AD7896
Dynamic Performance (Mode 1 Only)
With a combined conversion and acquisition time of 9.5 µs, the
AD7896 is ideal for wide bandwidth signal processing applications.
These applications require information on the ADC’s effect on the
spectral content of the input signal. Signal-to-(noise + distortion),
total harmonic distortion, peak harmonic or spurious noise, and
intermodulation distortion are all specified. Figure 11 shows a
typical FFT plot of a 10 kHz, 0 V to 3.3 V input after being digi-
tized by the AD7896 operating at a 102.4 kHz sampling rate.
The signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio is 71.5 dB and the total
harmonic distortion is –82.4 dB.
Effective Number of Bits
The formula for signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio (see the
Terminology section) is related to the resolution or number of
bits in the converter. Rewriting the formula below gives a mea-
sure of performance expressed in effective number of bits (N)
where SNR is the signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio.
The effective number of bits for a device can be calculated from
its measured signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio. Figure 12
shows a typical plot of effective number of bits versus frequency
for the AD7896 from dc to f
is 102.4 kHz. The plot shows that the AD7896 converts an input
sine wave of 51.2 kHz to an effective numbers of bits of 11.25,
which equates to a signal-to-(noise + distortion) level of 69 dB.

Power Considerations
In the automatic power-down mode, the part can be operated
at a sample rate that is considerably less than 100 kHz. In this
case, the power consumption will be reduced and will depend
on the sample rate. Figure 13 shows a graph of the power con-
sumption versus sampling rates from 10 Hz to 1 kHz in the
automatic power-down mode. The conditions are 2.7 V supply,
25°C, serial clock frequency of 8.33 MHz, and the data was
read after conversion.
