250 kSPS, 12-Bit Impedance Converter, Network Analyzer Data Sheet AD5934 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Programmable output peak-to-peak excitation voltage to a The AD5934 is a high precision impedance converter system maximum frequency of 100 kHz solution that combines an on-board frequency generator with a 2 Programmable frequency sweep capability with serial I C 12-bit, 250 kSPS, analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The interface frequency generator allows an external complex impedance to Frequency resolution of 27 bits (<0.1 Hz) be excited with a known frequency. The response signal from Impedance measurement range from 1 k to 10 M the impedance is sampled by the on-board ADC and a discrete Capable of measuring 100 to 1 k with additional circuitry Fourier transform (DFT) is processed by an on-board DSP Phase measurement capability engine. The DFT algorithm returns a real (R) and imaginary (I) System accuracy of 0.5% data-word at each output frequency. 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply operation Once calibrated, the magnitude of the impedance and relative Temperature range: 40C to +125C phase of the impedance at each frequency point along the sweep 16-lead SSOP package is easily calculated using the following two equations: APPLICATIONS 2 2 Magnitude = R + I Electrochemical analysis 1 Bioelectrical impedance analysis Phase = tan (I/R) Impedance spectroscopy A similar device, available from Analog Devices, Inc., is the Complex impedance measurement AD5933, which is a 2.7 V to 5.5 V, 1 MSPS, 12-bit impedance Corrosion monitoring and protection equipment converter, with an internal temperature sensor, available in a Biomedical and automotive sensors 16-lead SSOP.
