The AD7691 is an 18-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.3 V and 5 V. It
contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC with no
missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile
serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, it samples the
voltage difference between the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages
on these pins swing in opposite phases between 0 V and REF.
The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set
up to the supply voltage.
The part’s power scales linearly with throughput.
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single
3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible
with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate VIO supply.
The AD7691 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
θJA is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a device
soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages.
Reference Input Voltage. The REF range is from 0.5 V to VDD. It is referred to the GND pin.
This pin should be decoupled closely to the pin with a 10 µF capacitor.

Differential Positive Analog Input. Referenced to IN−. The input range for IN+ is between 0 V and V

Differential Negative Analog Input. Referenced to IN+. The input range for IN− is between 0 V and V
centered about V
/2 and must be driven 180° out of phase with IN+.
REF
Power Supply Ground.
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, it initiates the conversions and
selects the interface mode of the part, either chain or CS
low. In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high.
7 SDO DO
8 SCK DI
9 SDI DI
Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows:
Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data input to
daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data level on
SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 18 SCK cycles.
mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable
CS
the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the busy
indicator feature is enabled.
10 VIO P
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface
(1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V ).
EPAD

recommended that the pad be soldered to the ground plane.
