Frequently asked questions

What are the primary differences between the AD7191BRUZ and AD7192BRUZ?

The AD7191BRUZ is a pin-programmable, 24-bit sigma-delta ADC with a fixed output data rate and gain configuration set by external pins, while the AD7192BRUZ is a 24-bit sigma-delta ADC with a SPI-compatible serial interface that allows programmable output data rates, gain, and filter settings. The AD7192BRUZ offers more configuration flexibility, whereas the AD7191BRUZ provides a simpler, hardware-configured solution.

Do the AD7191BRUZ and AD7192BRUZ share the same package and pinout?

Both devices are offered in a 24-lead TSSOP (RU-24) package, but their pin functions differ because the AD7191BRUZ uses pin-strap configuration while the AD7192BRUZ uses a SPI interface. They are not pin-for-pin drop-in replacements, and the PCB layout must be designed for the specific device.

What is the resolution and architecture of both ADCs?

Both the AD7191BRUZ and AD7192BRUZ are 24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converters, providing high resolution for low-frequency, precision measurement applications such as weigh scales, pressure sensors, and temperature measurement.

How does the digital interface differ between the two parts?

The AD7191BRUZ is configured through pin strapping and does not require a SPI interface for setup, simplifying system design. The AD7192BRUZ provides a SPI-compatible serial interface that allows readback of conversion data and on-chip register configuration, enabling programmable gain, output data rate, and filter settings.

Can the AD7191BRUZ and AD7192BRUZ be used interchangeably in an existing design?

No. Because the AD7191BRUZ is pin-programmable and the AD7192BRUZ is register-programmable via SPI, their pin functions and configuration methods differ. A direct substitution is not possible without redesigning the digital interface and configuration circuitry, and all differences must be validated against the respective manufacturer datasheets.

Are both devices suitable for precision weigh-scale applications?

Yes. Both the AD7191BRUZ and AD7192BRUZ are 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs intended for high-resolution, low-noise measurement, making them suitable for weigh-scale and other precision sensor applications. The AD7192BRUZ offers programmable gain and filter settings that can be tuned for specific load-cell characteristics, while the AD7191BRUZ provides a fixed hardware-configured setup.

What supply voltage do the AD7191BRUZ and AD7192BRUZ require?

Both devices operate from a single analog supply in the range of 2.7 V to 5.25 V, with a separate digital supply, consistent with the AD719x family specifications. Designers should confirm exact supply and reference requirements in the respective manufacturer datasheets before finalizing the power design.
