GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7195 is a low noise, complete analog front end for high
precision measurement applications. It contains a low noise,
24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-) analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The on-chip low noise gain stage means that signals of small
amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC. The AD7195
contains ac excitation, which is used to remove dc-induced
offsets from bridge sensors.
The device can be configured to have two differential inputs or
four pseudo differential inputs. The on-chip channel sequencer
allows several channels to be enabled, and the AD7195 sequentially
converts on each enabled channel. This simplifies communication
with the part. The on-chip 4.92 MHz clock can be used as the
clock source to the ADC or, alternatively, an external clock or
crystal can be used. The output data rate from the part can be
varied from 4.7 Hz to 4.8 kHz.
The device has two digital filter options. The choice of filter
affects the rms noise/noise-free resolution at the programmed
output data rate, the settling time, and the 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection. For applications that require all conversions to be settled,
the AD7195 includes a zero latency feature.
The part operates with a 5 V analog power supply and a digital
power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. It consumes a current of
6 mA. It is housed in a 32-lead LFCSP package.

These numbers are measured with the load circuit shown in Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.

The SCLK active edge is the falling edge of SCLK.
5
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit shown in Figure 2. The measured number
is then extrapolated back to remove the 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.

returns high after a read of the data register. In single conversion mode and continuous conversion mode, the same data can be read again, if required, while

Digital Output. Provides a signal that can be used to control the reversing of the bridge excitation in ac
excited bridge applications. In ac mode, ACX2 toggles in anti-phase with ACX1. If the ACX bit equals zero (ac
excitation turned off), the ACX2 output remains low. When toggling, it is guaranteed to be nonoverlapping
with ACX1. The nonoverlap interval between ACX1 and ACX2 is 1/(master clock) which is equal to 200 ns
when a 4.92 MHz clock is used.

Digital Output. Provides a signal that can be used to control the reversing of the bridge excitation in ac

3 ACX1
Digital Output. Provides a signal that can be used to control the reversing of the bridge excitation in ac

Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDY serves a dual purpose. It functions as a serial data output
pin to access the output shift register of the ADC. The output shift register can contain data from any of the
on-chip data or control registers. In addition, DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready pin, going low to indicate
the completion of a conversion. If the data is not read after the conversion, the pin goes high before the next
update occurs. The DOUT/RDY
data is available. With an external serial clock, the data can be read using the DOUT/RDY

Serial Data Input to the Input Shift Register on the ADC. Data in this shift register is transferred to the control
registers in the ADC, with the register selection bits of the communications register identifying the appropriate register.
When the master clock for the device is provided externally by a crystal, the crystal is connected between
MCLK1 and MCLK2.
Master Clock Signal for the Device. The AD7195 has an internal 4.92 MHz clock. This internal clock can be
made available on the MCLK2 pin. The clock for the AD7195 can be provided externally also in the form of a
crystal or external clock. A crystal can be tied across the MCLK1 and MCLK2 pins. Alternatively, the MCLK2 pin
can be driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and the MCLK1 pin left unconnected.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is for data transfers to and from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitttriggered input, making the interface suitable for opto-isolated applications. The serial clock can be

ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The ADC is controlled and configured via a number of on-chip registers described on the following pages. In the following descriptions,
the term set implies a Logic 1 state and cleared implies a Logic 0 state, unless otherwise noted.

The communications register is an 8-bit write-only register.
All communications to the part must start with a write
operation to the communications register. The data written
to the communications register determines whether the next
operation is a read or a write operation and in which register
this operation takes place. For read or write operations, when
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

the serial interface communication (see Tabl e 20).
Continuous read of the data register. When this bit is set to 1 (and the data register is selected), the serial
interface is configured so that the data register can be continuously read; that is, the contents of the data
register are automatically placed on the DOUT pin when the SCLK pulses are applied after the RDY
goes low to indicate that a conversion is complete. The communications register does not have to be
written to for subsequent data reads. To enable continuous read, the Instruction 01011100 must be written
to the communications register. To disable continuous read, the Instruction 01011000 must be written to

STATUS REGISTER
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x80)
The status register is an 8-bit read-only register. To access the ADC status register, the user must write to the communications register,
select the next operation to be a read, and load Bit RS2, Bit RS1, and Bit RS0 with 0. Ta b le 2 1 outlines the bit designations for the status
register. SR0 through SR7 indicate the bit locations, SR denoting that the bits are in the status register. SR7 denotes the first bit of the data
stream. The number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit.

conversion is also indicated by the DOUT/RDY pin. This pin can be used as an alternative to the status
register for monitoring the ADC for conversion data.
ADC error bit. This bit is written to at the same time as the RDY
written to the ADC data register is clamped to all 0s or all 1s. Error sources include overrange or under-
range, or the absence of a reference voltage. This bit is cleared when the result written to the data register
is within the allowed analog input range again.
No external reference bit. This bit is set to indicate that the reference is at a voltage that is below a specified
threshold. When set, conversion results are clamped to all 1s. This bit is cleared to indicate that a valid
reference is applied to the selected reference pins. The NOREF bit is enabled by setting the REFDET bit in
the configuration register to 1.
Parity check of the data register. If the ENPAR bit in the mode register is set, the PARITY bit is set if there is
an odd number of 1s in the data register. It is cleared if there is an even number of 1s in the data register.
The DAT_STA bit in the mode register should be set when the parity check is used. When the DAT_STA bit is
set, the contents of the status register are transmitted along with the data for each data register read.
These bits indicate which channel corresponds to the data register contents. They do not indicate which
channel is presently being converted but indicate which channel was selected when the conversion
contained in the data register was generated.
The mode register is a 24-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to select the
operating mode, the output data rate, and the clock source. Ta b le 22 outlines the bit designations for the mode register. MR0 through
MR23 indicate the bit locations, MR denoting that the bits are in the mode register. MR23 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The
number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. Any write to the mode register resets the modulator and

