Description
Serial Clock. Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK used for accessing the data
from the AD7321. This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.
Serial Data Output. The conversion output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream.
The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input and 16 SCLKs are required to
access the data. The data stream consists of two leading zeros, one channel identification bit, a
Sign bit followed by 12 bits of conversion data. The data is provided MSB first. See the Serial
interface section.
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating
conversions on the AD7321 and frames the serial data transfer.
Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into
the register on the falling edge of SCLK. See Register section.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7321. All analog input
signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage.
Reference Input/ Reference Output pin. When enabled the on-chip reference is available on
this pin for use external to the AD7321. Alternativley, the internal reference can be disabled
and an external reference applied to this input. When using the AD7321 with an external
reference, the internal reference must be disabled via the control register. The nominal
reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at the pin. The default on power up is for external
Reference operation. A 470 nF decoupling capacitor should be placed on the Reference pin.
Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC core on the
AD7321. This supply should be decoupled to AGND.
Negative power supply voltage. This is the negavtive supply voltage for the Analog Input
section.
Logic Power Supply input. The voltage applied to this pin determines the operating voltge of
the serial inteface.
Analog input 0 through Analog Input 1. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip
track-and-hold. The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the
channel address bit ADD0, in the control register. The inputs can be configured as 2 SingleEnded Inputs, 1 True Differential Input pair, 1 Pseudo Differential inputs. The configuration of
the Analog inputs is selected by programming the Mode bits, Mode1 and Mode0, in the
Control Register. The input range on each input channel is controlled by programming the
range register. Input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V and 0 to 10V can be selected on each analog
input channel. See AD7321 Registers section.

TERMINOLOGY
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB
below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB
above the last code transition.
Offset Code Error
This applies to Straight Binary output coding. It is the deviation
of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to (00 . . . 001) from the
ideal, i.e., AGND + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in Offset Error between any two input
channels.
Gain Error
This applies to Straight Binary output coding. It is the deviation
of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to (111 . . . 111) from the
ideal (i.e., 4 x VRef – 1 LSB, 2 x V
the offset error has been adjusted out.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in Gain Error between any two input
channels.
Bipolar Zero Code Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and a
bipolar Analog Input. It is the deviation of the midscale
transition (all 1s to all 0s) from the ideal V
- 1 LSB.
Bipolar Zero Code Error Match
This refers to the difference in Bipolar Zero Code Error
between any two input channels.
Positive Full Scale Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and
any of the bipolar Analog Input ranges. It is the deviation of the
last code transition (011…110) to (011…111) from the ideal (

two input channels.

Negative Full Scale Error Match
This is the difference in Negative Full Scale error between any

Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode after the
fifteenth SCLK falling edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is
the time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier
to reach its final value, within ±1/2 LSB, after the end of
conversion.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of
the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all non-fundamental
signals up to half the sampling frequency (f
The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in
the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the
quantization noise. The theoretical signal to (noise + distortion)
ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given
by:
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
Thus for a 13-bit converter, this is 80.02 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7321 it is defined as:
dBTHD
where V
V
is the rms amplitude of the fundamental and V2, V3,
1
, V5 and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the
4

=
sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to fS/2 and excluding dc) to the rms value of the
fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is
determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it will
be a noise peak.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of
crosstalk between any two channels. It is measured by applying
a full-scale, TBD kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input
channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated in
the selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. The figure given is
the worst-case across all eight channels for the AD7321.

Preliminary Technical Data AD7321
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with non-linearities will create distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation distortion terms are those
for which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For example, the
second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the
third order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and (fa
– 2fb).
The AD7321 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves while the third order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second and third order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is
as per the THD specification where it is the ratio of the rms
sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude
of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in dBs.
PSR (Power Supply Rejection)
Variations in power supply will affect the full-scale transition
but not the converter’s linearity. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change
in power supply voltage from the nominal value. See Typical
Performance Curves.
THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7321 is a fast, 2-Channel, 12-bit plus Sign, Bipolar Input,
Serial A/D converter. The AD7321 can accept bipolar input
ranges that include ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V. It can also accept a 0 to
10V unipolar input range. A different analog input range can be
programmed on each analog input Channel via the on-chip
Range register. The AD7321 has a high speed serial interface
that can operate at throughput rates up to 500 ksps.
The AD7321 requires V

supplies for a chosen Analog input range the throughput rate
should be decreased from the maximum throughput range. See
typical performance curves.
The Analog Inputs can be configured as either 2 Single-Ended
inputs, 1 True Differential Inputs, or 1 Pseudo Differential
Input. Selection can be made by programming the Mode bits,
Mode0 and Mode1, in the on-chip Control Register.
The serial clock input accesses data from the part but also
provides the clock source for each successive approximation
ADC. The AD7321 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. If an
External Reference is the preferred option the user must write
to the reference bit in the control register to disable the internal
Reference.
The AD7321 also features power-down options to allow power
saving between conversions. The power-down modes are
selected by programming the power management bits in the onchip Control Register, as described in the Modes of Operation
section.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7321 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter, based around two capacitive DACs. Figure 4 and
Figure 5 show simplified schematics of the ADCs in Single
Ended Mode during the acquisition and conversion phase,
respectively. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show simplified schematics
of the ADC in Differential Mode during acquisition and
conversion phase, respectively. The ADC is comprised of
control logic, a SAR, and a capacitive DAC. In Figure 4 (the
acquisition phase), SW2 is closed and SW1 is in position A, the
comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling
capacitor array acquires the signal on the input.

