GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7723 is a complete 16-bit, sigma-delta ADC. The part
operates from a 5 V supply. The analog input is continuously
sampled, eliminating the need for an external sample-and-hold.
The modulator output is processed by a finite impulse response
(FIR) digital filter. The on-chip filtering combined with a high
oversampling ratio reduces the external antialias requirements
to first order in most cases. The digital filter frequency response
can be programmed to be either low-pass or band-pass.
The AD7723 provides 16-bit performance for input bandwidths
up to 460 kHz at an output word rate up to 1.2 MHz. The
sample rate, filter corner frequencies, and output word rate are
set by the crystal oscillator or external clock frequency.
Data can be read from the device in either serial or parallel
format. A stereo mode allows data from two devices to share a
single serial data line. All interface modes offer easy, high speed
connections to modern digital signal processors.

The part provides an on-chip 2.5 V reference. Alternatively, an
external reference can be used.
A power-down mode reduces the idle power consumption
to 200 µW.
The AD7723 is available in a 44-lead MQFP package and is
specified over the industrial temperature range from
–40°C to +85°C.
Two input modes are provided, allowing both unipolar and
bipolar input ranges.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate
on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Description
Ground Reference for Digital Circuitry.
Mode Control Inputs. The MODE1 and MODE2 pins choose either parallel or serial data interface operation
and select the operating mode for the digital filter in parallel mode. See Table 3 and Table 4.
Digital Logic Power Supply Ground for the Analog Modulator.
Digital Logic Power Supply Voltage for the Analog Modulator.
Clock Input. An external clock source can be applied directly to this pin with XTAL_OFF tied high.
Alternatively, a parallel resonant fundamental frequency crystal, in parallel with a 1 MΩ resistor, can
be connected betweenthe XTAL pin and the CLKIN pin with XTAL_OFF tied low. External capacitors
are then required from the CLKIN and XTAL pins to ground. Consult the crystal manufacturer’s
recommendation for the load capacitors.
Input to Crystal Oscillator Amplifier. If an external clock is used, XTAL should be tied to AGND1.
Oscillator Enable Input. A logic high disables the crystal oscillator amplifier to allow use of an external
clock source. Set low when using an external crystal between the CLKIN and XTAL pins.
When set high, the power dissipation is reduced by approximately one-half, and a maximum CLKIN
frequency of 10 MHz applies.
Power Supply Ground for the Analog Modulator.
Positive Power Supply Voltage for the Analog Modulator.
Negative Terminal of the Differential Analog Input.
Positive Terminal of the Differential Analog Input.
Reference Output. REF1 connects through 3 kΩ to the output of the internal 2.5 V reference and to a buffer
amplifier that drives the Σ-∆ modulator.
Power Supply Ground Return to the Reference Circuitry, REF2, of the Analog Modulator.
Reference Input. REF2 connects to the output of an internal buffer amplifier that drives the Σ-∆ modulator.
When REF2 is used as an input, REF1 must be connected to AGND to disable the internal buffer amplifier.
Analog Input Range Select Input. The UNI pin selects the analog input range for either bipolar or unipolar
operation. A logic high input selects unipolar operation and a logic low selects bipolar operation.
Standby Logic Input. A logic high sets the AD7723 into the power-down state.

Description
Synchronization Logic Input. When using more than one AD7723 operated from a common master clock,
SYNC allows each ADC to simultaneously sample its analog input and update its output register. A rising
edge resets the AD7723 digital filter sequencer counter to 0. When the rising edge of CLKIN senses a logic
low on SYNC, the reset state is released. Because the digital filter and sequencer are completely reset
during this action, SYNC pulses cannot be applied continuously.

when the rising edge of CLKIN senses a logic low level on RD if CS is also low. When RD is sensed high, the output
data bits, DB15 to DB0, are high impedance.
Data Ready Logic Output. A falling edge indicates a new output word is available to be read from the output data
register. DRDY returns high upon completion of a read operation. If a read operation does not occur between output
updates, DRDY pulses high for two CLKIN cycles before the next output update. DRDY also indicates when
conversion results are available after a SYNC sequence.

