The ADCS7476/77/78 uses the supply voltage as a reference. This enables the devices to operate with a full-scale input range of 0 to VDD. The conversion rate is determined from the serial clock (SCLK) speed. These converters offer a shutdown mode, which can be used to trade throughput for power consumption. The ADCS7476/77/78 is operated with a single supply that can range from +2.7V to +5.25V. Normal power consumption during continuous conversion, using a +3V or +5V supply, is 2 mW or 10 mW respectively. The power down feature, which is enabled by a chip select (CS) pin, reduces the power consumption to under 5 W using a +5V supply. All three converters are packaged in a 6-lead, SOT-23 package that provides an extremely small footprint for applications where space is a critical consideration. These products are designed for operation over the automotive/extended industrial temperature range of -40C to +125C.
