GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7684 is a 16-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, PulSAR™ analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
that operates from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.7 V
to 5.5 V. It contains a low power, high speed, 16-bit sampling
ADC with no missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a
serial, SPI-compatible interface port. The part also contains a
low noise, wide bandwidth, short aperture delay, track-and-hold
circuit. On the CS falling edge, it samples the voltage difference
between +IN and –IN pins. The reference voltage, REF, is
applied externally and can be set up to the supply voltage. Its
power scales linearly with throughput.
The AD7684 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package, with an
operating temperature specified from −40°C to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
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
(see Figure 21).
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to S/(N+D) by the following formula
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
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 dB.
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in
terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.
Zero Error
Zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale voltage,
i.e., 0 V, and the actual voltage producing the midscale output
code, i.e., 0 LSB.
The first transition (from 100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01) should occur
at a level ½ LSB above the nominal negative full scale
(−4.999924 V for the ±5 V range). The last transition (from
011…10 to 011…11) should occur for an analog voltage
1½ LSB below the nominal full scale (4.999771 V for the ±5 V
range.) The gain error is the deviation of the difference between
the actual level of the last transition and the actual level of the
first transition from the difference between the idea levels.
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
and is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
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 dB.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (S/[N+D])
Gain Error
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
ENOB = (S /[N + D]dB − 1.76) / 6.02
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 dB.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance and
is the time between the falling edge of the CS input and when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to
accurately acquire its input after a full-scale step function
was applied.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7684 is a low power, single-supply, 16-bit ADC using a
successive approximation architecture. It is capable of converting 100,000 samples per second (100 kSPS) and powers down
between conversions. When operating at 10 kSPS, for example,
it consumes typically 150 µW with a 2.7 V supply, ideal for
battery-powered applications.
into a balanced condition. After the completion of this process,
the part returns to the acquisition phase and the control logic
generates the ADC output code.
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
The ideal transfer function for the AD7684 is shown in
Figure 21 and Table 8.
ADC CODE (TWOS COMPLEMENT)
The AD7684 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multiple, multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7684 is specified from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It is housed in a
8-lead MSOP package.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7684 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 20 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 16 binary-weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.

–FS
–FS + 1 LSB

–FS + 0.5 LSB
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to GND 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 CS input goes low, a
conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase
begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs, +IN and −IN, captured at the end of the acquisition
phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the
comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element
of the capacitor array between GND and REF, the comparator
input varies by binary-weighted voltage steps (VREF/2,
VREF/4...VREF/65536). The control logic toggles these switches,
starting with the MSB, in order to bring the comparator back

Figure 22 shows an example of the recommended application
diagram for the AD7684.
ANALOG INPUT
Figure 23 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7684. The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog inputs, +IN and −IN. Care must be taken to
ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the supply
rails by more than 0.3 V, because this will cause these diodes to
become forward-biased and start conducting current. However,
these diodes can handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA
maximum. For instance, these conditions could eventually
occur when the input buffer’s (U1) supplies are different from
VDD. In such a case, an input buffer with a short-circuit current
limitation can be used to protect the part.
switches. CIN is typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling
capacitor. During the conversion phase, when the switches are
opened, the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN
make a 1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing
effects and limits the noise.
When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7684 can be driven directly. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance, especially THD. The dc
performances are less sensitive to the input impedance.
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
Although the AD7684 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier
needs to meet the following requirements:
•
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 AD7684. Note that the
AD7684 has a noise much lower than most other 16-bit
ADCs and, therefore, can be driven by a noisier op amp
while preserving the same or better system performance.
The noise coming from the driver is filtered by the AD7684
analog input circuit 1-pole, low-pass filter made by RIN and
CIN or by the external filter, if one is used.
•
For ac applications, the driver needs to have a THD
performance suitable to that of the AD7684. Figure 15
shows the THD vs. frequency that the driver should
exceed.
•
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7684 analog input circuit must be able
to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array at a
16-bit level (0.0015%). In the amplifier’s data sheet, settling
at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This could
differ significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level
and should be verified prior to driver selection.

This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential signal between +IN and −IN. By using this differential
input, small signals common to both inputs are rejected. For
instance, by using −IN to sense a remote signal ground, ground
potential differences between the sensor and the local ADC
ground are eliminated. During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog input +IN can be modeled as a parallel
combination of the capacitor CPIN and the network formed by
the series connection of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin
capacitance. RIN is typically 600 Ω and is a lumped component
made up of some serial resistors and the on-resistance of the

A falling edge on CS initiates a conversion and the data transfer.
After the fifth DCLOCK falling edge, DOUT is enabled and
forced low. The data bits are then clocked MSB first by subsequent DCLOCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data,
a digital host also using the SCK falling edge allows a faster
reading rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time.

The AD7684 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input
impedance. It should therefore be driven by a low impedance
source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND
pins, as explained in the Layout section.
When REF is driven by a very low impedance source (e.g., an
unbuffered reference voltage like the low temperature drift
ADR43x reference or a reference buffer using the AD8031 or
the AD8605), a 10 µF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is
appropriate for optimum performance.
If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values down
to 2.2 µF can be used with a minimal impact on performance,
especially DNL.
POWER SUPPLY
The AD7684 powers down automatically at the end of each
conversion phase and therefore the power scales linearly with
the sampling rate, as shown in Figure 24. This makes the part
ideal for low sampling rates (even of a few Hz) and low batterypowered applications.

LAYOUT
The printed circuit board housing the AD7684 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. The pinout of the
AD7684 with all its analog signals on the left side and all its
digital signals on the right side eases this task.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the
AD7684 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CS or
clocks, should never run near analog signal paths. Crossover of
digital and analog signals should be avoided.
At least one ground plane should be used. It could be common
or split between the digital and analog section. In such a case, it
should be joined underneath the AD7684.

The AD7684 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input
impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic
inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling
ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF
and GND pins and by connecting these pins with wide, low
impedance traces.

Finally, the power supply, VDD, of the AD7684 should be
decoupled with a ceramic capacitor, typically 100 nF, and placed
close to the AD7684. It should be connected using short and
large traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce the
effect of glitches on the power supply lines.

timing is given in Figure 2.
Other recommended layouts for the AD7684 are outlined in the
