Product details
Overview
AD7794CRUZ 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 - optimized for high-precision industrial sensor signal conditioning in weigh scales and pressure transducers.
For engineers reviewing the AD7794CRUZ datasheet, AD7794CRUZ pinout, AD7794CRUZ application, or AD7794CRUZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed 24-bit no-missing-codes performance at ≤242 Hz update rate, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, internal clock oscillator, and C-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) for harsh-environment deployment.
Technical Context
The AD7794CRUZ implements a chopper-stabilized Σ-Δ modulator with digital filtering supporting output rates from 4.17 Hz to 470 Hz. Its on-chip instrumentation amplifier provides programmable gain (1–128) and supports buffered/unbuffered input modes with defined common-mode voltage constraints (e.g., GND + 300 mV to AVDD − 1.1 V for gain ≥4).
It integrates dual programmable current sources (10/210/1000 μA, ±5% initial tolerance), a bias voltage generator (AVDD/2), reference detect circuitry, and a low-side power switch (RON ≤9 Ω at 3 V) for bridge sensor power gating - all controlled via a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface with Schmitt-triggered SCLK.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit no-missing-codes (≤242 Hz, chop enabled); enables 1 ppm-level measurement fidelity in strain gage or RTD systems. |
| RMS Noise | 40 nV @ 4.17 Hz - allows sub-μV signal resolution without external amplification in precision weigh scale front ends. |
| Supply Current | 400 μA typical (internal reference, gain ≥4) - supports battery-powered portable instrumentation with >1-year runtime on coin cell. |
| Reference Drift | 4 ppm/°C typical (band gap) - eliminates need for external ovenized reference in industrial process controllers operating across –40°C to +125°C. |
| Update Rate | 4.17 Hz to 470 Hz programmable - permits trade-off between noise floor (low rate) and response time (high rate) in closed-loop control feedback paths. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 100 dB min @ DC (B-grade), 97 dB min @ DC (C-grade) - rejects ground loop interference in 4–20 mA transmitter analog input stages. |
| INL Error | ±15 ppm of FSR - ensures linearity compliance for 6½-digit DVM and calibration-grade measurement equipment. |
Pinout & Package
AD7794CRUZ is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP (RU-24) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 4 is NC; pins 5/6 (AIN6(+)/P1 and AIN6(−)/P2) support dual-role analog input or general-purpose digital I/O; pins 15/16 (AIN5(+)/IOUT2 and AIN5(−)/IOUT1) serve as configurable excitation current outputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK (1) | Serial clock input | Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity; enables opto-isolated interface in high-noise industrial PLCs. |
| CS (3) | Chip select | Active-low frame sync; supports daisy-chain or multi-drop SPI bus with shared SCLK/DIN/DOUT lines. |
| AIN1(+) to AIN3(−) (7–12) | Differential analog inputs | Three dedicated 6-input channel pairs; support direct connection of Wheatstone bridges without external op amps. |
| REFIN1(±) (13–14) | Primary reference input | Accepts 0.1 V to AVDD differential reference; enables ratiometric measurements using same supply as sensor excitation. |
| PSW (19) | Low-side power switch | Drives bridge sensors; reduces system power by >99% between conversions in battery-operated gas analyzers. |
| DOUT/RDY (23) | Data output / ready indicator | Open-drain RDY asserts when conversion completes; simplifies timing in microcontroller-based data loggers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection | 80 dB min rejection at both frequencies with single configuration (FS[3:0] = 1010), eliminating need for external notch filters in AC mains–coupled environments. |
| Programmable excitation currents | 10/210/1000 μA outputs with ±0.5% matching between IOUT1/IOUT2 - enables precise 2-/3-/4-wire RTD biasing without external DACs. |
| Burnout current sources | Internal 1 μA burnout currents on all analog inputs - provides open-circuit fault detection in smart transmitter diagnostics. |
| On-chip bias voltage generator | AVDD/2 output with fast start-up (ms/nF) - sets common-mode level for differential sensors, reducing PCB area vs. discrete resistor dividers. |
| Independent interface supply | DVDD pin accepts 2.7 V–5.25 V separate from AVDD - allows logic-level translation between 1.8 V MCU and 5 V analog domain without level shifters. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for AD7794CRUZ?
The AD7794CRUZ is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C (C grade), making it suitable for under-hood automotive sensors, downhole oilfield tools, and industrial control cabinets without forced cooling. This exceeds the –40°C to +105°C range of the B-grade AD7794BRUZ, and is confirmed in the Rev. D datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does AD7794CRUZ require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, AD7794CRUZ includes an internal 64 kHz clock oscillator and can operate autonomously without external timing components. An external 64 kHz (or 128 kHz with divide-by-2) clock may be used for synchronization across multiple ADCs, but is optional - confirmed in the General Description and Timing Characteristics sections of the datasheet.
Can AD7794CRUZ drive a 4-wire RTD directly?
Yes, AD7794CRUZ supports 4-wire RTD measurement using its dual programmable excitation current sources (IOUT1/IOUT2) on pins 15/16 and internal Kelvin sensing via AIN1–AIN3 differential inputs. The ±0.5% current matching and low drift (200 ppm/°C) ensure accurate resistance calculation without external current DACs - detailed in the Excitation Current Sources specification table.
What is the purpose of the PSW pin on AD7794CRUZ?
The PSW (pin 19) is a low-side power switch with RON ≤9 Ω at 3 V, designed to gate power to bridge sensors (e.g., load cells, pressure bridges) between conversions. This minimizes self-heating and system power consumption - especially valuable in battery-powered AD7794CRUZ implementations like portable gas analyzers or field instruments.
How many differential input channels does AD7794CRUZ support?
AD7794CRUZ supports six fully differential analog input channels (AIN1 through AIN6), each with independent programmable gain and buffer configuration. These are implemented as three dedicated differential pairs (AIN1±, AIN2±, AIN3±) plus AIN4±, AIN5±, and AIN6± - explicitly shown in the Functional Block Diagram and Pin Configuration diagram of the AD7794/AD7795 Rev. D datasheet.