Serial Clock Format Logic Input. The clock format pin selects whether the serial data, SDO, is valid on the rising or
falling edge of the serial clock, SCO. When CFMT is logic low, serial data is valid on the falling edge of the serial clock,
SCO. If CFMT is logic high, SDO is valid on the rising edge of SCO.

Serial Clock Rate Select Input. With SCR set logic low, the serial clock output frequency, SCO, is equal to the CLKIN
frequency. A logic high sets it equal to one-half the CLKIN frequency.
Serial Mode Low/High Output Data Rate Select Input. With SLDR set logic high, the low data rate is selected. A logic
low selects the high data rate. The high data rate corresponds to data at the output of the fourth decimation filter
(decimate by 16). The low data rate corresponds to data at the output of the fifth decimation filter (decimate by 32).
Serial Mode Low-Pass/Band-Pass Filter Select Input. With SLP set logic high, the low-pass filter response is selected.
A logic low selects band-pass.
Time Slot Logic Input. The logic level on TSI sets the active state of the DOE pin. With TSI set logic high, DOE enables
the SDO output buffer when it is a logic high and vice versa. TSI is used when two AD7723s are connected to the
same serial data bus. When this function is not needed, TSI and DOE should be tied low.
Frame Sync Output. FSO indicates the beginning of a word transmission on the SDO pin. Depending on the logic
level of the SFMT pin, the FSO signal is either a positive pulse approximately one SCO period wide or a frame pulse
that is active low for the duration of the 16-data bit transmission.
Serial Data Output. The serial data is shifted out MSB first, synchronous with the SCO. Serial Mode 1 data
transmissions last 32 SCO cycles. After the LSB is output, trailing zeros are output for the remaining 16 SCO cycles.
Serial Modes 2 and 3 data transmissions last 16 SCO cycles.
Serial Clock Output.
Frame Synchronization Logic Input. The FSI input is used to synchronize the AD7723 serial output data register to an
external source and to allow more than one AD7723, operated from a common master clock, to simultaneously
sample its analog input and update its output register.
Serial Data Format Logic Input. The logic level on the SFMT pin selects the format of the FSO signal for Serial Mode 1.
A logic low makes the FSO output a pulse one SCO cycle wide at the beginning of a serial data transmission. With
SFMT set to a logic high, the FSO signal is a frame pulse that is active low for the duration of the 16-bit transmission.
For Serial Modes 2 and 3, SFMT should be tied high.
Data Output Enable Logic Input. The DOE pin controls the three-state output buffer of the SDO pin. The active state
of DOE is determined by the logic level on the TSI pin. When the DOE logic level equals the level on the TSI pin, the
serial data output, SDO, is active. Otherwise, SDO is high impedance. SDO can be three-state after a serial data
transmission by connecting DOE to FSO. In normal operations, TSI and DOE should be tied low.

