GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD7707 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller or DSP-  
based systems. It features a serial interface that can be config-  
ured for three-wire operation. Gain settings, signal polarity and  
update rate selection can be configured in software using the  
input serial port. The part contains self-calibration and system  
calibration options to eliminate gain and offset errors on the  
part itself or in the system.  
The AD7707 is a complete analog front end for low frequency  
measurement applications. This three-channel device can accept  
either low level input signals directly from a transducer or high  
level (±10 V) signals and produce a serial digital output. It  
employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize up to  
16 bits of no missing codes performance. The selected input  
signal is applied to a proprietary programmable gain front end  
based around an analog modulator. The modulator output is  
processed by an on-chip digital filter. The first notch of this  
digital filter can be programmed via an on-chip control register  
allowing adjustment of the filter cutoff and output update rate.  
CMOS construction ensures very low power dissipation, and the  
power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to  
20 µW typ. These parts are available in a 20-lead wide body  
(0.3 inch) small outline (SOIC) package and a low profile 20-lead  
TSSOP.  
The AD7707 operates from a single 2.7 V to 3.3 V or 4.75 V to  
5.25 V supply. The AD7707 features two low level pseudo-  
differential analog input channels, one high level input channel  
and a differential reference input. Input signal ranges of 0 mV to  
+20 mV through 0 V to +2.5 V can be accommodated on both  
low level input channels when operating with a VDD of 5 V and a  
reference of 2.5 V. They can also handle bipolar input signal  
ranges of ±20 mV through ±2.5 V, which are referenced to the  
LCOM input. The AD7707, with a 3 V supply and a 1.225 V  
reference, can handle unipolar input signal ranges of 0 mV to  
+10 mV through 0 V to +1.225 V. Its bipolar input signal ranges  
are ±10 mV through ±1.225 V.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. The AD7707 consumes less than 1 mW at 3 V supplies and  
1 MHz master clock, making it ideal for use in low power  
systems. Standby current is less than 8 µA.  
2. On-chip thin-film resistors allow ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to +10 V  
and 0 V to +5 V high level input signals to be directly accom-  
modated on the analog inputs without requiring split supplies  
or charge-pumps.  
3. The low level input channels allow the AD7707 to accept  
input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer remov-  
ing a considerable amount of signal conditioning.  
The high level input channel can accept input signal ranges of  
±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to +10 V and 0 V to +5 V. The AD7707 thus  
performs all signal conditioning and conversion for a three-  
channel system.  
4. The part features excellent static performance specifications  
with 16 bits, no missing codes, ±0.003% accuracy and low  
rms noise. Endpoint errors and the effects of temperature  
drift are eliminated by on-chip calibration options, which  
remove zero-scale and full-scale errors.

NOTES  
1 Temperature range as follows: B Version, –40°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 III for the low level input channels AIN1  
and AIN2. 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 bipolar input ranges.  
7 Gain error does not include zero-scale errors. It is calculated as full-scale error–unipolar offset error for unipolar ranges and full-scale error–bipolar 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 scale calibrations only were performed.  
9 Error is removed following a system calibration.  
10This common-mode voltage range is allowed provided that the input voltage on analog inputs does not go more positive than AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative  
than AGND – 100 mV. Parts are functional with voltages down to AGND – 200 mV, but with increased leakage at high temperature.  
11The analog input voltage range on AIN(+) is given here with respect to the voltage on LCOM on the low level input channels (AIN1 and AIN2) and is given with  
respect to the HCOM input on the high level input channel AIN3. The absolute voltage on the low level analog inputs should not go more positive than AVDD  
+
100 mV, or go more negative than GND – 100 mV for specified performance. Input voltages of AGND – 200 mV can be accommodated, but with increased leakage  
at high temperature.  
12  
V
= REF IN(+) – REF IN(–).

13These logic output levels apply to the MCLK OUT only when it is loaded with one CMOS load.  
14Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance.  
15After calibration, if the analog input exceeds positive full scale, the converter will output all 1s. If the analog input is less than negative full scale, the device will  
output all 0s.  
16These calibration and span limits apply provided the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative than AGND –  
30 mV. The offset calibration limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point.  
17When using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the DVDD current and power dissipation will vary depending on  
the crystal or resonator type (see Clocking and Oscillator Circuit section).  
18If the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 µA typical at 5 V and 75 µA 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).  
19Measured 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. PSRR at 60 Hz will exceed 120 dB  
with filter notches of 20 Hz or 60 Hz.

NOTES  
1Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of DVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.  
2See Figures 16 and 17.  
3fCLKIN Duty Cycle range is 45% to 55%. fCLKIN must be supplied whenever the AD7707 is not in Standby mode. If no clock is present in this case, the device can  
draw higher current than specified and possibly become uncalibrated.  
4The AD7707 is production tested with fCLKIN at 2.4576 MHz (1 MHz for some IDD tests). It is guaranteed by characterization to operate at 400 kHz.  
5These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.  
6These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then  
extrapolated back to remove effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus  
relinquish times of the part and as such are independent of external bus loading capacitances.  
7DRDY returns high after the first read from the device after an output update. The same data can be read again, if required, while DRDY is high, although care  
should be taken that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update.

CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily  
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.  
Although the AD7707 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may  
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD  
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

1
SCLK  
Serial Clock. Schmitt-Triggered Logic Input. An external serial clock is applied to this input to  
access serial data from the AD7707. This serial clock can be a continuous clock with all data  
transmitted in a continuous train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with  
the information being transmitted to the AD7707 in smaller batches of data.  
2
3
MCLK IN  
Master Clock signal for the device. This can be provided in the form of a crystal/resonator or  
external clock. A crystal/resonator can be tied across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins.  
Alternatively, the MCLK IN pin can be driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and MCLK  
OUT left unconnected. The part can be operated with clock frequencies in the range 500 kHz to  
5 MHz.  
MCLK OUT  
When the master clock for the device is a crystal/resonator, the crystal/resonator is connected  
between MCLK IN and MCLK OUT. If an external clock is applied to MCLK IN, MCLK  
OUT provides an inverted clock signal. This clock can be used to provide a clock source for  
external circuitry and is capable of driving one CMOS load. If the user does not require it, this  
MCLK OUT can be turned off via the CLK DIS bit of the Clock Register. This ensures that the  
part is not wasting unnecessary power driving capacitive loads on MCLK OUT.

CS  
Chip Select. Active low Logic Input used to select the AD7707. With this input hard-wired low,  
the AD7707 can operate in its three-wire interface mode with SCLK, DIN and DOUT used to  
interface to the device. CS can be used to select the device in systems with more than one device  
on the serial bus or as a frame synchronization signal in communicating with the AD7707.  
RESET  
Logic Input. Active low input that resets the control logic, interface logic, calibration coeffi-  
cients, digital filter and analog modulator of the part to power-on status.

AIN2  
COMMON Input for low level input channels. Analog inputs on AIN1 and AIN2 must be refer-  
enced to this input.  
Low Level Analog Input Channel 2. This is used as a pseudo-differential input with respect to  
LOCOM.

AIN3  
Single-Ended High Level Analog Input Channel with respect to HICOM.  
HICOM  
COMMON Input for high level input channel. Analog input on AIN3 must be referenced to

VBIAS  
VBIAS is used to level shift the high level input channel signal. This signal is used to ensure that  
the AIN(+) and AIN(–) signals seen by the internal modulator are within its common-mode  
range. VBIAS is normally connected to 2.5 V when AVDD = 5 V and 1.225 V when AVDD = 3 V.  
REF IN(+)  
Reference Input. Positive input of the differential reference input to the AD7707. The reference  
input is differential with the provision that REF IN(+) must be greater than REF IN(–).  
REF IN(+) can lie anywhere between AVDD and AGND.