This bit enables the transmission of status register contents after each data register read. When
DAT_STA is set, the contents of the status register are transmitted along with each data register read.
This function is useful when several channels are selected because the status register identifies the
channel to which the data register value corresponds.
These bits select the clock source for the AD7195. Either the on-chip 4.92 MHz clock or an external
clock can be used. The ability to use an external clock allows several AD7195 devices to be synchronized. Also, 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is improved when an accurate external clock drives the AD7195.

Enable parity bit. When ENPAR is set, parity checking on the data register is enabled. The DAT_STA bit
in the mode register should be set when the parity check is used. When the DAT_STA bit is set, the
contents of the status register are transmitted along with the data for each data register read.
Single cycle conversion enable bit. When this bit is set, the AD7195 settles in one conversion cycle so
that it functions as a zero-latency ADC. This bit has no effect when multiple analog input channels are
enabled or when the single conversion mode is selected.
This bit enables a notch at 60 Hz when the first notch of the sinc filter is at 50 Hz. When REJ60 is set, a
filter notch is placed at 60 Hz when the sinc filter first notch is at 50 Hz. This allows simultaneous 50 Hz/
60 Hz rejection.
Filter output data rate select bits. The 10 bits of data programmed into these bits determine the filter
cut-off frequency, the position of the first notch of the filter, and the output data rate for the part. In
association with the gain selection, they also determine the output noise (and, therefore, the effective
resolution) of the device (see Table 6 through Table 1 7 ). When chop is disabled and continuous
conversion mode is selected,
Output Data Rate = (MCLK/1024)/FS
where FS is the decimal equivalent of the code in Bit FS0 to Bit FS9 and is in the range 1 to 1023, and
MCLK is the master clock frequency. With a nominal MCLK of 4.92 MHz, this results in an output data
rate from 4.69 Hz to 4.8 kHz. With chop disabled, the first notch frequency is equal to the output data
rate when converting on a single channel. When chop is enabled,
Output Data Rate = (MCLK/1024)/(N × FS)
where FS is the decimal equivalent of the code in Bit FS0 to Bit FS9 and is in the range 1 to 1023, and
MCLK is the master clock frequency. With a nominal MCLK of 4.92 MHz, this results in a conversion rate
from 4.69/N Hz to 4.8/N kHz, where N is the order of the sinc filter. The sinc filter’s first notch frequency
is equal to N × output data rate. The chopping introduces notches at odd integer multiples of (output
data rate/2).

Continuous conversion mode (default). In continuous conversion mode, the ADC continuously performs
conversions and places the result in the data register. The DOUT/RDY
go low when a conversion is complete. The user can read these conversions by setting the CREAD bit in the communications register to 1, which enables continuous read. When continuous read is enabled, the conversions are
automatically placed on the DOUT line when SCLK pulses are applied. Alternatively, the user can instruct the ADC
to output each conversion by writing to the communications register. After power-on, a reset, or a reconfiguration
of the ADC, the complete settling time of the filter is required to generate the first valid conversion. Subsequent
conversions are available at the selected output data rate, which is dependent on filter choice.
Single conversion mode. When single conversion mode is selected, the ADC powers up and performs a single
conversion on the selected channel. The internal clock requires up to 1 ms to power up and settle. The ADC then
performs the conversion, which requires the complete settling time of the filter. The conversion result is placed in
the data register. RDY

is performed.
Idle mode. In idle mode, the ADC filter and modulator are held in a reset state even though the modulator clocks are
still provided.
Power-down mode. In power-down mode, all AD7195 circuitry, except the bridge power-down switch, is powered
down. The bridge power-down switch remains active because the user may need to power up the sensor prior to
powering up the AD7195 for settling reasons. The external crystal, if selected, remains active.
Internal zero-scale calibration. An internal short is automatically connected to the input. RDY
calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a
calibration. The measured offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected channel.
Internal full-scale calibration. A full-scale input voltage is automatically connected to the input for this calibration.
RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed
in idle mode following a calibration. The measured full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the
selected channel. A full-scale calibration is required each time the gain of a channel is changed to minimize the fullscale error.
System zero-scale calibration. The user should connect the system zero-scale input to the channel input pins as
selected by the CH7 to CH0 bits in the configuration register. RDY
returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured
offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected channel. A system zero-scale calibration is required
each time the gain of a channel is changed.

