GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7707 is a complete analog front end for low frequency
measurement applications. This 3-channel device can accept
either low level input signals directly from a transducer or high
level (±10 V) signals and produce a serial digital output. It employs
a Σ-Δ conversion technique to realize up to 16 bits of no missing
codes performance. The selected input signal is applied to a
proprietary programmable gain front end based around an analog
modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-chip
digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed via an on-chip control register allowing adjustment
of the filter cutoff and output update rate.
The AD7707 operates from a single 2.7 V to 3.3 V or 4.75 V to
5.25 V supply. The AD7707 features two low level pseudo differential analog input channels, one high level input channel and a
differential reference input. Input signal ranges of 0 mV to 20 mV
through 0 V to 2.5 V can be accommodated on both low level input
channels when operating with a VDD of 5 V and a reference of
2.5 V. They can also handle bipolar input signal ranges of ±20 mV
through ±2.5 V, which are referenced to the LCOM input. The
AD7707, with a 3 V supply and a 1.225 V reference, can handle
unipolar input signal ranges of 0 mV to 10 mV through 0 V to
1.225 V. Its bipolar input signal ranges are ±10 mV through ±1.225 V.
The high level input channel can accept input signal ranges of ±10 V,
±5 V, 0 V to 10 V and 0 V to 5 V. The AD7707 thus performs all
signal conditioning and conversion for a 3-channel system.
The AD7707 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller or DSPbased systems. It features a serial interface that can be configured

for 3-wire operation. Gain settings, signal polarity and update
rate selection can be configured in software using the input
serial port. The part contains self-calibration and system calibration options to eliminate gain and offset errors on the part itself
or in the system.
CMOS construction ensures very low power dissipation, and the
power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to
20 μW typical. This part is available in a 20-lead wide body (0.3
inch) small outline (SOIC) package and a low profile 20-lead TSSOP.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7707 consumes less than 1 mW at 3 V supplies and
1 MHz master clock, making it ideal for use in low power
systems. Standby current is less than 8 μA.
2. On-chip thin-film resistors allow ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to 10 V,
and 0 V to 5 V high level input signals to be directly accommodated on the analog inputs without requiring split supplies
or charge-pumps.
3. The low level input channels allow the AD7707 to accept
input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer
removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning.
4. The part features excellent static performance specifications
with 16 bits, no missing codes, ±0.003% accuracy, and low
rms noise. Endpoint errors and the effects of temperature
drift are eliminated by on-chip calibration options, which
remove zero-scale and full-scale errors.

Temperature range as follows: B Version, −40°C to +85°C.
2
These numbers are established from characterization or design at initial product release.
3
A calibration is effectively a conversion so these errors are of the order of the conversion noise shown in Table 7 and Table 9 for the low level input channels AIN1 and
AIN2. This applies after calibration at the temperature of interest.
4
Recalibration at any temperature removes these drift errors.
5
Positive full-scale error includes zero-scale errors (unipolar offset error or bipolar zero error) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
6
Full-scale drift includes zero-scale drift (unipolar offset drift or bipolar zero drift) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
7
Gain error does not include zero-scale errors. It is calculated as full-scale error—unipolar offset error for unipolar ranges and full-scale error—bipolar zero error for
bipolar ranges.
8
Gain error drift does not include unipolar offset drift/bipolar zero drift. It is effectively the drift of the part if POMZzero-scale calibrations were performed.
9
Error is removed following a system calibration.
10
This common-mode voltage range is allowed provided that the input voltage on analog inputs does not go more positive than AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative
than AGND − 100 mV. Parts are functional with voltages down to AGND − 200 mV, but with increased leakage at high temperature.
11
The analog input voltage range on AIN(+) is given here with respect to the voltage on LCOM on the low level input channels (AIN1 and AIN2) and is given with
DD
respect to the HCOM input on the high level input channel, AIN3. The absolute voltage on the low level analog inputs should not go more positive than AVDD +
100 mV, or go more negative than GND − 100 mV for specified performance. Input voltages of AGND − 200 mV can be accommodated, but with increased leakage at
high temperature.

13
These logic output levels apply to the MCLK OUT only when it is loaded with one CMOS load.
14
Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance.
15
After calibration, if the analog input exceeds positive full scale, the converter outputs all 1s. If the analog input is less than negative full scale, the device outputs all 0s.
16
These calibration and span limits apply provided that the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative than AGND −
mV. The offset calibration limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point.
17
When using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the DVDD current and power dissipation varies depending on the
crystal or resonator type (see the Clocking and Oscillator Circuit section).
18
Measured at dc and applies in the selected pass band. PSRR at 50 Hz exceeds 120 dB with filter notches of 25 Hz or 50 Hz. PSRR at 60 Hz exceeds 120 dB with filter
notches of 20 Hz or 60 Hz.
19
PSRR depends on both gain and AVDD. See Table 2 and Table 3.
20
If the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 μA typical at 5 V and 75 μA typical at 3 V. When using a crystal or
ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the internal oscillator continues to run in standby mode and the power dissipation depends
on the crystal or resonator type (see the Standby Mode section).

Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 SCLK
Serial Clock, Schmitt-Triggered Logic Input. An external serial clock is applied to this input to access serial data
from the AD7707. This serial clock can be a continuous clock with all data transmitted in a continuous train of
pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted to the AD7707 in
smaller batches of data.
2 MCLK IN
Master Clock Signal for the Device. This can be provided in the form of a crystal/resonator or external clock. A
crystal/resonator can be tied across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins. Alternatively, the MCLK IN pin can be
driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and MCLK OUT left unconnected. The part can be operated with clock
frequencies in the range of 500 kHz to 5 MHz.
3 MCLK OUT
When the master clock for the device is a crystal/resonator, the crystal/resonator is connected between MCLK IN
and MCLK OUT. If an external clock is applied to MCLK IN, MCLK OUT provides an inverted clock signal. This clock
can be used to provide a clock source for external circuitry and is capable of driving one CMOS load. If the user
does not require it, this MCLK OUT can be turned off via the CLKDIS bit of the clock register. This ensures that the
part is not wasting unnecessary power driving capacitive loads on MCLK OUT.