AGND  
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for the AD7707’s internal analog circuitry.  
DRDY  
Logic Output. A logic low on this output indicates that a new output word is available from the  
AD7707 data register. The DRDY pin will return high upon completion of a read operation of a  
full output word. If no data read has taken place between output updates, the DRDY line will  
return high for 500 × tCLK IN cycles prior to the next output update. While DRDY is high, a read  
operation should neither be attempted nor in progress to avoid reading from the data register as  
it is being updated. The DRDY line will return low again when the update has taken place.  
DRDY is also used to indicate when the AD7707 has completed its on-chip calibration  
sequence.

OUTPUT NOISE FOR LOW LEVEL INPUT CHANNELS (5 V OPERATION)  
Table I shows the AD7707 output rms noise and peak-to-peak resolution in unbuffered mode for the selectable notch and –3 dB  
frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1 and FS2 of the Clock Register. The numbers given are for the bipolar input ranges  
with a VREF of +2.5 V and AVDD = 5 V. These numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input voltage of 0 V. Table II  
shows the rms noise and peak-to-peak resolution when operating in unbuffered mode. It is important to note that the peak-to-peak num-  
bers represent the resolution for which there will be no code flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise but on peak-to-peak noise. The  
numbers given are for bipolar input ranges with a VREF of +2.5 V. These numbers are typical and are rounded to the nearest LSB.  
The numbers apply for the CLK DIV bit of the Clock Register set to 0. The output noise comes from two sources. The first is the  
electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device noise) used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog  
input is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is independent of fre-  
quency. The quantization noise starts at an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise  
source. The numbers in the tables are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers will be the  
same as the bipolar range but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal range which effectively means losing 1 bit of  
resolution.

frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1 and FS2 of the Clock Register. The numbers given are for the bipolar input ranges

OUTPUT NOISE FOR HIGH LEVEL INPUT CHANNEL AIN3 (5 V OPERATION)  
Table V shows the AD7707 output rms noise and peak-to-peak resolution in unbuffered for the selectable notch and –3 dB  
frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1 and FS2 of the Clock Register. The numbers given are for the ±10 V,  
±5 V, 0 to 5 V and 0 V to +10 V ranges with a VREF of +2.5 V, HBIAS = 2.5 V, HICOM = AGND and AVDD = 5 V. These  
numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input voltage of 0 V. Table VI meanwhile shows the output rms noise and  
peak-to-peak resolution in buffered mode. It is important to note that these numbers represent the resolution for which there will be  
no code flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise but on peak-to-peak noise. Operating the high level channel with a gain  
of 2 in bipolar mode gives an operating range of ±10 V. Operating at a gain of 2 in unipolar mode gives a range of 0 V to  
+10 V. Operating the high level channel with a gain of 4 in bipolar mode gives the ±5 V operating range. Operating at a gain  
of 4 in unipolar mode gives an operating range of 0 V to +5 V. Noise for all input ranges is shown in Appendix 1. The out-  
put noise comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device noise) used in the  
implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise  
is added. The device noise is at a low level and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at an even lower  
level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source. The numbers in the tables are given  
for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers will be the same as the bipolar range but the  
peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal range which effectively means losing 1 bit of resolution.

OUTPUT NOISE FOR HIGH LEVEL INPUT CHANNEL AIN3 (5 V OPERATION)  
Table VII shows the AD7707 output rms noise and peak-to-peak resolution for the selectable notch and –3 dB frequencies for the  
part, as selected by FS0, FS1 and FS2 of the Clock Register. The numbers given are for the ±5 V, 0 V to +5 V and 0 V to +10 V  
ranges with a VREF of +1.225 V, HBIAS = 1.225 V, HICOM = AGND and AVDD = 3 V. These numbers are typical and are gener-  
ated at an analog input voltage of 0 V for unbuffered mode of operation. The above operating ranges are only achievable in unbuf-  
fered mode when operating at 3 V due to common-mode limitations on the input amplifier. It is important to note that these numbers  
represent the resolution for which there will be no code flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise but on peak-to-peak noise. Operating  
at a gain of 1 in unipolar mode provides a range of 0 V to +10 V. Operating the high level channel with a gain of 2 in bipolar mode  
provides a ±5 V operating range. Operating at a gain of 2 in unipolar mode provides an operating range of 0 V to +5 V. The output  
noise comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device noise) used in the implementation  
of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise is added. The device  
noise is at a low level and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at an even lower level but rises rapidly with  
increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source. The numbers in the tables are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the  
unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers will be the same as the bipolar range but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the  
signal range which effectively means losing 1 bit of resolution.

ON-CHIP REGISTERS  
The AD7707 contains eight on-chip registers which can be accessed via the serial port of the part. The first of these is a Communica-  
tions Register that controls the channel selection, decides whether the next operation is a read or write operation and also decides  
which register the next read or write operation accesses. 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 operation to the part is a read or a write operation and also determines 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 Communications Register itself and the output data register) starts with a write operation to the Communications Register fol-  
lowed by a read operation from the selected register. The Communications Register also controls the standby mode and channel  
selection and the DRDY status is also available by reading from the Communications Register. The second register is a Setup Regis-  
ter 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 Register from which the  
output data from the part is accessed. The final registers are the calibration registers which store channel calibration data. The regis-  
ters 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 communi-  
cations to the part must start with a write operation to the Communications Register. The data written to the Communications Reg-  
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 operation to  
the Communications Register. This is the default state of the interface, and on power-up or after a RESET, the AD7707 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 AD7707 returns to  
this default state. Table VIII outlines the bit designations for the Communications Register.

CH1 (0)  
CH0 (0)  
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.  
RS2–RS0  
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 IX, 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.

Read/Write Select. This bit selects whether the next operation is a read or write operation to the selected register.  
A “0” indicates a write cycle for the next operation to the appropriate register, while a “1” indicates a read opera-  
tion from the appropriate register.  
STBY  
Standby. Writing a “1” to this bit puts the part into its standby or power-down mode. In this mode, the part con-  
sumes only 8 µA of power supply current. The part retains its calibration coefficients and control word information  
when in STANDBY. Writing a “0” to this bit places the part in its normal operating mode. The serial interface on  
the AD7707 remains operational when the part is in STBY mode.  
CH1–CH0  
Channel Select. These two bits select a channel for conversion or for access to the calibration coefficients as out-  
lined in Table X. Three pairs of calibration registers on the part are used to store the calibration coefficients fol-  
lowing a calibration on a channel. They are shown in Tables VII for the AD7707 to indicate which channel  
combinations have independent calibration coefficients. With CH1 at Logic 1 and CH0 at a Logic 0, the part looks  
at the LOCOM input internally shorted to itself. This can be used as a test method to evaluate the noise perfor-  
mance of the part with no external noise sources. In this mode, the LOCOM input should be connected to an  
external voltage within the allowable common-mode range for the part.

Self-Calibration: this activates self-calibration on the channel selected by CH1 and CH0 of the Communica-  
tions Register. This is a one-step calibration sequence and when complete the part returns to Normal Mode  
with MD1 and MD0 returning to 0, 0. The DRDY output or bit goes high when calibration is initiated and  
returns low when this self-calibration is complete and a new valid word is available in the data register. The  
zero-scale calibration is performed at the selected gain on internally shorted (zeroed) inputs and the full-  
scale calibration is performed at the selected gain on an internally-generated VREF/Selected Gain.