The configuration register is a 24-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to
configure the ADC for unipolar or bipolar mode, to enable or disable the buffer, to enable or disable the burnout currents, to select the
gain, and to select the analog input channel. Tab l e 24 outlines the bit designations for the filter register. CON0 through CON23 indicate
the bit locations. CON denotes that the bits are in the configuration register. CON23 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number

Chop enable bit. When the CHOP bit is cleared, chop is disabled. When the CHOP bit is set, chop is
enabled. When chop is enabled, the offset and offset drift of the ADC are continuously removed.
However, this increases the conversion time and settling time of the ADC. For example, when FS = 96
decimal and the sinc4 filter is selected, the conversion time with chop enabled equals 80 ms and the
settling time equals 160 ms. With chop disabled, higher conversion rates are allowed. For an FS word
of 96 decimal and the sinc4 filter selected, the conversion time is 20 ms and the settling time is 80 ms.
However, at low gains, periodic calibrations may be required to remove the offset and offset drift.
When ax excitation is enabled, chop must be enabled also.
AC excitation enable bit. If the signal source to the AD7195 is ac excited, this bit must be set to 1. For
dc-excited inputs, this bit must be 0. With the ACX bit at 1, the AD7195 assumes that the voltage at the
AIN(+)/AIN(–) and REFIN(+)/REFIN(–) input terminals are reversed on alternate input sampling cycles
(that is, chopped). Note that when the AD7195 is performing internal zero-scale or full-scale calibrations, the ACX bit is treated as a 0, that is, the device performs these self-calibrations with dc excitation.
TheBitCHOP must be set to 1 when ac excitation is enabled.
Channel select bits. These bits are used to select which channels are enabled on the AD7195 (see Tabl e 25).
Several channels can be selected, and the AD7195 automatically sequences them. The conversion on
each channel requires the complete settling time. When performing calibrations or when accessing the
calibration registers, only one channel can be selected.
When this bit is set to 1, the 500 nA current sources in the signal path are enabled. When BURN = 0, the
burnout currents are disabled. The burnout currents can be enabled only when the buffer is active and
when chop is disabled.
Enables the reference detect function. When set, the NOREF bit in the status register indicates when the
external reference being used by the ADC is open circuit or less than 0.6 V maximum. The reference
detect circuitry operates only when the ADC is active.
Enables the buffer on the analog inputs. If cleared, the analog inputs are unbuffered, lowering the
power consumption of the device. If this bit is set, the analog inputs are buffered, allowing the user to
place source impedances on the front end without contributing gain errors to the system. With the
buffer disabled, the voltage on the analog input pins can be from 50 mV below AGND to 50 mV above
. When the buffer is enabled, it requires some headroom; therefore, the voltage on any input pin

must be limited to 250 mV within the power supply rails.
The conversion result from the ADC is stored in this data register. This is a read-only, 24-bit register. On completion of a read operation
from this register, the

pin/bit is set. When the DAT_STA bit in the mode register is set to 1, the contents of the status register are
appended to each 24-bit conversion. This is advisable when several analog input channels are enabled because the three LSBs of the status
register (CHD2 to CHD0) identify the channel from which the conversion originated.

The offset register holds the offset calibration coefficient for the
ADC. The power-on reset value of the offset register is
0x800000. The AD7195 has four offset registers; therefore, each
channel has a dedicated offset register (see Ta b le 25 ). Each of
these registers is a 24-bit read/write register. This register is
used in conjunction with its associated full-scale register to
form a register pair. The power-on reset value is automatically
overwritten if an internal or system zero-scale calibration is
initiated by the user. The AD7195 must be placed in powerdown mode or idle mode when writing to the offset register.
The full-scale register is a 24-bit register that holds the full-scale
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The AD7195 has four fullscale registers; therefore, each channel has a dedicated full-scale
register (see Ta b le 2 5 ). The full-scale registers are read/write
registers. However, when writing to the full-scale registers, the
ADC must be placed in power-down mode or idle mode. These
registers are configured at power-on with factory-calibrated
full-scale calibration coefficients, the calibration being performed
at gain = 1. Therefore, every device has different default coefficients. The default value is automatically overwritten if an
internal or system full-scale calibration is initiated by the user
or if the full-scale register is written to.

OVERVIEW
The AD7195 is an ultralow noise ADC that incorporates a Σ-
modulator, a buffer, PGA, and on-chip digital filtering intended
for the measurement of wide dynamic range signals, such as
those in pressure transducers, weigh scales, and strain gage
applications. Figure 18 shows the block diagram for the part.
Analog Inputs
The device can be configured to have two differential or four
pseudo differential analog inputs. The analog inputs can be
buffered or unbuffered.
Multiplexer
The on-chip multiplexer increases the channel count of the
device. Because the multiplexer is included on chip, any
channel changes are synchronized with the conversion process.
PGA
The analog input signal can be amplified using the PGA. The
PGA allows gains of 1, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.
Reference Detect
The AD7195 is capable of monitoring the external reference. If
the reference is not present, a flag is set in the status register of
the device.
Burnout Currents
Two 500 nA burnout currents are included on-chip to detect
the presence of the external sensor.

Σ-Δ ADC and Filter
The AD7195 contains a fourth-order Σ- modulator followed
by a digital filter. The device offers the following filter options:
• Sinc
• Sinc

• Chop enabled/disabled
• Zero latency
AC Excitation
The AD7195 supports ac excitation of load cells. It provides the
four logic outputs needed to control the transistors in an ac
excited load cell design.
Serial Interface
The AD7195 has a 4-wire SPI. The on-chip registers are
accessed via the serial interface.
Clock
The AD7195 has an internal 4.92 MHz clock. Either this clock
or an external clock can be used as the clock source to the
AD7195. The internal clock can also be made available on a
pin if a clock source is required for external circuitry.
Temperature Sensor
The on-chip temperature sensor monitors the die temperature.
Calibration
Both internal and system calibration are included on chip; thus,
the user has the option of removing offset/gain errors internal
to the AD7195 only, or removing the offset/gain errors of the
complete end system.

