GENERAL DESCRIPTION†
The AD7714 is a complete analog front end for low-frequency
measurement applications. The device accepts low level signals
directly from a transducer and outputs a serial digital word. It
employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize up to 24
bits of no missing codes performance. The input signal is applied
to a proprietary programmable gain front end based around an
analog modulator. The modulator output is processed by an onchip digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be
programmed via the on-chip control register allowing adjustment of the filter cutoff and settling time.
The part features three differential analog inputs (which can also
be configured as five pseudo-differential analog inputs) as well as a
differential reference input. It operates from a single supply (+3␣ V
or +5␣ V). The AD7714 thus performs all signal conditioning and
conversion for a system consisting of up to five channels.
The AD7714 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller- or DSPbased systems. It features a serial interface that can be configured

for three-wire operation. Gain settings, signal polarity and channel
selection can be configured in software using the serial port. The
AD7714 provides self-calibration, system calibration and background calibration options and also allows the user to read and
write the on-chip calibration registers.
CMOS construction ensures very low power dissipation, and the
power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to
15␣ µW typ. The part is available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic
dual-in-line package (DIP); a 24-lead small outline (SOIC)
package, a 28-lead shrink small outline package (SSOP) and a
24-lead thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7714Y offers the following features in addition to the
standard AD7714: wider temperature range, Schmitt trigger
on SCLK and DIN, operation down to 2.7 V, lower power
consumption, better linearity, and availability in 24-lead
TSSOP package.
2. The AD7714 consumes less than 500 µA (fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz)
or 1 mA (fCLK IN = 2.5␣ MHz) in total supply current, making
it ideal for use in loop-powered systems.
3. The programmable gain channels allow the AD7714 to accept input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer
removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning.
4. The AD7714 is ideal for microcontroller or DSP processor
applications with a three-wire serial interface reducing the number of interconnect lines and reducing the number of optocouplers required in isolated systems. The part contains
on-chip registers that allow control over filter cutoff, input gain,
channel selection, signal polarity and calibration modes.
5. The part features excellent static performance specifications
with 24-bit no missing codes, ±0.0015% accuracy and low
rms noise (140 nV). Endpoint errors and the effects of temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip self-calibration,
which removes zero-scale and full-scale errors.

NOTES
1
Temperature range is as follows: A Versions: –40°C to +85°C.
2
A calibration is effectively a conversion so these errors will be of the order of the conversion noise shown in Tables I to IV. This applies after calibration at the temperature of interest.
3
Recalibration at any temperature will remove these drift errors.
4
Positive Full-Scale Error includes Zero-Scale Errors (Unipolar Offset Error or Bipolar Zero Error) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
5
Full-Scale Drift includes Zero-Scale Drift (Unipolar Offset Drift or Bipolar Zero Drift) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
6
Gain Error does not include Zero-Scale Errors. It is calculated as Full-Scale Error—Unipolar Offset Error for unipolar ranges and Full-Scale Error—Bipolar Zero Error for
bipolar ranges.

NOTES
15
After calibration, if the input voltage exceeds positive full scale, the converter will output all 1s. If the input is less than negative full scale, then the device outputs all 0s.
16
These calibration and span limits apply provided the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed AV DD + 30␣ mV or go more negative than AGND␣ –␣ 30␣ mV. The
offset calibration limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point.
17
For higher gains (≥8) at f CLK␣ IN = 2.4576␣ MHz, the BST bit of the Filter High Register must be set to 1. For other conditions, it can be set to 0.
18
When using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the DV DD current and power dissipation will vary depending on the crystal
or resonator type (see Clocking and Oscillator Circuit section).
19
Measured at dc and applies in the selected passband. PSRR at 50 Hz will exceed 120 dB with filter notches of 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 25 Hz or 50 Hz. PSRR at 60 Hz will exceed 120 dB
with filter notches of 6 Hz, 10 Hz, 30 Hz or 60 Hz.
20
PSRR depends on gain. For Gain of 1 : 70 dB typ: For Gain of 2 : 75 dB typ; For Gain of 4 : 80 dB typ; For Gains of 8 to 128 : 85 dB typ.
21
If the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 µA typical with 5 V supplies and 75 µA typical with 3.3 V supplies. When
using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the internal oscillator continues to run in standby mode and the power dissipation
depends on the crystal or resonator type (see Standby Mode section).

NOTES
1
Temperature range is as follows: Y Version: –40°C to +105°C.
2
A calibration is effectively a conversion so these errors will be of the order of the conversion noise shown in Tables I to IV. This applies after calibration at the temperature of interest.
3
Recalibration at any temperature will remove these drift errors.
4
Positive Full-Scale Error includes Zero-Scale Errors (Unipolar Offset Error or Bipolar Zero Error) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
5
Full-Scale Drift includes Zero-Scale Drift (Unipolar Offset Drift or Bipolar Zero Drift) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
6
Gain Error does not include Zero-Scale Errors. It is calculated as Full-Scale Error—Unipolar Offset Error for unipolar ranges and Full-Scale Error—Bipolar Zero Error for
bipolar ranges.
7
Gain Error Drift does not include Unipolar Offset Drift/Bipolar Zero Drift. It is effectively the drift of the part if zero-scale calibrations only were performed as is the case with background calibration.
8
These numbers are guaranteed by design and/or characterization.
9
The common-mode voltage range on the input pairs applies provided the absolute input voltage specification is obeyed.
10
The input voltage range on the analog inputs is given here with respect to the voltage on the respective negative input of its differential or pseudo-differential pair. See Table VII for which
inputs form differential pairs.
11
V REF = REF IN(+) – REF IN(–).
12
These logic output levels apply to the MCLK OUT output only when it is loaded with a single CMOS load.
13
Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance.
14
See Burnout Current section.
15
After calibration, if the input voltage exceeds positive full scale, the converter will output all 1s. If the input is less than negative full scale, then the device outputs all 0s.
16
These calibration and span limits apply provided the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed AVDD + 30␣ mV or go more negative than AGND␣ –␣ 30␣ mV. The offset calibration
limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point.
17
For higher gains (≥8) at fCLK␣ IN = 2.4576␣ MHz, the BST bit of the Filter High Register must be set to 1. For other conditions, it can be set to 0.
18
When using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the DVDD current and power dissipation will vary depending on the crystal or resonator
type (see Clocking and Oscillator Circuit section).
19
Measured at dc and applies in the selected passband. PSRR at 50 Hz will exceed 120 dB with filter notches of 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 25 Hz or 50 Hz. PSRR at 60 Hz will exceed 120 dB with filter
notches of 6 Hz, 10 Hz, 30 Hz or 60 Hz.
20
PSRR depends on gain.

If the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 µA typical with 5 V supplies and 75 µA typical with 3.3 V supplies. When using a crystal
or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the internal oscillator continues to run in standby mode and the power dissipation depends on the crystal or
resonator type (see Standby Mode section).

NOTES
1
Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of DV DD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
2
See Figures 6 and 7. Timing applies for all grades.
3
CLKIN Duty Cycle range is 45% to 55%. CLKIN must be supplied whenever the AD7714 is not in standby mode. If no clock is present in this case, the device can
draw higher current than specified and possibly become uncalibrated.
4
The AD7714 is production tested with f CLKIN at 2.4576␣ MHz (1␣ MHz for some I DD tests). It is guaranteed by characterization to operate at 400␣ kHz.
5
SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK with POL = 1; SCLK active edge is rising edge of SCLK with POL = 0.
6
These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the V OL or VOH limits.
7
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 effects of charging or discharging the 100 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.
8
DRDY returns high after the first read from the device after an output update. The same data can be read again, if required, while DRDY is high although care
should be taken that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although these devices feature proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may still
occur on these devices if they are subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore,
proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Function
SCLK
Serial Clock. Logic Input. An external serial clock is applied to this input to access serial data from the
AD7714. This serial clock can be a continuous clock with all data transmitted in a continuous train of pulses.
Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted to the AD7714 in smaller
batches of data.
MCLK IN
Master Clock signal for the device. This can be provided in the form of a crystal/resonator or external clock. A
crystal/resonator can be tied across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins. Alternatively, the MCLK IN pin can
be driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and MCLK OUT left unconnected. The part is specified with clock
input frequencies of both 1 MHz and 2.4576 MHz.
MCLK OUT When the master clock for the device is a crystal/resonator, the crystal/resonator is connected between MCLK
IN and MCLK␣ OUT. If an external clock is applied to the MCLK IN, MCLK OUT provides an inverted clock
signal. This clock can be used to provide a clock source for external circuits.
POL
Clock Polarity. Logic Input. With this input low, the first transition of the serial clock in a data transfer
operation is from a low to a high. In microcontroller applications, this means that the serial clock should idle
low between data transfers. With this input high, the first transition of the serial clock in a data transfer
operation is from a high to a low. In microcontroller applications, this means that the serial clock should idle
high between data transfers.
SYNC
Logic Input which allows for synchronization of the digital filters and analog modulators when using a number
of AD7714s. While SYNC is low, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic and the calibration
control logic are reset and the analog modulator is also held in its reset state. SYNC does not affect the digital
interface and does not reset DRDY if it is low.
RESET
Logic Input. Active low input which resets the control logic, interface logic, digital filter and analog modulator
of the part to power-on status.
AIN1
Analog Input Channel 1. Programmable-gain analog input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input
when used with AIN6 or as the positive input of a differential analog input pair when used with AIN2 (see
Communications Register section).
AIN2
Analog Input Channel 2. Programmable-gain analog input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input
when used with AIN6 or as the negative input of a differential analog input pair when used with AIN1 (see
Communications Register section).
AIN3
Analog Input Channel 3. Programmable-gain analog input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input
when used with AIN6 or as the positive input of a differential analog input pair when used with AIN4 (see
Communications Register section).
AIN4
Analog Input Channel 4. Programmable-gain analog input which can be used as a pseudo-differential input
when used with AIN6 or as the negative input of a differential analog input pair when used with AIN3 (see
Communications Register section).
STANDBY Logic Input. Taking this pin low shuts down the analog and digital circuitry, reducing current consumption to
typically 5 µA.
AVDD
Analog Positive Supply Voltage, A Grade Versions: +3.3␣ V nominal (AD7714-3) or +5␣ V nominal (AD7714-5);
Y Grade Versions: 3 V or 5 V nominal.
BUFFER
Buffer Option Select. Logic Input. With this input low, the on-chip buffer on the analog input (after the
multiplexer and before the analog modulator) is shorted out. With the buffer shorted out the current flowing in
the AVDD line is reduced to 270 µA. With this input high, the on-chip buffer is in series with the analog input
allowing the inputs to handle higher source impedances.
REF IN(–)
Reference Input. Negative input of the differential reference input to the AD7714. The REF IN(–) can lie
anywhere between AVDD and AGND provided REF␣ IN(+) is greater than REF IN(–).
REF IN(+)
Reference Input. Positive input of the differential reference input to the AD7714. The reference input is
differential with the provision that REF IN(+) must be greater than REF IN(–). REF IN(+) can lie anywhere
between AVDD and AGND.
AIN5
Analog Input Channel 5. Programmable-gain analog input which is the positive input of a differential analog
input pair when used with AIN6 (see Communications Register section).
AIN6
Analog Input Channel 6. Reference point for AIN1 through AIN4 in pseudo-differential mode or as the
negative input of a differential input pair when used with AIN5 (see Communications Register section).
AGND
Ground reference point for analog circuitry.

can be used to select the device in systems with more than one device on the serial bus or as a frame
synchronization signal in communicating with the AD7714.
Logic output. A logic low on this output indicates that a new output word is available from the AD7714 data
register. The DRDY pin will return high upon completion of a read operation of a full output word. If no data
read has taken place, after an output update, the DRDY line will return high for 500 × t CLK␣ IN cycles prior to
the next output update. This gives an indication of when a read operation should not be attempted to avoid
reading from the data register as it is being updated. DRDY is also used to indicate when the AD7714 has
completed its on-chip calibration sequence.
Serial Data Output with serial data being read from the output shift register on the part. This output shift
register can contain information from the calibration registers, mode register, communications register, filter
selection registers or data register depending on the register selection bits of the Communications Register.
Serial Data Input with serial data being written to the input shift register on the part. Data from this input shift
register is transferred to the calibration registers, mode register, communications register or filter selection
registers depending on the register selection bits of the Communications Register.

