Product details
Overview
ADUC834BCPZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a fully integrated MicroConverter® smart transducer front end combining dual high-resolution ADCs (24-bit primary and 16-bit auxiliary), an 8052-compatible 8-bit MCU core, 62 kB Flash/EE program memory, 4 kB Flash/EE data memory, and on-chip peripherals including dual 16-bit DACs/PWMs, temperature sensor, excitation current sources, and UART/SPI/I²C interfaces. It targets precision low-frequency measurement in weigh scales, strain-gage systems, and 4–20 mA transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the ADUC834BCPZ-REEL datasheet, ADUC834BCPZ-REEL pinout, ADUC834BCPZ-REEL application, or ADUC834BCPZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-ADC architecture with programmable gain amplifier, 20 Hz update rate delivering 18.5-bit peak-to-peak resolution, internal 1.25 V ±1% reference, and operation across –40°C to +85°C in the 56-lead LFCSP package.
Technical Context
The ADUC834BCPZ-REEL integrates two independent sigma-delta ADCs: a 24-bit primary ADC with no missing codes at 20 Hz and 21-bit rms effective resolution, and a 16-bit auxiliary ADC supporting unipolar/bipolar inputs up to ±2.5 V. Both feature on-chip digital filtering, programmable output data rates, and dedicated PGA for direct low-level signal conditioning.
Its 8052-based MCU core runs from a 32.768 kHz crystal with on-chip PLL generating up to 12.58 MHz clock, routed through a programmable divider to set the core frequency. Memory includes 62 kB Flash/EE program space, 4 kB Flash/EE data space, and 2304 bytes RAM - configurable to support up to 60 kB NV data logging.

FAQ
What is the maximum update rate of the primary ADC in ADUC834BCPZ-REEL?
The primary ADC in ADUC834BCPZ-REEL supports a programmable update rate from 5.4 Hz to 105 Hz in 0.732 ms increments. At the highest rate (105 Hz), effective resolution decreases; the 18.5-bit peak-to-peak specification applies at 20 Hz - the optimal trade-off between noise performance and throughput for precision weighing and strain-gage applications. The ADUC834BCPZ-REEL's digital filter configuration determines exact timing behavior.
Does ADUC834BCPZ-REEL support external reference voltage for the primary ADC?
Yes, ADUC834BCPZ-REEL accepts an external differential reference voltage applied to REFIN+ and REFIN− pins, ranging from 1 V to AVDD. The device includes reference detect circuitry that sets the NOXREF flag when VREF falls below 0.3 V, enabling firmware-driven fault response. Internal 1.25 V reference remains available and can be selected independently per ADC via XREF0/XREF1 bits in ADC0CON/ADC1CON.
How many analog input channels does ADUC834BCPZ-REEL provide for the primary ADC?
ADUC834BCPZ-REEL provides five dedicated analog input channels (AIN1–AIN5) for the primary ADC, accessible via internal multiplexer. AIN1–AIN4 are routed to P1.4–P1.7 respectively; AIN5 connects to P1.3, which also serves as IEXC2. All inputs support differential or pseudo-differential configurations with programmable gain up to 128×, and absolute voltage limits of AGND + 100 mV to AVDD – 100 mV.
Can ADUC834BCPZ-REEL operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, ADUC834BCPZ-REEL supports independent 3 V nominal operation: AVDD and DVDD may each be supplied from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. In this configuration, typical DVDD current is 2.3 mA max at 1.57 MHz core clock, and AVDD current remains ≤180 µA. The internal band gap reference and ADC/DAC performance remain fully specified across this range, making ADUC834BCPZ-REEL suitable for battery-powered 3.3 V systems.
What debug and programming interfaces are supported by ADUC834BCPZ-REEL?
ADUC834BCPZ-REEL supports in-circuit serial download via UART (no external hardware required), high-speed user download (~5 seconds), and single-pin emulation mode using the EA pin. Factory firmware enables debugging without JTAG; the UART interface handles both firmware loading and real-time variable inspection. The ADUC834BCPZ-REEL is fully supported by Analog Devices' QuickStart™ development system, including low-cost hardware adapters and Keil C51 toolchain integration.