AD7195
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL
The AD7195 has two differential/four pseudo differential
analog input channels, which can be buffered or unbuffered. In
buffered mode (the BUF bit in the configuration register is set
to 1), the input channel feeds into a high impedance input stage
of the buffer amplifier. Therefore, the input can tolerate significant source impedances and is tailored for direct connection
to external resistive-type sensors such as strain gages or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
When BUF = 0, the part operates in unbuffered mode. This
results in a higher analog input current. Note that this unbuffered
input path provides a dynamic load to the driving source.
Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on the input pins
can cause gain errors, depending on the output impedance of
the source that is driving the ADC input.
allowable external resistance/capacitance values for unbuffered
mode at a gain of 1 such that no gain error at the 20-bit level is
introduced.

The absolute input voltage range in buffered mode is restricted
to a range between AGND + 250 mV and AV
must be taken in setting up the common-mode voltage so that
these limits are not exceeded. Otherwise, linearity and noise
performance degrades.
The absolute input voltage in unbuffered mode includes the
range between AGND − 50 mV and AV
negative absolute input voltage limit does allow the possibility
of monitoring small true bipolar signals with respect to AGND.
PGA
When the gain stage is enabled, the output from the buffer
is applied to the input of the PGA. The presence of the PGA
means that signals of small amplitude can be gained within the
AD7195 while still maintaining excellent noise performance.
For example, when the gain is set to 128, the rms noise is 8.5 nV,
typically, when the output data rate is 4.7 Hz, which is equivalent
to 23 bits of effective resolution or 20.5 bits of noise-free resolution.
The AD7195 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 8, 16, 32,
64, and 128 using Bit G2 to Bit G0 in the configuration register.
Therefore, with an external 2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges
are from 0 mV to 19.53 mV to 0 V to 2.5 V and the bipolar
ranges are from ±19.53 mV to ±2.5 V.
The analog input range must be limited to ±(AV
because the PGA requires some headroom. Therefore, if AV

applications where the excitation (voltage or current) for the
transducer on the analog input also drives the reference voltage
for the part, the effect of the low frequency noise in the excitation source is removed because the application is ratiometric. If
the AD7195 is used in a nonratiometric application, a low noise
reference should be used.
The reference input is unbuffered; therefore, excessive R-C
source impedances introduce gain errors. R-C values similar
to those in
Table 2 7 are recommended for the reference inputs.
Deriving the reference input voltage across an external resistor
means that the reference input sees significant external source
impedance. External decoupling on the REFINx pins is not
recommended in this type of circuit configuration. Conversely,
if large decoupling capacitors are used on the reference inputs,
there should be no resistors in series with the reference inputs.
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7195
include the ADR421 and ADR431, which are low noise references.
These references tolerate decoupling capacitors on REFIN(+)
without introducing gain errors in the system. Figure 19 shows the
recommended connections between the ADR421 and the AD7195.

REFERENCE DETECT
The AD7195 includes on-chip circuitry to detect whether the
part has a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. This
feature is enabled when the REFDET bit in the configuration
register is set to 1. If the voltage between the REFIN(+) and
REFIN(−) pins is between 0.3 V and 0.6 V, the AD7195 detects
that it no longer has a valid reference. In this case, the NOREF
bit of the status register is set to 1. If the AD7195 is performing
normal conversions and the NOREF bit becomes active, the
conversion result is all 1s.
Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously monitor the status
of the NOREF bit when performing conversions. It is only
necessary to verify its status if the conversion result read from
the ADC data register is all 1s. If the AD7195 is performing
either an offset or full-scale calibration and the NOREF bit
becomes active, the updating of the respective calibration

