GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7788/AD7789 are low power, low noise, analog front
ends for low frequency measurement applications. The AD7789
contains a low noise, 24-bit, ∑-∆ ADC with one differential
input. The AD7788 is a 16-bit version of the AD7789.
The devices operate from an internal clock. Therefore, the
us
er does not have to supply a clock source to the devices.
The output data rate is 16.6 Hz, which gives simultaneous
50 Hz/60 Hz rejection.
The parts operate with a single power supply from 2.5 V to
5.25 V
. When operating from a 3 V supply, the power dissipation for the part is 225 µW maximum. The AD7788/AD7789
are available in a 10-lead MSOP.

These numbers are measured with the load circuit of, and defined as, the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.

SCLK active edge is the falling edge of SCLK.

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 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.

ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The ADC is controlled and configured via a number of on-chip
registers, which are described on the following pages. In the
following descriptions, set implies a Logic 1 state and cleared
implies a Logic 0 state, unless otherwise stated.
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER
(RS1, RS0 = 0, 0)
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 write operation, and to which register this operation takes
place.
CR7 CR6 CR5 CR4 CR3 CR2 CR1 CR0
WEN[0]
Table 7. Communications Register Bit Designations
Bit Location Bit Name Description
CR7
CR6 0 This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
CR5 to CR4 RS1 to RS0
CR3
CR2 CREAD
CR1 to CR0 CH1 to CH0
0[0] RS1[0] RS0[0]
WEN
R/W
Write Enable Bit. A 0 must be written to this bit so that the write to the communications register actually
occurs. If a 1 is the first bit written, the part does not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. It stays at
this bit location until a 0 is written to this bit. Once a 0 is written to the WEN
loaded to the communications register.
Register Address Bits. These address bits are used to selec
during this serial interface communication (see Table 8).
A 0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation is a write to a specified register. A 1 in this position
indicates that the next operation is a read from the designated register.
Continuous Read of the Data Register. When this bit is set t
interface is configured so that the data register can be continuously read, that is, the contents of the data
register are placed on the DOUT/RDY
communications register does not have to be written to for data reads. To enable continuous read mode,
the instruction 001111XX must be written to the communications register. To exit the continuous read
mode, the instruction 001110XX must be written to the communications register while the DOUT/
is low. While in continuous read mode, the ADC monitors activity on the DIN line so that it can receive the
instruction to exit continuous read mode. Additionally, a reset occurs if 32 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.
These bits are used to select the analog input channel. The differential channel can be selected
AIN(+)/AIN
selected, that is, the ADC can measure the voltage on the power supply, which is useful for monitoring
power supply variation. The power supply voltage is divided by 5 and then applied to the modulator for
conversion. The ADC uses a 1.17 V ± 5% on-chip reference as the reference source for the analog-to-digital
conversion. Any change in channel resets the filter and a new conversion is started.
(−) or an internal short AIN(−)/AIN(−) can be selected. Alternatively, the power supply can be
R/W[0]
For read or write operations, once the subsequent read or write
o
peration 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 ADC is in this default state waiting for a write
operation to the communications register. In situations where the
interface sequence is lost, a write operation of at least 32 serial
clock cycles with DIN high returns the ADC to this default state
by resetting the entire part.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7788/AD7789 are low power ADCs that incorporate a
Σ- modulator and on-chip digital filtering intended for the
measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals,
such as those in pressure transducers, weigh scales, and temperature measurement applications. The part has one unbuffered
differential input. The device requires an external reference
voltage between 0.1 V and V
. Figure 10 shows the basic
DD
connections required to operate the part.

rejection is the major function of the digital filter. Simultaneous
50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection is optimized as notches are placed at
both 50 Hz and 60 Hz with this update rate (see Figure 6).
NOISE PERFORMANCE
Typically, the devices have an rms noise of 1.5 µV rms that
corresponds to a peak-to-peak resolution of 16 bits for the
AD7788 and 19 bits (equivalent to an effective resolution of
21.5 bits) for the AD7789. These numbers are for the bipolar
input range with a reference of 2.5 V. The noise was measured
with a differential input voltage of 0 V. The peak-to-peak
resolution figures represent the resolution for which there is no
code flicker within a six-sigma limit. 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. The second is quantization noise, added when
the analog input is converted into the digital domain.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
As previously outlined, the AD7788/AD7789 programmable
functions are controlled using a set of on-chip registers. Data is
written to these registers via the serial interface and read access
to the on-chip registers is also provided by this interface. All
communications with the devices must start with a write to the
communications register. After power-on or reset, the devices
expect a write to the communications register. The data written
to this register determines whether the next operation is a read
operation 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 devices 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 AD7788/AD7789 serial interface consists of four signals:

