AD7482
Figure 18 shows the AD7482 conversion sequence when the
part is put into nap mode after each conversion.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show a typical graphical representation
of power vs. throughput for the AD7482 when in normal mode
and nap mode, respectively.
In standby mode, all the internal circuitry is powered down and the
power consumption of the AD7482 is reduced to 10 μW. The
power-up time necessary before a conversion can be initiated is
longer because more of the internal circuitry has been powered
down. In using the internal reference of the AD7482, the ADC
must be brought out of standby mode 500 ms before a conversion is
initiated. Initiating a conversion before the required power-up time
has elapsed results in incorrect conversion data. If an external

in standby mode, the power-up time required is reduced to 80 μs.
OFFSET/OVERRANGE
The AD7482 provides a ±8% overrange capability as well as a
programmable offset register. The overrange capability is achieved
by the use of a 13th bit (D12) and the CLIP input. If the CLIP input
is at logic high and the contents of the offset register are 0, then the
AD7482 operates as a normal 12-bit ADC. If the input voltage is
greater than the full-scale voltage, the data output from the ADC is
all 1s. Similarly, if the input voltage is lower than the zero-scale
voltage, the data output from the ADC is all 0s. In this case, D12
acts as an overrange indicator. It is set to 1 if the analog input
voltage is outside the nominal 0 V to 2.5 V range.
The default contents of the offset register are 0. If the offset register
contains any value other than 0, the contents of the register are
added to the SAR result at the end of conversion. This has the effect
of shifting the transfer function of the ADC as shown in Figure 21
and Figure 22. Note that with the CLIP input set to logic high, the
maximum and minimum codes that the AD7482 can output are
0xFFF and 0x000, respectively. Further details are given in Table 5
and Table 6.
Figure 21 shows the effect of writing a positive value to the
offset register. For example, if the contents of the offset register
contained the value 256, then the value of the analog input
voltage for which the ADC transitions from reading all 0s to
000...001 (the bottom reference point) is
In this example, the analog input voltage for which the ADC
reads full-scale (0xFFF) is
The effect of writing a negative value to the offset register is
shown in Figure 22. If a value of −128 is written to the offset
register, the bottom end reference point occurs at
Following this, the analog input voltage needed to produce a
full-scale (0xFFF) result from the ADC is
0.5 LSB − (256 LSB) = −155.944 mV
2.5 V − 1.5 LSB − (256 LSB) = 2.3428 V
0.5 LSB − (−128 LSB) = 78.43 mV
2.5 V − 1.5 LSB − (−128 LSB) = 2.5772 V
