GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7190 is a low noise, complete analog front end for high
precision measurement applications. It contains a low noise,
24-bit sigma-delta (∑-Δ) analog to digital converter (ADC).
The on-chip low noise gain stage means that signals of small
amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC.
The device can be configured to have two differential inputs or
four pseudo differential inputs. The on-chip channel sequencer
allows several channels to be enabled, and the AD7190
sequentially converts on each enabled channel. This simplifies
communication with the part. 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 two digital filter options. The choice of filter
affects the rms noise/noise-free resolution at the programmed
output data rate, the settling time, and the 50 Hz/60 Hz
rejection. For applications that require all conversions to be
settled, the AD7190 includes a zero latency feature.
APPLICATIONS
The part operates with 5 V analog power supply and a digital
power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. It consumes a current of
6 mA. It is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP package.

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 fullscale calibration reduces the gain error to the order of the noise for the programmed gain and output data rate.
4
Full-scale error applies to both positive and negative full scale and applies at the factory calibration conditions (AVDD = 5 V, gain = 1, TA = 25°C).
5
REJ60 is a bit in the mode register. When the output data rate is set to 50 Hz, setting REJ60 to 1 places a notch at 60 Hz, allowing 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.

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
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 AD7190 has an internal 4.92 MHz clock. This internal clock can be
made available on the MCLK2 pin. The clock for the AD7190 can be provided externally also 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 the MCLK1 pin left 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.
Digital Output Pin. This pin can function as a general-purpose output bit referenced between AVDD and AGND.
Digital Output Pin. This pin can function as a general-purpose output bit referenced between AVDD and AGND.
Digital Output Pin/Positive Reference Input. This pin functions as a general-purpose output bit referenced
between AVDD and AGND. When REFSEL = 1, this pin functions as REFIN2(+). An external reference can be
applied between REFIN2(+) and REFIN2(−). REFIN2(+) can lie anywhere between AVDD and GND + 1 V. The
nominal reference voltage, (REFIN2(+) − REFIN2(−)), is AVDD, but the part functions with a reference from
1 V to AVDD.
Digital Output Pin/Negative Reference Input. This pin functions as a general-purpose output bit referenced
between AVDD and AGND. When REFSEL = 1, this pin functions as REFIN2(−). This reference input can lie
anywhere between GND and AVDD − 1 V.
No Connect. This pin should be tied to AGND.
Analog Input AIN1 to Analog Input AIN4 are referenced to this input when configured for pseudo
differential operation.
Analog Input. It can be configured as the positive input of a fully differential input pair when used with
AIN2 or as a pseudo differential input when used with AINCOM.
Analog Input. It can be configured as the negative input of a fully differential input pair when used with
AIN1 or as a pseudo differential input when used with AINCOM.

AIN3 or as a pseudo differential input when used with AINCOM.
Positive Reference Input. An external reference can be applied between REFIN1(+) and REFIN1(−).
REFIN1(+) can lie anywhere between AVDD and GND + 1 V. The nominal reference voltage, (REFIN1(+) −
REFIN1(−)), is AVDD, but the part functions with a reference from 1 V to AVDD.
Negative Reference Input. This reference input can lie anywhere between GND and AVDD − 1 V.
Bridge Power-Down Switch to AGND.
Analog Ground Reference Point.
Digital Ground Reference Point.
Analog Supply Voltage, 4.75 V to 5.25 V. AVDD is independent of DVDD.
Digital Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. DVDD is independent of AVDD.
Logic input that allows for synchronization of the digital filters and analog modulators when using
multiple AD7190 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 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.
Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDYserves 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.

