notes 1 temperature range as follows: b version, C40 c to +85 c. 2 these numbers are established from characterization or design at initial product release. 3 a calibration is effectively a conversion so these errors will be of the order of the conversion noise shown in tables i and ii i. this applies after calibration at the temperature of interest. 4 recalibration at any temperature will remove these drift errors. 5 positive full-scale error includes zero-scale errors (unipolar offset error or bipolar zero error) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges. 6 full-scale drift includes zero-scale drift (unipolar offset drift or bipolar zero drift) and applies to both unipolar and bipol ar input ranges. 7 gain error does not include zero-scale errors. it is calculated as full-scale errorCunipolar offset error for unipolar ranges a nd full-scale errorCbipolar zero error for bipolar ranges. 8 gain error drift does not include unipolar offset drift/bipolar zero drift. it is effectively the drift of the part if zero sca le calibrations only were performed. 9 this common-mode voltage range is allowed provided that the input voltage on analog inputs does not go more positive than v dd + 30 mv or go more negative than gnd C 30 mv. parts are functional with voltages down to gnd C 200 mv, but with increased leakage at high temperature. 10 the analog input voltage range on ain(+) is given here with respect to the voltage on ain(C) on the ad7705 and is given with re spect to the common input on the ad7706. the absolute voltage on the analog inputs should not go more positive than v dd + 30 mv, or go more negative than gnd C 30 mv for specified performance, input voltages of gnd C 200 mv can be accommodated, but with increased leakage at high temperature. 11 v ref = ref in(+) C ref in(C). 12 these logic output levels apply to the mclk out only when it is loaded with one cmos load. 13 sample tested at +25 c to ensure compliance. 14 after calibration, if the analog input exceeds positive full scale, the converter will output all 1s. if the analog input is le ss than negative full scale, the device will output all 0s. 15 these calibration and span limits apply provided the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed v dd + 30 mv or go more negative than gnd C 30 mv. the offset calibration limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point. 16 when using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the mclk pins as the clock source for the device, the v dd current and power dissipation will vary depending on the crystal or resonator type (see clocking and oscillator circuit section). 17 if the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 m a typical at 5 v and 75 m a at 3 v. when using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the mclk pins as the clock source for the device, the internal oscillator continues to run in standby mode and the power dissipation depends on the crystal or resonator type (see standby mode section). 18 measured at dc and applies in the selected passband. psrr at 50 hz will exceed 120 db with filter notches of 25 hz or 50 hz. ps

ad7705/ad7706 C10C rev. a on-chip registers the ad7705/ad7706 contains eight on-chip registers which can be accessed via the serial port of the part. the first of these is a communications register that controls the channel selection, decides whether the next operation is a read or write operation an d also decides which register the next read or write operation accesses. all communications to the part must start with a write o pera- tion to the communications register. after power-on or reset , the device expects a write to its communications register. the data written to this register determines whether the next operation to the part is a read or a write operation and also determi nes to which register this read or write operation occurs. therefore, write access to any of the other registers on the part starts wi th a write operation to the communications register followed by a write to the selected register. a read operation from any other register on the part (including the communications register itself and the output data register) starts with a write operation to the commu nica- tions register followed by a read operation from the selected register. the communications register also controls the standby m ode and channel selection and the drdy status is also available by reading from the communications register. the second register is a setup register that determines calibration mode, gain setting, bipolar/unipolar operation and buffered mode. the third register is labelled the clock register and contains the filter selection bits and clock control bits. the fourth register is the data regi ster from which the output data from the part is accessed. the final registers are the calibration registers which store channel calibrat ion data. the registers are discussed in more detail in the following sections. communications register (rs2, rs1, rs0 = 0, 0, 0) the communications register is an 8-bit register from which data can either be read or to which data can be written. all commun i- cations to the part must start with a write operation to the communications register. the data written to the communications re g- ister determines whether the next operation is a read or write operation and to which register this operation takes place. once the subsequent read or write operation to the selected register is complete, the interface returns to where it expects a write oper ation to the communications register. this is the default state of the interface, and on power-up or after a reset , the ad7705/ad7706 is in this default state waiting for a write operation to the communications register. in situations where the interface sequence is lost, if a write operation of sufficient duration (containing at least 32 serial clock cycles) takes place with din high, the ad7705 returns to this default state. table v outlines the bit designations for the communications register. table v. communications register 0/ drdy (0) rs2 (0) rs1 (0) rs0 (0) r/ w (0) stby (0) ch1 (0) ch0 (0) 0/ drdy for a write operation, a 0 must be written to this bit so that the write operation to the communications register actually takes place. if a 1 is written to this bit, the part will not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. it will stay at this bit location until a 0 is written to this bit. once a 0 is written to this bit, the next seven bits will be loaded to the communications register. for a read operation, this bit provides the status of the drdy flag from the part. the status of this bit is the same as the drdy output pin. rs2Crs0 register selection bits. these three bits select to which one of eight on-chip registers the next read or write opera- tion takes place, as shown in table vi, along with the register size. when the read or write operation to the se- lected register is complete, the part returns to where it is waiting for a write operation to the communications register. it does not remain in a state where it will continue to access the register. temperature C 8 c C40 standby current C m a 0 4 8 16 20 12 C30 C20 C10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 v dd = 5v v dd = 3v mclk in = 0v or v dd figure 9. standby current vs. temperature ch1 5.00v ch2 2.00v 2 2 1 tek stop: single seq 50.0ks/s v dd oscillator = 4.9152 mhz oscillator = 2.4576 mhz 5ms/div figure 8. typical crystal oscillator power-up time