TERMINOLOGY
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the measured signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the
ADC. The signal is the rms magnitude of the fundamental.
Noise is the rms sum of all of the nonfundamental signals up to
half the output data rate (FO/2), excluding dc. The ADC is
evaluated by applying a low noise, low distortion sine wave
signal to the input pins. By generating a fast fourier transform
(FFT) plot, the SNR data can then be obtained from the output
spectrum.
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are minus full scale, a point
0.5 LSB below the first code transition (100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01
in bipolar mode, 000 . . . 00 to 000 . . . 01 in unipolar mode),
and plus full scale, a point 0.5 LSB above the last code transition
(011 . . . 10 to 011 . . . 11 in bipolar mode, 111 . . . 10 to 111 . . .
11 in unipolar mode). The error is expressed in LSBs.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the harmonics to the rms
value of the fundamental. THD is defined as
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between two adjacent codes in the ADC.
THD = 20log
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
V1
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3,
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through
sixth harmonics. The THD is also derived from the FFT plot of
the ADC output spectrum.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
Defined as the difference, in dB, between the peak spurious or
harmonic component in the ADC output spectrum (up to FO/2
and excluding dc) and the rms value of the fundamental.
Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the
largest harmonic in the output spectrum of the FFT. For input
signals whose second harmonics occur in the stop-band region
of the digital filter, the spur in the noise floor limits the SFDR.
Pass-Band Ripple
The frequency response variation of the AD7723 in the defined
pass-band frequency range.
Pass-Band Frequency
The frequency up to which the frequency response variation is
within the pass-band ripple specification.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio
The ability of a device to reject the effect of a voltage applied to
both input terminals simultaneously—often through variation
of a ground level—is specified as a common–mode rejection
ratio. CMRR is the ratio of gain for the differential signal to the
gain for the common-mode signal.
Unipolar Offset Error
Unipolar offset error is the deviation of the first code transition
(10 . . . 000 to 10 . . . 001) from the ideal differential voltage
(VIN(+) – VIN(–)+ 0.5 LSB) when operating in the unipolar
mode.
Bipolar Offset Error
This is the deviation of the midscale transition code (111 . . . 11
to 000 . . . 00) from the ideal differential voltage (VIN(+) –
VIN(–) – 0.5 LSB) when operating in the bipolar mode.
Gain Error
The first code transition should occur at an analog value ½ LSB
above –full scale. The last transition should occur for an analog
value 1 ½ LSB below the nominal full scale. Gain error is the
deviation of the actual difference between first and last code
transitions and the ideal difference between first and last code
transitions.
Cutoff Frequency
The frequency below which the AD7723’s frequency response
will not have more than 3 dB of attenuation.
Stop-Band Frequency
The frequency above which the AD7723’s frequency response
will be within its stop-band attenuation.
Stop-Band Attenuation
The AD7723’s frequency response will not have less than 90 dB
of attenuation in the stated frequency band.

AD7723
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7723 ADC employs a Σ-Δ conversion technique to
convert the analog input into an equivalent digital word. The
modulator samples the input waveform and outputs an
equivalent digital word at the input clock frequency, fCLKIN.
Due to the high oversampling rate that spreads the quantization
noise from 0 to fCLKIN/2, the noise energy contained in the band
of interest is reduced (Figure 27A). To further reduce the
quantization noise, a high-order modulator is employed to
shape the noise spectrum so that most of the noise energy is
shifted out of the band of interest (Figure 27B).
The digital filter that follows the modulator removes the large
out-of-band quantization noise (Figure 27C) while also
reducing the data rate from fCLKIN at the input of the filter to
fCLKIN/32 or fCLKIN/16 at the output of the filter, depending on the
state on the MODE1/MODE2 pins in parallel interface mode or
the SLDR pin in serial interface mode. The AD7723 output data
rate is a little over twice the signal bandwidth, which guarantees
that there is no loss of data in the signal band.
Digital filtering has certain advantages over analog filtering.
First, since digital filtering occurs after the A/D conversion, it
can remove noise injected during the conversion process.
Analog filtering cannot remove noise injected during
conversion. Second, the digital filter combines low pass-band
ripple with a steep roll-off while also maintaining a linear phase
response.
the converter is 16. Data fed to the interface from the output of
the fifth filter results in an output data rate of fCLKIN/32 and a
corresponding OSR for the converter of 32. When an output
data rate (ODR) of fCLKIN/32 is selected, the digital filter
response can be set to either low-pass or band-pass. The bandpass response is useful when the input signal is band limited
because the resulting output data rate is half that required to
convert the band when the low-pass operating mode is used. To
illustrate the operation of this mode, consider a band-limited
signal, as shown in Figure 28A. This signal band can be
correctly converted by selecting the (low-pass) ODR = fCLKIN/16
mode, as shown in Figure 28B. Note that the output data rate is a
little over twice the maximum frequency in the frequency band.
Alternatively, the band-pass mode can be selected, as shown in
Figure 28C. The band-pass filter removes unwanted signals
from dc to just below fCLKIN/64. Rather than outputting data at
fCLKIN/16, the output of the band-pass filter is sampled at
fCLKIN/32. This effectively translates the wanted band to a
maximum frequency of a little less than fCLKIN/64, as shown in
Figure 28D. Halving the output data rate reduces the workload
of any following signal processor and also allows a lower serial
clock rate to be used.

