GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7798/AD7799 are low power, low noise, complete
analog front ends for high precision measurement applications.
The AD7798/AD7799 contains a low noise, 16-/24-bit ∑-Δ
ADC with three differential analog inputs. The on-chip, low
noise instrumentation amplifier means that signals of small
amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC. With a gain
setting of 64, the rms noise is 27 nV for the AD7799 and 40 nV
for the AD7798 when the update rate equals 4.17 Hz.
On-chip features include a low-side power switch, reference
detect, programmable digital output pins, burnout currents,
and an internal clock oscillator. The output data rate from the
part is software-programmable and can be varied from 4.17 Hz
to 470 Hz.
The part operates with a power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
The AD7798 consumes a current of 300 μA typical, whereas the
AD7799 consumes 380 μA typical. Both devices are housed in a
16-lead TSSOP package.

Temperature range is –40°C to +105°C. At the 19.6 Hz and 39.2 Hz update rates, the INL, power supply rejection (PSR), common-mode rejection (CMR), and normal
mode rejection (NMR) do not meet the data sheet specification if the voltage on the AIN(+) or AIN(−) pins exceeds AVDD − 1.6 V typically. When this voltage is
exceeded, the INL, for example, is reduced to 18 ppm of FS typically and the PSR is reduced to 69 dB typically. Therefore, for guaranteed performance at these update
rates, the absolute voltage on the analog input pins needs to be below AVDD − 1.6 V.
2
Specification is not production tested, but is supported by characterization data at initial product release.
3
Following a calibration, this error is in the order of the noise for the programmed gain and update rate selected.
4
Recalibration at any temperature removes these errors.
5
Full-scale error applies to both positive and negative full-scale and applies at the factory calibration conditions (AVDD = 4 V, gain = 1, TA = 25°C).

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 3 and Figure 4.
3
These times are measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the V OL or VOH limits.
4
SCLK active edge is the falling edge of SCLK.
5
These times are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured time 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.
6 RDY
returns high after a read of the ADC. In single-conversion mode and continuous-conversion mode, data can be reread, if required, while RDY is high, but 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.

Description
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is 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 noncontinuous, with the information transmitted
to or from the ADC in smaller batches of data.
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 it can be used as a frame synchronization signal when
communicating with the device. CS can be hardwired low, allowing the ADC to operate in 3-wire mode, with SCLK,
DIN, and DOUT/RDY used to interface with the device.
Analog Input/Digital Output Pin. AIN3(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN3(+)/AIN3(−).
Alternatively, this pin can function as a general-purpose output bit referenced between AVDD and GND
Analog Input/Digital Output Pin. AIN3(−) is the negative terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN3(+)/AIN3(−).
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(−).
Positive Reference Input. An external reference can be applied between REFIN(+) and REFIN(−). REFIN(+) can lie
anywhere between AVDD and GND + 0.1 V. The nominal reference voltage (REFIN(+) – REFIN(−)) is 2.5 V, but the part
can function with a reference from 0.1 V to AVDD.
Negative Reference Input. REFIN(−) is the negative reference input for REFIN. This reference input can lie anywhere
between GND and AVDD − 0.1 V.
Low-Side Power Switch to GND.
Ground Reference Point.
Supply Voltage. 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
Digital Interface Supply Voltage. The logic levels for the serial interface pins are related to this supply, which is
between 2.7 V and 5.25 V. The DVDD voltage is independent of the voltage on AVDD; therefore, AVDD can equal 5 V
with DVDD at 3 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 goes 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
information is placed on the DOUT/RDY pin on the SCLK falling edge and is valid upon the SCLK rising edge.
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, with the register selection bits of the communication register identifying the appropriate register.