ad7705/ad7706 C15C rev. a circuit description the ad7705/ad7706 is a sigma-delta a/d converter with on- chip digital filtering, intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals such as those in industrial control or process control applications. it contains a sigma-delta (or charge-balancing) adc, a calibration microcontroller with on-chip static ram, a clock oscillator, a digital filter and a bi- directional serial communications port. the part consumes only 320 m a of power supply current, making it ideal for battery- powered or loop-powered instruments. these parts operate with a supply voltage of 2.7 v to 3.3 v or 4.75 v to 5.25 v. the ad7705 contains two programmable-gain fully differential analog input channels, while the ad7706 contains three pseudo differential analog input channels. the selectable gains on these inputs are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 allowing the part to accept unipolar signals of between 0 mv to +20 mv and 0 v to +2.5 v, or bipolar signals in the range from 20 mv to 2.5 v when the reference input voltage equals +2.5 v. with a refer- ence voltage of +1.225 v, the input ranges are from 0 mv to +10 mv to 0 v to +1.225 v in unipolar mode, and from 10 mv to 1.225 v in bipolar mode. note that the bipolar ranges are with respect to ain(C) on the ad7705, and with respect to common on the ad7706, and not with respect to gnd. the input signal to the analog input is continuously sampled at a rate determined by the frequency of the master clock, mclk in, and the selected gain. a charge-balancing a/d converter (sigma-delta modulator) converts the sampled signal into a digital pulse train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. the programmable gain function on the analog input is also incorporated in this sigma-delta modulator with the input sampling frequency being modified to give the higher gains. a sinc 3 digital low-pass filter processes the output of the sigma-delta modulator and updates the output register at a rate determined by the first notch frequency of this filter. the out- put data can be read from the serial port randomly or periodi- cally at any rate up to the output register update rate. the first notch of this digital filter (and hence its C3 db frequency) can be programmed via the setup register bits fs0 and fs1. with a master clock frequency of 2.4576 mhz, the programmable range for this first notch frequency is from 50 hz to 500 hz, giving a programmable range for the C3 db frequency of 13.1 hz to 131 hz. with a master clock frequency of 1 mhz, the programmable range for this first notch frequency is from 20 hz to 200 hz, giving a programmable range for the C3 db frequency of 5.24 hz to 52.4 hz. the basic connection diagram for the ad7705 is shown in figure 10. this shows the ad7705 being driven from the ana- log +5 v supply. an ad780, precision +2.5 v reference, pro- vides the reference source for the part. on the digital side, the part is configured for three-wire operation with cs tied to gnd. a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator provide the master clock source for the part. in most cases, it will be necessary to connect capacitors on the crystal or resonator to ensure that it does not oscillate at overtones of its fundamental operating fre- quency. the values of capacitors will vary, depending on the manufacturers specifications. the same setup applies to the ad7706. v dd analog +5v supply 10 m f ain1(+) ain1(C) ain2(+) ain2(C) differential analog input differential analog input gnd ref in(+) ref in(C) 10 m f v in analog +5v supply ad780/ ref192 v out gnd ad7705 drdy data ready dout receive (read) din serial data sclk serial clock reset +5v cs mclk in mclk out crystal or ceramic resonator 0.1 m f 0.1 m f figure 10. ad7705 basic connection diagram
ad7705/ad7706 C16C rev. a analog input analog input ranges the ad7705 contains two differential analog input pairs ain1(+), ain 1(C) and ain2(+), ain2(C). these input pairs provide programmable-gain, differential input channels that can handle either unipolar or bipolar input signals. it should be noted that the bipolar input signals are referenced to the re- spective ain(C) input of each input pair. the ad7706 contains three pseudo differential analog input pairs ain1, ain2 and ain3, which are referenced to the common input on the part. in unbuffered mode, the common-mode range of the input is from gnd to v dd , provided that the absolute value of the analog input voltage lies between gnd C 30 mv and v dd + 30 mv. this means that in unbuffered mode the part can handle both unipolar and bipolar input ranges for all gains. absolute voltages of gnd C 200 mv can be accommodated on the analog inputs at 25 c without degradation in performance, but leakage current increases appreciably with increasing tem- perature. in buffered mode, the analog inputs can handle much larger source impedances, but the absolute input voltage range is restricted to between gnd + 50 mv to v dd C 1.5 v which also places restrictions on the common-mode range. this means that in buffered mode there are some restrictions on the allowable gains for bipolar input ranges. care must be taken in setting up the common-mode voltage and input voltage range so that the above limits are not exceeded, otherwise there will be a degradation in linearity performance. in unbuffered mode, the analog inputs look directly into the 7 pf input sampling capacitor, c samp . the dc input leakage current in this unbuffered mode is 1 na maximum. as a result, the analog inputs see a dynamic load that is switched at the input sample rate (see figure 11). this sample rate depends on master clock frequency and selected gain. c samp is charged to ain(+) and discharged to ain(C) every input sample cycle. the effective on-resistance of the switch, r sw , is typically 7 k w . c samp must be charged through r sw and through any external source impedances every input sample cycle. therefore, in unbuffered mode, source impedances mean a longer charge time for c samp and this may result in gain errors on the part. table xiv shows the allowable external resistance/capacitance values, for unbuffered mode, such that no gain error to the 16-bit level is introduced on the part. note that these capacitances are total capacitances on the analog input, external capacitance plus 10 pf capacitance from the pins and lead frame of the device. ain(+) ain(C) switching frequency depends on f clkin and selected gain r sw (7k v typ) c samp (7pf) high impedance 1g v bias figure 11. unbuffered analog input

into the high-impedance inputs stage of the on-chip buffer amplifier. c samp is charged via this buffer amplifier such that source impedances do not affect the charging of c samp . this buffer amplifier has an o ffset leakage current of 1 na. in this buffered mode, large source impedances result in a small dc offset voltage developed across the source impedance, but not in a gain error. input sample rate the modulator sample frequency for the ad7705/ad7706 remains at f clkin /128 (19.2 khz @ f clkin = 2.4576 mhz) re- gardless of the selected gain. however, gains greater than 1 are achieved by a combination of multiple input samples per modu- lator cycle and a scaling of the ratio of reference capacitor to input capacitor. as a result of the multiple sampling, the input sample rate of the device varies with the selected gain (see table xv). in buffered mode, the input is buffered before the input sampling cap acitor. in unbuffered mode, where the analog input looks directly into the sampling capacitor, the effective input impedance is 1/c samp f s where c samp is the input sam- pling capacitance and f s is the input sample rate. table xv. input sampling frequency vs.

clkin /64 (307.2 khz @ f clkin = 2.4576 mhz) bipolar/unipolar inputs the analog inputs on the ad7705/ad7706 can accept either unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges. bipolar input ranges do not imply that the part can handle negative voltages on its analog input, since the analog input cannot go more negative than C30 mv to e nsure correct operation of these parts. the input channels are fully differential. as a result, on the ad7705, the voltage to which the unipolar and bipolar signals on the ain(+) input are referenced is the voltage on the respective ain(C) input. on the ad7706, the voltages applied to the analog input channels are referenced to the common input. for example, if ain1(C) is +2.5 v and the ad7705 is configured for unipolar operat ion with a gain of 2 and a v ref of +2.5 v, the input voltage range on the ain1(+) input is +2.5 v to +3.75 v. if ain1(C) is +2.5 v and the ad7705 is configured for bipolar mode with a gain of 2 and a v ref of +2.5 v, the analog input range on the ain1(+) input is +1.25 v to +3.75 v (i.e., 2.5 v 1.25 v). if ain1(C) is at gnd, the part cannot be configured for bipolar ranges in excess of 30 mv.
