GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7992 is a 12-bit, low power, successive approximation
ADC with an I
a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and features a 2 µs conversion time. The part contains a 2-channel multiplexer and trackand-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies up to
11 MHz.
The AD7992 provides a 2-wire serial interface compatible with
2
C interfaces. The part comes in two versions, the AD7992-0
I
and the AD7992-1, and each version allows for at least two
different I
2
C interface modes, and the AD7992-1 supports standard,
fast I
fast, and high speed I
The AD7992 normally remains in a shutdown state while not
converting, and powers up only for conversions. The conversion
process can be controlled using the
command mode where conversions occur across I
operations, or an automatic conversion interval mode selected
through software control.
The AD7992 requires an external reference in the range of 1.2 V
. This allows the widest dynamic input range to the ADC.

DD
On-chip limit registers can be programmed with high and low
limits for the conversion result, and an open-drain, out-ofrange indicator output (ALERT) becomes active when the
conversion result violates the programmed high or low limits.
This output can be used as an interrupt.

TERMINOLOGY
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
The measured ratio of signal-to-noise and distortion at the
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of
the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals
up to half the sampling frequency (f
/2), excluding dc. The ratio
S
is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. The theoretical signal-to-noise and distortion ratio for
an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Thus, the SINAD is 74 dB for a 12-bit converter.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For
the AD7992, it is defined as
22222
VVVVV
++++
65432

where V
V
is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3,
1
, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through

V
sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
The ratio of the rms value of the next largest component in the
ADC output spectrum (up to f
/2 and excluding dc) to the rms
S
value of the fundamental. Typically, the value of this specification
is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, it is a
noise peak.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa
and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms
are those for which neither m nor n equal zero. For example,
second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), while
third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb),(fa + 2fb), and
(fa − 2fb).
The AD7992 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves while the third-order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of intermodulation distortion is,
like the THD specification, the ratio of the rms sum of the
individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum
of the fundamentals, expressed in dB.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
A measure of the level of crosstalk between channels, taken
by applying a full-scale sine wave signal to the unselected input
channels, and determining how much the 108 Hz signal is
attenuated in the selected channel. The sine wave signal applied
to the unselected channels is then varied from 1 kHz up to
2 MHz, each time determining how much the 108 Hz signal in
the selected channel is attenuated. This figure represents the
worst-case level across all channels.
Aperture Delay
The measured interval between the sampling clock’s leading
edge and the point at which the ADC takes the sample.
Aperture Jitter
The sample-to-sample variation in the effective point in time
when the sample is taken.
Full-Power Bandwidth
The input frequency at which the amplitude of the reconstructed
fundamental is reduced by 0.1 dB or 3 dB for a full-scale input.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)

frequency, f, to the power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied

Integral Nonlinearity
The maximum deviation from a straight line passing through
the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints are

A
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7992 is a low power, 12-bit, single-supply, 2-channel
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The part can be operated
from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.
The AD7992 provides the user with a 2-channel multiplexer,
an on-chip track-and-hold, an ADC, an on-chip oscillator,
internal data registers, and an I
2
C-compatible serial interface,
all housed in a 10-lead MSOP package that offers the user
considerable space-saving advantages over alternative solutions.
The AD7992 requires an external reference in the range of 1.2 V
.
to V
DD
The AD7992 normally remains in a power-down state while not
converting. When supplies are first applied, the part comes up
in a power-down state. Power-up is initiated prior to a conversion, and the device returns to power-down upon
completion of the conversion. Conversions can be initiated on
the AD7992 by pulsing the
CONVST
signal, using an automatic
cycle interval mode or a command mode where wake-up and a
conversion occur during a write address function (see the
Modes of Operation section). On completion of a conversion,
the AD7992 again enters power-down mode. This automatic
power-down feature allows power saving between conversions.
2
This means any read or write operations across the I
C interface
can occur while the device is in power-down.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7992 is a successive approximation, analog-to-digital
converter based around a capacitive DAC. Figure 17 and
Figure 18 show simplified schematics of the ADC during its
acquisition and conversion phases, respectively. Figure 17 shows
the ADC during its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is
in position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition,
and the sampling capacitor acquires the signal on V

When the ADC starts a conversion, as shown in Figure 18,
SW2 opens and SW1 moves to position B, causing the
comparator to become unbalanced. The input is disconnected
once the conversion begins. The control logic and the capacitive
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from
the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a
balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the
conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC
output code. Figure 19 shows the ADC transfer function.

