3 Description

The ADS7044 is a 1-MSPS, analog-to-digital

converter (ADC). The device supports a wide analog

input voltage range (±1.65 V to ±3.6 V) and includes

a capacitor-based, successive-approximation register

(SAR) ADC with an inherent sample-and-hold circuit.

The SPI-compatible serial interface is controlled by

the CS and SCLK signals. The input signal is sampled with the CS falling edge and SCLK is used

for conversion and serial data output. The device

supports a wide digital supply range (1.65 V to 3.6 V),

enabling direct interface to a variety of host controllers. The device complies with the JESD8-7A

standard for normal DVDD range (1.65 V to 1.95 V).

The device is available in 8-pin, miniature, leaded,

and X2QFN packages and is specified for operation

from –40°C to 125°C. Miniature form-factor and

extremely low-power consumption make this device suitable for space-constrained, battery-powered

applications.
