T he AD7701 is a 16-bit ADC which uses a sigma-delta conver-  
sion technique. T he analog input is continuously sampled by an  
analog modulator whose mean output duty cycle is proportional  
to the input signal. T he modulator output is processed by an  
on-chip digital filter with a six-pole Gaussian response, which  
updates the output data register with 16-bit binary words at  
word rates up to 4 kHz. T he sampling rate, filter corner fre-  
quency and output word rate are set by a master clock input  
that may be supplied externally, or by a crystal-controlled on-  
chip clock oscillator.  
1. T he AD7701 offers 16-bit resolution coupled with outstand-  
ing 0.0015% accuracy.  
2. No missing codes ensures true, usable, 16-bit dynamic range,  
removing the need for programmable gain and level-setting  
circuitry.  
3. T he effects of temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip  
self-calibration, which removes zero and gain error. External  
circuits can also be included in the calibration loop to  
remove system offsets and gain errors.  
4. A flexible synchronous/asynchronous interface allows the  
AD7701 to interface directly to UART s or to the serial ports  
of industry-standard microcontrollers.  
T he inherent linearity of the ADC is excellent, and endpoint  
accuracy is ensured by self-calibration of zero and full scale  
which may be initiated at any time. T he self-calibration scheme  
can also be extended to null system offset and gain errors in the  
input channel.  
5. Low operating power consumption and an ultralow power  
standby mode make the AD7701 ideal for loop-powered  
remote sensing applications, or battery-powered portable  
instruments.  
T he output data is accessed through a flexible serial port, which  
has an asynchronous mode compatible with UART s and two  
synchronous modes suitable for interfacing to shift registers or  
the serial ports of industry-standard microcontrollers.  
CMOS construction insures low power dissipation, and a power  
down mode reduces the idle power consumption to only 10 µW.

11T he AIN pin presents a very high impedance dynamic load which varies with clock frequency.  
12T emperature ranges are as follows: A, B Versions; –40°C to +85°C; S, T Versions; –55°C to +125°C.  
13Apply after calibration at the temperature of interest. Full-scale error applies for both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.  
14T otal drift over the specified temperature range since calibration at power-up at +25 °C. T his is guaranteed by design and/or characterization. Recalibration at any  
temperature will remove these errors.  
15In unipolar mode the offset can have a negative value (–VREF) such that the unipolar mode can mimic bipolar mode operation.  
16T he specifications for input overrange and for input span apply additional constraints on the offset calibration range.  
17For unipolar mode, input span is the difference between full scale and zero scale. For bipolar mode, input span is the difference between positive and negative  
full-scale points. When using less than the maximum input span, the span range may be placed anywhere within the range of ±(VREF +0.1)  
18All digital outputs unloaded. All digital inputs at 5 V CMOS levels.  
19Applies in 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz bandwidth. PSRR at 60 Hz will exceed 120 dB due to the digital filter.

MODE  
Selects the Serial Interface Mode. If MODE is tied to –5 V, the AD7701 will operate in the asynchronous  
communications (ac) mode. T he SCLK pin is configured as an input, and data is transmitted in two bytes,  
each with one start bit and two stop bits. If MODE is tied to DGND, the synchronous external clocking  
(SEC) mode is selected. SCLK is configured as an input, and the output appears without formatting, the  
MSB coming first. If MODE is tied to +5 V, the AD7701 operates in the synchronous self-clocking (SSC)  
mode. SCLK is configured as an output, with a clock frequency of fCLKlN/4 and 25% duty-cycle.

power consumption.  
Bipolar/Unipolar Mode Pin. When this pin is low, the AD7701 is configured for a unipolar input range going  
from AGND to VREF. When Pin 12 is high, the AD7701 is configured for a bipolar input range, ±VREF  
.
Calibration Mode Pin. When CAL is taken high for more than 4 cycles, the AD7701 is reset and performs a  
calibration cycle when CAL is brought low again. T he CAL pin can also be used as a strobe to synchronize  
the operation of several AD7701s.