OUTPUT NOISE AND RESOLUTION SPECIFICATIONS
AD7798
the effective resolution is calculated using the rms noise, whereas
the peak-to-peak resolution is based on the peak-to-peak noise.
The peak-to-peak resolution represents the resolution for which
there is no code flicker. These numbers are typical and are
rounded to the nearest LSB.
Table 5 shows the AD7798 output rms noise for some update
rates and gain settings. The numbers given are for the bipolar
input range with a 2.5 V reference. These numbers are typical
and are generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V. Table 6
shows the effective resolution, and the output peak-to-peak
resolution is shown in parentheses. It is important to note that

resolution is calculated using the rms noise, whereas the
peak-to-peak resolution is based on peak-to-peak noise. The
peak-to-peak resolution represents the resolution for which
there is no code flicker. These numbers are typical and are
rounded to the nearest LSB.
Table 7 shows the AD7799 output rms noise for some update
rates and gain settings. The numbers given are for the bipolar
input range with a 2.5 V reference. These numbers are typical
and are generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V. Table 8
shows the effective resolution, and the output peak-to-peak
resolution is given in parentheses. Note that the effective

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.
COMMUNICATION REGISTER
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0
The communication register is an 8-bit, write-only register. All communication to the part must start with a write operation to the
communication register. The data written to the communication register determines whether the next operation is a read or write
operation, and to which register this operation takes place. After the read or write operation is complete, the interface returns to its
default state, where it expects a write operation to the communication 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 9 outlines
the bit designations for the communication register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the bit location, with CR denoting that the bits are in the
communication register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in parentheses 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 communication register occurs.
If a 1 is the first bit written, the part does not clock subsequent bits into the register. It stays 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 are loaded
to the communication register.
Read/Write Bit. A 0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation is a write to a specified register.
A 1 in this position indicates that the next operation is a read from the designated register.
Register Address Bits. These bits are used to select the register during the serial interface communication.
See Table 10.
Continuous Read of the Data Register Bit. 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, that is, the contents of
the data register are placed on the DOUT pin automatically when the SCLK pulses are applied after the
RDY pin goes low to indicate that a conversion is complete. The communication register does not have
to be written to for data reads. To enable continuous read mode, the instruction 01011100 must be
written to the communication register. To exit the continuous read mode, the instruction 01011000
must be written to the communication register while the RDY pin is low. While in continuous read mode,
the ADC monitors activity on the DIN line for the instruction to exit continuous read mode. Additionally,
a reset occurs 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.

The status register is an 8-bit, read-only register. To access the status register, the user must write to the communication register, select the
next operation to be a read, and load Bit RS2, Bit RS1, and Bit RS0 with 0. Table 11 outlines the bit designations for the status register. SR0
through SR7 indicate the bit locations, with SR denoting that the bits are in the status register. SR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream.

Description
Ready Bit. Cleared when data is written to the data register. Set after the data register is read or after 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. This pin can be used as an alternative to the status register for monitoring
the ADC for conversion data.
Error Bit. This bit is written to at the same time as the RDY bit. Set to indicate that the result written to the
data register is clamped to all 0s or all 1s. Error sources include overrange and underrange. Cleared by a write
operation to start a conversion.
No Reference Bit. Set to indicate that the reference (REFIN) is at a voltage below a specified threshold. When
NOREF is set, conversion results are clamped to all 1s. Cleared to indicate that a valid reference is applied to
the reference pins. The NOREF bit is enabled by setting the REF_DET bit in the configuration register to 1.
This bit is automatically cleared.
This bit is automatically cleared on the AD7798 and automatically set on the AD7799.
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, update rate, and low-side power switch. Table 12 outlines the bit designations for the mode register. MR0 through MR15
indicate the bit locations, with MR denoting that the bits are in the mode register. MR15 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The
number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. A write to the mode register resets the modulator and filter
and sets the RDY bit.

