GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7794 is a low power, complete analog front end for
low frequency measurement applications. It contains a low
noise 24-bit ∑-∆ ADC with six differential inputs. The on-chip
low noise instrumentation amplifier means that signals of small
amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC.
The device contains a precision low noise, low drift internal
reference for absolute measurements. An external reference can
also be used if ratiometric measurements are required. Other
on-chip features include programmable excitation current
sources and a bias voltage generator for temperature applications along with 100 nA burnout currents. For pressure and
weighscale applications, a low-side power switch is available to
power down the bridge between conversions to minimize the
power consumption of the system. The device can be operated
with the internal clock or, alternatively, an external clock can be
used if synchronizing several devices. The output data rate
from the part is software programmable and can be varied from
4 Hz to 500 Hz.
INTERFACE
3-wire serial
SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP compatible
Schmitt trigger on SCLK
The part operates with a power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V. It
consumes a current of 450 uA maximum and is housed in a 24lead TSSOP package.

Specification is not production tested but is supported by characterization data at initial product release.
Following a self-calibration, this error will be in the order of the noise for the programmed gain and update rate selected. A system calibration will completely remove
this error.

Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of DVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
See Figure 2 and Figure 3.
These numbers are measured with the load circuit of
Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
11
SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK.
12
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of
Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the
timing characteristics are the true bus relinquish times of the part and, as such, are independent of external bus loading capacitances.

10
RDY returns high after a read of the ADC. In single conversion mode and continuous conversion mode, the same data can be read again, if required, while RDY is high,
although care should be taken to ensure that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update. In continuous read mode, the digital word can be read
only once.

Function
Serial Clock Input for Data Transfers to and from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitt-triggered input, making the
interface suitable for opto-isolated applications. The serial clock can be continuous with all data transmitted in
a continuous train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted to or from the ADC in smaller batches of data.
Clock In/Clock Out. The internal clock can be made available at this pin. Alternatively, the internal clock can
be disabled and the ADC can be driven by an external clock. This allows several ADCs to be driven from a
common clock, allowing simultaneous conversions to be performed.
Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic input used to select the ADC. CS can be used to select the ADC in
systems with more than one device on the serial bus or as a frame synchronization signal in communicating
with the device. CS can be hardwired low, allowing the ADC to operate in 3-wire mode with SCLK, DIN, and
DOUT used to interface with the device.
No Connect
Analog Input/Digital Output pin. AIN6(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair
AIN6(+)/AIN6(-). Alternatively, this pin can function as a general purpose output bit referenced between AVDD
and GND
Analog Input/ Digital Output pin. AIN6(–) is the negative terminal of the differential analog input pair
AIN6(+)/AIN6(-). Alternatively, this pin can function as a general purpose output bit referenced between AVDD
and GND
Analog Input. AIN1(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN1(+)/AIN1(-).
Analog Input. AIN1(–) is the negative terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN1(+)/AIN1(-).
Analog Input. AIN2(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN2(+)/AIN2(-).
Analog Input. AIN2(–) is the negative terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN2(+)/AIN2(-).
Analog Input. AIN3(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN3(+)/AIN3(-).
Analog Input. AIN3(–) is the negative terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN3(+)/AIN3(-).
Positive Reference Input. An external reference can be applied between REFIN1(+) and REFIN1(-). REFIN1(+)
can lie anywhere between VDD and GND + 0.1 V. The nominal reference voltage (REFIN1(+) – REFIN1(–)) is 2.5
V, but the part functions with a reference from 0.1 V to AVDD.
Negative Reference Input. This reference input can lie anywhere between GND and AVDD – 0.1 V.
Analog Input/Output of Internal Excitation Current Source.
AIN5(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN5(+)/AIN5(-).
Alternatively, the internal excitation current source can be made available at this pin. The excitation current
source is programmable so that the current can be 10 uA, 200 uA or 1 mA. Either IEXC1 or IEXC2 can be
switched to this output