TERMINOLOGY*
BIPOLAR NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY
This is the deviation of the first code transition from the ideal
AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) – VREF/GAIN + 0.5␣ LSB) when operating in the bipolar mode.
This is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (not to be confused
with bipolar zero), a point 0.5 LSB below the first code transition (000 . . . 000 to 000 . . . 001) and full scale, a point
0.5 LSB above the last code transition (111 . . . 110 to
111 . . . 111). The error is expressed as a percentage of full
scale.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE ERROR
Positive Full-Scale Error is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110 to 111 . . . 111) from the ideal AIN(+) voltage
(AIN(–) + VREF/GAIN – 3/2 LSBs). It applies to both unipolar
and bipolar analog input ranges.
UNIPOLAR OFFSET ERROR
Unipolar Offset Error is the deviation of the first code transition
from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) + 0.5 LSB) when operating in the unipolar mode.
POSITIVE FULL-SCALE OVERRANGE
Positive Full-Scale Overrange is the amount of overhead available to handle input voltages on AIN(+) input greater than
AIN(–) + VREF/GAIN (for example, noise peaks or excess voltages due to system gain errors in system calibration routines)
without introducing errors due to overloading the analog modulator or overflowing the digital filter.
NEGATIVE FULL-SCALE OVERRANGE
This is the amount of overhead available to handle voltages on
AIN(+) below AIN(–) – VREF/GAIN without overloading the
analog modulator or overflowing the digital filter. Note that the
analog input will accept negative voltage peaks even in the unipolar mode provided that AIN(+) is greater than AIN(–) and
greater than AGND – 30␣ mV.
OFFSET CALIBRATION RANGE
In the system calibration modes, the AD7714 calibrates its
offset with respect to the analog input. The Offset Calibration
Range specification defines the range of voltages that the
AD7714 can accept and still calibrate offset accurately.
BIPOLAR ZERO ERROR
This is the deviation of the midscale transition (0111 . . . 111
to 1000 . . . 000) from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) –
0.5 LSB) when operating in the bipolar mode.
FULL-SCALE CALIBRATION RANGE
GAIN ERROR
This is a measure of the span error of the ADC. It includes fullscale errors but not zero-scale errors. For unipolar input ranges
it is defined as (full-scale error – unipolar offset error) while for
bipolar input ranges it is defined as (full-scale error – bipolar
zero error).
This is the range of voltages that the AD7714 can accept in the
system calibration mode and still calibrate full scale correctly.
INPUT SPAN
In system calibration schemes, two voltages applied in sequence
to the AD7714’s analog input define the analog input range.
The input span specification defines the minimum and maximum input voltages from zero to full scale that the AD7714 can
accept and still calibrate gain accurately.
*AIN(–) refers to the negative input of the differential input pairs or to AIN6
when referring to the pseudo-differential input configurations.

AD7714-5 OUTPUT NOISE
Table Ia shows the output rms noise and effective resolution for some typical notch and –3␣ dB frequencies for the AD7714-5 with
fCLK␣ IN = 2.4576␣ MHz while Table Ib gives the information for fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz. The numbers given are for the bipolar input ranges
with a VREF of +2.5␣ V and with BUFFER = 0. These numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input voltage of 0␣ V. The
numbers in brackets in each table are for the effective resolution of the part (rounded to the nearest 0.5␣ LSB). The effective resolution of the device is defined as the ratio of the output rms noise to the input full scale (i.e., 2 × VREF/GAIN). It should be noted that
it is not calculated using peak-to-peak output noise numbers. Peak-to-peak noise numbers can be up to 6.6 times the rms numbers
while effective resolution numbers based on peak-to-peak noise can be 2.5 bits below the effective resolution based on rms noise as
quoted in the tables.
The output noise from the part comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices used in the
implementation of the modulator (device noise). Secondly, when the analog input signal is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is largely independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at
an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source. Consequently, lower filter
notch settings (below 100␣ Hz approximately for fCLK IN = 2.4576␣ MHz and below 40␣ Hz approximately for fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz) tend to
be device noise dominated while higher notch settings are dominated by quantization noise. Changing the filter notch and cutoff
frequency in the quantization-noise dominated region results in a more dramatic improvement in noise performance than it does in
the device-noise dominated region as shown in Table I. Furthermore, quantization noise is added after the PGA, so effective resolution is largely independent of gain for the higher filter notch frequencies. Meanwhile, device noise is added in the PGA and, therefore, effective resolution reduces at high gains for lower notch frequencies. Additionally, in the device-noise dominated region, the
output noise (in µV) is largely independent of reference voltage while in the quantization-noise dominated region, the noise is proportional to the value of the reference. It is possible to do post-filtering on the device to improve the output data rate for a given
–3␣ dB frequency and also to further reduce the output noise.
At the lower filter notch settings (below 60␣ Hz for fCLK IN = 2.4576␣ MHz and below 25␣ Hz for fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz), the no missing
codes performance of the device is at the 24-bit level. At the higher settings, more codes will be missed until at 1␣ kHz notch setting
for fCLK␣ IN = 2.4576␣ MHz (400␣ Hz for fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz), no missing codes performance is only guaranteed to the 12-bit level.

AD7714-3 OUTPUT NOISE
Table IIa shows the output rms noise and effective resolution for some typical notch and –3␣ dB frequencies for the AD7714-3 with
fCLK␣ IN = 2.4576␣ MHz while Table IIb gives the information for fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz. The numbers given are for the bipolar input
ranges with a VREF of +1.25␣ V and BUFFER = 0. These numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input voltage of 0␣ V.
The numbers in brackets in each table are for the effective resolution of the part (rounded to the nearest 0.5␣ LSB). The effective
resolution of the device is defined as the ratio of the output rms noise to the input full scale (i.e., 2 × VREF/GAIN). It should be
noted that it is not calculated using peak-to-peak output noise numbers. Peak-to-peak noise numbers can be up to 6.6 times the rms
numbers while effective resolution numbers based on peak-to-peak noise can be 2.5 bits below the effective resolution based on rms

Furthermore, quantization noise is added after the PGA, so effective resolution is largely independent of gain for the higher filter notch frequencies. Meanwhile, device noise is added in the PGA and, therefore, effective resolution suffers a little at high gains for lower notch frequencies. Additionally, in the device-noise dominated region,

BUFFERED MODE NOISE
Table III shows the typical output rms noise and effective resolution for some typical notch and –3␣ dB frequencies for the AD77145 with fCLK␣ IN = 2.4576␣ MHz and BUFFER = +5 V. Table IV gives the information for the AD7714-3 again with fCLK IN = 2.4576
MHz and BUFFER = +5␣ V. The numbers given are for the bipolar input ranges and are generated with a differential analog input
voltage of 0␣ V. For the AD7714-5, the VREF voltage is +2.5␣ V while for the AD7714 the VREF voltage is +1.25␣ V. The numbers in
brackets in each table are for the effective resolution of the part (rounded to the nearest 0.5 LSB). The effective resolution of the
device is defined as the ratio of the output rms noise to the input full scale (i.e., 2 × VREF/GAIN). It should be noted that it is not
calculated using peak-to-peak output noise numbers. Peak-to-peak noise numbers can be up to 6.6 times the rms numbers while
effective resolution numbers based on peak-to-peak noise can be 2.5 bits below the effective resolution based on rms noise as quoted
in the tables.

AD7714
ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The AD7714 contains eight on-chip registers which can be accessed via the serial port of the part. The first of these is a Communications Register which controls the channel selection, decides whether the next operation is a read or write operation and also decides
which register the next read or write operation accesses. All communications to the part must start with a write operation to the
Communications Register. After power-on or RESET, the device expects a write to its Communications Register. The data written
to this register determines whether the next operation to the part is a read or a write operation and also determines to which register
this read or write operation occurs. Therefore, write access to any of the other registers on the part starts with a write operation to the
Communications Register followed by a write to the selected register. A read operation from any other register on the part (including
the output data register) starts with a write operation to the Communications Register followed by a read operation from the selected
register. The communications register also controls channel selection and the DRDY status is also available by reading from the
Communications Register. The second register is a Mode Register which determines calibration mode and gain setting. The third
register is labelled the Filter High Register and this determines the word length, bipolar/unipolar operation and contains the upper 4
bits of the filter selection word. The fourth register is labelled the Filter Low Register and contains the lower 8 bits of the filter selection word. The fifth register is a Test Register which is accessed when testing the device. The sixth register is the Data Register from
which the output data from the part is accessed. The final registers allow access to the part’s calibration registers. The Zero Scale
Calibration Register allows access to the zero scale calibration coefficients for the selected input channel while the Full Scale Calibration Register allows access to the full scale calibration coefficients for the selected input channel. The registers are discussed in more
detail in the following sections.
Communications Register (RS2-RS0 = 0, 0, 0)
The Communications Register is an 8-bit register from which data can either be read or to which data can be written. 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. 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 AD7714 is in this
default state waiting for a write operation to the Communications Register. In situations where the interface sequence is lost, if a
write operation of sufficient duration (containing at least 32 serial clock cycles) takes place with DIN high, the AD7714 returns to
this default state. Table V outlines the bit designations for the Communications Register.

0/DRDY
For a write operation, a 0 must be written to this bit so that the write operation to the Communications Register
actually takes place. If a 1 is written to this bit, 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 this bit, the next 7 bits will be loaded to the
Communications Register. For a read operation, this bit provides the status of the DRDY flag from the part. The
status of this bit is the same as the DRDY output pin.
RS2–RS0
Register Selection Bits. RS2 is the MSB of the three selection bits. The three bits select to which one of eight on-chip
registers the next read or write operation takes place as shown in Table VI along with the register size.

CH2–CH0
Channel Select. These three bits select a channel either for conversion or for access to calibration coefficients as
outlined in Table VII. There are three pairs of calibration registers on the part. In fully differential mode, the part
has three input channels so each channel has its own pair of calibration registers. In pseudo-differential mode, the
AD7714 has five input channels with some of the input channel combinations sharing calibration registers. With
CH2, CH1 and CH0 at a logic 1, the part looks at the AIN6 input internally shorted to itself. This can be used as
a test method to evaluate the noise performance of the part with no external noise sources. In this mode, the AIN6
input should be connected to an external voltage within the allowable common-mode range for the part. The
Power-On or RESET status of these bits is 1,0,0 selecting the differential pair AIN1 and AIN2.

or bit goes high when calibration is initiated and returns low when this system offset calibration is complete and a new valid word is available in the data register. For this calibration type, the zero-scale calibration is performed at the selected gain on the input voltage provided at the analog input during this

full-scale calibration is performed at the selected gain on an internally generated VREF/Selected Gain.

