GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7984 is an 18-bit, successive approximation, analog-todigital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power
supply, VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit
sampling ADC and a versatile serial interface port. On the CNV
rising edge, the AD7984 samples the voltage difference between
the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing
in opposite phases between 0 V and VREF. The reference voltage,
REF, is applied externally and can be set independent of the
supply voltage, VDD.
APPLICATIONS
Battery-powered equipment
Data acquisition systems
Medical instruments
Seismic data acquisition systems
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single
3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible
with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic, using the separate VIO supply.
The AD7984 is available in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

Description
Reference Input Voltage. The REF range is 2.9 V to 5.1 V. This pin is referred to the GND pin and
should be decoupled closely to the GND pin with a 10 μF capacitor.
Power Supply.
Differential Positive Analog Input.
Differential Negative Analog Input.
Power Supply Ground.
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its rising edge, it initiates the conversions
and selects the interface mode of the part: chain mode or CS mode. In CS mode, the SDO pin is
enabled when CNV is low. In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high.
Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as
follows:
Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a
data input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The
digital data level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 18 SCK cycles.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can
enable the serial output signals when low. If SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete,
the busy indicator feature is enabled.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface
(1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V).
AI = analog input, DI = digital input, DO = digital output, and P = power.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The
point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each code to the true straight line (see Figure 22).
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in
terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.
Zero Error
Zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale voltage,
that is, 0 V, from the actual voltage producing the midscale
output code, that is, 0 LSB.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 ... 00 to 100 ... 01) should occur at
a level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.999981 V
for the ±5 V range). The last transition (from 011 … 10 to
011 … 11) should occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below
the nominal full scale (+4.999943 V for the ±5 V range). The
gain error is the deviation of the difference between the actual
level of the last transition and the actual level of the first
transition from the difference between the ideal levels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD as follows:
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
and is expressed in bits.
Noise-Free Code Resolution
Noise-free code resolution is the number of bits beyond which it is
impossible to distinctly resolve individual codes. It is calculated as
Noise-Free Code Resolution = log2(2N/Peak-to-Peak Noise)
and is expressed in bits.
Effective Resolution
Effective resolution is calculated as
Effective Resolution = log2(2N/RMS Input Noise)
and is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in decibels.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the total rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together.
The value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels. It is
measured with a signal at −60 dBF so that it includes all noise
sources and DNL artifacts.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components that are less than
the Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.
The value of SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measurement of the acquisition
performance and is the time between the rising edge of the
CNV input and when the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to accurately
acquire its input after a full-scale step function is applied.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7984 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise, 18-bit
ADC using a successive approximation architecture and is
capable of converting 1,330,000 samples per second (1.33 MSPS).
The AD7984 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7984 can be interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic
family. It is available in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead QFN
(LFCSP) that allows space savings and flexible configurations.
It is pin-for-pin-compatible with the 18-bit AD7982.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7984 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 21 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 18 binary-weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
input of the comparator are connected to GND via SW+ and
SW−. All independent switches are connected to the analog
inputs. Therefore, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling
capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN−
inputs. When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV
input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated. When the
conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The
two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and
connected to the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage
between the inputs IN+ and IN− captured at the end of the
acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing
the comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each
element of the capacitor array between GND and REF, the
comparator input varies by binary-weighted voltage steps
(VREF/2, VREF/4 ... VREF/262,144). The control logic toggles these
switches, starting with the MSB, to bring the comparator back
into a balanced condition. After the completion of this process,
the part returns to the acquisition phase, and the control logic
generates the ADC output code and a busy signal indicator.
Because the AD7984 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.

The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7984 is shown in
Figure 22 and Table 7.
AD7984
ANALOG INPUTS
Figure 24 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7984.
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that
the analog input signal does not exceed the reference input
voltage (REF) by more than 0.3 V. If the analog input signal
exceeds this level, the diodes become forward-biased and start
conducting current. These diodes can handle a forward-biased
current of 130 mA maximum. However, if the supplies of the
input buffer (for example, the supplies of the ADA4841 in
Figure 23) are different from those of REF, the analog input
signal may eventually exceed the supply rails by more than
0.3 V. In such a case (for example, an input buffer with a shortcircuit), the current limitation can be used to protect the part.
When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7984 can be driven directly. Large source impedances
significantly affect the ac performance, especially THD. The
dc performances are less sensitive to the input impedance. The
maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD
that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the
source impedance and the maximum input frequency.
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7984 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier must
meet the following requirements:
•
REF
D1
IN+ OR IN–
CIN
D2
06973-014
CPIN
RIN
The noise generated by the driver amplifier must be kept as
low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise
performance of the AD7984. The noise from the driver is
filtered by the AD7984 analog input circuit’s 1-pole, lowpass filter made by RIN and CIN or by the external filter, if
one is used. Because the typical noise of the AD7984 is
36.24 μV rms, the SNR degradation due to the amplifier is

