GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7417 and AD7418 are 10-bit, 4- and single-channel
A/D converters with an on-chip temperature sensor that can
operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply. The devices
contain a 15 µs successive-approximation converter, a 5-channel
multiplexer, a temperature sensor, a clock oscillator, a track/
hold, and a reference (2.5 V). The AD7416 is a temperature­monitoring-only device in an 8-lead package.

The temperature sensor on the parts can be accessed via multi­plexer Channel 0. When Channel 0 is selected and a conversion
is initiated, the resulting ADC code at the end of the conversion
gives a measurement of the ambient temperature (±1°C @ 25°C).
On-chip registers can be programmed with high and low tem­perature limits, and an open drain Over-Temperature Indicator
(OTI) output is provided, which becomes active when a pro­grammed limit is exceeded.

A configuration register allows programming of the sense of the
OTI output (active high or active low) and its operating mode
(comparator or interrupt). A programmable fault queue counter
allows the number of out of limit measurements that must occur
before triggering the OTI output to be set, to prevent spurious
triggering of the OTI output in noisy environments.

REV. D

AD7416/AD7417/AD7418

(continued from page 1)

An I2C-compatible serial interface allows the AD7416/AD7417/
AD7418 registers to be written to and read back. The 3 LSBs
of the AD7416/AD7417’s serial bus address can be selected,
which allows up to eight AD7416/AD7417s to be connected to
a single bus.

The AD7417 is available in a narrow body 0.15'' 16-lead small
outline IC (SOIC) and in a 16-lead, thin shrink small outline
package (TSSOP). The AD7416 and AD7418 are available in
8-lead SOIC and µSOIC packages.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. The AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 have an on-chip tempera­ture sensor that allows an accurate measurement of the am­bient temperature (±1°C @ 25°C, ± 2°C over temperature)
to be made. The measurable temperature range is –55°C to
+125°C. An over-temperature indicator is implemented by
carrying out a digital comparison of the ADC code for
Channel 0 (temperature sensor) with the contents of the
on-chip over-temperature register.

2. The AD7417 offers a space saving 10-bit A/D solution with
four external voltage input channels, an on-chip temperature
sensor, an on-chip reference and clock oscillator.

3. The automatic power-down feature enables the AD7416/
AD7417/AD7418 to achieve superior power performance.
At slower throughput rates the part can be programmed to
operate in a low power shutdown mode allowing further
savings in power consumption.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy

Relative accuracy or endpoint nonlinearity is the maximum
deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of
the ADC transfer function.

Differential Nonlinearity

This is the difference between the measured and the ideal
1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.

Offset Error

This is the deviation of the first code transition (0000 . . . 000)
to (0000 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., GND + 1 LSB.

Offset Error Match

This is the difference in Offset Error between any two channels.

Gain Error

This is the deviation of the last code transition (1111 . . . 110)
to (1111 . . . 111) from the ideal, i.e., VREF – 1 LSB, after the
offset error has been adjusted out.

Gain Error Match

This is the difference in gain error between any two channels.

Track/Hold Acquisition Time

Track/hold acquisition time is the time required for the output
of the track/hold amplifier to reach its final value, within ±1/2
LSB, after the end of conversion (the point at which the track/
hold returns to track mode). It also applies to situations where

a change in the selected input channel takes place or where
there is a step input change on the input voltage applied to the
selected A

input of the AD7417 or AD7418. It means that

IN

the user must wait for the duration of the track/hold acquisi­tion time after the end of conversion or after a channel change/
step input change to A

before starting another conversion,

IN

to ensure that the part operates to specification.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION

The AD7417 and AD7418 are single- and four-channel, 15 µs
conversion time, 10-bit A/D converters with on-chip tempera­ture sensor, reference and serial interface logic functions on a
single chip. The AD7416 has no analog input channel and is
intended for temperature measurement only. The A/D converter
section consists of a conventional successive-approximation
converter based around a capacitor DAC. The AD7416, AD7417,
and AD7418 are capable of running on a 2.7 V to 5.5 V power
supply and the AD7417 and AD7418 accept an analog input
range of 0 V to +VREF. The on-chip temperature sensor allows
an accurate measurement of the ambient device temperature to
be made. The working measurement range of the temperature
sensor is –55°C to +125°C. The parts require a 2.5 V reference
which can be provided from the part’s own internal reference or
from an external reference source.