Figure 29. Low-Pass Filter Decimate by 16
Figure 32 shows the frequency response of the digital filter in
both low-pass and band-pass modes. Due to the sampling
nature of the converter, the pass-band response is repeated
about the input sampling frequency, fCLKIN, and at integer
multiples of fCLKIN. Out-of-band noise or signals coincident with
any of the filter images are aliased down to the pass band.
However, due to the AD7723’s high oversampling ratio, these
bands occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum, and most
broadband noise is attenuated by at least 90 dB. In addition, as
shown in Figure 33, with even a low-order filter, there is
significant attenuation at the first image frequency. This
contrasts with a normal Nyquist rate converter where a very
high-order antialias filter is required to allow most of the
bandwidth to be used while ensuring sufficient attenuation at
multiples of fCLKIN.

APPLYING THE AD7723
ANALOG INPUT RANGE
ANALOG INPUT
The AD7723 has differential inputs to provide common-mode
noise rejection. In unipolar mode, the analog input range is 0 to
8/5 × VREF2, while in bipolar mode, the analog input range is
±4/5 × VREF2. The output code is twos complement binary in
both modes with 1 LSB = 61 µV. The ideal input/output transfer
characteristics for the two modes are shown in Figure 34. In
both modes, the absolute voltage on each input must remain
within the supply range AGND to AVDD. The bipolar mode
allows either single-ended or complementary input signals.
The analog input of the AD7723 uses a switched capacitor
technique to sample the input signal. For the purpose of driving
the AD7723, an equivalent circuit of the analog inputs is shown
in Figure 36. For each half clock cycle, two highly linear
sampling capacitors are switched to both inputs, converting the
input signal into an equivalent sampled charge. A signal source
driving the analog inputs must be able to source this charge
while also settling to the required accuracy by the end of each
half-clock phase.

DRIVING THE ANALOG INPUTS
To interface the signal source to the AD7723, at least one op
amp is generally required. Choice of op amp is critical to
achieving the full performance of the AD7723. The op amp not
only has to recover from the transient loads that the ADC
imposes on it, but it must also have good distortion
characteristics and very low input noise. Resistors in the signal
path can also add to the overall thermal noise floor,
necessitating the choice of low value resistors.
Placing an RC filter between the drive source and the ADC
inputs, as shown in Figure 37, has a number of beneficial
effects. Transients on the op amp outputs are significantly
reduced because the external capacitor now supplies the
instantaneous charge required when the sampling capacitors are
switched to the ADC input pins and input circuit noise at the
sample images is now significantly attenuated, resulting in
improved overall SNR. The external resistor serves to isolate the
external capacitor from the ADC output, thus improving op
amp stability while also isolating the op amp output from any
remaining transients on the capacitor. By experimenting with
different filter values, the optimum performance can be
achieved for each application. As a guideline, the RC time
constant (R × C) should be less than a quarter of the clock
period to avoid nonlinear currents from the ADC inputs being
stored on the external capacitor and degrading distortion. This
restriction means that this filter cannot form the main antialias
filter for the ADC.

