GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7818 and AD7817 are 10-bit, single- and 4-channel A/D converters with on-chip temperature sensor that can operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply. Each part contains a 9 µs successive-approximation converter based around a capacitor DAC, an on-chip temperature sensor with an accuracy of ± 2°C, an on-chip clock oscillator, inherent track-andhold functionality and an on-chip reference (2.5 V). The
AD7816 is a temperature monitoring only device in a SOIC/µSOIC package.
The on-chip temperature sensor of the AD7817 and AD7818 can be accessed via Channel 0. When Channel 0 is selected and a conversion is initiated, the resulting ADC code at the end of the conversion gives a measurement of the ambient temperature with a resolution of ±0.25°C. See Measuring Temperature section of the data sheet.
