GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7194 is a low noise, complete analog front end for high
precision measurement applications. It contains a low noise,
24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The on-chip low noise gain stage means that signals of small
amplitude can interface directly to the ADC.
The device can be configured to have eight differential inputs or
sixteen pseudo differential inputs. The on-chip 4.92 MHz clock
can be used as the clock source to the ADC or, alternatively, an
external clock or crystal can be used. The output data rate from
the part can be varied from 4.7 Hz to 4.8 kHz.
The device has a very flexible digital filter, including a fast
settling option. Variables such as output data rate and settling
time are dependent on the option selected. For applications that
require all conversions to be settled, the AD7194 includes zero
latency.
APPLICATIONS
The part operates with a power supply from 3 V to 5.25 V. It
consumes a current of 4.65 mA, and it is housed in a 32-lead
LFCSP package.

FS[9:0] is the decimal equivalent of Bit FS9 to Bit FS0 in the mode register.
4
Following a system or internal zero-scale calibration, the offset error is in the order of the noise for the programmed gain and output data rate selected. A system
full-scale calibration reduces the gain error to the order of the noise for the programmed gain and output data rate.
5
The analog inputs are configured for differential mode.
6
REJ60 is a bit in the mode register. When the first notch of the sinc filter is at 50 Hz, a notch is placed at 60 Hz when REJ60 is set to 1. This gives simultaneous
50 Hz/60 Hz rejection.

Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of DVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
See Figure 3 and Figure 4.
3
These numbers are measured with the load circuit shown in Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
4
The SCLK active edge is the falling edge of SCLK.
5
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit shown in Figure 2. The measured number
is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the
true bus relinquish times of the part and, as such, are independent of external bus loading capacitances.
6 RDY
returns high after a read of the data register. In single conversion mode and continuous conversion mode, the same data can be read again, if required, while RDY
is high, although care should be taken to ensure that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update. If the continuous read feature is enabled, the
digital word can be read only once.

Description
Analog Supply Voltage, 3 V to 5.25 V. AVDD is independent of DVDD. Therefore, DVDD can be operated at 3 V
with AVDD at 5 V or vice versa.
Digital Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. DVDD is independent of AVDD. Therefore, AVDD can be operated at 3 V
with DVDD at 5 V or vice versa.
Logic input that allows for synchronization of the digital filters and analog modulators when using a
number of AD7194 devices. While SYNC is low, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic, and the
calibration control logic are reset, and the analog modulator is also held in its reset state. SYNC does not
affect the digital interface but does reset RDY to a high state if it is low. SYNC has a pull-up resistor
internally to DVDD.
No Connect. Do not connect to this pin.
Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDY serves a dual purpose. It functions as a serial data
output pin to access the output shift register of the ADC. The output shift register can contain data from
any of the on-chip data or control registers. In addition, DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready pin, going low
to indicate the completion of a conversion. If the data is not read after the conversion, the pin goes high
before the next update occurs. The DOUT/RDY falling edge can be used as an interrupt to a processor,
indicating that valid data is available. With an external serial clock, the data can be read using the
DOUT/RDY pin. With CS low, the data-/control-word information is placed on the DOUT/RDY pin on the
SCLK falling edge and is valid on the SCLK rising edge.
Serial Data Input to the Input Shift Register on the ADC. Data in this shift register is transferred to the
control registers in the ADC, with the register selection bits of the communications register identifying the
appropriate register.
When the master clock for the device is provided externally by a crystal, the crystal is connected between
MCLK1 and MCLK2.
Master Clock Signal for the Device. The AD7194 has an internal 4.92 MHz clock. This internal clock can be
made available on the MCLK2 pin. The clock for the AD7194 can also be provided externally in the form of
a crystal or external clock. A crystal can be tied across the MCLK1 and MCLK2 pins. Alternatively, the MCLK2
pin can be driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and with the MCLK1 pin remaining unconnected.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is for data transfers to and from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitttriggered input, making the interface suitable for opto-isolated applications. The serial clock can be
continuous with all data transmitted in a continuous train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information transmitted to or from the ADC in smaller batches of data.
Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic input used to select the ADC. CS can be used to select the
ADC in systems with more than one device on the serial bus or as a frame synchronization signal in
communicating with the device. CS can be hardwired low, allowing the ADC to operate in 3-wire mode
with SCLK, DIN, and DOUT used to interface with the device.

RMS NOISE AND RESOLUTION
is continuously converting on a single channel. It is important
to note that the effective resolution is calculated using the rms
noise, whereas the peak-to-peak resolution is calculated based
on peak-to-peak noise. The peak-to-peak resolution represents
the resolution for which there is no code flicker. With chop
enabled, the resolution improves by 0.5 bits.
The following tables show the rms noise, peak-to-peak noise,
effective resolution, and noise-free (peak-to-peak) resolution of
the AD7194 for various output data rates and gain settings with
chop disabled for the sinc4 and sinc3 filters and for fast settling
mode. The numbers given are for the bipolar input range with
an external 5 V reference. These numbers are typical and are
generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V when the ADC

COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 000
The communications register is an 8-bit write-only register. All
communications to the part must start with a write operation to
the communications register. The data written to the communications register determine whether the next operation is a read
or write operation and in which register this operation occurs. For
read or write operations, 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 ADC is in this default state waiting for a write
operation to the communications register. In situations where the
interface sequence is lost, a write operation of at least 40 serial
clock cycles with DIN high returns the ADC to this default state
by resetting the entire part. Table 16 outlines the bit designations
for the communications register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the
bit location, CR denoting that the bits are in the communications
register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number
in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of
that bit.

Description
Write enable bit. For a write to the communications register to occur, 0 must be written to this bit. If a 1 is
the first bit written, the part does not clock onto subsequent bits in the register; rather, it stays at this bit
location until a 0 is written to this bit. After a 0 is written to the WEN bit, the next seven bits are loaded to
the communications register. Idling the DIN pin high between data transfers minimizes the effects of
spurious SCLK pulses on the serial interface.
0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation is a write to a specified register.
1 in this bit position indicates that the next operation is a read from the designated register.
Register address bits. These address bits are used to select which registers of the ADC are selected during
the serial interface communication (see Table 17).
Continuous read of the data register. When this bit is set to 1 (and the data register is selected), the serial
interface is configured so that the data register can be continuously read; that is, the contents of the data
register are automatically placed on the DOUT pin when the SCLK pulses are applied after the RDY pin
goes low to indicate that a conversion is complete. The communications register does not have to be
written to for subsequent data reads. To enable continuous read, Instruction 01011100 must be written to
the communications register. To disable continuous read, Instruction 01011000 must be written to the
communications register while the RDY pin is low. While continuous read is enabled, the ADC monitors
activity on the DIN line so that it can receive the instruction to disable continuous read. Additionally, a
reset occurs if 40 consecutive 1s occur on DIN; therefore, hold DIN low until an instruction is written to
the device.
These bits must be programmed to Logic 0 for correct operation.