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. After power-on, a channel
change, or a write to the mode, configuration, or IO registers, the first conversion is available after a period of 2/fADC,
and subsequent conversions are available at a frequency of fADC.
Single-Conversion Mode. When single-conversion mode is selected, the ADC powers up and performs a single
conversion. The oscillator requires 1 ms to power up and settle. The ADC then performs the conversion, which takes
a time of 2/fADC. The conversion result is placed in the data register, RDY goes low, and the ADC returns to powerdown 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 this mode, all AD7798/AD7799 circuitry is powered down, including the burnout currents.
Internal Zero-Scale Calibration. An internal short is automatically connected to the enabled channel. A calibration
takes two conversion cycles to complete. 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. A full-scale input voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input for
this calibration. When the gain equals 1, a calibration takes two conversion cycles to complete. For higher gains, four
conversion cycles are required to perform the full-scale calibration. 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 full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the selected channel. Internal full-scale
calibrations cannot be performed when the gain equals 128. The ADC is factory-calibrated at a gain of 128 and this
factory-generated value is placed in the full-scale register on power up and when the gain is set to 128. With this
gain setting, a system full-scale calibration can be performed. To minimize the full-scale error, a full-scale calibration
is required each time the gain of a channel is changed.
System Zero-Scale Calibration. Users should connect the system zero-scale input to the channel input pins as
selected by the CH2 to CH0 bits. A system offset calibration takes two conversion cycles to complete. 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. A
zero-scale calibration is required each time the gain of a channel is changed.
System Full-Scale Calibration. Users should connect the system full-scale input to the channel input pins, as selected
by the CH2 to CH0 bits. A calibration takes two conversion cycles to complete. 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 full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the selected channel. A full-scale 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, to enable or disable the buffer, to enable or disable the burnout currents, to select the
gain, and to select the analog input channel. Table 15 outlines the bit designations for the filter register. CON0 through CON15 indicate
the bit locations, with CON denoting that the bits are in the configuration register. CON15 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The
number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of the bit.

Description
These bits must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Burnout Current Enable Bit. When this bit is set to 1 by the user, the 100 nA current sources in the signal path
are enabled. When BO = 0, the burnout currents are disabled. The burnout currents can be enabled only when
the buffer or in-amp is active.
Unipolar/Bipolar Bit. Set by the user to enable unipolar coding, that is, zero differential input results in
0x000000 output, and a full-scale differential input results in 0xFFFFFF output. Cleared by the user to enable
bipolar coding. Negative full-scale differential input results in an output code of 0x000000, zero differential
input results in an output code of 0x800000, and a positive full-scale differential input results in an output
code of 0xFFFFFF.
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.

Enables the reference detect function. When REF_DET is set, the NOREF bit in the status register indicates
when the external reference being used by the 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 modes. If BUF is cleared, the ADC operates in unbuffered
mode, lowering the power consumption of the device. If BUF is 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.
The buffer can be disabled when the gain equals 1 or 2. For higher gains, the buffer is automatically enabled.
With the buffer disabled, the voltage on the analog input pins can range from 30 mV below GND to 30 mV
above AVDD. When the buffer is enabled, it requires some headroom; therefore, the voltage on any input pin
must be limited to 100 mV within the power supply rails.

RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 1; Power-On/Reset = 0x0000(00)
The conversion result from the ADC is stored in the data register. This is a read-only register. Upon completion of a read operation from
this register, the RDY bit and DOUT/RDY pin are set.

This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Configures the pins AIN3(+)/P1 and AIN3(−)/P2 as analog input pins or digital output pins. When

OFFSET REGISTER
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x8000(AD7798)/0x800000 (AD7799)
Each analog input channel has a dedicated offset register that holds the offset calibration coefficient for the channel. This register is
16 bits wide on the AD7798 and 24 bits wide on the AD7799, and its power-on/reset value is 8000(00) hex. The offset 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 offset register is a read/write register. However, the AD7798/AD7799
must be in idle mode or power-down mode when writing to the offset register.
FULL-SCALE REGISTER
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 1; Power-On/Reset = 0x5XXX (AD7798)/0x5XXX00 (AD7799)
The full-scale register is a 16-bit register on the AD7798 and a 24-bit register on the AD7799. The full-scale register holds the full-scale
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The AD7798/AD7799 has three full-scale registers, with each channel having a dedicated full-scale
register. The full-scale registers are read/write registers. However, when writing to the full-scale registers, users must place the ADC in
power-down mode or idle mode. Upon power-on, these registers are configured with factory-calibrated, full-scale calibration coefficients,
with the calibration performed at gain = 128, the default gain setting. The default value is automatically overwritten if an internal or
system full-scale calibration is initiated by the user, or the full-scale register is written to.

The output rate of the AD7798/AD7799 (fADC) is user-programmable. The allowable update rates, along with the corresponding
settling times, are listed in Table 14. Normal mode rejection is
the major function of the digital filter. Simultaneous 50 Hz and
60 Hz rejection is optimized when the update rate equals 16.7 Hz
or less, because notches are placed at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz with
these update rates (see Figure 13).