Serial Interface Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. DVDD is independent of AVDD. Therefore, the serial interface can
be operated at 3 V with AVDD at 5 V or vice versa.
Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDY serves a dual purpose . It functions as a serial data output pin
to access the output shift register of the ADC. The output shift register can contain data from any of the
on-chip data or control registers. In addition, DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready pin,
going low to indicate the completion of a conversion. If the data is not read after the conversion, the pin will go
high before the next update occurs.
The DOUT/RDY falling edge can be used as an interrupt to a processor, indicating that valid data is available.
With an external serial clock, the data can be read using the DOUT/RDY pin. With CS low, the data/control word
informa-tion is placed on the DOUT/RDY pin on the SCLK falling edge and is valid on the SCLK rising edge.
The end of a conversion is also indicated by the RDY bit in the status register. When CS is high, the DOUT/RDY
pin is three-stated but the RDY bit remains active.
Serial Data Input to the Input Shift Register on the ADC. Data in this shift register is transferred to the control
registers within the ADC, the register selection bits of the communications register identifying the appropriate
register.

ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The ADC is controlled and configured via a number of on-chip registers, which are described on the following pages. In the following
descriptions, set implies a Logic 1 state and cleared implies a Logic 0 state, unless otherwise stated.
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0)
The communications register is an 8-bit write-only register. All communications to the part must start with a write operation to the communications register. The data written to the communications register determines whether the next operation is a read or write operation,
and to which register this operation takes place. For read or write operations, once the subsequent read or write operation to the selected
register is complete, the interface returns to where it expects a write operation to the communications register. This is the default state of
the interface and, on power-up or after a reset, the ADC is in this default state waiting for a write operation to the communications register. In situations where the interface sequence is lost, a write operation of at least 32 serial clock cycles with DIN high returns the ADC to
this default state by resetting the entire part. Table 5 outlines the bit designations for the communications register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the bit location, CR denoting the bits are in the communications register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in
brackets indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit.

Description
Write Enable Bit. A 0 must be written to this bit so that the write to the communications register actually
occurs. If a 1 is the first bit written, the part will not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. It will stay
at this bit location until a 0 is written to this bit. Once a 0 is written to the WEN bit, the next seven bits
will be loaded to the communications register.
A 0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation will be a write to a specified register. A 1 in this
position indicates that the next operation will be a read from the designated register.
Register Address Bits. These address bits are used to select which of the ADC’s registers are being
selected during this serial interface communication. See Table 6.
Continuous Read of the Data Register. When this bit is set to 1 (and the data register is selected), the
serial interface is configured so that the data register can be continuously read, i.e., the contents of the
data register are placed on the DOUT pin automatically when the SCLK pulses are applied. The communications register does not have to be written to for data reads. To enable continuous read mode, the
instruction 01011100 must be written to the communications register. To exit the continuous read
mode, the instruction 01011000 must be written to the communications register while the RDY pin is
low. While in continuous read mode, the ADC monitors activity on the DIN line so that it can receive the
instruction to exit continuous read mode. Additionally, a reset will occur if 32 consecutive 1s are seen on
DIN. Therefore, DIN should be held low in continuous read mode until an instruction is to be written to
the device.
These bits must be programmed to logic 0 for correct operation.

STATUS REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x88)
The status register is an 8-bit read-only register. To access the ADC status register, the user must write to the communications register,
select the next operation to be a read, and load bits RS2, RS1 and RS0 with 0. Table 7 outlines the bit designations for the status register.
SR0 through SR7 indicate the bit locations, SR denoting the bits are in the status register. SR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The