Background Calibration; this activates background calibration on the channel selected by CH2, CH1
and CH0 of the Communications Register. If the background calibration mode is on, then the AD7714
provides continuous self-calibration of the shorted (zeroed) inputs. This calibration takes place as part
of the conversion sequence, extending the conversion time and reducing the word rate by a factor of six.
Its major advantage is that the user does not have to worry about recalibrating the offset of the device
when there is a change in the ambient temperature or supplies. In this mode, the zero-scale calibration
is performed at the selected gain on internally shorted (zeroed) inputs. The calibrations are interleaved
with normal conversions and the calibration registers of the device are automatically updated. Because
the background calibration does not perform full-scale calibrations, a self-calibration should be performed before placing the part in the background calibration mode.

Burnout Current. A 0 in this bit turns off the on-chip burnout currents. This is the default (Power-On

currents connect to the selected analog input pair, one to the AIN(+) input and one to the AIN(–) input.
FSYNC
Filter Synchronization. When this bit is high, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic and
the calibration control logic are held in a reset state and the analog modulator is also held in its reset
state. When this bit goes low, the modulator and filter start to process data and a valid word is available
in 3 × 1/(output update rate), i.e., the settling time of the filter. This FSYNC bit does not affect the
digital interface and does not reset the DRDY output if it is low.

Bipolar/Unipolar Operation. A 0 in this bit selects Bipolar Operation. This is the default (Power-On or RESET)

WL
Word Length. A 0 in this bit selects 16-bit word length when reading from the data register (i.e., DRDY returns
high after 16 serial clock cycles in the read operation). This is the default (Power-On or RESET) status of this
bit. A 1 in this bit selects 24-bit word length.
BST
Current Boost. A 0 in this bit reduces the current taken by the analog front end. When the part is operated with
fCLK IN = 1␣ MHz or at gains of 1 to 4 with fCLK IN = 2.4576␣ MHz, this bit should be 0 to reduce the current
drawn from AVDD, although the device will operate just as well with this bit at a 1. When the AD7714 is operated at gains of 8 to 128 with fCLK IN = 2.4576␣ MHz, this bit must be 1 to ensure correct operation of the
device. The Power-On or RESET status of this bit is 0.
ZERO
To ensure correct operation of the A Versions of the part, a 0 must be written to this bit.
CLKDIS
Master Clock Disable Bit. A Logic 1 in this bit disables the master clock from appearing at the MCLKOUT
pin. When disabled, the MCLKOUT pin is forced low. This feature allows the user the flexibility of using the
MCLKOUT as a clock source for other devices in the system or for turning off the MCLKOUT as a power
saving feature. When using an external master clock or the MCLKIN pin, the AD7714 continues to have internal clocks and will convert normally with its CLKDIS bit active. When using a crystal oscillator or ceramic
resonator across the MCLK IN or MCLKOUT pins, the AD7714 clock is stopped and no conversions take
place when the CLKDIS bit is active.
FS11–FS0
Filter Selection. The on-chip digital filter provides a Sinc3 (or (Sinx/x)3 ) filter response. The 12 bits of data
programmed into these bits determine the filter cut-off frequency, the position of the first notch of the filter and
the data rate for the part. In association with the gain selection, it also determines the output noise (and hence
the effective resolution) of the device.
The first notch of the filter occurs at a frequency determined by the relationship:
filter first notch frequency =␣ (fCLK␣ IN/128)/code
where code is the decimal equivalent of the code in bits FS0 to FS11 and is in the range 19 to 4,000. With the
nominal fCLK IN of 2.4576␣ MHz, this results in a first notch frequency range from 4.8␣ Hz to 1.01␣ kHz. To
ensure correct operation of the AD7714, the value of the code loaded to these bits must be within this range.
Failure to do this will result in unspecified operation of the device.
Changing the filter notch frequency, as well as the selected gain, impacts resolution. Tables I through IV show
the effect of the filter notch frequency and gain on the effective resolution of the AD7714. The output data rate
(or effective conversion time) for the device is equal to the frequency selected for the first notch of the filter. For
example, if the first notch of the filter is selected at 50␣ Hz then a new word is available at a 50 Hz rate or every
20␣ ms. If the first notch is at 1␣ kHz, a new word is available every 1␣ ms.
The settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input change is worst case 4 × 1/(output data rate). For
example, with the first filter notch at 50␣ Hz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input change is
80␣ ms max. This settling time can be reduced to 3 × 1/(output data rate) by synchronizing the step input
change to a reset of the digital filter. In other words, if the step input takes place with the SYNC input low or
the FSYNC bit high, the settling time will be 3 × 1/(output data rate) from when SYNC returns high or
FSYNC returns low. If a change of channel takes place, the settling time is 3 × 1/(output data rate) regardless of
the SYNC or FSYNC status as the part issues an internal SYNC command when requested to change channels.
The –3 dB frequency is determined by the programmed first notch frequency according to the relationship:
filter –3 dB frequency = 0.262 × filter first notch frequency.

AD7714
Test Register (RS2–RS0 = 1, 0, 0)
The part contains a Test Register which is used in testing the device. The user is advised not to change the status of any of the bits in this
register from the default (Power-On or RESET) status of all 0s as the part will be placed in one of its test modes and will not operate correctly. If the part enters one of its test modes, exercising RESET will exit the part from the mode. An alternative scheme for getting the
part out of one of its test modes, is to reset the interface by writing 32 successive 1s to the part and then write all 0s to the Test Register.
Data Register (RS2–RS0 = 1, 0, 1)
The Data Register on the part is a read-only register which contains the most up-to-date conversion result from the AD7714. The
register can be programmed to be either 16-bits or 24-bits wide, determined by the status of the WL bit of the Mode Register. If the
Communications Register data sets up the part for a write operation to this register, a write operation must actually take place in
order to return the part to where it is expecting a write operation to the Communications Register (the default state of the interface).
However, the 16 or 24 bits of data written to the part will be ignored by the AD7714.
Zero-Scale Calibration Register (RS2–RS0 = 1, 1, 0); Power On/Reset Status: 1F4000␣ Hex
The AD7714 contains three zero-scale calibration registers, labelled Zero-Scale Calibration Register 0 to Zero Scale Calibration
Register␣ 2. The three registers are totally independent of each other such that in fully differential mode there is a zero-scale register
for each of the input channels. Each of these registers is a 24-bit read/write register and, when writing to the registers, 24 bits must be
written; otherwise no data will be transferred to the register. The register is used in conjunction with the associated full-scale calibration register to form a register pair. These register pairs are associated with input channel pairs as outlined in Table VII.
While the part is set up to allow access to these registers over the digital interface, the part itself no longer has access to the register
coefficients to correctly scale the output data. As a result, there is a possibility that after accessing the calibration registers (either read
or write operation) the first output data read from the part may contain incorrect data. In addition, a read or write operation to the
calibration register should not be attempted while a calibration is in progress. These eventualities can be avoided by taking either the
SYNC input low or the FSYNC bit of the Mode Register high before the calibration register operation and taking them either high or
low respectively after the operation is complete.
Full-Scale Calibration Register (RS2–RS0 = 1, 1, 1); Power On/Reset Status: 5761AB␣ Hex
The AD7714 contains three full-scale calibration registers, labelled Full-Scale Calibration Register 0 to Full-Scale Calibration Register 2. The three registers are totally independent of each other such that in fully differential mode there is a full-scale register for each
of the input channels. Each of these registers is a 24-bit read/write register and, when writing to the registers, 24 bits must be written,
otherwise no data will be transferred to the register. The register is used in conjunction with the associated zero-scale calibration
register to form a register pair. These register pairs are associated with input channel pairs as outlined in Table␣ VII.

CALIBRATION OPERATIONS
The AD7714 contains a number of calibration options as outlined previously. Table XI summarizes the calibration types, the operations involved and the duration of the operations. There are two methods of determining the end of calibration. The first is to monitor when DRDY returns low at the end of the sequence. DRDY not only indicates when the sequence is complete but also that the
part has a valid new sample in its data register. This valid new sample is the result of a normal conversion which follows the calibration sequence. The second method of determining when calibration is complete is to monitor the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits of the
Mode Register. When these bits return to 0, 0, 0 following a calibration command, it indicates that the calibration sequence is complete. This method does not give any indication of there being a valid new result in the data register. However, it gives an earlier
indication that calibration is complete than DRDY. The time to when the Mode Bits (MD2, MD1 and MD0) return to 0, 0, 0
represents the duration of the calibration. The sequence to when DRDY goes low also includes a normal conversion and a pipeline
delay, tP (2000 × tCLK IN), to correctly scale the results of this first conversion. The time for both methods is given in the table.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
modulator converts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse
train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. The
programmable gain function on the analog input is also
incorporated in this sigma-delta modulator with the input sampling frequency of the modulator being modified to give the
higher gains. A sinc3 digital low-pass filter processes the output
of the sigma-delta modulator and updates the output register at
a rate determined by the first notch frequency of this filter. The
output data can be read from the serial port randomly or periodically at any rate up to the output register update rate. The
first notch of this digital filter, its –3␣ dB frequency and its output rate can be programmed via the filter high and filter low
registers. With a master clock frequency of 2.4576 MHz, the
programmable range for this first notch frequency and output
rate is from 4.8␣ Hz to 1.01 kHz giving a programmable range
for the –3␣ dB frequency of 1.26 Hz to 265␣ Hz.
The AD7714 is a sigma-delta A/D converter with on-chip digital filtering, intended for the measurement of wide dynamic
range, low frequency signals such as those in weigh-scale, pressure transducer, industrial control or process control applications. It contains a sigma-delta (or charge-balancing) ADC, a
calibration microcontroller with on-chip static RAM, a clock
oscillator, a digital filter and a bidirectional serial communications port. The part consumes only 500 µA of power supply
current and features a standby mode which requires only 10 µA,
making it ideal for battery-powered or loop-powered instruments. The part comes in two versions, the AD7714-5, which is
specified for operation from a nominal +5␣ V analog supply
(AVDD ), and the AD7714-3, which is specified for operation
from a nominal +3.3␣ V analog supply. Both versions can be
operated with a digital supply (DVDD ) voltage of either +3.3␣ V
or +5␣ V. AD7714Y grade parts operate with a nominal AVDD
of 3 V or 5 V and can be operated with a digital supply voltage
of either 3 V or 5 V.
The basic connection diagram for the part is shown in Figure 2.
This shows both the AVDD and DVDD pins of the AD7714 being
driven from the analog +3␣ V or +5␣ V supply. Some applications
will have AVDD and DVDD driven from separate supplies. In the
connection diagram shown, the AD7714’s analog inputs are
configured as three fully differential inputs. The part is set up
for unbuffered mode on the these analog inputs. An AD780,
precision +2.5 V reference, provides the reference source for the
part. On the digital side, the part is configured for three-wire
operation with CS tied to DGND. A quartz crystal or ceramic
resonator provides the master clock source for the part. It may
be necessary to connect capacitors on the crystal or resonator to
ensure that it does not oscillate at overtones of its fundamental
operating frequency. The values of capacitors will vary depending on the manufacturer’s specifications.
The part contains three programmable-gain fully differential
analog input channels that can be reconfigured as five pseudodifferential inputs. The gain range on all channels is from 1 to
128, allowing the part to accept unipolar signals of between
0 mV to +20␣ mV and 0 V to +2.5␣ V. In bipolar mode, the part
handles genuine bipolar signals of ± 20 mV and quasi-bipolar
signals up to ± 2.5 V when the reference input voltage equals
+2.5␣ V. With a reference voltage of +1.25␣ V, the input ranges
are from 0 mV to +10 mV to 0 V to +1.25␣ V in unipolar mode,
while in bipolar mode, the part handles genuine bipolar signals
of ±10 mV and quasi-bipolar signals up to ± 1.25 V.
The part employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize
up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The sigma-delta

