GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7677 is a 16-bit, 1 MSPS, 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 AD7677 has a maximum integral nonlinearity of 1 LSB
with a no missing 16-bit code.
The AD7677 is hardware factory calibrated and 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 AD7677 is a 1 MSPS, charge redistribution, 16-bit SAR
ADC with internal error correction circuitry.
It features a very high sampling rate mode (Warp) and, for
asynchronous conversion rate applications, a fast mode (Normal)
and, for low power applications, a reduced power mode (Impulse)
where the power is scaled with the throughput.
It is available in a 48-lead LQFP with operation specified from
–40°C to +85°C.
2. Superior AC Performances
The AD7677 has a minimum dynamic of 92 dB, 94 dB typical.
4. Single-Supply Operation
The AD7677 operates from a single 5 V supply and typically
dissipates only 115 mW. Its power dissipation decreases
with the throughput. 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 both 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.
Mode Selection. When HIGH and IMPULSE LOW, this input 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.
Mode Selection. When HIGH and WARP LOW, this input selects a reduced power mode.
In this mode, the power dissipation is approximately proportional to the sampling rate.
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 is output
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 AD7677
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 AD7677. 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. A falling edge on CNVST puts the internal sample/hold into the hold state and
initiates a conversion. In impulse mode (IMPULSE HIGH and WARP LOW), if CNVST is
held 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:
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code from
a best-fit line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive
full scale.” The point used as “negative full scale” occurs 1/2 LSB
before the first code transition. “Positive full scale” is defined as a
level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition.
( [
ENOB = S / N + D
]
) / 6.02
dB – 1.76
and is expressed in bits.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)
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 decibels.
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.
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.
+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.
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.
–FULL-SCALE ERROR
The first transition (from 100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01 in two’s
complement coding) should occur for an analog voltage 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
first transition from the ideal level.
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.
ZERO ERROR
The zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale input
voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale
output code.
TRANSIENT RESPONSE
The time required for the AD7677 to achieve its rated accuracy
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.

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 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 arrays
are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the
REFGND 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 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.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7677 is a very fast, low-power, single-supply, precise,
16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AD7677 features
different modes to optimize performances according to the
applications.
Modes of Operation
The AD7677 features three modes of operations, Warp, Normal,
and Impulse. Each of these modes is more suitable for specific
applications.
In Warp mode, the AD7677 is capable of converting 1,000,000
samples per second (1 MSPS).
The Warp mode allows the fastest conversion rate up to 1 MSPS.
However, in this mode, and this mode only, the full specified accuracy is guaranteed only when the time between conversion does
not exceed 1 ms. If the time between two consecutive conversions
is longer than 1 ms, for instance, after power-up, the first conversion result should be ignored. This mode makes the AD7677
ideal for applications where fast sample rates are required.
The AD7677 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 AD7677 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 flexible
configurations as either serial or parallel interface. The AD7677
is a pin-to-pin-compatible upgrade of the AD7664, AD7675,
and AD7676.
The Normal mode is the fastest mode (800 kSPS) without any
limitation about the time between conversions. This mode makes
the AD7677 ideal for asynchronous applications such as data
acquisition systems, where both high accuracy and fast sample
rate are required.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7677 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
that are connected to the two comparator inputs.
The Impulse mode, the lowest power dissipation mode, allows
power saving between conversions. The maximum throughput
in this mode is 666 kSPS. When operating at 100 SPS, for
example, it typically consumes only 15 µW. This feature makes
the AD7677 ideal for battery-powered applications.

The diodes shown in Figure 6 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 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.

Driver Amplifier Choice
85
Although the AD7677 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs
to meet at least the following requirements:
80
• The driver amplifier and the AD7677 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
a 16-bit level and, therefore, it should be verified prior to the
driver selection. The tiny op-amp, AD8021, which combines
ultralow noise and a high gain bandwidth, meets this settling
time requirement even when used with a high gain up to 13.

FREQUENCY – Hz
Figure 7. Analog Input CMRR vs. Frequency
During the acquisition phase, for ac signals, the AD7677 behaves
like a one-pole RC filter consisting of the equivalent resistance R+ , R–, and CS. The resistors R+ and R– are typically
168 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 15.8 MHz
reduces undesirable aliasing effect and limits the noise coming from the inputs.
Because the input impedance of the AD7677 is very high, the
AD7677 can be driven directly by a low impedance source
without gain error. That allows the user to input, 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 AD7677 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.
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 8.

f–3 dB is the –3 dB input bandwidth in MHz of the AD7677
(15.8 MHz) or the cutoff frequency of the input filter if
any used.
N is the noise factor of the amplifiers (1 if in buffer configuration).
eN is the equivalent input noise voltage of each opamp in
nV/(Hz)1/2.
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 with the filter in
Figure 5, and 0.27 dB without.
• The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to
that of the AD7677.
The AD8021 meets these requirements and is usually appropriate for almost all applications. The AD8021 needs an external
compensation capacitor of 10 pF. This capacitor should have
good linearity as an NPO ceramic or mica type.
The AD829 is another alternative where high-frequency (above
1 MHz) performance is not required. In gain of 1, it requires an
82 pF compensation capacitor.
The AD8610 is also another option where low bias current is
needed in low-frequency applications.
This configuration, when provided an input signal of 0 to VREF,
will produce a differential ± 2.5 V with midscale at 1.25 V.
If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8138 can
be used.