AD7707
ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The AD7707 contains eight on-chip registers that can be
accessed via the serial port of the part. The first of these is a
communications register that controls the channel selection,
decides whether the next operation is a read or write operation
and selects which register the next read or write operation
accesses. All communications to the part must start with a write
operation to the communications register. After power-on or
RESET
, the device expects a write to its communications register.
The data written to this register determines whether the next
operation to the part is a read or a write operation and
determines to which register this read or write operation occurs.
Therefore, write access to any of the other registers on the part
starts with a write operation to the communications register
followed by a write to the selected register. A read operation
from any other register on the part (including the communications
register itself and the data register) starts with a write operation
to the communications register followed by a read operation
from the selected register. The communications register also
controls the standby mode and channel selection
st
atus is available by reading from the communications register.
The second register is a setup register that determines calibration
mode, gain setting, bipolar/unipolar operation, and buffered
mode. The third register is the clock register and contains the
filter selection bits and clock control bits. The fourth register is
and the
DRDY
the data register from which the output data from the part is
accessed. The final registers are the calibration registers, which
store channel calibration data. The registers are described in
more detail in the following sections.
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0,
0, 0)
The communications register is an 8-bit register from which
data can either be read or to which data can be written. All
communications to the part must start with a write operation to
the communications register. The data written to the communications register determines whether the next operation is a
read or write operation and to which register this operation
takes place. When the subsequent read or write operation to the
selected register is complete, the interface returns to where it
expects a write operation to the communications register. This
is the default state of the interface, and on power-up or after a
RESET
, the AD7707 is in this default state waiting for a write
operation to the communications register. In situations where
the interface sequence is lost, if a write operation of sufficient
duration (containing at least 32 serial clock cycles) takes place
with DIN high, the AD7707 returns to this default state.

Standby. Writing a 1 to this bit puts the part into its standby or power-down mode. In this mode, the part consumes only
8 μA of power supply current. The part retains its calibration coefficients and control word information when in standby. Writing
a 0 to this bit places the part in its normal operating mode. The serial interface on the AD7707 remains operational when the
part is in standby mode.
Channel select. These two bits select a channel for conversion or for access to the calibration coefficients as outlined in Table 17 .
Three pairs of calibration registers on the part are used to store the calibration coefficients following a calibration on a channel. They are
shown in Table 17 for the AD7707 to indicate which channel combinations have independent calibration coefficients. With CH1
at Logic 1 and CH0 at a Logic 0, the part looks at the LOCOM input internally shorted to itself. This can be used as a test method
to evaluate the noise performance of the part with no external noise sources. In this mode, the LOCOM input should be
connected to an external voltage within the allowable common-mode range for the part.

Zero. A zero must be written to these bits to ensure correct operation of the AD7707. Failure to do so may result in unspecified
operation of the device.
Master clock disable bit. A Logic 1 in this bit disables the master clock from appearing at the MCLK OUT pin. When disabled, the
MCLK OUT pin is forced low. This feature allows the user the flexibility of using the MCLK OUT as a clock source for other devices
in the system or of turning off the MCLK OUT as a power saving feature. When using an external master clock on the MCLK IN
pin, the AD7707 continues to have internal clocks and converts normally with the CLKDIS bit active. When using a crystal
oscillator or ceramic resonator across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins, the AD7707 clock is stopped and no conversions take
place when the CLKDIS bit is active.
Clock divider bit. With this bit at a Logic 1, the clock frequency appearing at the MCLK IN pin is divided by two before being used
internally by the AD7707. For example, when this bit is set to 1, the user can operate with a 4.9152 MHz crystal between MCLK
IN and MCLK OUT, and internally the part operates with the specified 2.4576 MHz. With this bit at a Logic 0, the clock frequency
appearing at the MCLK IN pin is the frequency used internally by the part.
Clock bit. This bit should be set in accordance with the operating frequency of the AD7707. If the device has a master clock
frequency of 2.4576 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 4.9152 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), then this bit should be set to a 1. If the device has a master
clock frequency of 1 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 2 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), this bit should be set to a 0. This bit sets up the appropriate scaling
currents for a given operating frequency and also chooses (along with FS2, FS1 and FS0) the output update rate for the device. If
this bit is not set correctly for the master clock frequency of the device, then the AD7707 may not operate to specification.
Filter selection bits. Along with the CLK bit, FS2, FS1, and FS0 determine the output update rate, filter first notch, and −3 dB
frequency as outlined in Tab le 24. The on-chip digital filter provides a sinc
10 Hz places notches at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, giving better than 150 dB rejection at these frequencies. In association with the
gain selection, the filter cutoff also determines the output noise of the device. Changing the filter notch frequency, as well as the
selected gain, impacts resolution. Table 7 to Table 13 show the effect of filter notch frequency and gain on the output noise and
effective resolution of the part. The output data rate (or effective conversion time) for the device is equal to the frequency
selected for the first notch of the filter. For example, if the first notch of the filter is selected at 50 Hz, a new word is available at a
50 Hz output rate, or every 20 ms. If the first notch is at 500 Hz, a new word is available every 2 ms. A calibration should be
initiated when any of these bits are changed.
The settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is worst-case 4 × 1/(output data rate). For example, with the filter first
notch at 50 Hz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is 80 ms maximum. If the first notch is at 500 Hz, the
settling time is 8 ms maximum. This settling time can be reduced to 3 × 1/(output data rate) by synchronizing the step input
change to a reset of the digital filter. In other words, if the step input takes place with the FSYNC bit high, the settling time is 3 ×
1/(output data rate) from when the FSYNC bit returns low.
The −3 dB frequency is determined by the programmed first notch frequency according to the following relationship:
filter − 3 dB frequency = 0.262 × filter first notch frequency

(or Sinx/x3) filter response. Placing the first notch at
Assumes correct clock frequency on the MCLK IN pin with the CLKDIV bit set appropriately.
Data Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 1)
The data register on the part is a 16-bit read-only register that
contains the most up-to-date conversion result from the AD7707.
If the communications register sets up the part for a write
operation to this register, a write operation must actually take
place to return the part to where it is expecting a write operation to
the communications register. However, the 16 bits of data
written to the part are ignored by the AD7707.
The part contains a Uest Segister that is used when testing the
de
vice. The user is advised not to change the status of any of the
bits in this register from the default (power-on or
of all 0s because the part will be placed in one of its test modes
and will not operate correctly.
The AD7707 contains independent sets of zero-scale registers,
one for each of the input channels. Each of these registers is a
24-bit read/write register; 24 bits of data must be written; otherwise,