ANALOG INPUT
Analog Input Ranges
The AD7714 contains six analog input pins (labelled AIN1 to
AIN6) which can be configured as either three fully differential
input channels or five pseudo-differential input channels. Bits
CH0, CH1 and CH2 of the Communications Register configure
the analog input arrangement and the channel selection is as
outlined previously in Table VII. The input pairs (either differential or pseudo-differential) provide programmable-gain, input
channels which can handle either unipolar or bipolar input
signals. It should be noted that the bipolar input signals are
referenced to the respective AIN(–) input of the input pair.
In unbuffered mode, the common-mode range of these inputs is
from AGND to AVDD provided that the absolute value of the analog
input voltage lies between AGND␣ –␣ 30␣ mV and AV DD + 30␣ mV.
This means that in unbuffered mode the part can handle both
unipolar and bipolar input ranges for all gains. In buffered
mode, the analog inputs can handle much larger source impedances, but the absolute input voltage range is restricted to between AGND␣ + 50␣ mV to AVDD – 1.5␣ V which also places
restrictions on the common-mode range. This means that in
buffered mode there are some restrictions on the allowable gains
for bipolar input ranges. Care must be taken in setting up the
common-mode voltage and input voltage range so that the
above limits are not exceeded, otherwise there will be a degradation in linearity performance.
In unbuffered mode, the analog inputs look directly into the
7␣ pF input sampling capacitor, CSAMP . The dc input leakage
current in this unbuffered mode is 1␣ nA maximum. As a result,
the analog inputs see a dynamic load which is switched at the
input sample rate (see Figure 3). This sample rate depends on
master clock frequency and selected gain. CSAMP is charged to
AIN(+) and discharged to AIN(–) every input sample cycle.
The effective on-resistance of the switch, RSW, is typically 7␣ kΩ.

CSAMP must be charged through RSW and through any external
source impedances every input sample cycle. Therefore, in unbuffered mode, source impedances mean a longer charge time for
CSAMP and this may result in gain errors on the part. Table XII
shows the allowable external resistance/capacitance values, for
unbuffered mode, such that no gain error to the 16-bit level is
introduced on the part. Table XIII shows the allowable external
resistance/capacitance values, once again for unbuffered mode,
such that no gain error to the 20-bit level is introduced.

In buffered mode, the analog inputs look into the high impedance
inputs stage of the on-chip buffer amplifier. CSAMP is charged via
this buffer amplifier such that source impedances do not affect
the charging of CSAMP. This buffer amplifier has an offset leakage current of 1␣ nA. In this buffered mode, large source impedances result in a dc offset voltage developed across the source
impedance but not in a gain error.
Input Sample Rate
The modulator sample frequency for the AD7714 remains at
fCLK␣ IN/128 (19.2␣ kHz @ fCLK IN = 2.4576␣ MHz) regardless of
the selected gain. However, gains greater than 1 are achieved
by a combination of multiple input samples per modulator cycle
and a scaling of the ratio of reference capacitor to input capacitor. As a result of the multiple sampling, the input sample rate
of the device varies with the selected gain (see Table XIV). In
buffered mode, the input is buffered before the input sampling
capacitor. In unbuffered mode, where the analog input looks
directly into the sampling capacitor, the effective input impedance is 1/CSAMP × fS where CSAMP is the input sampling capacitance and fS is the input sample rate.

Burnout Current
The AD7714 contains two 1␣ µA currents, one source current
from AVDD to AIN(+) and one sink from AIN(–) to AGND. The
currents are either both on or off depending on the BO bit of the
Mode Register. These currents can be used in checking that a
transducer has not burned out nor gone open-circuit before
attempting to take measurements on that channel. If the currents are turned on, allowed flow in the transducer, a measurement of the input voltage on the analog input taken and the
voltage measured is full scale, it indicates that the transducer has
gone open-circuit; if the voltage measured is zero, it indicates
that the transducer has gone short-circuit. For normal operation, these burnout currents are turned off by writing a 0 to the
BO bit. For the source current to work correctly, the applied
voltage on AIN(+) should not go within 500␣ mV of AVDD . For
the sink current to work correctly, the applied voltage on the
AIN(–) input should not go within 500␣ mV of AGND.
Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs
The analog inputs on the AD7714 can accept either unipolar or
bipolar input voltage ranges. Bipolar input ranges do not imply
that the part can handle negative voltages on its analog inputs,
since the analog input cannot go more negative than –30␣ mV to
ensure correct operation of the part. The input channels are
either fully differential or pseudo-differential (all other channels
referenced to AIN6). In either case, the input channels are
arranged in pairs with an AIN(+) and AIN(–). As a result, the
voltage to which the unipolar and bipolar signals on the AIN(+)
input are referenced is the voltage on the respective AIN(–)
input. For example, if AIN(–) is +2.5␣ V and the AD7714 is
configured for unipolar operation with a gain of 2 and a VREF of
+2.5␣ V, the input voltage range on the AIN(+) input is +2.5 V to
+3.75␣ V. If AIN(–) is +2.5␣ V and the AD7714 is configured for
bipolar mode with a gain of 2 and a VREF of +2.5␣ V, the analog
input range on the AIN(+) input is +1.25␣ V to +3.75 V (i.e.,
2.5␣ V ± 1.25␣ V). If AIN(–) is at AGND, the part cannot be configured for bipolar ranges in excess of ± 30␣ mV.
Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the B/U
bit of the Filter High Register. This programs the selected channel for either unipolar or bipolar operation. Programming the
channel for either unipolar or bipolar operation does not change
any of the input signal conditioning; it simply changes the data
output coding and the points on the transfer function where
calibrations occur.
REFERENCE INPUT
for the AD7714-3. The part is functional with VREF voltages
down to 1 V but with degraded performance as the output noise
will, in terms of LSB size, be larger. REF␣ IN(+) must always be
greater than REF␣ IN(–) for correct operation of the AD7714.
Both reference inputs provide a high impedance, dynamic load
similar to the analog inputs in unbuffered mode. The maximum dc input leakage current is ± 1 nA over temperature and
source resistance may result in gain errors on the part. In this
case, the sampling switch resistance is 5␣ kΩ typ and the reference capacitor (CREF) varies with gain. The sample rate on the
reference inputs is fCLK IN/64 and does not vary with gain. For
gains of 1 to 8, CREF is 8 pF; for a gain of 16, it is 5.5 pF, for a
gain of 32, it is 4.25 pF, for a gain of 64, it is 3.625 pF and for a
gain of 128, it is 3.3125 pF.
The output noise performance outlined in Tables I through IV
is for an analog input of 0 V and is unaffected by noise on the
reference. To obtain the same noise performance as shown in
the noise tables over the full input range requires a low noise
reference source for the AD7714. If the reference noise in the
bandwidth of interest is excessive, it will degrade the performance of the AD7714. In applications where the excitation
voltage for the bridge transducer on the analog input also derives the reference voltage for the part, the effect of the noise in
the excitation voltage will be removed as the application is
ratiometric. Recommended reference voltage sources for the
AD7714-5 and AD7714Y grade with AVDD = 5 V include the
AD780, REF43 and REF192 while the recommended reference
sources for the AD7714-3 and AD7714Y with AVDD = 3 V
include the AD589 and AD1580. It is generally recommended
to decouple the output of these references to further reduce the
noise level.
DIGITAL FILTERING
The AD7714 contains an on-chip low-pass digital filter which
processes the output of the part’s sigma-delta modulator. Therefore, the part not only provides the analog-to-digital conversion
function but it also provides a level of filtering. There are a
number of system differences when the filtering function is
provided in the digital domain rather than the analog domain
and the user should be aware of these.
First, since digital filtering occurs after the A-to-D conversion
process, it can remove noise injected during the conversion
process. Analog filtering cannot do this. Also, the digital filter
can be made programmable far more readily than an analog
filter. Depending on the digital filter design, this gives the user
the capability of programming cutoff frequency and output
update rate.
On the other hand, analog filtering can remove noise superimposed on the analog signal before it reaches the ADC. Digital
filtering cannot do this and noise peaks riding on signals near
full scale have the potential to saturate the analog modulator
and digital filter, even though the average value of the signal is
within limits. To alleviate this problem, the AD7714 has overrange headroom built into the sigma-delta modulator and digital
filter which allows overrange excursions of 5% above the analog
input range. If noise signals are larger than this, consideration
should be given to analog input filtering, or to reducing the
input channel voltage so that its full scale is half that of the
analog input channel full scale. This will provide an overrange
capability greater than 100% at the expense of reducing the
dynamic range by 1 bit (50%).
The AD7714’s reference inputs, REF␣ IN(+) and REF␣ IN(–),
provide a differential reference input capability. The commonmode range for these differential inputs is from AGND to AVDD.
The nominal reference voltage, VREF (REF␣ IN(+)␣ –REF␣ IN(–)),
for specified operation is +2.5␣ V for the AD7714-5 and +1.25␣ V

In addition, the digital filter does not provide any rejection at
integer multiples of the digital filter’s sample frequency. However, the input sampling on the part provides attenuation at
multiples of the digital filter’s sampling frequency so that the
unattenuated bands actually occur around multiples of the input
sampling frequency fS (as defined in Table XIV). Thus, the
unattenuated bands occur at n × fS (where n = 1, 2, 3. . .). At
these frequencies, there are frequency bands, ± f3 dB wide (f3 dB is
the cutoff frequency of the digital filter) at either side where
noise passes unattenuated to the output.

Since the AD7714 contains this on-chip, low-pass filtering, a
settling time is associated with step function inputs and data on
the output will be invalid after a step change until the settling
time has elapsed. The settling time depends upon the output
rate chosen for the filter. The settling time of the filter to a fullscale step input can be up to four times the output data period.
For a synchronized step input (using the SYNC or FSYNC
functions) the settling time is three times the output data period. When changing channels on the part, the change from one
channel to the other is synchronized so the output settling time
is also three times the output data period. Thus, in switching
between channels, the output data register is not updated until
the settling time of the filter has elapsed.

The on-chip modulator provides samples at a 19.2␣ kHz output
rate with fCLK IN at 2.4576␣ MHz. The on-chip digital filter
decimates these samples to provide data at an output rate that
corresponds to the programmed output rate of the filter. Since
the output data rate is higher than the Nyquist criterion, the
output rate for a given bandwidth will satisfy most application
requirements. However, there may be some applications that
require a higher data rate for a given bandwidth and noise performance. Applications that need this higher data rate will
require some post-filtering following the part’s digital filter.

