When MODE = 0 (18-bit interface mode), this pin is Bit 0 of the parallel port data output bus and the
data coding is straight binary. In all other modes, this pin allows choice of straight binary/binary twos
complement. When OB/2C is HIGH, the digital output is straight binary; when LOW, the MSB is inverted,
resulting in a twos complement output from its internal shift register.
Conversion Mode Selection. When this input is HIGH and the IMPULSE pin is LOW, WARP selects the
fastest mode, the maximum throughput is achievable, and a minimum conversion rate must be applied
in order to guarantee full specified accuracy. When LOW, full accuracy is maintained independent of the
minimum conversion rate.
Conversion Mode Selection. When this input is HIGH and the WARP pin is LOW, IMPULSE selects a
reduced power mode. In this mode, the power dissipation is approximately proportional to the
sampling rate. When WARP and IMPULSE pins are LOW, the NORMAL mode is selected.
When MODE = 0 (18-bit interface mode), this pin is Bit 1 of the parallel port data output bus. In all other
modes, this input pin controls the form in which data is output, as shown in Table 7.

In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 6 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this input, part of the serial port, is used as a digital select input for
choosing the internal data clock or an external data clock. With EXT/INT tied LOW, the internal clock is
selected on the SCLK output. With EXT/INT set to a logic HIGH, output data is synchronized to an
external clock signal connected to the SCLK input.

In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 7 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this input, part of the serial port, is used to select the active state of the
SYNC signal. When LOW, SYNC is active HIGH. When HIGH, SYNC is active LOW.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 8 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this input, part of the serial port, is used to invert the SCLK signal. It is
active in both master and slave mode.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 9 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this input, part of the serial port, is used as either an external data input
or a read mode selection input depending on the state of EXT/INT. When EXT/ INT is HIGH, RDC/SDIN
could be used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results from two or more ADCs onto a single
SDOUT line. The digital data level on SDIN is output on SDOUT with a delay of 18 SCLK periods after the
initiation of the read sequence. When EXT/INT is LOW, RDC/SDIN is used to select the read mode. When
RDC/SDIN is HIGH, the data is output on SDOUT during conversion. When RDC/SDIN is LOW, the data
can be output on SDOUT only when the conversion is complete.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power Ground.
Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface (5 V or 3 V). Should
not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.
Digital Power. Nominally at 5 V.
Digital Power Ground.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 10 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this output, part of the serial port, is used as a serial data output
synchronized to SCLK. Conversion results are stored in an on-chip register. The AD7674 provides the
conversion result, MSB first, from its internal shift register. The data format is determined by the logic
level of OB/2C. In serial mode when EXT/INT is LOW, SDOUT is valid on both edges of SCLK. In serial
mode when EXT/INT is HIGH and INVSCLK is LOW, SDOUT is updated on the SCLK rising edge and is
valid on the next falling edge; if INVSCLK is HIGH, SDOUT is updated on the SCLK falling edge and is
valid on the next rising edge.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 11 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this pin, part of the serial port, is used as a serial data clock input or
output, dependent upon the logic state of the EXT/INT pin. The active edge where the data SDOUT is
updated depends upon the logic state of the INVSCLK pin.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 12 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), this output, part of the serial port, is used as a digital output frame
synchronization for use with the internal data clock (EXT/INT = Logic LOW). When a read sequence is
initiated and INVSYNC is LOW, SYNC is driven HIGH and remains HIGH while the SDOUT output is valid.
When a read sequence is initiated and INVSYNC is HIGH, SYNC is driven LOW and remains LOW while
SDOUT output is valid.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 13 of the parallel port data output bus.
In MODE = 3 (serial mode) and when EXT/ INT is HIGH, this output, part of the serial port, is used as an
incomplete read error flag. In slave mode, when a data read is started and not complete when the
following conversion is complete, the current data is lost and RDERROR is pulsed high.
Bit 14 to Bit 17 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus. These pins are always outputs regardless of the
interface mode.
Description
When MODE = 0 or 1 (18-bit or 16-bit interface mode), this pin is Bit 2 of the parallel port data output
bus. In all other modes, this input pin controls the form in which data is output, as shown in Table 7.
In all modes except MODE = 3, this output is used as Bit 3 of the parallel port data output bus. This pin is
always an output, regardless of the interface mode.
In all modes except MODE = 3, these pins are Bit 4 and Bit 5 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE = 3 (serial mode), when EXT/INT is LOW and RDC/SDIN is LOW (serial master read after
convert), these inputs, part of the serial port, are used to slow down, if desired, the internal serial clock
that clocks the data output. In other serial modes, these pins are not used.