ad7705/ad7706 C17C rev. a bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the b /u bit of the setup register. this programs the channel for either unipolar or bipolar operation. programming the channel for either unipolar or bipolar operation does not change any of the input signal conditioning, it simply changes the data output coding and the points on the transfer function where calibra- tions occur. reference input the ad7705/ad7706s reference inputs, ref in(+) and ref in(C), provide a differential reference input capability. the common-mode range for these differential inputs is from gnd to v dd . the nominal reference voltage, v ref (ref in(+) C ref in(C)), for specified operation, is +2.5 v for the ad7705/ ad7706 operated with a v dd of 5 v and +1.225 v for the ad7705/ad 7706 operated with a v dd of 3 v. the part is func- tional with v ref voltages down to 1 v, but with degraded per- formance as the output noise will, in terms of lsb size, be larger. ref in(+) m ust always be greater than ref in(C) for correct operation of the ad7705/ad7706. both reference inputs provide a high impedance, dynamic load similar to the analog inputs in unbuffered mode. the maximum dc input leakage current is 1 na over temperature, and source resistance may result in gain errors on the part. in this case, the sampling switch resistance is 5 k w typ and the reference capaci- tor (c ref ) varies with gain. the sample rate on the reference inputs is f clkin /64 and does not vary with gain. for gains of 1 and 2, c ref is 8 pf; for a gain of 16, it is 5.5 pf, for a gain of 32, it is 4.25 pf, for a gain of 64, it is 3.625 pf and for a gain of 128, it is 3.3125 pf. the output noise performance outlined in tables i through iv is for an analog input of 0 v, which effectively removes the effect of noise on the reference. to obtain the same noise per- formance as shown in the noise tables over the full input range requires a low noise reference source for the ad7705/ad7706. if the reference noise in the bandwidth of interest is excessive, it will degrade the performance of the ad7705/ad7706. in appli- cations where the excitation voltage for the bridge transducer on the analog input also derives the reference voltage for the part, the effect of the noise in the excitation voltage will be removed as the application is ratiometric. recommended reference volt- age sources for the ad7705 with a v dd of 5 v include the ad780, ref43 and ref192, while the recommended reference sources for the ad7705 operated with a v dd of 3 v include the ad589 and ad1580. it is generally recommended to decouple the output of these references in order to further reduce the noise level. digital filtering the ad7705/ad7706 contains an on-chip low-pass digital filter which processes the output of the parts sigma-delta modulator. therefore, the part not only provides the analog-to-digital con- version function but also provides a level of filtering. there are a number of system differences when the filtering function is provided in the digital domain rather than the analog domain and the user should be aware of these. first, since digital filtering occurs after the a-to-d conversion process, it can remove noise injected during the conversion process. analog filtering cannot do this. also, the digital filter can be made programmable far more readily than an analog filter. depending on the digital filter design, this gives the user the capability of programming cutoff frequency and output update rate. on the other hand, analog filtering can remove noise superim- posed on the analog signal before it reaches the adc. digital filtering cannot do this and noise peaks riding on signals near full scale have the potential to saturate the analog modulator and digital filter, even though the average value of the signal is within limits. to alleviate this problem, the ad7705/ad7706 has overrange headroom built into the sigma-delta modulator and digital filter, which allows overrange excursions of 5% above the analog input range. if noise signals are larger than this, consideration should be given to analog input filtering, or to reducing the input channel voltage so that its full-scale is half that of the analog input channel full-scale. this will provide an overrange capability greater than 100% at the expense of reduc- ing the dynamic range by 1 bit (50%). in addition, the digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer multiples of the digital filters sample frequency. how- ever, the input sampling on the part provides attenuation at multiples of the digital filters sampling frequency so that the unat tenuated bands actually occur around multiples of the sampling frequency f s (as defined in table xv). thus the unattenuated bands occur at n f s (where n = 1, 2, 3 . . .). at these frequencies, there are frequency bands, f 3 db wide f 3 db is the cutoff frequency of the digital filter) at either side where noise passes unattenuated to the output. filter characteristics the ad7705/ad7706s digital filter is a low-pass filter with a (sinx/x) 3 response (also called sinc 3 ). the transfer function for this filter is described in the z-domain by: h ( z ) = 1 n 1 - z n 1 - z 1 3 and in the frequency domain by: h ( f ) = 1 n sin ( n p f / f s ) sin ( p f / f s ) 3 where n is the ratio of the modulator rate to the output rate. phase response: e h = 3 p ( n 2) f / f s rad figure 4 shows the filter frequency response for a cutoff fre- quency of 15.72 hz, which corresponds to a first filter notch frequency of 60 hz. the plot is shown from dc to 390 hz. this response is repeated at either side of the digital filters sample frequency and at either side of multiples of the filters sample frequency. the response of the filter is similar to that of an averaging filter, but with a sharper roll-off. the output rate for the digital filter corresponds with the positioning of the first notch of the filters frequency response. thus, for the plot of figure 12 where the output rate is 60 hz, the first notch of the filter is at 60 hz. the notches of this (sinx/x) 3 filter are repeated at multiples of the first notch. the filter provides attenuation of better than 100 db at these notches.

fs1 does not alter the profile of the filter response, it changes the frequency of the notches. the output update of the part and the frequency of the first notch correspond. since the ad7705/ad7706 contains this on-chip, low-pass filtering, a settling time is associated with step function inputs and data on the output will be invalid after a step change until the settling time has elapsed. the settling time depends upon the output rate chosen for the filter. the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input can be up to four times the output data period. for a synchronized step input (using the fsync function), the settling time is three times the output data period. frequency C hz 0 C140 C240 0 gain C db 60 120 180 240 300 360 C20 C160 C180 C60 C100 C40 C80 C200 C220 C120 figure 12. frequency response of ad7705 filter post-filtering the on-chip modulator provides samples at a 19.2 khz output rate with f clkin at 2.4576 mhz. the on-chip digital filter deci- mates these samples to provide data at an output rate that corre- sponds to the programmed output rate of the filter. since the output data rate is higher than the nyquist criterion, the output rate for a given bandwidth will satisfy most application require- ments. there may, however, be some applications which require a higher data rate for a given bandwidth and noise performance. applications that need this higher data rate will require some post-filtering following the digital filter of the ad7705/ad7706. for example, if the required bandwidth is 7.86 hz, but the required update rate is 100 hz, the data can be taken from the ad7705/ad7706 at the 100 hz rate giving a C3 db bandwidth of 26.2 hz. post-filtering can be applied to this to reduce the bandwidth and output noise, to the 7.86 hz bandwidth level, while maintaining an output rate of 100 hz. post-filtering can also be used to reduce the output noise from the device for bandwidths below 13.1 hz. at a gain of 128 and a bandwidth of 13.1 hz, the output rms noise is 450 nv. this is essentially device noise or white noise and since the input is chopped, the noise has a primarily flat frequency response. by reducing the bandwidth below 13.1 hz, the noise in the result- ant passband can be reduced. a reduction in bandwidth by a factor of 2 results in a reduction of approximately 1.25 in the output rms noise. this additional filtering will result in a longer settling-time. analog filtering the digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer mul- tiples of the modulator sample frequency, as outlined earlier. however, due to the ad7705/ad7706s high oversampling ratio, these bands occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum and most broadband noise is filtered. this means that the ana- log filtering requirements in front of the ad7705/ad7706 are considerably reduced versus a conventional converter with no on-chip filtering. in addition, because the parts common-mode rejection performance of 100 db extends out to several khz, common-mode noise in this frequency range will be substan- tially reduced. depending on the application, however, it may be necessary to provide attenuation prior to the ad7705/ad7706 in order to eliminate unwanted frequencies from these bands which the digital filter will pass. it may also be necessary in some applica- tions to provide analog filtering in front of the ad7705/ad7706 to ensure that differential noise signals outside the band of inter- est do not saturate the analog modulator. if passive components are placed in front of the ad7705/ad7706 in unbuffered mode, care must be taken to ensure that the source impedance is low enough not to introduce gain errors in the system. this significantly limits the amount of passive anti- aliasing filtering which can be provided in front of the ad7705/ ad7706 when it is used in unbuffered mode. how ever, when the part is used in buffered mode, large source impedances will simply result in a small dc offset error (a 10 k w source resistance will cause an offset error of less than 10 m v). therefore, if the system requires any significant source impedances to provide passive analog filtering in front of the ad7705/ad7706, it is recommended that the part be operated in buffered mode. calibration the ad7705/ad7706 provides a number of calibration options which can be programmed via the md1 and md0 bits of the setup register. the different calibration options are outlined in the setup register and calibration sequences sections. a cali- bration cycle may be initiated at any time by writing to these bits of the setup register. calibration on the ad7705/ad7706 removes offset and gain errors from the device. a calibration routine should be initiated on the device whenever there is a change in the ambient operating temperature or supply voltage. it should also be initiated if there is a change in the selected gain, filter notch or bipolar/unipolar input range. the ad7705/ad7706 offers self-calibration and system calibra- tion facilities. for full calibration to occur on the selected chan- nel, the on-chip microcontroller must record the modulator output for two different input conditions. these are zero- scale and full-scale points. these points are derived by performing a conversion on the different input voltages provided to the input of the modulator during calibration. as a result, the accuracy of the calibration can only be as good as the noise level that it provides in normal mode. the result of the zero-scale calibration conversion is stored in the zero-scale calibration register while the result of the full-scale calibration conver- sion is stored in the full-scale calibration register. with these readings, the microcontroller can calculate the offset and the gain slope for the input-to-output transfer function of the con- verter. internally, the part works with a resolution of 33 bits to determine its conversion result of 16 bits.