registers is inhibited to avoid loading incorrect coefficients to
these registers, and the ERR bit in the status register is set. If
the user is concerned about verifying that a valid reference is
in place every time a calibration is performed, the status of the
ERR bit should be checked at the end of the calibration cycle.
BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
The analog input to the AD7195 can accept either unipolar or
bipolar input voltage ranges. A bipolar input range does not
imply that the part can tolerate negative voltages with respect
to system AGND. In pseudo differential mode, signals are
referenced to AINCOM while in differential mode, signals are
referenced to the negative input of the differential pair. For
example, if AINCOM is 2.5 V and the AD7195 AIN1 analog
input is configured for unipolar mode with a gain of 2, the input
voltage range on the AIN1 pin is 2.5 V to 3.75 V when a 2.5 V
reference is used. If AINCOM is 2.5 V and the AD7195 AIN1
analog input is configured for bipolar mode with a gain of 2, the
analog input range on AIN1 is 1.25 V to 3.75 V.
The bipolar/unipolar option is chosen by programming the U/
B
bit in the configuration register.
DATA OUTPUT CODING
When the ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output
code is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input
voltage resulting in a code of 00...00, a midscale voltage resulting in a code of 100...000, and a full-scale input voltage resulting
in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog input
voltage can be represented as
Code = (2
N
× AIN × Gain)/V
REF
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output
code is offset binary with a negative full-scale voltage resulting
in a code of 000...000, a zero differential input voltage resulting
in a code of 100...000, and a positive full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog
input voltage can be represented as
Code = 2
N – 1
× [(AIN × Gain/V
REF
) + 1]
where:
N = 24.
AIN is the analog input voltage.
Gain is the PGA setting (1 to 128).
BURNOUT CURRENTS
The AD7195 contains two 500 nA constant current generators,
one sourcing current from AV
current from AIN(−) to AGND, where AIN(+) is the positive
analog input terminal and AIN(−) is the negative analog input
terminal in differential mode and AINCOM in pseudo differential mode. The currents are switched to the selected analog
input pair. Both currents are either on or off, depending on the
burnout current enable (BURN) bit in the configuration
register. These currents can be used to verify that an external
transducer remains operational before attempting to take
measurements on that channel. After the burnout currents are
to AIN(+) and one sinking
DD
Rev. 0 | Page 27 of 44
turned on, they flow in the external transducer circuit, and a
measurement of the input voltage on the analog input channel
can be taken. It will take some time for the burnout currents to
detect an open circuit condition as the currents will need to
charge any external capacitors
There are several reasons why a fault condition might be
detected. The front-end sensor may be open circuit. The frontend sensor may be overloaded, or the reference may be absent
and the NOREF bit in the status register is set, thus clamping
the data to all 1s. Check these possibilities first. If the voltage
measured is 0 V, it may indicate that the transducer has short
circuited. The current sources work over the normal absolute
input voltage range specifications when the analog inputs are
buffered and chop is disabled.
AC EXCITATION
AC excitation of the bridge addresses many of the concerns
with thermocouple, offset, and drift effects encountered in
dc excited applications. In ac excitation, the polarity of the
excitation voltage to the bridge is reversed on alternate
cycles. The result is the elimination of dc errors at the
expense of a more complex system design. Figure 50 outlines
the connections for an ac excited bridge application based
on the AD7195.
The excitation voltage to the bridge must be switched on
alternate cycles. Transistor T1 to Transistor T4 in Figure 50
perform the switching of the excitation voltage. These transistors can be discrete matched bipolar or MOS transistors, or a
dedicated bridge driver chip, such as the MIC4427 available
from Micrel Components, can be used to perform the task.
Since the analog input voltage and the reference voltage are
reversed on alternate cycles, the AD7195 must be synchronized
with this reversing of the excitation voltage. To allow the
AD7195 to synchronize itself with this switching, it provides
the logic control signals for the switching of the excitation
voltage. These signals are the nonoverlapping CMOS outputs
ACX1/
One of the problems encountered with ac excitation is the
settling time associated with the analog input signals after
the excitation voltage is switched. This is particularly true in
applications where there are long lead lengths from the bridge
to the AD7195. It means that the converter could encounter
errors because it is processing signals that are not fully settled.
The AD7195 includes a delay between the switching of the ac
excitation signals and the processing of data at the analog
inputs. The delay equals 100 s when FS[9:0] equals 1 and
equals 200 s for all other output data rates.
The AD7195 also scales the ac excitation switching frequency
in accordance with the output data rate. This avoids situations
where the bridge is switched at an unnecessarily faster rate than
the system requires.
The fact that the AD7195 can handle reference voltages, which
are the same as the excitation voltages, is particularly useful

in ac excitation where resistor divider arrangements on the

transistors turned off. When the AD7195 is in power-down
mode, outputs ACX1 and ACX2 are low and outputs

nected from the bridge.
CHANNEL SEQUENCER
The AD7195 includes a channel sequencer, which simplifies
communications with the device in multichannel applications.
The sequencer also optimizes the channel throughput of the
device because the sequencer switches channels at the optimum
rate rather than waiting for instructions via the SPI interface.
Bit CH0 to Bit CH7 in the configuration register are used to
enable the required channels. In continuous conversion mode,
the ADC selects each of the enabled channels in sequence and
performs a conversion on the channel. The
when a valid conversion is available on each channel. When
several channels are enabled, the contents of the status register
should be attached to the 24-bit word so that the user can
identify the channel that corresponds to each conversion. To
attach the status register value to the conversion, Bit DAT_STA
in the mode register should be set to 1.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
As indicated in the On-Chip Registers section, the programmable functions of the AD7195 are controlled using a set of
on-chip registers. Data is written to these registers via the serial
interface of the part. Read access to the on-chip registers is also
provided by this interface. All communication with the part must
start with a write 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 is a read operation or a write operation and determines to
which register this read or write operation occurs. Therefore,
write access to any of the other registers on the part begins with
a write operation to the communications register, followed by a
write to the selected register. A read operation from any other
register (except when continuous read mode is selected) starts
with a write to the communications register, followed by a read
operation from the selected register.
The serial interface of the AD7195 consists of four signals:
DIN, SCLK, and DOUT/
data into the on-chip registers and DOUT/
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/
RDY
) occur with respect to the SCLK signal.