AD7707
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7707 is a Σ-Δ ADC with on-chip digital filtering, intended
for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency
signals such as those in industrial control or process control
applications. It contains a Σ-Δ (or charge balancing) ADC, a
calibration microcontroller with on-chip static RAM, a clock
oscillator, a digital filter, and a bidirectional serial communications port. The part consumes only 320 μA of power supply
current, making it ideal for battery-powered or loop-powered
instruments. On-chip thin-film resistors allow ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V
to 10 V, and 0 V to 5 V high level input signals to be directly
accommodated on the analog input without requiring split
supplies, dc-to-dc converters, or charge pumps. This part operates
with a supply voltage of 2.7 V to 3.3 V, or 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
The AD7707 contains two low level (AIN1 and AIN2) programmable-gain pseudo differential analog input channels and
one high level (AIN3) single-ended input channel. For the low
level input channels, the selectable gains are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
and 128, allowing the part to accept unipolar signals of between
0 mV to 20 mV and 0 V to 2.5 V, or bipolar signals in the range
from ±20 mV to ±2.5 V when the reference input voltage equals
2.5 V. With a reference voltage of 1.225 V, the input ranges are
from 0 mV to 10 mV to 0 V to 1.225 V in unipolar mode, and
from ±10 mV to ±1.225 V in bipolar mode. Note that the signals
are with respect to the LOCOM input.
The high level input channel can directly accept input signals
of ±10 V with respect to HICOM when operating with 5 V
supplies and a reference of 2.5 V. With 3 V supplies, ±5 V can
be accommodated on the AIN3 input.
The input signal to the analog input is continuously sampled at
a rate determined by the frequency of the master clock, MCLK
IN, and the selected gain. A charge-balancing ADC (Σ-Δ

modulator) converts the sampled signal into a digital pulse
train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. The
programmable gain function on the analog input is also
incorporated in this Σ-Δ modulator with the input sampling
frequency being modified to give the higher gains. A sinc

digital low-pass filter processes the output of the Σ-Δ modulator
and updates the output register at a rate determined by the first
notch frequency of this filter. The output data can be read from
the serial port randomly or periodically at any rate up to the
output register update rate. The first notch of this digital filter
(and therefore its −3 dB frequency) can be programmed via the
clock register bits, FS0 to FS2. With a master clock frequency
of 2.4576 MHz, the programmable range for this first notch
frequency is from 10 Hz to 500 Hz, giving a programmable range
for the −3 dB frequency of 2.62 Hz to 131 Hz. With a master clock
frequency of 1 MHz, the programmable range for this first notch
frequency is from 4 Hz to 200 Hz, giving a programmable range for
the −3 dB frequency of 1.06 Hz to 52.4 Hz.
The basic connection diagram for the AD7707 is shown in
Figure 12. An AD780 or REF192 precision 2.5 V reference
provides the reference source for the part. On the digital side,
the part is configured for 3-wire operation with
CS
tied to
DGND. A quartz crystal or ceramic resonator provides the master
clock source for the part. In most cases, it is necessary to
connect capacitors on the crystal or resonator to ensure that it
does not oscillate at overtones of its fundamental operating
frequency. The values of capacitors can vary, depending on the
manufacturer’s specifications. A similar circuit is applicable for
operation with 3 V supplies; in this case, a 1.225 V reference
(AD1580) should be used for specified performance.

ANALOG INPUT
ANALOG INPUT RANGES
The AD7707 contains two low level pseudo differential analog
input channels, AIN1 and AIN2. These input pairs provide
programmable-gain, differential input channels that can handle
either unipolar or pseudo bipolar input signals. It should be
noted that the bipolar input signals are referenced to the LOCOM
input. The AD7707 also has a high level analog input channel
AIN3, which is referenced to HICOM. Figure 13 shows the input
structure on the high level input channel.
In normal 5 V operation, VBIAS is normally connected to 2.5 V
and HICOM is connected to AGND. This arrangement ensures
that the voltages seen internally are within the common-mode
range of the buffer in buffered mode and within the supply range in
unbuffered mode. This device can be programmed to operate in
either buffered or unbuffered mode via the BUF bit in the setup
register. Note that the signals on AIN3 are with respect to the
HICOM input and not with respect to AGND or DGND.
The differential voltage seen by the AD7707 when using the
high level input channel is the difference between AIN3(+) and
AIN3(−) on the mux as shown in Figure 13.

In unbuffered mode, the common-mode range of the low level
input channels is from AGND − 100 mV to AV
+ 30 mV. This
DD
means that in unbuffered mode, the part can handle both unipolar
and bipolar input ranges for all gains. Absolute voltages of
AGND − 100 mV can be accommodated on the analog inputs
without degradation in performance, but leakage current increases
appreciably with increasing temperature. In buffered mode, the
analog inputs can handle much larger source impedances, but
the absolute input voltage range is restricted to between AGND
+ 50 mV to AV
− 1.5 V, which also places restrictions on the
DD
common-mode range. This means that in buffered mode, there
are some restrictions on the allowable gains for bipolar input
ranges. Care must be taken in setting up the common-mode
voltage and input voltage range so that these limits are not
exceeded; otherwise, there will be a degradation in linearity
performance.

Both reference inputs provide a high impedance, dynamic load
similar to the analog inputs in unbuffered mode. The maximum
dc input leakage current is ±1 nA over temperature, and source
resistance may result in gain errors on the part. In this case, the
sampling switch resistance is 5 kΩ typical and the reference

gain of 128, it is 3.3125 pF.
The output noise performance outlined in Tab le 7 through
Tabl e 13 is for an analog input of 0 V, which effectively removes
the effect of noise from the reference. To obtain the same noise
performance as shown in the noise tables over the full input
range requires a low noise reference source for the AD7707. If
the reference noise in the bandwidth of interest is excessive, it
degrades the performance of the AD7707. In bridge transducer
applications where the reference voltage for the ADC is derived
from the excitation voltage, the effect of the noise in the excitation
voltage is removed because the application is ratiometric. Recommended reference voltage sources for the AD7707 with an
AV
of 5 V include the AD780, REF43, and REF192, and the
DD
recommended reference sources for the AD7707 operated with
an AV

DD
recommended to decouple the output of these references to
further reduce the noise level.

