PRODUCTION DATA
This design combines the single-channel, 16-bit ADS8681W SAR ADC with the eight-channel MUX36D08 differential multiplexer. The ADS8681W provides the fast-settling, high-bandwidth performance necessary to support an external discrete multiplexer for responsive channel-to-channel operation.
The ADS868xW is settles to 1% accuracy at under 5µs (Figure 8-2) because of the device high-bandwidth input of up to 400kHz at −3dB. The ADS868xW also includes an internal programmable gain amplifier, ADC driver, and reference. Thus, making the device incredibly simple to connect a signal with an amplitude of up to ±12.288V on a single analog supply. This device also includes a variety of safety features, such as overvoltage protection, an input alarm, and AVDD alarm.
The MUX36D08 is a differential multiplexer. This multiplexer enables using up to eight differential inputs to perform fast and accurate voltage, current, or temperature sensing across a wide input voltage range. This device accepts three digital control lines to select the analog inputs.
The ADS8681W interfaces with a controller through an enhanced SPI communication protocol, simplifying the controller speed requirements. Overall, this system simplifies connecting a wide range of single-ended or differential signals, and includes features to safely monitor these signals in an industrial environment.