The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s to the
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7195 DIN line for
at least 40 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset. This
ensures that the interface can be reset to a known state if the
interface gets lost due to a software error or some glitch in the
system. Reset returns the interface to the state in which it expects
a write to the communications register. This operation resets the
contents of all registers to their power-on values. Following a
reset, the user should allow a period of 500 μs before addressing
the serial interface.
The AD7195 can be configured to continuously convert or to
perform a single conversion (see Figure 21 through Figure 23).
Single Conversion Mode
In single conversion mode, the AD7195 is placed in powerdown mode after conversions. When a single conversion is
initiated by setting MD2, MD1, and MD0 to 0, 0, 1, respectively,
in the mode register, the AD7195 powers up, performs a single
conversion, and then returns to power-down mode. The onchip oscillator requires 1 ms, approximately, to power up.
RDY
DOUT/
goes low to indicate the completion of a conversion. When the data-word has been read from the data register,
DOUT/
RDY
goes high. If CS is low, DOUT/
RDY
remains high
until another conversion is initiated and completed. The data
register can be read several times, if required, even when
RDY
DOUT/
has gone high.
If several channels are enabled, the ADC sequences through the
enabled channels and performs a conversion on each channel.
When a conversion is started, DOUT/
RDY
goes high and
remains high until a valid conversion is available. As soon as
the conversion is available, DOUT/
RDY
goes low. The ADC
then selects the next channel and begins a conversion. The user
can read the present conversion while the next conversion is
being performed. As soon as the next conversion is complete,
the data register is updated; therefore, the user has a limited
period in which to read the conversion. When the ADC has
performed a single conversion on each of the selected channels,
it returns to power-down mode.
If the DAT_STA bit in the mode register is set to 1, the contents
of the status register are output along with the conversion each
time that the data read is performed. The four LSBs of the status
register indicate the channel to which the conversion corresponds.

Continuous Conversion Mode
Continuous conversion is the default power-up mode. The
AD7195 converts continuously, and the
register goes low each time a conversion is complete. If
low, the DOUT/

line also goes low when a conversion
is completed. To read a conversion, the user writes to the
communications register, indicating that the next operation is

Continuous Read
Rather than write to the communications register each time
a conversion is complete to access the data, the AD7195 can
be configured so that the conversions are placed on the
DOUT/
RDY
line automatically. By writing 01011100 to
the communications register, the user need only apply the
appropriate number of SCLK cycles to the ADC, and the
conversion word is automatically placed on the DOUT/
RDY
line when a conversion is complete. The ADC should be
configured for continuous conversion mode.

sufficient SCLK cycles must be applied to the ADC; the data

before the next conversion is complete. If the user has not read
the conversion before the completion of the next conversion,
or if insufficient serial clocks are applied to the AD7195 to
read the word, the serial output register is reset when the next
conversion is complete, and the new conversion is placed in
the output serial register.
To exit the continuous read mode, Instruction 01011000 must
be written to the communications register while the
RDY
pin
is low. While in continuous read mode, the ADC monitors
activity on the DIN line so that it can receive the instruction
to exit the continuous read mode. Additionally, a reset occurs
if 40 consecutive 1s are seen on DIN. Therefore, DIN should
be held low in continuous read mode until an instruction is to
be written to the device.
When several channels are enabled, the ADC continuously
steps through the enabled channels and performs one conversion on each channel each time that it is selected. DOUT/
RDY
pulses low when a conversion is available. When the user
applies sufficient SCLK pulses, the data is automatically placed
on the DOUT/
RDY
pin. If the DAT_STA bit in the mode
register is set to 1, the contents of the status register are output
along with the conversion. The status register indicates the

RESET
The circuitry and serial interface of the AD7195 can be reset
by writing consecutive 1s to the device; 40 consecutive 1s are
required to perform the reset. This resets the logic, the digital
filter, and the analog modulator, whereas all on-chip registers
are reset to their default values. A reset is automatically
performed on power-up. When a reset is initiated, the user
must allow a period of 500 μs before accessing any of the
on-chip registers. A reset is useful if the serial interface loses
synchronization due to noise on the SCLK line.