Description
Ready bit for the ADC. This bit is cleared when data is written to the ADC data register. The RDY bit is set
automatically after the ADC data register is read, or a period of time before the data register is updated,
with a new conversion result to indicate to the user that the conversion data should not be read. It is
also set when the part is placed in power-down mode or idle mode or when SYNC is taken low. The end
of a conversion is also indicated by the DOUT/RDY pin. This pin can be used as an alternative to the
status register for monitoring the ADC for conversion data.
ADC error bit. This bit is written to at the same time as the RDY bit. This bit is set to indicate that the
result written to the ADC data register is clamped to all 0s or all 1s. Error sources include overrange,
underrange, or the absence of a reference voltage. This bit is cleared when the result written to the data
register returns to within the allowed analog input range. The ERR bit is also set during calibrations if
the reference source is invalid or if the applied analog input voltages are outside range during system
calibrations.
No external reference bit. This bit is set to indicate that the selected reference (REFIN1 or REFIN2) is at a
voltage that is below a specified threshold. When set, conversion results are clamped to all 1s. This bit is
cleared to indicate that a valid reference is applied to the selected reference pins. The NOREF bit is enabled
by setting the REFDET bit in the configuration register to 1.
Parity check of the data register. If the ENPAR bit in the mode register is set, the parity bit is set if there is
an odd number of 1s in the data register. It is cleared if there is an even number of 1s in the data
register. The DAT_STA bit in the mode register should be set when the parity check is used. When the
DAT_STA bit is set, the contents of the status register are transmitted along with the data for each data
register read.
These bits indicate which channel corresponds to the data register contents. They do not indicate
which channel is presently being converted, but indicate which channel was selected when the
conversion contained in the data register was generated.

This bit enables the transmission of status register contents after each data register read. When DAT_STA
is set, the contents of the status register are transmitted along with each data register read. This function
is useful when several channels are selected because the status register identifies the channel to which
the data register value corresponds.
These bits select the clock source for the AD7194. Either the on-chip 4.92 MHz clock or an external clock
can be used. The ability to use an external clock allows several AD7194 devices to be synchronized. Also,
50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is improved when an accurate external clock drives the AD7194.

Fast settling filter. When this option is selected, the settling time equals one conversion time. In fast
settling mode, a first-order average and decimate block is included after the sinc filter. The data from the
sinc filter is averaged by 2, 8, or 16. The averaging reduces the output data rate for a given FS word;
however, the rms noise improves. The AVG1 and AVG0 bits select the amount of averaging. Fast settling
mode can be used for FS words less than 512 only. When the sinc3 filter is selected, the FS word must be
less than 256 when averaging by 16.

Sinc3 filter select bit. When this bit is cleared, the sinc4 filter is used (default value). When this bit is set,
the sinc3 filter is used. The benefit of the sinc3 filter compared to the sinc4 filter is its lower settling time.
For a given output data rate, fADC, the sinc3 filter has a settling time of 3/fADC whereas the sinc4 filter has
a settling time of 4/fADC when chop is disabled. The sinc4 filter, due to its deeper notches, gives better
50 Hz/60 Hz rejection. At low output data rates, both filters give similar rms noise and similar no missing
codes for a given output data rate. At higher output data rates (FS values less than 5), the sinc4 filter gives
better performance than the sinc3 filter for rms noise and no missing codes.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Enable parity bit. When ENPAR is set, parity checking on the data register is enabled. The DAT_STA bit in
the mode register should be set when the parity check is used. When the DAT_STA bit is set, the contents
of the status register are transmitted along with the data for each data register read.

Description
Clock divide-by-2. When CLK_DIV is set, the master clock is divided by 2. For normal conversions, set this
bit to 0. When performing internal full-scale calibrations, this bit must be set when AVDD is less than
4.75 V. The calibration accuracy is optimized when chop is enabled and a low output data rate is used
while performing the calibration. When AVDD is greater than or equal to 4.75 V, it is not compulsory to set
the CLK_DIV bit when performing internal full-scale calibrations.
Single cycle conversion enable bit. When this bit is set, the AD7194 settles in one conversion cycle so
that it functions as a zero latency ADC. This bit has no effect when multiple analog input channels are
enabled or when the single conversion mode is selected. If the fast-settling filter is enabled, this bit
(single) does not have an effect on the conversions unless chopping is also enabled.
This bit enables a notch at 60 Hz when the first notch of the sinc filter is at 50 Hz. When REJ60 is set, a
filter notch is placed at 60 Hz when the sinc filter first notch is at 50 Hz. This allows simultaneous 50 Hz/
60 Hz rejection.
Filter output data rate select bits. The 10 bits of data programmed into these bits determine the filter
cutoff frequency, the position of the first notch of the filter, and the output data rate for the part. In
association with the gain selection, they also determine the output noise and, therefore, the effective
resolution of the device (see Table 6 through Table 11).
When chop is disabled, fast settling mode is disabled and continuous conversion mode is selected
Output Data Rate = (MCLK/1024)/FS
where FS is the decimal equivalent of the code in Bit FS0 to Bit FS9 within the range of 1 to 1023, and
MCLK is the master clock frequency.
With a nominal MCLK of 4.92 MHz, this results in an output data rate from 4.69 Hz to 4.8 kHz. With chop
disabled and fast settling mode disabled, the first notch frequency is equal to the output data rate when
converting on a single channel.
When chop is enabled (fast settling mode disabled)
Output Data Rate = (MCLK/1024)/(N × FS)
where FS is the decimal equivalent of the code in Bit FS0 to Bit FS9 within the range of 1 to 1023, and
MCLK is the master clock frequency.
With a nominal MCLK of 4.92 MHz, this results in a conversion rate from 4.69/N Hz to 4.8/N kHz, where N
is the order of the sinc filter. The first notch frequency of the sinc filter is equal to
N × Output Data Rate
The chopping introduces notches at odd integer multiples of

Mode
Continuous conversion mode (default). In continuous conversion mode, the ADC continuously performs
conversions and places the result in the data register. The DOUT/RDY pin and the RDY bit in the status register
go low when a conversion is complete. The user can read these conversions by setting the CREAD bit in the
communications register to 1, which enables continuous read. When continuous read is enabled, the conversions
are automatically placed on the DOUT line when SCLK pulses are applied. Alternatively, the user can instruct the
ADC to output each conversion by writing to the communications register. After power-on, a reset, or a reconfiguration of the ADC, the complete settling time of the filter is required to generate the first valid conversion.
Subsequent conversions are available at the selected output data rate, which is dependent on filter choice.
Single conversion mode. When single conversion mode is selected, the ADC powers up and performs a single
conversion on the selected channel. The internal clock requires 200 µs typically to power up and settle. The ADC
then performs the conversion, which requires the complete settling time of the filter. The conversion result is placed
in the data register. RDY goes low, and the ADC returns to power-down mode. The conversion remains in the data
register until another conversion is performed. RDY remains active (low) until the data is read or another conversion
is performed.
Idle mode. In idle mode, the ADC filter and modulator are held in a reset state even though the modulator clocks
continue to be provided.
Power-down mode. In power-down mode, all AD7194 circuitry is powered down. The external crystal, if selected,
remains active.
Internal zero-scale calibration. An internal short is automatically connected to the input. RDY goes high when the
calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a
calibration. The measured offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected channel.
Internal full-scale calibration. A full-scale input voltage is automatically connected to the input for this calibration.
RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is
placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register
of the selected channel. A full-scale calibration is recommended each time that the gain of a channel is changed
to minimize the full-scale error. When AVDD is less than 4.75 V, the CLK_DIV bit must be set when performing the
internal full-scale calibration.
System zero-scale calibration. The user should connect the system zero-scale input to the channel input pins as
selected by the CH7 to CH0 bits in the configuration register. RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and
returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured
offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected channel. A system zero-scale calibration is recommended
each time that the gain of a channel is changed.
System full-scale calibration. The user should connect the system full-scale input to the channel input pins as
selected by the CH7 to CH0 bits in the configuration register. RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and

full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the selected channel. A full-scale calibration is recommended
each time the gain of a channel is changed.