AD7992
TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 21 shows the typical connection diagram for the
AD7992. In Figure 21, the address select pin (AS) is tied to V
however AS can also be tied to AGND or left floating, allowing
the user to select up to five AD7992 devices on the same serial
bus. An external reference must be applied to the AD7992.
This reference can be in the range of 1.2 V to V
. A precision
DD
reference like the REF 19x family, ADR03, or ADR381 can be
used to supply the reference voltage to the ADC. The AD7992
can be configured to be a single-channel device with the
reference voltage applied to the V
2/REFIN pin. The AD7992
IN
can also be configured as a dual-channel device where the
reference voltage is taken from the supply voltage V
2/REFIN takes on its analog input function,VIN2.

The AD7992-0 supports standard and fast I
C interface modes.
The AD7992-1 supports standard, fast, and high speed I
interface modes. Therefore, if operating the AD7992 in either
standard or fast mode, up to five AD7992 devices can be
connected to the bus (3 × AD7992-0 and 2 × AD7992-1 or
3 × AD7992-1 and 2 × AD7992-0). In high speed mode, up to
three AD7992-1 devices can be connected to the bus.
Wake up from power-down prior to a conversion is approximately 1 µs, and conversion time is approximately 2 µs. The
AD7992 enters shutdown mode again after each conversion,
which is useful in applications where power consumption is a
concern.

input structure. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD
protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken to ensure
that the analog input signal does not exceed the supply rails
by more than 300 mV. This causes these diodes to become
forward-biased and start conducting current into the substrate.
These diodes can conduct a maximum current of 10 mA
without causing irreversible damage to the part.

Figure 20. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
Capacitor C1 in Figure 20 is typically about 4 pF and can
primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance (R
a track-and-hold switch, and also the R
of the input multi-
ON

) of
plexer. The total resistor is typically about 400 Ω. C2, the ADC
sampling capacitor, has a typical capacitance of 30 pF.
For ac applications, removing high frequency components from
the analog input signal is recommended by use of an RC bandpass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications
where harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio are critical,
the analog input should be driven from a low impedance
source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac
performance of the ADC. This may necessitate the use of an
input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp is a function
of the particular application.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum
source impedance depends on the amount of total harmonic
distortion (THD) that can be tolerated. THD increases as the
source impedance increases, and performance degrades.
Figure 22 shows the THD vs. the analog input signal frequency
when using supply voltages of 3 V ± 10% and 5 V ± 10%.

ADDRESS POINTER REGISTER
Because it is the register to which the first data byte of every
write operation is written automatically, the address pointer
register does not have and does not require an address. The
address pointer register is an 8-bit register in which the 4 LSBs
are used as pointer bits to store an address that points to one of
the AD7992’s data registers. The 4 MSBs are used as command
bits when operating in Mode 2 (see the Modes of Operation
section). The first byte following each write address is the
address of one of the data registers, which is stored in the
address pointer register and selects the data register to which
subsequent data bytes are written. Only the 4 LSBs of this
register are used to select a data register. On power-up, the
address pointer register contains all 0s, pointing to the
conversion result register.
The configuration register is a 8-bit, read/write register that is used to set the operating modes of the AD7992. The MSB of the register is
unused and is a don’t care bit. The bit functions of the configuration register are outlined in Table 9. A single-byte write is necessary when
writing to the configuration register.
Table 9. Configuration Register Bit Function Descriptions and Default Settings at Power-Up
The value written to this bit determines the functionality of the V
conversions. When this bit is 1, the pin takes on its reference input function, REF
channel part with the reference being taken from the REF
conversion, the reference can also be taken from the supply voltage by setting D6 to 0. When this bit is a 0, the
V
IN
reference being taken from the supply voltage. See Table 10.
D5, D4 CH2, CH1
These two channel address bits select which analog input channel is to be converted. A 1 in any of Bits D5 or D4
selects a channel for conversion. If more than one channel bit is set (with D6 = 0), the alternating channel
sequence is used. Table 10 shows how these two channel address bits are decoded. If D5 is selected, the part
operates in dual-channel mode, with the reference for the ADC being taken from the supply voltage (D6 set to 0
for dual-channel mode).
D3 FLTR
The value written to this bit of the control register determines whether the filtering on SDA and SCL is enabled or
is bypassed. If this bit is a 1, the the filtering is enabled; if it is a 0, the filtering is bypassed.
D2 ALERT EN
The hardware ALERT function is enabled if this bit is set to 1 and disabled if this bit is set to 0. This bit is used in
conjunction with the BUSY/ALERT bit to determine if the ALERT/BUSY pin acts as an ALERT or a BUSY output
(see Table 11).
D1 BUSY/ALERT
This bit is used in conjunction with the ALERT EN bit to determine if the ALERT/BUSY pin acts as an ALERT or
BUSY output (see Table 11), and if configured as an ALERT output pin, if it is to be reset.
D0

