The AD7623 is a 16-bit, 1.33 MSPS, charge redistribution SAR,
fully differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that
operates from a single 2.5 V power supply. It contains a high
speed 16-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, an
internal reference (and buffer), error correction circuits, and
both serial and parallel system interface ports. Power consumption is automatically scaled with throughput, making it ideal
for battery-powered applications. It is available in 48-lead, low
profile quad flat package (LQFP) and a lead frame chip-scale
(LFCSP_VQ) package. Operation is specified from
−40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code
from a line drawn from negative full-scale through positive fullscale. The point used as negative full-scale occurs ½ LSB before
the first code transition. Positive full-scale is defined as a level
1½ LSBs beyond the last code transition. The deviation is
measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
n an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
I
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Gain Error
irst transition (from 000…00 to 000…01) should occur for
The f
an analog voltage ½ LSB above the nominal negative full-scale
(−2.0479688 V for the ±2.048 V range). The last transition
(from 111…10 to 111…11) should occur for an analog voltage
1½ LSBs below the nominal full-scale (2.0479531 V for the
±2.048 V range). The gain error is the deviation of the
difference between the actual level of the last transition and the
actual level of the first transition from the difference between
the ideal levels.
Zero Error
The zer
o error is the difference between the ideal midscale
input voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the
midscale output code.
Dynamic Range
D
ynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full-scale to
the rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
S
NR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
INAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
S
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7623 is a very fast, low power, single-supply, precise,
16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using successive
approximation architecture. The AD7623 is capable of
converting 1,330,000 samples per second (1.33 MSPS).
The AD7623 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold,
s
uccessive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any
pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed
channel applications.
The AD7623 can be operated from a single 2.5 V supply and
be
interfaced to either 5 V, 3.3 V, or 2.5 V digital logic. It
is housed in 48-lead LQFP or tiny LFCSP packages that
combine space savings with flexibility, allowing the AD7623
to be configured as either a serial or parallel interface. The
AD7623 is pin-to-pin-compatible with, and a speed upgrade
of, the AD7677.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7623 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 21 shows the simplified
s
chematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
mparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW−.
co
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and
acquire the analog signal on IN+ and IN− inputs. A conversion
phase is initiated once the acquisition phase is complete and the
CNVST
input goes low. When the conversion phase begins,
SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are
then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the
REFGND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs (IN+ and IN−) captured at the end of the acquisition
phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the
comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element
of the capacitor array between REFGND and REF, the
comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps
(V
/2, V
REF
/4 through V
REF
/65536). The control logic toggles
REF
these switches, starting with the MSB first, in order to bring the
comparator back into a balanced condition.
After the completion of this process, the control logic generates
t
he ADC output code and brings BUSY output low.
The AD7623 automatically powers down circuits after
co
nversion, making the AD7623 ideal for battery-powered
applications.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 23 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7623.
Different circuitry from that shown in this diagram are optional
and are discussed in the Analog Inputs section.
ANALOG INPUTS
Figure 24 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7623.
The two diodes, D
analog inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that
the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more
than 0.3 V, because this causes the diodes to become forwardbiased and to start conducting current. These diodes can handle
a forward-biased current of 100 mA maximum. For instance,
these conditions could eventually occur when the input buffer’s
U1 or U2 supplies are different from AVDD. In such a case, an
input buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used
to protect the part.

The analog inputs of the AD7623 are a true differential

DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7623 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier must
meet the following requirements:
•T
ogether, the driver amplifier and the AD7623 analog
input circuit must be able to settle for a full-scale step of
the capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%). In the
amplifier data sheet, settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more
commonly specified. This could differ significantly from
the settling time at a 16-bit level and should be verified
prior to driver selection. The AD8021 op amp, which
combines ultralow noise and high gain bandwidth, meets
this settling time requirement even when used with gains
up to 13.
•The
noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition
noise performance of the AD7623. The noise coming from
the driver is filtered by the AD7623 analog input circuit

that of the AD7623. Figure 13 gives the THD vs. frequency

The AD8021 meets these requirements and is appropriate for
ost all applications. The AD8021 needs a 10 pF external
alm
compensation capacitor that should have good linearity as an
NPO ceramic or mica type. Moreover, the use of a noninverting
+1 gain arrangement is recommended and helps to obtain the
best signal-to-noise ratio.
The AD8022 can also be used when a dual version is needed
a
nd a gain of 1 is present. The AD829 is an alternative in
applications where high frequency (above 100 kHz) performance
is not required.
In applications with a gain of 1, an 82 pF compensation

