GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7676 is a 16-bit, 500 kSPS, charge redistribution SAR,
fully differential analog-to-digital converter that operates from a
single 5 V power supply. The part contains a high-speed 16-bit
sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, error correction
circuits, and both serial and parallel system interface ports.
1. Excellent INL
The AD7676 has a maximum integral nonlinearity of 1.0 LSB
with no missing 16-bit code.
The AD7676 is hardware factory calibrated and is comprehensively
tested to ensure such ac parameters as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
and total harmonic distortion (THD), in addition to the more
traditional dc parameters of gain, offset, and linearity.
3. Fast Throughput
The AD7676 is a 500 kSPS, charge redistribution, 16-bit
SAR ADC with internal error correction circuitry.
It is fabricated using Analog Devices’ high-performance, 0.6
micron CMOS process and is available in a 48-lead LQFP with
operation specified from –40°C to +85°C.
2. Superior AC Performances
The AD7676 has a minimum dynamic of 92 dB, 94 dB typical.
4. Single-Supply Operation
The AD7676 operates from a single 5 V supply and typically
dissipates only 67 mW. It consumes 7 µW maximum when in
power-down.
5. Serial or Parallel Interface
Versatile parallel (8 or 16 bits) or 2-wire serial interface
arrangement compatible with either 3 V or 5 V logic.

Parallel Mode Selection (8/16 Bit). When LOW, the LSB is output on D[7:0] and the MSB
is output on D[15:8]. When HIGH, the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output
on D[7:0].
Straight Binary/Binary Two’s Complement. When OB/2C is HIGH, the digital output is
straight binary; when LOW, the MSB is inverted resulting in a two’s complement output
from its internal shift register.
Serial/Parallel Selection Input. When LOW, the parallel port is selected; when HIGH, the
serial interface mode is selected and some bits of the DATA bus are used as a serial port.
Bit 0 and Bit 1 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, these outputs
are in high impedance.
When SER/PAR is LOW, these outputs are used as Bit 2 and Bit 3 of the Parallel Port Data
Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, EXT/INT is LOW and RDC/SDIN is LOW, which is the
serial master read-after-convert mode. These inputs, part of the serial port, are used to slow
down, if desired, the internal serial clock which clocks the data output. In the other serial
modes, these inputs are not used.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 4 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the serial port, is used as a digital select input
for choosing the internal or an external data clock. With EXT/INT tied LOW, the internal
clock is selected on SCLK output. With EXT/INT set to a logic HIGH, output data is
synchronized to an external clock signal connected to the SCLK input.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 5 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, 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.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 6 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the serial port, is used to invert the SCLK
signal. It is active in both master and slave mode.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 7 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, 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 DATA with a delay of 16 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 isoutput on SDOUT only when the conversion is complete.

When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 8 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, 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 AD7676
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: If
INVSCLK is LOW, SDOUT is updated on SCLK rising edge and valid on the next falling
edge. If INVSCLK is HIGH, SDOUT is updated on SCLK falling edge and valid on the next
rising edge.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 9 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, 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.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 10 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, 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 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.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 11 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH and 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 12 to Bit 15 of the Parallel Port Data output bus. These pins are always outputs regardless of the state of SER/PAR.
Busy Output. Transitions HIGH when a conversion is started, and 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 serial clock.
Reset Input. When set to a logic HIGH, reset the AD7676. Current conversion if any is aborted.
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. If CNVST is HIGH when the acquisition phase (t8) is complete, the next
falling edge on CNVST puts the internal sample/hold into the hold state and initiates a
conversion. This mode is the most appropriate if low sampling jitter is desired. If CNVST is
LOW when the acquisition phase (t8) is complete, the internal sample/hold is put into the hold
state and a conversion is immediately started.
Must be tied to analog ground.