ad7705/ad7706 C19C rev. a self-calibration a self-calibration is initiated on the ad7705/ad7706 by writing the appropriate values (0, 1) to the md1 and md0 bits of the setup register. in the self-calibration mode with a unipo- lar input range, the zero scale point used in determining the calibration coefficients is with the inputs of the differential pair internally shorted on the part (i.e., ain(+) = ain(C) = internal bias voltage in the case of the ad7705 and ain = common = internal bias voltage on the ad7706). the pga is set for the selected gain (as per g1 and g0 bits in the com- munications register) for this zero-scale calibration conversion. the full-scale calibration conversion is performed at the selected gain on an internally-generated voltage of v ref /selected gain. the duration time for the calibration is 6 1/output rate. this is made up of 3 1/output rate for the zero-scale calibration and 3 1/output rate for the full-scale calibration. at this time the md1 and md0 bits in the setup register return to 0, 0. this gives the earliest indication that the calibration sequence is complete. the drdy line goes high when calibration is initi- ated and does not return low until there is a valid new word in the data register. the duration time from the calibration com- mand being issued to drdy going low is 9 1/output rate. this is made up of 3 1/output rate for the zero-scale calibra- tion, 3 1/output rate for the full-scale calibration, 3 1/output rate for a conversion on the analog input and some overhead to correctly set up the coefficients. if drdy is low before (or goes low during) the calibration command write to the setup regis- ter, it may take up to one modulator cycle ( mclk in/128) before drdy goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress. therefore, drdy should be ignored for up to one modulator cycle after the last bit is written to the setup register in the calibration command. for bipolar input ranges in the self-calibrating mode, the se- quence is very similar to that just outlined. in this case, the two points are exactly the same as above but, since the part is config- ured for bipolar operation, the shorted inputs point is actually midscale of the transfer function. system calibration system calibration allows the ad7705/ad7706 to compensate for system gain and offset errors as well as its own internal er- rors. system calibration performs the same slope factor calcula- tions as self-calibration, but uses voltage values presented by the system to the ain inputs for the zero- and full-scale points. full system calibration requires a two-step process, a zs system calibration followed by an fs system calibration. for a full system calibration, the zero-scale point must be pre- sented to the converter first. it must be applied to the converter before the calibration step is initiated and remain stable until the step is complete. once the system zero-scale voltage has been set up, a zs system calibration is then initiated by writing the appropriate values (1, 0) to the md1 and md0 bits of the setup register. the zero-scale system calibration is performed at the selected gain. the duration of the calibration is 3 1/output rate. at this time, the md1 and md0 bits in the setup register return to 0, 0. this gives the earliest indication that the calibra- tion sequence is complete. the drdy line goes high when calibration is initiated and does not return low until there is a valid new word in the data register. the duration time from the calibration command being issued to drdy going low is 4 1/output rate as the part performs a normal conversion on the ain voltage before drdy goes low. if drdy is low before (or goes low during) the calibration command write to the setup register, it may take up to one modulator cycle (mclk in/128) before drdy goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress. therefore, drdy should be ignored for up to one modulator cycle after the last bit is written to the setup register in the calibration command. after the zero-scale point is calibrated, the full-scale point is applied to ain and the second step of the calibration process is initiated by again writing the appropriate values (1, 1) to md1 and md0. again, the full-scale voltage must be set up before the calibration is initiated and it must remain stable throughout the calibration step. the full-scale system calibration is per- formed at the selected gain. the duration of the calibration is 3 1/output rate. at this time, the md1 and md0 bits in the setup register return to 0, 0. this gives the earliest indication that the calibration sequence is complete. the drdy line goes high when calibration is initiated and does not return low until there is a valid new word in the data register. the duration time from the calibration command being issued to drdy going low is 4 1/output rate as the part performs a normal conversion on the ain voltage before drdy goes low. if drdy is low before (or goes low during) the calibration command write to the setup register, it may take up to one modulator cycle (mclk in/128) before drdy goes high to indicate that cali- bration is in progress. therefore, drdy should be ignored for up to one modulator cycle after the last bit is written to the setup register in the calibration command. in the unipolar mode, the system calibration is performed be- tween the two endpoints of the transfer function; in the bipolar mode, it is performed between midscale (zero differential volt- age) and positive full-scale. the fact that the system calibration is a two-step calibration offers another feature. after the sequence of a full system cali- bration has been completed, additional offset or gain calibra- tions can be performed by themselves to adjust the system zero reference point or the system gain. calibrating one of the pa- rameters, either system offset or system gain, will not affect the other parameter. system calibration can also be used to remove any errors from source impedances on the analog input when the part is used in unbuffered mode. a simple r, c antialiasing filter on the front end may introduce a gain error on the analog input voltage, but the system calibration can be used to remove this error. span and offset limits whenever a system calibration mode is used, there are limits on the amount of offset and span which can be accommodated. the overriding requirement in determining the amount of offset and gain that can be accommodated by the part is the require- ment that the positive full-scale calibration limit is < 1.05 v ref /gain. this allows the input range to go 5% above the nominal range. the built-in headroom in the ad7705/ad7706s analog modulator ensures that the part will still operate cor- rectly with a positive full-scale voltage that is 5% beyond the nominal. the range of input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes has a minimum value of 0.8 v ref /gain and a maximum value of 2.1 v ref /gain. however, the span (which is the difference between the bottom of the ad7705/ad7706s input
ad7705/ad7706 C20C rev. a range and the top of its input range) has to take into account the limitation on the positive full-scale voltage. the amount of offset which can be accommodated depends on whether the unipolar or bipolar mode is being used. once again, the offset has to take into account the limitation on the positive full-scale voltage. in unipolar mode, there is considerable flexibility in handling negative (with respect to ain(C) on the ad7705 and with respect to common on the ad7706) offsets. in both unipolar and bipolar modes, the range of positive offsets that can be handled by the part depends on the selected span. there- fore, in determining the limits for system zero-scale and full- scale calibrations, the user has to ensure that the offset range plus the span range does exceed 1.05 v ref /gain. this is best illustrated by looking at a few examples. if the part is used in unipolar mode with a required span of 0.8 v ref /gain, the offset range the system calibration can handle is from C1.05 v ref /gain to +0.25 v ref /gain. if the part is used in unipolar mode with a required span of v ref / gain, the offset range the system calibration can handle is from C1.05 v ref /gain to +0.05 v ref /gain. similarly, if the part is used in unipolar mode and required to r emove an offset of 0.2 v ref /gain, the span range the system calibration can handle is 0.85 v ref /gain. ad7705/ad7706 input range (0.8 3 v ref /gain to 2.1 3 v ref /gain) upper limit on ad7705 input voltage nominal zero scale point offset calibrations move input range up or down lower