Description
Chop enable bit.
When the chop bit is cleared, chop is disabled. With chop disabled, higher conversion rates are allowed.
For an FS word of 96 decimal and the sinc4 filter selected, the conversion time is 20 ms and the settling
time is 80 ms. However, at low gains, periodic calibrations may be required to remove the offset and
offset drift.
When the chop bit is set, chop is enabled. When chop is enabled, the offset and offset drift of the ADC
are continuously removed. However, this increases the conversion time and settling time of the ADC.
For example, when FS = 96 decimal and the sinc4 filter is selected, the conversion time with chop
enabled equals 80 ms and the settling time equals 160 ms.
These bits must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Reference select bits. The reference source for the ADC is selected using these bits.
REFSEL
Reference Voltage
0
External reference applied between REFIN1(+) and REFIN1(−).
1
External reference applied between the AIN3/P1/REFIN2(+) and AIN4/P0/REFIN2(−) pins.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Pseudo differential analog inputs. When the pseudo bit is set to 1, the AD7194 is configured to have 16
pseudo differential analog inputs with AINCOM as the common negative terminal. Bits CH7 to CH4
select the positive input terminal while bits CH3 to CH0 have no effect. When the pseudo bit is set to 0,
channel selection is controlled using the CH7 to CH0 bits.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Temperature sensor select bit. When the Temp bit is set to 1, the internal temperature sensor is selected. When
the Temp bit is low, the analog input channel as determined by the Pseudo bit and the CH7 to CH0 bits is
selected. The temperature sensor does not have a unique code in bits CHD3 to CHD0 of the status register.
Channel select bits. These bits select which channel is enabled on the AD7194 (see Table 22 to Table 24).
The conversion on each channel requires the complete settling time. The four LSBs of the status register
indicate the channel corresponding to the conversion in the data register. The four LSBs correspond to
bits CH7 to CH3, that is, the positive analog input terminal.
When this bit is set to 1, the 500 nA current sources in the signal path are enabled. When Burn = 0, the
burnout currents are disabled. The burnout currents can be enabled only when the buffer is active and
when chop is disabled.
Enables the reference detect function. When set, the NOREF bit in the status register indicates when the
external reference being used by the ADC is open circuit or less than 0.6 V maximum. The reference
detect circuitry operates only when the ADC is active.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Enables the buffer on the analog inputs.
If BUF is set, the analog inputs are buffered, allowing the user to place source impedances on the front
end without contributing gain errors to the system. When the buffer is enabled, it requires some headroom; therefore, the voltage on any input pin must be limited to 250 mV within the power supply rails.
If cleared, the analog inputs are unbuffered, lowering the power consumption of the device. With the
buffer disabled, the voltage on the analog input pins can be from 50 mV below AGND to 50 mV above AVDD.
Polarity select bit.
When this bit is set, unipolar operation is selected.
When this bit is cleared, bipolar operation is selected.
Gain select bits. These bits are written by the user to select the ADC input range as follows:

The conversion result from the ADC is stored in this data register.
This is a read-only, 24-bit register. Upon completion of a read
operation from this register, the RDY pin/bit is set. When the
DAT_STA bit in the mode register is set to 1, the contents of the
status register are appended to each 24-bit conversion. This is
advisable when several analog input channels are enabled because
the four LSBs of the status register (CHD3 to CHD0) identify
the channel from which the conversion originated.
The GPOCON register is an 8-bit register from which data can
be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to
enable the general-purpose digital outputs.
Table 25 outlines the bit designations for the GPOCON register.

When GP32EN is set, the P3 and P2 digital outputs are active.
When GP32EN is cleared, Pin P3 functions as analog input Pin AIN1 and Pin P2 functions as analog input
Pin AIN2.
Digital Output P1 and Digital Output P0 enable.
When GP10EN is set, the P1 and P0 digital outputs are active.
When GP10EN is cleared, the P1 and P0 outputs are tristated, and the P1DAT and P0DAT bits are ignored.
The P1 and P0 pins can be used as a reference input, REFIN2, when the REFSEL bit in the configuration
register is set to 1. When GP10EN is cleared and Bit REFSEL is cleared, Pin P1 functions as analog input Pin
AIN3 while Pin P0 functions as analog input Pin AIN4.
Digital Output P3.
When GP32EN is set, the P3DAT bit sets the value of the P3 general-purpose output pin. When P3DAT is
high, the P3 output pin is high.
When P3DAT is low, the P3 output pin is low. When the GPOCON register is read, the P3DAT bit reflects the
status of the P3 pin if GP32EN is set.
Digital Output P2.
When GP32EN is set, the P2DAT bit sets the value of the P2 general-purpose output pin. When P2DAT is
high, the P2 output pin is high.
When P2DAT is low, the P2 output pin is low. When the GPOCON register is read, the P2DAT bit reflects the
status of the P2 pin if GP32EN is set.
Digital Output P1.
When GP10EN is set, the P1DAT bit sets the value of the P1 general-purpose output pin. When P1DAT is
high, the P1 output pin is high.
When P1DAT is low, the P1 output pin is low. When the GPOCON register is read, the P1DAT bit reflects the
status of the P1 pin if GP10EN is set.
Digital Output P0.
When GP10EN is set, the P0DAT bit sets the value of the P0 general-purpose output pin. When P0DAT is
high, the P0 output pin is high. When P0DAT is low, the P0 output pin is low.

RS2, RS1, RS0 = 110; Power-On/Reset = 0x800000)
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 111; Power-On/Reset = 0x5XXXX0
The offset register holds the offset calibration coefficient for the
ADC. The power-on reset value of the offset register is 0x800000.
The register is a 24-bit read/write register. It is used in conjunction with the full-scale register to form a register pair. The
power-on reset value is automatically overwritten if an internal
or system zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user. The
AD7194 must be placed in power-down mode or idle mode
when writing to the offset register.
The full-scale register is a 24-bit register that holds the full-scale
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The full-scale register is
a read/write register. However, when writing to the full-scale
register, the ADC must be placed in power-down mode or idle
mode. The register is configured at power-on with a factory
calibrated full-scale calibration coefficient, the calibration being
performed at gain = 1. Therefore, every device has different
default coefficients. The default value is automatically overwritten if an internal or system full-scale calibration is initiated
by the user or if the full-scale register is written to.