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB)
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY ERROR (INL)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to S/(N+D) by the following formula:
Integral Nonlinearity is the maximum deviation of a straight line
drawn through the transfer function of the actual ADC. The
deviation is measured from the middle of each code.
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.
+FULL-SCALE ERROR
The last transition (from 011 . . . 10 to 011 . . . 11 in two’s
complement coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB
below the nominal +full scale (+2.499886 V for the ± 2.5 V range).
The +full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the
last transition from the ideal level.
–FULL-SCALE ERROR
The first transition (from 100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01 in two’s
complement coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB
above the nominal –full scale (–2.499962 V for the ± 2.5 V range).
The –full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the
last transition from the ideal level.
BIPOLAR ZERO ERROR
The bipolar zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale
input voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale
output code.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
REV. 0
( [
ENOB = S / N + D
]
) / 6.02
dB – 1.76
and is expressed in bits.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is

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.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7676 is a fast, low-power, single-supply, precise 16-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AD7676 is capable of
converting 500,000 samples per second (500 kSPS) and allows
power saving between conversions. When operating at 100 SPS,
for example, it consumes typically only 15 µW. This feature
makes the AD7676 ideal for battery-powered applications.
The AD7676 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.
The AD7676 can be operated from a single 5 V supply and be
interfaced to either 5 V or 3 V digital logic. It is housed in a
48-lead LQFP package that combines space savings and allows
flexible configurations as either serial or parallel interface. The
AD7676 is pin-to-pin compatible with the AD7675.
connected to the REFGND input. Therefore, the differential
voltage between the output of IN+ and IN– captured at the
end of the acquisition phase is applied to the comparator inputs,
causing the comparator to become unbalanced.
By switching each element of the capacitor array between
REFGND or REF, the comparator input varies by binary
weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 . . . VREF/65536). The
control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB first,
in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition.
After the completion of this process, the control logic generates
the ADC output code and brings BUSY output low.
Transfer Functions
Using the OB/2C digital input, the AD7676 offers two output
codings: straight binary and two’s complement. The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7676 is shown in Figure 4.
The AD7676 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 3 shows
the simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input is 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 both analog signals.

of 120 mA maximum. This condition could eventually occur
when the input buffer’s (U1) or (U2) supplies are different
from AVDD. In such case, an input buffer with a short-circuit
current limitation can be used to protect the part.

AD7676
During the acquisition phase, for ac signals, the AD7676 behaves
like a one pole RC filter consisting of the equivalent resistance R+ , R–, and CS. The resistors R+ and R– are typically
684 V and are lumped components made up of some serial
resistors and the on-resistance of the switches. The capacitor
CS is typically 60 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
This one pole filter with a typical –3 dB cutoff frequency of
3.88 MHz reduces undesirable aliasing effect and limits the
noise coming from the inputs.
eN is the equivalent input noise voltage of the op amp in
nV/(Hz)1/2.
FSR is 2 × VREF.
For instance, a driver with an equivalent input noise of
2 nV/√Hz like the AD8021 and configured as a buffer, thus with
a noise gain of +1, the SNR degrades by only 0.07 dB.
• The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to
that of the AD7676.
For applications using unipolar analog signals, a single-ended to
differential driver will allow for a differential input into the part.
The schematic is shown in Figure 8.

f –3 dB is the –3 dB input bandwidth of the AD7676 (3.88 MHz)
or the cutoff frequency of the input filter if any is used.
Because the input impedance of the AD7676 is very high, the
AD7676 can be driven directly by a low impedance source
without gain error. That allows users to put, as shown in
Figure 5, an external one-pole RC filter between the output
of the amplifier output and the ADC analog inputs to even
further improve the noise filtering done by the AD7676 analog
input circuit. However, the source impedance has to be kept
low because it affects the ac performances, especially the total
harmonic distortion. The maximum source impedance depends
on the amount of total harmonic distortion (THD) that can be
tolerated. The THD degrades proportionally to the source
impedance.

