AD7172-2BRUZ Overview
A sigma-delta ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses oversampling and noise shaping to achieve high resolution. It is ideal for precision measurement applications where low noise and high accuracy are required. The AD7172-2 belongs to the family of sigma-delta ADCs, which are widely used in industrial process control, medical instrumentation, and weigh scales.
Key features include 24-bit resolution, 31.25 kSPS output data rate, 2 fully differential or 4 single-ended input channels, true rail-to-rail buffers, and a programmable digital filter. The device also offers a 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection mode, offset and gain calibration, and a 2.5 V internal reference. The integrated buffers simplify the interface to high-impedance sensors.
The AD7172-2 uses a sigma-delta modulator with a digital filter that can be configured for various output data rates and settling times. The device includes a multiplexer that allows each analog input to be configured independently. The SPI interface supports read/write access to the configuration registers and conversion results.
Typical applications include temperature measurement, pressure sensing, weigh scales, and industrial process control. The low power consumption and high resolution make it suitable for battery-powered and portable instruments.
When designing with the AD7172-2, ensure that the reference input is properly decoupled and that the analog input signals are within the common-mode range. The device requires an external reference for best performance, such as the ADR445 or ADR444.

Design Notes
The AD7172-2BRUZ operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. Use separate analog and digital supply pins (AVDD and DVDD) with proper decoupling capacitors (0.1 uF and 10 uF) placed close to the pins. A clean analog supply is critical for maintaining the ADC's low noise performance.
For optimal performance, use a solid ground plane and separate analog and digital ground areas, connecting them at a single point. Keep analog input traces short and shielded from digital signals. Place the reference decoupling capacitor close to the REF+ and REF- pins to minimize noise.
Ensure the analog input signals are within the common-mode range specified in the datasheet. The AD7172-2BRUZ requires an external reference for best performance; using the internal reference may degrade accuracy. Also, configure the digital filter appropriately to reject 50 Hz/60 Hz interference in industrial environments.