With the unipolar input mode selected, just one op amp is
required to buffer single-ended input signals. However, driving
the AD7723 with complementary signals and with the bipolar
input range selected has some distinct advantages: even-order
harmonics in both the drive circuits and the AD7723 front end
are attenuated and the peak-to-peak input signal range on both
inputs is halved. Halving the input signal range allows some op
amps to be powered from the same supplies as the AD7723.
Although a complementary driver requires the use of two op
amps per ADC, it may avoid the need to generate additional
supplies just for these op amps.
Figure 38 and Figure 39 show two such circuits for driving the
AD7723. Figure 38 is intended for use when the input signal is
biased about 2.5 V, while Figure 39 is used when the input signal
is biased about ground. While both circuits convert the input
signal into a complementary signal, the circuit in Figure 39 also
level shifts the signal so that both outputs are biased about 2.5 V.
Suitable op amps include the AD8047, AD8044, AD8041, and
its dual equivalent, the AD8042. The AD8047 has lower input
noise than the AD8041/AD8042 but has to be supplied from a
+7.5 V/−2.5 V supply. The AD8041/AD8042 typically degrades
SNR from 90 dB to 88 dB but can be powered from the same
single 5 V supply as the AD7723.

APPLYING THE REFERENCE
The reference circuitry used in the AD7723 includes an on-chip
2.5 V band-gap reference and a reference buffer circuit. The
block diagram of the reference circuit is shown in Figure 40.
The internal reference voltage is connected to REF1 through a
3 kΩ resistor and is internally buffered to drive the analog
modulator’s switched cap DAC (REF2). When using the
internal reference, a 1 µF capacitor is required between REF1
and AGND to decouple the band-gap noise. If the internal
reference is required to bias external circuits, use an external
precision op amp to buffer REF1.

Where gain error or gain error drift requires the use of an
external reference, the reference buffer in Figure 40 can be
turned off by grounding the REF1 pin and the external
reference can be applied directly to REF2 pin. The AD7723
accepts an external reference voltage between 1.2 V to 3.15 V.
By applying a 3 V rather than a 2.5 V reference, SNR is typically
improved by about 1 dB. Where the output common-mode
range of the amplifier driving the inputs is restricted, the fullscale input signal span can be reduced by applying a lower than
2.5 V reference. For example, a 1.25 V reference would make
the bipolar input span ±1 V but would degrade SNR.
Rev. C | Page 21 of 32
AD7723
In all cases, since the REF2 voltage connects to the analog
modulator, a 220 nF and 10 nF capacitor must connect directly
from REF2 to AGND. The external capacitor provides the
charge required for the dynamic load presented at the REF2 pin
(see Figure 41).

When an external clock source is being used, the internal
oscillator circuit can be disabled by tying XTAL_OFF high. A
low phase noise clock should be used to generate the ADC
sampling clock because sampling clock jitter effectively
modulates the input signal and raises the noise floor. The
sampling clock generator should be isolated from noisy digital
circuits, grounded, and heavily decoupled to the analog ground
plane.

CLOCK GENERATION
The AD7723 contains an oscillator circuit to allow a crystal or
an external clock signal to generate the master clock for the
ADC. The connection diagram for use with a crystal is shown
in Figure 43. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendation for
the load capacitors. To enable the oscillator circuit on board the
AD7723, XTAL_OFF should be tied low.
The sampling clock generator should be referenced to the
analog ground in a split ground system. However, this is not
always possible because of system constraints. In many
applications, the sampling clock must be derived from a higher
frequency multipurpose system clock that is generated on the
digital ground plane. If the clock signal is passed between its
origin on a digital ground plane to the AD7723 on the analog
ground plane, the ground noise between the two planes adds
directly to the clock and produces excess jitter. The jitter can
cause degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio and also produce
unwanted harmonics. This can be remedied somewhat by
transmitting the sampling signal as a differential one, using
either a small RF transformer or a high speed differential driver
and a receiver such as PECL. In either case, the original master
system clock should be generated from a low phase noise crystal
oscillator.