Description
Busy Output. Transitions HIGH when a conversion is started. Remains HIGH until the conversion is
complete and the data is latched into the on-chip shift register. The falling edge of BUSY could be used
as a data ready clock signal.
Must Be Tied to Digital Ground.
Read Data. When CS and RD are both LOW, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled.
Chip Select. When CS and RD are both LOW, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled. CS is
also used to gate the external clock.
Reset Input. When set to a logic HIGH, reset the AD7674. Current conversion, if any, is aborted. If not
used, this pin could be tied to DGND.
Power-Down Input. When set to a logic HIGH, power consumption is reduced and conversions are
inhibited after the current one is completed.
Start Conversion. A falling edge on CNVST puts the internal sample/hold into the hold state and initiates
a conversion. In Impulse mode (IMPULSE HIGH, WARP LOW), if CNVST is held LOW when the acquisition
phase (t8) is complete, the internal sample/hold is put into hold and a conversion is immediately started.
Must Be Tied to Analog Ground.
Reference Input Voltage and Internal Reference Buffer Output. Apply an external reference on REF if the
internal reference buffer is not used. Should be decoupled effectively with or without the internal buffer.
Reference Input Analog Ground.
Differential Negative Analog Input.
No Connect.
Differential Positive Analog Input.
Reference Buffer Input Voltage. The internal reference buffer has a fixed gain. It outputs 4.096 V typically
when 2.5 V is applied on this pin.
Allows Choice of Buffering Reference. When LOW, buffer is selected. When HIGH, buffer is switched off.
The exposed pad is internally connected to AGND. This connection is not required to meet the electrical
performances however, for increased reliability of the solder joints, it is recommended that the pad be
soldered to the analog ground of the system.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Linearity error 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.
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.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 000…00 to 000…01) should occur for
an analog voltage ½ LSB above the nominal negative full scale
(–4.095991 V for the ±4.096 V range). The last transition (from
111…10 to 111…11) should occur for an analog voltage
1½ LSB below the nominal full scale (4.095977 V for the
±4.096 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.
Zero Error
The zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale
input voltage (0 V) from the actual voltage producing the
midscale output code.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
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 (S/[N+D])
S/(N+D) 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, including harmonics but excluding dc. The
value for S/(N+D) is expressed in decibels.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance and
is measured from the falling edge of the CNVST input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the AD7674 to
achieve its rated accuracy after a full-scale step function is
applied to its input.
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, and is expressed in bits. It is related to S/(N+D) by the
following formula:
ENOB = (S/[N+D]dB – 1.76)/6.02