Figure 4. Frequency Response of AD7714 Filter
The response of the filter is similar to that of an averaging filter
but with a sharper roll-off. The output rate for the digital filter
corresponds with the positioning of the first notch of the filter’s
frequency response. Thus, for the plot of Figure 4 where the
output rate is 10␣ Hz, the first notch of the filter is at 10␣ Hz. The
notches of this (sinx/x)3 filter are repeated at multiples of the
first notch. The filter provides attenuation of better than 100 dB
at these notches. For the example given, if the first notch is at
10␣ Hz, there will be notches (and hence >100␣ dB rejection) at
both 50␣ Hz and 60␣ Hz.
For example, if the required bandwidth is 7.86␣ Hz but the
required update rate is 100␣ Hz, the data can be taken from the
AD7714 at the 100␣ Hz rate giving a –3 dB bandwidth of
26.2␣ Hz. Post-filtering can be applied to this to reduce the
bandwidth and output noise, to the 7.86␣ Hz bandwidth level,
while maintaining an output rate of 100␣ Hz.
Post-filtering can also be used to reduce the output noise from
the device for bandwidths below 1.26␣ Hz. At a gain of 128 and
a bandwidth of 1.26␣ Hz, the output rms noise is 140␣ nV. This
is essentially device noise or white noise and since the input is
chopped, the noise has a primarily flat frequency response. By
reducing the bandwidth below 1.26␣ Hz, the noise in the resultant passband can be reduced. A reduction in bandwidth by a
factor of 2 results in a reduction of approximately 1.25 in the
output rms noise. This additional filtering will result in a
longer settling time.

ANALOG FILTERING
The digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer multiples of the input sampling frequency, as outlined earlier. However, due to the AD7714’s high oversampling ratio, these bands
occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum and most broadband noise is filtered. This means that the analog filtering requirements in front of the AD7714 are considerably reduced
versus a conventional converter with no on-chip filtering. In
addition, because the part’s common-mode rejection performance of 100␣ dB extends out to several kHz, common-mode
noise in this frequency range will be substantially reduced.
Depending on the application, however, it may be necessary to
provide attenuation prior to the AD7714 in order to eliminate
unwanted frequencies from these bands which the digital filter
will pass. It may also be necessary in some applications to provide analog filtering in front of the AD7714 to ensure that differential noise signals outside the band of interest do not
saturate the analog modulator.
If passive components are placed in front of the AD7714, in
unbuffered mode, care must be taken to ensure that the source
impedance is low enough so as not to introduce gain errors in
the system. This significantly limits the amount of passive antialiasing filtering which can be provided in front of the AD7714
when it is used in unbuffered mode. However, when the part is
used in buffered mode, large source impedances will simply
result in a small dc offset error (a 10␣ kΩ source resistance will
cause an offset error of less than 10␣ µV). Therefore, if the system requires any significant source impedances to provide passive analog filtering in front of the AD7714, it is recommended
that the part be operated in buffered mode.
value which, when normalized, is subtracted from all conversion
results. The full-scale calibration register contains a value
which, when normalized, is multiplied by all conversion results.
The offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the result
prior to the multiplication by the full-scale coefficient. This
means that the full-scale coefficient is effectively a span or gain
coefficient.
The AD7714 offers self-calibration, system calibration and
background calibration facilities. For full calibration to occur
on the selected channel, the on-chip microcontroller must record
the modulator output for two different input conditions. These
are “zero-scale” and “full-scale” points. These points are derived by performing a conversion on the different input voltages
provided to the input of the modulator during calibration. As a
result, the accuracy of the calibration can only be as good as the
noise level which the part provides in normal mode. The result
of the “zero-scale” calibration conversion is stored in the Zero
Scale Calibration Register for the appropriate channel. The
result of the “full-scale” calibration conversion is stored in the
Full-Scale Calibration Register for the appropriate channel. With
these readings, the microcontroller can calculate the offset and
the gain slope for the input to output transfer function of the
converter. Internally, the part works with 33 bits of resolution
to determine its conversion result of either 16 bits or 24 bits.
Self-Calibration
CALIBRATION
The AD7714 provides a number of calibration options which
can be programmed via the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits of the
Mode Register. The different calibration options are outlined
in the Mode Register and Calibration Sequences sections. A
calibration cycle may be initiated at any time by writing to these
bits of the Mode Register. Calibration on the AD7714 removes
offset and gain errors from the device. A calibration routine
should be initiated on the device whenever there is a change in
the ambient operating temperature or supply voltage. It should
also be initiated if there is a change in the selected gain, filter
notch or bipolar/unipolar input range.
A self-calibration is initiated on the AD7714 by writing the
appropriate values (0, 0, 1) to the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits of
the Mode Register. In the self-calibration mode with a unipolar
input range, the zero-scale point used in determining the calibration coefficients is with the inputs of the differential pair
internally shorted on the part (i.e., AIN(+) = AIN(–) = Internal
Bias Voltage). The PGA is set for the selected gain (as per G2,
G1, G0 bits in the Mode Register) for this zero-scale calibration
conversion. The full-scale calibration conversion is performed at
the selected gain on an internally-generated voltage of VREF/
Selected Gain.
The AD7714 gives the user access to the on-chip calibration
registers allowing the microprocessor to read the device’s calibration coefficients and also to write its own calibration coefficients to the part from prestored values in E2PROM. This gives
the microprocessor much greater control over the AD7714’s
calibration procedure. It also means that the user can verify
that the device has performed its calibration correctly by comparing the coefficients after calibration with prestored values in
E2PROM. The values in these calibration registers are 24-bit
wide. In addition, the span and offset for the part can be
adjusted by the user.
The duration time of the calibration is 6 × 1/Output Rate. This
is made up of 3 × 1/Output Rate for the zero-scale calibration
and 3 × 1/Output Rate for the full-scale calibration. At this time
the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits in the Mode Register return to
0, 0, 0. This gives the earliest indication that the calibration
sequence is complete. The DRDY line goes high when calibration is initiated and does not return low until there is a valid
new word in the data register. The duration time from the calibration command being issued to DRDY going low is 9 × 1/
Output Rate. This is made up of 3 × 1/Output Rate for the zeroscale calibration, 3 × 1/Output Rate for the full-scale calibration
and 3 × 1/Output Rate for a conversion on the analog input. If
DRDY is low before (or goes low during) the calibration command write to the Mode Register, it may take up to one modulator cycle (MCLK␣ IN/128) before DRDY goes high to indicate
that calibration is in progress. Therefore, DRDY should be
ignored for up to one modulator cycle after the last bit of the
calibration command is written to the Mode Register.
There is a significant variation in the value of these coefficients
across the different output update rates, gains and unipolar/
bipolar operation. Internally in the AD7714, these coefficients
are normalized before being used to scale the words coming out
of the digital filter. The offset calibration register contains a
For bipolar input ranges in the self-calibrating mode, the sequence is very similar to that just outlined. In this case, the two
points are exactly the same as above but since the part is configured for bipolar operation, the output code for zero differential
input is 800000 Hex in 24-bit mode.

AD7714
The part also offers ZS Self-Calibration and FS Self-Calibration
options. In these cases, the part performs just a zero-scale or
full-scale calibration respectively and not a full calibration of the
part. A full-scale calibration should not be carried out unless
the part contains valid zero-scale coefficients. These calibrations
are initiated on the AD7714 by writing the appropriate values
(1, 1, 0 for ZS Self-Calibration and 1, 1, 1 for FS Self Calibration) to the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits of the Mode Register.
The zero-scale or full-scale calibration is exactly the same as
that described for the full self-calibration. In these cases, the
duration of the calibration is 3 × 1/Output Rate. At this time the
MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits in the Mode Register return to
0, 0, 0. This gives the earliest indication that the calibration
sequence is complete. The DRDY line goes high when calibration is initiated and does not return low until there is a valid
new word in the data register. The time from the calibration
command being issued to DRDY going low is 6 × 1/Output
Rate. This is made up of 3 × 1/Output Rate for the zero-scale or
full-scale calibration and 3 × 1/Output Rate for a conversion on
the analog input. If DRDY is low before (or goes low during)
the calibration command write to the Mode Register, it may
take up to one modulator cycle (MCLK␣ IN/128) before DRDY
goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress. Therefore,
DRDY should be ignored for up to one modulator cycle after
the last bit of the calibration command is written to the Mode
Register.
The fact that the self-calibration can be performed as a two step
calibration offers another feature. After the sequence of a full
self calibration has been completed, additional offset or gain
calibrations can be performed by themselves to adjust the part’s
zero point or gain. Calibrating one of the parameters, either
offset or gain, will not affect the other parameter.
System Calibration
System calibration allows the AD7714 to compensate for system
gain and offset errors as well as its own internal errors. System
calibration performs the same slope factor calculations as selfcalibration but uses voltage values presented by the system to
the AIN inputs for the zero- and full-scale points. Full System
calibration requires a two-step process, a ZS System Calibration
followed by a FS System Calibration.
For a full system calibration, the zero-scale point must be presented to the converter first. It must be applied to the converter
before the calibration step is initiated and remain stable until the
step is complete. Once the system zero scale has been set up at
the analog input, a ZS System Calibration is then initiated by
writing the appropriate values (0, 1, 0) to the MD2, MD1 and
MD0 bits of the Mode Register. The zero-scale system calibration is performed at the selected gain. The duration of the calibration is 3 × 1/Output Rate. At this time, the MD2, MD1 and
MD0 bits in the Mode Register return to 0, 0, 0. This gives the
earliest indication that the calibration sequence is complete. The
DRDY line goes high when calibration is initiated and does not
return low until there is a valid new word in the data register.
The time from the calibration command being issued to DRDY
going low is 4 × 1/Output Rate. This is made up of 3 × 1/Output
Rate for the zero-scale system calibration and 1/Output Rate for
a conversion on the analog input. This conversion on the analog
input is on the same voltage as the zero-scale system calibration
and, therefore, the resultant word in the data register from this
conversion should be a zero-scale reading. If DRDY is low
before (or goes low during) the calibration command write to
the Mode Register, it may take up to one modulator cycle
(MCLK␣ IN/128) before DRDY goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress. Therefore, DRDY should be ignored for
up to one modulator cycle after the last bit of the calibration
command is written to the Mode Register.
After the zero-scale point is calibrated, the full-scale point is
applied to AIN and the second step of the calibration process is
initiated by again writing the appropriate values (0, 1, 1) to
MD2, MD1 and MD0. Again the full-scale voltage must be set
up before the calibration is initiated, and it must remain stable
throughout the calibration step. The full-scale system calibration is performed at the selected gain. The duration of the calibration is 3 × 1/Output Rate. At this time, the MD2, MD1 and
MD0 bits in the Mode Register return to 0, 0, 0. This gives the
earliest indication that the calibration sequence is complete. The
DRDY line goes high when calibration is initiated and does not
return low until there is a valid new word in the data register.
The time from the calibration command being issued to DRDY
going low is 4 × 1/Output Rate. This is made up of 3 × 1/Output Rate for the full-scale system calibration and 1/Output Rate
for a conversion on the analog input. This conversion on the
analog input is on the same voltage as the full-scale system
calibration and, therefore, the resultant word in the data register
from this conversion should be a full-scale reading. If DRDY is
low before (or goes low during) the calibration command write
to the Mode Register, it may take up to one modulator cycle
(MCLK␣ IN/128) before DRDY goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress. Therefore, DRDY should be ignored for
up to one modulator cycle after the last bit of the calibration
command is written to the Mode Register.
In the unipolar mode, the system calibration is performed
between the two endpoints of the transfer function; in the bipolar mode, it is performed between midscale (zero differential
voltage) and positive full scale.
The fact that the system calibration is a two step calibration
offers another feature. After the sequence of a full system calibration has been completed, additional offset or gain calibrations can be performed by themselves to adjust the system zero
reference point or the system gain. Calibrating one of the
parameters, either system offset or system gain, will not affect
the other parameter. A full-scale calibration should not be carried out unless the part contains valid zero-scale coefficients.
System calibration can also be used to remove any errors from
source impedances on the analog input when the part is used in
unbuffered mode. A simple R, C antialiasing filter on the front
end may introduce a gain error on the analog input voltage but
the system calibration can be used to remove this error.

