How to Configure the AD5933/AD5934
by Miguel Usach
INTRODUCTION
The AD5933 and AD5934 are high precision impedance
converter system solutions. The main difference between
these two solutions is the maximum measurable frequency.
This application note applies to both parts. The main blocks
of the AD5933 and AD5934 are shown in Figure 1.
The output programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is used for
conditioning the output signal. It can be configured in four user
selectable excitation voltages.
Receive Stage
The receive stage consists of
The impedance converter is a finite system and has some
limitations. This application note only aims to explain the
optimum setup for measurements.

GETTING STARTED
BENEFITS OF ADDING AN EXTERNAL AFE
CN-217 describes an external analog front end (AFE) designed
to improve measurements.
An example of the different dc bias voltages is shown Figure 3
for Range 1 where VDD = 5 V.
5.00V
This AFE has two main benefits: to reduce the output
impedance of the signal source and to rebias the excitation
voltage signal.

REBIASING THE DC LEVEL

When connecting the impedance between VIN and VOUT, as
shown in Figure 2, notice that the dc bias voltage is slightly
different in the transmit stage and receive stage.

Due to this mismatch, the dc level difference is amplified by the
RFB, or, in other words, the ADC dynamic range is reduced.
VOUT
Additionally, a dc voltage across a sensor can polarize it and/or
degrade it over the sensor lifetime.
Z(ω)
REDUCING THE OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
RFB
The internal output impedance depends on the amplitude
voltage range selected and this may be as high as 2.4 kΩ.
Therefore, since impedance cannot be considered negligible, it
needs to be added into the equation. Typical values are shown
in Table 2.

The receiver dc offset is set to the ADC midscale, noninverting
pin of the TIA, VDD/2, while the dc offset in the transmitter
depends on the selected output voltage shown in Table 1.

Application Note
Implementing these suggestions is relatively easy. Rebiasing the
dc level is straightforward; just add a high-pass filter. If you
are planning to design the high-pass filter, refer to AN-581
Application Note, Biasing and Decoupling Op Amps in Single
Supply Applications.
To reduce the output impedance and have the ability to measure
low impedances, the recommended op amp of choice is the
AD8606 (ZOUT = 1 Ω). You may consider the AD8602 as a lower
cost alternative. Figure 4 shows the AFE implementation in the
EVAL-AD5933EBZ, Rev. C1.
The second AD8606 is used as a TIA due to the lower leakage
and noise; the internal receive stage TIA is operating as a
voltage follower.

The total measurable impedance is the unknown impedance
and the system output impedance. To measure small
impedances, adding the system output impedance may
dramatically increase the range thus increasing the total
measurable impedance. Consequently, this reduces the output
current. To compensate, the value of RFB needs to increase. In
other words, a high RFB value means worse SNR and lower
sensitivity in your system.
Application Note
AN-1252
CONFIGURING THE PART
Note that if you are rebiasing, the signal VDCOFFSET is VDD/2.
Correctly configuring the AD5933/AD5934 is key to getting
the most accurate measurement from the part.
At this point, it is important to clarify that the equations are
based on a headroom of 200 mV below VDD.
SELECTING THE EXCITATION VOLTAGE
CHOOSING AN APPROPRIATE SETTLING TIME
The recommendation is to use the maximum output voltage
because the SNR is degraded with lower amplitudes.
IDENTIFYING THE IMPEDANCE RANGE
The ratio between the maximum and minimum impedance
is limited by the ADC resolution, supply, and dc offset for the
selected range. The maximum ratio, ZMAX/ZMIN, is shown in
Table 3.

CALCULATING THE GAIN FACTOR
To calculate the gain factor, it is always recommended to use a
discrete resistor rather than a complex impedance.
Ratio

×40
×15

×2
Remember to add the system output impedance into the
impedance range. This depends on the selected range as shown
in Table 2.
If the unknown impedance range does not fit within the maximum range, split your impedance range into subgroups. If this
is the case, your system should be capable of changing the TIA
gain. This can be done by adding an external mux or switch
(that is, ADG1419) with different RFB values as shown in
Figure 5.
VOUT
The reason for calibrating the system with a discrete resistor is
simple. The algorithm to calculate the phase is relative, in other
words, the unknown impedance phase is the difference between
the calibrated phase minus the unknown measured phase.
Therefore, to avoid confusion, it is necessary to calibrate the
part using a zero phase delay impedance. The recommended
impedance value for calibration is
𝑅𝐶𝐴𝐿 = (𝑍𝑀𝐼𝑁 + 𝑍𝑀𝐴𝑋 ) ×
Recommendation
Regardless of how one wants to calculate the gain factor, it is
always recommended to measure the system phase for each
frequency because a typical op amp phase is not constant for
some frequencies as shown in the example in Figure 6.