Voltage Reference Input
Figure 8. Single-Ended to Differential Driver Circuit
The AD7676 uses an external 2.5 V voltage reference.
This configuration, when provided an input signal of 0 to VREF,
will produce a differential ± 2.5 V with a common mode at 1.25 V.
If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8138 can be used.
Driver Amplifier Choice
Although the AD7676 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs
to meet at least the following requirements:
• The driver amplifier and the AD7676 analog input circuit
have to be able together to settle for a full-scale step of the
capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%). In the amplifier’s
data sheet, the settling at 0.1% or 0.01% is more commonly
specified. It could significantly differ from the settling time at
16-bit level and, therefore, it should be verified prior to the
driver selection. The tiny op amp AD8021 which combines
ultra low noise and a high gain bandwidth meets this settling
time requirement even when used with a high gain up to 13.
• 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 AD7676. The noise coming from the
The voltage reference input REF of the AD7676 has a dynamic
input impedance. Therefore, it should be driven by a lowimpedance source with an efficient decoupling between REF
and REFGND inputs. This decoupling depends on the choice
of the voltage reference but usually consists of a low ESR
tantalum capacitor connected to the REF and REFGND
inputs with minimum parasitic inductance. 47 µF is an appropriate value for the tantalum capacitor when used with one of
the recommended reference voltages:
• The low-noise, low temperature drift ADR421 and AD780
voltage references
• The low-power ADR291 voltage reference
• The low-cost AD1582 voltage reference
For applications using multiple AD7676s, it is more effective to
buffer the reference voltage with a low-noise, very stable op amp
like the AD8031.

AD7676
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 ± 15 ppm/°C
tempco of the reference changes the full scale by ± 1 LSB/°C.

VREF , as mentioned in the specification table, could be increased
to AVDD – 1.85 V. The benefit here is the increased SNR
obtained as a result of this increase. Since the input range is
defined in terms of VREF, this would essentially increase the
range to make it a ± 3 V input range with an AVDD above
4.85 V. The theoretical improvement as a result of this increase
in reference is 1.58 dB (20 log [3/2.5]). Due to the theoretical
quantization noise, however, the observed improvement is
approximately 1 dB. The AD780 can be selected with a 3 V
reference voltage.

Power Supply
The AD7676 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog
5 V supply AVDD, a digital 5 V core supply DVDD, and a
digital input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD supply
allows direct interface with any logic working between 2.7 V and
5.25 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 5. The AD7676 is independent of power supply sequencing and thus free from supply
voltage induced latchup. Additionally, it is very insensitive to
power supply variations over a wide frequency range as shown
in Figure 9.
Figure 10. Power Dissipation vs. Sample Rate
CONVERSION CONTROL
Figure 11 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion
process. The AD7676 is controlled by the signal CNVST which
initiates conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or
aborted, even by the power-down input PD, until the conversion is complete. The CNVST signal operates independently of
CS and RD signals.

POWER DISSIPATION
The AD7676 automatically reduces its power consumption at
the end of each conversion phase. During the acquisition phase,
the operating currents are very low which allows a significant
power saving when the conversion rate is reduced as shown in
Figure 10. This feature makes the AD7676 ideal for very lowpower 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 (i.e., DVDD and DGND) and OVDD
should not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.

CNVST must be held high from the previous falling edge of
BUSY, and during a minimum delay corresponding to the
acquisition time t8; then, when CNVST is brought low, a
conversion is initiated and BUSY signal goes high until the
completion of the conversion. Although CNVST is a digital
signal, it should be designed with this special care with fast,
clean edges and levels, with minimum overshoot and undershoot or ringing.
For applications where the SNR is critical, the CNVST signal
should have a very low jitter. Some solutions to achieve that are
to use a dedicated oscillator for CNVST generation or, at least,
to clock it with a high frequency low jitter clock as shown in
Figure 5.