CONVERTER DETAILS

Conversion is initiated on the AD7417/AD7418 by pulsing the
CONVST input. The conversion clock for the part is internally
generated so no external clock is required except when reading
from and writing to the serial port. The on-chip track/hold goes
from track to hold mode and the conversion sequence is started
on the falling edge of the CONVST signal. A conversion is also
initiated in the automatic conversion mode every time a read or
write operation to the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 takes place. In
this case, the internal clock oscillator (which runs the automatic
conversion sequence) is restarted at the end of the read or write
operation. The track/hold goes into hold approximately 3 µs
after the read or write operation is complete and a conversion is
then initiated. The result of the conversion is available either
15 µs or 30 µs later, depending on whether an analog input
channel or the temperature sensor is selected. The track/hold
acquisition time of the AD7417/AD7418 is 400 ns.

A temperature measurement is made by selecting the Channel 0
of the on-chip MUX and carrying out a conversion on this
channel. A conversion on Channel 0 takes 30 µs to complete.
Temperature measurement is explained in the Temperature
Measurement section of this data sheet.

The on-chip reference is not available to the user, but REF

IN

can be overdriven by an external reference source (2.5 V only).
The effect of reference tolerances on temperature measurements
is discussed in the Reference section of the data sheet.

All unused analog inputs should be tied to a voltage within the
nominal analog input range to avoid noise pickup. For mini­mum power consumption, the unused analog inputs should be
tied to GND.

ANALOG INPUTS

Figure 3 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input struc­ture of the AD7417 and AD7418. The two diodes, D1 and D2,
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be
taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the
supply rails by more than 200 mV. This will cause these diodes
to become forward-biased and start conducting current into the
substrate. The maximum current these diodes can conduct
without causing irreversible damage to the part, is 20 mA. The
capacitor C2 in Figure 3 is typically about 4 pF and can prima­rily be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of a multi­plexer and a switch. This resistor is typically about 1

kΩ

capacitor C1 is the ADC sampling capacitor and has a capaci­tance of 3 pF.

ADDRESS POINTER REGISTER

The Address Pointer Register is an 8-bit register which stores an
address that points to one of the six data registers. The first data
byte of every serial write operation to the AD7416/AD7417/
AD7418 is the address of one of the data registers, which is
stored in the Address Pointer Register, and selects the data
register to which subsequent data bytes are written. Only the
three LSBs of this register are used to select a data register.

A second configuration register is included in the AD7417/

register with bits D5 to D0 being left at 0. Bit D7 determines
whether the AD7417/AD7418 should be operated in its default
mode (D7 = 0), performing conversions every 355 µs or in
CONVST pin mode (D7 = 1), where conversions will start only
when the CONVST pin is used. Bit 6 contains the Test 1 bit.

SERIAL BUS INTERFACE

Control of the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 is carried out via the

2

C-compatible serial bus. The AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 is

I
connected to this bus as a slave device, under the control of a
master device, e.g., the processor.

SERIAL BUS ADDRESS

As with all I2C-compatible devices, the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418
have a 7-bit serial address. The four MSBs of this address for
the AD7416 are set to 1001, the AD7417 are 0101, while the
three LSBs can be set by the user by connecting the A2 to A0
pins to either +V

or GND. By giving them different addresses,

S

up to eight AD7416/AD7417s can be connected to a single
serial bus, or the addresses can be set to avoid conflicts with
other devices on the bus. The four MSBs of this address for the
AD7418 are 0101, while the three LSBs are all set to zero.

If a serial communication occurs during a conversion operation,
the conversion will stop and will restart after the communication.

The serial bus protocol operates as follows:

1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a START
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line SDA while the serial clock line SCL remains high.
This indicates that an address/data stream will follow. All
slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the
START condition, and shift in the next eight bits, consisting
of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus a R/W bit, which deter­mines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether data
will be written to or read from the slave device.

The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the data line low during the low
period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the Acknowl­edge Bit. All other devices on the bus now remain idle while
the selected device waits for data to be read from or written
to it. If the R/W bit is a 0 then the master will write to the
slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1 the master will read from
the slave device.

