Analog circuit engineers, are you having trouble with the following issues?
・There are few engineers with extensive knowledge of analog circuits, so it is difficult to prepare a development environment on your own
- Want to reduce evaluation man-hours by using digital correction rather than analog circuits
- The current analog circuitry is an old design, so there are concerns about supply and support...

This time, we will introduce the Nisshinbo Micro Devices AFE NA2202/2203/2204, which can solve such problems. Please read on.

4 features

1.High compatibility

We offer 16-bit (NA2202), 20-bit (NA2203), and 24-bit (NA2204) resolutions, and each product is pin-compatible,
It is now possible to use the same board to match the system's resolution requirements, reducing development time and increasing system flexibility.
All three products use the QFN4040-24-N package (pin compatible/foot pattern compatible)

2. High operability (easy-to-use digital correction function)

Digital correction function eliminates the need for complex analog correction circuit adjustments! Digital correction function eliminates the need for complex analog correction circuit adjustments!
The NA2202/2203/2204 has registers (datasheet P11-P23) that can be accessed through the SPI bus. Registers with different data lengths (2-3 bytes) are assigned to the 4-bit register address (0x0-0xF).
*Please refer to the register description table
・Offset correction: No need for an offset correction circuit using an op-amp → Just send one command from the MCU (Zero Point Adjustment)
・Gain correction: No need for op-amp-based gain correction circuit → Just send one command from the MCU (System Gain Adjustmet)

3.High integration (integration of external components onto one chip)

Equipped with a maximum 128x PGA and multiplexer in a QFN4040 (4mm x 4mm) package!
・The built-in multiplexer contributes to miniaturization of applications! (①)
In addition, various input configurations are possible depending on the application! (8 channel single-ended, 4 channel differential input, 4 channel pseudo differential input)
- Two built-in excitation current sources contribute to reducing the number of parts and saving space! (②)
- First stage ~ 32x PGA (③), next stage ~ 4x PGA (③') built-in, contributes to space saving by reducing external op amps and resistors x4pcs+α!

4.Safe design (with error detection function)

Equipped with a function to detect disconnection of sensors (such as thermocouples) Equipped with a function to detect disconnection of sensors (such as thermocouples) Normally, the ADC output is within the normal range, but if a disconnection occurs in the sensor circuit, the ADC output sticks to full scale, allowing the disconnection to be detected.
