Questions about AD7172/5/7-2

I have questions about AD7175-2, but I beleive they would also valid for AD7172-2 and AD7177-2, so the answers would be relevant for their users too.

  1. May the inputs be shared between the channels? E. g if Ain0 and Ain1 set up for differntial measurement on channel 0, may the Ain1 be used for single ended measurement on channel 1?
  2. I am a bit confused about dat rate and channels. if the data rate is 100 SPS, would it mean 50 SPS effective rate with 2 channels?
  3. For the reason of simplicity the ADC is to be used to measure following signals with full scale voltages:
  1.  +/- 1 V bipolar differential signal. (eg channel 0) 
  2. 5 V unipolar pseudodifferintal (channel 1)

The b) forces to use 5 V external refernce, which is disadvantageous for measurement on channel 1. Luckily, the ADC has inetrnal 2.5 V reference, which could be used on channel 1 to bring it closer to optimum range. Would it make sense to do so?

I may have further questions as I move on with the programming.

  • Hi.

    1. Yes, since the AD7175 has a cross point multiplexer which selects any analog input combination that can be configured as an input pair, either single ended or fully differential. But please make sure that the analog input voltage should be within specifications. 

    2. No, for a single channel, the settling time is required for the first conversion then all subsequent conversions occur at the selected output data rate. When multiple channels are enabled the settling time is required for the very first conversion and all the subsequent conversions requires a slightly shorter time than the first settling time. So let say for example AD7175 at ODR of 100sps using Sinc5+Sinc1 filter, the Tsettle at first conversion is 10.01ms and the Tsettle at subsequent channels will be 10ms. To visualize, you can try our Virtual Eval Tool. It is a tool that lets you play with the various features and see the performance of various ADCs online including timing. 

    3. Yes, you can use separate reference for two measurements, just configure your necessary reference selection through software code.

    Thanks,