Figure 25. Analog Input CMRR vs. Frequency
During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog
inputs (IN+ or IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination
of capacitor, CPIN, and the network formed by the series connection
of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is typically
400 Ω and is a lumped component composed of serial resistors
and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is typically 30 pF and
is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
During the sampling phase, where the switches are closed, the
input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a 1-pole,
low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects and
limits noise.

For ac applications, the driver should have a THD performance commensurate with the AD7984.
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7984 analog input circuit must settle
for a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at an 18-bit level
(0.0004%, 4 ppm). In the data sheet of the amplifier,
settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This
may differ significantly from the settling time at an 18-bit
level and should be verified prior to driver selection.

SINGLE-TO-DIFFERENTIAL DRIVER
If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value
depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 μF (X5R,
1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum
performance using a low temperature drift ADR43x reference.
For applications using a single-ended analog signal, either
bipolar or unipolar, the ADA4941-x single-ended-todifferential driver allows for a differential input into the part. The
schematic is shown in Figure 26.
R1 and R2 set the attenuation ratio between the input range and
the ADC range (VREF). R1, R2, and CF are chosen depending on
the desired input resistance, signal bandwidth, antialiasing, and
noise contribution. For example, for the ±10 V range with a 4 kΩ
impedance, R2 = 1 kΩ and R1 = 4 kΩ.
R3 and R4 set the common mode on the IN− input, and R5 and R6
set the common mode on the IN+ input of the ADC. The common
mode should be close to VREF/2. For example, for the ±10 V range
with a single supply, R3 = 8.45 kΩ, R4 = 11.8 kΩ, R5 = 10.5 kΩ,
and R6 = 9.76 kΩ.

Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value

POWER SUPPLY
The AD7984 uses two power supply pins: a core supply (VDD) and
a digital input/output interface supply (VIO). VIO allows direct
interface with any logic between 1.8 V and 5.5 V. To reduce the
number of supplies needed, VIO and VDD can be tied together.
The AD7984 is independent of power supply sequencing between
VIO and VDD. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply
variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 27.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT

The AD7984 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input
impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance
source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND
pins, as explained in the Layout section.
When REF is driven by a very low impedance source (for
example, a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8605),
a 10 μF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate
for optimum performance.

To ensure optimum performance, VDD should be roughly half

VDD should be set to 2.5 V (±5%).

AD7984
DIGITAL INTERFACE
Although the AD7984 has a reduced number of pins, it offers
flexibility in its serial interface modes.
When in CS mode, the AD7984 is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
digital hosts, and DSPs. In this mode, the AD7984 can use
either a 3-wire or 4-wire interface. A 3-wire interface using the
CNV, SCK, and SDO signals minimizes wiring connections
useful, for instance, in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface
using the SDI, CNV, SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV, which
initiates the conversions, to be independent of the readback
timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter sampling or
simultaneous sampling applications.
When in chain mode, the AD7984 provides a daisy-chain feature
using the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a single
data line similar to a shift register.
The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level
when the CNV rising edge occurs. The CS mode is selected if
SDI is high, and the chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The
SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected,
the chain mode is always selected.
In either mode, the AD7984 offers the option of forcing a start
bit in front of the data bits. This start bit can be used as a busy
signal indicator to interrupt the digital host and trigger the data
reading. Otherwise, without a busy indicator, the user must timeout
the maximum conversion time prior to readback.
The busy indicator feature is enabled

high for the maximum possible conversion time to avoid the
generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is
complete, the AD7984 enters the acquisition phase and goes
into standby mode. When CNV goes low, the MSB is output
onto SDO. The remaining data bits are clocked by subsequent
SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although
the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host
using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate, provided
it has an acceptable hold time. After the 18th SCK falling edge or
when CNV goes high (whichever occurs first), SDO returns to
high impedance.
CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7984 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host. The connection diagram is
shown in Figure 28, and the corresponding timing is given in
Figure 29.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. When a conversion is initiated, it continues until
completion irrespective of the state of CNV. This can be useful,
for example, to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices, such
as analog multiplexers; however, CNV must be returned high
before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held