part is used in bipolar mode with a required span of 0.4 v ref /gain, the offset range the system calibration can handle is from C0.65 v ref /gain to +0.65 v ref /gain. if the part is used in bipolar mode with a required span of v ref /gain, then the offset range which the system calibration can handle is from C0.05 v ref /gain to +0.05 v ref /gain. similarly, if the part is used in bipolar mode and required to remove an offset of 0.2 v ref /gain, the span range the sys- tem calibration can handle is 0.85 v ref /gain. power-up and calibration on power-up, the ad7705/ad7706 performs an internal reset that sets the contents of the internal registers to a known state. there are default values loaded to all registers after power-on or reset. the default values contain nominal calibration coefficients for the calibration registers. however, to ensure correct calibra- tion for the device, a calibration routine should be performed after power-up. the power dissipation and temperature drift of the ad7705/ ad7706 are low and no warm-up time is required before the initial calibration is performed. however, if an external refer- ence is being used, this reference must have stabilized before calibration is initiated. similarly, if the clock source for the part is generated from a crystal or resonator across the mclk pins, the start-up time for the oscillator circuit should elapse before a calibration is initiated on the part (see below). mclk in mclk out crystal or ceramic resonator c1 c2 ad7705/ad7706 figure 14. crystal/resonator connection for the ad7705/ad7706 using the ad7705/ad7706 clocking and oscillator circuit the ad7705/ad7706 requires a master clock input, which may be an external cmos compatible clock signal applied to the mclk in pin with the mclk out pin left unconnected. alternatively, a crystal or ceramic resonator of the correct fre- quency can be connected between mclk in and mclk out as shown in figure 6, in which case the clock circuit will function as an oscillator, providing the clock source for the part. the input sampling frequency, the modulator sampling frequency, the C3 db frequency, output update rate and calibration time are all directly related to the master clock frequency, f clkin . reducing the master clock frequency by a factor of 2 will halve the above frequencies and update rate and double the calibra- tion time. the current drawn from the v dd power supply is also related to f clkin . reducing f clkin by a factor of 2 will halve the digital part of the total v dd current but will not affect the cur- rent drawn by the analog circuitry. using the part with a crystal or ceramic resonator between the mclk in and mclk out pins generally causes more cur- rent to be drawn from v dd than when the part is clocked from a driven clock signal at the mclk in pin. this is because the on-chip oscillator circuit is active in the case of the crystal or ceramic resonator. therefore, the lowest possible current on the ad7705/ad7706 is achieved with an externally applied clock at the mclk in pin with mclk out unconnected, unloaded and disabled. the amount of additional current taken by the oscillator de- pends on a number of factorsfirst, the larger the value of capacitor (c1 and c2) placed on the mclk in and mclk out pins, the larger the current consumption on the ad7705/ ad7706. care should be taken not to exceed the capacitor values recommended by the crystal and ceramic resonator manufacturers to avoid consuming unnecessary current. typical values for c1 and c2 are recommended by crystal or ceramic resonator manufacturers, these are in the range of 30 pf to 50 pf and if the capacitor values on mclk in and mclk out are kept in this range they will not result in any excessive current. another factor that influences the current is the effec- tive series resistance (esr) of the crystal that appears between the mclk in and mclk out pins of the ad7705/ad7706. as a general rule, the lower the esr value the lower the current taken by the oscillator circuit.
ad7705/ad7706 C21C rev. a when operating with a clock frequency of 2.4576 mhz, there is 50 m a difference in the current between an externally applied clock and a crystal resonator when operating with a v dd of +3 v. with v dd = +5 v and f clkin = 2.4576 mhz, the typical current increases by 250 m a for a crystal/resonator supplied clock versus an externally applied clock. the esr values for crystals and resonators at this frequency tend to be low and as a result there tends to be little difference between different crystal and resonator types. when operating with a clock frequency of 1 mhz, the esr value for different crystal types varies significantly. as a result, the current drain varies across crystal types. when using a crys- tal with an esr of 700 w or when using a ceramic resonator, the increase in the typical current over an externally-applied clock is 20 m a with v dd = +3 v and 200 m a with v dd = +5 v. when using a crystal with an esr of 3 k w , the increase in the typical current over an externally applied clock is again 100 m a with v dd = +3 v but 400 m a with v dd = +5 v. the on-chip oscillator circuit also has a start-up time associated with it before it is oscillating at its correct frequency and correct voltage levels. typical start-up times with v dd = 5 v are 6 ms using a 4.9512 mhz crystal, 16 ms with a 2.4576 mhz crystal and 20 ms with a 1 mhz crystal oscillator. start-up times are typically 20% slower when the power supply voltage is reduced to 3 v. at 3 v supplies, depending on the loading capacitances on the mclk pins, a 1 m w feedback resistor may be required across the crystal or resonator in order to keep the start up times around the 20 ms duration. the ad7705/ad7706s master clock appears on the mclk out pin of the device. the maximum recommended load on this pin is one cmos load. when using a crystal or ceramic resonator to generate the ad7705/ad7706s clock, it may be desirable to use this clock as the clock source for the system. in this case, it is recommended that the mclk out signal is buffered with a cmos buffer before being applied to the rest of the circuit. system synchronization the fsync bit of the setup register allows the user to reset the modulator and digital filter without affecting any of the setup conditions on the part. this allows the user to start gath- ering samples of the analog input from a known point in time, i.e., when the fsync is changed from 1 to 0. with a 1 in the fsync bit of the setup register, the digital filter and analog modulator are held in a known reset state and the part is not processing any input samples. when a 0 is then written to the fsync bit, the modulator and filter are taken out of this reset state and the part starts to gather samples again on the next master clock edge. the fsync input can also be used as a software start convert command allowing the ad7705/ad7706 to be operated in a conventional converter fashion. in this mode, writing to the fsync bit starts conversion and the falling edge of drdy indicates when conversion is complete. the disadvantage of this scheme is that the settling time of the filter has to be taken into account for every data register update. this means that the rate at which the data register is updated is three times slower in this mode. since the fsync bit resets the digital filter, the full settling time of 3 1/output rate has to elapse before there is a new word loaded to the output register on the part. if the drdy signal is low when fsync goes to a 0, the drdy signal will not be reset high by the fsync command. this is because the ad7705/ad7706 recognizes that there is a word in the data register which has not been read. the drdy line will stay low until an update of the data register takes place, at which time it will go high for 500 t clkin before returning low again. a read from the data register resets the drdy signal high and it will not return low until the settling time of the filter has elapsed (from the fsync command) and there is a valid new word in the data register. if the drdy line is high when the fsync command is issued, the drdy line will not return low until the settling time of the filter has elapsed. reset input the reset input on the ad7705/ad7706 resets all the logic, the digital filter and the analog modulator, while all on-chip registers are reset to their default state. drdy is driven high and the ad7705/ad7706 ignores all communications to any of its registers while the reset input is low. when the reset input returns high, the ad7705/ad7706 starts to process data and drdy will return low in 3 1/output rate indicating a valid new word in the data register. however, the ad7705/ ad7706 operates with its default setup conditions after a reset and it is generally necessary to set up all registers and carry out a calibration after a reset command. the ad7705/ad7706s on-chip oscillator circuit continues to function even when the reset input is low. the master clock signal continues to be available on the mclk out pin. there- fore, in applications where the system clock is provided by the ad7705/ad7706s clock, the ad7705/ad7706 produces an uninterrupted master clock during reset commands. standby mode the stby bit in the communications register of the ad7705/ ad7706 allows the user to place the part in a power-down mode when it is not required to provide conversion results. the ad7705/ad7706 retains the contents of all its on-chip registers (including the data register) while in standby mode. when re- leased from standby mode, the part starts to process data and a new word is available in the data register in 3 1/output rate from when a 0 is written to the stby bit. the stby bit does not affect the digital interface, nor does it affect the status of the drdy line. if drdy is high when the stby bit is brought low, it will remain high until there is a valid new word in the data register. if drdy is low when the stby bit is brought low, it will remain low until the data register is updated, at which time the drdy line will return high for 500 t clkin before returning low again. if drdy is low when the part enters its standby mode (indicating a valid unread word in the data register), the data register can be read while the part is in standby. at the end of this read operation, the drdy will be reset high as normal.