The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s on the
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7788/AD7789 for
at least 32 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 a glitch in the
system. Reset returns the interface to the state in which it is
expecting a write to the communications register. This operation resets the contents of all registers to their power-on values.
The AD7788/AD7789 can be configured to continuously

through Figure 13.
Single Conversion Mode
In single-conversion mode, the AD7788/AD7789 are placed in
power-down mode between conversions. When a single conversion is initiated by setting MD1 to 1 and MD0 to 0 in the mode
register, the AD7788/AD7789 power up, perform a single conversion, and then return to power-down mode. The devices
require 1 ms to power up and settle. The AD7788/AD7789

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL
The AD7788/AD7789 have one differential analog input
channel that is connected to the modulator, thus, the input is
unbuffered. Note that this unbuffered input path provides a
dynamic load to the driving source. Therefore,
resistor/capacitor combinations on the input pins can cause dc
gain errors, depending on the output impedance of the source
that is driving the ADC input.

BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
The analog input to the devices can accept either unipolar or
bipolar input voltage ranges. A bipolar input range does not
imply that the parts can tolerate large negative voltages with
respect to system GND. Unipolar and bipolar signals on the
AIN(+) input are referenced to the voltage on the AIN(−) input.
For example, if AIN(−) is 2.5 V and the ADC is configured for
unipolar mode, the input voltage range on the AIN(+) pin is
2.5 V to 5 V. If the ADC is configured for bipolar mode, the
analog input range on the AIN(+) input is 0 V to 5 V. The
bipolar/unipolar option is chosen by programming the U/
in the mode 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 000...000, 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
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output

de 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

REFERENCE INPUT
The AD7788/AD7789 have a fully differential input capability
for the channel. The common-mode range for these differential
inputs is from GND to V
and, therefore, excessive R-C source impedances introduce gain
errors. The reference voltage REFIN [REFIN(+) − REFIN(−)] is
2.5 V nominal, but the AD7788/AD7789 are functional with
reference voltages from 0.1 V to V
excitation (voltage or current) for the transducer on the analog
input also drives the reference voltage for the parts, the effect of
the low frequency noise in the excitation source is removed
because the application is ratiometric. If the AD7788/AD7789
are used in a nonratiometric application, a low noise reference
should be used.
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7788/
AD7789 in
low noise, low power references. If the analog circuitry uses a
2.5 V power supply, the reference voltage source requires some
headroom. In this case, a 2.048 V reference such as the ADR380
or ADR390 can be used. Again, these are low power, low noise
references. Also note that the reference inputs provide a high
impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each
reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on
these inputs can cause dc gain errors, depending on the output

Reference voltage sources like those recommended in the previous section (for example, ADR391) typically have low output
impedances and are, therefore, tolerant to having decoupling
capacitors on REFIN(+) without introducing gain errors in the
system. Deriving the reference input voltage across an external
resistor means that the reference input sees a significant external source impedance. External decoupling on the REFIN pins
is not recommended in this type of circuit configuration.

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Because the analog inputs and reference inputs of the ADC are
differential, most of the voltages in the analog modulator are
common-mode voltages. The excellent common-mode
rejection of the part removes common-mode noise on these
inputs. The digital filter provides rejection of broadband noise
on the power supply, except at integer multiples of the
modulator sampling frequency. The digital filter also removes
noise from the analog and reference inputs, provided that these
noise sources do not saturate the analog modulator. As a result,
the AD7788/AD7789 are more immune to noise interference
than conventional high resolution converters. However, because
the resolution of the AD7788/AD7789 is so high, and the noise
levels from the AD7788/AD7789 are so low, care must be taken
with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7788/AD7789
s
hould be designed such that the analog and digital sections
are separated and confined to certain areas of the board. A
minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes
because it gives the best shielding.
It is recommended that the AD7788/AD7789 GND
to the AGND plane of the system. In any layout, it is important
that the user consider the flow of currents in the system,
ensuring that the return 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 sections of the layout.
The AD7788/AD7789 ground plane should be allowed to run
der the devices to prevent noise coupling. The power supply
un
lines to the AD7788/AD7789 should use as wide a trace as
possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects
of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, such
as 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 reduces the effects
of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by
far the best, but it is not always possible with a double-sided
board. In this technique, the component side of the board is
dedicated to ground planes, with signals placed on the solder
side.
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution
AD
parallel with 0.1 µF capacitors to GND. To achieve the best
from these decoupling components, they should 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
ceramic capacitors to DGND.