When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 5), SW2 will open

become unbalanced. The control logic and the charge
redistribution DAC is used to add and subtract fixed amounts
of charge from the sampling capacitor arrays to bring the
comparator back into a balanced condition. When the

The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB

on the Analog input Range selected.

Binary coding is selected is shown in Figure 9.
Figure 6 shows the differential configuration during the

impedances of the source driving the Vin+ and Vin- pins must

The output coding is controlled by the Coding bit in the
Control Register. To change the output coding to Straight
Binary Coding the Coding bit in the Control Register must be

The Track-and-Hold on the Analog Input of the AD7321 allows
the ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of full scale
amplitude to 13-Bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the
Track-and-Hold is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC ,
the AD7321 can handle frequencies up to 7 MHz.

AD7321 REGISTERS
The AD7321 has two-programmable registers, the Control Register and the Range Register. These registers are write only registers.
Addressing these Registers
A serial transfer on the AD7321 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during each 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to
determine which register is addressed. The three MSBs consists of the Write bit, ZERO bit and a Register Select bit. The Register Select bit
is used to determine which of the Two on-board registers is selected. The Write bit will determine if the Data on the DIN line following
the Register select bit is loaded into the addressed register or not. If the Write bit is 1 the bits will be loaded into the register addressed by
the Register Select bit. If the Write Bit is a 0 the data on the DIN will not be loaded into any register and both registers will remain
unchanged.

The Control Register is used to select the Analog Input configuration, Reference, Coding, Power mode etc. The Control Register is a write
only 12-bit register. Data loaded on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7321 configuration for the next conversion. Data should be
loaded into the Control Register after the Range Register has been initialized. The bit functions of the Control Register are outlined in

RANGE REGISTER
The Range register to used to select one Analog input Range per Analog input channel. It is a 4-Bit write only Register, with two dedicated
Range bits for each of the two Analog Input Channels. There are four Analog input Ranges to choose from, ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 0 to 10V. A
write to the Range Register is selected by setting the Write bit to 1 and the Register Select bit to 1. Once the initial write to the Range
Register occurs the AD7321 automatically configures the two Analog inputs to the appropriate range, as indicated by the Range register,
each time any one of these analog input channels is selected. The ±10V input Range is selected by default on each analog input channel.

REFERENCE
The AD7321 can operate with either the internal 2.5V on-chip
reference or an externally applied reference. The internal
reference is selected by setting the REF bit in the Control
Register to 1. On power up the REF bit will be 0, selecting the
external Reference for the AD7321 conversion. For external

internal reference the REFIN/REFOUT pin should be
decoupled to AGND using a 470 nF cap. It is recommended

where in the system.
The AD7321 is specified for a 2.5V to 3V reference range. When
a 3V reference is selected the ranges will be, ±12V, ±6V, ±3V

On power up if the internal reference operation is required for

MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7321 has a number of different modes of operation.
These modes are designed to provide flexible power
management options. These options can be chosen to optimize
the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for the differing
application requirements. The mode of operation of the
AD7321 is controlled by the Power Management bits, PM1 and
PM0, in the Control register as detailed in
Table 11.The default mode is Normal Mode, where all internal
circuitry is fully powered up.
Normal Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 0)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate
performance, the AD7321 is fully powered up at all times.
Figure 13 shows the general diagram of operation of the
AD7321 in Normal Mode.

track and hold will enter hold mode as described in the Serial
Interface Section. The Data on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK

section.

Auto Shutdown Mode (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)
Once the Auto Shutdown mode is selected the AD7321 will
automatically enter shutdown at the end of each conversion.
The AD7321 retains information in the registers during
Shutdown. The track-and-hold is in hold during shutdown. On
CS
the falling
edge, the track-and-hold that was in hold during
shutdown will return to track.
The power-up from Auto Shutdown is TBD µs
In this mode the power consumption of the AD7321 is greatly
reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each
conversion. When the control register is programmed to move
into Auto Shutdown mode, it does so at the end of the
conversion.
Auto Standby Mode (PM1 = 0, PM0 =1)
In Auto Standby mode portions of the AD7321 are powered
down but the on-chip reference remains powered up. The
reference bit in the Control register should be 0 to ensure the
on-chip reference is enabled. This mode is similar to Auto
Shutdown but allows the AD7321 to power up much faster,
allowing faster throughput rates to be achieved.
Figure 13. Normal Mode
The AD7321 will remain fully powered up at the end of the
conversion provided both PM1 and PM0 contain 0 in the
control Register.
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the
conversion and access the conversion result. At the end of the

may idle high until the next conversion or may

Full Shutdown Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 1)
In this mode all internal circuitry on the AD7321 is powered
down. The part retains information in the Registers during Full
Shut down. The AD7321 remains in Full shutdown mode until
the power managements bits in the Control Register, PM1 and
PM0, are changed.

has elapsed before attempting a valid conversion. When running
the AD7321 with the maximum 10 Mhz SCLK, one dummy
conversion of 16 x SCLKs is sufficient to power up the ADC.
This dummy conversion effectively halves the throughput rate
of the AD7321, with every second conversion result being a
valid result. Once Auto Standby mode is selected, the ADC can
