APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The AD7170 provides a low cost, high resolution analog-to-

digital function. Because the analog-to-digital function is

provided by a Σ-Δ architecture, the part is more immune to

noisy environments, making it ideal for use in sensor measure-

ment and industrial and process-control applications.

TEMPERATURE SYSTEM

Figure 13 shows the AD7170 used in a temperature measure-

ment system. The thermistor is connected in series with a

precision resistor, RREF, the precision resistor being used to

generate the reference voltage. The value of RREF is equal to the

maximum resistance produced by the thermistor. The complete

dynamic range of the ADC is then used, resulting in optimum

performance.

SIGNAL CONDITIONING CIRCUIT

Figure 14 shows the AD7170 used in a signal conditioning

circuit for a single-ended analog input. In a low side shunt

current monitor, a low resistance shunt resistor converts the

current to voltage. The resulting voltage is amplified and

applied to the AD7170.