AD7714
System-Offset Calibration
System-offset calibration is a variation of both the system calibration and self-calibration. In this case, the zero-scale point is
determined in exactly the same way as a ZS System Calibration.
The system zero-scale point is presented to the AIN inputs of
the converter. This must be applied to the converter before
the calibration step is initiated and remain stable until the step
is complete. Once the system zero scale has been set up, a
System-Offset Calibration is then initiated by writing the appropriate values (1, 0, 0) to the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits of the
Mode Register. The zero-scale system calibration is performed
at the selected gain.
The full-scale calibration is performed in exactly the same way
as an FS Self Calibration. The full-scale calibration conversion
is performed at the selected gain on an internally generated
voltage of VREF/Selected Gain. This is a one step calibration
sequence and the time for calibration is 6 × 1/Output Rate. At
this time, the MD2, MD1 and MD0 bits in the Mode Register
return to 0, 0, 0. This gives the earliest indication that the calibration sequence is complete. The DRDY line goes high when
calibration is initiated and does not return low until there is a
valid new word in the data register. The duration time from the
calibration command being issued to DRDY going low is 9 × 1/
Output Rate. This is made up of 3 × 1/Output Rate for the zeroscale system calibration, 3 × 1/Output Rate for the full-scale
self-calibration and 3 × 1/Output Rate for a conversion on the
analog input. This conversion on the analog input is on the
same voltage as the zero-scale system calibration and, therefore,
the resultant word in the data register from this conversion
should be a zero-scale reading. If DRDY is low before (or goes
low during) the calibration command write to the Mode Register, it may take up to one modulator cycle (MCLK␣ IN/128)
before DRDY goes high to indicate that calibration is in
progress. Therefore, DRDY should be ignored for up to one
modulator cycle after the last bit of the calibration command is
written to the Mode Register.
In the unipolar mode, the system-offset calibration is performed
between the two endpoints of the transfer function; in the bipolar
mode, it is performed between midscale and positive full scale.
Background Calibration
The AD7714 also offers a background calibration mode where
the part interleaves its calibration procedure with its normal
conversion sequence. In the background calibration mode, the
part provides continuous zero-scale self-calibrations; it does not
provide any full-scale calibrations. The zero-scale point used in
determining the calibration coefficients in this mode is exactly
the same as for a ZS Self-Calibration. The background calibration mode is invoked by writing 1, 0, 1 to the MD2, MD1,
MD0 bits of the Mode Register. When invoked, the background calibration mode performs a zero-scale self calibration
after every output update and this reduces the output data rate
of the AD7714 by a factor of six. Its advantage is that the part
is continually performing offset calibrations and automatically
updating its zero-scale calibration coefficients. As a result, the
effects of temperature drift, supply sensitivity and time drift on
zero-scale errors are automatically removed. When the background calibration mode is turned on, the part will remain in
this mode until bits MD2, MD1 and MD0 of the Mode Register are changed.
REV. C
Because the background calibration does not perform full-scale
calibrations, a self-calibration should be performed before placing the part in background calibration mode. Removal of the
offset drift in this mode leaves gain drift as the only source of
error not removed from the part. The typical gain drift of the
AD7714 with temperature is 0.2␣ ppm/°C. The SYNC input or
FSYNC bit should not be exercised when the part is in background calibration mode.
Span and Offset Limits
Whenever a system calibration mode is used, there are limits on
the amount of offset and span which can be accommodated.
The overriding requirement in determining the amount of offset
and gain which can be accommodated by the part is the requirement that the positive full-scale calibration limit is ≤ 1.05 ×
VREF/GAIN. This allows the input range to go 5% above the
nominal range. The built-in headroom in the AD7714’s analog
modulator ensures that the part will still operate correctly with a
positive full-scale voltage which is 5% beyond the nominal.
The range of input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes
has a minimum value of 0.8 × VREF/GAIN and a maximum
value of 2.1 × VREF/GAIN. However, the span (which is the
difference between the bottom of the AD7714’s input range and
the top of its input range) has to take into account the limitation
on the positive full-scale voltage. The amount of offset which
can be accommodated depends on whether the unipolar or
bipolar mode is being used. Once again, the offset has to take
into account the limitation on the positive full-scale voltage. In
unipolar mode, there is considerable flexibility in handling negative (with respect to AIN(–)) offsets. In both unipolar and bipolar modes, the range of positive offsets which can be handled by
the part depends on the selected span. Therefore, in determining the limits for system zero-scale and full-scale calibrations,
the user has to ensure that the offset range plus the span range
does exceed 1.05 × VREF/GAIN. This is best illustrated by
looking at a few examples.
If the part is used in unipolar mode with a required span of
0.8 × VREF/GAIN, the offset range the system calibration can
handle is from –1.05 × VREF/GAIN to +0.25 × VREF/GAIN. If
the part is used in unipolar mode with a required span of VREF/
GAIN, the offset range the system calibration can handle is
from –1.05 × VREF/GAIN to +0.05 × VREF/GAIN. Similarly, if
the part is used in unipolar mode and required to remove an
offset of 0.2 × VREF/GAIN, the span range the system calibration can handle is 0.85 × VREF/GAIN.
If the part is used in bipolar mode with a required span of
± 0.4 × VREF/GAIN, then the offset range which the system calibration can handle is from –0.65 × VREF /GAIN to +0.65 ×
VREF/GAIN. If the part is used in bipolar mode with a required
span of ± VREF/GAIN, the offset range the system calibration can
handle is from –0.05 × VREF/GAIN to +0.05 × VREF/GAIN.
Similarly, if the part is used in bipolar mode and required to
remove an offset of ± 0.2 × VREF/GAIN, the span range the system calibration can handle is ± 0.85 × VREF/GAIN.

AD7714
Power-Up and Calibration
On power-up, the AD7714 performs an internal reset which sets
the contents of the internal registers to a known state. There
are default values loaded to all registers after a power-on or
reset. The default values contain nominal calibration coefficients
for the calibration registers. However, to ensure correct calibration for the device a calibration routine should be performed
after power-up.
The power dissipation and temperature drift of the AD7714 are
low and no warm-up time is required before the initial calibration is performed. However, if an external reference is being
used, this reference must have stabilized before calibration is
initiated. Similarly, if the clock source for the part is generated
from a crystal or resonator across the MCLK pins, the start-up
time for the oscillator circuit should elapse before a calibration
is initiated on the part (see below).
USING THE AD7714
Clocking and Oscillator Circuit
The AD7714 requires a master clock input, which may be an
external CMOS compatible clock signal applied to the MCLK␣ IN
pin with the MCLK␣ OUT pin left unconnected. Alternatively, a
crystal or ceramic resonator of the correct frequency can be
connected between MCLK␣ IN and MCLK␣ OUT in which case
the clock circuit will function as an oscillator, providing the
clock source for the part. The input sampling frequency, the
modulator sampling frequency, the –3␣ dB frequency, output
update rate and calibration time are all directly related to the
master clock frequency, fCLK␣ IN. Reducing the master clock
frequency by a factor of 2 will halve the above frequencies and
update rate and double the calibration time. The current drawn
from the DVDD power supply is also directly related to fCLK␣ IN.
Reducing fCLK␣ IN by a factor of 2 will halve the DVDD current
but will not affect the current drawn from the AVDD power supply.
Using the part with a crystal or ceramic resonator between the
MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins generally causes more current to be drawn from DVDD than when the part is clocked from
a driven clock signal at the MCLK IN pin. This is because the
on-chip oscillator circuit is active in the case of the crystal or
ceramic resonator. Therefore, the lowest possible current on
the AD7714 is achieved with an externally applied clock at the
MCLK IN pin with MCLK OUT unconnected and unloaded.
When operating with a clock frequency of 2.4576␣ MHz, there is
no appreciable difference in the DVDD current between an
externally applied clock and a crystal resonator when operating
with a DVDD of +3␣ V. With DVDD = +5␣ V and fCLK IN =
2.4576␣ MHz, the typical DVDD current increases by 50␣ µA for a
crystal/resonator supplied clock versus an externally applied
clock. The ESR values for crystals and resonators at this frequency tend to be low and as a result there tends to be little
difference between different crystal and resonator types.
When operating with a clock frequency of 1␣ MHz, the ESR
value for different crystal types varies significantly. As a result,
the DVDD current drain varies across crystal types. When using
a crystal with an ESR of 700␣ Ω or when using a ceramic resonator, the increase in the typical DVDD current over an externallyapplied clock is 50␣ µA with DVDD = +3␣ V and 175␣ µA with
DVDD = +5␣ V. When using a crystal with an ESR of 3␣ kΩ, the
increase in the typical DVDD current over an externally applied
clock is again 50␣ µA with DVDD = +3␣ V but 300␣ µA with
DVDD = +5␣ V.
The on-chip oscillator circuit also has a start-up time associated
with it before it is oscillating at its correct frequency and correct
voltage levels. The typical start up time for the circuit is 10␣ ms
with a DVDD of +5␣ V and 15␣ ms with a DVDD of +3␣ V. At 3␣ V
supplies, depending on the loading capacitances on the MCLK
pins, a 1␣ MΩ feedback resistor may be required across the crystal or resonator in order to keep the start up times around the
15␣ ms duration.
The AD7714’s master clock appears on the MCLK OUT pin of
the device. The maximum recommended load on this pin is one
CMOS load. When using a crystal or ceramic resonator to generate the AD7714’s clock, it may be desirable to then use this
clock as the clock source for the system. In this case, it is recommended that the MCLK OUT signal is buffered with a CMOS
buffer before being applied to the rest of the circuit.
System Synchronization
The SYNC input (or FSYNC bit) allows the user to reset the
modulator and digital filter without affecting any of the setup
conditions on the part. This allows the user to start gathering
samples of the analog input from a known point in time, i.e., the
rising edge of SYNC or when a 1 is written to FSYNC.
The amount of additional current taken by the oscillator
depends on a number of factors—first, the larger the value of
capacitor placed on the MCLK␣ IN and MCLK␣ OUT pins, then
the larger the DVDD current consumption on the AD7714. Care
should be taken not to exceed the capacitor values recommended
by the crystal and ceramic resonator manufacturers to avoid
consuming unnecessary DVDD current. Typical values recommended by crystal or ceramic resonator manufacturers are in the
range of 30␣ pF to 50␣ pF and if the capacitor values on MCLK
IN and MCLK OUT are kept in this range they will not result
in any excessive DVDD current. Another factor that influences
the DVDD current is the effective series resistance (ESR) of the
crystal which appears between the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT
pins of the AD7714. As a general rule, the lower the ESR value
then the lower the current taken by the oscillator circuit.
The SYNC input can also be used to allow two other functions.
If multiple AD7714s are operated from a common master clock,
they can be synchronized to update their output registers simultaneously. A falling edge on the SYNC input (or a 1 written to
the FSYNC bit of the Mode Register) resets the digital filter and
analog modulator and places the AD7714 into a consistent,
known state. While the SYNC input is low (or FSYNC high),
the AD7714 will be maintained in this state. On the rising edge
of SYNC (or when a 0 is written to the FSYNC bit), the modulator and filter are taken out of this reset state and on the next
clock edge the part starts to gather input samples again. In a
system using multiple AD7714s, a common signal to their
SYNC inputs will synchronize their operation. This would normally be done after each AD7714 has performed its own calibration or has had calibration coefficients loaded to it. The
output updates will then be synchronized with the maximum
possible difference between the output updates of the individual
AD7714s being one MCLK IN cycle.
–26–
REV. C
AD7714
The SYNC input can also be used as a start convert command
allowing the AD7714 to be operated in a conventional converter
fashion. In this mode, the rising edge of SYNC starts conversion
and the falling edge of DRDY indicates when conversion is
complete. The disadvantage of this scheme is that the settling
time of the filter has to be taken into account for every data
register update. This means that the rate at which the data register is updated at a three times slower rate in this mode.
Since the SYNC input (or FSYNC bit) resets the digital filter,
the full settling-time of 3 × 1/Output Rate has to elapse before
there is a new word loaded to the output register on the part. If
the DRDY signal is low when SYNC returns high (or FSYNC
goes to a 0), the DRDY signal will not be reset high by the
SYNC (or FSYNC) command. This is because the AD7714
recognizes that there is a word in the data register which has not
been read. The DRDY line will stay low until an update of the
data register takes place at which time it will go high for
500 × tCLK IN before returning low again. A read from the data
register resets the DRDY signal high and it will not return low
until the settling time of the filter has elapsed (from the SYNC
or FSYNC command) and there is a valid new word in the data
register. If the DRDY line is high when the SYNC (or FSYNC)
command is issued, the DRDY line will not return low until the
settling time of the filter has elapsed.
Reset Input
The RESET input on the AD7714 resets all the logic, the digital
filter and the analog modulator while all on-chip registers are
reset to their default state. DRDY is driven high and the
AD7714 ignores all communications to any of its registers while
the RESET input is low. When the RESET input returns high,
the AD7714 starts to process data and DRDY will return low in
3 × 1/Output Rate indicating a valid new word in the data register. However, the AD7714 operates with its default setup conditions after a RESET and it is generally necessary to set up all
registers and carry out a calibration after a RESET command.
The AD7714’s on-chip oscillator circuit continues to function
even when the RESET input is low. The master clock signal
continues to be available on the MCLK OUT pin. Therefore, in
applications where the system clock is provided by the AD7714’s
clock, the AD7714 produces an uninterrupted master clock
during RESET commands.
Standby Mode
The STANDBY input on the AD7714 allows the user to place
the part in a power-down mode when it is not required to provide conversion results The AD7714 retains the contents of all
its on-chip registers (including the data register) while in
standby mode. When in standby mode, the digital interface is
reset and DRDY is reset to a Logic 1. Data cannot be accessed
from the part while in standby mode. When released from standby
mode, the part starts to process data and a new word is available
in the data register in 3 × 1/Output rate from when the STANDBY
input goes high.
Placing the part in standby mode reduces the total current to
5␣ µA typical when the part is operated from an external master
clock, provided this master clock is stopped. If the external
clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current
increases to 150␣ µA typical with 5 V supplies and 75 µA typical
with 3.3 V supplies. If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as
REV. C
the clock source, the total current in standby mode is 400␣ µA
typical with 5 V supplies and 90 µA with 3.3 V supplies. This is
because the on-chip oscillator circuit continues to run when the
part is in its standby mode. This is important in applications
where the system clock is provided by the AD7714’s clock, so
that the AD7714 produces an uninterrupted master clock even
when it is in its standby mode.
Accuracy
Sigma-Delta ADCs, like VFCs and other integrating ADCs, do
not contain any source of nonmonotonicity and inherently offer
no missing codes performance. The AD7714 achieves excellent
linearity by the use of high quality, on-chip capacitors, which
have a very low capacitance/voltage coefficient. The device also
achieves low input drift through the use of chopper-stabilized
techniques in its input stage. To ensure excellent performance
over time and temperature, the AD7714 uses digital calibration
techniques that minimize offset and gain error.
Drift Considerations
The AD7714 uses chopper stabilization techniques to minimize
input offset drift. Charge injection in the analog switches and
dc leakage currents at the sampling node are the primary
sources of offset voltage drift in the converter. The dc input
leakage current is essentially independent of the selected gain.
Gain drift within the converter depends primarily upon the
temperature tracking of the internal capacitors. It is not affected by leakage currents.
Measurement errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be eliminated at any time by recalibrating the converter or by operating
the part in the background calibration mode. Using the system
calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors in the
signal conditioning circuitry. Integral and differential linearity
errors are not significantly affected by temperature changes.
POWER SUPPLIES
No specific power sequence is required for the AD7714; either
the AVDD or the DVDD supply can come up first. While the
latch-up performance of the AD7714 is good, it is important
that power is applied to the AD7714 before signals at REF␣ IN,
AIN or the logic input pins in order to avoid latch-up. If this is
not possible, then the current which flows in any of these pins
should be limited. If separate supplies are used for the AD7714
and the system digital circuitry, then the AD7714 should be
powered up first. If it is not possible to guarantee this, then
current limiting resistors should be placed in series with the
logic inputs to again limit the current.
Supply Current
The current consumption on the AD7714 is specified for supplies in the range +3␣ V to +3.6␣ V and in the range +4.75␣ V to
+5.25␣ V. The part operates over a +2.85␣ V to +5.25␣ V supply
range and the IDD for the part varies as the supply voltage varies
over this range. Figure 5 shows the variation of the typical
IDD with VDD voltage for both a 1 MHz external clock and a
2.4576 MHz external clock at +25°C. The AD7714 is operated
in unbuffered mode and the internal boost bit on the part is
turned off. The relationship shows that the IDD is minimized by
operating the part with lower VDD voltages. IDD on the AD7714
is also minimized by using an external master clock or by optimizing external components when using the on-chip oscillator
circuit. The Y grade part is specified from 2.7 V to 3.3 V and
4.75 V to 5.25 V.