OVERVIEW
Σ-Δ ADC and Filter
The AD7194 is an ultralow noise ADC that incorporates a
sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator, a buffer, PGA, and on-chip digital
filtering intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range
signals such as those in pressure transducers, weigh scales, and
strain gage applications. Figure 21 shows the basic connections
required to operate the part.
The AD7194 contains a fourth-order Σ-Δ modulator followed
by a digital filter.
Analog Inputs
The device has several filter options:
•
•
•
•
•
Sinc4
Sinc3
Chop enabled/disabled
Fast settling
Zero latency
The device can be configured to have eight differential or sixteen
pseudo differential analog inputs. The analog inputs can be
buffered or unbuffered. The AD7194 uses flexible multiplexing,
thus any analog input pin can be selected as a positive input
and any analog input pin can be selected as a negative input.
The AD7194 has a 4-wire SPI. The on-chip registers are
accessed via the serial interface.
Multiplexer
Clock
The on-chip multiplexer increases the channel count of the
device. Because the multiplexer is included on chip, any channel
changes are synchronized with the conversion process.
The AD7194 has an internal 4.92 MHz clock. Either this clock
or an external clock can be used as the clock source to the AD7194.
The internal clock can also be made available on a pin if a clock
source is required for external circuitry.
PGA
Serial Interface
The analog input signal can be amplified using the PGA. The
PGA allows gains of 1, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.
Temperature Sensor
Reference Detect
Digital Outputs
The AD7194 is capable of monitoring the external reference. If
the reference is not present, a flag is set in the status register of
the device.
The AD7194 has four general-purpose digital outputs. These
can be used for driving external circuitry. For example, an
external multiplexer can be controlled by these outputs.
Burnout Currents
Calibration
Two 500 nA burnout currents are included on-chip to detect
the presence of the external sensor.
Both internal and system calibration are included on chip;
therefore, the user has the option of removing offset/gain errors
internal to the AD7194 only, or removing the offset/gain errors
of the complete end system.
The on-chip temperature sensor monitors the die temperature.
Rev. A | Page 29 of 56
AD7194
Data Sheet
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL
The AD7194 uses flexible multiplexing so any of the analog
input pins AIN1 to AIN16 can be selected as a positive input or
a negative input (see Table 22 and Table 23). The AINCOM pin
can be a negative analog input pin only.
AVDD
AIN1
AVDD
PGA
When the gain stage is enabled, the output from the buffer is
applied to the input of the PGA. The presence of the PGA
means that signals of small amplitude can be gained within the
AD7194 and still maintain excellent noise performance. For
example, when the gain is set to 128, the rms noise is 11 nV,
typically, when the output data rate is 4.7 Hz, which is equivalent
to 22.7 bits of effective resolution or 20 bits of noise-free
resolution.

AIN15
AVDD
The AD7194 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 8, 16,
32, 64, and 128 by using Bit G2 to Bit G0 in the configuration
register. Therefore, with an external 2.5 V reference, the
unipolar ranges are from 0 mV to 19.53 mV to 0 V to 2.5 V,
and the bipolar ranges are from ±19.53 mV to ±2.5 V.

Figure 22. Analog Input Multiplexer Circuit
The channels are configured using bits CH7 to CH0 and bit
Pseudo in the configuration register (See Table 22 to Table 24).
The device can be configured to have eight differential inputs,
sixteen pseudo-differential inputs or a combination of both. The
inputs can be buffered or unbuffered. In the buffered mode (the
BUF bit in the configuration register is set to 1), the input channel
feeds into a high impedance input stage of the buffer amplifier.
Therefore, the input can tolerate significant source impedances and
is tailored for direct connection to external resistive type sensors
such as strain gages or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
When BUF = 0, the part is operated in the unbuffered mode.
This results in a higher analog input current. Note that this
unbuffered input path provides a dynamic load to the driving
source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on the input
pins can cause gain errors, depending on the output impedance
of the source that is driving the ADC input. Table 26 shows the
allowable external resistance/capacitance values for unbuffered
mode at a gain of 1 such that no gain error at the 18-bit level is
introduced.

to a range between AGND + 250 mV and AVDD − 250 mV. Care
must be taken in setting up the common-mode voltage to not
exceed these limits; otherwise, linearity and noise performance
degrade.
The analog input range must be limited to ±(AVDD − 1.25 V)/gain
because the PGA requires some headroom. Therefore, if VREF =
AVDD = 5 V, the maximum analog input that can be applied to the
AD7194 is 0 V to 3.75 V/gain in unipolar mode or ±3.75 V/gain
in bipolar mode.
REFERENCE
The ADC has a fully differential input capability for the
reference channel. In addition, the user has the option of
selecting one of two external reference options (REFIN1(±)
or REFIN2(±)). The reference source for the AD7194 is
selected using the REFSEL bit in the configuration register.
The REFIN2(±) pins are dual purpose: they can function as
two general-purpose output pins or as reference pins. When
the REFSEL bit is set to 1, these pins automatically function as
reference pins.
The common-mode range for these differential inputs is from
AGND to AVDD. The reference voltage REFIN (REFINx(+) −
REFINx(−)) is AVDD nominal, but the AD7194 is functional
with reference voltages from 1 V to AVDD. In applications where
the excitation (voltage or current) for the transducer on the
analog input also drives the reference voltage for the part, the
effect of the low frequency noise in the excitation source is removed
because the application is ratiometric. If the AD7194 is used in a
nonratiometric application, a low noise reference should be used.
The reference input is unbuffered; therefore, excessive R-C
source impedances introduce gain errors. R-C values similar to
those in Table 26 are recommended for the reference inputs.

impedance. External decoupling on the REFINx pins is not
recommended in this type of circuit configuration. Conversely,
if large decoupling capacitors are used on the reference inputs,
there should be no resistors in series with the reference inputs.
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7194
include the ADR421 and ADR431, which are low noise references.
These references tolerate decoupling capacitors on REFINx(+)
without introducing gain errors in the system. Figure 23 shows the
recommended connections between the ADR421 and the AD7194.

If AINCOM is 2.5 V and the AD7194 AIN1 analog input is
configured for bipolar mode with a gain of 2, the analog input
range on AIN1 is 1.25 V to 3.75 V. The bipolar/unipolar option
is chosen by programming the U/B bit in the configuration
register.
DATA OUTPUT CODING
When the ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output
code is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input
voltage resulting in a code of 00...00, a midscale voltage resulting
in a code of 100...000, and a full-scale input voltage resulting in
a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog input

