APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADS7865 includes two 12-bit analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) that operate based on the
successive-approximation register (SAR) principle.
The ADCs sample and convert simultaneously.
Conversion time can be as low as 406.25ns. Adding
the acquisition time of 62.5ns and an additional clock
cycle for setup/hold time requirements and skew