AD7992
CONVERSION RESULT REGISTER
The conversion result register is a 16-bit, read-only register that
stores the conversion result from the ADC in straight binary
format. A 2-byte read is needed to read data from this register.
Table 12 shows the contents of the first byte to be read from the
AD7992, and Table 13 shows the contents of the second byte.

B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0
The AD7992 conversion result consists of an Alert_Flag bit, two
leading zeros, a channel identifier bit, and the 12-bit data result.
The Alert_Flag bit indicates whether the conversion result
being read or any other channel result has violated the limit
registers associated with it. If an ALERT occurs, the master may
wish to read the ALERT status register to obtain more information on where the ALERT occurred if the Alert_Flag bit is set.
The Alert_Flag bit is followed by two leading zeros and a
channel identifier bit that indicate to which channel the conversion result corresponds. When this bit is 0, the conversion
result corresponds to V
result corresponds to V
1, and when it is 1, the conversion

12-bit conversion result, MSB first.
LIMIT REGISTERS
The AD7992 has two pairs of limit registers. Each pair stores
high and low conversion limits for both analog input channels.
Each pair of limit registers has one associated hysteresis register.
All 6 registers are 16 bits wide; only the 12 LSBs of the registers
are used. On power-up, the contents of the DATA
for each channel are full scale, while the contents of the
DATA
The limit registers can be used to monitor the conversion
results on one or both channels. The AD7992 signals an
ALERT (in either hardware or software or both, depending
on the configuration) if the result moves outside the upper or
lower limit set by the user.
DATA
The DATA
register; only the 12 LSBs of each register are used. This register
stores the upper limit that activates the ALERT output and/or
the Alert_Flag bit in the conversion result register. If the value

DATA
result returns to a value at least N LSB below the DATA
register value, the ALERT output pin and Alert_Flag bit are

Hysteresis Register (CH1/CH2)
Each hysteresis register is a 16-bit read/write register; only
the 12 LSBs of the register are used. The hysteresis register
stores the hysteresis value, N, when using the limit registers.
Each pair of limit registers has a dedicated hysteresis register.
The hysteresis value determines the reset point for the ALERT
pin/Alert_Flag if a violation of the limits has occurred. For
example, if a hysteresis value of 8 LSB is required on the
upper and lower limits of Channel 1, the 16 bit word,
0000 0000 0000 1000, should be written to the hysteresis
register of CH1 (see Table 8 for the address of this register).
On power-up, the hysteresis registers contain a value of 8 LSB.
If a different hysteresis value is required, that value must be
written to the hysteresis register for the channel in question.

Using the Limit Registers to Store Min/Max Conversion
Results
If full scale—that is, all 1s—is written to the hysteresis register
for a particular channel, the DATA
and DATA
HIGH
registers
LOW
for that channel no longer act as limit registers as previously
described, but instead act as storage registers for the maximum
and minimum conversion results returned from conversions on
a channel over any given period of time. This function is useful
in applications where the widest span of actual conversion
results is required rather than using the ALERT to signal that an
intervention is necessary—for example, when monitoring
temperature extremes during refrigerated goods transportation.
Note that on power-up, the contents of the DATA
HIGH
register
for each channel are full scale, while the contents of the
DATA
registers are zero scale by default. Therefore, min-
LOW
imum and maximum conversion values being stored in this
way are lost if power is removed or cycled.
ALERT STATUS REGISTER
The alert status register is an 8-bit read/write register that
provides information on an alert event. If a conversion results in
activating the ALERT pin or Alert_Flag bit in the conversion
result register (see the Limit Registers section) the alert status
register may be read to gain further information. It contains
two status bits per channel, one corresponding to each of the
DATA
and DATA
HIGH
where the violation occurred—that is, on which channel—and
whether the violation occurred on the upper or lower limit.
If a second alert event occurs on the other channel between
receiving the first alert and interrogating the alert status
register, the corresponding bit for that alert event is also set.
The entire contents of the alert status register can be cleared by
writing 1,1 to Bits D2 and D1 in the configuration register, as
shown in Table 11. This can also be achieved by writing all 1s to
the alert status register itself. Thus, if the alert status register is
addressed for a write operation, which is all 1s, the contents of
the alert status register are cleared or reset to all 0s.