AD7723
SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION
The SYNC input provides a synchronization function for use in
parallel or serial mode. SYNC allows the user to begin gathering
samples of the analog input from a known point in time.
This allows a system using multiple AD7723s, operated from a
common master clock, to be synchronized so that each ADC
simultaneously updates its output register.
In a system using multiple AD7723s, a common signal to their
sync inputs synchronizes their operation. On the rising edge of
SYNC, the digital filter sequencer is reset to 0. The filter is held
in a reset state until a rising edge on CLKIN senses SYNC low.
A SYNC pulse, one CLKIN cycle long, can be applied
synchronous to the falling edge of CLKIN. This way, on the
next rising edge of CLKIN, SYNC is sensed low, the filter is
taken out of its reset state, and multiple parts begin to gather
input samples.
Following a SYNC, the modulator and filter need time to settle
before data can be read from the AD7723. DRDY goes high
following a synchronization and it remains high until valid data
is available at the interface.
When operating in any of the serial modes, either SYNC or
frame sync input (FSI) may be used to synchronize multiple
AD7723 devices to a common master clock. The functionality
of FSI is detailed in the Serial Interface section.

cycles, the rising edge of DRDY is used to latch the conversion
data before a new conversion result is loaded into the output
data register. The falling edge of DRDY then sends an
appropriate interrupt signal for interface control. Alternatively,
if buffers are used instead of latches, the falling edge of DRDY
provides the necessary interrupt when a new output word is
available from the AD7723.

When using the AD7723, place a buffer/latch adjacent to the
converter to isolate the converter’s data lines from any noise
that may be on the data bus. Even though the AD7723 has three
state outputs, use of an isolation latch represents good design
practice.
Figure 44 shows how the parallel interface of the AD7723 can
be configured to interface with the system data bus of a
microprocessor or a microcontroller, such as the MC68HC16 or
8XC251. With CS and RD tied permanently low, the data output
bits are always active. When DRDY goes high for two clock

The AD7723 offers a choice of serial or parallel data interface
options to meet the requirements of a variety of system
configurations. In parallel mode, multiple AD7723s can easily
be configured to share a common data bus. Serial mode is ideal
when it is required to minimize the number of data interface
lines connected to a host processor. In either case, careful
attention to the system configuration is required to realize the
high dynamic range available with the AD7723. Consult the
recommendations in the Grounding and Layout section. The
following recommendations for parallel interfacing also apply
for the system design when using the serial mode.
AD7723
SERIAL INTERFACE
Serial data shifts out of the SDO pin synchronous with SCO.
The FSO is used to frame the output data transmission to an
external device. An output data transmission is either 16 or 32
SCO cycles in duration (see Table 3). Serial data shifts out of the
SDO pin, MSB first, LSB last, for a duration of 16 SCO cycles. In
Serial Mode 1, SDO outputs 0s for the last 16 SCO cycles of the
32-cycle data transmission frame.
The clock format pin, CFMT, selects the active edge of SCO.
With CFMT tied logic low, the serial interface outputs FSO and
SDO change state on the SCO rising edge and are valid on the
falling edge of SCO. With CFMT set high, FSO and SDO
change state on the falling SCO edge and are valid on the SCO
rising edge.
The frame sync input, FSI, can be used if the AD7723
conversion process must be synchronized to an external source.
FSI allows the conversion data presented to the serial interface
to be a filtered and decimated result derived from a known
point in time. A common frame sync signal can be applied to
two or more AD7723s to synchronize them to a common
master clock.
When FSI is applied for the first time, the digital filter
sequencer counter is reset to 0, the AD7723 interrupts the
current data transmission, reloads the output shift register,
resets SCO, and transmits the conversion result. Synchronization starts immediately and the following conversions are
invalid while the digital filter settles. FSI can be applied once
after power-up, or it can be a periodic signal, synchronous to
CLKIN, occurring every 32 CLKIN cycles. Subsequent FSI
inputs applied every 32 CLKIN cycles do not alter the serial
data transmission and do not reset the digital filter sequencer
counter. FSI is an optional signal; if synchronization is not
required, FSI can be tied to a logic low and the AD7723
generates FSO outputs.
In Serial Mode 1, the control input, SFMT, can be used to select
the format for the serial data transmission (see Figure 4). FSO is
either a pulse, approximately one SCO cycle in duration, or a
square wave with a period of 32 SCO cycles. With a logic low
level on SFMT, FSO pulses high for one SCO cycle at the
beginning of a data transmission frame. With a logic high level
on SFMT, FSO goes low at the beginning of a data transmission
frame and returns high after 16 SCO cycles.
Note that in Serial Mode 1, FSI can be used to synchronize the
AD7723 if SFMT is set to a logic high. If SFMT is set low, the
FSI input has no effect on synchronization.
In Serial Mode 2 and Serial Mode 3, SFMT should be tied high.
TSI and DOE should be tied low in these modes. The FSO is a
pulse, approximately one SCO cycle in duration, occurring at
the beginning of the serial data transmission.
TWO-CHANNEL MULTIPLEXED OPERATION
Two additional serial interface control pins, DOE and TSI, are
provided to allow the serial data outputs of two AD7723s, to
easily share one serial data line when operating in Serial
Mode 1. Figure 45 shows the connection diagram. Since a serial
data transmission frame lasts 32 SCO cycles, two ADCs can
share a single data line by alternating transmission of their 16bit output data onto one SDO pin.