the AD7195. The clock source is selected using the CLK1 and
CLK0 bits in the mode register. When an external crystal is
used, it must be connected across the MCLK1 and MCLK2
pins. The crystal manufacturer recommends the load capacitances
required for the crystal. The MCLK1 and MCLK2 pins of the
AD7195 have a capacitance of 15 pF, typically. If an external
clock source is used, the clock source must be connected to the
MCLK2 pin, and the MCLK1 pin can be left floating.
The internal clock can also be made available at the MCLK2
pin. This is useful when several ADCs are used in an application
and the devices must be synchronized. The internal clock from
one device can be used as the clock source for all ADCs in the
system. Using a common clock, the devices can be synchronized by applying a common reset to all devices, or the
SYNC
pin can be pulsed.
ENABLE PARITY
The AD7195 also has an on-chip parity check function that
detects 1-bit errors in the serial communications between
the ADC and the microprocessor. When the ENPAR bit in
the mode register is set to 1, parity is enabled. The contents of
the status register must be transmitted along with each 24-bit
conversion when the parity function is enabled. To append the
contents of the status register to each conversion read, the
DAT_STA bit in the mode register should be set to 1.
For each conversion read, the parity bit in the status register is
programmed so that the overall number of 1s transmitted in the
24-bit data-word is even. Therefore, for example, if the 24-bit
conversion contains eleven 1s (binary format), the parity bit is
set to 1 so that the total number of 1s in the serial transmission
is even. If the microprocessor receives an odd number of 1s, it
knows that the data received has been corrupted.
The parity function only detects 1-bit errors. For example, two
bits of corrupt data can result in the microprocessor receiving an
even number of 1s. Therefore, an error condition is not detected.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Embedded in the AD7195 is a temperature sensor. This is
selected using the CH2 bit in the configuration register. When
the CH2 bit is set to 1, the temperature sensor is enabled. When
the temperature sensor is selected and bipolar mode is selected,
the device should return a code of 0x800000 when the temperature is 0 K. A one-point calibration is needed to get the optimum
performance from the sensor. Therefore, a conversion at 25°C
should be recorded and the sensitivity calculated. The sensitivity
is approximately 2815 codes/°C. The equation for the temperature
sensor is
Temp (K) = (Conversion − 0x800000)/2815 K
Temp (°C) = Temp (K) − 273
Following the one point calibration, the internal temperature
sensor has an accuracy of ±2 °C, typically.
AD7195
BRIDGE POWER-DOWN SWITCH
In bridge applications, such as strain gauges and load cells, the
bridge itself consumes the majority of the current in the system.
For example, a 350 load cell requires 15 mA of current when
excited with a 5 V supply. To minimize the current consumption
of the system, the bridge can be disconnected (when it is not
being used) using the bridge power-down switch. Figure 50
shows how the bridge power-down switch is used. The switch
can withstand 30 mA of continuous current, and it has an on
resistance of 10 maximum.
CALIBRATION
The AD7195 provides four calibration modes that can be programmed via the mode bits in the mode register. These modes
are internal zero-scale calibration, internal full-scale calibration,
system zero-scale calibration, and system full-scale calibration.
A calibration can be performed at any time by setting the MD2
to MD0 bits in the mode register appropriately. A calibration
should be performed when the gain is changed. After each
conversion, the ADC conversion result is scaled using the ADC
calibration registers before being written to the data register.
The offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the result
prior to multiplication by the full-scale coefficient.
To start a calibration, write the relevant value to the MD2 to
MD0 bits. The DOUT/
RDY
pin and the
register go high when the calibration is initiated. When the
calibration is complete, the contents of the corresponding
calibration registers are updated, the
register is reset, the DOUT/
RDY
low), and the AD7195 reverts to idle mode.
During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the respective zero input and full-scale input are automatically connected
internally to the ADC input pins. A system calibration, however,
expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale voltages to
be applied to the ADC pins before initiating the calibration
mode. In this way, errors external to the ADC are removed.
From an operational point of view, treat a calibration like
another ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration, if required,
must always be performed before a full-scale calibration. Set the
system software to monitor the

for this calibration. For a gain of 1, the time required for an

chop disabled, the zero-scale calibration (internal or system
zero-scale) should be performed before the system full-scale

An internal zero-scale calibration, system zero-scale calibration
and system full-scale calibration can be performed at any output
data rate. An internal full-scale calibration can be performed at
any output data rate for which the filter word FS[9:0] is divisible
by 16, FS[9:0] being the decimal equivalent of the 10-bit word
written to Bit FS9 to Bit FS0 in the mode register. Therefore,
internal full-scale calibrations can be performed at output data
rates such as 10 Hz or 50 Hz when chop is disabled. Using these
lower output data rates results in better calibration accuracy.
The offset error is, typically, 100 µV/gain. If the gain is changed,
it is advisable to perform a calibration. A zero-scale calibration
(an internal zero-scale calibration or system zero-scale
calibration) reduces the offset error to the order of the noise.
The gain error of the AD7195 is factory calibrated at a gain of 1
with a 5 V power supply at ambient temperature. Following this
calibration, the gain error is 0.001%, typically, at 5 V. Tabl e 28
shows the typical uncalibrated gain error for the different gain
settings. An internal full-scale calibration reduces the gain error
to 0.001%, typically, when the gain is equal to 1. For higher
gains, the gain error post internal full-scale calibration is
0.0075%, typically. A system full-sale calibration reduces the
gain error to the order of the noise.

The AD7195 gives the user access to the on-chip calibration
registers, allowing the microprocessor to read the calibration
coefficients of the device and also to write its own calibration
coefficients from prestored values in the EEPROM. A read of
the registers can be performed at any time. However, the ADC
must be placed in power-down or idle mode when writing to

DIGITAL FILTER
The AD7195 offers a lot of flexibility in the digital filter. The
device has four filter options. The device can be operated
with a sinc
zero latency can be enabled. The option selected affects the
output data rate, settling time, and 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection. The
following sections describe each filter type, indicating the
available output data rates for each filter option. The filter response along with the settling time and 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection
is also discussed.
SINC4 FILTER (CHOP DISABLED)
When the AD7195 is powered up, the sinc4 filter is selected
by default and chop is disabled. This filter gives excellent noise
performance over the complete range of output data rates. It
also gives the best 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection, but it has a long
settling time.

When conversions are performed on a single channel and a
step change occurs, the ADC does not detect the change in
analog input. Therefore, it continues to output conversions
at the programmed output data rate. However, it is at least four
conversions later before the output data accurately reflect the
analog input. If the step change occurs while the ADC is
processing a conversion, then the ADC takes five conversions
after the step change to generate a fully settled result.