SCLK  
Data Ready output. DRDY is low when valid data is available in the output register. It goes high after transmission  
of a word is completed. It also goes high for four clock cycles when a new data word is being loaded into the out-  
put register, to indicate that valid data is not available, irrespective of whether data transmission is complete or not.  
Serial Clock Input/Output. T he SCLK pin in configured as an input or output, dependent on the type of se-  
rial data transmission that has been selected by the MODE pin. When configured as an output in the syn-  
chronous self-clocking mode, it has a frequency of fCLKIN/4 and a duty cycle of 25%.  
SDAT A  
Serial Data Output. T he AD7701s output data is available at this pin as a 16-bit serial word. T he transmis-  
sion format is determined by the state of the MODE pin.

11Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with t r = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of 5 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.  
12See Figures 1 to 6.  
13CLKIN Duty Cycle range is 20% to 80%. CLKIN must be supplied whenever the AD7701 is not in SLEEP mode. If no clock is present in this case, the device can  
draw higher current than specified and possibly become uncalibrated.  
14T he AD7701 is production tested with fCLKIN at 4.096 MHz. It is guaranteed by characterization to operate at 200 kHz.  
15Specified using 10% and 90% points on waveform of interest.  
16In order to synchronize several AD7701s together using the SLEEP pin, this specification is met.  
17t4 and t13 are measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.8 V or 2.4 V.  
18t9, t10, t15 and t16 are derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. T he measured number is  
then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 100 pF capacitor. T his means that the time quoted in the T iming Characteristics is the  
true bus relinquish time of the part and as such as independent of external bus loading capacitance.  
19If CS is returned high before all 16 bits are output, the SDAT A and SCLK outputs will complete the current data bit and then go to high impedance.  
10If CS is activated asynchronously to DRDY, CS will not be recognized if it occurs when DRDY is high for four clock cycles. T he propagation delay time may be as  
great as 4 CLKIN cycles plus 160 ns. T o guarantee proper clocking of SDAT A when using asynchronous CS, the SCLK input should not be taken high sooner than  
4 CLKIN cycles plus 160 ns after CS goes low.  
11SDAT A is clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input.

GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N  
T he AD7701 is a 16-bit A/D converter with on-chip digital  
filtering, intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range,  
low frequency signals such as those representing chemical,  
physical or biological processes. It contains a charge-balancing  
(sigma-delta) ADC, calibration microcontroller with on-chip  
static RAM, a clock oscillator and a serial communications port.  
6. A digital low-pass filter.  
In operation, the analog signal sample is fed to the subtracter,  
along with the output of the 1-bit DAC. T he filtered difference  
signal is fed to the comparator, whose output samples the  
difference signal at a frequency many times that of the analog  
signal sampling frequency (oversampling).  
T he analog input signal to the AD7701 is continuously sampled  
at a rate determined by the frequency of the master clock,  
CLKIN. 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. A six-pole  
Gaussian digital low-pass filter processes the output of the  
modulator and updates the 16-bit output register at a 4 kHz  
rate. T he output data can be read from the serial port randomly  
or periodically at any rate up to 4 kHz.

T he AD7701 samples the input signal at 16 kHz, which spreads  
the quantization noise from 0 to 8 kHz. Since the specified  
analog input bandwidth of the AD7701 is only 0 to 10 Hz, the  
noise energy in this bandwidth would be only 1/800 of the total  
quantization noise, even if the noise energy was spread evenly  
throughout the spectrum. It is reduced still further by analog  
filtering in the modulator loop, which shapes the quantization  
noise spectrum to move most of the noise energy to frequencies  
above 10 Hz. T he SNR performance in the 0 to 10 Hz range is  
conditioned to the 16-bit level in this fashion.

Sigma-delta ADCs are generally described by the order of the  
analog low-pass filter. A simple example of a first order sigma-  
delta ADC is shown in Figure 9. T his contains only a first-order  
low-pass filter or integrator. It also illustrates the derivation of  
the alternative name for these devices: Charge-Balancing ADCs.  
FILTER CH ARACTERISTICS  
T he cutoff frequency of the digital filter is fCLK /409600. At the  
maximum clock frequency of 4.096 MHz, the cutoff frequency  
of the filter is 10 Hz and the output rate is 4 kHz.  
Figure 10 shows the filter frequency response. T his is a 6-pole  
Gaussian response that provides 55 dB of 60 Hz rejection for a  
10 Hz cutoff frequency. If the clock frequency is halved to give a  
5 Hz cutoff, 60 Hz rejection is better than 90 dB. A normalized  
s-domain pole-zero plot of the filter is shown in Figure 11.