current is needed in low frequency applications.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
The AD7623 allows the choice of either a very low temperature
drift internal voltage reference or an external reference.
Unlike many ADCs with internal references, the internal
r
eference of the AD7623 provides excellent performance and
can be used in almost all applications.
Internal Reference
(PDBUF = Low, PDREF = Low)
To use the internal reference, the PDREF and PDBUF inputs
must be low. This produces a 1.2 V band gap output on
REFBUFIN which, amplified by the internal buffer, results in a
2.048 V reference on the REF pin.
The internal reference is temperature-compensated to
2.048 V ± 10 mV
drift of 7 ppm/°C. This typical drift characteristic is shown
in Figure 7.
The output resistance of the REFBUFIN is 6.33 kΩ (minimum)
hen the internal reference is enabled. It is necessary to
w
decouple this with a ceramic capacitor greater than 100 nF.
Thus, the capacitor provides an RC filter for noise reduction.
Since the output impedance of REFBUFIN is typically 6.33 kΩ,
r
elative humidity (among other industrial contaminates) can
directly affect the drift characteristics of the reference. Typically,
a guard ring is used to reduce the effects of drift under such
circumstances. However, since the AD7623 has a fine lead pitch,
guarding this node is not practical. Therefore, in these
industrial and other types of applications, it is recommended to
use a conformal coating, such as Dow Corning 1-2577 or
Humiseal 1B73.
. The reference is trimmed to provide a typical

If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8139 different
ial driver can be used.
External 1.2 V Reference and Internal Buffer
(PDREF = High, PBBUF = Low)
To use an external reference with the internal buffer, PDREF
should be high and PDBUF should be low. This powers down
the internal reference and allows the 1.2 V reference to be
applied to REFBUFIN.
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 28
Page 19
AD7623
www.BDTIC.com/ADI
External Reference (PDBUF = High, PRBUF = High)
To use an external reference directly on the REF pin, PDREF
and PDBUF should both be high. PDREF and PDBUF power
down the internal reference and the internal reference buffer,
respectively.
For improved drift performance, an external reference, such as
th
e AD780 or ADR431, can be used. The advantages of directly
using the external voltage reference are:
•S
NR and dynamic range improvement (about 1.7 dB)
resulting from the use of a reference voltage very close to
the supply (2.5 V) instead of a typical 2.048 V reference
when the internal reference is used. This is calculated by

down (PBREF = PDBUF = high).
Reference Decoupling
Whether using an internal or external reference, the AD7623
voltage reference input (REF) has a dynamic input impedance;
therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with
efficient decoupling between the REF and REFGND inputs.
This decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage reference,
but usually consists of a low ESR capacitor connected to REF
and REFGND with minimum parasitic inductance. A 10 μF
(X5R, 1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor (or 47 μF tantalum
capacitor) is appropriate when using either the internal
reference or one of these recommended reference voltages:

The placement of the reference decoupling is also important to
th
e performance of the AD7623. The decoupling capacitor
should be mounted on the same side as the ADC right at the
REF pin with a thick PCB trace. The REFGND should also
connect to the reference decoupling capacitor with the shortest
distance.
Temperature Sensor
The TEMP pin measures the temperature of the AD7623. To
improve the calibration accuracy over the temperature range,
the output of the TEMP pin is applied to one of the inputs of
the analog switch (such as ADG779), and the ADC itself is used
to measure its own temperature. This configuration is shown
in
Figure 28.

POWER SUPPLY
The AD7623 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog
2.5 V supply AVDD, a digital 2.5 V core supply DVDD, and a
digital input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD supply
allows direct interface with any logic working between 2.3 V
and 5.25 V. To reduce the number of supplies needed, the digital
core (DVDD) can be supplied through a simple RC filter from
the analog supply, as shown in
Power Sequencing
The AD7623 is independent of power supply sequencing once
OVDD does not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V until
DVDD = 2.3 V during any time; for instance, at power-up or
power-down (see the

Power-Up
At power-up, or returning to operational mode from the powerdown mode (PD = high), the AD7623 engages an initialization
process. During this time, the first 128 conversions should be
ignored or the RESET input could be pulsed to engage a faster
initialization process. Refer to the
RES
ET and timing details.
A simple power-on reset circuit, as shown in Figure 23, can be
ed to minimize the digital interface. As OVDD powers up, the
us
capacitor is shorted and brings RESET high; it is then charged,
returning RESET to low. However, this circuit only works when
powering up the AD7623 because the power-down mode
(PD = high) does not power down any of the supplies. As a
result, RESET is low.
POWER DISSIPATION VS. THROUGHPUT
The AD7623 automatically reduces its power consumption at
the end of each conversion phase. During the acquisition phase,
the operating currents are very low, which allows a significant
power savings when the conversion rate is reduced (see