Zero-Scale System Calibration: this activates zero scale system calibration on the channel selected by CH1  
and CH0 of the Communications Register. Calibration is performed at the selected gain on the input voltage  
provided at the analog input during this calibration sequence. This input voltage should remain stable for  
the duration of the calibration. The DRDY output or bit goes high when calibration is initiated and returns  
low when this zero-scale calibration is complete and a new valid word is available in the data register. At the  
end of the calibration, the part returns to Normal Mode with MD1 and MD0 returning to 0, 0.  
Full-Scale System Calibration: this activates full-scale system calibration on the selected input channel.  
Calibration is performed at the selected gain on the input voltage provided at the analog input during this  
calibration sequence. This input voltage should remain stable for the duration of the calibration. Once again,  
the DRDY output or bit goes high when calibration is initiated and returns low when this full-scale calibra-  
tion is complete and a new valid word is available in the data register. At the end of the calibration, the part  
returns to Normal Mode with MD1 and MD0 returning to 0, 0.

Bipolar/Unipolar Operation. A “0” in this bit selects Bipolar Operation. A “1” in this bit selects Unipolar Operation.  
BUF  
Buffer Control. With this bit at “0,” the on-chip buffer on the analog input is shorted out. With the buffer shorted  
out, the current flowing in the VDD line is reduced. When this bit is high, the on-chip buffer is in series with the  
analog input allowing the input to handle higher source impedances.  
FSYNC  
Filter Synchronization. When this bit is high, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic and the calibra-  
tion control logic are held in a reset state and the analog modulator is also held in its reset state. When this bit goes  
low, the modulator and filter start to process data and a valid word is available in 3 × 1/ (output update rate), i.e.,  
the settling time of the filter. This FSYNC bit does not affect the digital interface and does not reset the DRDY  
output if it is low.

Clock Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 0); Power-On/Reset Status: 05 Hex  
The Clock Register is an 8-bit register from which data can either be read or to which data can be written. Table XIII outlines the bit  
designations for the Clock Register.

ZERO  
Zero. A zero MUST be written to these bits to ensure correct operation of the AD7707. Failure to do so may  
result in unspecified operation of the device.  
CLKDIS  
Master Clock Disable Bit. A Logic 1 in this bit disables the master clock from appearing at the MCLK OUT pin.  
When disabled, the MCLK OUT pin is forced low. This feature allows the user the flexibility of using the MCLK  
OUT as a clock source for other devices in the system or of turning off the MCLK OUT as a power saving feature.  
When using an external master clock on the MCLK IN pin, the AD7707 continues to have internal clocks and will  
convert normally with the CLKDIS bit active. When using a crystal oscillator or ceramic resonator across the  
MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins, the AD7707 clock is stopped and no conversions take place when the CLKDIS  
bit is active.  
CLKDIV  
CLK  
Clock Divider Bit. With this bit at a Logic 1, the clock frequency appearing at the MCLK IN pin is divided by two  
before being used internally by the AD7707. For example, when this bit is set to 1, the user can operate with a  
4.9152 MHz crystal between MCLK IN and MCLK OUT and internally the part will operate with the specified  
2.4576 MHz. With this bit at a Logic 0, the clock frequency appearing at the MCLK IN pin is the frequency used  
internally by the part.  
Clock Bit. This bit should be set in accordance with the operating frequency of the AD7707. If the device has a  
master clock frequency of 2.4576 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 4.9152 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), then this bit should be set  
to a “1.” If the device has a master clock frequency of 1 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 2 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), this bit  
should be set to a “0.” This bit sets up the appropriate scaling currents for a given operating frequency and also  
chooses (along with FS2, FS1 and FS0) the output update rate for the device. If this bit is not set correctly for the  
master clock frequency of the device, then the AD7707 may not operate to specification.  
FS2, FS1, FS0 Filter Selection Bits. Along with the CLK bit, FS2, FS1 and FS0 determine the output update rate, filter  
first notch and –3 dB frequency as outlined in Table XIV. The on-chip digital filter provides a sinc3 (or  
Sinx/x3) filter response. Placing the first notch at 10 Hz places notches at both 50 and 60 Hz giving better  
than 150 dB rejection at these frequencies. In association with the gain selection the filter cutoff also deter-  
mines the output noise of the device. Changing the filter notch frequency, as well as the selected gain, im-  
pacts resolution. Tables I to IV show the effect of filter notch frequency and gain on the output noise and  
effective resolution of the part. The output data rate (or effective conversion time) for the device is equal to  
the frequency selected for the first notch of the filter. For example, if the first notch of the filter is selected  
at 50 Hz, a new word is available at a 50 Hz output rate or every 20 ms. If the first notch is at 500 Hz, a  
new word is available every 2 ms. A calibration should be initiated when any of these bits are changed.  
The settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is worst case 4 × 1/(output data rate). For example,  
with the filter first notch at 50 Hz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is 80 ms max. If  
the first notch is at 500 Hz, the settling time is 8 ms max. This settling time can be reduced to 3 × 1/ (out-  
put data rate) by synchronizing the step input change to a reset of the digital filter. In other words, if the step  
input takes place with the FSYNC bit high, the settling time will be 3 × 1/(output data rate) from when the  
FSYNC bit returns low.  
The –3 dB frequency is determined by the programmed first notch frequency according to the relationship:  
filter –3 dB frequency = 0.262 × filter first notch frequency

Data Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 1)  
The Data Register on the part is a 16-bit read-only register that contains the most up-to-date conversion result from the AD7707. If  
the Communications Register sets up the part for a write operation to this register, a write operation must actually take place to re-  
turn the part to where it is expecting a write operation to the Communications Register. However, the 16 bits of data written to the  
part will be ignored by the AD7707.  
Test Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 0, 0); Power-On/Reset Status: 00 Hex  
The part contains a Test Register that is used when testing the device. The user is advised not to change the status of any of the bits  
in this register from the default (Power-on or RESET) status of all 0s as the part will be placed in one of its test modes and will not  
operate correctly.  
Zero-Scale Calibration Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 0); Power-On/Reset Status: 1F4000 Hex  
The AD7707 contains independent sets of zero-scale registers, one for each of the input channels. Each of these registers is a 24-bit  
read/write register; 24 bits of data must be written otherwise no data will be transferred to the register. This register is used in con-  
junction with its associated full-scale register to form a register pair. These register pairs are associated with input channel pairs as  
outlined in Table VII. While the part is set up to allow access to these registers over the digital interface, the part itself no longer has  
access to the register coefficients to correctly scale the output data. As a result, there is a possibility that after accessing the calibra-  
tion registers (either read or write operation) the first output data read from the part may contain incorrect data. In addition, a write  
to the calibration register should not be attempted while a calibration is in progress. These eventualities can be avoided by taking the  
FSYNC bit in the mode register high before the calibration register operation and taking it low after the operation is complete.  
Full-Scale Calibration Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 1); Power-On/Reset Status: 5761AB Hex  
The AD7707 contains independent sets of full-scale registers, one for each of the input channels. Each of these registers is a 24-bit

