The AD7490BCPZ is a 12-bit, successive approximation ADC. The analog inputs (A0 to A7) are used to connect the signal to the ADC. The device converts the analog input signals into corresponding digital outputs that are provided via the SDO (Serial Data Output) pin.
It communicates using SPI (Serial Peripheral interface ) protocol, where the data is clocked in and out through the SCLK pin. The device is activated by the CS (Chip Select) pin, which needs to be driven low to enable communication.
Detailed Pin Function List and Usage
VREF - The reference voltage input pin, used to set the reference voltage for the conversion process. It must be connected to a stable voltage source to ensure accurate analog-to-digital conversion. AGND - This pin provides the analog ground reference for the device's analog circuitry. A0 to A7 (Analog Inputs) - These pins are used for the analog input signals to be converted into digital output. Each pin corresponds to one of the eight analog input channels. DVDD - This is the digital power supply pin, where a power voltage source for the digital section of the device is connected (typically 3.3V or 5V depending on the system). DGND - The digital ground reference for the digital circuitry, which should be connected to the system's ground. CS (Chip Select) - This is the logic input that enables or disables the device. When CS is low, the device is enabled and able to communicate; when high, the device is in a disabled state. SCLK (Serial Clock Input) - The clock input for SPI communication. It synchronizes the transfer of data between the device and the microcontroller or host processor. SDO (Serial Data Output) - The data output pin that sends the digital result of the conversion to the host system. SDI (Serial Data Input) - This pin is used to send control and configuration data to the device.FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