T he term charge-balancing comes from the fact that this system  
is a negative feedback loop that tries to keep the net charge on  
the integrator capacitor at zero, by balancing charge injected by  
the input voltage with charge injected by the 1-bit DAC. When  
the analog input is zero, the only contribution to the integrator  
output comes from the 1-bit DAC. For the net charge on the  
integrator capacitor to be zero, the DAC output must spend half  
its time at +1 V and half its time at –1 V. Assuming ideal  
components, the duty cycle of the comparator will be 50%.

T he AD7701 uses a second-order sigma-delta modulator and a  
sophisticated digital filter that provides a rolling average of the  
sampled output. After power-up or if there is a step change in  
the input voltage, there is a settling time that must elapse before  
valid data is obtained.

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.  
–j1  
–j2  
On the other hand, analog filtering can remove noise super-  
imposed 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. T o alleviate this problem, the AD7701 has over-  
range headroom built into the sigma-delta modulator and digital  
filter which allows overrange excursions of 100 mV. If noise  
signals are larger than this, consideration should be given to  
analog input filtering, or to reducing the gain in the input  
channel so that a full-scale input (2.5 V) gives only a half-scale  
input to the AD7701 (1.25 V). T his will provide an overrange  
capability greater than 100% at the expense of reducing the  
dynamic range by 1 bit (50%).  
Figure 11. Norm alized Pole-Zero Plot of AD7701 Filter  
Since the AD7701 contains this on-chip, low-pass filtering,  
there is a settling time associated with step function inputs, and  
data will be invalid after a step change until the settling time has  
elapsed. T he AD7701 is therefore unsuitable for high speed  
multiplexing, where channels are switched and converted se-  
quentially at high rates, as switching between channels can  
cause a step change in the input. Rather, it is intended for dis-  
tributed converter systems using one ADC per channel.  
However, slow multiplexing of the AD7701 is possible, provided  
that the settling time is allowed to elapse before data for the new  
channel is accessed.

T he output settling of the AD7701 in response to a step input  
change is shown in Figure 12. T he Gaussian response has fast

T he AD7701 performs conversion relative to an externally  
supplied reference voltage, which allows easy interfacing to  
ratiometric systems. In addition, either unipolar or bipolar input  
voltage range may be selected using the BP/UP input. With BP/  
UP tied low, the input range is unipolar and the span is 0 to  
+VREF. With BP/UP tied high, the input range is bipolar and the  
span is ±VREF. In the bipolar mode both positive and negative  
full scale are directly determined by VREF. T his offers superior

If passive attenuators are used in front of the AD7701, care

dc input resistance. In parallel with this there as a small dy-

draws a charge packet of maximum 1 pC (10 pF × 100 mV)  
T he practical limit to the maximum value of source resistance is

Active signal conditioning circuits such as op amps generally do

case, most modern general purpose op amps have sufficiently  
fast closed loop settling time for this not to be a problem. Offset  
voltage in op amps can be eliminated in a system calibration  
routine. With the wide dynamic range and small LSB size of the  
AD7701, noise can also be a problem, but the digital filter will  
reject most broadband noise above its cutoff frequency. How-  
ever, in certain applications there may be a need for analog

the maximum allowable source resistance, RS(MAX), for an error  
of VE:  
62  
eOUT = eIN 2 fC / f S = 0.035 eIN  
RS (MAX )  
=
fCLKIN ×(10 pF ) × ln (100mV /VE )  
where:  
Provided the source resistance is less than this value, the analog  
input will settle within the desired error band in the requisite 62  
clock periods. Insufficient settling leads to offset errors. T hese  
can be calibrated in system calibration schemes.  
elN and eOUT are rms noise terms referred to the input  
fC  
is the filter –3 dB corner frequency  
(fCLKIN/409600)  
and  
If a limit of 10 µV (0.25 LSB at 16 bits) is set for the maximum  
offset voltage, then the maximum allowable source resistance is  
160 kfrom the above equation, assuming that there is no  
external stray capacitance.  
fS  
is the sampling frequency (fCLKIN/256).  
Since the ratio of fS to fCLKIN is fixed, the digital filter reduces  
broadband white noise by 96.5% independent of the master  
clock frequency.