The AD7798/AD7799 use slightly different filter types,
depending on the output update rate, so that the rejection of
quantization noise and device noise is optimized. When the
update rate ranges from 4.17 Hz to 12.5 Hz, a sinc3 filter, along
with an averaging filter, is used. When the update rate ranges
from 16.7 Hz to 39 Hz, a modified sinc3 filter is used. This filter
gives simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection when the update
rate equals 16.7 Hz. A sinc4 filter is used when the update rate
ranges from 50 Hz to 242 Hz. Finally, an integrate-only filter is
used when the update rate equals 470 Hz. Figure 12 through
Figure 15 show the frequency responses of the different filter
types for a few of the update rates.

DIN or DOUT/RDY) occur with respect to the SCLK signal.
The DOUT/RDY pin operates as a data ready signal, with the
line going low when a new data-word is available in the output
register. It is reset high when a read operation from the data
register is complete. It also goes high prior to the updating of
the data register to indicate when not to read from the device to
ensure that a data read is not attempted while the register is
being updated. CS is used to select a device. It can be used to

components are connected to the serial bus.

times, even though the DOUT/RDY line returns high after the
first read operation. However, care must be taken to ensure that
the read operations are complete before the next output update
occurs. In continuous-read mode, the data register can only be

The serial interface can operate in 3-wire mode by tying CS low.
In this case, the SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/RDY lines are used to
communicate with the AD7798/AD7799. The end of the conversion can be monitored using the RDY bit in the status register. This scheme is suitable for interfacing to microcontrollers.
If CS is required as a decoding signal, it can be generated from a
port pin. For microcontroller interfaces, it is recommended that
SCLK idles high between data transfers.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
As previously outlined, the programmable functions of the
AD7798/AD7799 are controlled using a set of on-chip registers.
Data is written to these registers via the serial interface, which
also provides read access to the on-chip registers. All
communication with the part must start with a write to the
communication register. After power-on or reset, the device
expects a write to its communication register. The data written
to this register determines whether the next operation is a read
or write operation and to which register this operation occurs.
Therefore, write access to any register begins with a write
operation to the communication register, followed by a write to
the selected register. A read operation from any other register
(except when continuous-read mode is selected) starts with a
write to the communication register, followed by a read
operation from the selected register.
The serial interface of the AD7798/AD7799 consists of four
signals: CS, DIN, SCLK, and DOUT/RDY. The DIN line is used
to transfer data into the on-chip registers, and DOUT/RDY is
used for accessing data from the on-chip registers. SCLK is the
The AD7798/AD7799 can be operated with CS being used as a
frame-synchronization signal. This scheme is useful for DSP
interfaces. In this case, the first bit (MSB) is effectively clocked
out by CS, because CS normally occurs after the falling edge of
SCLK in DSPs. The SCLK can continue to run between data
transfers, provided that the timing numbers are obeyed.
The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s on the
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7798/AD7799 line
for at least 32 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset.
This ensures that the interface can be reset to a known state if
the interface is lost due to a software error or a glitch in the
system. Reset returns the interface to the state in which it is
expecting a write to the communication register. This operation
resets the contents of all registers to their power-on values.
Following a reset, the user should allow a period of 500 ms
before addressing the serial interface.
The AD7798/AD7799 can be configured to continuously
convert or to perform a single conversion (See Figure 16
through Figure 18).

AD7798/AD7799
Single-Conversion Mode
Continuous-Conversion Mode
In single-conversion mode, the AD7798/AD7799 is placed in
power-down mode after conversions. When a single conversion
is initiated by setting MD2, MD1, and MD0 to 0, 0, and 1 in the
mode register, the AD7798/AD7799 powers up, performs a
single conversion, and then returns to power-down mode. The
on-chip oscillator requires approximately 1 ms to power up. A
conversion requires a time period of 2 × tADC. DOUT/RDY goes
low to indicate the completion of a conversion. When the dataword has been read from the data register, DOUT/RDY goes
high. If CS is low, DOUT/RDY remains high until another
conversion is initiated and completed. The data register can be
read several times if required, even when DOUT/RDY is high.
This is the default power-up mode. The AD7798/AD7799
continuously converts, with the RDY bit in the status register
going low each time a conversion is complete. If CS is low, the
DOUT/RDY line also goes low when a conversion is complete.
To read a conversion, the user can write to the communication
register, indicating that the next operation is a read of the data
register. The digital conversion is placed on the DOUT/RDY
pin as soon as SCLK pulses are applied to the ADC. DOUT/RDY
returns high when the conversion is read. The user can reread
this register if required. However, the user must ensure that the
data register is not accessed at the completion of the next
conversion, or the new conversion word is lost.

