Analog Devices Inc. AD7403 16-Bit Isolated Sigma-Delta Modulators

Analog Devices Inc. AD7403/-8 16-Bit Isolated Sigma-Delta Modulators are high performance, second-order, Σ-Δ modulator that converts an analog input signal into a high speed, single-bit data stream, with on-chip digital isolation based on Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology. The AD7403/-8 operates from a 5V (VDD1) power supply and accepts a differential input signal of ±250mV (±320mV full-scale). The differential input is ideally suited to shunt voltage monitoring in high voltage applications where galvanic isolation is required. The analog input is continuously sampled by a high performance analog modulator, and converted to a ones density digital output stream with a data rate of up to 20MHz. 

The original information can be reconstructed with an appropriate digital filter to achieve 88dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) at 78.1kSPS. The serial input/output can use a 5V or a 3V supply (VDD2). The serial interface is digitally isolated. High speed complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, combined with monolithic transformer technology, means the on-chip isolation provides outstanding performance characteristics, superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices.