T he voltage applied to the VREF pin defines the analog input  
range. T he specified reference voltage is 2.5 V, but the AD7701  
will operate with reference voltages from 1 V to 3 V with little  
degradation in performance.  
AGND is the ground reference voltage for the AD7701, and is  
completely independent of DGND. Any noise riding on the  
AGND input with respect to the system analog ground will  
cause conversion errors. AGND should therefore be used as the  
system ground and also as the ground for the analog input and  
the reference voltage.  
T he reference input presents exactly the same dynamic load as  
the analog input, but in the case of the reference input, source  
resistance and long settling time introduce gain errors rather  
than offset errors. Fortunately, most precision references have  
sufficiently low output impedance and wide enough bandwidth  
to settle to 10 µV within 62 clock cycles.  
T he analog and digital power supplies to the AD7701 are  
independent and separately pinned out, to minimize coupling  
between analog and digital sections of the device. T he digital  
filter will provide rejections of broadband noise on the power  
supplies, except at integer multiples of the sampling frequency.  
T herefore, the two analog supplies should be decoupled to  
AGND using 100 nF ceramic capacitors to provide power  
supply noise rejections at these frequencies. T he two digital  
supplies should similarly be decoupled to DGND.

T he digital filter of the AD7701 removes noise from the  
reference input, just as it does with noise at the analog input,  
and the same limitations apply regarding lack of noise rejection  
at integer multiples of the sampling frequency. If reference noise  
is a problem, some voltage references offer noise reduction  
schemes using an external capacitor. Alternatively, a simple RC  
filter may be used, as shown in Figure 15.  
T he AD7701 offers two self-calibration modes using the on-chip

for the calibration control inputs SC1 and SC2.  
In the self-calibration mode, zero-scale is calibrated against the  
AGND pin and full scale is calibrated against the VREF pin, to

A typical system calibration scheme is shown in Figure 16. In

analog multiplexer. When the system is to be calibrated, AIN is  
first switched to the system REF LO via the multiplexer and  
CAL is strobed high, with SC1 and SC2 both high. AIN is then  
switched to the system REF HI and CAL is strobed, with SC1  
low and SC2 high. In this way, the effect of all error sources

and other signal conditioning circuits may be used in front of  
the AD7701, without worrying about their absolute gain or  
offset errors. Note that the absolute value of the reference  
supplied to the AD7701 is no longer important, provided it has  
adequate short-term stability between calibration cycles, as full  
scale is calibrated to the system reference.  
T he type of calibration cycle initiated by CAL is determined by  
the SC1 and SC2 inputs, in accordance with T able III.  
T he power dissipation and temperature drift of the AD7701 are  
low and no warm-up time is required before the initial calibra-  
tion is performed. However, the system reference must have  
stabilized before calibration is initiated.  
If system offset errors are important but system gain errors are  
not, then a one step system calibration may be performed with  
SC1 high and SC2 low. In this case, offset is calibrated against