2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data followed by an Acknowledge Bit
from the receiver of data. Transitions on the data line must
occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain
stable during the high period, as a low-to-high transition
when the clock is high may be interpreted as a STOP signal.

3. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop condi­tions are established. In WRITE mode, the master will pull
the data line high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a
STOP condition. In READ mode, the master device will pull
the data line high during the low period before the 9th clock
pulse. This is known as No Acknowledge. The master will
then take the data line low during the low period before the
10th clock pulse, then high during the 10th clock pulse to
assert a STOP condition.

Any number of bytes of data may be transferred over the serial
bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read and write
in one operation, because the type of operation is determined at
the beginning and cannot subsequently be changed without
starting a new operation.

WRITING TO THE AD7416/AD7417/AD7418

Depending on the register being written to, there are three dif­ferent writes for the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418.

1. Writing to the Address Pointer Register for a subsequent read.

In order to read data from a particular register, the Address
Pointer Register must contain the address of that register. If
it does not, the correct address must be written to the Address
Pointer Register by performing a single-byte write operation,
as shown in Figure 7. The write operation consists of the
serial bus address followed by the address pointer byte. No
data is written to any of the data registers.

Figure 12. Operation of OTI Output (Shown Active Low)

The open-drain configuration of OTI allows the OTI outputs of
several AD7416/AD7417/AD7418s to be wire-ANDed together
when in active low mode.

The OTI output is used to indicate that an out-of-limit tem­perature excursion has occurred. OTI is an open-drain output
that can be programmed to be active low by setting Bit D2 of
the Configuration Register to 0, or active high by setting Bit D2
of the Configuration Register to 1.

In the Interrupt mode (D1 = 1), the OTI output becomes active
when the temperature exceeds T

HYST

.

OTI is also reset when the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 is placed
in shutdown mode, by setting bit D0 of the Configuration Regis­ter to 1.

The OTI output requires an external pull-up resistor. This can
be connected to a voltage different from +V

(for example, to

S

allow interfacing between 5 V and 3.3 V systems) provided that
the maximum voltage rating of the OTI output is not exceeded.

The value of the pull-up resistor depends on the application, but
should be as large as possible to avoid excessive sink currents at
the OTI output, which can heat the chip and affect the tempera­ture reading. The maximum value of pull-up resistor that will meet
the output high current specification of the OTI output is 30 kΩ, but
higher values may be used if a lower output current is required.
For most applications a value of 10 kΩ will prove suitable.

FAULT QUEUE

To avoid false triggering of the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 in
noisy environments, a fault queue counter is provided, which
can be programmed by Bits D3 and D4 of the Configuration
Register (see Table V) to count 1, 2, 4, or 6 fault events before
OTI becomes active. In order to trigger OTI, the faults must
occur consecutively. For example, if the fault queue is set to 4,
then four consecutive temperature measurements greater than

(or less than T

) must occur. Any reading that breaks

These default settings allow the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 to

serial bus.

OPERATING MODES

The AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 has two possible modes of
operation depending on the value of D0 in the Configuration
Register.

Mode 1

Normal operation of the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 occurs when
D0 = 0. In this active mode, a conversion takes place every
400 µs. Once the conversion has taken place, the part partially
powers down, consuming typically 350 µA of current until the
next conversion occurs.

Two situations can arise in this mode on the request of a
temperature read. If a read occurs during a conversion, the
conversion

aborts and a new one starts on the Stop/Repeat start
condition. The temperature value that is read is that of the
previous completed conversion. The next conversion will typically
occur 400 µs after the new conversion has begun.

If a read is called between conversions, a conversion is initiated
on the stop/repeat start condition. After this conversion, the part
returns to performing a conversion every 400 µs.

With a V

= 3 V, for each 400 µs cycle, the AD7416 spends

DD

40 µs (or 10% of the time) in conversion mode. It spends 360 µs
(or 90% of time) in partial power-down mode. Thus the average
power dissipated by the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 is:

3 mW × 0.1 + 1 mW × 0.9 = 1.2 mW

Mode 2

For applications where temperature measurements are required
at a slower rate e.g., every second, power consumption of the part
can be reduced by writing to the part to go to a full power-down
between reads. The current consumption in full power-down is
typically 0.2 µA and full power-down is initiated when D0 = 1
in the configuration register. When a measurement is required, a
write operation can be performed to power-up the part. The
part then performs a conversion and is returned to power-down.
The temperature value can be read in the full power-down
because the I

2

C bus is continuously active.

