GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for the
which is a pin-programmable, low power, 24-bit sigma-delta
(Σ-Δ) ADC. The AD7780 is a complete analog front end for
low frequency measurement applications such as bridge sensor
systems. It contains one differential input and includes a low
noise instrumentation amplifier. The output data rate can be
programmed to 10 Hz or 16.7 Hz. The AD7780 also has an
on-board clock, eliminating the need for an external clock. It
employs a Σ-Δ conversion technique to realize up to 24 bits of
no missing codes performance. The input signal is applied to
an analog modulator. The modulator output is processed by an

on-chip digital filter. The analog input channel of the AD7780
accepts analog input signals of ±V
update rate programmed to 10 Hz, the rms noise is 44 nV when
the gain is 128. Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is available
at both output data rates.
Full data on the AD7780 is available in the AD7780 data sheet
available from Analog Devices, Inc., and should be consulted in
AD7780
conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board.
The evaluation board interfaces to the USB port of an IBM®-
compatible PC. Software is available with the evaluation board
that allows users to easily communicate with the AD7780.
Note that the AD7780 evaluation board software should be
installed before connecting the AD7780 evaluation board
to the PC.
Another component on the AD7780 evaluation board is the
ADP3303
high precision, low power, 3.3 V output voltage
regulator, which is used to power the USB/SPI interface.