CYCLE TIMER REGISTER
The cycle timer register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores
the conversion interval value for the automatic cycle mode of
the AD7992 (see the Modes of Operation section). The 5 MSBs
of the cycle timer register are unused and should contain 0s at
all times (see the Sample Delay and Bit Trial Delay section). On
power-up, the cycle timer register contains all 0s, thus disabling
automatic cycle operation of the AD7992. To enable automatic
cycle mode, the user must write to the cycle timer register,
selecting the required conversion interval. Table 22 shows the
structure of the cycle timer register, while Table 23 shows how
the bits in this register are decoded to provide various
automatic sampling intervals.

SAMPLE DELAY AND BIT TRIAL DELAY
It is recommended that no I2C bus activity occurs when a
conversion is taking place. However, this may not be possible,
for example, when operating in Mode 2 or the automatic cycle
mode. In order to maintain the performance of the ADC in
such cases, Bits D7 and D6 in the cycle timer register are used
to delay critical sample intervals and bit trials from occurring
while there is activity on the I
increasing the conversion time. When Bits D7 and D6 are both
0, the bit trial and sample interval delaying mechanism are
implemented. The default setting of D7 and D6 is 0. If bit trial
delays extend longer than 1 µs, the conversion terminates.
When D7 is 0, the sampling instant delay is implemented.
When D6 is 0, the bit trial delay is implemented. To turn off
both the sample delay and bit trial delay, set D7 and D6 to 1.

AD7992
SERIAL INTERFACE
Control of the AD7992 is carried out via the I2C-compatible
serial bus. The AD7992 is connected to this bus as a slave device
under the control of a master device, such as the processor.
SERIAL BUS ADDRESS
Like all I2C-compatible devices, the AD7992 has a 7-bit serial
address. The 3 MSBs of this address for the AD7992 are set to
010. The device comes in two versions, the AD7992-0 and the
AD7992-1. The two versions have three different I
available, which are selected by either tying the address select
pin, AS, to AGND or V
Table 6). By giving different addresses for the two versions, up
to five AD7992 devices can be connected to a single serial bus,
or the addresses can be set to avoid conflicts with other devices
on the bus.
The serial bus protocol operates as follows.
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a START
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line SDA, while the serial clock line, SCL, remains high.
This indicates that an address/data stream follows. All slave
peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the START
condition and shift in the next eight bits, consisting of a 7-bit
address (MSB first) plus an R/
direction of the data transfer—that is, whether data is written to
or read from the slave device.
, or by letting the pin float (refer to
DD
bit that determines the
W
2
C addresses
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit from
the receiver of data. Transitions on the data line must occur
during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable
during the high period, because a low-to-high transition when
the clock is high may be interpreted as a STOP signal.
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions
are established. In write mode, the master pulls the data line
high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a STOP condition. In
read mode, the master device pulls the data line high during the
low period before the ninth clock pulse. This is known as no
acknowledge. The master then takes the data line low during
the low period before the 10th clock pulse, then high during the
10th clock pulse to assert a STOP condition.
Any number of bytes of data may be transferred over the serial
bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read and write
in one operation because the type of operation is determined at
the beginning and cannot subsequently be changed without
starting a new operation.
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the data line low during the low
period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the acknowledge
bit. All other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected
device waits for data to be read from or written to it. If the R/
bit is a 0, the master writes to the slave device. If the R/
a 1, the master reads from the slave device.

AD7992
WRITING TO THE AD7992
Depending on the register being written to, there are three
different writes for the AD7992.
WRITING TO THE ADDRESS POINTER REGISTER
FOR A SUBSEQUENT READ
In order to read from a particular register, the address pointer
register must first contain the address of that register. If it does
not, the correct address must be written to the address pointer
register by performing a single-byte write operation, as shown
in Figure 25. The write operation consists of the serial bus
address followed by the address pointer byte. No data is
written to any of the data registers. A read operation can be
subsequently performed to read the register of interest.
191 9
SCL
WRITING A SINGLE BYTE OF DATA TO THE ALERT
STATUS REGISTER, CYCLE REGISTER, OR
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The alert status register, cycle register, and configuration
register are all 8-bit registers, so only one byte of data can be
written to each. Writing a single byte of data to one of these
registers consists of the serial bus write address, the chosen
data register address written to the address pointer register,
followed by the data byte written to the selected data register.