AD7190
RMS NOISE AND RESOLUTION
The AD7190 has a choice of two filter types: sinc4 and sinc3.
In addition, the AD7190 can be operated with chop enabled
or chop disabled.
on a single channel. The effective resolution is also shown, and
the output peak-to-peak (p-p) resolution, or noise-free resolution, is listed in parentheses. It is important to note that the
effective resolution is calculated using the rms noise, wheras the
p-p resolution is calculated based on peak-to-peak noise. The pp resolution represents the resolution for which there is no code
flicker. These numbers are typical and are rounded to the
nearest ½ LSB.
The following tables show the rms noise of the AD7190 for some
of the output data rates and gain settings with chop disabled
and enabled for the sinc4 and sinc3 filters. The numbers given
are for the bipolar input range with the external 5 V reference.
These numbers are typical and are generated with a differential
input voltage of 0 V when the ADC is continuously converting

ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The ADC is controlled and configured via a number of on-chip
registers, which are described in the following sections. In the
descriptions, set implies a Logic 1 state and cleared implies a
Logic 0 state, unless otherwise noted.
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0)
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 determines whether the next operation is a read
or write operation and in which register this operation takes
place. For read or write operations, when the subsequent read
or write operation to the selected register is complete, the
CR7
WEN(0)
CR6
R/W(0)
CR5
RS2(0)
CR4
RS1(0)
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 14 outlines the bit designations for the
communications register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the bit
locations, 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. A 0 must be written to this bit for a write to the communications register to occur. If a 1 is
the first bit written, the part does not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. 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.
A 0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation is a write to a specified register. A 1 in this 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 15.
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, the instruction 01011100 must be written
to the communications register. To disable continuous read, the 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 are seen on DIN. Therefore, DIN should be held low until an instruction is to be
written to the device.
These bits must be programmed to Logic 0 for correct operation.

STATUS REGISTER
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x80)
The status register is an 8-bit, read-only register. To access the ADC status register, the user must write to the communications register,
select the next operation to be a read, and load Bit RS2, Bit RS1, and Bit RS0 with 0. Table 16 outlines the bit designations for the status
register. SR0 through SR7 indicate the bit locations, SR denoting that the bits are in the status register. SR7 denotes the first bit of the data
stream. The number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit.

Description
Ready bit for the ADC. Cleared when data is written to the ADC data register. The RDY bit is set
automatically after the ADC data register is read, or after 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. The ERR 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 or
underrange or the absence of a reference voltage. The bit is cleared by a write operation to start a conversion.
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. The ERR bit is also set if the voltage applied to
the selected reference input is invalid.
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.
MODE REGISTER
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 1; Power-On/Reset = 0x080060)
The mode register is a 24-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to select the
operating mode, the output data rate, and the clock source. Table 17 outlines the bit designations for the mode register. MR0 through
MR23 indicate the bit locations, MR denoting that the bits are in the mode register. MR23 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The
number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. Any write to the mode register resets the modulator and
filter and sets the RDY bit.

Description
Mode select bits. These bits select the operating mode of the AD7190 (see Table 18).
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 are used to select the clock source for the AD7190. Either the on-chip 4.92 MHz clock or an
external clock can be used. The ability to use an external clock allows several AD7190 devices to be
synchronized. Also, 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is improved when an accurate external clock drives the
AD7190.

These bits must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
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
when chop is disabled. For a given output data rate, fADC, the sinc3 filter has a settling time of fADC/3
while the sinc4 filter has a settling time of fADC/4. 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.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Single cycle conversion enable bit. When this bit is set, the AD7190 settles in one conversion cycle so
that it functions as a zero latency ADC. This bit has no affect when multiple analog input channels are
enabled or when the single conversion mode is selected.
This bit enables a notch at 60 Hz when the output data rate is equal to 50 Hz. The bit should only be
set when chop is disabled and when the device is operating with the zero latency function disabled.
This bit 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, it also determines the output noise (and, therefore, the effective
resolution) of the device. When chop is disabled and continuous conversion mode is selected, the first
notch of the filter occurs at a frequency determined by the relationship:
Filter First Notch Frequency = (fMOD/64)/FS
where FS is the decimal equivalent of the code in the FS0 to FS9 bits and is in the range 1 to 1023, and
fmod is the modulator frequency, which is equal to MCLK/16. With a nominal MCLK of 4.92 MHz, this
results in a first notch frequency range from 4.69 Hz to 4.8 kHz.
Changing the filter notch frequency or changing the gain impacts resolution. Table 6 through Table
13 show the effect of the filter notch frequency and gain on the effective resolution of the AD7190.
The output data rate (or effective conversion time) for the device is equal to the frequency selected for
the first notch of the filter. For example, if the first notch of the filter is selected at 50 Hz, a new word is
available at a 50 Hz rate or every 20 ms. When chop is enabled, the output data rate equals
Output Data Rate = (fMOD/64)/(N x FS)
where FS is the decimal equivalent of the code in the FS0 to FS9 bits and is in the range 1 to 1023, and
fmod is the modulator frequency, which is equal to MCLK/16. 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.