T he positive digital supply (DVDD) must never exceed the

VREF input.  
System calibration schemes will yield better accuracy than self-  
calibration, even if there are no system errors. Using self-  
calibration, errors arise due to the mismatch in source impedances  
It is also important that power is applied to the AD7701 before  
signals at VREF, AIN or the logic input pins in order to avoid any  
possibility of latch-up. If separate supplies are used for the  
AD7701 and the system digital circuitry, then the AD7701  
should be powered up first.  
between the references during calibration (AGND and VREF  
)
and the analog input during normal operation. In system cali-  
bration, the source impedances inherently remain identical,  
such that the theoretical limit to system accuracy is calibration  
resolution. T he practical limit is the noise floor of the AD7701.  
A typical scheme for powering the AD7701 from a single set of  
±5 V rails is shown in the system connection diagram, Figure 7.  
In this circuit AVDD and DVDD are brought along separate  
tracks from the same +5 V supply. T hus, there is no possibility  
of the digital supply coming up before the analog supply.  
Note that in system calibration, “REF LO” does not necessarily  
mean the system ground or zero volts. T he AD7701 can be  
calibrated to measure between any two voltages that lie within  
its calibration range by deliberately making REF LO nonzero.  
For example, if REF LO is +0.5 V and REF HI is +2.5 V, the  
unipolar span will be between these limits.  
GRO UND ING  
T he AD7701 uses the analog ground connection, AGND, as the  
measurement reference node. It should be used as the reference  
node for both the analog input signal and the reference voltage  
at the VREF pin.  
CALIBRATIO N RANGE  
When designing system calibration schemes, care must be taken  
to ensure that the worst-case system errors do not cause the  
overrange headroom of the AD7701 to be exceeded. Although  
the measurement error caused by offset and gain errors can be  
nulled out, the actual error voltages will still be present at the  
analog input and can cause overloading of the analog modulator  
or overflow of the digital filter. With a 2.5 V reference, the  
maximum input voltage is (+VREF + 100 mV), and the minimum  
input voltage is (–VREF – 100 mV).  
T he analog and digital power supplies to the AD7701 die are  
pinned out separately to minimize coupling between the analog  
and digital sections of the chip. All four supplies should be  
decoupled separately to their respective grounds as shown in  
Figure 7. T he on-chip digital filtering of the AD7701 further  
enhances power supply rejection by attenuating noise injected  
into the conversion process.  
SINGLE SUP P LY O P ERATIO N  
Figure 17 shows a circuit to power the AD7701 from a single  
+10 V supply, using an op amp to provide a half supply refer-  
ence point for AGND and DGND. As the digital I/O pins are  
referenced to this point, level shifting is required for external  
digital communications. If galvanic isolation is required in the  
system, level shifting and isolation can both be provided by  
opto-isolators.  
P O WER-UP AND CALIBRATIO N  
A calibration cycle must be carried out after power-up to initial-  
ize the device to a consistent starting condition and correct cali-  
bration. T he CAL pin must be held high for at least four clock  
cycles, after which calibration is initiated on the falling edge of  
CAL and takes a maximum of 3,145,655 clock cycles (approxi-  
mately 768 ms, with a 4.096 MHz clock). See T able III.

ASYNCH RO NO US CO MMUNICATIO NS (AC) MO D E  
T he AC mode (MODE pin tied to –5 V) offers a UART -  
compatible interface which allows the AD7701 to transmit data  
asynchronously from remote locations. An external SCLK sets  
the baud rate and data is transmitted in two bytes in UART -  
compatible format. Using the AC mode, the AD7701 can be  
interfaced direct to microprocessors with UART interfaces, such  
as the 8051 and T MS70X2.  
D IGITAL NO ISE AND O UTP UT LO AD ING  
As mentioned earlier, the AD7701 divides its internal timing  
into two distinct phases, analog sampling and settling and digital  
computation. In the SSC mode, data is transmitted only during  
the digital computation periods, to minimize the effects of  
digital noise on analog performance. In the SEC and AC modes  
data transmission is externally controlled, so this automatic  
safeguard does not exist.  
Data transmission is initiated by CS going low. If CS is low on a  
falling edge of SCLK, the AD7701 begins transmitting an 8-bit  
data byte (DB8–DB15) with one start bit and two stop bits, as  
in Figure 21. T he SDAT A output will then go three-state. T he  
second byte is transmitted by bringing CS low again and DB0 to  
DB7 are transmitted in the same format as the first byte.  
Whatever mode of operation is used, resistive and capacitive  
loads on digital outputs should be minimized in order to reduce  
crosstalk between analog and digital portions of the circuit. For  
this reason connection to low-power CMOS logic such as one of  
the 4000 series or 74C families is recommended.  
It is especially important to minimize the load on SDAT A in the  
AC mode, as transmission in this mode is inherently asynchro-  
nous. In the SEC mode the AD7701 should be synchronized to  
the digital system clock via CLKIN.  
UART baud rates are typically low compared to the AD7701’s  
4 kHz output update rate. If CS is low and data is still being  
transmitted when a new data word becomes available, the new  
data will be ignored. However, if CS has been taken high  
between bytes, when a new data word becomes available, the  
AD7701 could update the output register before the second byte  
is transmitted. In this case, the UART would receive the first  
byte of the new word instead of the second byte of the old word.  
When using the AC mode, care must obviously be taken to  
ensure that this does not occur.