AD7707
DIGITAL FILTERING
The AD7707 contains an on-chip low-pass digital filter that
p
rocesses the output of the part’s Σ-Δ modulator. Therefore, the
part not only provides the analog-to-digital conversion function
but also provides a level of filtering. There are a number of system
differences when the filtering function is provided in the digital
domain rather than the analog domain and the user should be
aware of these.
First, because digital filtering occurs after the ADC process, it
can remove noise injected during the conversion process. Analog
filtering cannot do this. Also, the digital filter can be made
programmable far more readily than an analog filter. Depending
on the digital filter design, this gives the user the capability of
programming cutoff frequency and output update rate.
On the other hand, analog filtering can remove noise superimposed on the analog signal before it reaches the ADC. Digital
filtering cannot do this and noise peaks riding on signals near
full scale have the potential to saturate the analog modulator
and digital filter, even though the average value of the signal is
within limits. To alleviate this problem, the AD7707 has overrange headroom built into the Σ-Δ modulator and digital filter,
which allows overrange excursions of 5% above the analog
input range. If noise signals are larger than this, consideration
should be given to analog input filtering, or to reducing the input
channel voltage so that its full scale is half that of the analog input
channel full scale. This provides an overrange capability greater
than 100% at the expense of reducing the dynamic range by one
bit (50%).
In addition, the digital filter does not provide any rejection at
integer multiples of the digital filter’s sample frequency. However,
the input sampling on the part provides attenuation at multiples
of the digital filter’s sampling frequency so that the unattenuated
bands actually occur around multiples of the sampling frequency, f
(as defined in Tab l e 2 7). Thus, the unattenuated bands occur at
n × f
(where n = 1, 2, 3…). At these frequencies, there are
S
frequency bands of ±f
width (f

Figure 16 shows the filter frequency response for a cutoff
frequency of 2.62 Hz, which corresponds to a first filter notch
frequency of 10 Hz. The plot is shown from dc to 65 Hz. This
response is repeated at either side of the digital filter’s sample
frequency and at either side of multiples of the filter’s sample
frequency.
The response of the filter is similar to that of an averaging filter,
but with a sharper roll-off. The output rate for the digital filter
corresponds with the positioning of the first notch of the filter’s
frequency response. Thus, for the plot of Figure 16 where the
output rate is 10 Hz, the first notch of the filter is at 10 Hz. The
3
notches of this (sinx/x)
filter are repeated at multiples of the
first notch. The filter provides attenuation of better than 100 dB
at these notches.

Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection is obtained by placing
the first notch at 10 Hz. Operating with an update rate of 10 Hz
places notches at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz giving better than 100 dB
rejection at these frequencies.
The cutoff frequency of the digital filter is determined by the value
loaded to Bit FS0 to Bit FS2 in the clock register. Programming
a different cutoff frequency via FS0, FS1, and FS2 does not alter
the profile of the filter response; it changes the frequency of the
notches. The output update of the part and the frequency of the
first notch correspond.
Because the AD7707 contains this on-chip, low-pass filtering, a
settling time is associated with step function inputs and data on
the output will be invalid after a step change until the settling
time has elapsed. The settling time depends upon the output rate
chosen for the filter. The settling time of the filter to a full-scale
step input can be up to four times the output data period. For a
synchronized step input (using the FSYNC function), the settling
time is three times the output data period.
Rev. B | Page 28 of 52
AD7707
POSTFILTERING
The on-chip modulator provides samples at a 19.2 kHz output
rate with f
these samples to provide data at an output rate that corresponds
to the programmed output rate of the filter. Because the output
data rate is higher than the Nyquist criterion, the output rate for
a given bandwidth satisfies most application requirements. There
may, however, be some applications that require a higher data
rate for a given bandwidth and noise performance. Applications
that need this higher data rate require some postfiltering following the digital filter of the AD7707.
For example, if the required bandwidth is 7.86 Hz, but the
required update rate is 100 Hz, the data can be taken from the
AD7707 at the 100 Hz rate, giving a −3 dB bandwidth of 26.2 Hz.
Postfiltering can be applied to this to reduce the bandwidth and
output noise, to the 7.86 Hz bandwidth level, while maintaining
an output rate of 100 Hz.
Postfiltering can also be used to reduce the output noise from
the device for bandwidths below 2.62 Hz. At a gain of 128 and a
bandwidth of 2.62 Hz, the output rms noise is 450 nV. This is
essentially device noise or white noise
chopp
By reducing the bandwidth below 2.62 Hz, the noise in the
resultant pass band can be reduced. A reduction in bandwidth
by a factor of 2 results in a reduction of approximately 1.25 in
the output rms noise. This additional filtering results in a longer
settling time.
at 2.4576 MHz. The on-chip digital filter decimates
CLKIN
and because the input is
ed, the noise has a primarily flat frequency response.
ANALOG FILTERING
The digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer multiples
of the modulator sample frequency, as previously outlined.
However, due to the AD7707’s high oversampling ratio, these bands
occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum and most broadband
noise is filtered. This means that the analog filtering requirements
in front of the AD7707 are considerably reduced vs. a conventional converter with no on-chip filtering. In addition, because
the part’s common-mode rejection performance of 100 dB
extends out to several kHz, common-mode noise in this
frequency range is substantially reduced.
Depending on the application, however, it may be necessary to
provide attenuation prior to the AD7707 to eliminate unwanted
frequencies from these bands, which the digital filter will pass.
It may also be necessary in some applications to provide analog
filtering in front of the AD7707 to ensure that differential noise
signals outside the band of interest do not saturate the analog
modulator.
If passive components are placed in front of the AD7707 in
unbuffered mode, care must be taken to ensure that the source
impedance is low enough not to introduce gain errors in the
system. This significantly limits the amount of passive antialiasing
filtering, which can be provided in front of the AD7707 when it
is used in unbuffered mode. However, when the part is used in
buffered mode, large source impedances simply result in a small
dc offset error (a 10 kΩ source resistance causes an offset error
of less than 10 μV). Therefore, if the system requires any
cant source impedances to provide passive analog GJMUFSJOHJO
front of the AD7707, it is recommended that the QBSUCFPQFSBUFE

AD7707
CALIBRATION
The AD7707 provides a number of calibration options that
can be programmed via the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup
register. The different calibration options are outlined in the
Setup Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 1); Power-On/Reset Status:
0x01 section and the Calibration Sequences section. A calibration
cycle can be initiated at any time by writing to these bits of the
setup register. Calibration on the AD7707 removes offset and
gain errors from the device. A calibration routine should be
initiated on the device whenever there is a change in the ambient
operating temperature or supply voltage. It should also be
initiated if there is a change in the selected gain, filter notch, or
bipolar/unipolar input range.
The AD7707 offers self-calibration and system calibration facilities. For full calibration to occur on the selected channel, the
on-chip microcontroller must record the modulator output for
two different input conditions. These are zero-scale and full-scale
points. These points are derived by performing a conversion on
the different input voltages provided to the input of the modulator during calibration. As a result, the accuracy of the calibration
can only be as good as the noise level that it provides in normal
mode. The result of the zero-scale calibration conversion is
stored in the zero-scale calibration register whereas the result of
the full-scale calibration conversion is stored in the full-scale
calibration register. With these readings, the microcontroller
can calculate the offset and the gain slope for the input-tooutput transfer function of the converter.
SELF-CALIBRATION
A self-calibration is initiated on the AD7707 by writing the
appropriate values (0, 1) to the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup
register. In the self-calibration mode with a unipolar input
range, the zero-scale point used in determining the calibration
coefficients is with the inputs of the differential pair internally
shorted on the part (that is, AIN1 = LOCOM = internal bias
voltage in the case of the AD7707. The PGA is set for the
selected gain (as per the G2, G1, and G0 bits in the setup
register) for this zero-scale calibration conversion. The fullscale calibration conversion is performed at the selected gain on
an internally-generated voltage of V
The duration time for the calibration is 6 × 1/output rate. This
is made up of 3 × 1/output rate for the zero-scale calibration

For bipolar input ranges in the self-calibrating mode, the
sequence is very similar to that just outlined. In this case, the
two points are exactly the same as in the previous case but
because the part is configured for bipolar operation, the shorted
inputs point is actually midscale of the transfer function.
Errors due to resistor mismatch in the attenuator on the high
level input channel AIN3 are not removed by a self-calibration.