PARALLEL INTERFACE
t9
The AD7676 is configured to use the parallel interface (Figure 13)
when the SER/PAR is held low. The data can be read either
after each conversion, which is during the next acquisition
phase, or during the following conversion as shown, respectively,
in Figure 14 and Figure 15. When the data is read during the
conversion, however, it is recommended that it be read-only
during the first half of the conversion phase. That avoids any
potential feedthrough between voltage transients on the digital
interface and the most critical analog conversion circuitry.

For other applications, conversions can be automatically initiated. If CNVST is held low when BUSY is low, the AD7676
controls the acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a
new conversion. By keeping CNVST low, the AD7676 keeps
the conversion process running by itself. It should be noted 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 AD7676 could sometimes
run slightly faster than the guaranteed limit of 500 kSPS.

The serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The
AD7676 digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V
logic by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the AD7676
to the host system interface digital supply. Finally, by using the

rising and falling edge of the data clock. Depending on RDC/
SDIN input, the data can be read after each conversion, or
during the following conversion. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show
the detailed timing diagrams of these two modes.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD7676 is configured to use the serial interface when the

MSB first, on the SDOUT pin. This data is synchronized with
the 16 clock pulses provided on the SCLK pin.

Usually, because the AD7676 has a longer acquisition phase
than the conversion phase, the data is read immediately after

the most recommended serial mode when it can be used.

data clock SCLK when the EXT/INT pin is held low. The AD7676

AD7676
In read-after-conversion mode, it should be noted that, unlike in
other modes, the signal BUSY returns low after the 16 data bits
are pulsed out and not at the end of the conversion phase which
results in a longer BUSY width.
In read-during-conversion mode, the serial clock and data toggle
at appropriate instances, which minimizes potential feedthrough
between digital activity and the critical conversion decisions.
SLAVE SERIAL INTERFACE
External Clock
The AD7676 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 and the data are
output when both CS and RD are low. Thus, depending on
CS, the data can be read after each conversion or during the
following conversion. The external clock can be either a continuous or discontinuous clock. A discontinuous clock can be
either normally high or normally low when inactive. Figure 19
and Figure 20 show the detailed timing diagrams of these methods. Usually, because the AD7676 has a longer acquisition
phase than the conversion phase, the data are read immediately
after conversion.
While the AD7676 is performing a bit decision, it is important
that voltage transients not occur on digital input/output pins or
degradation of the conversion result could occur. This is particularly important during the second half of the conversion phase
because the AD7676 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 is toggling only when BUSY is low or, more importantly,
that it does not transition during the latter half of BUSY high.
External Discontinuous Clock Data Read after Conversion
This mode is the most recommended of the serial slave modes.
Figure 19 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. The data is shifted out, MSB first, with 16 clock
pulses and is valid on both rising and falling edge of the clock.
Among the advantages of this method, the conversion performance is not degraded because there is no voltage transients on
the digital interface during the conversion process.
Another advantage is to be able to read the data at any speed up
to 40 MHz, which accommodates both slow digital host interface and the fastest serial reading.
Finally, in this mode only, the AD7676 provides a “daisy chain”
feature using the RDC/SDIN input pin for cascading multiple
converters together. This feature is useful for reducing component count and wiring connections when it is desired as it is, for
instance, in isolated multiconverters applications.
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in
Figure 21. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a common CNVST signal. It should be noted that the RDC/SDIN
input is latched on the opposite edge of SCLK of the one used
to shift out the data on SDOUT. Hence, the MSB of the
“upstream” converter just follows the LSB of the “downstream”
converter on the next SCLK cycle.

