The AD74011 is a second-order, sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator
that converts an analog input signal into a high speed, 1-bit data
stream with on-chip digital isolation based on Analog Devices,
Inc., iCoupler® technology. The AD7401 operates from a 5 V
power supply and accepts a differential input signal of ±200 mV
(±320 mV full scale). The analog input is continuously sampled
by the analog modulator, eliminating the need for external sampleand-hold circuitry. The input information is contained in the
output stream as a density of ones with a data rate up to 20 MHz.
The original information can be reconstructed with an appropriate
digital filter. The serial input/output can use a 5 V or a 3 V
supply (VDD2).
The serial interface is digitally isolated. High speed CMOS,
combined with monolithic air core transformer technology,
means the on-chip isolation provides outstanding performance
characteristics, superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices.
The device contains an on-chip reference. The AD7401 is offered
in a 16-lead SOIC and has an operating temperature range of
−40°C to +105°C.
APPLICATIONS
AC motor controls
Data acquisition systems
A/D + opto-isolator replacements
An internal clock version, AD7400, is also available.

TERMINOLOGY
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between the measured
and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in
the ADC.
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The endpoints of the transfer function are specified negative
full-scale, −200 mV (VIN+ − VIN−), Code 12,288 for the 16-bit
level, and specified positive full-scale, +200 mV (VIN+ − VIN−),
Code 53,248 for the 16-bit level.
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the midscale code (Code 32,768
for the 16-bit level) from the ideal VIN+ − VIN− (that is, 0 V).
Gain Error
Gain error includes both positive full-scale gain error and
negative full-scale gain error. Positive full-scale gain error is the
deviation of the specified positive full-scale code (53,248 for the
16-bit level) from the ideal VIN+ − VIN− (+200 mV) after the
offset error is adjusted out. Negative full-scale gain error is the
deviation of the specified negative full-scale code (12,288 for
the 16-bit level) from the ideal VIN+ − VIN− (−200 mV) after the
offset error is adjusted out. Gain error includes reference error.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This ratio is the measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion)
at the output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio 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 + 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
Therefore, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
The ENOB is defined by
ENOB = (SINAD − 1.76)/6.02
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the
fundamental. For the AD7401, it is defined as
THD (dB)  20 log
V2 2  V3 2  V4 2  V5 2  V6 2
V1
where:
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
through the sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to fS/2, excluding dc) to the rms value of the
fundamental. Normally, 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.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at
±200 mV frequency, f, to the power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave
applied to the common-mode voltage of VIN+ and VIN− of
frequency fS, expressed as
CMRR (dB) = 10 log(Pf/PfS)
where:
Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output.
PfS is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but
not converter linearity. PSRR is the maximum change in the
specified full-scale (±200 mV) transition point due to a change
in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see Figure 6).
Isolation Transient Immunity
The isolation transient immunity specifies the rate of rise/fall of
a transient pulse applied across the isolation boundary beyond
which clock or data is corrupted. (It was tested using a transient
pulse frequency of 100 kHz.)
Rev. E | Page 12 of 20

AD7401
THEORY OF OPERATION
A differential input of 320 mV results in a stream of, ideally, all
1s. This is the absolute full-scale range of the AD7401, while
200 mV is the specified full-scale range, as shown in Table 9.
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7401 isolated Σ-Δ modulator converts an analog input
signal into a high speed (20 MHz maximum), single-bit data
stream; the time average of the modulator single-bit data is
directly proportional to the input signal. Figure 23 shows a typical
application circuit where the AD7401 is used to provide isolation
between the analog input, a current sensing resistor, and the digital
output, which is then processed by a digital filter to provide an
N-bit word.

ANALOG INPUT
The differential analog input of the AD7401 is implemented with a
switched capacitor circuit. This circuit implements a second-order
modulator stage that digitizes the input signal into a 1-bit output
stream. The sample clock (MCLKIN) provides the clock signal
for the conversion process as well as the output data-framing
clock. This clock source is external on the AD7401. The analog
input signal is continuously sampled by the modulator and
compared to an internal voltage reference. A digital stream that
accurately represents the analog input over time appears at the
output of the converter (see Figure 21).
Voltage Input
+640 mV
+320 mV
+200 mV

To reconstruct the original information, this output needs to be
digitally filtered and decimated. A Sinc3 filter is recommended
because this is one order higher than that of the AD7401 modulator. If a 256 decimation rate is used, the resulting 16-bit word
rate is 62.5 kHz, assuming a 16 MHz external clock frequency.
Figure 22 shows the transfer function of the AD7401 relative to
the 16-bit output.