SYSTEM CALIBRATION
System calibration allows the AD7707 to compensate for system
gain and offset errors as well as its own internal errors. System
calibration performs the same slope factor calculations as selfcalibration, but uses voltage values presented by the system to
the AIN inputs for the zero-scale and full-scale points. Full
system calibration requires a two-step process, a ZS system
calibration followed by an FS system calibration.
For a full system calibration, the zero-scale point must be presented
to the converter first. It must be applied to the converter before
the calibration step is initiated, and remain stable until the step
is complete. Once the system zero-scale voltage has been set up,
a ZS system calibration is then initiated by writing the appropriate
values (1, 0) to the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup register. The
zero-scale system calibration is performed at the selected gain.
The duration of the calibration is 3 × 1/output rate. At this time,
the MD1 and MD0 bits in the setup register return to 0, 0. This

After the zero-scale point is calibrated, the full-scale point is
applied to the analog input and the second step of the
calibration process is initiated by again writing the appropriate
values (1, 1) to MD1 and MD0. Again, the full-scale voltage
must be set up before the calibration is initiated and it must
remain stable throughout the calibration step. The full-scale
system calibration is performed at the selected gain. The duration
of the calibration is 3 × 1/output rate. At this time, the MD1 and

In the unipolar mode, the system calibration is performed between
the two endpoints of the transfer function; in the bipolar mode,
it is performed between midscale (zero differential voltage) and
positive full scale.
The fact that the system calibration is a two-step calibration offers
another feature. After the sequence of a full system calibration
has been completed, additional offset or gain calibrations can
be performed by themselves to adjust the system zero reference
point or the system gain. Calibrating one of the parameters,
either system offset or system gain, does not affect the other
parameter.
System calibration can also be used to remove any errors from
source impedances on the analog input when the part is used in
unbuffered mode. A simple R, C antialiasing filter on the front
end may introduce a gain error on the analog input voltage, but
the system calibration can be used to remove this error.
SPAN AND OFFSET LIMITS ON THE LOW LEVEL
INPUT CHANNELS, AIN1 AND AIN2
Whenever a system calibration mode is used, there are limits on
the amount of offset and span that can be accommodated. The
overriding requirement in determining the amount of offset
and gain that can be accommodated by the part is the requirement that the positive full-scale calibration limit is <1.05 ×
/gain. This allows the input range to go 5% above the
V
REF
nominal range. The built-in headroom in the AD7707’s analog
modulator ensures that the part will still operate correctly with a
positive full-scale voltage that is 5% beyond the nominal.
The input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes has a
minimum value of 0.8 × V
/gain. However, the span (which is the difference between
× V
REF
the bottom of the AD7707’s input range and the top of its input
range) has to take into account the limitation on the positive
full-scale voltage. The amount of offset that can be accommodated depends on whether the unipolar or bipolar mode is
being used. Once again, the offset has to take into account the
limitation on the positive full-scale voltage. In unipolar mode,
there is considerable flexibility in handling negative offsets. In
both unipolar and bipolar modes, the range of positive offsets
that can be handled by the part depends on the selected span.

AD7707
POWER-UP AND CALIBRATION
On power-up, the AD7707 performs an internal reset that sets
the contents of the internal registers to a known state. There are
default values loaded to all registers after power-on or reset. The
default values contain nominal calibration coefficients for the
calibration registers. However, to ensure correct calibration for
the device, a calibration routine should be performed after
power-up. A calibration should be performed if the update rate
or gain are changed.
The power dissipation and temperature drift of the AD7707 are
low and no warm-up time is required before the initial calibration
is performed. However, if an external reference is being used,
this reference must stabilize before calibration is initiated.
imilarly, if the clock source for the part is generated from a
S
crystal or resonator across the MCLK pins, the start-up time for
the oscillator circuit should elapse before a calibration is
initiated on the part (see the Clocking and Oscillator Circuit
section).

USING THE AD7707
CLOCKING AND OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
The AD7707 requires a master clock input, which can be an
external CMOS compatible clock signal applied to the MCLK
IN pin with the MCLK OUT pin left unconnected. Alternatively,
a crystal or ceramic resonator of the correct frequency can be
connected between MCLK IN and MCLK OUT
gure 18, in which case the clock circuit functions as an oscilla-

tor, providing the clock source for the part. The input sampling
frequency, the modulator sampling frequency, the −3 dB frequency, output update rate, and calibration time are all directly
related to the master clock frequency, f

Using the part with a crystal or ceramic resonator between the
MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins generally causes more current
to be drawn from DV
than when the part is clocked from a
DD
driven clock signal at the MCLK IN pin. This is because the onchip oscillator circuit is active in the case of the crystal or ceramic
resonator. Therefore, the lowest possible current on the AD7707
is achieved with an externally applied clock at the MCLK IN pin
with MCLK OUT unconnected, unloaded, and disabled.
The amount of additional current taken by the oscillator depends
on a number of factors—first, the larger the value of capacitor
(C1 and C2) placed on the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins, the
larger the current consumption on the AD7707. Care should be
taken not to exceed the capacitor values recommended by the
crystal and ceramic resonator manufacturers to avoid consuming
unnecessary current. Typical values for C1 and C2 are recommended by crystal or ceramic resonator manufacturers; these
are in the range of 30 pF to 50 pF. If the capacitor values on
MCLK IN and MCLK OUT are kept in this range, they do not
result in any excessive current. Another factor that influences
the current is the effective series resistance (ESR) of the crystal
that appears between the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins of
the AD7707. As a general rule, the lower the ESR value is, the
lower the current taken by the oscillator circuit.
When operating with a clock frequency of 2.4576 MHz, there is
50 μA difference in the current between an externally applied
clock and a crystal resonator when operating with a DV
3 V. With DV