Figure 25. ADC Simplified Schematic
The AD7674 is a very fast, low power, single-supply, precise
18-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using successive
approximation architecture.
The AD7674’s linearity and dynamic range are similar to or
better than many Σ-Δ ADCs. With the advantages of its
successive architecture, which ease multiplexing and reduce
power with throughput, it can be advantageous in applications
that normally use Σ-Δ ADCs.
The AD7674 features different modes to optimize performance
according to the applications. In Warp mode, the AD7674 is
capable of converting 800,000 samples per second (800 kSPS).
The AD7674 provides the user with an on-chip track/hold,
successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any
pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed
channel applications.
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the REFGND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between
the IN+ and IN– inputs 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 REFGND and REF, the
comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps
(VREF/2, VREF/4, ... VREF/262144). The control logic toggles these
switches, starting with the MSB first, to bring the comparator
back into a balanced condition. After completing this process,
the control logic generates the ADC output code and brings the
BUSY output low.
Modes of Operation
The AD7674 features three modes of operation: Warp, Normal,
and Impulse. Each mode is more suited for specific applications.
The AD7674 can be operated from a single 5 V supply and can
be interfaced to either 5 V or 3 V digital logic. It is housed in a
48-lead LQFP, or a tiny 48-lead LFCSP package that offers space
savings and allows for flexible configurations as either a serial
or parallel interface. The AD7674 is a pin-to-pin compatible
upgrade of the AD7676, AD7678, and AD7679.
CONVERTER OPERATION
Warp mode allows conversion rates up to 800 kSPS. However,
in this mode and this mode only, the full specified accuracy is
guaranteed only when the time between conversions does not
exceed 1 ms. If the time between two consecutive conversions is
longer than 1 ms (e.g., after power-up), the first conversion
result should be ignored. This mode makes the AD7674 ideal
for applications where a fast sample rate is required.
Normal mode is the fastest mode (666 kSPS) without any
limitation on the time between conversions. This mode makes
the AD7674 ideal for asynchronous applications such as data
acquisition systems, where both high accuracy and fast sample
rate are required.
The AD7674 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 25 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 18 binary weighted capacitors that are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW–.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Thus, 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 CNVST input goes low, a
conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase
begins, SW+ and SW– are opened first. The two capacitor
Impulse mode, the lowest power dissipation mode, allows
power saving between conversions. The maximum throughput
in this mode is 570 kSPS. When operating at 1 kSPS, for
example, it typically consumes only 136 μW. This feature makes
the AD7674 ideal for battery-powered applications.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 27 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7674.
Different circuitry shown on this diagram is optional and is
discussed later in this data sheet.
Analog Inputs
Figure 28 shows a simplified analog input section of the
AD7674. The diodes shown in Figure 28 provide ESD
protection for the inputs. Care must be taken to ensure that the
analog input signal never exceeds the absolute ratings on these
inputs. This will cause these diodes to become forward biased
and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a
forward-biased current of 120 mA max. This condition could
eventually occur when the input buffer’s U1 or U2 supplies are
different from AVDD. In such a case, an input buffer with a
short-circuit current limitation can be used to protect the part.
AVDD
and the on resistance of the switches. CS is typically 60 pF and
mainly consists of the ADC sampling capacitor. This 1-pole
filter with a –3 dB cutoff frequency of 26 MHz typ reduces any
undesirable aliasing effect and limits the noise coming from the
inputs.
Because the input impedance of the AD7674 is very high, the
part can be driven directly by a low impedance source without
gain error. This allows the user to put an external 1-pole RC
filter between the amplifier output and the ADC analog inputs,
as shown in Figure 27, to improve the noise filtering done by
the AD7674 analog input circuit. However, the source
impedance has to be kept low because it affects the ac
performance, especially the total harmonic distortion (THD).
The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of
THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of
source impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown
in Figure 30.

Although the AD7674 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier
needs to meet the following requirements:

CMRR (dB)

•
The driver amplifier and the AD7674 analog input circuit
have to be able to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor
array at an 18-bit level (0.0004%). In the amplifier’s data
sheet, settling at 0.1% or 0.01% is more commonly
specified. This could differ significantly from the settling
time at an 18-bit level and, therefore, should be verified
prior to driver selection. The tiny op amp AD8021, which
combines ultralow noise and high gain-bandwidth, meets
this settling time requirement.
•
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible in order to preserve the SNR and
transition noise performance of the AD7674. The noise
coming from the driver is filtered by the AD7674 analog
input circuit 1-pole low-pass filter made by R+, R–, and CS.

resistance R+, R–, and CS. The resistors R+ and R– are typically
102 Ω and are lumped components made up of a serial resistor

where:
f–3dB is the –3 dB input bandwidth in MHz of the AD7674
(26 MHz) or the cutoff frequency of the input filter, if used.
Using the internal reference buffer is recommended when
sharing a common reference voltage between multiple ADCs is
desired.
N is the noise factor of the amplifiers (1 if in buffer
configuration).
However, the advantages of using the external reference voltage
directly are:
•
For instance, for a driver with an equivalent input noise of
2 nV/√Hz (e.g., AD8021) configured as a buffer, thus with
a noise gain of +1, the SNR degrades by only 0.34 dB with
the filter in Figure 27, and by 1.8 dB without it.
The SNR and dynamic range improvement (about 1.7 dB)
resulting from the use of a reference voltage very close to
the supply (5 V) instead of a typical 4.096 V reference
when the internal buffer is used
•
The power saving when the internal reference buffer is
powered down (PDBUF High)
The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to
that of the AD7674.
To use the internal reference buffer, PDBUF should be LOW. A
2.5 V reference voltage applied on the REFBUFIN input will
result in a 4.096 V reference on the REF pin.
eN is the equivalent input noise voltage of each op amp in
nV/√Hz.
•
The AD8021 meets these requirements and is usually
appropriate for almost all applications. The AD8021 needs a
10 pF external compensation capacitor, which should have good
linearity as an NPO ceramic or mica type.
The AD8022 could be used if a dual version is needed and gain
of 1 is present. The AD829 is an alternative in applications
where high frequency (above 100 kHz) performance is not
required. In gain of 1 applications, it requires an 82 pF
compensation capacitor. The AD8610 is another option when
low bias current is needed in low frequency applications.
Single-to-Differential Driver
For applications using unipolar analog signals, a single-endedto-differential driver will allow for a differential input into the
part. The schematic is shown in Figure 31. When provided an
input signal of 0 to VREF, this configuration will produce a
differential ±VREF with midscale at VREF/2.
If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8138
differential driver can be used.