When the analog input is constant or a channel change occurs,
valid conversions are available at a constant output data rate.
When conversions are being performed on a single channel and
a step change occurs on the analog input, the ADC continues to
output fully settled conversions if the step change is synchronized
with the conversion process. If the step change is asynchronous,
one conversion is output from the ADC, which is not completely

Throughput is the rate at which conversions are available when several channels are enabled. In zero latency mode, the output data rate and throughput are equal.

For output dates rates greater than 1 kHz, the sinc4 filter is recommended.
SUMMARY OF FILTER OPTIONS
The AD7195 has several filter options. The filter that is chosen
affects the output data rate, settling time, the rms noise, the stop
band attenuation, and the 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection.
Tabl e 35 shows some sample configurations and the corresponding performance in terms of throughput, settling time and
50 Hz/60 Hz rejection.

AD7195
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Because the analog inputs and reference inputs are differential,
most of the voltages in the analog modulator are commonmode voltages. The high common-mode rejection of the part
removes common-mode noise on these inputs. The analog and
digital supplies to the AD7195 are independent and separately
pinned out to minimize coupling between the analog and digital sections of the device. The digital filter provides rejection
of broadband noise on the power supplies, except at integer
multiples of the modulator sampling frequency.
Connect an R-C filter to each analog input pin to provide
rejection at the modulator sampling frequency. The digital filter
also removes noise from the analog and reference inputs provided these noise sources do not saturate the analog modulator.
As a result, the AD7195 is more immune to noise interference
than a conventional high resolution converter. However,
because the resolution of the AD7195 is so high and the noise
levels from the converter so low, care must be taken with regard
to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the ADC must 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 that can be easily separated. A minimum
etch technique is generally best for ground planes because it
gives the best shielding.
Although the AD7195 has separate pins for analog and digital
ground, the AGND and DGND pins are tied together internally
via the substrate. Therefore, the user must not tie these two
pins to separate ground planes unless the ground planes are
connected together near the AD7195.
In systems where AGND and DGND are connected elsewhere
in the system, they should not be connected again at the
AD7195 because this would result in a ground loop. In these
situations, it is recommended that the ground pins of the
AD7195 be tied to the AGND plane.
In any layout, the user must keep in mind the flow of currents
in the system, ensuring that the paths for all currents are as close
as possible to the paths the currents took to reach their destinations. Avoid forcing digital currents to flow through the AGND.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because this
couples noise onto the die and allow the analog ground plane
to run under the AD7195 to prevent noise coupling. The power
supply lines to the AD7195 must use as wide a trace as possible
to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of
glitches on the power supply line. Shield fast switching signals
like clocks with digital ground to prevent radiating noise to
other sections of the board, and never run clock signals near
the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
Run traces on opposite sides of the board at right angles to
each other. This reduces 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 side of the board is dedicated to ground planes,
whereas signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution ADCs.
Decouple all analog supplies with 10 F tantalum in parallel with
0.1 F capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best from these
decoupling components, place them as close as possible to the
device, ideally right up against the device. Decouple all logic chips
with 0.1 F ceramic capacitors to DGND. In systems in which a
common supply voltage is used to drive both the AV
of the AD7195, it is recommended that the system AV
and DVDD

be used. For this supply, place the recommended analog supply
decoupling capacitors between the AV
pin of the AD7195 and
DD
AGND and the recommended digital supply decoupling capacitor between the DV
pin of the AD7195 and DGND.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The AD7195 provides a low-cost, high resolution analog-todigital function. Because the analog-to-digital function is
provided by a Σ-∆ architecture, the part is more immune
to noisy environments, making it ideal for use in sensor
measurement and industrial and process control applications.
WEIGH SCALES
Figure 50 shows the AD7195 being used in a weigh scale application which uses ac excitation. The load cell is arranged in a bridge
network and gives a differential output voltage between its OUT+
and OUT– terminals. Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full
-scale output range from the transducer is 10 mV when the
sensitivity is 2 mV/V. The excitation voltage for the bridge can
be used to directly provide the reference for the ADC because
the reference input range includes the supply voltage.
With ac-excitation, the excitation voltage to the load cell is
changed on each phase. In Phase 1, the T2 and T4 transistors
are turned on using ACX1 and
transistors are turned off. The bridge is forward biased. During
Phase 2, Transistor T1 and Transistor T3 are turned on using
ACX1
while the T1 and T3
+5
ACX2 and
bridge is reversed while the analog input signal and the
reference voltage are also reversed. The AD7195 averages the
conversions from the two phases so that any offsets and thermal
affects are cancelled.
AC excitation is enabled by setting Bit ACX in the configuration
register to 1. When the ACX bit is set to 0, the bridge is dc
excited. When the AD7195 is in power-down mode, the bridge
is disconnected from the excitation voltage, which minimizes
power consumption of the system. Following a reset, the ac
excitation pins are undefined for a few milliseconds. Thus, pullup/pull-down resistors should be used on the pins to prevent
the excitation voltage being shorted to AGND.
For simplicity, external filters are not included in Figure 50.
However, an R-C antialias filter must be included on each
analog input. This is required because the on-chip digital filter
does not provide any rejection around the modulator sampling
frequency or multiples of this frequency.
