GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7626 is a 16-bit, 10MSPS, charge redistribution
successive approximation register (SAR) architecture, analogto-digital converter (ADC). SAR architecture allows unmatched
performance both in noise – 92dB SNR - and in linearity –
1LSB. The AD7626 contains a high speed 16-bit sampling ADC,
an internal conversion clock, and an internal buffered reference.
On the CNV edge, it samples the voltage difference between
IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins swing in opposite
phase between 0 V and REF. The 4.096V reference voltage, REF,
can be generated internally or applied externally.
All converted results are available on a single LVDS self-clocked
or echoed-clock serial interface reducing external hardware
connections.
The AD7626 is housed in a 32-lead LFCSP (5mm by 5mm) with
operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Least Significant Bit (LSB)
The least significant bit, or LSB, is the smallest increment that
can be represented by a converter. For a fully differential input
ADC with N bits of resolution, the LSB expressed in volts is
INp-p
VLSB2)(=
N
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 a 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)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Zero Error
The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V)
and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 ... 00 to 100 ... 01) should occur at
a level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.095938 V
for the ±4.096V V range). The last transition (from 011 … 10 to
011 … 11) should occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the
nominal full scale (+4.095813 V for the ±4.096V 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.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the rms noise measured for an input typically at −60 dB. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR 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.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and
is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD 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, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD and is expressed in bits by
ENOB = [(SINAD
− 1.76)/6.02]
dB
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance
measured from the falling edge of the
CNVST
input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
The time required for the AD7634 to achieve its rated accuracy
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.
Reference Voltage Temperature Coefficient
Reference voltage temperature coefficient is derived from the

THEORY OF OPERATION
Echoed-Clock Interface Mode
The AD7626 digital operation in “echoed-clock interface mode”
is shown in Figure 3. This interface mode, requiring just a shift
register on the digital host, can be used with many digital hosts
(FPGA, shift register, microprocessor, etc.). It requires 3 LVDS
pairs (D±, CLK±, and DCO±) between each AD7626 and the
digital host.
The clock DCO is a buffered copy of CLK and synchronous to
the data, D, which is updated on DCO+ falling edge (t
). By
D
keeping good propagation delay matching between D and DCO
through the board and the digital host, DCO can be can be used
to latch D with good timing margin for the shift register.
CNV-
SAMPLE N
T
CNVH
T
CYC
Conversions are initiated by a CNV pulse. The CNV must be
returned low ≤ t
(max) for valid operation. Once a
CNVH
conversion has begun, it continues until completion. Additional
CNV pulses are ignored during the conversion phase. After the
time t
that t
elapses, the host should begin to burst the CLK. Note
MSB
is the maximum time for the MSB of the new
MSB
conversion result and should be used as the gating device for
CLK. The echoed clock, DCO, and data, D, will be driven in
phase with D being updated on the DCO+ falling edge and the
host should use the DCO+ rising edge to capture D. The only
requirement is that the 16 CLK pulses finish before the time
t
elapses of the next conversion phase or the data will be lost.
The AD7626 digital operation in “self-clocked interface mode”
is shown in Figure 4. This interface mode reduces the number
of wires between ADCs and the digital host to 2 LVDS pairs per
AD7626, CLK± and D± or a single pair if sharing a common
CLK using multiple AD7626’s. This considerably eases the
design of a system using multiple AD7626’s since the interface
can tolerate several CLK cycles of propagation delay mismatch
between the different AD7626 devices and the digital host.
The “self-clocked interface mode” consists of preceding each
ADC word results by a header of 2 bits on the data, D This
header is used to synchronize D of each conversion in the
digital host. Synchronization is accomplished by one simple
state machine per AD7626 device. The state machine is running,
for instance, at the same speed as CLK with 3 phases. The state
machine measures when the first “one” of the header occurs.
This provides the value of the actual propagation delay delta

Conversions are initiated by a CNV pulse. The CNV must be
returned low ≤ t
(max) for valid operation. Once a
CNVH
conversion has begun, it continues until completion. Additional
CNV pulses are ignored during the conversion phase. After the
time t
that t
elapses, the host should begin to burst the CLK. Note
MSB
is the maximum time for the first bit of the header and
MSB
should be used as the gating device for CLK. CLK is also used
internally on the host to begin the internal synchronization
state machine. The next header bit and conversion results are
output on subsequent falling edges of CLK. The only
requirement is that the 18 CLK pulses finish before the time
t
elapses of the next conversion phase or the data will be
CLKL
lost.
