The AD5933 provides a single chip system level solution for impedance conversion. This integrated solution delivers unprecedented levels of precision and accuracy, available in a small package, requiring less design time, and at lower overall cost and power. This advanced level of integration is particularly important when processing small signals where excess noise, component tolerances, and temperature drift can adversely impact measurement accuracy. The AD5933 combines an onboard frequency generator and a 12-bit, 1 MSPS ADC for data collection, with integrated Fourier processing to measure the impedance, extracting real and imaginary components of the response signal at each frequency point. This compact and optimized converter is an ideal solution for industrial, instrumentation, automotive, and biomedical impedance sensing applications. • Data output as real and imaginary components allowing phase and impedance magnitude to be calculated Key Benefits • Ease of use/integrated solution • Eliminates need for discrete solution • All on-chip IC functions designed to provide synchronized optimal system performance over temperature • Compact 16-lead SSOP package Applications • Electrochemical impedance analysis • Proximity/inductive transducers/metal detection • Loudspeaker impedance measurement • Biomedical impedance analysis • Liquid/concentration analysis 1 To use device to measure impedance outside this range, contact factory. 2 To use this device at frequencies outside these ranges, contact factory.

A fundamental limitation exists. The impedance measurement apparatus remains separate from the audio system driving the loudspeaker. Now, by using the AD5933, these measurements can be incorporated in the audio chain. For example, at system power-up, the loudspeaker impedance and acoustics can be compared to a stored (calibrated) profile, changes measured, and diagnostic tests performed.

This provides a more accurate result than a single point measurement and allows the optimal operating point to be determined. There are a number of useful applications: • Proximity or presence detection—The magnetic field of an approaching or stationary object impacts resonant frequency of a detection coil. FO • Metal recognition—The permeability of a material impacts the impedance of a detection coil.