WRITING TWO BYTES OF DATA TO A LIMIT
REGISTER OR HYSTERESIS REGISTER
Each of the limit registers and hysteresis registers are 12-bit
registers, so two bytes of data are required to write a value to
any one of them. Writing two bytes of data to one of these
registers consists of the serial bus write address, the chosen
limit register address written to the address pointer register,
followed by two data bytes written to the selected data register.
See Figure 27.

If the master is write-addressing the AD7992, it can write to
more than one register with out re-addressing the ADC. After
the first write operation has completed for the first data register,
during the next byte, the master writes to the address pointer
byte to select the next data register for a write operation. This
eliminates the need to re-address the device in order to write to
another data register.

READING DATA FROM THE AD7992
Reading data from the AD7992 is a 1- or 2-byte operation.
Reading back the contents of the alert status register, the configuration register, or the cycle timer register is a single-byte read
operation, as shown in Figure 28. This assumes the particular
register address has previously been set up by a single-byte write
operation to the address pointer register (see Figure 25). Once
the register address has been set up, any number of reads can
be performed from that particular register without having to
write to the address pointer register again. If a read from a
different register is required, the relevant register address has
to be written to the address pointer register, and again any
number of reads from this register may then be performed.

Reading data from the conversion result register, DATA

operation, as shown in Figure 29. The same rules apply for a
2-byte read as a 1-byte read.
When reading data back from a register, such as the conversion
result register, if more than two read bytes are supplied, the
same or new data is read from the AD7992 without the need to
re-address the device. This allows the master to continuously
read from a data register without having to re-address the
AD7992.

ALERT/BUSY PIN
The ALERT/BUSY pin may be configured as an ALERT output
or BUSY output, as shown in Table 11.
SMBus ALERT
The AD7992 ALERT output is an SMBus interrupt line for
devices that want to trade their ability to master for an extra
pin. The AD7992 is a slave-only device and uses the SMBus
ALERT to signal the host device that it wants to talk. The
SMBus ALERT on the AD7992 is used as an out-of-conversionrange indicator (a limit violation indicator).
The ALERT pin has an open-drain configuration that allows the
ALERT outputs of several AD7992s to be wire-AND’ed together
when the ALERT pin is active low. D0 of the configuration
register is used to set the active polarity of the ALERT output.
The power-up default is active low. The ALERT function can be
disabled or enabled by setting D2 of the configuration register
to 0 or 1, respectively.
The host device can process the ALERT interrupt and simultaneously access all SMBus ALERT devices through the alert
response address. Only the device that pulled the ALERT low
acknowledges the ARA (alert response address). If more than
one device pulls the ALERT pin low, the highest priority (lowest
address) device wins communication rights via standard I
arbitration during the slave address transfer.
The ALERT output becomes active when the value in the
conversion result register exceeds the value in the DATA
register or falls below the value in the DATA
register for a
LOW
selected channel. It is reset when a write operation to the
configuration register sets D1 to a 1, or when the conversion
result returns N LSBs below or above the value stored in the
DATA
register or DATA
HIGH
register, respectively. N is the
LOW
value in the hysteresis register (see the Limit Registers section).

The ALERT output requires an external pull-up resistor that

provided the

maximum voltage rating of the ALERT output pin is not
exceeded. The value of the pull-up resistor depends on the
application, but should be as large as possible to avoid excessive
sink currents at the ALERT output.
PLACING THE AD7992-1 INTO HIGH SPEED MODE
High speed mode communication commences after the master
addresses all devices connected to the bus with the master code,
00001XXX, to indicate that a high speed mode transfer is to
begin. No device connected to the bus is allowed to acknowledge the high speed master code; therefore, the code is followed
by a not acknowledge (see Figure 30). The master must then
issue a repeated start followed by the device address with a R/
W
bit. The selected device then acknowledges its address.
All devices continue to operate in high speed mode until the
master issues a STOP condition. When the STOP condition is
issued, the devices all return to fast mode.
THE ADDRESS SELECT (AS) PIN
The address select pin on the AD7992 is used to set the I2C
address for the AD7992 device. The AS pin can be tied to V
to AGND, or left floating. The selection should be made as close
as possible to the AS pin; avoid having long tracks introducing
extra capacitance onto the pin. This is important for the float
selection, because the AS pin has to charge to a midpoint after
the start bit during the first address byte. Extra capacitance on
the AS pin increases the time taken to charge to the midpoint
and may cause an incorrect decision on the device address.
When the AS pin is left floating, the AD7992 can work with a
capacitive load up to 40 pF.

