The AD7712 is a complete analog front end for low frequency
measurement applications. The device has two analog input
channels and accepts either low level signals directly from a transducer
or high level (±4
VREF) signals, and outputs a serial
digital word. It employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to
realize up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The low
level input signal is applied to a proprietary programmable gain
front end based around an analog modulator. The high level
analog input is attenuated before being applied to the same
modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-chip
digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed
via the on-chip control register, allowing adjustment of the filter
cutoff and settling time.