In both cases, the voltage reference input REF has a dynamic
input impedance and therefore requires an efficient decoupling
between REF and REFGND inputs, The decoupling consists of
a low ESR 47 μF tantalum capacitor connected to the REF and
REFGND inputs with minimum parasitic inductance.
Care should also be taken with the reference temperature
coefficient of the voltage reference, which directly affects the
full-scale accuracy if this parameter matters. For instance, a
±4 ppm/°C temperature coefficient of the reference changes the
full scale by ±1 LSB/°C.
Power Supply
The AD7674 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog 5 V
supply (AVDD), a digital 5 V core supply (DVDD), and a digital
output interface supply (OVDD). The OVDD supply defines
the output logic level and allows direct interface with any logic
working between 2.7 V and DVDD + 0.3 V. To reduce the
number of supplies needed, the digital core (DVDD) can be
supplied through a simple RC filter from the analog supply, as
shown in Figure 27. The AD7674 is independent of power
supply sequencing once OVDD does not exceed DVDD by
more than 0.3 V, and is therefore free from supply voltage
induced latch-up. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power
supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in
Figure 32.

POWER DISSIPATION VERSUS THROUGHPUT
In Impulse mode, the AD7674 automatically reduces its power
consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the
acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low, which
allows for a significant power savings when the conversion rate
is reduced, as shown in Figure 33. This feature makes the
AD7674 ideal for very low power battery applications. It should
be noted that the digital interface remains active even during
the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital supply
currents even further, the digital inputs need to be driven close
to the power rails (DVDD and DGND), and OVDD should not
exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.

The AD7674 has a versatile digital interface; it can be interfaced
with the host system by using either a serial or parallel interface.
The serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The
AD7674 digital interface also accommodates both 3 V and 5 V
logic by simply connecting the AD7674’s OVDD supply pin to
the host system interface digital supply. Finally, by using the
OB/2C input pin in any mode but 18-bit interface mode, both
twos complement and straight binary coding can be used.

SAMPLING RATE (SPS)
In Impulse mode, conversions can be initiated automatically. If
CNVST is held low when BUSY goes low, the AD7674 controls
the acquisition phase and automatically initiates a new
conversion. By keeping CNVST low, the AD7674 keeps the
conversion process running by itself. Note that the analog input
has to be settled when BUSY goes low. Also, at power-up,
CNVST should be brought low once to initiate the conversion
process. In this mode, the AD7674 could sometimes run
slightly faster than the guaranteed limits of 570 kSPS in Impulse
mode. This feature does not exist in Warp or Normal modes.

For applications where SNR is critical, the CNVST signal should
have very low jitter. This may be achieved by using a dedicated
oscillator for CNVST generation, or to clock it with a high
frequency low jitter clock, as shown in Figure 27.

CONVERSION CONTROL
Figure 34 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion
process. The AD7674 is controlled by the CNVST signal, which
initiates conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or
aborted, even by PD, until the conversion is complete. The
CNVST signal operates independently of CS and RD signals.
The two signals, CS and RD, control the interface. When at least
one of these signals is high, the interface outputs are in high
impedance. Usually, CS allows the selection of each AD7674 in
multicircuit applications, and is held low in a single AD7674
design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion result on
the data bus.

PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7674 is configured to use the parallel interface with an
18-bit, a 16-bit, or an 8-bit bus width, according to Table 7. The
data can be read either after each conversion, which is during
the next acquisition phase, or during the following conversion,
as shown in Figure 37 and Figure 38, respectively. When the
data is read during the conversion, however, it is recommended
that it is read only during the first half of the conversion phase.
This avoids any potential feedthrough between voltage
transients on the digital interface and the most critical analog
conversion circuitry. Refer to Table 7 for a detailed description
of the different options available.