When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output

resulting in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog
input voltage can be represented as
The AD7194 includes on-chip circuitry to detect whether the
part has a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. This
feature is enabled when the REFDET bit in the configuration
register is set to 1. If the voltage between the selected REFINx(+)
and REFINx(−) pins is less than 0.3 V, the AD7194 detects that
it no longer has a valid reference. In this case, the NOREF bit
of the status register is set to 1. When the voltage between the
selected REFINx(+) and REFINx(−) pins is greater than 0.6 V,
the AD7194 detects a valid reference; thus, the NOREF bit is set
to 0. The operation of the NOREF bit is undefined when the
voltage between the selected REFINx(+) and REFINx(−) pins
is between 0.3 V and 0.6 V.
BURNOUT CURRENTS
If the AD7194 is performing normal conversions and the
NOREF bit becomes active, the conversion result is all 1s.
Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously monitor the
status of the NOREF bit when performing conversions. It is
only necessary to verify its status if the conversion result read
from the ADC data register is all 1s.
The AD7194 contains two 500 nA constant current generators,
one sourcing current from AVDD to AIN(+) and one sinking
current from AIN(−) to AGND. The currents are switched to
the selected analog input pair. Both currents are either on or off,
depending on the burnout current enable (burn) bit in the
configuration register.
If the AD7194 is performing either an offset or full-scale calibration and the NOREF bit becomes active, the updating of the
respective calibration registers is inhibited to avoid loading
incorrect coefficients to these registers, and the ERR bit in the
status register is set. If the user is concerned about verifying that
a valid reference is in place every time a calibration is performed,
the status of the ERR bit should be checked at the end of the
calibration cycle.
These currents can be used to verify that an external transducer
remains operational before attempting to take measurements on
that channel. After the burnout currents are turned on, they flow in
the external transducer circuit, and a measurement of the input
voltage on the analog input channel can be taken. It takes some
time for the burnout currents to detect an open circuit condition
because the currents must charge any external capacitors.
BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
The analog input to the AD7194 can accept either unipolar or
bipolar input voltage ranges. A bipolar input range does not
imply that the part can tolerate negative voltages with respect
to system AGND. In pseudo differential mode, signals are
referenced to AINCOM, whereas in differential mode, signals
are referenced to the negative input of the differential pair. For
example, if AINCOM is 2.5 V and the AD7194 AIN1 analog
Code = 2(N – 1) × [(AIN × Gain/VREF) + 1]
where:
AIN is the analog input voltage.
Gain is the PGA setting (1 to 128).
N = 24.
There are several reasons that a fault condition is detected: the
front-end sensor may be either open circuit or overloaded, or
the reference may be absent and the NOREF bit in the status
register is set, thus clamping the data to all 1s. The user must
check these three cases before making a determination.
If the voltage measured is 0 V, it may indicate that the transducer
has short circuited. The current sources work over the normal
absolute input voltage range specifications when the analog
inputs are buffered and chop is disabled.

AD7194
Data Sheet
DIGITAL INTERFACE
As indicated in the On-Chip Registers section, the programmable functions of the AD7194 are controlled using a set of
on-chip registers. Data is written to these registers via the serial
interface of the part. Read access to the on-chip registers is also
provided by this interface.
All communication with the part must start with a write 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 is a read
operation or a write operation, and it determines to which
register this read or write operation occurs. Therefore, write
access to any of the other registers on the part begins with a
write operation to the communications register, followed by a
write to the selected register. A read operation from any other
register (except when continuous read mode is selected) starts
with a write to the communications register, followed by a read
operation from the selected register.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show timing diagrams for interfacing to
the AD7194 using CS to decode the part. Figure 3 shows the
timing for a read operation from the output shift register of the
AD7194, and Figure 4 shows the timing for a write operation to
the input shift register. It is possible to read the same word from
the data register several times even though the DOUT/RDY line
returns high after the first read operation. However, care must
be taken to ensure that the read operations are completed
before the next output update occurs. In continuous read mode,
the data register can be read only once.
The serial interface can operate in 3-wire mode by tying CS low.
In this case, the SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/RDY lines are used to
communicate with the AD7194. The end of the conversion can
be monitored using the RDY bit or pin. This scheme is suitable
for interfacing to microcontrollers. If CS is required as a decoding
signal, it can be generated from a port pin. For microcontroller
interfaces, it is recommended that SCLK idle high between data
transfers.
The serial interface of the AD7194 consists of four signals: CS,
DIN, SCLK, and DOUT/RDY. The DIN line is used to transfer
data into the on-chip registers and DOUT/RDY is used for
accessing data from the on-chip registers. SCLK is the serial
clock input for the device, and all data transfers (either on DIN
or DOUT/RDY) occur with respect to the SCLK signal.
The AD7194 can be operated with CS used as a frame synchronization signal. This scheme is useful for DSP interfaces. In this
case, the first bit (MSB) is effectively clocked out by CS because
CS normally occurs after the falling edge of SCLK in DSPs. The
SCLK can continue to run between data transfers, provided the
timing numbers are obeyed.
The DOUT/RDY pin functions as a data ready signal also, the
line going low when a new data-word is available in the output
register. It is reset high when a read operation from the data
register is complete. It also goes high prior to the updating of
the data register to indicate when not to read from the device, to
ensure that a data read is not attempted while the register is
being updated. CS is used to select a device. It can be used to
decode the AD7194 in systems where several components are
connected to the serial bus.
The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s to the
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7194 DIN line for
at least 40 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset. This
ensures that the interface can be reset to a known state if the
interface is lost due to a software error or a glitch in the system.
Reset returns the interface to the state in which it expects a write
to the communications register. This operation resets the
contents of all registers to their power-on values. Following a
reset, the user should allow a period of 200 μs before addressing
the serial interface.
The AD7194 can be configured to continuously convert or to
perform a single conversion (see Figure 24 through Figure 26).
Rev. A | Page 32 of 56
Data Sheet
AD7194
Single Conversion Mode
In single conversion mode, the AD7194 is placed in powerdown mode after conversions. When a single conversion is
initiated by setting MD2 to 0, MD1 to 0, and MD0 to 1 in the
mode register, the AD7194 powers up, performs a single
conversion, and then returns to power-down mode. The onchip oscillator requires 200 µs, approximately, to power up.
DOUT/RDY goes low to indicate the completion of a conversion. When the data-word has been read from the data register,
DOUT/RDY goes high. If CS is low, DOUT/RDY remains high
until another conversion is initiated and completed. The data
register can be read several times, if required, even when
DOUT/RDY has gone high.
If the DAT_STA bit in the mode register is set to 1, the contents
of the status register are output along with the conversion each
time that the data read is performed. The four LSBs of the status
register indicate the channel to which the conversion corresponds.

Continuous Conversion Mode
Continuous conversion is the default power-up mode. The
AD7194 converts continuously, and the RDY bit in the status
register goes low each time a conversion is complete. If CS is
low, the DOUT/RDY line also goes low when a conversion is
completed. To read a conversion, the user writes to the communications register, indicating that the next operation is a read of
the data register. When the data-word has been read from the
data register, DOUT/RDY goes high. The user can read this
register additional times, if required. However, the user must
ensure that the data register is not being accessed at the completion of the next conversion or else the new conversion word
is lost.
If the DAT_STA bit in the mode register is set to 1, the contents
of the status register are output along with the conversion each
time that the data read is performed. The status register indicates the channel to which the conversion corresponds.