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 recon-figuration 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 up to 1 ms 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 and 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 are
still provided.
Power-down mode. In power-down mode, all AD7190 circuitry, except the bridge power-down switch, is powered
down. The bridge power-down switch remains active because the user may need to power up the sensor prior to
powering up the AD7190 for settling reasons. 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 required each time the gain of a channel is changed to minimize the fullscale error.
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 required
each time 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
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 required
each time the gain of a channel is changed.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x000117)
The configuration register is a 24-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to
configure the ADC for unipolar or bipolar mode, to enable or disable the buffer, to enable or disable the burnout currents, to select the
gain, and to select the analog input channel.
Table 19 outlines the bit designations for the filter register. CON0 through CON23 indicate the bit locations. CON denotes that the bits
are in the configuration register. CON23 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset
default status of that bit.

Description
Chop enable bit. When the chop bit is cleared, chop is disabled. When the chop bit is set, chop is
enabled. When chop is enabled, the offset and offset drift of the ADC are continuously minimized.
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. 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.
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 P1 and P0 pins.
These bits must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Channel select bits. These bits are used to select which channels are enabled on the AD7190. See Table 20.
Several channels can be selected, and the AD7190 automatically sequences them. The conversion on
each channel requires the complete settling time.
When this bit is set to 1 by the user, 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 0.5 V typically. The reference detect
circuitry only operates when the ADC is active.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Configures the ADC for a buffered or an unbuffered mode of operation. If cleared, the ADC operates in
unbuffered mode, lowering the power consumption of the device. If set, the ADC operates in buffered
mode, allowing the user to place source impedances on the front end without contributing gain errors
to the system. With the buffer disabled, the voltage on the analog input pins can be from 50 mV below
GND to 50 mV above AVDD. 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.
Polarity select bit. When this bit is set, unipolar operation is selected. When this bit is cleared, bipolar
operation is selected.
Gain select bits. Written by the user to select the ADC input range as follows:

(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 0, 1; Power-On/Reset = 0x00)
The conversion result from the ADC is stored in this data
register. This is a read-only, 24-bit register. On 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 required 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 21 outlines the bit designations for the GPOCON register.
GP0 through GP7 indicate the bit locations. GP denotes that the
bits are in the GPOCON register. GP7 denotes the first bit of
the data stream. The number in parentheses indicates the
power-on/reset default status of that bit.