The AD7723’s serial data interface can operate in three modes,
depending on the application requirements. The timing
diagrams in Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 show how the
AD7723 may be used to transmit its conversion results. Table 3
shows the control inputs required to select each serial mode and
the digital filter operating mode. The AD7723 operates solely in
the master mode, providing three serial data output pins for
transfer of the conversion results. The serial data clock output,
SCO, serial data output, SDO, and frame sync output, FSO, are
all synchronous with CLKIN. FSO is continuously output at the
conversion rate of the ADC.
Figure 45. Serial Mode 1 Connection for Two-Channel Multiplexed Operation
The data output enable pin, DOE, controls the SDO output
buffer. When the logic level on DOE matches the state of the
TSI pin, the SDO output buffer drives the serial data line;
otherwise, the output of the buffer goes high impedance. The
serial format pin, SFMT, is set high to choose the frame sync
output format. The clock format pin, CFMT, is set low so that
serial data is made available on SDO after the rising edge of
SCO and can be latched on the SCO falling edge.
Rev. C | Page 25 of 32
AD7723
The master device is selected by setting TSI to a logic low and
connecting its FSO to DOE. The slave device is selected with its
TSI pin tied high and both its FSI and DOE controlled from the
master’s FSO. Since the FSO of the master controls the DOE
input of both the master and slave, one ADC’s SDO is active
while the other is high impedance (Figure 46). When the master
transmits its conversion result during the first 16 SCO cycles of
a data transmission frame, the low level on DOE sets the slave’s
SDO high impedance. Once the master completes transmitting
its conversion data, its FSO goes high and triggers the slave’s FSI
to begin its data transmission frame.
Since FSO pulses are gated by the release of FSI (going low) and
the FSI of the slave device is held high during its data
transmission, the FSO from the master device must be used for
connection to the host processor.

SERIAL INTERFACE TO DSPs
AD7723 TO ADSP-21xx INTERFACE
Figure 47 shows the interface between the ADSP-21xx and the
AD7723. The AD7723 is operated in Mode 2 so that SCO =
CLKIN/2. For the ADSP-21xx, the bits in the serial port control
register should be set up as RFSR = 1 (a frame sync is needed
for each transfer), SLEN = 15 (16-bit word lengths), RFSW = 0
(normal framing mode for receive operations), INVRFS = 0
(active high RFS), IRFS = 0 (external RFS), and ISCLK = 0
(external serial clock).
ADSP-21xx
(the DSP begins reading the 16-bit word after the DSP has
identified the frame sync signal rather than the DSP reading the
word at the same instant as the frame sync signal is identified),
and LRFS = 0 (RFS is active high). The AD7723 can be used in
Mode 1, Mode 2, or Mode 3 when interfaced to the ADSP2106x SHARC DSP.
AD7723 TO DSP56002 INTERFACE
Figure 48 shows the AD7723 to DSP56002 interface. To
interface the AD7723 to the DSP56002, the ADC is operated in
Mode 2 when the ADC is operated with a 19.2 MHz clock. The
DSP56002 is configured as follows: SYN = 1 (synchronous
mode), SCD1 = 0 (RFS is an input), GCK = 0 (a continuous
serial clock is used), SCKD = 0 (the serial clock is external),
WL1 = l, WL0 = 0 (transfers is 16 bits wide), FSL1 = 0, and
FSL0 = 1 (the frame sync is active at the beginning of each
transfer). Alternatively, the DSP56002 can be operated in
asynchronous mode (SYN = 0).
In this mode, the serial clock for the receive section is input to
the SCO pin. This is accomplished by setting Bit SCDO to 0
(external Rx clock).