read before the next conversion is complete. If the user does not
read the conversion before the completion of the next conversion,
or if insufficient serial clocks are applied to the AD7798/AD7799
to read the word, the serial output register is reset when the
next conversion is complete, and the new conversion is placed
in the output serial register.
Rather than write to the communication register to access the
data each time a conversion is complete, the AD7798/AD7799
can be configured so that the conversions are placed on the
DOUT/RDY line automatically. By writing 01011100 to the
communication register, the user need only apply the
appropriate number of SCLK cycles to the ADC, and the
16-/24-bit word is automatically placed on the DOUT/RDY line
when a conversion is complete. The ADC should be configured
for continuous conversion mode.
To exit the continuous-read mode, the instruction 01011000
must be written to the communication register while the
DOUT/RDY pin is low. While in continuous-read mode, the
ADC monitors activity on the DIN line in case the instruction
to exit the continuous-read mode occurs. Additionally, a reset
occurs if 32 consecutive 1s are seen on DIN. Therefore, DIN
should be held low in continuous-read mode until an
instruction is written to the device.
When DOUT/RDY goes low to indicate the end of a conversion,
sufficient SCLK cycles must be applied to the ADC, and the
data conversion is placed on the DOUT/RDY line. When the
conversion is read, DOUT/RDY returns high until the next
conversion is available. In this mode, the data can only be read
once. In addition, the user must ensure that the data-word is

AD7798/AD7799
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
The AD7798/AD7799 each have three differential analog input
channels. These are connected to the on-chip buffer amplifier
when the devices are operated in buffered mode, and directly to
the modulator when the devices are operated in unbuffered mode.
In buffered mode (the BUF bit in the mode register is set to 1),
the input channel feeds into a high impedance input stage of the
buffer amplifier. Therefore, the input can tolerate significant
source impedances and is tailored for direct connection to
external resistive-type sensors, such as strain gages or resistance
temperature detectors (RTDs).
When the gain equals 4 or higher, the output from the buffer is
applied to the input of the on-chip instrumentation amplifier.
This low noise in-amp means that signals of small amplitude
can be gained within the AD7798/AD7799 while still maintaining
excellent noise performance. For example, when the gain is set
to 64 and the update rate equals 4.17 Hz, the rms noise is 27 nV
typically for the AD7799, which is equivalent to 25.5 bits effective
resolution, or 20 bits peak-to-peak resolution when VREF = 5 V.
When BUF = 0, the parts are operated in unbuffered mode.
This results in a higher analog input current. Note that this
unbuffered input path provides a dynamic load to the driving
source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on the input
pins can cause gain errors, depending on the output impedance
of the source that is driving the ADC input. Table 17 shows the
allowable external resistance/capacitance values for unbuffered
mode such that no gain error at the 20-bit level is introduced.