and resonators at this frequency tend to be low and, as a result
there tends to be little difference between different crystal and
sonator types.
re
When operating with a clock frequency of 1 MHz, the ESR
value for different crystal types varies significantly. As a result,
the current drain varies across crystal types. When using a
crystal with an ESR of 700 Ω or when using a ceramic resonator,
the increase in the typical current over an externally applied
clock is 20 μA with DV
= 3 V and 200 μA with DVDD = 5 V.
DD
When using a crystal with an ESR of 3 kΩ, the increase in the
typical current over an externally applied clock is again 100 μA
with DV
= 3 V but 400 μA with DVDD = 5 V.
DD
The on-chip oscillator circuit also has a start-up time associated
with it before it is oscillating at its correct frequency and correct
voltage levels. Typical start-up times with DV
= 5 V are 6 ms
DD
using a 4.9512 MHz crystal, 16 ms with a 2.4576 MHz crystal
and 20 ms with a 1 MHz crystal oscillator. Start-up times are
typically 20% slower when the power supply voltage is reduced
to 3 V. At 3 V supplies, depending on the loading capacitances
on the MCLK pins, a 1 MΩ feedback resistor may be required
across the crystal or resonator to keep the start-up times around
the 20 ms duration.
The AD7707’s master clock appears on the MCLK OUT pin of
the device. The maximum recommended load on this pin is one
CMOS load. When using a crystal or ceramic resonator to generate
the AD7707’s clock, it may be desirable to use this clock as the
clock source for the system. In this case, it is recommended that
the MCLK OUT signal is buffered with a CMOS buffer before
being applied to the rest of the circuit.
SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION
The FSYNC bit of the setup register allows the user to reset the
modulator and digital filter without affecting any of the setup
conditions on the part. This allows the user to start gathering
samples of the analog input from a known point in time, that is,
when the FSYNC

ith a 1 in the FSYNC bit of the setup register, the digital filter
and analog modulator are held in a known reset state and the
part is not processing any input samples. When a 0 is then
written to the FSYNC bit, the modulator and filter are taken out
of this reset state and the part starts to gather samples again on
the next master clock edge.
The FSYNC input can also be used as a software start convert
command allowing the AD7707 to be operated in a conventional
converter fashion. In this mode, writing to the FSYNC bit starts
conversion and the falling edge of
version is complete. The disadvantage of this scheme is that the
settling time of the filter has to be taken into account for every
data register update. This means that the rate at which the data
register is updated is three times slower in this mode.

STANDBY MODE
The STBY bit in the communications register of the AD7707
allows the user to place the part in a power-down mode when it
is not required to provide conversion results. The AD7707
retains the contents of all its on-chip registers (including the
data register) while in standby mode. When released from
standby mode, the part starts to process data and a new word is
available in the data register in 3 × 1/output rate from when a 0

Placing the part in standby mode reduces the total current to
9 μA typical with 5 V supplies and 4 μA with 3 V supplies when
the part is operated from an external master clock provided this
master clock is stopped. If the external clock continues to drive
the MCLK IN pin in standby mode, the standby current increases
to 150 μA typical with 5 V supplies and 75 μA typical with 3 V
supplies. If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the clock
source, the total current in standby mode is 400 μA typical with
5 V supplies and 90 μA with 3 V supplies. This is because the
on-chip oscillator circuit continues to run when the part is in its
standby mode. This is important in applications where the system
clock is provided by the AD7707’s clock, so that the AD7707
produces an uninterrupted master clock even when it is in its
standby mode. The serial interface remains operational when in
standby mode so that data can be read from the output register
in standby, regardless of whether or not the master clock is stopped.
ACCURACY
Σ-Δ ADCs, like voltage–to-frequency converters (VFCs) and
other integrating ADCs, do not contain any source of
nonmonotonicity and inherently offer no missing codes
performance. The AD7707 achieves excellent linearity by the
use of high quality, on-chip capacitors that have a very low
capacitance/voltage coefficient. The device also achieves low
input drift through the use of chopper-stabilized techniques in
its input stage. To ensure excellent performance over time and
temperature, the AD7707 uses digital calibration techniques
that minimize offset and gain error.
DRIFT CONSIDERATIONS
Charge injection in the analog switches and dc leakage currents
at the sampling modes are the primary sources of offset voltage
drift in the converter. The dc input leakage current is essentially
independent of the selected gain. Gain drift within the converter
depends primarily upon the temperature tracking of the internal
capacitors. It is not affected by leakage currents.
Measurement errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be
eliminated at any time by recalibrating the converter. Using the
system calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors
in the signal conditioning circuitry. Integral and differential
linearity errors are not significantly affected by temperature
changes.

If this is not possible, the current that flows in any of these pins

SUPPLY CURRENT
The current consumption on the AD7707 is specified for supplies
in the range 2.7 V to 3.3 V and in the range 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The
part operates over a 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range and the I
the part varies as the supply voltage varies over this range. There is
an internal current boost bit on the AD7707 that is set internally
in accordance with the operating conditions. This affects the

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Because the analog inputs and reference input are differential,
most of the voltages in the analog modulator are commonmode voltages. The excellent common-mode rejection of the
part removes common-mode noise on these inputs. The digital
filter provides rejection of broadband noise on the power
supplies, except at integer multiples of the modulator sampling
frequency. The digital filter also removes noise from the analog
and reference inputs provided UIBUthose noise sources do not
aturate the analog modulator. As a result, the AD7707 is more
s
immune to noise interference than a conventional high
resolution converter. However, because the resolution of the
AD7707 is so high, and the noise levels from the AD7707 so
low, care must be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7707 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the
use of ground planes, which can be separated easily. A
minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes
because it gives the best shielding. Digital and analog ground
planes should only be joined in one place to avoid ground
loops. If the AD7707 is in a system where multiple devices
require AGND-to-DGND connections, the connection should
be made at one point only, a star ground point, which should be
established as close as possible to the AD7707.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these may
couple noise onto the analog circuitry within the AD7707. The
analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7707
to reduce noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7707
should use wide traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce
the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching
signals like clocks should be shielded with digital ground to
avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board and clock
signals should never be run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover
of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board
should run at right angles to each other. This reduces the effects
of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far
the best, but is not always possible with a double-sided board.
In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated
to ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution ADCs.
All analog supplies should be decoupled with a 10 μF tantalum
capacitor in parallel with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors to AGND.
To achieve the best performance from these decoupling
components, they must be placed as close as possible to the
device, ideally right up against the device. All logic chips should
be decoupled with 0.1 μF disc ceramic capacitors to DGND.