MODES OF OPERATION
When supplies are first applied to the AD7992, the ADC
powers up in sleep mode and normally remains in this
shutdown state while not converting. There are three different
methods of initiating a conversion on the AD7992.
MODE 1—USING THE CONVST PIN
A conversion can be initiated on the AD7992 by pulsing the

from or writing to the I

when the conversion takes place. To maintain the performance
of the AD7992 in this mode, it is recommended that the I

MODE 2 – COMMAND MODE
Mode 2 allows a conversion to be automatically initiated any
time a write operation occurs. In order to use this mode,
Command Bits C2 to C1 in the address pointer byte, shown in
Table 7, must be programmed. Command Bits C4 and C3 are
not used and should contain zeros at all times.
To select a channel for conversion in Mode 2, set the corresponding channel command bit in the address pointer byte
(see Table 24). To select both analog input channels for conversion, set both C1 and C2 to 1. When all four command
bits are 0, this mode is not used.
Figure 28 illustrates a 2-byte read operation from the conversion result register. Prior to the read operation, ensure that the
address pointer is pointing to the conversion result register.
When the contents of the address pointer register are being
loaded, if Command Bits C2 or C1 are set, the AD7992 begins
to power up and convert upon the selected channel(s). Powerup begins on the fifth SCL falling edge of the address point byte
(see point A in Figure 32). Table 24 shows the channel selection
in this mode via Command Bits C1 and C2 in the address
pointer register. The wake-up and conversion time together
should take approximately 3 µs, and the conversion begins
when the last Command Bit, C1, has been clocked in midway
through the write to the address pointer register. Following
this, the AD7992 must be addressed again to tell it that a read
operation is required. The read then takes place from the
conversion result register. This read accesses the result from
the conversion selected via the command bits. If Command Bits
C2, C1 are set to 1,1, a 4-byte read is necessary. The first read

operates.
After the conversion result has been read, and if further read
bytes are issued, the ADC continuously converts on the selected
input channel(s). This has the effect of increasing the overall
throughput rate of the ADC.
When operating the AD7992-1 in Mode 2 with high speed
mode, 3.4 MHz SCL, the conversion may not be complete
before the master tries to read the conversion result. In this
case, the AD7992-1 holds the SCL line low during the ACK
clock after the read address until the conversion is complete.
When the conversion is complete, the AD7992-1 releases the
SCL line and the master can then read the conversion result.
After a conversion is initiated in this mode by setting the
command bits in the address pointer byte, if the AD7992
receives a STOP or NACK from the master, the AD7992 stops
converting.

MODE 3—AUTOMATIC CYCLE MODE
An automatic conversion cycle can be selected and enabled by
writing a value to the cycle timer register. A conversion cycle
interval can be set up on the AD7992 by programming the
relevant bits in the 8-bit cycle timer register, as decoded in
Table 23. Only the 3 LSBs are used; the 5 MSBs should contain
0s (see the Sample Delay and Bit Trial Delay section). When the
3 LSBs of the register are programmed with any configuration
other than all 0s, a conversion takes place every X ms; the cycle
interval, X, depends on the configuration of these three bits in
the cycle timer register. There are seven different cycle time
intervals to choose from, as shown in Table 23. Once the
conversion has taken place, the part powers down again until
the next conversion occurs. To exit this mode of operation, the
user must program the 3 LSBs of the cycle timer register to
contain all 0s. For cycle interval options, see Table 23.
SECOND DATA BYTE
(LSBs)
To select a channel(s) for operation in cycle mode, set the
corresponding channel bit(s), D5 to D4, of the configuration
register. If more than one channel bit is set in the configuration
register, the ADC automatically cycles through the channel
sequence, starting with the lowest channel. Once the sequence
is complete, the ADC starts converting on the lowest channel
again, continuing to loop through the sequence until the cycle
timer register contents are set to all 0s. This mode is useful for
monitoring signals, such as battery voltage and temperature,
alerting only when the limits are violated.