The AD7798/AD7799 can be operated in unbuffered mode only
when the gain equals 1 or 2. At higher gains, the buffer is automatically enabled. The absolute input voltage range in buffered
mode is restricted to a range between GND + 100 mV and
AVDD – 100 mV. When the gain is set to 4 or higher, the in-amp
is enabled. The absolute input voltage range when the in-amp is
active is restricted to a range between GND + 300 mV and
AVDD − 1.1 V. Care must be taken in setting up the commonmode voltage so that these limits are not exceeded; otherwise,
linearity and noise performance degrade.
The AD7798/AD7799 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 2,
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 using Bit G2 to Bit G0 in the configuration
register. Therefore, with a 2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges are
from (0 mV to 19.53 mV) to (0 V to 2.5 V), and the bipolar
ranges are from ±19.53 mV to ±2.5 V. When the in-amp is active
(gain ≥ 4), the common-mode voltage (AIN(+) + AIN(−))/2 must
be greater than or equal to 0.5 V.
If the AD7798/AD7799 operate with a reference that has a value
equal to AVDD, the analog input signal must be limited to 90% of
VREF/gain when the in-amp is active for correct operation.
BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION
The analog input to the AD7798/AD7799 can accept either
unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges. A bipolar input range
does not imply that the parts can tolerate negative voltages with
respect to system GND. Unipolar and bipolar signals on the
AIN(+) input are referenced to the voltage on the AIN(–) input.
For example, if AIN(−) is 2.5 V and the ADC is configured for
unipolar mode and a gain of 1, the input voltage range on the
AIN(+) pin is 2.5 V to 5 V.
If the ADC is configured for bipolar mode, the analog input range
on the AIN(+) input is 0 V to 5 V. The bipolar/unipolar option is
chosen by programming the U/B bit in the configuration register.
The absolute input voltage in unbuffered mode includes the
range between GND − 30 mV and AVDD + 30 mV as a result of
being unbuffered. The negative absolute input voltage limit
allows the possibility of monitoring small true bipolar signals
with respect to GND.

