The control logic and the charge redistribution DAC power consumption (typically 367 μA at 3 V and 1 MSPS) while are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the achieving fast throughput rates (1 MSPS with a 50 MHz SCLK). sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a balanced The part operates from a single power supply in the range of condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion 2.09 V to 5.25 V. is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code. Figure 17 shows the ADC transfer function. The AD7091 provides an on-chip track-and-hold amplifier and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a serial interface CHARGE housed in a tiny 8-lead LFCSP package. This package offers REDISTRIBUTIONDAC considerable space-saving advantages compared with alternative SAMPLING solutions. The serial clock input accesses data from the part. The CAPACITORAVIN clock for the SAR ADC is generated internally. SW1CONTROLSW2LOGICBCONVERSION The analog input range is 0 V to V PHASE DD. An external reference is COMPARATOR 16 -0 not required for the ADC, nor is there a reference on chip. The GND 494 LDO/2 10 reference voltage for the AD7091 is derived from the power Figure 16.