A differential signal of 0 V results (ideally) in a stream of 1s and
0s at the MDAT output pin. This output is high 50% of the time
and low 50% of the time. A differential input of 200 mV produces a
stream of 1s and 0s that are high 81.25% of the time. A differential
input of −200 mV produces a stream of 1s and 0s that are high
18.75% of the time.

DIFFERENTIAL INPUTS
The analog input to the modulator is a switched capacitor
design. The analog signal is converted into charge by highly linear
sampling capacitors. A simplified equivalent circuit diagram of
the analog input is shown in Figure 24. A signal source driving
the analog input must be able to provide the charge onto the
sampling capacitors every half MCLKIN cycle and settle to the
required accuracy within the next half cycle.

The recommended circuit configuration for driving the differential
inputs to achieve best performance is shown in Figure 25. A
capacitor between the two input pins sources or sinks charge
to allow most of the charge that is needed by one input to be
effectively supplied by the other input. The series resistor again
isolates any operational amplifier from the current spikes created
during the sampling process. Recommended values for the resistors
and capacitor are 22 Ω and 47 pF, respectively.

Figure 24. Analog Input Equivalent Circuit
Because the AD7401 samples the differential voltage across its
analog inputs, low noise performance is attained with an input
circuit that provides low common-mode noise at each input. The
amplifiers used to drive the analog inputs play a critical role in
attaining the high performance available from the AD7401.

When a capacitive load is switched onto the output of an
operational amplifier, the amplitude momentarily drops. The
operational amplifier tries to correct the situation and, in the
process, hits its slew rate limit. This nonlinear response, which
can cause excessive ringing, can lead to distortion. To remedy
the situation, a low-pass RC filter can be connected between the
amplifier and the input to the AD7401. The external capacitor at
each input aids in supplying the current spikes created during the
sampling process, and the resistor isolates the operational amplifier
from the transient nature of the load.

DIGITAL FILTER
A Sinc3 filter is recommended for use with the AD7401. This filter
can be implemented on an FPGA or possibly a DSP. The following
Verilog code provides an example of a Sinc3 filter implementation
on a Xylinx® Spartan-II 2.5 V FPGA. This code can possibly be
compiled for another FPGA, such as an Altera® device. Note that
the data is read on the negative clock edge in this case, although
it can be read on the positive edge if preferred. Figure 29 shows the
effect of using different decimation rates with various filter types.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Supply decoupling with a value of 100 nF is strongly recommended on both VDD1 and VDD2. Decoupling on one or both
VDD1 pins does not affect performance significantly. In applications
involving high common-mode transients, care must be taken to
ensure that board coupling across the isolation barrier is minimized. Furthermore, the board layout must be designed so any
coupling that occurs equally affects all pins on a given component
side. Failure to ensure this may cause voltage differentials between
pins to exceed the absolute maximum ratings of the device, thereby
leading to latch-up or permanent damage. Any decoupling used
must be placed as close to the supply pins as possible.
Series resistance in the analog inputs must be minimized to
avoid any distortion effects, especially at high temperatures. If
possible, equalize the source impedance on each analog input to
minimize offset. Beware of mismatch and thermocouple effects
on the analog input PCB tracks to reduce offset drift.
These tests subject populations of devices to continuous cross
isolation voltages. To accelerate the occurrence of failures, the
selected test voltages are values exceeding those of normal use.
The time to failure values of these units are recorded and used
to calculate acceleration factors. These factors are then used to
calculate the time to failure under normal operating conditions.
The values shown in Table 7 are the lesser of the following
two values:
•
•
The value that ensures at least a 50-year lifetime of
continuous use
The maximum CSA/VDE approved working voltage
It should also be noted that the lifetime of the AD7401 varies
according to the waveform type imposed across the isolation
barrier. The iCoupler insulation structure is stressed differently
depending on whether the waveform is bipolar ac, unipolar ac,
or dc. Figure 30, Figure 31, and Figure 32 illustrate the different
isolation voltage waveforms.
EVALUATING THE AD7401 PERFORMANCE
A simple standalone AD7401 evaluation board is available with
split ground planes and a board split beneath the AD7401 package
to ensure isolation. This board allows access to each pin on the
device for evaluation purposes. External supplies and all other
circuitry (such as a digital filter) must be provided by the user.

All insulation structures, subjected to sufficient time and/or
voltage, are vulnerable to breakdown. In addition to the testing
performed by the regulatory agencies, Analog Devices has carried
out an extensive set of evaluations to determine the lifetime of
the insulation structure within the AD7401.