ad7705/ad7706 C22C rev. a placing the part in standby mode reduces the total current to 9 m a typical with v dd = 5 v and 4 m a with v dd = 3 v when the part is operated from an external master clock provided this master clock is stopped. if the external clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 m a typical with 5 v supplies and 75 m a typical with 3.3 v supplies. if a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the clock source, the total current in standby mode is 400 m a typical with 5 v supplies and 90 m a with 3.3 v supplies. this is because the on-chip oscillator circuit continues to run when the part is in its standby mode. this is important in applications where the system clock is pro- vided by the ad7705/ad7706s clock, so that the ad7705/ ad7706 produces an uninterrupted master clock even when it is in its standby mode. accuracy sigma-delta adcs, like vfcs and other integrating adcs, do not contain any source of nonmonotonicity and inherently offer no missing codes performance. the ad7705/ad7706 achieves excellent linearity by the use of high quality, on-chip capacitors, which have a very low capacitance/voltage coefficient. the de- vice also achieves low input drift through the use of chopper- stabilized techniques in its input stage. to ensure excellent performance over time and temperature, the ad7705/ad7706 uses digital calibration techniques that minimize offset and gain error. drift considerations the ad7705/ad7706 uses chopper stabilization techniques to minimize input offset drift. charge injection in the analog switches and dc leakage currents at the sampling node are the primary sources of offset voltage drift in the converter. the dc input leakage current is essentially independent of the selected gain. gain drift within the converter depends primarily upon the temperature tracking of the internal capacitors. it is not affected by leakage currents. measure ment errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be eliminated at any time by recalibrating the converter. using the system calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors in the signal conditioning circuitry. integral and differen- tial linearity errors are not significantly affected by temperature changes. power supplies the ad7705/ad7706 operates with a v dd power supply be- tween 2.7 v and 5.25 v. while the latch-up performance of the ad7705/ad7706 is good, it is important that power is applied to the ad7705/ad7706 before signals at ref in, ain or the logic input pins in order to avoid excessive currents. if this is not possible, the current that flows in any of these pins should be limited. if separate supplies are used for the ad7705/ad7706 and the system digital circuitry, the ad7705/ad7706 should be powered up first. if it is not possible to guarantee this, current limiting resistors should be placed in series with the logic inputs to again limit the current. latch-up current is greater than 100 ma. supply current the current consumption on the ad7705/ad7706 is specified for supplies in the range +2.7 v to +3.3 v and in the range +4.75 v to +5.25 v. the part operates over a +2.7 v to +5.25 v su pply range and the i dd for the part varies as the supply voltage varies over this range. there is an internal current boost bit on the ad7705/ad7706 that is set internally in accordance with the operating conditions. this affects the current drawn by the analog circuitry within these devices. mini mum power consump- tion is achieved when the ad7705/ad 7706 is operated with an f clkin of 1 mhz or at gains of 1 to 4 with f clkin = 2.4575 mhz as the internal boost bit is off reducing the analog current con- sumption. figure 15 shows the variation of the typical i dd with v dd voltage for both a 1 mhz crystal oscillator and a 2.4576 mhz crystal oscillator at +25 c. the ad7705/ad7706 is operated in unbuffered mode. the relationship shows that the i dd is mini- mized by operating the part with lower v dd voltages. i dd on the ad7705/ad7706 is also minimized by using an external master clock or by optimizing external components when using the on-chip oscillator circuit. figures 3, 4, 6 and 7 show variations in i dd with gain, v dd and clock frequency using an external clock. v dd 1600 0 i dd C m a 1400 800 600 400 200 1200 1000 2.5 5.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 mclk in = crystal

most of the voltages in the analog modulator are common-mode volt- ages. the excellent common-mode rejection of the part will remove common-mode noise on these inputs. the digital filter will provide rejection of broadband noise on the power supplies, except at integer multiples of the modulator sampling frequency. the digital filter also removes noise from the analog and refer- ence inputs provided those noise sources do not saturate the analog modulator. as a result, the ad7705/ad7706 is more immune to noise interference than a conventional high resolu- tion converter. however, because the resolution of the ad7705/ ad7706 is so high, and the noise levels from the ad7705/ ad7706 so low, care must be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
ad7705/ad7706 C23C rev. a the printed circuit board that houses the ad7705 should be designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. this facilitates the use of ground planes which can be separated easily. a minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding. digital and analog ground planes should only be joined in one place to avoid ground loops. if the ad7705/ad7706 is in a system where multiple devices require agnd-to-dgnd connections, the connection should be made at one point only, a star ground point which should be established as close as possible to the ad7705 gnd. avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple noise onto the die. the analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the ad7705/ad7706 to avoid noise coupling. the power supply lines to the ad7705/ad7706 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. fast switching signals like clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board and clock signals should never be run near the analog inputs. avoid cross- over of digital and analog signals. traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. this will reduce the effects of feedthrough through the board. a micro- strip technique is by far the best, but is not always possible with a double-sided board. in this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side. good decoupling is important when using high resolution adcs. all analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 m f tantalum in parallel with 0.1 m f ceramic capacitors to gnd. to achieve the best from these decoupling components, they have to be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. all logic chips should be decoupled with 0.1 m f disc ceramic capacitors to dgnd. evaluating the ad7705/ad7706 performance the recommended layout for the ad7705 and ad7706 is out- lined in their associated evaluation. these evaluation board packages include a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, software for controlling the board over the printer port of a pc and software for analyzing their perfor- mance on the pc. noise levels in the signals applied to the ad7705/ad7706 may also affect performance of the part. the ad7705/ad7706 soft- ware evaluation package allows the user to evaluate the true performance of the part, independent of the analog input signal. the scheme involves using a test mode on the part where the inputs to the ad7705 are internally shorted together to provide a zero differential voltage for the analog modulator. external to the device, the ain1(C) input on the ad7705 should be con- nected to a voltage that is within the allowable common-mode range of the part. similarly, on the ad7706 the common input should be connected to a voltage within its allowable common-mode range for evaluation purposes. this scheme should be used after a calibration has been performed on the part. digital interface as previously outlined, the ad7705/ad7706s programmable functions are controlled using a set of on-chip registers. data is written to these registers via the parts serial interface and read access to the on-chip registers is also provided by this interface. all communications to the part must start with a write operation to the communications register. after power-on or reset, the device expects a write to its communications register. the data written to this register determines whether the next opera- tion to the part is a read or a write operation and also deter- mines to which register this read or write operation occurs. therefore, write access to any of the other registers on the part starts with a write operation to the communications register followed by a write to the selected register. a read operation from any other register on the part (including the output data register) starts with a write operation to the communications register followed by a read operation from the selected register. the ad7705/ad7706s serial interface consists of five signals, cs , sclk, din, dout and drdy . the din line is used for transferring data into the on-chip registers while the dout line is used for accessing data from the on-chip registers. sclk is the serial clock input for the device and all data transfers (either on din or dout) take place with respect to this sclk signal. the drdy line is used as a status signal to indicate when data is ready to be read from the ad7705/ad7706s data register. drdy goes low when a new data word is available in the out- put register. it is reset high when a read operation from the data register is complete. it also goes high prior to the updating of the output register to indicate when not to read from the device to ensure that a data read is not attempted while the register is being updated. cs is used to select the device. it can be used to decode the ad7705/ad7706 in systems where a number of parts are connected to the serial bus.
