Analog Devices AD7946 ADC Datasheet
The AD7946 is a 14‑bit, charge‑redistribution successive‑approximation ADC that operates from a single 5 V supply. It offers a serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE and DSP protocols, and supports optional daisy‑chaining and a BUSY indicator.
Key features include 500 kSPS throughput, no missing codes, low power dissipation (3.3 mW @ 5 V/100 kSPS), standby current of 1 nA, and operation over –40 °C to +85 °C. The device is available in 10‑lead MSOP and QFN (LFCSP) packages.