AD7707
DIGITAL INTERFACE
As previously outlined, the AD7707’s programmable functions
are controlled using a set of on-chip registers. Data is written to
these registers via the part’s serial interface and read access to
the on-chip registers is also provided by this interface. All communications to the part must start with a write operation to the
RESET
communications register. After power-on or
expects a write to its communications register. The data written to
this register determines whether the next operation to the part
is a read or a write operation and also determines to which register
this read or write operation occurs. Therefore, write access to
any of the other registers on the part starts with a write operation to
the communications register followed by a write to the selected
register. A read operation from any other register on the part
(including the data register) starts with a write operation to the
communications register followed by a read operation from the
selected register.

least 32 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset. This ensures
that in 3-wire systems, if the interface is lost either via a
software error or by a glitch in the system, it can be reset back
to a known state. This state returns the interface to where the
AD7707 is expecting a write operation to its communications
register. This operation in itself does not reset the contents of
any registers but because the interface was lost, the information
written to any of the registers is unknown and it is advisable to
set up all registers again.
Some microprocessor or microcontroller serial interfaces have a
single serial data line. In this case, it is possible to connect the
AD7707’s DATA OUT and DATA IN lines together and connect
them to the single data line of the processor. A 10 kΩ pull-up
resistor should be used on this single data line. In this case, if
the interface is lost, because the read and write operations share
the same line, the procedure to reset it back to a known state is
somewhat different than previously described. It requires a read
operation of 24 serial clocks followed by a write operation

CONFIGURING THE AD7707
The AD7707 contains six on-chip registers that the user can
accesses via the serial interface. Communication with any of
these registers is initiated by writing to the communications
register first. Figure 22 outlines a flow diagram of the sequence
used to configure all registers after a power-up or reset on the
AD7707. The flowchart also shows two different read options—

The AD7707’s flexible serial interface allows for easy interface
to most microcomputers and microprocessors. The flowchart of
Figure 22 outlines the sequence that should be followed when
interfacing a microcontroller or microprocessor to the AD7707.
Figure 23 and Figure 24 show some typical interface circuits.
The serial interface on the AD7707 is capable of operating from
just three wires and is compatible with SPI interface protocols.
The 3-wire operation makes the part ideal for isolated systems in
which minimizing the number of interface lines also minimizes
the number of opto-isolators required in the system. The serial
clock input is a Schmitt-triggered input to accommodate slow
edges from optocouplers. The rise and fall times of other digital
inputs to the AD7707 should be no longer than 1 μs.
Most of the registers on the AD7707 are 8-bit registers, which
facilitates easy interfacing to the 8-bit serial ports of microcontrollers. The data register on the AD7707 is 16 bits, and the
zero-scale and full-scale calibration registers are 24-bit registers
but data transfers to these registers can consist of multiple 8-bit
transfers to the serial port of the microcontroller. DSP processors
and microprocessors generally transfer 16 bits of data in a serial
data operation. Some of these processors, such as the ADSP-2105,
have the facility to program the amount of cycles in a serial
transfer. This allows the user to tailor the number of bits in any
transfer to match the register length of the required register in
the AD7707.
Even though some of the registers on the AD7707 are only eight
bits in length, communicating with two of these registers in
successive write operations can be handled as a single 16-bit
data transfer if required. For example, if the setup register is to
be updated, the processor must first write to the communications
register (indicating that the next operation is a write to the
setup register) and then write eight bits to the setup register. If
required, this can all be performed in a single 16-bit transfer
because once the eight serial clocks of the write operation to the
communications register have been completed, the part
immediately sets itself up for a write operation to the setup
register.

The 68HC11 is configured in master mode with its CPOL bit
set to a Logic 1 and its CPHA bit set to a Logic 1. When the
68HC11 is configured like this, its SCLK line idles high between
data transfers. The AD7707 is not capable of full duplex operation.
If the AD7707 is configured for a write operation, no data appears
on the DATA OUT lines even when the SCLK input is active.
Similarly, if the AD7707 is configured for a read operation, data
presented to the part on the DATA IN line is ignored even when
SCLK is active.

data transfers. The 8XC51 outputs the LSB first in a write
operation; however, the AD7707 expects the MSB first so the
data to be transmitted must be rearranged before being written
to the output serial register. Similarly, the AD7707 outputs the MSB
first during a read operation; however, the 8XC51 expects the
LSB first. Therefore, the data read into the serial buffer must be
rearranged before the correct data word from the AD7707 is
available in the accumulator.

CODE FOR SETTING UP THE AD7707
The C Code for Interfacing AD7707 to 68HC11 section gives a
set of read and write routines in C code for interfacing the
68HC11 microcontroller to the AD7707. The sample program
sets up the various registers on the AD7707 and reads 1000
samples from the part into the 68HC11. The setup conditions
on the part are exactly the same as those outlined for the
flowchart of Figure 22. In the example code given here, the
DRDY
output is polled to determine if a new valid word is
available in the data register.
The sequence of the events in this program are as follows:

(AIN1) as the active channel and setting the next operation
to be a write to the clock register.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The AD7707 provides a low cost, high resolution analog-todigital function with two low level input channels and one high
level input channel. Because the analog-to-digital function is
provided by a Σ-Δ architecture, it makes the part more immune
to noisy environments, thus making the part ideal for use in
industrial and process control applications. It also provides
a programmable gain amplifier, a digital filter and calibration
options. Thus, it provides far more system level functionality
than off-the-shelf integrating ADCs without the disadvantage
of having to supply a high quality integrating capacitor. In addition,
using the AD7707 in a system allows the system designer to achieve
a much higher level of resolution because noise performance of
the AD7707 is better than that of the integrating ADCs.
The on-chip PGA allows the AD7707 to handle an analog input
voltage ranges as low as 10 mV full scale with V
= 1.25 V.
REF
The pseudo differential input capability of the low level channel
allows this analog input range to have an absolute value anywhere
between AGND − 100 mV and AV
+ 30 mV when the part is
DD
operated in unbuffered mode. It allows the user to connect the
transducer directly to the input of the AD7707.
In addition, the 3-wire digital interface on the AD7707 allows
data acquisition front ends to be isolated with just three wires.
The AD7707 can be operated from a single 3 V or 5 V, and its
low power operation ensures that very little power needs to be
brought across the isolation barrier in an isolated application.
DATA ACQUISITION
Figure 25 shows a data acquisition system in which the low level
input channel is used to digitize signals from a thermocouple
and the high level input channel converts process control signals
up to ±10 V in amplitude. This application shows the high level
input channel being used to convert a number of input signals
provided through an external mux controlled by the system
microcontroller. Switching channels on the external multiplexer
is equivalent to providing a step change on the AIN3 input. It takes
three or four updates before the correct output code corresponding to the new analog input appears at the output. Therefore,
when switching between channels on the external mux, the first
three outputs should be ignored following the channel change,
or the FSYNC bit in the setup register should be used to reset
the digital filter, and ensure that the
DRDY
is set high until a
valid result is available in the output register.
SMART VALVE/ACTUATOR CONTROL
Another area where the low power, single supply and high
voltage input capability is of benefit is in smart valve and
actuator control circuits. The AD7707 monitors the signal from
the control valve. The controller and the AD7707 form a closedloop control circuit. Figure 26 shows a block diagram of a smart
actuator control circuit, which includes the AD7707. The AD7707
monitors the valve position via a high quality servo potentiometer
whose output is ±10 V.
Similar applications for the AD7707 include smart transmitters
(see Figure 27). Here, the entire smart transmitter must operate
from the 4 mA to 20 mA loop.
Tolerances in the loop mean that the amount of current available to power the transmitter is as low as 3.5 mA. The AD7707
consumes only 280 μA, leaving at least 3 mA available for the
rest of the transmitter. Figure 27 shows a block diagram of a
smart transmitter, which includes the AD7707.