ad7705/ad7706 C24C rev. a figures 16 and 17 show timing diagrams for interfacing to the ad7705/ad7706 with cs used to decode the part. figure 16 is for a read operation from the ad7705/ad7706s output shift register while figure 17 shows a write operation to the input shift register. it is possible to read the same data twice from the output register even though the drdy line returns high after the first read operation. care must be taken, however, to ensure that the read operations have been completed before the next output update is about to take place. the ad7705/ad7706 serial interface can operate in three-wire mode by tying the cs input low. in this case, the sclk, din and dout lines are used to communicate with the ad7705/ ad7706 and the status of drdy can be obtained by interrogat- ing the msb of the communications register. this scheme is suitable for interfacing to microcontrollers. if cs is required as a decoding signal, it can be generated from a port bit. for microcontroller interfaces, it is recommended that the sclk idles high between data transfers. the ad7705/ad7706 can also be operated with cs used as a frame synchronization signal. this scheme is suitable for dsp interfaces. in this case, the first bit (msb) is effectively clocked out by cs since cs would normally occur after the falling edge of sclk in dsps. the sclk can continue to run between data transfers provided the timing numbers are obeyed. drdy cs t 3 t 4 t 6 t 7 t 5 t 10 t 9 t 8 sclk dout msb lsb figure 16. read cycle timing diagram cs t 11 t 14 t 15 t 12 t 16 sclk din msb lsb t 13 figure 17. write cycle timing diagram the serial interface can be reset by exercising the reset input on the part. it can also be reset by writing a series of 1s on the din input. if a logic 1 is written to the ad7705/ad7706 din line for at least 32 serial clock cycles the serial interface is reset. this ensures that in three-wire systems, if the interface gets lost either via a software error or by some glitch in the system, it can be reset back to a known state. this state returns the interface to where the ad7705/ad7706 is expecting a write operation to its communications register. this operation in itself does not reset the contents of any registers but since the interface was lost, the information written to any of the registers is unknown and it is advisable to set up all registers again. some microprocessor or microcontroller serial interfaces have a single serial data line. in this case, it is possible to connect the ad7705/ad7706s data out and data in lines together and connect them to the single data line of the processor. a 10 k w pull-up resistor should be used on this single data line. in this case, if the interface gets lost, because the read and write operations share the same line the procedure to reset it back to a known state is somewhat different than previously described. it requires a read operation of 24 serial clocks followed by a write operation where a logic 1 is written for at least 32 serial clock cycles to ensure that the serial interface is back into a known state.

ad7705/ad7706 C26C rev. a microcomputer/microprocessor interfacing the ad7705/ad7706s flexible serial interface allows for easy interface to most microcomputers and microprocessors. the flowchart of figure 10 outlines the sequence that should be followed when interfacing a microcontroller or microprocessor to the ad7705/ad7706. figures 19, 20 and 21 show some typical interface circuits. the serial interface on the ad7705/ad7706 is capable of oper- ating from just three wires and is compatible with spi interface protocols. the three-wire operation makes the part ideal for isolated systems where minimizing the number of interface lines minimizes the number of opto-isolators required in the system. the serial clock input is a schmitt triggered input to accommo- date slow edges from opto-couplers. the rise and fall times of other digital inputs to the ad7705/ad7706 should be no longer than 1 m s. most of the registers on the ad7705/ad7706 are 8-bit regis- ters, which facilitates easy interfacing to the 8-bit serial ports of microcontrollers. the data register on the ad7705/ad7706 is 16 bits, and the offset and gain registers are 24-bit registers but data transfers to these registers can consist of multiple 8-bit transfers to the serial port of the microcontroller. dsp proces- sors and microprocessors generally transfer 16 bits of data in a serial data operation. some of these processors, such as the adsp-2105, have the facility to program the amount of cycles in a serial transfer. this allows the user to tailor the number of bits in any transfer to match the register length of the required register in the ad7705/ad7706. even though some of the registers on the ad7705/ad7706 are only eight bits in length, communicating with two of these regis- ters in successive write operations can be handled as a single 16- bit data transfer if required. for example, if the setup register is to be updated, the processor must first write to the communi- cations register (saying that the next operation is a write to the setup register) and then write eight bits to the setup register. if required, this can all be done in a single 16-bit transfer be- cause once the eight serial clocks of the write operation to the communications register have been completed, the part imme- diately sets itself up for a write operation to the setup register. ad7705/ad7706 to 68hc11 interface figure 19 shows an interface between the ad7705/ad7706 and the 68hc11 microcontroller. the diagram shows the minimum (three-wire) interface with cs on the ad7705/ad7706 hard- wired low. in this scheme, the drdy bit of the communica- tions register is monitored to determine when the data register is updated. an alternative scheme, which increases the number of interface lines to four, is to monitor the drdy output line from the ad7705/ad7706. the monitoring of the drdy line can be done in two ways. first, drdy can be connected to one of the 68hc11s port bits (such as pc0), which is configured as an input. this port bit is then polled to determine the status of drdy . the second scheme is to use an interrupt driven system, in which case the drdy output is connected to the irq input of the 68hc11. for interfaces that require control of the cs input on the ad7705/ad7706, one of the port bits of the 68hc11 (such as pc1), which is configured as an output, can be used to drive the cs input. ss sck miso mosi 68hc11 reset sclk data out data in cs ad7705/ad7706 v dd v dd figure 19. ad7705/ad7706 to 68hc11 interface the 68hc11 is configured in the master mode with its cpol bit set to a logic one and its cpha bit set to a logic one. when the 68hc11 is configured like this, its sclk line idles high between data transfers. the ad7705/ad7706 is not capable of full duplex operation. if the ad7705/ad7706 is configured for a write operation, no data appears on the data out lines even when the sclk input is active. similarly, if the ad7705/ ad7706 is configured for a read operation, data presented to the part on the data in line is ignored even when sclk is active. coding for an interface between the 68hc11 and the ad7705/ ad7706 is given in table xv. in this example, the drdy output line of the ad7705/ad7706 is connected to the pc0 port bit of the 68hc11 and is polled to determine its status. p3.0 p3.1 8xc51 reset sclk data out data in cs ad7705/ad7706 v dd v dd figure 20. ad7705/ad7706 to 8xc51 interface ad7705/ad7706 to 8051 interface an interface circuit between the ad7705/ad7706 and the 8xc51 microcontroller is shown in figure 20. the diagram shows the minimum number of interface connections with cs on the ad7705/ad7706 hard-wired low. in the case of the 8xc51 interface the minimum number of interconnects is just two. in this scheme, the drdy bit of the communications register is monitored to determine when the data register is updated. the alternative scheme, which increases the number of
ad7705/ad7706 C27C rev. a interface lines to three, is to monitor the drdy output line from the ad7705/ad7706. the monitoring of the drdy line can be done in two ways. first, drdy can be connected to one of the 8xc51s port bits (such as p1.0) which is configured as an input. this port bit is then polled to determine the status of drdy . the second scheme is to use an interrupt-driven system, in which case the drdy output is connected to the int1 input of the 8xc51. for interfaces that require control of the cs input on the ad7705/ad7706, one of the port bits of the 8xc51 (such as p1.1), which is configured as an output, can be used to drive the cs input. the 8xc51 is configured in its mode 0 serial interface mode. its serial interface contains a single data line. as a result, the data out and data in pins of the ad7705/ad7706 should be connected together with a 10 k w pull-up resistor. the serial clock on the 8xc51 idles high between data transfers. the 8xc51 outputs the lsb first in a write operation, while the ad7705/ad7706 expects the msb first so the data to be transmitted has to be rearranged before being written to the output serial register. similarly, the ad 7705/ad7706 outputs the msb first during a read op- eration while the 8xc51 expects the lsb first. therefore, the data read into the serial buffer needs to be rearranged before the correct data word from the ad7705/ad7706 is available in the accumulator. rfs dt adsp-2103/ adsp-2105 reset sclk data out data in cs ad7705/ad7706 v dd tfs dr sclk figure 21. ad7705/ad7706 to adsp-2103/adsp-2105 interface ad7705/ad7706 to adsp-2103/adsp-2105 interface figure 21 shows an interface between the ad7705/ad7706 and the adsp-2103/adsp-2105 dsp processor. in the interface shown, the drdy bit of the communications register is again monitored to determine when the data register is updated. the alternative scheme is to use an interrupt-driven system, in which case the drdy output is connected to the irq2 input of the adsp-2103/adsp-2105. the serial interface of the adsp- 2103/adsp-2105 is set up for alternate framing mode. the rfs and tfs pins of the adsp-2103/adsp-2105 are config- ured as active low outputs and the adsp-2103/adsp-2105 serial clock line, sclk, is also configured as an output. the cs for the ad7705/ad7706 is active when either the rfs or tfs outputs from the adsp-2103/adsp-2105 are active. the serial clock rate on the adsp-2103/adsp-2105 should be limited to 3 mhz to ensure correct operation with the ad7705/ad7706. code for setting up the ad7705/ad7706 table xvii gives a set of read and write routines in c code for interfacing the 68hc11 microcontroller to the ad7705. the sample program sets up the various registers on the ad7705 and reads 1000 samples from the part into the 68hc11. the setup conditions on the part are exactly the same as those out- lined for the flowchart of figure 18. in the example code given here, the drdy output is polled to determine if a new valid word is available in the data register. the very same sequence is applicable for the ad7706. the sequence of the events in this program are as follows: 1. write to the communications register, selecting channel one as the active channel and setting the next operation to be a write to the clock register. 2. write to clock register setting the clk div bit which divides the external clock internally by two. this assumes that the external crystal is 4.9512 mhz. the update rate is selected to be 50 hz. 3. write to communication register selecting channel 1 as the active channel and setting the next operation to be a write to the setup register. 4. write to the setup register, setting the gain to 1, setting bipolar mode, buffer off, clearing the filter synchronization and initiating a self-calibration. 5. poll the drdy output. 6. read the data from the data register. 7. loop around doing steps 5 and 6 until the specified number of samples have been taken from the selected channel.