The AD7674 is configured to use the serial interface when
MODE0 and MODE1 are held high. The AD7674 outputs 18
bits of data, MSB first, on the SDOUT pin. This data is
synchronized with the 18 clock pulses provided on the SCLK
pin. The output data is valid on both the rising and falling edge
of the data clock.
MASTER SERIAL INTERFACE
Internal Clock
The AD7674 is configured to generate and provide the serial
data clock SCLK when the EXT/INT pin is held low. The
AD7674 also generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host
when the serial data is valid. The serial clock SCLK and the
SYNC signal can be inverted if desired. Depending on the
RDC/SDIN input, the data can be read after each conversion or
during the following conversion. Figure 40 and Figure 41 show
the detailed timing diagrams of these two modes.
Usually, because the AD7674 is used with a fast throughput, the
Master Read during Conversion mode is the most
recommended serial mode.

In Read after Conversion mode, it should be noted that unlike
in other modes, the BUSY signal returns low after the 18 data
bits are pulsed out and not at the end of the conversion phase,
which results in a longer BUSY width.
To accommodate slow digital hosts, the serial clock can be
slowed down by using DIVSCLK.

SLAVE SERIAL INTERFACE
External Clock
The AD7674 is configured to accept an externally supplied
serial data clock on the SCLK pin when the EXT/INT pin is
held high. In this mode, several methods can be used to read
the data. The external serial clock is gated by CS. When CS and
RD are both low, the data can be read after each conversion or
during the following conversion. The external clock can be
either a continuous or a discontinuous clock. A discontinuous
clock can be either normally high or normally low when
inactive. Figure 42 and Figure 43 show the detailed timing
diagrams of these methods.
While the AD7674 is performing a bit decision, it is important
that voltage transients not occur on digital input/output pins or
Rev. A | Page 22 of 28
AD7674
Among the advantages of this method, the conversion
performance is not degraded because there are no voltage
transients on the digital interface during the conversion process.
Also, data can be read at speeds up to 40 MHz, accommodating
both slow digital host interface and the fastest serial reading.
degradation of the conversion result could occur. This is
particularly important during the second half of the conversion
phase because the AD7674 provides error correction circuitry
that can correct for an improper bit decision made during the
first half of the conversion phase. For this reason, it is
recommended that when an external clock is being provided, it
is a discontinuous clock that only toggles when BUSY is low or,
more importantly, that it does not transition during the latter
half of BUSY high.
Finally, in this mode only, the AD7674 provides a daisy-chain
feature using the RDC/SDIN input pin to cascade multiple
converters together. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections when desired (for
instance, in isolated multiconverter applications).
External Discontinuous Clock Data Read after
Conversion
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in
Figure 44. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a
common CNVST signal. It should be noted that the RDC/SDIN
input is latched on the edge of SCLK opposite the one used to
shift out data on SDOUT. Thus, the MSB of the upstream
converter follows the LSB of the downstream converter on the
next SCLK cycle.
Though maximum throughput cannot be achieved using this
mode, it is the most recommended of the serial slave modes.
Figure 42 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.
After a conversion is complete, indicated by BUSY returning
low, the result of this conversion can be read while both CS and
RD are low. Data is shifted out MSB first with 18 clock pulses,
and is valid on the rising and falling edge of the clock.

Figure 44. Two AD7674s in a Daisy-Chain Configuration
External Clock Data Read during Conversion
Figure 43 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.
During a conversion, while both CS and RD are low, the result
of the previous conversion can be read. The data is shifted out
MSB first with 18 clock pulses, and is valid on both the rising
and falling edge of the clock. The 18 bits have to be read before
the current conversion is complete. If that is not done,
RDERROR is pulsed high and can be used to interrupt the host
interface to prevent incomplete data reading. There is no daisychain feature in this mode, and the RDC/SDIN input should
always be tied either high or low.
Figure 45 shows an interface diagram between the AD7674 and
the SPI equipped ADSP-219x. To accommodate the slower
speed of the DSP, the AD7674 acts as a slave device, and data
must be read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisychain feature. The convert command could be initiated in
response to an internal timer interrupt. The 18-bit output data
are read with 3-byte SPI access. The reading process could be
initiated in response to the end-of-conversion signal (BUSY
going low) using an interrupt line of the DSP. The serial
interface (SPI) on the ADSP-219x is configured for master
mode (MSTR) = 1, Clock Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 0, Clock Phase
Bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt enable (TIMOD) = 00, by
writing to the SPI Control register (SPICLTx). It should be
noted that to meet all timing requirements, the SPI clock should
be limited to 17 Mbps, which allows it to read an ADC result in
about 1.1 μs. When a higher sampling rate is desired, use of one
of the parallel interface modes is recommended.
DVDD
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast
discontinuous clock is recommended to ensure that all bits are
read during the first half of the conversion phase. It is also
possible to begin to read the data after conversion and continue
to read the last bits even after a new conversion has been
initiated.