CALIBRATION SEQUENCES  
The AD7707 contains a number of calibration options as previously outlined. Table XV summarizes the calibration types, the opera-  
tions involved and the duration of the operations. There are two methods of determining the end of calibration. The first is to moni-  
tor when DRDY returns low at the end of the sequence. DRDY not only indicates when the sequence is complete, but also that the  
part has a valid new sample in its data register. This valid new sample is the result of a normal conversion which follows the calibra-  
tion sequence. The second method of determining when calibration is complete is to monitor the MD1 and MD0 bits of the Setup  
Register. When these bits return to 0 (0 following a calibration command), it indicates that the calibration sequence is complete.  
This method does not give any indication of there being a valid new result in the data register. However, it gives an earlier indication  
than DRDY that calibration is complete. The duration to when the Mode Bits (MD1 and MD0) return to 0 00 represents the dura-  
tion of the calibration carried out). The sequence to when DRDY goes low also includes a normal conversion and a pipeline delay,  
tP, to correctly scale the results of this first conversion. tP will never exceed 2000 × tCLKIN. The time for both methods is given in the  
table.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
(Sigma-Delta Modulator) converts the sampled signal into a  
digital pulse train whose duty cycle contains the digital informa-  
tion. 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  
sinc3 digital low-pass filter processes the output of the sigma-  
delta modulator and updates the output register at a rate deter-  
mined by the first notch frequency of this filter. The output data  
can be read from the serial port randomly or periodically at any  
rate up to the output register update rate. The first notch of this  
digital filter (and hence its –3 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 10 Hz to 500 Hz, giving a program-  
mable range for the –3 dB frequency of 2.62 Hz to 131 Hz.  
With a master clock frequency of 1 MHz, the programmable  
range for this first notch frequency is from 4 Hz to 200 Hz,  
giving a programmable range for the –3 dB frequency of 1.06 Hz  
to 52.4 Hz.  
The AD7707 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 pro-  
cess 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 bidirectional  
serial communications port. The part consumes only 320 µA of  
power supply current, making it ideal for battery-powered or  
loop-powered instruments. On-chip thin-film resistors allow  
±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to +10 V and 0 V to +5 V high level input  
signals to be directly accommodated on the analog input without  
requiring split supplies, dc-dc converters or charge pumps. This  
part operates with a supply voltage of 2.7 V to 3.3 V or 4.75 V  
to 5.25 V.  
The AD7707 contains two low level (AIN1 and AIN2) program-  
mable-gain pseudo-differential analog input channels and one  
high level (AIN3) single-ended input channel. For the low level  
input channels the selectable gains 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 reference 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 signals are with respect to the LOCOM input.  
The basic connection diagram for the AD7707 is shown in  
Figure 10. An AD780 or REF192, precision +2.5 V reference,  
provides the reference source for the part. On the digital side,  
the part is configured for three-wire operation with CS tied to  
DGND. A quartz crystal or ceramic resonator provide the mas-  
ter 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  
frequency. The values of capacitors will vary, depending on the  
manufacturer’s specifications. A similar circuit is applicable for  
operation with 3 V supplies, in this case a 1.225 V reference  
(AD1580) should be used for specified performance.  
The high level input channel can directly accept input signals of  
±10 V with respect to HICOM when operating with 5 V sup-  
plies and a reference of 2.5 V. With 3 V supplies ±5 V can be  
accommodated on the AIN3 input.  
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

ANALOG INPUT  
Analog Input Ranges  
CSAMP must be charged through RSW and any additional source  
impedances every input sample cycle. Therefore, in unbuffered  
mode, source impedances mean a longer charge time for CSAMP  
and this may result in gain errors on the part. Table XVI 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. This external capacitance includes 10 pF  
from pins and lead frame of the device.  
The AD7707 contains two low level pseudo-differential analog  
input channels AIN1 and AIN2. These input pairs provide  
programmable-gain, differential input channels that can handle  
either unipolar or pseudo bipolar input signals. It should be  
noted that the bipolar input signals are referenced to the  
LOCOM input. The AD7707 also has a high level analog input  
channel AIN 3 which is referenced to HICOM. Figure 11  
shows the input structure on the high level input channel.  
In normal 5 V operation VBIAS is normally connected to 2.5 V  
and HICOM is connected to AGND. This arrangement ensures  
that the voltages seen internally are within the common-mode  
range of the buffer in buffered mode and within the supply  
range in unbuffered mode. This device can be programmed to  
operate in either buffered or unbuffered mode via the BUF bit  
in the setup register. Note that the signals on AIN3 are with  
respect to the HICOM input and not with respect to AGND or  
DGND.

In unbuffered mode, the common-mode range of the low level  
input channels is from AGND – 100 mV to AVDD + 30 mV.  
This means that in unbuffered mode the part can handle both  
unipolar and bipolar input ranges for all gains. Absolute volt-  
ages of AGND – 100 mV can be accommodated on the analog  
inputs without degradation in performance, but leakage current  
increases appreciably with increasing temperature. In buffered  
mode, the analog inputs can handle much larger source imped-  
ances, but the absolute input voltage range is restricted to be-  
tween AGND + 50 mV to AVDD – 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 degra-  
dation in linearity performance.

Error on Low Level Input Channels (Unbuffered Mode Only)  
In buffered mode, the analog inputs look into the high imped-  
ance inputs stage of the on-chip buffer amplifier. CSAMP is  
charged via this buffer amplifier such that source impedances do  
not affect the charging of CSAMP. This buffer amplifier has an  
offset leakage current of 1 nA. In buffered mode, large source  
impedances result in a small dc offset voltage developed across  
the source impedance, but not in a gain error.  
In unbuffered mode, the analog inputs look directly into the  
7 pF input sampling capacitor, CSAMP. 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 12). This sample rate depends on  
master clock frequency and selected gain. CSAMP is charged to  
AIN(+) and discharged to AIN(–) every input sample cycle.  
The effective on-resistance of the switch, RSW, is typically 7 k.

REV. A  
AD7707  
Input Sample Rate  
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 from the reference. To obtain the same noise perfor-  
mance as shown in the noise tables over the full input range  
requires a low noise reference source for the AD7707. If the  
reference noise in the bandwidth of interest is excessive, it will  
degrade the performance of the AD7707. In bridge transducer  
applications where the reference voltage for the ADC is derived  
from the excitation voltage the effect of the noise in the excita-  
tion voltage will be removed as the application is ratiometric.  
Recommended reference voltage sources for the AD7707 with  
an AVDD of 5 V include the AD780, REF43 and REF192, while  
the recommended reference sources for the AD7707 operated  
with an AVDD of 3 V include the AD589 and AD1580. It is  
generally recommended to decouple the output of these refer-  
ences in order to further reduce the noise level.  
The modulator sample frequency for the AD7707 remains at  
fCLKIN/128 (19.2 kHz @ fCLKIN = 2.4576 MHz) regardless of the  
selected gain. However, gains greater than 1 are achieved by a  
combination of multiple input samples per modulator 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 XVII). In buff-  
ered mode, the input impedance is constant. In unbuffered  
mode, where the analog input looks directly into the sampling  
capacitor, the effective input impedance is 1/CSAMP × fS where  
CSAMP is the input sampling capacitance and fS is the input  
sample rate.

DIGITAL FILTERING

The AD7707 contains an on-chip low-pass digital filter which  
processes the output of the part’s sigma-delta modulator. There-  
fore, the part not only provides the analog-to-digital conversion  
function but also provides a level of filtering. There are a num-  
ber 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.

Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs  
The analog inputs on the low level input channels on the AD7707  
can accept either unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges with  
respect to LOCOM.  
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.  
The high level input channel handles true bipolar signals of  
±10 V max for guaranteed operation.  
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  
channel conditions, it simply changes the data output coding  
and the points on the transfer function where calibrations occur.  
In unipolar operation the output coding is straight binary. In  
bipolar mode the output coding is offset binary.  
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 AD7707 has over-  
range 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 reducing the  
dynamic range by 1 bit (50%).  
REFERENCE INPUT  
The AD7707 reference inputs, REF IN(+) and REF IN(–),  
provide a differential reference input capability. The common-  
mode range for these differential inputs is from GND to AVDD  
.
The nominal reference voltage, VREF REF IN(+) – REF IN(–),  
for specified operation, is +2.5 V for the AD7707 operated with  
an AVDD of 5 V and +1.225 V for the AD7707 operated with an  
AVDD of +3 V. The part is functional with VREF voltages down  
to 1 V, but with degraded performance since the LSB size is  
smaller. REF IN(+) must always be greater than REF IN(–) for  
correct operation of the AD7707.  
In addition, the digital filter does not provide any rejection at  
integer multiples of the digital filter’s sample frequency. How-  
ever, the input sampling on the part provides attenuation at  
multiples of the digital filter’s sampling frequency so that the  
unattenuated bands actually occur around multiples of the  
sampling frequency fS (as defined in Table XV). Thus the  
unattenuated bands occur at n × fS (where n = 1, 2, 3 . . .). At  
these frequencies, there are frequency bands, ±f3 dB wide f3 dB is  
the cutoff frequency of the digital filter) at either side where  
noise passes unattenuated to the output.  
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 ktyp and the reference capaci-  
tor (CREF) varies with gain. The sample rate on the reference  
inputs is fCLKIN/64 and does not vary with gain. For gains of 1  
and 2, CREF 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.

AD7707  
Filter Characteristics  
Since the AD7707 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.  
The AD7707’s digital filter is a low-pass filter with a (sinx/x)3  
response (also called sinc3). The transfer function for this filter  
is described in the z-domain by:

The on-chip modulator provides samples at a 19.2 kHz output  
rate with fCLKIN 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 AD7707.

Phase Response:

Figure 14 shows the filter frequency response for a cutoff fre-  
quency of 2.62 Hz, which corresponds to a first filter notch  
frequency of 10 Hz. The plot is shown from dc to 65 Hz. This  
response is repeated at either side of the digital filter’s sample  
frequency and at either side of multiples of the filter’s sample  
frequency.  
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  
AD7707 at the 100 Hz rate giving a –3 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.  
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 filter’s  
frequency response. Thus, for the plot of Figure 14 where the  
output rate is 10 Hz, the first notch of the filter is at 10 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.  
Post-filtering can also be used to reduce the output noise from  
the device for bandwidths below 2.62 Hz. At a gain of 128 and a  
bandwidth of 2.62 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 2.62 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.

The digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer mul-  
tiples of the modulator sample frequency, as outlined earlier.  
However, due to the AD7707’s high oversampling ratio, these  
bands occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum and most  
broadband noise is filtered. This means that the analog filtering  
requirements in front of the AD7707 are considerably reduced  
versus a conventional converter with no on-chip filtering. In  
addition, because the part’s common-mode rejection perfor-  
mance of 100 dB extends out to several kHz, common-mode  
noise in this frequency range will be substantially reduced.

FREQUENCY – Hz  
Figure 14. Frequency Response of AD7707 Filter  
Depending on the application, however, it may be necessary to  
provide attenuation prior to the AD7707 in order to eliminate  
unwanted frequencies from these bands which the digital filter  
will pass. It may also be necessary in some applications to  
provide analog filtering in front of the AD7707 to ensure that  
differential noise signals outside the band of interest do not  
saturate the analog modulator.  
Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection is obtained by placing  
the first notch at 10 Hz. Operating with an update rate of 10 Hz  
places notches at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz giving better than 100 dB  
rejection at these frequencies.  
The cutoff frequency of the digital filter is determined by the  
value loaded to bits FS0 to FS2 in the CLOCK Register. Pro-  
gramming a different cutoff frequency via FS0 and 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.  
If passive components are placed in front of the AD7707 in  
unbuffered mode, care must be taken to ensure that the source  
impedance is low enough not to introduce gain errors in the sys-  
tem. This significantly limits the amount of passive antialiasing  
–22–

AD7707  
filtering which can be provided in front of the AD7707 when it  
is used in unbuffered mode. However, when the part is used in  
buffered mode, large source impedances will simply result in a  
small dc offset error (a 10 ksource resistance will cause an  
offset error of less than 10 µV). Therefore, if the system requires  
any significant source impedances to provide passive analog  
filtering in front of the AD7707, it is recommended that the part  
be operated in buffered mode.  
to correctly set up the coefficients. 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.  
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.  
CALIBRATION  
The AD7707 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 calibration  
cycle may be initiated at any time by writing to these bits of the  
Setup Register. Calibration on the AD7707 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 initi-  
ated if there is a change in the selected gain, filter notch or bipo-  
lar/unipolar input range.  
Errors due to resistor mismatch in the attenuator on the high  
level input channel AIN3 are not removed by a self-calibration.  
System Calibration  
System calibration allows the AD7707 to compensate for system  
gain and offset errors as well as its own internal errors. System  
calibration performs the same slope factor calculations 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.  
The AD7707 offers self-calibration and system calibration facili-  
ties. For full calibration to occur on the selected channel, 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 conver-  
sion 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 con-  
version is stored in the Zero-Scale Calibration Register while the  
result of the “full-scale” calibration conversion is stored in the  
Full-Scale Calibration Register. With these readings, the micro-  
controller can calculate the offset and the gain slope for the  
input-to-output transfer function of the converter.  
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  
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 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.  
Self-Calibration  
A self-calibration is initiated on the AD7707 by writing the  
appropriate values (0, 1) to the MD1 and MD0 bits of  
the Setup Register. In the self-calibration mode with a unipolar  
input range, the zero-scale point used in determining the calibra-  
tion coefficients is with the inputs of the differential pair inter-  
nally shorted on the part (i.e., AIN1 = LOCOM = Internal Bias  
Voltage in the case of the AD7707. The PGA is set for the se-  
lected gain (as per G1 and G0 bits in the Communications Reg-  
ister) for this zero-scale calibration conversion. The full-scale  
calibration conversion is performed at the selected gain on an  
internally-generated voltage of VREF/Selected Gain.  
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  
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/Out-  
put Rate for a conversion on the analog input and some overhead

Figure 15. Span and Offset Limits for Low Level Input  
Channels AIN1 and AIN2  
If the part is used in bipolar mode with a required span of ±0.4  
× VREF/GAIN, the offset range the system calibration can handle  
is from –0.65 × VREF/GAIN to +0.65 × VREF/GAIN. If the part is  
used in bipolar mode with a required span of ±VREF/GAIN,  
then the offset range which the system calibration can handle is  
from –0.05 × VREF/GAIN to +0.05 × VREF/GAIN. Similarly, if  
the part is used in bipolar mode and required to remove an  
offset of ±0.2 × VREF/GAIN, the span range the system calibra-  
tion can handle is ±0.85 × VREF/GAIN. Figure 15 shows a  
graphical representation of the span and offset limits for the low  
level input channels.  
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 on the Low Level Input Channels  
AIN1 and AIN2  
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 ×  
VREF/GAIN. This allows the input range to go 5% above the  
nominal range. The built-in headroom in the AD7707’s analog  
modulator ensures that the part will still operate correctly with a  
positive full-scale voltage that is 5% beyond the nominal.  
Span and Offset Limits on the High Level Input Channel  
AIN3  
The exact same reasoning as above can be applied to the high  
level input channel. When using the high level channel the at-  
tenuator provides an attenuation factor of 8. All span and offset  
limits should be multiplied by a factor of 8. Therefore, the range  
of input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes has a  
minimum value of 6.4 × VREF/GAIN and a maximum value of  
16.8 × VREF/GAIN. The offset range plus the span range cannot  
exceed 8.4 × VREF/GAIN.  
The input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes has a  
minimum value of 0.8 × VREF/GAIN and a maximum value of  
2.1 × VREF/GAIN. However, the span (which is the difference  
between the bottom of the AD7707’s input 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 ac-  
count the limitation on the positive full-scale voltage. In unipo-  
lar mode, there is considerable flexibility in handling negative  
offsets. In both unipolar and bipolar modes, the range of posi-  
tive offsets that can be handled by the part depends on the  
selected span. Therefore, in determining the limits for system  
zero-scale and full-scale calibrations, the user has to ensure that  
Power-Up and Calibration  
On power-up, the AD7707 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 calibration  
for the device, a calibration routine should be performed after  
power-up. A calibration should be performed if the update-rate  
or gain are changed.  
The power dissipation and temperature drift of the AD7707 are  
low and no warm-up time is required before the initial calibra-  
tion is performed. However, if an external reference 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 the following).  
the offset range plus the span range does exceed 1.05 × VREF  
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 × VREF/GAIN, the offset range the system calibration can  
handle is from –1.05 × VREF/GAIN to +0.25 × VREF/GAIN. If  
the part is used in unipolar mode with a required span of VREF  
GAIN, the offset range the system calibration can handle is  
from –1.05 × VREF/GAIN to +0.05 × VREF/GAIN. Similarly, if