Description
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Bridge power-down switch control bit. This bit is set by the user to close the bridge power-down switch
BPDSW to AGND. The switch can sink up to 30 mA. The bit is cleared by the user to open the bridge powerdown switch. When the ADC is placed in power-down mode, the bridge power-down switch remains active.
Digital Output P3 and Digital Output P2 enable. When GP32EN is set, the digital outputs, P3 and P2, are
active. When GP32EN is cleared, the P3 and P2 pins are tristated, and the P3DAT and P2DAT bits are ignored.
Digital Output P1 and Digital Output P0 enable. When GP10EN is set, the digital outputs, P1 and P0, 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.
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; that is, a fault condition on the P3
pin is detected.
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; that is, a fault condition on the P2
pin is detected.
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; that is, a fault condition on the P1
pin is detected.
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. When the
GPOCON register is read, the P0DAT bit reflects the status of the P0 pin; that is, a fault condition on the P0
pin is detected.
OFFSET REGISTER
FULL-SCALE REGISTER
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x800000)
(RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 1; 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 AD7190 has four offset registers; therefore, each channel
has a dedicated offset register. Each of these registers is a 24-bit
read/write register. This register is used in conjunction with its
associated full-scale register to form a register pair. The poweron reset value is automatically overwritten if an internal or
system zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user. The AD7190
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 AD7190 has four fullscale registers; therefore, each channel has a dedicated full-scale
register. The full-scale registers are read/write registers. However,
when writing to the full-scale registers, the ADC must be placed
in power-down mode or idle mode. These registers are configured
at power-on with factory-calibrated, full-scale calibration coefficients, 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
The AD7190 is an ultralow noise ADC that incorporates a
∑-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
gauge applications.
The part can be configured to have two differential inputs or four
pseudo differential inputs that can be buffered or unbuffered.
Figure 18 shows the basic connections required to operate the part.
The output data rate can be programmed from 4.7 Hz to 4800 Hz;
that is, FS[9:0] can have a value from 1 to 1023.
The above equation is valid for both the sinc3 and sinc4 filters.
The settling time for the sinc4 filter is equal to
tSETTLE = 4/fADC
FILTER, OUTPUT DATA RATE, SETTLING TIME
A ∑-Δ ADC consists of a modulator followed by a digital filter.
The AD7190 has two filter options: a sinc3 filter and a sinc4
filter. The filter is selected using the sinc3 bit in the mode
register. When sinc3 is set to 0 (default value), the sinc4 filter is
selected. The sinc3 filter is selected when sinc3 is set to 1.
Whereas the settling time for the sinc3 filter is equal to
tSETTLE = 3/fADC
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the frequency response of the sinc4
and sinc3 filters, respectively, for an output data rate of 50 Hz.

At low update rates (<1 kHz), the noise-free resolution is
comparable for the two filter types. However, at the higher
update rates, the sinc4 filter gives better noise free resolution.

FILTER GAIN (dB)
The sinc4 filter also leads to better 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection.
While the notch positions are not affected by the order of the
filter, the higher order filter has wider notches, which leads to
better rejection in the band (±1 Hz) around the notches. It also
gives better stop-band attenuation. The benefit of the sinc3 filter
is its lower settling time for the same output data rate.

The value of FS[9:0] can be varied from 1 to 1023. This results
in an output data rate of 1.173 Hz to 1200 Hz for the sinc4 filter

As shown in the plots, the sinc4 filter provides 50 Hz (±1 Hz)
rejection in excess of 120 dB, assuming a stable master clock,
while the sinc3 filter gives a rejection of 100 dB. The stop-band
attenuation is typically 53 dB for the sinc4 filter but equal to
40 dB for the sinc3 filter.
The 3 dB frequency for the sinc4 filter is equal to

With chop enabled, the analog input offset and offset drift are
minimized. When chop is enabled, the analog input pins are
continuously swapped. Therefore, with the analog input pins
connected in one direction, the settling time of the sinc filter is
allowed to elapse until a valid conversion is available. The analog
input pins are then inverted and another valid conversion is
obtained. Subsequent conversions are then 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.

Normal mode rejection is one of the main functions of the
digital filter. With chop disabled, 50 Hz rejection is obtained
when the output data rate is set to 50 Hz, whereas 60 Hz
rejection is achieved when the output data rate is set to 60 Hz.
Simul-taneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection is obtained when the
output data rate is set to 10 Hz. Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz
rejection can also be achieved using the REJ60 bit in the mode
register. When the output data rate is programmed to 50 Hz and
the REJ60 bit is set to 1, notches are placed at both 50 Hz and 60
Hz.
REJ60 bit at these output data rates further improves the
rejection at 60 Hz. Figure 25 and Figure 26 show the filter
response for both output data rates when REJ60 is set to 1.

