GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7709 is a complete analog front end for low frequency
measurement applications. It contains a 16-bit ⌺-⌬ ADC, selectable
reference inputs, three switchable matched excitation current
sources, low-side power switches and a digital I/O port. The
16-bit channel with PGA accepts fully differential, unipolar,
and

bipolar input signal ranges from 1.024 ⫻ REFIN/128 to

1.024 ⫻ REFIN. It can be configured as two fully differential
input channels or four pseudo-differential input channels. Signals
can be converted directly from a transducer without the need for
signal conditioning.

The device operates from a 32.768 kHz crystal with an on-chip
PLL generating the required internal operating frequency. The
output data rate from the part is software programmable. The
p-p

resolution from the part varies with the programmed gain

and output data rate.

The part operates from a single 3 V or 5 V supply. When
operating from 3 V supplies, the power dissipation for the part
is 3.75 mW. The AD7709 is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP package.

NOTES

1

Temperature Range –40°C to +85°C.

2

Guaranteed by design and/or characterization data on production release.

3

Full-scale error applies to both positive and negative full scale.

4

Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection is achieved using 19.79 Hz update rate. Normal mode rejection in this case is 60 dB min.

5

When the part is placed in power-down mode for a single conversion/second, at an update rate of 19.79 Hz, the current consumption is higher compared to when the
part is placed in standby mode as the crystal oscillator takes approximately 100 ms to begin clocking. The device will therefore use full current for the conversion
time and the 100 ms period required for the oscillator to begin clocking. However, if the conversion rate is lower, the current consumption will be reduced so that it
is worthwhile to use the power-down rather than the standby mode.

NOTES

1

Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.

2

See Figures 2 and 3.

3

SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK.

4

These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the V

OL

or VOH limits.

5

This specification only comes into play if CS goes low while SCLK is low. It is required primarily for interfacing to DSP machines.

6

These 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.

7

RDY returns high after a read of the ADC. The same data can be read again, if required, while RDY 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 AD7709 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.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

Pin No. Mnemonic Function

1 IOUT1 Output for Internal Excitation Current Source. Either current source IEXC1, IEXC2, IEXC3 or a combina-

tion of the current sources can be switched to this output.

2 IOUT2 Output for Internal Excitation Current Source. Either current source IEXC1, IEXC2, IEXC3 or a combina-

tion of the current sources can be switched to this output.

3 REFIN1(+) Positive Reference Input. REFIN1(+) can lie anywhere between V

DD

and GND + 1 V. The nominal refer-

ence

voltage (REFIN1(+) – REFIN1(–)) is 2.5 V, but the part is functional with a reference range from 1 V to VDD.
4 REFIN1(–) Negative Reference Input. This reference input can lie anywhere between GND and VDD – 1 V.
5 AIN1 Analog Input. Programmable gain input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input when used with

AINCOM or as the positive input of a fully-differential input pair when used with AIN2.

6 AIN2 Analog Input. Programmable gain input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input when used with

AINCOM or as the negative input of a fully-differential input pair when used with AIN1.

7 AIN3/P3 Analog Input/Digital Port Bit. Programmable gain input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input

when used with AINCOM or as the positive input of a fully-differential input pair when used with AIN4.
This pin can also be programmed as a general purpose digital input bit.

8 AIN4/P4 Analog Input/Digital Port Bit. Programmable gain input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input

when used with AINCOM or as the negative input of a fully-differential input pair when used with AIN3.

This pin can also be programmed as a general purpose digital input bit.
9 AINCOM All analog inputs are referenced to this input when configured in pseudo-differential input mode.
10 REFIN2(+) Positive Reference Input. REFIN2(+) can lie anywhere between V

DD

and GND + 1 V. The nominal reference

voltage (REFIN2(+) – REFIN2(–)) is 2.5 V, but the part is functional with a reference range from 1 V to V

DD

.
11 REFIN2(–) Negative Reference Input. This reference input can lie anywhere between GND and VDD – 1 V.
12 P2/SW2 Dual-Purpose Pin. It can act as a general purpose output (P2) bit or as a low-side power switch (SW2) to

PWRGND.
13 PWRGND Ground Point for the Low-Side Power Switches SW2 and SW1. PWRGND must be tied to GND.
14 P1/SW1 Dual-Purpose Pin. It can act as a general-purpose output (P1) bit or as a low-side power switch (SW1) to

PWRGND.
15 RESET

Digital Input Used to Reset the ADC to Its Power-On-Reset Status. This pin has a weak pull-up internally to VDD.
16 SCLK Serial Clock Input for Data Transfers to and from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitt triggered input making

the interface suitable for opto-isolated applications. The serial clock can be continuous with all data transmitted

in a continuous train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being

transmitted to or from the AD7709 in smaller batches of data. A weak pull-up to V

DD

is provided on the

SCLK input.
17 CS Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic input used to select the AD7709. CS can be used to select the

AD7709 in systems with more than one device on the serial bus or as a frame synchronization signal in com-

municating with the device. CS can be hardwired low allowing the AD7709 to operate in 3-wire mode with

SCLK, DIN and DOUT used to interface with the device. A weak pull-up to VDD is provided on the CS input.
18 RDY RDY is a Logic Low Status Output from the AD7709. RDY is low if the ADC has valid data in its data

register. This output returns high on completion of a read operation from the data register. If data is not

read, RDY will return high prior to the next update indicating to the user that a read operation should

not be initiated.
19 DOUT Serial Data Output Accessing the Output Shift Register of the AD7709. The output shift register can contain

data from any of the on-chip data or control registers.
20 DIN Serial Data Input Accessing the Input Shift Register on the AD7709. Data in this shift register is transferred to

the control registers within the ADC, the selection bits of the Communications register selecting which

control register. A weak pull-up to V

DD

is provided on the DIN input.
21 GND Ground Reference Point for the AD7709.
22 V

DD

Supply Voltage, 3 V or 5 V Nominal.
23 XTAL2 Output from the 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator Inverter.
24 XTAL1 Input to the 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator Inverter.
