GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7709 is a complete analog front-end for low
frequency measurement applications. The AD7709
contains a 16-bit sigma delta ADC with PGA and can be
configured as 2 fully-differential input channels or 4
pseudo-differential input channels. Inputs signal ranges
from 20mV to 2.56V can be directly converted using the
AD7709. These signals can be converted directly from a
transducer without the need for signal conditioning. Other
on-chip features include three software configurable
current sources, switchable reference inputs, low side
power switches and a 4-bit digital I/O port.
The device operates from a 32kHz crystal with an onboard PLL generating the required internal operating
frequency. The output data rate from the part is software
programmable. The pk-pk resolution from the part varies
with the programmed gain and output data rate.
The part operates from a single +3V or +5V supply.
When operating from +3V supplies, the power dissipation
for the part is XmW. The AD7709 are housed in a 24pin SOIC and TSSOP packages.

NOTES
1
Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
2
See Figures 1 and 2.
3
SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK.
4
These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 3 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
5
This specification only comes into play if CS goes low while SCLK is low. It is required primarily for interfacing to DSP machines.
6
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 3. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove 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.
7
RDY returns high after the first read from the device after an output update. The same data can be read again, if required, while RDY is high, although care should be taken that subsequent reads do not occur close to
thenextoutputupdate.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD7709
ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Overview
The AD7709 incorporates an analog multiplexer with a Sigma-Delta ADC, on-chip programmable gain amplifier and
digital filtering intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals such as those in weigh-scale,
strain-gauge, pressure transducer or temperature measurement applications. The AD7709 offers 16-bit resolution. The
AD7709 can be configured as 2 fully differential input channels or as 4 pseudo differential input channels referenced to
AINCOM. The channel is buffered and can be programmed for one of 8 input ranges from +20mV to +2.56V. Buffering
the input channel means that the part can handle significant source impedances on the analog input and that R, C
filtering (for noise rejection or RFI reduction) can be placed on the analog inputs if required. These input channels are
intended to convert signals directly from sensors without the need for external signal conditioning. Other functions
contained on-chip that augment the operation of the ADC include software configurable current sources, switchable
reference inputs and low side power switches.
The ADC employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize up to 16-bits of no missing codes performance. The
sigma-delta modulator converts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse train whose duty cycle contains the digital
information. A Sinc3 programmable low pass filter is then employed to decimate the modulator output data stream to
give a valid data conversion result at programmable output rates from 5.35Hz (186.77mS) to 105.03Hz (9.52mS). A
Chopping scheme is also employed to minimize ADC channel offset errors. A block diagram of the ADC input channel
is shown in Figure 3 below.

ADC NOISE PERFORMANCE
Tables I and II below show the output rms noise and output peak-to-peak resolution in bits (rounded to the nearest
0.5LSB) for some typical output update rates . The numbers are typical and generated at a differential input voltage of
0V. The output update rate is selected via the SF7-SF0 bits in the Filter Register. It is important to note that the peakto-peak resolution figures represent the resolution for which there will be no code flicker within a six-sigma limit.The
output noise comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device noise) used in
the implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted into the digital domain, quantization
noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is independant of frequency. The quantization noise starts at an even
lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source.The numbers in the tables are
given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers will be the same as the bipolar range
but the peak to peak resolution is now based on half the signal range which effectively means loosing 1 bit of resolution.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD7709
Communications Register- ( A1, A0= 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, the type of read operation and to which register this operation takes place.
For read or write operations, once the subsequent read or write operation to the selected register is complete, the interface returns to where it expects a write operation to the Communications Register. This is the default state of the interface, and on power-up or after a RESET, the AD7709 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 32 serial clock
cycles with DIN high, returns the AD7709 to this default state by resetting the part. Table III outlines the bit designations for the Communications Register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the bit location, CR denoting the bits are in the
Communications Register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream.

CR7
WEN
Write Enable Bit. A 0 must be written to this bit so the write operation to the Communications
Register actually takes place. If a 1 is written to this bit, the part will not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. It will stay at this bit location until a 0 is written to this bit. Once a 0
is written to the WEN bit, the next seven bits will be loaded to the Communications Register.
CR6
R/W
A zero in this bit location indicates that the next operation will be a write to a specified register. A one in this position indicates that the next operation will be a read from the designated
register.

Oscillator Power Down Bit.
If this bit is set, then placing the AD7709 in standby mode will stop the crystal oscillator reducing the power drawn by these parts to a minimum. The oscillator will require 500ms to begin
oscillating when the ADC is taken out of standby mode.
If this bit is cleared the oscillator is not shut off when the ADC is put into standby mode and
will not require the 500ms start-up time when the ADC is taken out of standby.

LOCK
PLL lock status bit.
This bit is SET if the PLL has locked onto the 32kHz crystal oscillator clock. The ADC will
not start conversion till this bit has been set. If the LOCK bit subsequently goes low the ERR
bit will be set.
Configuration Register(CONFIG) :(A1,A0 = 0,1; Power-On-Reset = 000000Hex)
The CONFIG Register is a 24-bit register from which data can either be read or to which data can be written. This
register is used to select the input channel and configure the input range, excitation current sources and I/O port.Table
XIII outlines the bit designations for this register. CONFIG24 through CONFIG0 indicate the bit location, CONFIG
denoting the bits are in the Configuration Register. CONFIG24 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in
brackets indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. A write to the CONFIG register has immediate effect and
does not reset the the ADCs. Thus , if a current source is switched while the ADC is converting the user will have to wait
for the fullsettling time of the sinc^3 filter before getting a fully settled output. This equates to 4 outputs.

AD7709
CONFIGURING THE AD7709
On the AD7709 there are only four user accessable registers and these are configured via the serial interface. Communication with any of these registers is initiated by firstly writing to the Communications Register. The AD7709 starts converting after a power up without the requiring any register to be written to. The defaults conditions are used and the AD7709
operates at a 20Hz update rate offering 50 and 60Hz rejection.
Figure 5 outlines a flow diagram of the sequence used to configure the registers on the AD7709 following a power-up.
The flowchart shows two methods of determining when its valid to read the data register. The first method is hardware
polling of the RDY pin and the second method involves software interrogation of bits in the status and mode registers. The
flowchart details all the necessary programming steps required to initialize the ADC and read data from the selected ADC channel following a power-on or reset.The steps can be broken down as follows:
1. Configure and initialize the microcontroller or microprocessor serial port.
2. Initialize the AD7709 by configuring the following registers:
a)FILTER registers which determines the update rate. The AD7709 must be put into standby mode before writing to the
filter register.
b) CONFIGURATION register to select the input channel to be converted, its input range and reference. This register is
also used to configure the internal current sources, power switches and I/O port.
Both of these operations consist of a write to the communications register to specify the next operation as a write to a specified
register. Data is then written to this register. When each sequence is complete the ADC defaults to waiting for another write to
the communications register to specify the next operation.
3) When configuration is complete the user needs to determine when its valid to read the data from the data register. This
is accomplished by either polling the RDY pin (hardware polling) or by interrogating the bits in the STATUS register
(software polling). Both are shown in the following flowchart.