Again, the sinc4 filter provides better 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection
than the sinc3 filter. In addition, better stop-band attenuation is
achieved with the sinc4 filter.
When chop is enabled, lower output data rates must be used to
achieve 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection. An output data rate of 12.5 Hz
gives simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection when the sinc4 filter is
selected, whereas an output data rate of 16.7 Hz gives simultaneous
50 Hz/ 60 Hz rejection when the sinc3 filter is used. Setting the
The AD7190 includes a channel sequencer, which simplifies
communications with the device in multichannel applications.
Bis CH0 to Bit CH7 in the configuration register are used to
enable the required channels. In continuous conversion mode,
the ADC selects each of the enabled channels in sequence and
performs a conversion on the channel. The RDY pin goes low
when a valid conversion is available on each channel. When
several channels are enabled, the contents of the status register
should be attached to the 24-bit word so that the user can
identify the channel that corresponds to each conversion. To
attach the status register value to the conversion, Bit DAT_STA
in the mode register should be set to 1.
When several channels are enabled, the ADC must allow the
complete settling time to generate a valid conversion each time
that the channel is changed. The AD7190 takes care of this:
when a channel is selected, the modulator and filter are reset

and the RDY pin is taken high. The AD7190 then allows the
complete settling time to generate the first conversion.

RDY only goes low when a valid conversion is available. The
AD7190 then selects the next enabled channel and converts on
that channel. The user can then read the data register while the

For example, if the sinc4 filter is selected, chop is disabled and
zero latency is disabled, conversions are available at 1/fADC when
converting on a single channel, where fADC is equal to the output
data rate. The settling time is equal to

Zero Latency
Zero latency is enabled by setting the SINGLE bit in the mode
register to 1. With zero latency, the complete settling time is
allowed for each conversion. Therefore,
fADC = 1/tSETTLE
Zero latency means that the output data rate is constant
irrespective of the number of analog input channels enabled;
the user does not need to consider the effects of channel
changes on the output data rate. The disadvantages of zero
latency are the increased noise for a given output data rate
compared with the nonzero latency mode. For example, when
zero latency is not enabled, the AD7190 has a noise-free
resolution of 18.5 bits when the output data rate is 50 Hz and
the gain is set to 128. When zero latency is enabled, the ADC
has a resolution of 17.5 bits peak-to-peak when the output data
rate is 50 Hz. The filter response also changes. Figure 19 shows
the filter response for the sinc4 filter when the output data rate
is 50 Hz (zero latency disabled). Figure 28 shows the filter
response when zero latency is enabled and the output data rate
is 50 Hz (sinc4 filter); 50 Hz rejection is no longer achieved. The
ADC needs to operate with an output data rate of 12.5 Hz to
obtain 50 Hz rejection when zero latency is enabled. To obtain
simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection, the REJ60 bit in the mode
register can be set when the output data rate is equal to 12.5 Hz.
The stop-band attenuation is considerably reduced also (3 dB
compared with 53 dB in the nonzero latency mode).
As indicated in the On-Chip Registers section, the programmable
functions of the AD7190 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 also determines which
register this read or write operation affects. 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.
The serial interface of the AD7190 consists of four signals: CS,
DIN, SCLK, and DOUT/RDY. The DIN line is used to transfer
data into the on-chip registers, whereas 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 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
AD7190 in systems where several components are connected to
the serial bus.
Rev. 0 | Page 29 of 40
AD7190
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show timing diagrams for interfacing to the
AD7190, with CS being used to decode the part. Figure 3 shows
the timing for a read operation from the output shift register of
the AD7190, 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 have been 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 AD7190. 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 AD7190 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 serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s to the
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7190 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 gets
lost due to a software error or some glitch in the system. Reset
returns the interface to the state in which it is expecting 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 500 μs before addressing the serial
interface.
The AD7190 can be configured to continuously convert or to
perform a single conversion. See Figure 29 through Figure 31.
Single Conversion Mode
In single conversion mode, the AD7190 is placed in powerdown mode after conversions. When a single conversion is
initiated by setting MD2, MD1, and MD0 to 0, 0, 1, respectively,
in the mode register, the AD7190 powers up, performs a single
conversion, and then returns to power-down mode. The onchip oscillator requires 1 ms 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 several channels are enabled, the ADC sequences through
the enabled channels and performs a conversion on each
channel. When a conversion is started, DOUT/RDY goes high
and remains high until a valid conversion is available. As soon
as the conversion is available, DOUT/RDY goes low. The ADC
then selects the next channel and begins a conversion. The user
can read the present conversion while the next conversion is
being performed. As soon as the next conversion is complete,
the data register is updated; therefore, the user has a limited
period in which to read the conversion. When the ADC has
performed a single conversion on each of the selected channels,
it returns to power-down mode.
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
AD7190 converts continuously, the RDY bit in the status
register going 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. The digital conversion is placed on the
DOUT/RDY pin as soon as SCLK pulses are applied to the
ADC. DOUT/RDY returns high when the conversion is read.
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.
When several channels are enabled, the ADC continuously
loops through the enabled channels, performing one conversion
on each channel per loop. The data register is updated as soon
as each conversion is available. The DOUT/RDY pin pulses low
each time a conversion is available. The user can then read the
conversion while the ADC converts on the next enabled channel.
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.

