switch (PSW) improve system power efficiency in AD7794BRUZ?
The PSW pin on AD7794BRUZ controls a low-RON (≤9 Ω) switch that disconnects bridge sensor excitation between conversions. In a typical weigh scale application sampling at 10 Hz, this reduces average sensor power by >95%, directly lowering self-heating drift and extending battery life without compromising measurement integrity.