AD7707
PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
Other typical applications for the AD7707 include temperature
and pressure measurement. Figure 28 shows the AD7707 used
with a pressure transducer, the BP01 from Sensym. The pressure
transducer is arranged in a bridge network and gives a differential
output voltage between its OUT(+) and OUT(−) terminals.
With rated full-scale pressure (in this case 300
ansducer, the differential output voltage is 3 mV/V of the input
tr
mmHg) on the
voltage (that is, the voltage between its IN(+) and IN(−) terminals). Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full-scale output
range from the transducer is 15 mV. The low level input channels
are ideal for this type of low signal measurement application.
The excitation voltage for the bridge is also used to generate the
reference voltage for the AD7707. Therefore, variations in the
excitation voltage do not introduce errors in the system. Choosing
resistor values of 24 kΩ and 15 kΩ, as per Figure 28, gives a 1.92 V
reference voltage for the AD7707 when the excitation voltage is 5 V.
Using the part with a programmed gain of 128 results in the
full-scale input span of the AD7707 being 15 mV, which
corresponds with the output span from the transducer.

the front end. Cold conjunction compensation is implemented
using the AD590 temperature transducer that produces an
output current proportional to absolute temperature.

RTD MEASUREMENT
Figure 30 shows another temperature measurement application
for the AD7707. In this case, the transducer is an RTD (resistive
temperature device), a PT100. The arrangement is a 4-lead RTD
configuration. There are voltage drops across the lead
resistances, R
mode voltage. There is no voltage drop across lead resistances
and RL3 because the input current to the AD7707 is very low.

L2
The lead resistances present a small source impedance so it is
generally not necessary to turn on the buffer on the AD7707.
If the buffer is required, the common-mode voltage should be
set accordingly by inserting a small resistance between the bottom
end of the RTD and GND of the AD7707. In the application
shown, an external 400 μA current source provides the excitation
current for the PT100 and generates the reference voltage GPS
the AD7707 via the 6.25 kΩ resistor. Variations in the excitation
current do not affect the circuit because both the input voltage
08691-028
and the reference voltage vary radiometrically with the
excitation current. However, the 6.25 kΩ resistor must have a low
temperature coefficient to avoid errors in the reference voltage over
temperature.

CHART RECORDERS
Another area where both high and low level input channels are
usually found is in chart recorder applications. Circular chart
recorders generally have two requirements. The first utilizes the
low level input channels of the AD7707 to measure inputs from
thermocouples, RTDs, and pressure sensors. The second
requirement is to be able to measure dc input voltage ranges up
to ±10 V. The high level input channel is ideally suited to this
measurement because there is no external signal conditioning
required to accommodate these high level input signals.
ACCOMMODATING VARIOUS HIGH LEVEL INPUT
RANGES
The high level input channel, AIN3 can accommodate input
nals from −11 V to +30 V on its input. This is achieved using
sig
on-chip thin film resistors that map the signal on AIN3 into a
usable range for the AD7707. The input structure is arranged so
that the Σ-Δ converter sees the same impedance at its AIN(+)
and AIN(−) inputs. The signal on the AIN3 input is referenced
to the HICOM input and the VBIAS signal is used to adjust the
common-mode voltage at the modulator input. In normal 5 V
operation, VBIAS is normally connected to 2.5 V and HICOM
is connected to AGND. This arrangement ensures that the
voltages seen at the modulator input are within the commonmode range of the buffer.
The differential voltage, AIN, seen by the AD7707 when using
the high level input channel is the difference between AIN3(+)
and AIN3(−), as shown in Figure 31, and must remain within
the absolute common-mode range of the modulator.

TYPICAL INPUT CURRENTS
When using the high level input channel, power dissipation is
determined by the currents flowing in the AIN3, VBIAS, and
HICOM inputs. The voltage level applied to these inputs
determines whether the external source driving these inputs
needs to sink or source current. Tab le 3 0 shows the currents
associated with the ±10 V input range. These inputs should be
driven from a low impedance source in all applications to
prevent significant gain errors being introduced.

OUTPUT NOISE FOR HIGH LEVEL INPUT CHANNEL, AIN3
5 V OPERATION
Specified high level input voltage ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to
+10 V, and 0 V to +5 V only utilize two gain different gain settings
(gains of 2 and 4) out of the eight possible settings available
within the PGA. Tabl e 31 and Ta ble 3 2 show what the high level
channel performance actually is over the complete range of gain
settings. Table 3 1 shows the AD7707 output rms noise and
peak-to-peak resolution for the selectable notch and −3 dB
frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1, and FS2 of the
clock register. The numbers are given for all input ranges with a
of 2.5 V, HBIAS = 2.5 V, HICOM = AGND, and AVDD = 5 V.

These numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input
voltage of 0 V for buffered mode of operation. Tabl e 32
meanwhile shows the rms and peak-to-peak resolution for
buffered mode of operation. It is important to note that these

numbers represent the resolution for which there is no code
flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise but on peakto-peak noise. The output noise comes from two sources. The
first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device
noise) used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly,
when the analog input is converted into the digital domain,
quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level
and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts
at an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency
to become the dominant noise source. The numbers in Ta b le 3 1
and Tabl e 32 are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the
unipolar ranges, the rms noise numbers are the same as the
bipolar range, but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half
the signal range, which effectively means losing one bit of
resolution.

the resolution for which there is no code flicker. They are not
calculated based on rms noise but on peak-to-peak noise. The