Description
Ready bit for ADC. Cleared when data is written to the ADC data register. The RDY bit is set automatically
after the ADC data register has been read or a period of time before the data register is updated with a
new conversion result to indicate to the user not to read the conversion data. It is also set when the part
is placed in power-down mode. The end of a conversion is indicated by the DOUT/RDY pin also. This pin
can be used as an alternative to the status register for monitoring the ADC for conversion data.
ADC Error Bit. This bit is written to at the same time as the RDY bit. Set to indicate that the result written
to the ADC data register has been clamped to all 0s or all 1s. Error sources include overrange,
underrange or the absence of a reference voltage. Cleared by a write operation to start a conversion.
No External Reference Bit. Set to indicate that the selected reference (REFIN1 or REFIN2) is at a voltage
that is below a specified threshold. When set, conversion results are clamped to all ones.
Cleared to indicate that a valid reference is applied to the selected reference pins.
The NOXREF bit is enabled by setting the REF_DET bit in the Configuration register to 1. The ERR bit is
also set if the voltage applied to the selected reference input is invalid.
This bit is automatically cleared.
This bit is automatically set.
These bits indicate which channel is being converted by the ADC.
MODE REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 1; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x000A)
The mode register is a 16-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to select the operating mode, the update rate and the clock source. Table 8 outlines the bit designations for the mode register. MR0 through MR15 indicate
the bit locations, MR denoting the bits are in the mode register. MR15 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in brackets
indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. Any write to the setup register resets the modulator and filter and sets the RDY bit.

Power Switch Control Bit.
Set by user to close the power switch PSW to GND. The power switch can sink up to 20 mA.
Cleared by user to open the power switch.
When the ADC is placed in power-down mode, the power switch is opened.
These bits must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
These bits are used to select the clock source for the AD7794. Either the on-chip 64 kHz clock can be
used or an external clock can be used. The ability to use an external clock is useful as it allows several
AD7794 devices to be synchronised. Also, 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is improved when an accurate external
clock drives the AD7794.

Mode
Continuous Conversion Mode (Default).
In continuous conversion mode, the ADC continuously performs conversions and places the result in the data
register. RDY goes low when a conversion is complete. The user can read these conversions by placing the
device in continuous read mode whereby the conversions are automatically placed on the DOUT line when
SCLK pulses are applied. Alternatively, the user can instruct the ADC to output the conversion by writing to
the communications register. After power-on, the first conversion is available after a period 2/ fADC when
chopping is enabled or 1/ fADC when chopping is disabled. Subsequent conversions are available at a
frequency of fADC with chopping either enabled or disabled,
Single Conversion Mode.
In single conversion mode, the ADC is placed in power-down mode when conversions are not being
performed. When single conversion mode is selected, the ADC powers up and performs a single conversion,
which occurs after a period 2/fADC when chopping is enabled or 1/ fADC when chopping is disabled. The
conversion result in placed in the data register, RDY goes low, and the ADC returns to power-down mode.
The conversion remains in the data register and RDY remains active (low) until the data is read or another
conversion is performed.
Idle Mode.
In Idle Mode, the ADC Filter and Modulator are held in a reset state although the modulator clocks are still
provided
Power-Down Mode.
In power down mode, all the AD7794 circuitry is powered down including the current sources, power switch,
burnout currents, bias voltage generator and CLKOUT circuitry.
Internal Zero-Scale Calibration.
An internal short is automatically connected to the enabled channel. A calibration takes 2 conversion cycles
to complete when chopping is enabled and 1 conversion cycle when chopping is disabled. RDY goes high
when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle
mode following a calibration. The measured offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected
channel
Internal Full-Scale Calibration.
The fullscale input voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input for this calibration.
The full-scale error of the AD7794 is calbrated at a gain of 1 using the internal reference in the factory. When
a channel is operated with a gain of 1 and the internal reference is selected, this factory-calibrated value is
loaded into the full-scale register when a full-scale calibration is initiated.
When an external reference is selected at a gain of 1, an internal fullscale calibration can be performed. When
the gain equals 1, a calibration takes 2 conversion cycles to complete when chopping is enabled and 1
conversion cycle when chopping is disabled.
For higher gains, 4 conversion cycles are required to perform the fullscale calibration when chopping is
enabled and 2 conversion cycles when chopping is disabled.
RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is
placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured fullscale coefficient is placed in the fullscale
register of the selected channel.
Internal full-scale calibrations cannot be performed when the gain equals 128. With this gain setting, a
system full-scale calibration can be performed.