AD7798/AD7799
DATA OUTPUT CODING
When the ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output
code is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input
voltage resulting in a code of 00...00, a midscale voltage resulting
in a code of 100...000, and a full-scale input voltage resulting in
a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog input voltage
can be represented as
Code = (2N × AIN × GAIN)/VREF
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output
code is offset binary, with a negative full-scale voltage resulting
in a code of 000...000, a zero differential input voltage resulting
in a code of 100...000, and a positive full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog
input voltage can be represented as
the low frequency noise in the excitation source is removed
because the application is ratiometric. If the AD7798/AD7799
are used in a nonratiometric application, a low noise reference
should be used.
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7798/
AD7799 include the ADR381 and ADR391, which are low noise,
low power references. Also note that the reference inputs provide
a high impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance
of each reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on these inputs can cause dc gain errors, depending on the
output impedance of the source driving the reference inputs.
where:
AIN is the analog input voltage.
N = 16 for the AD7798, and N = 24 for the AD7799.
Reference voltage sources such as those recommended above
(for example, ADR391) typically have low output impedances
and are, therefore, tolerant to having decoupling capacitors on
REFIN(+) without introducing gain errors in the system.
Deriving the reference input voltage across an external resistor
means that the reference input sees a significant external source
impedance. External decoupling on the REFIN pins is not
recommended in this type of circuit configuration.
BURNOUT CURRENTS
REFERENCE DETECT
The AD7798/AD7799 each contain two 100 nA constant
current generators—one sourcing current from AVDD to
AIN(+), and one sinking current from AIN(−) to GND. The
currents are switched to the selected analog input pair. Both
currents are either on or off, depending on the burnout current
enable (BO) bit in the configuration register. These currents can
be used to verify that an external transducer is still operational
before attempting to take measurements on that channel. Once
the burnout currents are turned on, they flow into the external
transducer circuit, and a measurement of the input voltage on
the analog input channel can be taken. If the resultant voltage
measured is full scale, the user must determine why this is the
case. A full-scale reading could mean that the front-end sensor
is open circuit, that the front-end sensor is overloaded and is
justified in outputting full scale, or that the reference is absent
and, thus, clamping the data to all 1s.
The AD7798/AD7799 include on-chip circuitry to detect if
there is a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. This
feature is enabled when the REF_DET bit in the configuration
register is set to 1. If the voltage between the REFIN(+) and
REFIN(–) pins goes below 0.3 V, or either the REFIN(+) or
REFIN(–) inputs are open circuit, the AD7798/AD7799 detect
that there is no longer a valid reference. In this case, the NOREF
bit of the status register is set to 1. If the AD7798/AD7799 are
performing normal conversions and the NOREF bit becomes
active, the conversion results revert to all 1s. Therefore, it is not
necessary to continuously monitor the status of the NOREF bit
when performing conversions. It is only necessary to verify its
status if the conversion result read from the ADC data register
is all 1s. If the AD7798/AD7799 are performing an offset of fullscale calibration and the NOREF bit becomes active, the updating
of the respective calibration registers is inhibited to avoid loading
incorrect coefficients to these registers, and the ERR bit in the
status register is set. If the user is concerned about verifying that
a valid reference is in place every time a calibration is performed,
the status of the ERR bit should be checked at the end of the
calibration cycle.
Code = 2N – 1 × [(AIN × GAIN/VREF) + 1]
When reading all 1s from the output, the user should check
these three cases before making a judgment. If the voltage
measured is 0 V, it might indicate that the transducer has shortcircuited. For normal operation, these burnout currents are
turned off by writing a 0 to the BO bit in the configuration
register. The current sources work over the normal absolute
input voltage range specifications with buffers on.
REFERENCE
The common-mode range for these differential inputs is from
GND to AVDD. The reference input is unbuffered; therefore,
excessive resistance/capacitance source impedances introduce
gain errors. The reference voltage REFIN (REFIN(+) − REFIN(−))
is 2.5 V nominal, but the AD7798/AD7799 are functional with
reference voltages from 0.1 V to AVDD. In applications where the
excitation (voltage or current) for the transducer on the analog
input also drives the reference voltage for the part, the effect of
RESET
The circuitry and serial interface of the AD7798/AD7799 can
be reset by writing 32 consecutive 1s to the device. This resets
the logic, the digital filter, and the analog modulator, and all
on-chip registers are reset to their default values. A reset is
automatically performed upon power-up. When a reset is
initiated, the user must allow a period of 500 μs before
accessing an on-chip register. A reset is useful if the serial
interface becomes asynchronous due to noise on the SCLK line.
Rev. A | Page 23 of 28
AD7798/AD7799
AVDD MONITOR
Along with converting external voltages, the ADC can be used
to monitor the voltage on the AVDD pin. When Bits CH2 to CH0
equal 1, the voltage on the AVDD pin is internally attenuated by 6,
and the resulting voltage is applied to the ∑-Δ modulator using
an internal 1.17 V reference for analog-to-digital conversion.
This is useful because variations in the power supply voltage
can be monitored.
CALIBRATION
The AD7798/AD7799 provide four calibration modes that can
be programmed via the mode bits in the mode register. These
are internal zero-scale calibration, internal full-scale calibration,
system zero-scale calibration, and system full-scale calibration,
which effectively reduce the offset error and full-scale error to
the order of the noise. After each conversion, the ADC conversion result is scaled using the ADC calibration registers
before being written to the data register. The offset calibration
coefficient is subtracted from the result prior to multiplication
by the full-scale coefficient.
To start a calibration, write the relevant value to the MD2 to
MD0 bits in the mode register. After the calibration is complete,
the contents of the corresponding calibration registers are
updated, the RDY bit in the status register is set, the DOUT/
RDY pin goes low (if CS is low), and the AD7798/AD7799
revert to idle mode.
During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the
respective zero-scale and full-scale input are automatically
connected internally to the ADC input pins. A system calibration,
however, expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale
voltages to be applied to the ADC pins before the calibration
mode is initiated. In this way, external ADC errors are removed.
From an operational point of view, a calibration should be
treated like an ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration (if
required) should always be performed before a full-scale
calibration. System software should monitor the RDY bit in the
status register or the DOUT/RDY pin to determine the end of
calibration via a polling sequence or an interrupt-driven routine.
Both an internal offset calibration and system offset calibration
take two conversion cycles. An internal offset calibration is not
needed because the ADC itself removes the offset continuously.
To perform an internal full-scale calibration, a full-scale input
voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input
for this calibration. When the gain equals 1, a calibration takes
two conversion cycles to complete. For higher gains, four
conversion cycles are required to perform the full-scale
calibration. DOUT/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
full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the
selected channel. Internal full-scale calibrations cannot be
performed when the gain equals 128. A factory calibration
is performed at this gain setting, and the factory value is
automatically loaded into the full-scale register when the gain is
set to 128. With this gain setting, a system full-scale calibration
can be performed. A full-scale calibration is required each time
the gain of a channel is changed to minimize the full-scale error.
An internal full-scale calibration can only be performed at
specified update rates. For gains of 1, 2, and 4, an internal fullscale calibration can be performed at any update rate. However,
for higher gains, internal full-scale calibrations must be performed
when the update rate is less than or equal to 16.7 Hz, 33.2 Hz,
or 50 Hz. Because the full-scale error does not vary with the
update rate, a calibration at one update rate is valid for all update
rates (assuming the gain or reference source is not changed).
A system full-scale calibration takes two conversion cycles to
complete, irrespective of the gain setting. A system full-scale
calibration can be performed at all gains and update rates. If
system offset calibrations are performed along with system fullscale calibrations, the offset calibration should be performed
before the system full-scale calibration is initiated.

