GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7984 is an 18-bit, successive approximation, analog-todigital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power
supply, VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit
sampling ADC and a versatile serial interface port. On the CNV
rising edge, the AD7984 samples the voltage difference between
the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing
in opposite phases between 0 V and V
REF, is applied externally and can be set independent of the
supply voltage, VDD.
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, and 5 V logic, using the separate VIO supply.
06973-001
The AD7984 is available in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

Pin No. Mnemonic Type1 Description
1 REF AI
Reference Input Voltage. The REF range is 2.9 V to 5.1 V. This pin is referred to the GND pin and
should be decoupled closely to the GND pin with a 10 μF capacitor.
2 VDD P Power Supply.
3 IN+ AI Differential Positive Analog Input.
4 IN− AI Differential Negative Analog Input.
5 GND P Power Supply Ground.
6 CNV DI
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its rising edge, it initiates the conversions
and selects the interface mode of the part: chain mode or CS mode. In CS mode, the SDO pin is
enabled when CNV is low. In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high.
7 SDO DO Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
8 SCK DI Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
9 SDI DI
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.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can
enable the serial output signals when low. 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 ).