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 will reduce the effects of
feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far
the best but is not always possible with a double-sided board. In
this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
ground planes while signals are placed on the solder side.

Grounding and Layout
Since the analog inputs and reference input are differential,
most of the voltages in the analog modulator are common-mode
voltages. The excellent Common-Mode Rejection of the part
will remove common-mode noise on these inputs. The analog
and digital supplies to the AD7714 are independent and separately pinned out to minimize coupling between the analog and
digital sections of the device. The digital filter will provide
rejection of broadband noise on the power supplies, except at
integer multiples of the modulator sampling frequency. The
digital filter also removes noise from the analog and reference
inputs provided those noise sources do not saturate the analog
modulator. As a result, the AD7714 is more immune to noise
interference that a conventional high resolution converter. However, because the resolution of the AD7714 is so high and the
noise levels from the AD7714 so low, care must be taken with
regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board which houses the AD7714 should be
designed such that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the
use of ground planes which can be separated easily. A minimum
etch technique is generally best for ground planes as it gives the
best shielding. Digital and analog ground planes should only be
joined in one place. If the AD7714 is the only device requiring
an AGND to DGND connection, then the ground planes
should be connected at the AGND and DGND pins of the
AD7714. If the AD7714 is in a system where multiple devices
require AGND to DGND 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 AD7714.
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple
noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed
to run under the AD7714 to avoid noise coupling. The power
supply lines to the AD7714 should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of
glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals like
clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution
ADCs. All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10␣ µF
tantalum in parallel with 0.1␣ µF capacitors to AGND. To
achieve the best from these decoupling components, they have
to 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 disc ceramic capacitors to DGND. In systems where a
common supply voltage is used to drive both the AVDD and
DVDD of the AD7714, it is recommended that the system’s
AVDD supply is used. This supply should have the recommended
analog supply decoupling capacitors between the AVDD pin of
the AD7714 and AGND and the recommended digital supply
decoupling capacitor between the DVDD pin of the AD7714 and
DGND.
Evaluating the AD7714 Performance
The recommended layout for the AD7714 is outlined in the
evaluation board for the AD7714. The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board,
documentation, software for controlling the board over the
printer port of a PC and software for analyzing the AD7714’s
performance on the PC. For the AD7714-5, the evaluation
board order number is EVAL-AD7714-5EB and for the AD7714-3,
the order number is EVAL-AD7714-3EB.
Noise levels in the signals applied to the AD7714 may also
affect performance of the part. The AD7714 allows two techniques for evaluating the true performance of the part, independent of the analog input signal. These schemes should be used
after a calibration has been performed on the part.
The first of these is to select the AIN6/AIN6 input channel
arrangement. In this case, the differential inputs to the AD7714
are internally shorted together to provide a zero differential
voltage for the analog modulator. External to the device, the
AIN6 input should be connected to a voltage that is within the
allowable common-mode range of the part.
The second scheme is to evaluate the part with a voltage near
the input full scale voltage for a gain of 1. To do this, the reference voltage for the part should be applied to the analog input.
This will give a fixed full-scale reading from the device. If the
zero-scale calibration coefficient is now read from the device,
increased by a number equivalent to about 200 decimal and this
value reloaded to the zero-scale calibration register, the input
range will be offset such that a voltage equal to reference voltage
no longer corresponds to a full-scale reading. This allows the
user to evaluate the noise performance of the part with a near
full-scale voltage.

AD7714
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7714’s programmable functions are controlled using a
set of on-chip registers as previously outlined. Data is written to
these registers via the part’s serial interface, and read access to
the on-chip registers is also provided by this interface. All communications to the part must start with a write operation to the
Communications Register. After power-on or RESET, the device expects a write to its Communications Register. The data
written to this register determines whether the next operation to
the part is a read or a write operation and also determines to
which register this read or write operation occurs. Therefore,
write access to any of the other registers on the part starts with a
write operation to the Communications Register followed by a
write to the selected register. A read operation from any register
on the part (including the output data register) starts with a
write operation to the Communications Register followed by a
read operation from the selected register.
The AD7714’s serial interface consists of five signals, CS,
SCLK, DIN, DOUT and DRDY. The DIN line is used for
transferring data into the on-chip registers while the DOUT line
is used for accessing data from the on-chip registers. SCLK is
the serial clock input for the device and all data transfers (either
on DIN or DOUT) take place with respect to this SCLK signal.
The DRDY line is used as a status signal to indicate when data
is ready to be read from the AD7714’s data register. DRDY
goes 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 output
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 the device. It can be used to decode the AD7714 in systems where a number of parts are connected to the serial bus.
The AD7714 serial interface can operate in three-wire mode by
tying the CS input low. In this case, the SCLK, DIN and
DOUT lines are used to communicate with the AD7714 and
the status of DRDY can be obtained by interrogating the MSB
of the Communications Register.
Figures 6 and 7 show timing diagrams for interfacing to the
AD7714 with CS used to decode the part. Figure 6 is for a read
operation from the AD7714’s output shift register, while Figure
7 shows a write operation to the input shift register. Both diagrams are for the POL input at a logic high; for operation with
the POL input at a logic low simply invert the SCLK waveform
shown in the diagrams. It is possible to read the same data
twice from the output register even though the DRDY line
returns high after the first read operation. Care must be taken,
however, to ensure that the read operations have been completed before the next output update is about to take place.
The serial interface can be reset by exercising the RESET input
on the part. It can also be reset by writing a series of 1s on the
DIN input. If a logic 1 is written to the AD7714 DIN line for at
least 32 serial clock cycles the serial interface is reset. This
ensures in three-wire systems that if the interface gets lost, either
via a software error or by some glitch in the system, it can be
reset back into a known state. This state returns the interface to
where the AD7714 is expecting a write operation to the Communications Register. This operation does not in itself reset the
contents of any registers but since the interface was lost, the
information that was written to any of the registers is unknown
and it is advisable to set up all registers again.

