The AD73360 is a six-input channel analog front-end processor
for general purpose applications including industrial power
metering or multichannel analog inputs. It features six 16-bit
A/D conversion channels each of which provide 77 dB signal-tonoise
ratio over a dc to 4 kHz signal bandwidth. Each channel
also features a programmable input gain amplifier (PGA) with
gain settings in eight stages from 0 dB to 38 dB.
The AD73360 is particularly suitable for industrial power metering
as each channel samples synchronously, ensuring that there
is no (phase) delay between the conversions. The AD73360 also
features low group delay conversions on all channels.
An on-chip reference voltage is included and is programmable
to accommodate either 3 V or 5 V operation.
The sampling rate of the device is programmable with four
separate settings offering 64 kHz, 32 kHz, 16 kHz and 8 kHz
sampling rates (from a master clock of 16.384 MHz).
A serial port (SPORT) allows easy interfacing of single or cascaded
devices to industry standard DSP engines. The SPORT
transfer rate is programmable to allow interfacing to both fast
and slow DSP engines.
The AD73360 is available in 28-lead SOIC and 44-lead TQFP
packages.