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 AD7676 to prevent digital noise from coupling
into the ADC. The following sections illustrate the use of the
AD7676 with an SPI equipped microcontroller, the ADSP21065L and ADSP-218x signal processors.
External Clock Data Read During Conversion
Figure 20 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 16 clock pulses, and is valid on both rising and
falling edges of the clock. The 16 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 “daisy chain”
feature in this mode, and RDC/SDIN input should always be
tied either high or low.
SPI Interface (MC68HC11)
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast
discontinuous clock of 18 MHz at least is recommended to ensure
that all the bits are read during the first half of the conversion
phase. For this reason, this mode is more difficult to use.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7676 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor, and ac signal processing applications interfacing to a digital signal processor. The
AD7676 is designed to interface either with a parallel 8-bit or
Figure 22 shows an interface diagram between the AD7676 and
an SPI-equipped microcontroller like the MC68HC11. To
accommodate the slower speed of the microcontroller, the
AD7676 acts as a slave device and data must be read after conversion. This mode also allows the “daisy chain” feature. The
convert command could be initiated in response to an internal
timer interrupt. The reading of output data, one byte at a time,
if necessary, could be initiated in response to the end-of-conversion signal (BUSY going low) using an interrupt line of the
microcontroller. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) on the
MC68HC11 is configured for master mode (MSTR) = 1, Clock
Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 0, Clock Phase Bit (CPHA) = 1 and SPI
interrupt enable (SPIE) = 1 by writing to the SPI Control Register (SPCR). The IRQ is configured for edge-sensitive-only
operation (IRQE = 1 in OPTION register).

ground planes should be joined in only one place, preferably
underneath the AD7676, or, at least, as close as possible to the
AD7676. If the AD7676 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,
which should be established as close as possible to the AD7676.

Figure 22. Interfacing the AD7676 to SPI Interface
ADSP-21065L in Master Serial Interface
As shown in Figure 23, the AD7676 can be interfaced to the
ADSP-21065L using the serial interface in master mode without any
glue logic required. This mode combines the advantages of reducing
the wire connections and the ability to read the data during or after
conversion maximum speed transfer (DIVSCLK[0:1] both low).
The AD7676 is configured for the internal clock mode (EXT/
INT low) and acts, therefore, as the master device. The convert
command can be generated by either an external low jitter oscillator or, as shown, by a FLAG output of the ADSP-21065L or
by a frame output TFS of one serial port of the ADSP-21065L
which can be used like a timer. The serial port on the
ADSP-21065L is configured for external clock (IRFS = 0),
rising edge active (CKRE = 1), external late framed sync signals
(IRFS = 0, LAFS = 1, RFSR = 1) and active high (LRFS = 0).
The serial port of the ADSP-21065L is configured by writing to
its receive control register (SRCTL)—see ADSP-2106x SHARC
User’s Manual. Because the serial port within the ADSP-21065L
will be seeing a discontinuous clock, an initial word reading has
to be done after the ADSP-21065L has been reset to ensure that
the serial port is properly synchronized to this clock during each
following data read operation.

The power supply lines to the AD7676 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 supplies impedance presented to
the AD7676 and reduce the magnitude of the supply spikes.
Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should be
placed on each power supplies pins AVDD, DVDD, and OVDD
close to, and ideally right up against these pins and their corresponding ground pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 µF capacitors
should be located in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce
low-frequency ripple.
The DVDD supply of the AD7676 can be either a separate
supply or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the
digital interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply
is noisy, or fast switching digital signals are present, it is recommended if no separate supply available, to connect the DVDD
digital supply to the analog supply AVDD through an RC filter
as shown in Figure 5, 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 AD7676 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.

It is recommended to 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 AD7676 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 layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is important. The decoupling capacitor should be close to the ADC and
connected with short and large traces to minimize parasitic
inductances.

Layout
Evaluating the AD7676 Performance
The AD7676 has very good immunity to noise on the power
supplies as can be seen in Figure 21. However, care should still
be taken with regard to grounding layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7676 should be
designed so 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. Digital and analog
A recommended layout for the AD7676 is outlined in the evaluation board for the AD7676. The evaluation board package
includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for controlling the board from a PC
via the Eval-Control BRD2.