INTERFACES
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7623 has a versatile digital interface that can be set up
as either a serial or parallel interface with the host system. The
serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The
AD7623 digital interface also accommodates 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V
logic with either OVDD at 2.5 V or 3.3 V. OVDD defines the
logic high output voltage. In most applications, the OVDD
supply pin of the AD7623 is connected to the host system
interface 2.5 V or 3.3 V digital supply. Finally, by using the

particularly important during the second half of the conversion
phase because the AD7623 provides error correction circuitry
that can correct for an improper bit decision made during the
first half of the conversion phase. For this reason, it is recommended that when an external clock is being provided, it is a
discontinuous clock that is toggling only when BUSY is low or,
more importantly, that it does not transition during the latter
half of BUSY high.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7623 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor, and ac signal
processing applications interfacing to a digital signal processor.
The AD7623 is designed to interface with a parallel 8-bit or
16-bit wide interface, or with a general-purpose serial port or
I/O ports on a microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can
be used with the AD7623 to prevent digital noise from coupling
into the ADC. The
th
e use of the AD7623 with an ADSP-219x SPI-equipped DSP.
SPI Interface (ADSP-219x)
Figure 42 shows an interface diagram between the AD7623 and
an SPI-equipped DSP, ADSP-219x. To accommodate the slower
speed of the DSP, the AD7623 acts as a slave device, and data
must be read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisychain feature. The convert command could be initiated in
response to an internal timer interrupt.
SPI Interface (ADSP-219x) section shows
The reading process can be initiated in response to the end-of-
nversion signal (BUSY going low) using an interrupt line of
co
the DSP. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) on the ADSP-219x
is configured for master mode (MSTR) = 1, clock polarity bit
(CPOL) = 0, clock phase bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt
enable (TIMOD) = 00 by writing to the SPI control register
(SPICLTx).
It should be noted that to meet all timing requirements, the SPI
lock should be limited to 17 Mb/s allowing it to read an ADC
c
result in less than 1 μs. When a higher sampling rate is desired,
use one of the parallel interface modes.

APPLICATION
LAYOUT
While the AD7623 has very good immunity to noise on the
power supplies, exercise care with the grounding layout. To
facilitate the use of ground planes that can be easily separated,
design the printed circuit board that houses the AD7623 so that
the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. Digital and analog ground planes
should be joined in only one place, preferably underneath the
AD7623, or as close as possible to the AD7623. If the AD7623 is
in a system where multiple devices require analog-to-digital
ground connections, the connections should still be made at
one point only, a star ground point, established as close as
possible to the AD7623.
To prevent coupling noise onto the die, avoid radiating noise,

The power supply lines to the AD7623 should use as large a
race as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the
t
effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is
also important to lower the impedance of the supplies presented
to the AD7623, and to reduce the magnitude of the supply
spikes. Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should
be placed on each of the power supplies pins, AVDD, DVDD,
and OVDD. The capacitors should be placed close to, and
ideally right up against, these pins and their corresponding
ground pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 μF capacitors should be
located in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low
frequency ripple.
or clocks, with
The DVDD supply of the AD7623 can be either a separate
pply or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the
su
digital interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply
is noisy, or fast switching digital signals are present, and no
separate supply is available, it is recommended to connect the
DVDD digital supply to the analog supply AVDD through an
RC filter, and to connect the system supply to the interface
digital supply OVDD and the remaining digital circuitry. Refer
to
Figure 23 for an example of this configuration. When DVDD
is
powered from the system supply, it is useful to insert a bead
to further reduce high frequency spikes.
The AD7623 has four different ground pins: REFGND, AGND,
D
GND, and OGND. REFGND senses the reference voltage and,
because it carries pulsed currents, should be a low impedance
return to the reference. AGND is the ground to which most
internal ADC analog signals are referenced; it must be
connected with the least resistance to the analog ground plane.
DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane
depending on the configuration. OGND is connected to the
digital system ground.
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is
portant. To minimize parasitic inductances, place the
im
decoupling capacitor close to the ADC and connect it with
short, thick traces.
EVALUATING THE AD7623 PERFORMANCE
A recommended layout for the AD7623 is outlined in the
documentation of the EVAL-AD7623CB evaluation board
for the AD7623. The evaluation board package includes a fully
assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and
software for controlling the board from a PC via the
EVAL-CONTROL BRD3.