A fullscale calibration is required each time the gain of a channel is changed.
System Offset Calibration.
User should connect the system zero-scale input to the .channel input pins as selected by the CH2-CH0 bits.
A system offset calibration takes 2 conversion cycles to complete when chopping is enabled and one
conversion cycle when chopping is disabled. RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low
when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured
offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected channel.
System Full-Scale Calibration.
User should connect the system full-scale input to the .channel input pins as selected by the CH2-CH0 bits.
A calibration takes 2 conversion cycles to complete when chopping is enabled and one conversion cycle
when chopping is disabled.. RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the
calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured fullscale

A fullscale calibration is required each time the gain of a channel is changed.

CONFIGURATION REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 0; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x0710)
The configuration register is a 16-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to configure
the ADC for unipolar or bipolar mode, enable or disable the buffer, enable or disable the burnout currents, select the gain and select the analog input channel. Table 11 outlines the bit designations for the filter register. CON0 through CON15 indicate the bit locations, CON

ADC is open circuit or less than 0.5 V.
When cleared, the reference detect function is disabled.
Configures the ADC for buffered or unbuffered mode of operation. If cleared, the ADC operates in
unbuffered mode, lowering the power consumption of the device. If set, the ADC operates in buffered
mode, allowing the user to place source impedances on the front end without contributing gain errors
to the system. For gains of 1 and 2, the buffer can be enabled or disabled. For higher gains, the buffer is
automatically enabled.

DATA REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 1; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x000000)
The conversion result from the ADC is stored in this data register. This is a read-only register. On completion of a read operation from
this register, the RDY bit/pin is set.
ID REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 0, 0; POWER-ON/RESET = 0xXF)
The Identification Number for the AD7794 is stored in the ID register. This is a read-only register.
IO REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 0, 1; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x00)
The I/O register is an 8-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to enable the excitation
currents and select the value of the excitation currents. Table 12 outlines the bit designations for the IO register. IO0 through IO7 indicate
the bit locations, IO denoting the bits are in the IO register. IO7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in brackets indicates the
power-on/reset default status of that bit.

OFFSET REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 0; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x800000)
The offset register holds the offset calibration coefficient for the ADC. The power-on-reset value of the internal zero-scale calibration
coefficient register is 800000 hex. The AD7794 has 4 offset registers. Channels AIN1 to AIN3 have dedicated offset registers while channels AIN4, AIN5 and AIN6 share an offset register. Each of these registers is a 24-bit read/write register. This register is used in
conjunction with its associated full-scale register to form a register pair. The power-on-reset value is automatically overwritten if an internal or system zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user. The AD7794 must be placed in power down mode or idle mode when
writing to the offset register.
FULL-SCALE REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 1; POWER-ON/RESET = 0x5XXXX5)
The full-scale registers is a 24-bit register that holds the full-scale calibration coefficient for the ADC. The AD77794 has 4 full-scale
registers. Channels AIN1, AIN2 and AIN3 have dedicated full-scale registers while channels AIN4, AIN5 and AIN6 share a register. The
full-scale registers are read/write registers. However, when writing to the full-scale registers, the ADC must be placed in power down
mode or idle mode. These registers are configured on power-on with factory-calibrated internal full-scale calibration coefficients, the
factory calibration being performed with the gain set to 1 and using the internal reference. Therefore, every device will have different
default coefficients. These default values are used when the device is operated with a gain of 1 and when the internal reference is selected.
For other gains or when the external reference is used at a gain of 1, these default coefficients will be automatically overwritten if an
internal or system full-scale calibration is initiated by the user. A full-scale calibration should be performed when the gain is changed.