In serial mode, the AD7723 can be directly interfaced to several
industry-standard digital signal processors. In all cases, the
AD7723 operates as the master with the DSP operating as the
slave. The AD7723 provides its own serial clock (SCO) to
transmit the digital word on the SDO pin to the DSP. The
AD7723 also generates the frame synchronization signal that
synchronizes the transfer of the 16-bit word from the AD7723
to the DSP. Depending on the serial mode used, SCO has a
frequency equal to CLKIN or equal to CLKIN/2. When SCO
equals 19.2 MHz, the AD7723 can be interfaced to the Analog
Devices ADSP-2106x SHARC DSP. With a 19.2 MHz master
clock and SCO equal to CLKIN/2, the AD7723 can be
interfaced with the ADSP-21xx family of DSPs, the DSP56002,
and the TMS320C5x-57. When the AD7723 is used in the
HALF_PWR Mode, that is, CLKIN is less than 10 MHz, then
the AD7723 can be used with DSPs, such as the
TMS320C20/TMS320C25 and the DSP56000/DSP56001.

GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The analog and digital power supplies to the AD7723 are
independent and separately pinned out to minimize coupling
between the analog and digital sections within the device. The
AD7723 AGND and DGND pins should be soldered directly to
a ground plane to minimize series inductance. In addition, the
ac path from any supply pin or reference pin (REF1 and REF2)
through its decoupling capacitors to its associated ground must
be made as short as possible (Figure 50). To achieve the best
decoupling, place surface-mount capacitors as close as possible
to the device, ideally right up against the device pins.
All ground planes must not overlap to avoid capacitive
coupling. The AD7723’s digital and analog ground planes must
be connected at one place by a low inductance path, preferably
right under the device. Typically, this connection is either a
trace on the printed circuit board of 0.5 cm wide when the
ground planes are on the same layer, or 0.5 cm wide minimum
plated through holes when the ground planes are on different
layers. Any external logic connected to the AD7723 should use
a ground plane separate from the AD7723’s digital ground
plane. These two digital ground planes should also be
connected at just one place.
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these couple
noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed
to run under the AD7723 to shield it from noise coupling. The
power supply lines to the AD7723 should use as large a trace as
possible (preferably a plane) to provide a low impedance path
and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on
opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each
other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through the
board.

A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes
because it gives the best shielding. Noise can be minimized by
paying attention to the system layout and preventing different
signals from interfering with each other. High level analog
signals should be separated from low level analog signals, and
both should be kept away from digital signals. In waveform
sampling and reconstruction systems, the sampling clock
(CLKIN) is as vulnerable to noise as any analog signal. CLKIN
should be isolated from the analog and digital systems. Fast
switching signals like clocks should be shielded with their
associated ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of
the board, and clock signals should never be routed near the
analog inputs.

Separate power supplies for AVDD and DVDD are also highly
desirable. The digital supply pin DVDD should be powered from
a separate analog supply, but if necessary, DVDD may share its
power connection to AVDD, as shown in the connection diagram
in Figure 50. The ferrites are also recommended to filter high
frequency signals from corrupting the analog power supply.
