It consists of an instrumentation amplifier front end along with a DAC, comparator, successive approximation register (SAR), precision voltage reference, and a threestate output buffer on a single monolithic chip. No external components or user trims are required to interface, with full accuracy, an analog system to an 8-bit data bus. The AD670 will operate on the +5 V system supply. The input stage provides differential inputs with excellent common-mode rejection and allows direct interface to a variety of transducers. The device is configured with input scaling resistors to permit two input ranges: 0 mV to 255 mV (1 mV/LSB) and 0 to 2.55 V (10 mV/LSB). The AD670 can be configured for both unipolar and bipolar inputs over these ranges. The differential inputs and common-mode rejection of this front end are useful in applicatio...