• 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 AD7677. The noise coming
from the driver is filtered by the AD7677 analog input circuit
one-pole, low-pass filter made by R+, R–, and CS. The SNR
degradation due to the amplifier is:

AD7677
Voltage Reference Input
The AD7677 uses an external 2.5 V voltage reference. The
voltage reference input REF of the AD7677 has a dynamic
input impedance. Therefore, it should be driven by a low
impedance 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 1 µF ceramic
capacitor and 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:
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 AD7677 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.
POWER DISSIPATION
In Impulse mode, the AD7677 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 AD7677
ideal for very low-power battery applications.
• The lownoise, low temperature drift ADR421 and AD780
voltage references
• The lowpower ADR291 voltage reference
• The lowcost AD1582 voltage reference
For applications using multiple AD7677s, it is more effective
to buffer the reference voltage with a lownoise, very stable op
amp like the AD8031.
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.
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.
1M
Note that VREF , as mentioned in the specification table, could be
increased to AVDD – 1.85 V. 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 a reference voltage of 3 V. One
of the benefits here is the increased SNR obtained as a result of
this increase. 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.

Figure 11 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion
process. The AD7677 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.

In Impulse mode, conversions can be automatically initiated. If
CNVST is held low when BUSY is low, the AD7677 controls
the acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a new
conversion. By keeping CNVST low, the AD7677 keeps the
conversion process running by itself. It should be noted that the
–14–

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 AD7677 could sometimes
run slightly faster than the guaranteed limits in the impulse
mode of 666 kSPS. This feature does not exist in warp or
Normal modes.

Figure 11. Basic Conversion Timing
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.
The AD7677 is configured to use the parallel interface (Figure 13)
when the SER/PAR is held low. The data eithercan be read
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 is a 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.
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.

The AD7677 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
AD7677 digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V
logic by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the AD7677
to the host system interface digital supply. Finally, by using the
OB/2C input pin, both two’s complement or straight binary
coding can be used.
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 AD7677 in
multicircuits applications and is held low in a single AD7677
design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion result on
the data bus.

The BYTESWAP pin allows a glueless interface to an 8-bit bus.
As shown in Figure 16, the LSB byte is output on D[7:0] and
the MSB is output on D[15:8] when BYTESWAP is low. When
BYTESWAP is high, the LSB and MSB bytes are swapped and
the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0].
By connecting BYTESWAP to an address line, the 16 bits of
data can be read in 2 bytes on either D[15:8] or D[7:0].

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.
SLAVE SERIAL INTERFACE
External Clock
Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the detailed timing diagrams of
these two modes.
Usually, because the AD7677 is used with a fast throughput, the
mode master, read during conversion, is the most recommended
serial mode when it can be used.
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.
The AD7677 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.
While the AD7677 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 AD7677 provides error correction circuitry that can correct for
In read-during-conversion mode, the serial clock and data toggle at
appropriate instances minimizes potential feedthrough between
digital activity and the critical conversion decisions.
To accommodate slow digital hosts, the serial clock can be
slowed down by using DIVSCLK.

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 AD7677 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.

To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast
discontinuous clock of at least 25 MHz, when impulse mode is
used, 32 MHz when normal, or 40 MHz when warp mode is
used, is recommended to ensure that all the 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. That allows
the use of a slower clock speed like 18 MHz in impulse mode,
21 MHz in normal mode, and 26 MHz in warp mode.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7677 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor and ac signal processing applications interfacing to a digital signal processor. The
AD7677 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 AD7677 to prevent digital noise from coupling into
the ADC. The following sections illustrate the use of the AD7677
with an SPI equipped microcontroller, the ADSP-21065L and
ADSP-218x signal processors.
SPI Interface (MC68HC11)
Figure 22 shows an interface diagram between the AD7677 and
an SPI-equipped microcontroller like the MC68HC11. To
accommodate the slower speed of the microcontroller, the
AD7677 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).

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.

As shown in Figure 23, the AD7677 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).

AD7677
The AD7677 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.

Layout
The AD7677 has very good immunity to noise on the power
supplies as can be seen in Figure 9. However, care should still
be taken with regard to grounding layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7677 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
ground planes should be joined in only one place, preferably
underneath the AD7677, or at least as close as possible to the
AD7677. If the AD7677 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 AD7677.
It is recommended to avoid running digital lines under the device
as these will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground
REV. 0
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7677 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
AD7677 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 AD7677 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 AD7677 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 AD7677 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
connected with short and large traces to minimize parasitic
inductances.
Evaluating the AD7677 Performance
A recommended layout for the AD7677 is outlined in the evaluation board for the AD7677. 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.