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 AD7190 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, the 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 several channels are enabled, the ADC continuously
steps through the enabled channels and performs one conversion on each channel each time that it is selected. DOUT/
RDY pulses low when a conversion is available. When the user
applies sufficient SCLK pulses, the data is automatically placed
on the DOUT/RDY pin. 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. The status register indicates the
channel to which the conversion corresponds.
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. Also, the user must ensure that the data-word is 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 AD7190 to
read the word, the serial output register is reset when the next

AD7190
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL
The AD7190 has two differential/four pseudo differential analog
input channels which can be buffered or unbuffered. In 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 gauges or resistance
temperature detectors (RTDs).
When BUF = 0, the part is operated in 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 22 shows the
allowable external resistance/capacitance values for unbuffered
mode at a gain of 1 such that no gain error at the 20-bit level is
introduced.

The absolute input voltage range in buffered mode is restricted
to a range between AGND + 250 mV and AVDD – 250 mV. Care
must be taken in setting up the common-mode voltage so that
these limits are not exceeded. Otherwise, there is degradation in
linearity and noise performance.
The absolute input voltage in unbuffered mode includes the
range between AGND – 50 mV and AVDD + 50 mV. The
negative absolute input voltage limit does allow the possibility
of monitoring small true bipolar signals with respect to GND.
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 AD7190 is 0 to 3.75 V/gain in unipolar mode or ±3.75 V/
gain in bipolar mode.
BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
The analog input to the AD7190 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 GND. Unipolar and bipolar signals on the AIN(+) input
are referenced to the voltage on the AIN(−) input. For example,
if AIN(−) is 2.5 V and the ADC is configured for unipolar mode
with a gain of 1, the input voltage range on the AIN(+) pin is
2.5 V to 5 V when a 2.5 V reference is used.
If the ADC is configured for bipolar mode, the analog input
range on the AIN(+) input is 0 V to 5 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 voltage
can be represented as
Code = (2N × AIN × gain)/VREF
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output
code is offset binary with a negative full-scale voltage resulting
in a code of 000...000, a zero differential input voltage resulting
in a code of 100...000, and a positive full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog
input voltage can be represented as
Code = 2N – 1 × [(AIN × gain/VREF) + 1]
where AIN is the analog input voltage, gain is the PGA setting
(1 to 128), and N = 24.
PGA
When the gain stage is enabled, the output from the buffer is
applied to the input of the programmable gain array (PGA).
The presence of the PGA means that signals of small amplitude
can be gained within the AD7190 while still maintaining excellent noise performance. For example, when the gain is set to
128, the rms noise is 8.5 nV, typically, when the output data rate
is 4.7 Hz, which is equivalent to 23 bits of effective resolution or
20.5 bits of noise-free resolution.
The AD7190 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 8, 16, 32,
64, and 128 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.
CLOCK
The AD7190 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 AD7190. 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 AD7190 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 must be left floating.
Rev. 0 | Page 33 of 40
AD7190
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 need to 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.
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7190
include the ADR421 and ADR431, which are low noise
references. Also note that the reference inputs provide a high
impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each
reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on
these inputs can cause dc gain errors, depending on the output
impedance of the source driving the reference inputs.
BURNOUT CURRENTS
Reference voltage sources like those recommended above (for
example, ADR431) typically have low output impedances and
are, therefore, tolerant to having decoupling capacitors on
REFINx(+) without introducing gain errors in the system.
Deriving the reference input voltage across an external resistor
means that the reference input sees a significant external source
impedance. External decoupling on the REFINx pins is not
recommended in this type of circuit configuration.
The AD7190 contains two 500 nA constant current generators,
one sourcing current from AVDD to AIN(+) and one sinking
current from AIN(−) to GND. 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. 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. If the resultant voltage measured is full scale, the
user needs to verify why this is the case. A full-scale reading
could mean that the front-end sensor is open circuit. It could
also mean that the front-end sensor is overloaded and is
justified in outputting full scale, or the reference may be absent
and the NOREF bit in the status register is set, thus clamping
the data to all 1s.
When reading all 1s from the output, the user needs to check
these three cases before making a judgment. 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.