When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high
impedance to low impedance. With a pull-up on the SDO line,
this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the
data reading controlled by the digital host. The AD7984 then
enters the acquisition phase and goes into standby mode. The
data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK
falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the
rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using
the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate, provided it has
an acceptable hold time. After the optional 19th SCK falling edge
or when CNV goes high (whichever occurs first), SDO returns
to high impedance.
This mode is usually used when a single AD7984 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host having an interrupt input.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 30, and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 31.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the
completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV.
Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV can be used to
select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV
must be returned low before the minimum conversion time
elapses and then held low for the maximum possible conversion
time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator.
If multiple AD7984s are selected at the same time, the SDO
output pin handles this contention without damage or induced
latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this contention
as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.

when it is desired to keep CNV, which is used to sample the
analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data
reading. This independence is particularly important in
applications where low jitter on CNV is desired.

onto SDO and the AD7984 enters the acquisition phase and
goes into standby mode. The remaining data bits stored in the
internal shift register are clocked by subsequent SCK falling
edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the internal shift
register and is clocked by the SCK falling edge. Each ADC in
the chain outputs its data MSB first, and 18 × N clocks are
required to read back the N ADCs. The data is valid on both
SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the
data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge will allow a faster
reading rate and consequently more AD7984s in the chain,
provided the digital host has an acceptable hold time. The
maximum conversion rate may be reduced due to the total
readback time.
CHAIN MODE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode can be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7984s on
a 3-wire serial interface. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections, for example, in
isolated multiconverter applications or for systems with a
limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to
clocking a shift register.
A connection diagram example using two AD7984s is shown in
Figure 36, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 37.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK low,

subsequent data readback. When all ADCs in the chain have
completed their conversions, the SDO pin of the ADC closest to
the digital host (see the AD7984 ADC labeled C in Figure 38) is
driven high. This transition on SDO can be used as a busy indicator
to trigger the data readback controlled by the digital host. The
AD7984 then enters the acquisition phase and goes into standby
mode. The data bits stored in the internal shift register are clocked
out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK falling edges. For each ADC,
SDI feeds the input of the internal shift register and is clocked
by the SCK falling edge. Each ADC in the chain outputs its data
MSB first, and 18 × N + 1 clocks are required to read back the N
ADCs. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a
digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate and, consequently, more AD7984s in the chain, provided
the digital host has an acceptable hold time.
CHAIN MODE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode can also be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7984s
on a 3-wire serial interface while providing a busy indicator.
This feature is useful for reducing component count and wiring
connections, for example, in isolated multiconverter applications or
for systems with a limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is
analogous to clocking a shift register.
A connection diagram example using three AD7984s is shown
in Figure 38, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 39.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK
high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the
chain mode, and enables the busy indicator feature. In this
mode, CNV is held high during the conversion phase and the

APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT
The printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the AD7984
should be designed so that the analog and digital sections are
separated and confined to certain areas of the board. The
pinout of the AD7984, with its analog signals on the left side
and its digital signals on the right side, eases this task.
AD7984
At least one ground plane should be used. It can be common or
split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter case,
the planes should be joined underneath the AD7984.
06973-030
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the
AD7984 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV
or clocks, should not run near analog signal paths. Crossover of
digital and analog signals should be avoided.
Figure 40. Example Layout of the AD7984 (Top Layer)
The AD7984 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input
impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic
inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling
ceramic capacitor close to, ideally right up against, the REF and
GND pins and connecting them with wide, low impedance traces.
Finally, the power supplies VDD and VIO of the AD7984
should be decoupled with ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF,
placed close to the AD7984 and connected using short, wide
traces to provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect
of glitches on the power supply lines.
06973-031
An example of layout following these rules is shown in
Figure 40 and Figure 41.
EVALUATING THE AD7984 PERFORMANCE
Figure 41. Example Layout of the AD7984 (Bottom Layer)
Other recommended layouts for the AD7984 are outlined
in the documentation of the evaluation board for the AD7984
(EVAL-AD7984CBZ). The evaluation board package includes
a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation,
and software for controlling the board from a PC via the
EVAL-CONTROL BRD3Z.