the current drain varies across crystal types. When using a crys-  
tal with an ESR of 700 or when using a ceramic resonator, the  
increase in the typical current over an externally-applied clock is  
20 µA with DVDD = +3 V and 200 µA with DVDD = +5 V. When  
using a crystal with an ESR of 3 k, the increase in the typical  
current over an externally applied clock is again 100 µA with

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 DVDD = 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 Mfeedback resistor may be required  
across the crystal or resonator in order to keep the start-up times  
around the 20 ms duration.  
USING THE AD7707  
Clocking and Oscillator Circuit  
The AD7707 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 frequency can be  
connected between MCLK IN and MCLK OUT as shown in  
Figure 16, 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  
–3 dB frequency, output update rate and calibration time are all  
directly related to the master clock frequency, fCLKIN. Reducing  
the master clock frequency by a factor of 2 will halve the above  
frequencies and update rate and double the calibration time.  
The current drawn from the DVDD power supply is also related  
to fCLKIN. Reducing fCLKIN by a factor of 2 will halve the DVDD  
current but will not affect the current drawn from the AVDD.  
The AD7707’s 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 gen-  
erate the AD7707’s clock, it may be desirable to use this clock  
as the clock source for the system. In this case, it is recom-  
mended that the MCLK OUT signal is buffered with a CMOS  
buffer before being applied to the rest of the circuit.  
System Synchronization  
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 DVDD 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  
AD7707 is achieved with an externally applied clock at the  
MCLK IN pin with MCLK OUT unconnected, unloaded and  
disabled.  
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 amount of additional current taken by the oscillator de-  
pends on a number of factors—first, 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 AD7707. Care  
should be taken not to exceed the capacitor values recom-  
mended 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 effective series resistance  
(ESR) of the crystal that appears between the MCLK IN and  
MCLK OUT pins of the AD7707. As a general rule, the lower  
the ESR value the lower the current taken by the oscillator circuit.  
The FSYNC input can also be used as a software start convert  
command allowing the AD7707 to be operated in a conven-  
tional 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  
AD7707 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 × tCLKIN 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.  
When operating with a clock frequency of 2.4576 MHz, there is  
50 µA difference in the current between an externally applied  
clock and a crystal resonator when operating with a DVDD of  
+3 V. With DVDD = +5 V and fCLKIN = 2.4576 MHz, the typical  
current increases by 250 µA 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,

AD7707  
Reset Input  
Accuracy  
The RESET input on the AD7707 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 AD7707  
ignores all communications to any of its registers while the  
RESET input is low. When the RESET input returns high, the  
AD7707 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 AD7707 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.  
Sigma-Delta ADCs, like VFCs and other integrating ADCs, do  
not contain any source of nonmonotonicity and inherently offer  
no missing codes performance. The AD7707 achieves excellent  
linearity by the use of high quality, on-chip capacitors, which  
have a very low capacitance/voltage coefficient. The device 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 AD7707 uses digital calibration  
techniques that minimize offset and gain error.  
Drift Considerations  
The AD7707’s 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. Therefore, in  
applications where the system clock is provided by the AD7707’s  
clock, the AD7707 produces an uninterrupted master clock  
during RESET commands.  
Charge injection in the analog switches and dc leakage currents  
at the sampling modes 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.  
Standby Mode  
Measurement errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be elimi-  
nated at any time by recalibrating the converter. Using the sys-  
tem calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors in  
the signal conditioning circuitry. Integral and differential linear-  
ity errors are not significantly affected by temperature changes.  
The STBY bit in the Communications Register of the AD7707  
allows the user to place the part in a power-down mode when it  
is not required to provide conversion results. The AD7707  
retains the contents of all its on-chip registers (including the  
data register) while in standby mode. When released 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.  
POWER SUPPLIES  
The AD7707 operates with power supplies between 2.7 V and  
5.25 V. There is no specific power supply sequence required for  
the AD7707, either the AVDD or the DVDD supply can come up  
first. In normal operation the DVDD must not exceed AVDD by  
0.3 V. While the latch-up performance of the AD7707 is good,  
it is important that power is applied to the AD7707 before sig-  
nals 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 to less than 100 mA. If  
separate supplies are used for the AD7707 and the system digi-  
tal circuitry, the AD7707 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.  
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 × tCLKIN 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.  
Placing the part in standby mode reduces the total current to  
9 µA typical with 5 V supplies and 4 µA with 3 V supplies when  
the part is operated from an external master clock provided this  
master clock is stopped. If the external clock continues to drive  
the MCLK IN pin in standby mode, the standby current in-  
creases to 150 µA typical with 5 V supplies and 75 µA typical  
with 3 V supplies. If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the  
clock source, the total current in standby mode is 400 µA typical  
with 5 V supplies and 90 µA with 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 provided by the AD7707’s clock, so that the  
AD7707 produces an uninterrupted master clock even when it is  
in its standby mode. The serial interface remains operational  
when in standby mode so that data can be read from the output  
register in standby, regardless of whether or not the master clock  
is stopped.

