AD7265
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB
values (1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). In single-ended mode, the LSB
size is VREF/4096 when the 0 V to VREF range is used, and the LSB
size is 2 × VREF/4096 when the 0 V to 2 × VREF range is used. In
differential mode, the LSB size is 2 × VREF/4096 when the 0 V to
VREF range is used, and the LSB size is 4 × VREF/4096 when the
0 V to 2 × VREF range is used. The ideal transfer characteristic
for the AD7265 when straight binary coding is output is shown
in Figure 32, and the ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7265
when twos complement coding is output is shown (with the 2 ×
VREF range) in Figure 33.

Data Sheet
DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital inputs applied to the AD7265 are not limited by the
maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs. Instead, the
digital inputs can be applied up to 7 V and are not restricted by
the VDD + 0.3 V limit, as are the analog inputs. See the Absolute
Maximum Ratings section for more information. Another
advantage of the SCLK, RANGE, A0 to A2, and CS pins not
being restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit is that power supply
sequencing issues are avoided. If one of these digital inputs is
applied before VDD, there is no risk of latch-up, as there would
be on the analog inputs if a signal greater than 0.3 V were
applied prior to VDD.
VDRIVE
The AD7265 also has a VDRIVE feature to control the voltage at
which the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC to
easily interface to both 3 V and 5 V processors. For example, if
the AD7265 was operated with a VDD of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin
could be powered from a 3 V supply, allowing a large dynamic
range with low voltage digital processors. Therefore, the
AD7265 could be used with the 2 × VREF input range, with a VDD
of 5 V while still being able to interface to 3 V digital parts.