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(x) or REFIN2(x)).
The reference source for the AD7190 is selected using the
REFSEL bit in the configuration register. The REFIN2(x) 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
GND to AVDD. The reference input is unbuffered; therefore,
excessive R-C source impedances introduce gain errors. The
reference voltage REFIN (REFINx(+) − REFINx(−)) is AVDD
nominal, but the AD7190 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 AD7190 is used in a nonratiometric application, use a low noise reference.
REFERENCE DETECT
The AD7190 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 goes below 0.3 V or either the REFINx(+)
or REFINx(–) input is open circuit, the AD7190 detects that it
no longer has a valid reference. In this case, the NOREF bit of
the status register is set to 1. If the AD7190 is performing normal
conversions and the NOREF bit becomes active, the conversion
results 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. If the
AD7190 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.
RESET
The circuitry and serial interface of the AD7190 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. A reset is automatically
performed on power-up. When a reset is initiated, the user
must allow a period of 500 μs before accessing any of the onchip registers. A reset is useful if the serial interface becomes
asynchronous due to noise on the SCLK line.

AD7190
SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION
Temp (K) = (Conversion – 0x800000)/2815 K
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 four master clock cycles
to implement the synchronization function.
Temp (°C) = Temp (K) – 273
If multiple AD7190 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 AD7190
into a consistent, known state. While the SYNC pin is low, the
AD7190 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 AD7190 devices, a common signal to
their SYNC pins synchronizes their operation. This is normally
done after each AD7190 has performed its own calibration or
has had calibration coefficients loaded into its calibration
registers. The conversions from the AD7190s 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 disadvantage of this scheme is that the settling time of the
filter has to be allowed for each data register update. This means
that the rate at which the data register is updated is reduced. For
example, if the ADC is configured to use the sinc4 filter, zero
latency is disabled and chop is disabled, the data register update
takes four times longer.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Embedded in the AD7190 is a temperature sensor. This is
selected using the CH2 bit in the configuration register. When
the CH2 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 K. A one-point calibration is needed to get the optimum performance from the sensor. Therefore, a conversion at a
known temperature should be recorded. Using this point along
with the 0 K point, the gain error can be calculated. The
sensitivity is 2815 codes/°C, typically. The equation for the
temperature sensor is
Following the one point calibration, the internal temperature
sensor has an accuracy of ±2 °C, typically.
BRIDGE POWER-DOWN SWITCH
In bridge applications such as strain gauges and load cells, the
bridge itself consumes the majority of the current in the system.
For example, a 350 Ω load cell requires 15 mA of current when
excited with a 5 V supply. To minimize the current consumption
of the system, the bridge can be disconnected (when it is not
being used) using the bridge power-down switch. Figure 18
shows how the bridge power-down switch is used. The switch
can withstand 30 mA of continuous current, and it has an on
resistance of 10 Ω maximum.
LOGIC OUTPUTS
The AD7190 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, the bits P0DAT to 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 AD7190 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 AD7190, the AD7190 modulator and filter
should be reset using the SYNC pin each time that the multiplexer channel is changed.
ENABLE PARITY
The AD7190 also has a parity check function on-chip that
detects 1-bit errors in the serial communications between the
ADC and the microprocessor. 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 eleven 1s (binary format), the parity bit is
set to 1 so that the total number of 1s in the serial transmission is
even. If the microprocessor receives an odd number of 1s, it
knows that the data received has been corrupted.
Rev. 0 | Page 35 of 40
AD7190
The parity function only detects 1-bit errors. For example, two
bits of corrupt data can result in the microprocessor receiving an
even number of 1s. Therefore, an error condition is not detected.
CALIBRATION
The AD7190 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.
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 is initiated. 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 AD7190 reverts to idle mode.
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, external ADC errors 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 required 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.
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 300 Hz, 150 Hz, and 100 Hz. Using these lower
output data rates results in better calibration accuracy.
The gain error of the AD7190 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. The offset
error is, typically, 100 μV/gain. If the gain is changed, it is
advisable to perform a calibration. A zero-scale calibration (an
internal zero-scale calibration or system zero-scale calibration)
reduces the offset error to the order of the noise. Table 23 shows
the 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 0.0075%, typically.
A system full-sale calibration reduces the gain error to the order
of the noise.

