Analogue front end combines two successive-approximation ADCs, a programmable gain amplifier and four comparators on a single chip to simplify control of industrial motors.

New from Analog Devices, the AD7264 simplifies industrial motor control designs by integrating two successive-approximation (SAR) analogue-to-digital convertors (ADCs), a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and four comparators on a single chip By providing a direct interface for multiple types of sensors, the new ADC solution allows a single, standardised data acquisition board to be used in industrial motor drives, replacing as many as three separate boards previously required to perform the same system control function

This integration allows designers to develop simpler, more cost-effective motor control units.

Designed for industrial applications, the AD7264 features two high-speed, low-power SAR ADCs, each providing throughput rates up to 1Msample/s.

The on-chip PGA accepts a true differential analogue input, and supports 13 programmable gain settings from 1 to 128.

In addition, the AD7264 includes four on-chip comparators: two optimised for low power, and two optimised for short propagation delays.

Operating with a 5V power supply, the device consumes 24mA.

The AD7264 is sampling now and will be available in full production quantities in January 2008.

The AD7264, priced at US $9.06 per unit in 1000-unit quantities, is available in 48-lead LFCSP (lead-frame chip-scale package) and 48-lead TQFP (thin quad flat package) packaging.

The AD7262, a 12bit pin-compatible solution, is priced at US $7.55 per unit in 1000-unit quantities.