The power dissipation in this mode depends on the rate at
which reads take place. Taking the requirements for a tempera­ture measurement every 100 ms as an example, the optimum
power dissipation is achieved by placing the part in full power­down, waking it up every 100 ms, letting it operate for 400 µs
and putting it into full power-down again. In this case the aver­age power consumption is calculated as follows. The part spends
40 µs (or 0.04% of time) converting with 3 mW dissipation, and
a 99.96 ms (99.96% of time) in full shutdown with 60 nW dissi­pation. Thus the average power dissipation is:

AD7416/AD7417/AD7418

The fastest throughput rate at which the AD7416/AD7417/
AD7418 can be operated is 2.5 kHz (i.e., a read every 400 µs
conversion period). Since T

270 µs. If temperature reads are called too often, reads will
overlap with conversions, aborting them continuously, which
results in invalid readings.

CONVERT START MODE

The AD7417/AD7418 has an extra mode, set by writing to the
MSB of the Config2 Register.

CONVST Pin Mode

By setting the CONVST mode bit to 1, conversions are initiated
only by using the CONVST pin. In this method of operation,
CONVST is normally low.

The rising edge of CONVST starts the power-up time. This
power-up time is 4 µs. If the CONVST high time is longer
than 4 µs, a conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CONVST
and the track/hold also enters its hold mode at this time. If the
CONVST high time is less than 4 µs, an internal timer, initi-
ated by the rising edge of CONVST holds off the track/hold and
the initiation of conversion until timer times out (4 µs after the
rising edge of CONVST, which corresponds with the power-up
time). CONVST input remains low at the end of conversion, thus
causing the part to enter its power-down mode. In this method
of operation, CONVST is normally low with a high-going pulse
controlling the power-up and conversion starts.

The CONVST pin should not be pulsed when reading from or
writing to the port.

Figure 16 shows the recommended minimum times for the
CONVST pulse when the temperature channel is selected. Figure 17
shows the minimum times an analog input channel is selected.

MOUNTING THE AD7416

The AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 can be used for surface or air­temperature sensing applications. If the device is cemented to a
surface with thermally conductive adhesive, the die temperature
will be within about 0.2°C of the surface temperature, thanks to
the device’s low power consumption. Care should be taken to
insulate the back and leads of the device from the air, if the
ambient air temperature is different from the surface tempera­ture being measured.

The ground pin provides the best thermal path to the die, so the
temperature of the die will be close to that of the printed circuit
ground track. Care should be taken to ensure that this is in good
thermal contact with the surface being measured.

As with any IC, the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 and its associ­ated wiring and circuits must be kept free from moisture to
prevent leakage and corrosion, particularly in cold conditions
where condensation is more likely to occur. Water resistant
varnishes and conformal coatings can be used for protection.
The small size of the AD7416 package allows it to be mounted
inside sealed metal probes, which provide a safe environment for
the device.

FAN CONTROLLER

Figure 13 shows a simple fan controller that will switch on a
cooling fan when the temperature exceeds 80°C, and switch it
off again when the temperature falls below 75°C. The AD7416
can be used stand-alone in this application, or with a serial bus
interface if different trip temperatures are required. If the AD7416
is used with a bus interface, the sense of OTI can be set to
active high, Q1 and R1 can be omitted, and OTI connected
directly to the gate of Q2, with R2 as the pull-up resistor.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SUPPLY DECOUPLING

The AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 should be decoupled with a

0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between +V

and GND. This is

S

particularly important if the part is mounted remote from the
power supply.

POWER-ON-RESET

To ensure proper power-on-reset, make sure that the supply
voltage on the V

pin is at 0 V. Reference application note

SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE AD7416s

The three LSBs of the AD7416’s serial address can be set by
the user, allowing eight different addresses from 1001000 to

1001111. Figure 15 shows a system in which eight AD7416s are
connected to a single serial bus, with their OTI outputs wire
ANDed together to form a common interrupt line. This arrange­ment does mean that each device must be read to determine
which one has generated the interrupt, and if a unique interrupt
is required for each device, the OTI outputs can be connected
separately to the I/O chip.