CONFIGURING THE AD7714
The AD7714 contains eight on-chip registers that can be
accessed via the serial interface. Communication with any of
these registers is initiated by writing to the Communications
Register first. Figure 8 outlines a flow diagram of the sequence
which is used to configure all registers after a power-up or reset.
The flowchart also shows two different read options—the first
where the DRDY pin is polled to determine when an update of
the data register has taken place, the second where the DRDY
bit of the Communications Register is interrogated to see if a
data register update has taken place. Also included in the flowing diagram is a series of words which should be written to the
registers for a particular set of operating conditions. These conditions are test channel (AIN6/AIN6), gain of 1, burnout current off, no filter sync, bipolar mode, 24-bit word length, boost
off and maximum filter word (4000 decimal).

MICROCOMPUTER/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7714’s flexible serial interface allows for easy interface
to most microcomputers and microprocessors. The flowchart of
Figure 8 outlines the sequence which should be followed when
interfacing a microcontroller or microprocessor to the AD7714.
Figures 9, 10 and 11 show some typical interface circuits.
The serial interface on the AD7714 has the capability of operating from just three wires and is compatible with SPI interface
protocols. The three-wire operation makes the part ideal for
isolated systems where minimizing the number of interface lines
minimizes the number of opto-isolators required in the system.
The rise and fall times of the digital inputs to the AD7714
(especially the SCLK input) should be no longer than 1␣ µs.
The 68HC11 is configured in the master mode with its CPOL
bit set to a logic zero and its CPHA bit set to a logic one. When
the 68HC11 is configured like this, its SCLK line idles low
between data transfers. Therefore, the POL input of the AD7714
should be hard-wired low. For systems where it is preferable
that the SCLK idle high, the CPOL bit of the 68HC11 should
be set to a logic 1 and the POL input of the AD7714 should be
hard-wired to a logic high.

AD7714 to 68HC11 Interface
Figure 9 shows an interface between the AD7714 and the
68HC11 microcontroller. The diagram shows the minimum
(three-wire) interface with CS on the AD7714 hard-wired low.
In this scheme, the DRDY bit of the Communications Register
is monitored to determine when the Data Register is updated.
An alternative scheme, which increases the number of interface
lines to four, is to monitor the DRDY output line from the
AD7714. The monitoring of the DRDY line can be done in two
ways. First, DRDY can be connected to one of the 68HC11’s
port bits (such as PC0) which is configured as an input. This
port bit is then polled to determine the status of DRDY. The
second scheme is to use an interrupt driven system in which
case, the DRDY output is connected to the IRQ input of the
68HC11. For interfaces which require control of the CS input
on the AD7714, one of the port bits of the 68HC11 (such as
PC1), which is configured as an output, can be used to drive the
CS input.

Most of the registers on the AD7714 are 8-bit registers which
facilitates easy interfacing to the 8-bit serial ports of microcontrollers. Some of the registers on the part are up to 24 bits, but
data transfers to these 24-bit registers can consist of a full 24-bit
transfer or three 8-bit transfers to the serial port of the microcontroller. DSP processors and microprocessors generally transfer 16 bits of data in a serial data operation. Some of these
processors, such as the ADSP-2105, have the facility to program
the amount of cycles in a serial transfer. This allows the user to
tailor the number of bits in any transfer to match the register
length of the required register in the AD7714.
Even though some of the registers on the AD7714 are only eight
bits in length, communicating with two of these registers in
successive write operations can be handled as a single 16-bit
data transfer if required. For example, if the Mode Register is to
be updated, the processor must first write to the Communications Register (saying that the next operation is a write to the
Mode Register) and then write eight bits to the Mode Register.
This can all be done in a single 16-bit transfer if required because once the eight serial clocks of the write operation to the
Communications Register have been completed the part immediately sets itself up for a write operation to the Mode Register.

The AD7714 is not capable of full duplex operation. If the
AD7714 is configured for a write operation, no data appears on
the DATA OUT lines even when the SCLK input is active.
Similarly, if the AD7714 is configured for a read operation, data
presented to the part on the DATA IN line is ignored even
when SCLK is active.
Coding for an interface between the 68HC11 and the AD7714
is given in Table XV. In this example, the DRDY output line of
the AD7714 is connected to the PC0 port bit of the 68HC11
and is polled to determine its status.
AD7714 to 8051 Interface
An interface circuit between the AD7714 and the 8XC51 microcontroller is shown in Figure 10. The diagram shows the
minimum number of interface connections with CS on the
AD7714 hard-wired low. In the case of the 8XC51 interface the
minimum number of interconnects is just two. In this scheme,
the DRDY bit of the Communications Register is monitored to
determine when the Data Register is updated. The alternative
scheme, which increases the number of interface lines to three,
is to monitor the DRDY output line from the AD7714. The
monitoring of the DRDY line can be done in two ways. First,
DRDY can be connected to one of the 8XC51’s port bits (such
as P1.0) which is configured as an input. This port bit is then
polled to determine the status of DRDY. The second scheme is
to use an interrupt driven system in which case, the DRDY
output is connected to the INT1 input of the 8XC51. For

CODE FOR SETTING UP THE AD7714
The 8XC51 is configured in its Mode 0 serial interface mode.
Its serial interface contains a single data line. As a result, the
DATA OUT and DATA IN pins of the AD7714 should be
connected together. The serial clock on the 8XC51 idles high
between data transfers and, therefore, the POL input of the
AD7714 should be hard-wired to a logic high. The 8XC51
outputs the LSB first in a write operation while the AD7714
expects the MSB first so the data to be transmitted has to be
rearranged before being written to the output serial register.
Similarly, the AD7714 outputs the MSB first during a read
operation while the 8XC51 expects the LSB first. Therefore, the
data that is read into the serial buffer needs to be rearranged
before the correct data word from the AD7714 is available in
the accumulator.
Table XV gives a set of read and write routines in C code for
interfacing the 68HC11 microcontroller to the AD7714. The
sample program sets up the various registers on the AD7714
and reads 1000 samples from the part into the 68HC11. The
setup conditions on the part are exactly the same as those outlined for the flowchart of Figure 8. In the example code given
here the DRDY output is polled to determine if a new valid
word is available in the output register.

3. Write to the Filter Low Register, setting the 8 LSBs of the
filter word.
Figure 11 shows an interface between the AD7714 and the
ADSP-2103/ADSP-2105 DSP processor. In the interface shown,
the DRDY bit of the Communications Register is again monitored to determine when the Data Register is updated. The
alternative scheme is to use an interrupt driven system in which
case, the DRDY output is connected to the IRQ2 input of the
ADSP-2103/ADSP-2105. The RFS and TFS pins of the
ADSP-2103/ADSP-2105 are configured as active low outputs
and the ADSP-2103/ADSP-2105 serial clock line, SCLK, is
also configured as an output. The POL pin of the AD7714 is
hard-wired low. Because the SCLK from the ADSP-2103/
ADSP-2105 is a continuous clock, the CS of the AD7714 must
be used to gate off the clock once the transfer is complete. The
CS for the AD7714 is active when either the RFS or TFS
The sequence of the events in this program are as follows:
1. Write to the Communications Register, setting the channel.
2. Write to the Filter High Register, setting the 4 MSBs of the

with boost off.
4. Write to the Mode Register, setting the part for a gain of 1,
burnout current off, no filter synchronization and initiating a
self-calibration.
5. Poll the DRDY Output.
6. Read the data from the Data Register.

AD7714
APPLICATIONS
arranged in a bridge network and gives a differential output
voltage between its OUT(+) and OUT(–) terminals. With rated
full-scale pressure (in this case 300 mmHg) on the transducer,
the differential output voltage is 3 mV/Volt of the input voltage
(i.e., the voltage between its IN(+) and IN(–) terminals).
Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full-scale output range
from the transducer is 15 mV. The excitation voltage for the
bridge is also used to generate the reference voltage for the
AD7714. Therefore, variations in the excitation voltage do not
introduce errors in the system. Choosing resistor values of
24␣ kΩ and 15 kΩ as per the diagram give a 1.92 V reference
voltage for the AD7714 when the excitation voltage is 5 V.
Using the part with a programmed gain of 128 results in the full
scale input span of the AD7714 being 15 mV which corresponds
with the output span from the transducer.
The on-chip PGA allows the AD7714 to handle an analog input
voltage range as low as 10 mV full-scale with VREF = +1.25␣ V.
The differential inputs of the part allow this analog input range
to have an absolute value anywhere between AGND and AVDD
when the part is operated in unbuffered mode. It allows the user
to connect the transducer directly to the input of the AD7714.
The programmable gain front end on the AD7714 allows the
part to handle unipolar analog input ranges from 0 mV to
+20␣ mV to 0 V to +2.5␣ V and bipolar inputs of ± 20 mV to
± 2.5 V. Because the part operates from a single supply these
bipolar ranges are with respect to a biased-up differential input.
Pressure Measurement
One typical application of the AD7714 is pressure measurement. Figure 12 shows the AD7714 used with a pressure transducer, the BP01 from Sensym. The pressure transducer is

Another application area for the AD7714 is in temperature
measurement. Figure 13 outlines a connection from a thermocouple to the AD7714. In this application, the AD7714 is operated in its buffered mode to allow large decoupling capacitors
on the front end to eliminate any noise pickup which there may
have been in the thermocouple leads. When the AD7714 is
operated in buffered mode, it has a reduced common-mode
range. In order to place the differential voltage from the thermocouple on a suitable common-mode voltage, the AIN2 input of
the AD7714 is biased up at the reference voltage, +2.5␣ V.

If the buffer is required, the common-mode voltage should be
set accordingly by inserting a small resistance between the bottom end of the RTD and AGND of the AD7714. In the application shown an external 400␣ µA current source provides the
excitation current for the PT100 and it also generates the reference voltage for the AD7714 via the 6.25 kΩ resistor. Variations
in the excitation current do not affect the circuit as both the
input voltage and the reference voltage vary ratiometrically with
the excitation current. However, the 6.25␣ kΩ resistor must have
a low temperature coefficient to avoid errors in the reference
voltage over temperature.
RTD Measurement
Figure 14 shows another temperature measurement application
for the AD7714. In this case, the transducer is an RTD (Resistive Temperature Device), a PT100. The arrangement is a 4lead RTD configuration. There are voltage drops across the lead
resistances RL1 and RL4 but these simply shift the commonmode voltage. There is no voltage drop across lead resistances
RL2 and RL3 as the input current to the AD7714 is very low. The
lead resistances present a small source impedance so it would
not generally be necessary to turn on the buffer on the AD7714.

Data Acquisition
from a single +3␣ V or +5 V supply provided that the input signals to the AD7714’s analog inputs are all of positive polarity.
The low power operation of the AD7714 ensures that very little
power has to be brought across the isolation barrier. Figure 15
shows the AD7714 in an isolated data acquisition system.
The AD7714 with its three differential channels (or five pseudodifferential channels) is suited to low bandwidth, high resolution
data acquisition systems. In addition, the three-wire digital
interface allows this data acquisition front end to be isolated
with just three optoisolators. The entire system can be operated

Smart Transmitters
Another area where the low power, single supply, three-wire
interface capabilities is of benefit is in smart transmitters. Here,
the entire smart transmitter must operate from the 4␣ mA to
20␣ mA loop. Tolerances in the loop mean that the amount of
current available to power the transmitter is as low as 3.5␣ mA.
ISOLATION
BARRIER
The AD7714 consumes only 500␣ µA, leaving 3␣ mA available for
the rest of the transmitter. Figure 16 shows a block diagram of a
smart transmitter which includes the AD7714. Not shown in
Figure 16 is the isolated power source required to power the
front end.