Supply Current  
side of the board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are  
placed on the solder side.  
The current consumption on the AD7707 is specified for sup-  
plies 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 supply  
range and the IDD for the part varies as the supply voltage varies  
over this range. There is an internal current boost bit on the  
AD7707 that is set internally in accordance with the operating  
conditions. This affects the current drawn by the analog cir-  
cuitry within these devices. Minimum power consumption is  
achieved when the AD7707 is operated with an fCLKIN of 1 MHz  
or at gains of 1 to 4 with fCLKIN = 2.4575 MHz as the internal  
boost bit is off reducing the analog current consumption. Figure  
17 shows the variation of the typical IDD with VDD voltage for  
both a 1 MHz crystal oscillator and a 2.4576 MHz crystal oscil-  
lator at +25°C. The AD7707 is operated in unbuffered mode.  
The relationship shows that the IDD is minimized by operating  
the part with lower VDD voltages. IDD on the AD7707 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 IDD with gain, VDD and  
clock frequency using an external clock.  
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution ADCs.  
All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in  
parallel with 0.1 µF 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 µF disc  
ceramic capacitors to DGND.  
Evaluating the AD7707 Performance  
The recommended layout for the AD7707 is outlined in the  
evaluation board. The evaluation board package include a fully  
assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, soft-  
ware for controlling the board over the printer port of a PC and  
software for analyzing their performance on the PC.  
Noise levels in the signals applied to the AD7707 may also  
affect performance of the part. The AD7707 software evaluation  
package allows the user to evaluate the true performance of the  
part, independent of the analog input signal. The scheme in-  
volves using a test mode on the part where the inputs to the  
AD7707 are internally shorted together to provide a zero differ-  
ential voltage for the analog modulator. External to the device,  
the LOCOM and HICOM inputs on the AD7707 should be  
connected to voltages that are within the allowable common-  
mode range of the part. This scheme should be used after a  
calibration has been performed on the part.  
Grounding and Layout  
Since the analog inputs and reference input are differential,  
most of the voltages in the analog modulator are common-mode  
voltages. 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 AD7707 is more immune to  
noise interference than a conventional high resolution converter.  
However, because the resolution of the AD7707 is so high, and  
the noise levels from the AD7707 so low, care must be taken  
with regard to grounding and layout.  
DIGITAL INTERFACE  
As previously outlined, the AD7707’s programmable functions  
are controlled using a set of on-chip registers. Data is written to  
these registers via the part’s serial interface and read access to  
the on-chip registers is also provided by this interface. All com-  
munications to the part must start with a write operation to the  
Communications Register. After power-on or RESET, the de-  
vice 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 determines 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 printed circuit board that houses the AD7707 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 AD7707 is in a  
system where multiple devices require AGND-to-DGND con-  
nections, the connection should be made at one point only, a  
star ground point which should be established as close as pos-  
sible to the AD7707.  
The AD7707’s 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 AD7707’s data register. DRDY  
goes low when a new data word is available in the output regis-  
ter. 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 de-  
code the AD7707 in systems where a number of parts are con-  
nected to the serial bus.  
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these might  
couple noise onto the analog circuitry within the AD7707. The  
analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7707  
to reduce noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7707  
should use wide traces 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 crossover 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  
microstrip technique is by far the best, but is not always possible  
with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component

where the AD7707 is expecting a write operation to its Commu-  
nications 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.  
Figures 18 and 19 show timing diagrams for interfacing to the  
AD7707 with CS used to decode the part. Figure 17 is for a  
read operation from the AD7707’s output shift register while  
Figure 18 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.  
Some microprocessor or microcontroller serial interfaces have a  
single serial data line. In this case, it is possible to connect the  
AD7707’s DATA OUT and DATA IN lines together and con-  
nect them to the single data line of the processor. A 10 kpull-  
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.  
The AD7707 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 AD7707 and the status  
of DRDY can be obtained by interrogating the MSB of the  
Communications Register. This scheme is suitable for interfac-  
ing 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.  
CONFIGURING THE AD7707  
The AD7707 contains six on-chip registers that the user can  
accesses via the serial interface. Communication with any of  
these registers is initiated by writing to the Communications  
Register first. Figure 20 outlines a flow diagram of the sequence  
used to configure all registers after a power-up or reset on the  
AD7707. The flowchart also shows two different read options—  
the first where the DRDY pin is polled to determine when an  
update of the data register has taken place, the second where the  
DRDY bit of the Communications Register is interrogated to  
see if a data register update has taken place. Also included in the  
flowing diagram is a series of words that should be written to the  
registers for a particular set of operating conditions. These con-  
ditions are gain of one, no filter sync, bipolar mode, buffer off,  
clock of 4.9512 MHz and an output rate of 50 Hz.  
The AD7707 can also be operated with CS used as a frame  
synchronization signal. This scheme is suitable for DSP inter-  
faces. 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.  
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 AD7707 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

MICROCOMPUTER/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
The AD7707’s flexible serial interface allows for easy interface  
to most microcomputers and microprocessors. The flowchart of  
Figure 20 outlines the sequence that should be followed when  
interfacing a microcontroller or microprocessor to the AD7707.  
Figures 21, 22 and 23 show some typical interface circuits.

The serial interface on the AD7707 is capable of operating from  
just three wires and is compatible with SPI interface protocols.  
The three-wire operation makes the part ideal for isolated sys-  
tems where minimizing the number of interface lines minimizes  
the number of optoisolators required in the system. The serial  
clock input is a Schmitt triggered input to accommodate slow  
edges from optocouplers. The rise and fall times of other digital  
inputs to the AD7707 should be no longer than 1 µs.

CS  
Most of the registers on the AD7707 are 8-bit registers, which  
facilitates easy interfacing to the 8-bit serial ports of microcon-  
trollers. The Data Register on the AD7707 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 processors and micro-  
processors 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 AD7707.  
Figure 21. AD7707 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 AD7707 is not capable of full  
duplex operation. If the AD7707 is configured for a write op-  
eration, no data appears on the DATA OUT lines even when  
the SCLK input is active. Similarly, if the AD7707 is config-  
ured for a read operation, data presented to the part on the  
DATA IN line is ignored even when SCLK is active.  
Even though some of the registers on the AD7707 are only  
eight bits in length, communicating with two of these registers  
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 Communica-  
tions 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.  
Coding for an interface between the 68HC11 and the  
AD7707 is given in Table XV. In this example, the DRDY  
output line of the AD7707 is connected to the PC0 port bit of  
the 68HC11 and is polled to determine its status.

Figure 21 shows an interface between the AD7707 and the

In this scheme, the DRDY bit of the Communications 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  
AD7707. The monitoring of the DRDY line can be done in two  
ways. First, DRDY can be connected to one of the 68HC11’s  
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 AD7707, 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.

An interface circuit between the AD7707 and the 8XC51  
microcontroller is shown in Figure 22. The diagram shows the  
minimum number of interface connections with CS on the  
AD7707 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 interface lines to three,  
is to monitor the DRDY output line from the AD7707. The  
monitoring of the DRDY line can be done in two ways. First,  
DRDY can be connected to one of the 8XC51’s 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 inter-  
faces that require control of the CS input on the AD7707, one  
of the port bits of the 8XC51 (such as P1.1), which is config-  
ured 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 AD7707 should be  
connected together with a 10 kpull-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  
AD7707 expects the MSB first so the data to be transmitted has  
to be rearranged before being written to the output serial regis-  
ter. Similarly, the AD7707 outputs the MSB first during a read  
operation 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 AD7707 is available in the  
accumulator.  
Figure 23 shows an interface between the AD7707 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 AD7707 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 AD7707.  
CODE FOR SETTING UP THE AD7707  
Table XVII gives a set of read and write routines in C code for  
interfacing the 68HC11 microcontroller to the AD7707. The  
sample program sets up the various registers on the AD7707  
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 20. In the example code given  
here, the DRDY output is polled to determine if a new valid