The part allows preexcitation of the impedance before beginning measurements. This is recommended if the imaginary part
of the load is bigger than the real part or if the distance sensor
load is high. The settling time is referred to as the actual output
frequency. Therefore, if you are generating a frequency sweep,
the delay is different for each excitation frequency.
Figure 6. Phase Linearity Example
There are different ways to calculate the gain factor depending
on the frequency range and memory space constrains.

Application Note
Calculating the Gain Factor Using Single Impedance and
Single Frequency
The impedance is excited with a single frequency. Typically,
this is a frequency in the middle of your frequency sweep.
Improvements: Best Fit Equation
This is a method to correct offset and gain errors in the system,
in other words, to linearize the system within a range.
First, the gain factor is calculated using one of the methods
described in this application note.
This type of calibration is fast and requires minimum space
in memory, but offers less precision than other methods.
Once the gain factor is calculated, measure the impedance in
the extremes of the range as shown in Table 7.
Specifically, the AD5933 DFT engine uses a method called
single point DFT. Rather than analyze the entire spectrum
and calculate the energy for a given frequency, the algorithm
returns a single bin that contains multiple frequencies, at
approximately 976.56 Hz at 1MSPS.
The equations to correct the measured value are
𝑍 =𝑀×𝑋+𝐶
(𝑍𝑀𝐴𝑋 − 𝑍𝑀𝐼𝑁 )
𝑀=
(𝑋𝑀𝐴𝑋 − 𝑋𝑀𝐼𝑁 )
For example, when configuring a measurement for a 1 kHz
excitation signal, the bin will contain the energy stored from
976 Hz to 1952 Hz.
𝐶 = 𝑍𝑀𝐼𝑁 − (𝑀 × 𝑋𝑀𝐼𝑁 )
On the board, there are many devices generating noise at
different frequencies, such as an SMPS regulator; this could add
more energy to the bin that the energy measured only in the
impedance.
where:
ZMAX is the real maximum impedance.
ZMIN is the real minimum impedance.
XMAX is the maximum measured impedance.
XMIN is the minimum measured impedance.
Calculating the Gain Factor Using Multipoint
Frequencies, Single Impedance
The best fit equation for each frequency can be calculated, but
this increases memory requirements.
This method is preferred if your frequency span is wide because
it helps to reduce errors related to the op amp bandwidth as well
as reducing bin errors.
There are two different ways to implement this method. The
first way is to generate a look-up table in your controller for the
gain factor. The second way is to calculate the gain factor onthe-fly by adding an external mux/switch as shown in Figure 7.
MEASURED IMPEDANCE
In this case, calculate the gain factor for each frequency.

It is necessary to generate a sweep and repeat the measurement
twice, once with RCAL and a second time with the impedance
(Z(ω)).
Application Note
AN-1252
WHEN THE IMPEDANCE IS OUTSIDE THE
MAXIMUM AD5933/AD5934 MEASURABLE
RANGE
In this case, the error is due to an assumption; the output
impedance is 2.4. Figure 10 shows the error assuming that the
output impedance is 2.4 ± 5%. To be considered negligible, the
error added by the output impedance tolerance, ZMIN, should be
at least 10 times larger than the amplifier output impedance.
There are some limitations in terms of maximum and
minimum measurable impedance. In this case, the easy way
to overcome the limitation is by adding a series or parallel
resistance to decrease or increase the impedance as needed.
This method decreases the accuracy because the unknown
impedance is measured artificially in a different range.

EXAMPLE
Consider a simple example that works for several scenarios,
where VDD = 3.3 V.
In this case condition, the unknown impedance range is from
4.7 kΩ to 47 kΩ. Because the AD5933 measures impedance, not
capacitance or inductance, calculate the equivalent impedance
for your maximum and minimum excitation frequency (see
Table 7).

a full period; this adds a considerable error to the final result.
If you need to measure below 1 kHz, the recommendation is
to reduce the MCLK frequency. This increases the calculation
time; the DFT engine clock is MCLK and requires an external
filter to attenuate harmonics. Keep the Nyquist theorem in
mind since the internal filters are optimized for the maximum
sample rate of 1 MSPS. For example, to measure the impedance
at 10 Hz, MCLK ≈16 MHz/100 ≈160 kHz