function. because the analog-to-digital func- tion is provided by a sigma-delta architecture, it makes the part more immune to noisy environments thus making the part ideal for use in industrial and process control applications. it also provides a programmable gain amplifier, a digital filter and calibration options. thus, it provides far more system level functionality than off-the-shelf integrating adcs without the disadvantage of having to supply a high quality integrating ca- pacitor. in addition, using the ad7705 in a system allows the system designer to achieve a much higher level of resolution because noise performance of the ad7705 is better than that of the integrating adcs. the on-chip pga allows the ad7705 to handle an analog input voltage range as low as 10 mv full-scale with v ref = +1.25 v. the differential inputs of the part allow this analog input range to have an absolute value anywhere between gnd and v dd when the part is operated in unbuffered mode. it allows the user to connect the transducer directly to the input of the ad7705. the programmable gain front end on the ad7705 allows the part to handle unipolar analog input ranges from 0 mv to +20 mv to 0 v to +2.5 v and bipolar inputs of 20 mv to 2.5 v. because the part operates from a single supply these bipolar ranges are with respect to a biased-up differential input. ad7705 v dd +5v

pressure measurement using the ad7705 pressure measurement one typical application of the ad7705 is pressure measure- ment. figure 22 shows the ad7705 used with a pressure transducer, the bp01 from sensym. the pressure transducer is arranged in a bridge network and gives a differential output voltage between its out(+) and out(C) terminals. with rated full-scale pressure (in this case 300 mmhg) on the transducer, the differential output voltage is 3 mv/v of the input voltage (i.e., the voltage between its in(+) and in(C) terminals). assuming a 5 v excitation voltage, the full-scale output range from the transducer is 15 mv. the excitation voltage for the bridge is also used to generate the reference voltage for the ad7705. therefore, variations in the excitation voltage do not introduce errors in the system. choosing resistor values of 24 k w and 15 k w , as per figure 22, gives a 1.92 v reference voltage for the ad7705 when the excitation voltage is 5 v. using the part with a programmed gain of 128 results in the full-scale input span of the ad7705 being 15 mv, which corre- sponds with the output span from the transducer. the second channel on the ad7705 can be used as an auxiliary channel to measure a secondary variable such as temperature as shown in figure 22. this secondary channel can be used as a means of adjusting the output of the primary channel, thus removing temperature effects in the system. ad7705 v dd +5v ain1(+) ain1(C) thermocouple junction ref in(+) ref in(C) gnd mclk in mclk out reset drdy ref192 gnd output dout din cs sclk +5v figure 23. temperature measurement using the ad7705 temperature measurement another application area for the ad7705 is in temperature measurement. figure 23 outlines a connection from a thermo- couple to the ad7705. in this application, the ad7705 is oper- ated in its buffered mode to allow large decoupling capacitors on the front end to eliminate any noise pickup that may have been in the thermocouple leads. when the ad7705 is operated in buffered mode, it has a reduced common-mode range. in order to place the differential voltage from the thermocouple on a suitable common-mode voltage, the ain1(C) input of the ad7705 is biased up at the reference voltage, +2.5 v. figure 23 shows another temperature measurement application for the a d7705. in this case, the transducer is an rtd (re- sistive temperature device), a pt1 00. the arrangement is a 4-lead rtd configuration. there are voltage drops across the lead resistances r l1 and r l4 but these simply shift the common- mode voltage. there is no voltage drop across lead resistances r l2 and r l3 as the input current to the ad7705 is very low . the lead resistances present a small source impedance so it would not generally be necessary to turn on the buffer on the ad7705. if the buffer is required, the common-mode voltage should be set accordingly by inserting a small resistance be- tween the bottom end of the rtd and gnd of the ad7705. in the application shown, an external 400 m a current source provides the excitation current for the pt100 and also generates the reference voltage for the ad7705 via the 6.25 k w resistor. variations in the excitation current do not affect the circuit as both the input voltage and the reference voltage vary radiometri- cally with the excitation current. however, the 6.25 k w resistor

ad7705/ad7706 C31C rev. a battery monitoring another area where the low power, single supply operation is a requirement is battery monitoring in portable equipment appli- cations. figure 26 shows a block diagram of a battery monitor that includes the ad7705 and an external multiplexer used to differentially measure the voltage across a single cell. the sec- ond channel on the ad7705 is used to monitor current drain from the battery. the ad7705 with its dual input channel is ideally suited to measurement systems requiring two input chan- nels, as in this case, to monitor voltage and current. since the ad7705 can accommodate very low input signals the r sense vcell 1 r sense ain1(+) ain1(C) ain2(+) ain2(C) ref in(C) ad7705 v dd ref in(+) 1.225v ref voltage regulators vcell 2 vcell 3 vcell 4 vdiff1 vdiff2 vdiff3 vdiff4 dc battery charging source load on/off switch +5v +3v gnd 4-to-1 differential multiplexer figure 26. battery monitoring using the ad7705 can be kept low reducing undesired power dissipation. operat- ing with a gain of 128, a 9.57 mv full-scale signal can be measured with a resolution of 2 m v, giving 13.5 bits of flicker- free performance in such a system. in order to obtain specified performance in unbuffered mode, the common mode range of the input is from gnd to v dd provided that the absolute value of the analog input voltage lies between gnd C 30 mv and v dd + 30 mv. absolute voltages of gnd C 200 mv can be accommodated on the ad7705 at 25 c without any degrada- tion in performance, but leakage current increases significantly at elevated temperatures.
