16-Bit, Isolated Sigma-Delta Modulator

The ADuM7701 is a 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 device operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V power supply range (VDD1) and accepts a pseudo differential input signal of ±250 mV (±320 mV full-scale). The pseudo 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 21 MHz. The original information can be reconstructed with an appropriate sinc3 digital filter to achieve an 86 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at 78.1 kSPS with a 256 decimation rate and a 20 MHz main clock. The serial input and output operates from a 5 V or a 3 V supply (VDD2).

The serial interface is digitally isolated. High speed complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, combined with monolithic transformer technology, results in the on-chip isolation providing outstanding performance characteristics, superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices. The ADuM7701 device is available in both a 16-lead and an 8-lead wide-body SOIC and has an operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
