GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD5940 and AD5941are high precision, low power analog

front ends (AFEs) designed for portable applications that require

high precision, electrochemical-based measurement techniques,

such as amperometric, voltammetric, or impedance measurements.

The AD5940/AD5941 is designed for skin impedance and body

impedance measurements, and works with the AD8233 AFE in

a complete bioelectric or biopotential measurement system. The

AD5940/AD5941 is designed for electrochemical toxic gas sensing.

The AD5940/AD5941 consist of two high precision excitation

loops and one common measurement channel, which enables a

wide capability of measurements of the sensor under test. The

first excitation loop consists of an ultra low power, dual-output

string, digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a low power, low

noise potentiostat. One output of the DAC controls the non-

inverting input of the potentiostat, and the other output controls

the noninverting input of the transimpedance amplifier (TIA).

This low power excitation loop is capable of generating signals

from dc to 200 Hz.

The second excitation loop consists of a 12-bit DAC, referred to

as the high speed DAC. This DAC is capable of generating high

frequency excitation signals up to 200 kHz.

The AD5940/AD5941 measurement channel features a 16-bit,

800 kSPS, multichannel successive approximation register

(SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with input buffers, a

built in antialias filter, and a programmable gain amplifier

(PGA). An input multiplexer (mux) in front of the ADC allows

the user to select an input channel for measurement. These

input channels include multiple external current inputs,

external voltage inputs, and internal channels. The internal

channels allow diagnostic measurements of the internal supply

voltages, die temperature, and reference voltages.

The current inputs include two TIAs with programmable gain

and load resistors for measuring different sensor types. The first

TIA, referred to as the low power TIA, measures low bandwidth

signals. The second TIA, referred to as the high speed TIA,

measures high bandwidth signals up to 200 kHz.

An ultra low leakage, programmable switch matrix connects the

sensor to the internal analog excitation and measurement blocks.

This matrix provides an interface for connecting external trans-

impedance amplifier resistors (RTIAs) and calibration resistors.

The matrix can also be used to multiplex multiple electronic

measurement devices to the same wearable electrodes.

A precision 1.82 V and 2.5 V on-chip reference source is available.

The internal ADC and DAC circuits use this on-chip reference

source to ensure low drift performance for the 1.82 V and 2.5 V

peripherals.

The AD5940/AD5941 measurement blocks can be controlled via

direct register writes through the serial peripheral interface (SPI)

interface, or, alternatively, by using a preprogrammable sequencer,

which provides autonomous control of the AFE chip. 6 kB of static

random access memory (SRAM) is partitioned for a deep data first

in, first out (FIFO) and command FIFO. Measurement commands

are stored in the command FIFO and measurement results are

stored in the data FIFO. A number of FIFO related interrupts are

available to indicate when the FIFO is full.

A number of general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs) are

available and controlled using the AFE sequencer. The AFE

sequencer allows cycle accurate control of multiple external sensor

devices.

The AD5940/AD5941 operate from a 2.8 V to 3.6 V supply and

are specified over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. The

AD5940 is packaged in a 56-lead, 3.6 mm × 4.2 mm WLCSP.

The AD5941 is packaged in a 48-lead LFCSP.