Continuous Read
before the next conversion is complete. If the user has not read
the conversion before the completion of the next conversion,
or if insufficient serial clocks are applied to the AD7194 to
read the word, the serial output register is reset when the next
conversion is complete, and the new conversion is placed in the
output serial register.
Rather than write to the communications register each time a
conversion is complete to access the data, the AD7194 can be
configured so that the conversions are placed on the DOUT/
RDY line automatically. By writing 01011100 to the communications register, the user need only apply the appropriate number
of SCLK cycles to the ADC, and the conversion word is automatically placed on the DOUT/RDY line when a conversion is
complete. The ADC should be configured for continuous
conversion mode.
To exit the continuous read mode, Instruction 01011000 must
be written to the communications register while the RDY pin is
low. While in the continuous read mode, the ADC monitors
activity on the DIN line so that it can receive the instruction to
exit the continuous read mode. Additionally, a reset occurs if 40
consecutive 1s are seen on DIN. Therefore, DIN should be held
low in continuous read mode until an instruction is to be written to
the device.
When DOUT/RDY goes low to indicate the end of a conversion,
sufficient SCLK cycles must be applied to the ADC; the data
conversion is then placed on the DOUT/RDY line. When the
conversion is read, DOUT/RDY returns high until the next
conversion is available. In this mode, the data can be read only
once. The user must also ensure that the data-word is read

RESET
ENABLE PARITY
The circuitry and serial interface of the AD7194 can be reset
by writing consecutive 1s to the device; 40 consecutive 1s are
required to perform the reset. This resets the logic, the digital
filter, and the analog modulator, whereas all on-chip registers
are reset to their default values.
When the ENPAR bit in the mode register is set to 1, parity is
enabled. The contents of the status register must be transmitted
along with each 24-bit conversion when the parity function is
enabled. To append the contents of the status register to each
conversion read, the DAT_STA bit in the mode register should
be set to 1. For each conversion read, the parity bit in the status
register is programmed so that the overall number of 1s transmitted in the 24-bit data-word is even. Therefore, for example,
if the 24-bit conversion contains 11 ones (binary format), the
parity bit is set to 1 so that the total number of ones in the serial
transmission is even. If the microprocessor receives an odd
number of 1s, it knows that the data received has been corrupted.
A reset is automatically performed on power-up. When a reset is
initiated, the user must allow a period of 200 μs before accessing any of the on-chip registers. A reset is useful if the serial
interface loses synchronization due to noise on the SCLK line.
SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION
The SYNC input allows the user to reset the modulator and the
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, the rising edge of
SYNC. SYNC needs to be taken low for at least four master
clock cycles to implement the synchronization function.
If multiple AD7194 devices are operated from a common
master clock, they can be synchronized so that their data
registers are updated simultaneously. A falling edge on the
SYNC pin resets the digital filter and the analog modulator and
places the AD7194 into a consistent, known state. While the
SYNC pin is low, the AD7194 is maintained in this state. On the
SYNC rising edge, the modulator and filter are taken out of this
reset state and, on the next clock edge, the part starts to gather
input samples again. In a system using multiple AD7194 devices,
a common signal to their SYNC pins synchronizes their operation. This is normally done after each AD7194 has performed
its own calibration or has calibration coefficients loaded into its
calibration registers. The conversions from the AD7194s are
then synchronized.
The part is taken out of reset on the master clock falling edge
following the SYNC low to high transition. Therefore, when
multiple devices are being synchronized, the SYNC pin should
be taken high on the master clock rising edge to ensure that all
devices begin sampling on the master clock falling edge. If the
SYNC pin is not taken high in sufficient time, it is possible to
have a difference of one master clock cycle between the devices;
that is, the instant at which conversions are available differs
from part to part by a maximum of one master clock cycle.
The SYNC pin can also be used as a start conversion command.
In this mode, the rising edge of SYNC starts conversion, and the
falling edge of RDY indicates when the conversion is complete.
The settling time of the filter has to be allowed for each data
register update. For example, if the ADC is configured to use
the sinc4 filter, zero latency is disabled, and chop is disabled, the
settling time equals 4/fADC where fADC is the output data rate
when continuously converting on a single channel.
The parity function does not ensure that all errors are detected.
For example, two bits of corrupt data can result in the microprocessor receiving an even number of ones. Therefore, an error
condition is not detected.
CLOCK
The AD7194 includes an internal 4.92 MHz clock on-chip. This
internal clock has a tolerance of ±4%. Either the internal clock
or an external crystal/clock can be used as the clock source to
the AD7194. The clock source is selected using the CLK1 and
CLK0 bits in the mode register. When an external crystal is
used, it must be connected across the MCLK1 and MCLK2
pins. The crystal manufacturer recommends the load capacitances required for the crystal. The MCLK1 and MCLK2
pins of the AD7194 have a capacitance of 15 pF, typically. If
an external clock source is used, the clock source must be
connected to the MCLK2 pin, and the MCLK1 pin can remain
floating.
The internal clock can also be made available at the MCLK2
pin. This is useful when several ADCs are used in an application and the devices must be synchronized. The internal clock
from one device can be used as the clock source for all ADCs in
the system. Using a common clock, the devices can be synchronized by applying a common reset to all devices, or the SYNC
pin can be pulsed.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Embedded in the AD7194 is a temperature sensor. This is
selected using the TEMP bit in the configuration register. When
the TEMP bit is set to 1, the temperature sensor is enabled.
When the temperature sensor is selected and bipolar mode is
selected, the device should return a code of 0x800000 when the
temperature is 0 Kelvin, theoretically. A one-point calibration is
needed to obtain the optimum performance from the sensor.
Therefore, a conversion at 25°C should be recorded and the
sensitivity calculated. The sensitivity is 2815 codes/°C,
approximately. The equation for the temperature sensor is
Temperature (K) = (Conversion − 0x800000)/2815 K
Temperature (°C) = Temperature (K) − 273
Rev. A | Page 36 of 56
Data Sheet
AD7194
Following the one-point calibration, the internal temperature
sensor has an accuracy of ±2°C, typically.
LOGIC OUTPUTS
The AD7194 has four general-purpose digital outputs: P0, P1,
P2, and P3. These are enabled using the GP32EN and GP10EN
bits in the GPOCON register. The pins can be pulled high or
low using the P0DAT to P3DAT bits in the GPOCON register;
that is, the value at the pin is determined by the setting of the
P0DAT to P3DAT bits. The logic levels for these pins are
determined by AVDD rather than by DVDD. When the GPOCON
register is read, Bit P0DAT to Bit P3DAT reflect the actual value
at the pins; this is useful for short-circuit detection.
These pins can be used to drive external circuitry, for example,
an external multiplexer. If an external multiplexer is used to
increase the channel count, the multiplexer logic pins can be
controlled via the AD7194 general-purpose output pins. The
general-purpose output pins can be used to select the active
multiplexer pin. Because the operation of the multiplexer is
independent of the AD7194, the AD7194 modulator and filter
should be reset using the SYNC pin or by a write to the mode or
configuration register each time that the multiplexer channel is
changed.
CALIBRATION
The AD7194 provides four calibration modes that can be programmed via the mode bits in the mode register. These modes
are internal zero-scale calibration, internal full-scale calibration,
system zero-scale calibration, and system full-scale calibration.
A calibration can be performed at any time by setting the MD2
to MD0 bits in the mode register appropriately. A calibration
should be performed when the gain is changed. After each
conversion, the ADC conversion result is scaled using the ADC
calibration registers before being written to the data register.
The offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the result
prior to multiplication by the full-scale coefficient.
During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the respective zero input and full-scale input are automatically connected
internally to the ADC input pins. A system calibration,
however, expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale
voltages to be applied to the ADC pins before initiating the
calibration mode. In this way, errors external to the ADC are
removed.
From an operational point of view, treat a calibration like
another ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration, if required,
must always be performed before a full-scale calibration. Set the
system software to monitor the RDY bit in the status register or
the DOUT/RDY pin to determine the end of calibration via a
polling sequence or an interrupt-driven routine.
With chop disabled, both an internal zero-scale calibration and
a system zero-scale calibration require a time equal to the settling
time, tSETTLE (4/fADC for the sinc4 filter and 3/fADC for the sinc3
filter).
With chop enabled, an internal zero-scale calibration is not
needed because the ADC itself minimizes the offset continuously.
However, if an internal zero-scale calibration is performed, the
settling time, tSETTLE (2/fADC), is required to perform the calibration. Similarly, a system zero-scale calibration requires a time of
tSETTLE to complete.
To perform an internal full-scale calibration, a full-scale input
voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input
for this calibration. For a gain of 1, the time required for an
internal full-scale calibration is equal to tSETTLE. For higher gains,
the internal full-scale calibration requires a time of 2 × tSETTLE.
A full-scale calibration is recommended each time the gain of a
channel is changed to minimize the full-scale error.
A system full-scale calibration requires a time of tSETTLE. With
chop disabled, the zero-scale calibration (internal or system
zero-scale) should be performed before the system full-scale
calibration is initiated.
To start a calibration, write the relevant value to the MD2
to MD0 bits. The DOUT/RDY pin and the RDY bit in the
status register go high when the calibration initiates. When
the calibration is complete, the contents of the corresponding
calibration registers are updated, the RDY bit in the status
register is reset, the DOUT/RDY pin returns low (if CS is low),
and the AD7194 reverts to idle mode.
Rev. A | Page 37 of 56
AD7194
Data Sheet
An internal zero-scale calibration, system zero-scale calibration,
and system full-scale calibration can be performed at any
output data rate. An internal full-scale calibration can be
performed at any output data rate for which the filter word,
FS[9:0], is divisible by 16, FS[9:0] being the decimal equivalent
of the 10-bit word written to Bit FS9 to Bit FS0 in the mode
register. Therefore, internal full-scale calibrations can be
performed at output data rates such as 10 Hz or 50 Hz when
chop is disabled. Using these lower output data rates results in
better calibration accuracy.
The offset error is, typically, ±150 μV/gain. If the gain is changed, it
is advisable to perform a calibration. A zero-scale calibration (an
internal zero-scale calibration or a system zero-scale calibration)
reduces the offset error to the order of the noise.
The gain error of the AD7194 is factory calibrated at a gain of 1
with a 5 V power supply at ambient temperature. Following this
calibration, the gain error is ±0.001%, typically, at 5 V. Table 27
shows the typical uncalibrated gain error for the different gain
settings.

