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.

the Bipolar Zero Code Error has been adjusted out.
Negative Full Scale Error Match
This is the difference in Negative Full Scale error between any two input channels.
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.

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, 400 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 AD7324.
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 AD7324 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 AD7324 is a fast, 4-Channel, 12-Bit Plus Sign, Bipolar Input, Serial A/D converter. The AD7324 can accept bipolar input ranges that include ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, it can also accept 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 AD7324 has a high speed serial interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.

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 4 Single-Ended inputs, 2 True Differential Inputs, 2 Pseudo Differential Inputs or 3 Pseudo Differential Inputs. Selection can be made by programming the Mode bits, Mode0 and Mode1, in the Control Register.
The serial clock input accesses data from the part but also provides the clock source for each successive approximation ADC. The AD7324 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. However the AD7324 can also work with an external Reference. On power up the external reference operation is the default option. If the internal Reference is the preferred option the user must write to the reference bit in the control register to select the internal Reference operation.
The AD7324 also features power-down options to allow power saving between conversions. The power-down modes are selected by programming the on-chip Control Register, as described in the Modes of Operation section.
The AD7324 requires V

CONVERTER OPERATION The AD7324 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 ADCs 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.

Figure 4. ADC Acquisition Phase(Single Ended)
When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 5), SW2 will open and SW1 will move to position B, causing the comparator to 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 comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The Control Logic generates the ADC output code
set. When operating in Sequence mode the output coding for each channel in the sequence will be the value written to the coding bit during the last write to the Control Register.
Transfer Functi o n s The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size is dependant on the Analog input Range selected.

The AD7324 can accept True bipolar input signals. On power up the Analog inputs will operate as 4 Single-Ended Analog Input Channels. If True Differential or Pseudo Differential is required, a write to the Control register is necessary to change this configuration after power up.

AD7324 REGISTERS
The AD7324 has three-programmable registers, the Control Register, Sequence Register, and the Range Register. These registers are write only registers.
Addressing these Registers
A serial transfer on the AD7324 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during this 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to determine which register is addressed during the serial transfer. The three MSBs consists of the Write bit, Register Select 1 bit and Register Select 2 bit. The Register Select bits are used to determine which of the four on-board registers is selected. The Write bit will determine if the Data on the DIN line following the Register select bits will be 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 bits. If the Write Bit is a 0 the data on the DIN will not be loaded into any register.

CONTROL REGISTER
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 AD7324 configuration for the next conversion. Data should be loaded into the Control Register after the Range Register and the Sequence Register has been initialized, that is if the Sequence register is being used. The bit functions of the Control Register are outlined in Table 8.

The AD7324 can be configured to automatically cycle through a number of selected channels using the on-chip sequence register and the SEQ1 and SEQ2 bits in the control register. Figure 13 shows how to program the AD7324 register in order to operate in sequence mode.
After power up all of the three on-chip registers will contain default values. Each analog input will have a default input range of ± 10V. If different Analog input ranges are required then a write to the range register is required, this is shown in the first serial transfer in Figure 13. This initial serial transfer is only necessary if Input ranges other than the default Ranges are required. After the Analog Input ranges are configured a write to the Sequence register is necessary to select the channels to be included in the sequence. Once the channels for the sequence have been selected, the sequence can be initiated by writing to the control register and setting the SEQ1 =0, SEQ2 = 1. The AD7324 will continue to convert through the selected sequence uninterrupted provided the Sequence Register remains unchanged and SEQ1 = 0 and SEQ2 = 1 in the Control Register.

If during a sequence a change to one of the range registers is required, it is first necessary to stop the sequence by writing to the Control Register and setting SEQ1 = 0 and SEQ2 = 0. Next the write to the range register can be completed to change the required range. Then the previously selected sequence can be initiated again by writing to the Control Register and setting SEQ1 = 0 and SEQ2 = 1, the ADC will then convert on the first channel in the sequence.
The AD7324 can be configured to convert a sequence of consecutive channels, See Figure 14. This sequence will begin by converting on channel 0 and end with a final channel as selected by bits ADD1 to ADD0 in the Control Register. In this configuration there is no need for a write to the Sequence register. To operate the AD7324 in this mode set SEQ1 = 1 and SEQ2 = 0 and select the final channel in the sequence by programming bits ADD1 to ADD0 in the Control Register. Once the control register is configured to operate the AD7324 in this mode the DIN line can be held low or the WRITE bit can be set to 0, the AD7324 will then continue operating in this

The AD7324 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.

MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7324 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 AD7324 is controlled by the Power Management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the Control register as detailed in Ta b l e 1 0 .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 AD7324 is fully powered up at all times. Figure 15 shows the general diagram of operation of the AD7324 in Normal Mode.

Auto Shutdown Mode (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)
Once the Auto Shutdown mode is selected the AD7324 will automatically enter shutdown at the end of each conversion. The AD7324 retains information in the registers during Shutdown. The track-and-hold is in hold during shutdown. On

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 AD7324 is greatly reduced with the part entering shutdown at the end of each conversion. When the control registers 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 AD7324 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 AD7324 to power up much faster, allowing faster throughput rates to be achieved.

The AD7324 will remain fully powered up at the end of the conversion provided both PM1 and PM0 contain 0 in the control Register.

When running the AD7324 with the maximum 20 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 AD7324, with every second conversion result being a valid result. Once Auto Standby mode is selected, the ADC can