AD7798/AD7799
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Because the analog inputs and reference inputs of the ADC are
differential, most of the voltages in the analog modulator are
common-mode voltages. The excellent common-mode rejection of the parts removes common-mode noise on these inputs.
The digital filter provides rejection of broadband noise on the
power supply, except at integer multiples of the modulator
sampling frequency. The digital filter also removes noise from
the analog and reference inputs, provided that these noise
sources do not saturate the analog modulator. As a result, the
AD7798/AD7799 are more immune to noise interference than
conventional high resolution converters. However, because the
resolution of the AD7798/AD7799 is so high and the noise
levels from the AD7798/AD7799 are so low, care must be taken
with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7798/AD7799
should be designed such that the analog and digital sections are
separated and confined to certain areas of the board. A minimum etch technique is generally best for ground planes because
it provides the best shielding.
It is recommended that the GND pin be tied to the AGND plane
of the system. In any layout, it is important that the user keep in
mind the flow of currents in the system, ensuring that the return
paths for all currents are as close as possible to the paths the
currents took to reach their destinations. Avoid forcing digital
currents to flow through the AGND sections of the layout.
The ground planes should be allowed to run under the AD7798/
AD7799 to prevent noise coupling. The power supply lines to
the AD7798/AD7799 should use as wide a trace as possible to
provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches
on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, such as clock
signals, should be shielded with digital ground to avoid
radiating noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals
should never be run near the analog inputs.
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 microstrip technique works best, but it is not always
possible to use this method with a double-sided board. In this
technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
ground planes, and signals are placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution
ADCs. AVDD should be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum in
parallel with 0.1 μF capacitors to GND. DVDD should be
decoupled with 10 μF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 μF
capacitors to the system’s DGND plane, with the system’s
AGND-to-DGND connection being close to the AD7798/
AD7799. To achieve the best from these decoupling components,
they should be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally
right up against the device. All logic chips should be decoupled
with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors to DGND.

AD7798/AD7799
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
operation, the switch is closed and measurements can be taken.
In applications where power is of concern, the AD7798/AD7799
can be placed in standby mode, thus significantly reducing the
power consumed in the application. In addition, the low-side
power switch can be opened while in standby mode, thus
avoiding unnecessary power consumption by the front-end
transducer. When the part is taken out of standby mode and the
low-side power switch is closed, the user should ensure that the
front end circuitry is fully settled before attempting a read from
the AD7798/AD7799.
The AD7798/AD7799 provide a low cost, high resolution
analog-to-digital function. Because the analog-to-digital
function is provided by a ∑-Δ architecture, the parts are more
immune to noisy environments, making them ideal for use in
sensor measurement and industrial and process-control
applications.
WEIGH SCALES
Figure 19 shows the AD7798/AD7799 being used in a weigh
scale application. The load cell is arranged in a bridge network
and gives a differential output voltage between its OUT+ and
OUT– terminals. Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the fullscale output range from the transducer is 10 mV when the
sensitivity is 2 mV/V. The excitation voltage for the bridge can
be used to directly provide the reference for the ADC because
the reference input range includes the supply voltage.
In Figure 19, temperature compensation is performed using a
thermistor. In addition, the reference voltage for the temperature
measurement is derived from a precision resistor in series with
the thermistor. This allows a ratiometric measurement—that is,
the ratio of the precision reference resistance to the thermistor
resistance is measured; therefore, variations of the reference
voltage do not affect the measurement.
A second advantage of using the AD7798/AD7799 in transducerbased applications is that the low-side power switch can be fully
utilized in low power applications. The low-side power switch is
connected in series with the cold side of the bridge. In normal