An internal full-scale calibration reduces the gain error to
±0.001%, typically, when the gain is equal to 1. For higher gains,
the gain error post internal full-scale calibration is ±0.003%,
typically when AVDD is equal to or higher than 4.75 V. When
AVDD is less than 4.75 V, the gain error post internal full-scale
calibration is ±0.005%, typically.
When AVDD is less than 4.75 V, the CLK_DIV bit must be set
when performing internal full-scale calibrations. This increases
the calibration time by a factor of 2. The accuracy of the internal
full-scale calibration is further increased if chop is enabled and
a low output data rate is used while performing the calibration.
A system full-scale calibration reduces the gain error to the
order of the noise irrespective of the analog power supply
voltage.
The AD7194 gives the user access to the on-chip calibration
registers, allowing the microprocessor to read the calibration
coefficients of the device and also to write its own calibration
coefficients from prestored values in the EEPROM. A read of
the registers can be performed at any time. However, the ADC
must be placed in power-down or idle mode when writing to
the registers. The values in the calibration registers are 24 bits
wide. The span and offset of the part can also be manipulated
using the registers.

DIGITAL FILTER
The AD7194 offers a lot of flexibility in the digital filter. The
device has five filter options. The device can be operated with
a sinc3 or sinc4 filter, chop can be enabled or disabled, and zero
latency can be enabled. Finally, an averaging block can be
included after the sinc filter, which gives a fast settling mode.
The option selected affects the output data rate, settling time,
and 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection. The following sections describe
each filter type, indicating the available output data rates for
each filter option. The filter response along with the settling
time and 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is also discussed.

When conversions are performed on a single channel and a
step change occurs, the ADC does not detect the change in
analog input. Therefore, it continues to output conversions
at the programmed output data rate. However, it is at least four
conversions later before the output data accurately reflect the
analog input. If the step change occurs while the ADC is
processing a conversion, then the ADC takes five conversions
after the step change to generate a fully settled result.

When the analog input is constant or a channel change occurs,
valid conversions are available at a constant output data rate.
When conversions are being performed on a single channel and
a step change occurs on the analog input, the ADC continues to
output fully settled conversions if the step change is synchronized
with the conversion process. If the step change is asynchronous,
one conversion is output from the ADC, which is not completely
settled (see Figure 30).
Figure 32 shows the frequency response when FS[9:0] is
programmed to 80 and the master clock is equal to 4.92 MHz.
The output data rate is 60 Hz when zero latency is disabled and
15 Hz when zero latency is enabled. The sinc4 filter provides
60 Hz (±1 Hz) rejection of 120 dB minimum, assuming a stable
master clock.

When conversions are performed on a single channel and a step
change occurs, the ADC does not detect the change in analog
input. Therefore, it continues to output conversions at the
programmed output data rate. However, it is at least three
conversions later before the output data accurately reflects the

the step change to generate a fully settled result.

FAST SETTLING MODE (SINC4 FILTER)
Figure 54. Fast Settling, Sinc4 Filter
In fast settling mode, the settling time is close to the inverse of
the first filter notch; therefore, the user can achieve 50 Hz and/or
60 Hz rejection at an output data rate close to 1/50 Hz or 1/60 Hz.
The settling time is equal to 1/output data rate. Therefore, the
conversion time is constant when converting on a single channel
or when converting on several channels. There is no added
latency when switching channels.
Enable the fast settling mode using Bit AVG1 and Bit AVG0 in
the mode register. In fast settling mode, a postfilter is included
after the sinc4 filter. The postfilter averages by 2, 8, or 16,
depending on the settings of the AVG1 and AVG0 bits.
When the device is converting on a single channel and a step
change occurs on the analog input, the ADC does not detect the
change and continues to output conversions. If the step change
is synchronized with the conversion, only fully settled results
are output from the ADC. However, if the step change is asynchronous to the conversion process, there is one intermediate
result, which is not completely settled (see Figure 55).

FS[9:0] is the decimal equivalent of Bit FS9 to Bit FS0 in the

Therefore, the conversion time equals 1/42.10 Hz or 23.75 ms and
the settling time is equal to 47.5 ms.

fNOTCH = fCLK/(1024 × FS[9:0])
The postfiltering places notches at fNOTCH/Avg (Avg is the
amount of averaging) and multiples of this frequency; therefore,
when FS[9:0] is set to 6 and the postfilter averaging is 16, a
notch is placed at 800 Hz due to the sinc filter and notches are
placed at 50 Hz and multiples of 50 Hz due to the postfilter. The
notch at 50 Hz is a first-order notch; therefore, the notch is not
wide. This means that the rejection at 50 Hz exactly is good,
assuming a stable 4.92 MHz master clock. However, in a band
of 50 Hz ± 1 Hz, the rejection degrades significantly. The
rejection at 50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz is 40 dB minimum, assuming a
stable clock; therefore, a good master clock source is
recommended when using fast settling mode.
Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is achieved when FS[9:0] is
set to 30 and the postfilter averages by 16. The output data rate
is equal to 8.4 Hz whereas the rejection at 50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz and
60 Hz ± 0.5 Hz is 44 dB typically.