The AD7674 is designed to interface either with a parallel 8-bit
or 16-bit wide interface, or with a general-purpose serial port or
I/O ports on a microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can
be used with the AD7674 to prevent digital noise from coupling
into the ADC. The following section illustrates the use of the
AD7674 with an SPI equipped DSP, the ADSP-219x.
AD7674
APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT
The AD7674 has very good immunity to noise on the power
supplies. However, care should still be taken with regard to
grounding layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7674 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. This calls for the use
of ground planes, which can be easily separated. Digital and
analog ground planes should be joined in only one place,
preferably underneath the AD7674, or at least as close to the
AD7674 as possible. If the AD7674 is in a system where
multiple devices require analog-to-digital ground connections,
the connection should still be made at one point only, a star
ground point that should be established as close to the AD7674
as possible.
The user should avoid running digital lines under the device, as
these will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane
should be allowed to run under the AD7674 to avoid noise
coupling. Fast switching signals like CNVST or clocks should be
shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other
sections of the board, and should never run near analog signal
paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals should be
avoided. Traces on different but close layers of the board should
run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the effect of
feedthrough through the board. The power supply lines to the
AD7674 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low
impedance paths and reduce the effect of glitches on the power
supply lines. Good decoupling is also important to lower the
supply’s impedance presented to the AD7674 and to reduce the
magnitude of the supply spikes. Decoupling ceramic capacitors,
typically 100 nF, should be placed close to and ideally right up
against each power supply pin (AVDD, DVDD, and OVDD)
and their corresponding ground pins. Additionally, low ESR
10 μF capacitors should be located near the ADC to further
reduce low frequency ripple.
The DVDD supply of the AD7674 can be a separate supply or
can come from the analog supply, AVDD, or the digital
interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply is
noisy or when fast switching digital signals are present, and if
no separate supply is available, the user should connect the
DVDD digital supply to the analog supply AVDD through an
RC filter, (see Figure 27), and connect the system supply to the
interface digital supply OVDD and the remaining digital
circuitry. When DVDD is powered from the system supply, it is
useful to insert a bead to further reduce high frequency spikes.
The AD7674 has four different ground pins: REFGND, AGND,
DGND, and OGND. REFGND senses the reference voltage and
should be a low impedance return to the reference because it
carries pulsed currents. AGND is the ground to which most
internal ADC analog signals are referenced. This ground must
be connected with the least resistance to the analog ground
plane. DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane
depending on the configuration. OGND is connected to the
digital system ground.
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is
important. The decoupling capacitor should be close to the
ADC and should be connected with short and large traces to
minimize parasitic inductances.
EVALUATING THE AD7674’S PERFORMANCE
An evaluation board for the AD7674 allows a quick means to
measure both DC (histograms and time domain) and AC (time
and frequency domain) performances of the converter. The
EVAL-AD7674CBZ is an evaluation board package that
includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board,
documentation, and software. The accompanying software
requires the use of a capture board which must be ordered
seperately from the evaluation board (see the Ordering Guide
for information). The evaluation board can also be used in a
stand alone configuration and does not use the software when
in this mode. Refer to the EVAL-AD76XXEDZ and EVALAD76XXCBZ documents available from www.analog.com for
evaluation board details.
Two types of data capture boards can be used with the EVALAD7674CBZ:
•
USB based (EVAL-CED1Z recommended)
•
Parallel port based (EVAL-CONTROL BRD3Z not
recommended as many newer PC’s do not include parallel
ports any longer)
The recommended board layout for the AD7674 is outlined in
the evaluation board data sheet.