The AD7190 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.
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 AD7190 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
Rev. 0 | Page 36 of 40
AD7190
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
from AINx(+) to AINx(−) along with a 0.01 μF capacitor from
each analog input to AGND) is advised. The digital filter also
removes noise from the analog and reference inputs provided
these noise sources do not saturate the analog modulator. As a
result, the AD7190 is more immune to noise interference than a
conventional high resolution converter. However, because the
resolution of the AD7190 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 AD7190 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 AD7190.
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 AD7190
because a ground loop results. In these situations, it is
recommended that ground pins of the AD7190 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 allow the analog ground plane
to run under the AD7190 to prevent noise coupling. The power
supply lines to the AD7190 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 in parallel with
0.1 μF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best 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 AD7190, 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 AD7190
and AGND and the recommended digital supply decoupling
capacitor between the DVDD pin of the AD7190 and DGND.

AD7190
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
bridge power-down switch is connected in series with the cold
side of the bridge. In normal operation, the switch is closed and
measurements can be taken. In applications in which current
consumption is being minimized, the AD7190 can be placed in
standby mode, thus significantly reducing the power consumed
in the application. In addition, the bridge power-down switch
can be opened while in standby mode, thus avoiding unnecessary
power consumption by the front-end transducer. When the part
is taken out of standby mode and the bridge power-down switch
is closed, the user should ensure that the front-end circuitry is
fully settled before attempting a read from the AD7190.
The AD7190 provides a low-cost, high resolution analog-todigital function. Because the analog-to-digital function is
provided by a ∑-Δ architecture, it makes the part more
immune to noisy environments, making it ideal for use in
sensor measurement and industrial and process control
applications.
WEIGH SCALES
Figure 32 shows the AD7190 being used in a weigh scale
application. The load cell is arranged in a bridge network and
gives a differential output voltage between its OUT+ and OUT–
terminals. Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full-scale
output range from the transducer is 10 mV when the sensitivity
is 2 mV/V. The excitation voltage for the bridge can be used to
directly provide the reference for the ADC because the reference
input range includes the supply voltage.
For simplicity, external filters are not included in Figure 32.
However, an R-C antialias filter should 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 from AINx(+) to AINx(−), and 0.01 μF capacitors from
AINx(+)/AINx(−) to AGND.
A second advantage of using the AD7190 in transducer-based
applications is that the bridge power-down switch can be fully
utilized to minimize the power consumption of the system. The