AD7707  
APPLICATIONS  
signals up to ±10 V in amplitude. This application shows the  
high level input channel being used to convert a number of  
input signals provided through an external mux controlled by  
the system microcontroller. Switching channels on the external  
multiplexer is equivalent to providing a step change on the  
AIN3 input. It takes 3 or 4 updates before the correct output  
code corresponding to the new analog input appears at the  
output. Therefore, when switching between channels on the  
external mux the first three outputs should be ignored following  
the channel change or the FSYNC bit in the setup register  
should be used to reset the digital filter and ensure that the  
DRDY is set high until a valid result is available in the output  
register.  
The AD7707 provides a low cost, high resolution analog-to-  
digital function with two low level input channels and one high  
level input channel. Because the analog-to-digital function 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 capacitor. In addi-  
tion, using the AD7707 in a system allows the system designer  
to achieve a much higher level of resolution because noise per-  
formance of the AD7707 is better than that of the integrating  
ADCs.  
Smart Valve/Actuator Control  
Another area where the low power, single supply and high volt-  
age input capability is of benefit is in smart valve and and actua-  
tor control circuits. The AD7707 monitors the signal from the  
control valve. The controller and the AD7707 form a closed-  
loop control circuit. Figure 25 shows a block diagram of a smart  
actual or control circuit which includes the AD7707. The AD7707  
monitors the valve position via a high quality servo pot whose  
output is ±10 V.  
The on-chip PGA allows the AD7707 to handle an analog input  
voltage ranges as low as 10 mV full-scale with VREF = +1.25 V.  
The pseudo-differential input capability of the low level channel  
allows this analog input range to have an absolute value any-  
where between AGND – 100 mV and AVDD + 30 mV when the  
part is operated in unbuffered mode. It allows the user to con-  
nect the transducer directly to the input of the AD7707.  
In addition, the three-wire digital interface on the AD7707  
allows data acquisition front ends to be isolated with just three  
wires. The AD7707 can be operated from a single 3 V or 5 V  
and its low power operation ensures that very little power needs  
to be brought across the isolation barrier in an isolated application.  
Similar applications for the AD7707 would be in the area of  
smart transmitters. Here, the entire smart transmitter must  
operate from the 4 mA to 20 mA loop.  
Tolerances in the loop mean that the amount of current avail-  
able to power the transmitter is as low as 3.5 mA. The AD7707  
consumes only 280 µA, leaving at least 3 mA available for the  
rest of the transmitter. Figure 26 shows a block diagram of a  
smart transmitter which includes the AD7707.

Pressure Measurement  
Thermocouple Measurement  
Other typical applications for the AD7707 include temperature  
and pressure measurement. Figure 27 shows the AD7707 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(–)  
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(–)  
terminals). Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full-scale  
output range from the transducer is 15 mV. The low level input  
channels are ideal for this type of low signal measurement appli-  
cation. The excitation voltage for the bridge is also used to  
generate the reference voltage for the AD7707. Therefore,  
variations in the excitation voltage do not introduce errors in  
the system. Choosing resistor values of 24 kand 15 k, as  
per Figure 27, gives a 1.92 V reference voltage for the AD7707  
when the excitation voltage is 5 V.  
Another application area for the AD7707 is in temperature  
measurement. Figure 28 outlines a connection from a thermo-  
couple to the AD7707. In this application, the AD7707 is oper-  
ated in its unbuffered mode to accommodate signals of ±100 mV  
on the front end. Cold conjunction compensation is imple-  
mented using the AD590 temperature transducer that produces  
an output current proportional to absolute temperature.

Chart Recorders  
RTD Measurement  
Another area where both high and low level input channels are  
usually found is in chart recorder applications. Circular chart  
recorders generally have two requirements. The first which  
would utilize the low level input channels of the AD7707 to  
measure inputs from thermocouples, RTDs and pressure sen-  
sors. The second requirement is to be able to measure dc input  
voltage ranges up to ±10 V. The high level input channel is  
ideally suited to this measurement as there is no external signal  
conditioning required to accommodate these high level input  
signals.  
Figure 29 shows another temperature measurement application  
for the AD7707. In this case, the transducer is an RTD (Resis-  
tive Temperature Device), a PT100. The arrangement is a 4-  
lead RTD configuration. There are voltage drops across the lead  
resistances RL1 and RL4 but these simply shift the common-  
mode voltage. There is no voltage drop across lead resistances  
RL2 and RL3 as the input current to the AD7707 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 AD7707.  
If the buffer is required, the common-mode voltage should be  
set accordingly by inserting a small resistance between the bot-  
tom end of the RTD and GND of the AD7707. In the applica-  
tion shown, an external 400 µA current source provides the  
excitation current for the PT100 and also generates the refer-  
ence voltage for the AD7707 via the 6.25 kresistor. Variations  
in the excitation current do not affect the circuit as both the  
input voltage and the reference voltage vary radiometrically with  
the excitation current. However, the 6.25 kresistor must have  
a low temperature coefficient to avoid errors in the reference  
voltage over temperature.

AD7707  
Accommodating Various High Level Input Ranges  
The high level input channel, AIN3 can accommodate input signals from –11 V to +30 V on its input. This is achieved using  
on-chip thin film resistors that map the signal on AIN3 into a usable range for the AD7707. The input structure is arranged  
so that the sigma-delta converter sees the same impedance at its AIN(+) and AIN(–) inputs. The signal on the AIN3 input is  
referenced to the HICOM input and the VBIAS signal is used to adjust the common-mode voltage at the modulator input.  
In normal 5 V operation VBIAS is normally connected to 2.5 V and HICOM is connected to AGND. This arrangement  
ensures that the voltages seen at the modulator input are within the common-mode range of the buffer.  
The differential voltage, AIN, seen by the AD7707 when using the high level input channel is the difference between AIN3(+)  
and AIN3(–) as shown in Figure 30 and must remain within the absolute common-mode range of the modulator.  
AIN3(+) = (AIN3 + 6 × VBIAS+ V (HICOM))/8  
AIN3(–) = 0.75 × VBIAS + 0.25 V (HICOM)

Typical Input Currents  
When using the high level input channel, power dissipation is determined by the currents flowing in the AIN3, VBIAS and  
HICOM inputs. The voltage level applied to these inputs determines whether the external source driving these inputs needs  
to sink of source current. The following table shows the currents associated with the ±10 V input range. These inputs should  
be driven from a low impedance source in all applications to prevent significant gain errors being introduced.

APPENDIX 1. OUTPUT NOISE FOR HIGH LEVEL INPUT CHANNEL, AIN3 (5 V OPERATION)  
Specified high level input voltage ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to +10 V and 0 V to +5 V only utilize two gain different gain  
settings (gains of 2 and 4) out of the eight possible settings available within the PGA. The tables here show what the high  
level channel performance actually is over the complete range of gain settings. Table XXII shows the AD7707 output rms  
noise and peak-to-peak resolution for the selectable notch and –3 dB frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1 and  
FS2 of the Clock Register. The numbers are given for all input ranges with a VREF of +2.5 V, HBIAS = 2.5 V, HICOM =  
AGND and AVDD = 5 V. These numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input voltage of 0 V for buffered mode of  
operation. Table XXIII meanwhile shows the rms and peak-to-peak resolution for buffered mode of operation. It is important  
to note that these numbers represent the resolution for which there will be no code flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise but  
on peak-to-peak noise. The output noise comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices  
(device noise) used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted into the digital  
domain, quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is independent of frequency. The quantization  
noise starts at an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source. The  
numbers in the tables are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers will be the same  
as the bipolar range but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal range which effectively means losing 1  
bit of resolution.

cies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1 and FS2 of the Clock Register. The numbers are given for all input ranges with a  
VREF of +1.25 V, HBIAS = 1.25 V, HICOM = AGND and AVDD = 3 V. These numbers are typical and are generated at an  
analog input voltage of 0 V for unbuffered mode of operation. Table XXV meanwhile shows the output rms noise and peak-to-  
peak resolution for buffered mode of operation with the same operating conditions as above. It is important to note that these  
numbers represent the resolution for which there will be no code flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise but on peak-to-peak  
noise. The output noise comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device noise)  
used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted into the digital domain, quanti-  
zation noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at an  
even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source. The numbers in the tables  
are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers will be the same as the bipolar range  
but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal range which effectively means losing 1 bit of resolution.
