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, I have an issue here.

    I built my measurement system on PCB that uses AD7175-2. As part of the verification I tested the ADC for noise performance. In particular , for testing differential measurement the following circuit was used (minimal presentation). The MAX5318 DAC was set to 1.23 V and 10000 Samples were taken

    I wanted to compare single conversion mode vs continious conversion mode and external vs internal reference. I got following results,The results are actually very good. But the single conversion conversion mode is spoiled by the fact that it took ~100 conversions to stabilize. I don't think it has something to do with the mode, but rather with the fact it was the first test to run.

    The question: is a such long settling time (?) normal?

    The settings of the ADC:

    3 channels running

    On all channels:

    input buffers enabled, reference buffer disabled, SINC5 filter, ODR100

    One more issue regarding the data sheet. The use of term "single-ended"  in the data sheet is misleading. Those are in fact pseudo-differential and should be called as such.

    Thank you