Data Sheet
In fast settling mode, the settling time is close to the inverse of
the first filter notch. Therefore, the user can achieve 50 Hz and/or
60 Hz rejection at an output data rate close to 1/50 Hz or 1/60 Hz.
The settling time is equal to 1/output data rate. Therefore, the
conversion time is constant when converting on a single channel
or when converting on several channels. There is no added
latency when switching channels.
The fast settling mode is enabled using Bit AVG1 and Bit AVG0
in the mode register. A postfilter is included after the sinc4 filter.
The postfilter averages by 2, 8, or 16, depending on the settings
of the AVG1 and AVG0 bits.

When the device is converting on a single channel and a step
change occurs on the analog input, the ADC does not detect
the change and continues to output conversions. When the step
change is synchronized with the conversion, only fully settled
results are output from the ADC. However, if the step change is
asynchronous to the conversion process, one intermediate result
is not completely settled (see Figure 62).

FAST SETTLING MODE (SINC3 FILTER)
Figure 63 shows the frequency response when FS[9:0] is set to 6
and the postfilter averages by 16. This gives an output data rate
of 44.44 Hz when the master clock is 4.92 MHz. The sinc filter
places the first notch at
fNOTCH = fCLK/(1024 × FS[9:0])
The postfiltering places notches at fNOTCH/Avg (Avg is the
amount of averaging) and multiples of this frequency. Therefore, when FS[9:0] is set to 6 and the postfilter averaging is 16,
a notch is placed at 800 Hz due to the sinc filter and notches are
placed at 50 Hz and multiples of 50 Hz due to the postfilter.
The notch at 50 Hz is a first-order notch. Therefore, the notch is
not wide. This means that the rejection at 50 Hz exactly is good,
assuming a stable 4.92 MHz master clock. However, in a band of
50 Hz ± 1 Hz, the rejection degrades significantly. The rejection at
50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz is 40 dB minimum, assuming a stable clock; therefore, a good master clock source is recommended when using fast
settling mode.

FAST SETTLING MODE (CHOP ENABLED)
Chop can be enabled in the fast settling mode. With chop
enabled, the ADC offset and offset drift are minimized. The
analog input pins are continuously swapped. With the analog
input pins connected in one direction, the settling time of the
sinc filter is allowed and a conversion is recorded. The analog
input pins are then inverted, and another settled conversion
is obtained. Subsequent conversions are averaged so that the
offset is minimized. This continuous swapping of the analog
input pins and the averaging of subsequent conversions means
that the offset drift is also minimized.
Chopping does not change the output data rate. However, the
settling time equals
tSETTLE = 2/fADC
Consequently, if chop is enabled, the sinc4 filter is selected, FS[9:0]
is set to 6 and averaging by 16 is enabled, and the output data
rate is equal to 42.1 Hz. Therefore, the conversion time equals
1/42.10 Hz or 23.75 ms and the settling time is equal to 47.5 ms.

AD7194
Data Sheet
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Because the analog inputs and reference inputs are differential,
most of the voltages in the analog modulator are commonmode voltages. The high common-mode rejection of the part
removes common-mode noise on these inputs. The analog and
digital supplies to the AD7194 are independent and separately
pinned out to minimize coupling between the analog and
digital sections of the device. The digital filter provides rejection
of broadband noise on the power supplies, except at integer
multiples of the modulator sampling frequency.
Connect an R-C filter to each analog input pin to provide rejection
at the modulator sampling frequency. A 100 Ω resistor in series
with each analog input, a 0.1 μF capacitor between the analog
input pins, and a 0.01 μF capacitor from each analog input to
AGND are advised.
The digital filter also removes noise from the analog and
reference inputs provided that these noise sources do not
saturate the analog modulator. As a result, the AD7194 is
more immune to noise interference than a conventional high
resolution converter. However, because the resolution of the
AD7194 is so high and the noise levels from the converter so
low, care must be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the ADC must 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 that can be easily separated. A minimum
etch technique is generally best for ground planes because it
gives the best shielding.
Although the AD7194 has separate pins for analog and digital
ground, the AGND and DGND pins are tied together internally
via the substrate. Therefore, the user must not tie these two pins
to separate ground planes unless the ground planes are connected
together near the AD7194.
In systems in which the AGND and DGND are connected
somewhere else in the system (that is, the power supply of the
system), they should not be connected again at the AD7194
because a ground loop results. In these situations, it is recommended that the ground pins of the AD7194 be tied to the
AGND plane.
In any layout, the user must keep in mind the flow of currents
in the system, ensuring that the paths for all currents are as close as
possible to the paths the currents took to reach their destinations.
Avoid forcing digital currents to flow through the AGND.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because this
couples noise onto the die, and allows the analog ground plane
to run under the AD7194 to prevent noise coupling. The power
supply lines to the AD7194 must use as wide a trace as possible
to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of
glitches on the power supply line. Shield fast switching signals,
like clocks, with digital ground to prevent radiating noise to
other sections of the board, and never run clock signals near the
analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
Run traces on opposite sides of the board 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,
whereas signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution
ADCs. Decouple all analog supplies with 10 μF tantalum
capacitors in parallel with 0.1 μF capacitors to AGND. To
achieve the best results from these decoupling components,
place them as close as possible to the device, ideally right up
against the device. Decouple all logic chips with 0.1 μF ceramic
capacitors to DGND. In systems in which a common supply
voltage is used to drive both the AVDD and DVDD of the AD7194,
it is recommended that the system AVDD supply be used. For
this supply, place the recommended analog supply decoupling
capacitors between the AVDD pin of the AD7194 and AGND
and the recommended digital supply decoupling capacitor
between the DVDD pin of the AD7194 and DGND.

AD7194
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In Figure 67, temperature compensation is performed using
a thermistor. In addition, the reference voltage for the temperature
measurement is derived from a precision resistor in series with
the thermistor. This allows a ratiometric measurement so that
variation of the excitation voltage has no affect on the measurement
(it is the ratio of the precision reference resistance to the thermistor
resistance that is measured).
The AD7194 provides a low cost, high resolution analog-todigital function. Because the analog-to-digital function is
provided by a Σ-∆ architecture, the part is more immune to noisy
environments, making it ideal for use in sensor measurement and
industrial and process control applications.
FLOWMETER
Figure 67 shows the AD7194 being used in a flowmeter application
that consists of two pressure transducers with the rate of flow
being equal to the pressure difference. The pressure transducers
are arranged in a bridge network and give a differential output
voltage between its OUT+ and OUT− terminals. With rated
full-scale pressure (in this case 300 mmHg) on the transducer,
the differential output voltage is 3 mV/V of the input voltage
(that is, the voltage between the IN+ and IN− terminals).
For simplicity, external filters are not shown in Figure 67;
however, an R-C antialias filter must be included on each analog
input. This is required because the on-chip digital filter does
not provide any rejection around the modulator sampling
frequency or multiples of this frequency. Suitable values are a
100 Ω resistor in series with each analog input, a 0.1 μF capacitor
between the analog input pins, and a 0.01 μF capacitor from
each analog input pin to AGND.
Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full-scale output range
from the transducer is 15 mV. The excitation voltage for the
bridge can be used to directly provide the reference for the
ADC, as the reference input range includes the supply voltage.
