GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7688 is a 16-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single 5 V power supply, VDD. It contains a low power,
high speed, 16-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an
internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port.
The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth, short
aperture delay track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising edge,
it samples the voltage difference between IN+ and IN− pins.
The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite phase
between 0 V and REF. The reference voltage, REF, is applied
externally and can be set up to the supply voltage.
Its power scales linearly with throughput.

–0.5
The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single,
3-wire bus and provides an optional BUSY indicator. It is
compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate
supply VIO.

The AD7688 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead LFCSP
with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

Function
Reference Input Voltage. The REF range is from 0.5 V to VDD. It is referred to the GND pin. This pin should
be decoupled closely to the pin with a 10 μF capacitor.
Power Supply.
Differential Positive Analog Input.
Differential Negative Analog Input.
Power Supply Ground.
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, it initiates the conversions and
selects the interface mode, chain or CS. In CS mode, it enables the SDO pin when low. In chain mode, the
data should be read when CNV is high.
Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows:
Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data input to
daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data level on
SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 16 SCK cycles.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable
the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the BUSY
indicator feature is enabled.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V,
or 5 V).
For the LFCSP package only, the exposed paddle must be connected to GND.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
It refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The
point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each code to the true straight line (Figure 25).
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in
terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.
Zero Error
It is the difference between the ideal midscale voltage, that is, 0
V, from the actual voltage producing the midscale output code,
that is, 0 LSB.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01) should occur
at a level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.999924 V
for the ±5 V range). The last transition (from 011…10 to
011…11) should occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the
nominal full scale (+4.999771 V for the ±5 V range.) The gain
error is the deviation of the difference between the actual level
of the last transition and the actual level of the first transition
from the difference between the ideal levels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms
amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to S/(N+D) by the following formula
ENOB = (S/[N + D]dB − 1.76)/6.02
and is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in dB.
Dynamic Range
It is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to the total rms
noise measured with the inputs shorted together. The value for
dynamic range is expressed in dB.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in dB.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (S/[N+D])
S/(N+D) is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The
value for S/(N+D) is expressed in dB.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measure of the acquisition performance. It
is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
It is the time required for the ADC to accurately acquire its
input after a full-scale step function was applied.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7688 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 16-bit
ADC using a successive approximation architecture.
The AD7688 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 24 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
The AD7688 is capable of converting 500,000 samples per
second (500 kSPS) and powers down between conversions.
When operating at 100 SPS, for example, it consumes 3.75 µW
typically, ideal for battery-powered applications.
The AD7688 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7688 is specified from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and can be
interfaced to any of the 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is
housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead LFCSP that
combines space savings and allows flexible configurations.
It is pin-for-pin-compatible with the AD7685, AD7686, and
AD7687.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to GND via SW+ and SW−.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and
acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs. When the
acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high, a
conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase
begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs IN+ and IN− captured at the end of the acquisition phase
is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to
become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor
array between GND and REF, the comparator input varies by
binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 . . . VREF/65536).
The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB,
in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced
condition. After the completion of this process, the part returns
to the acquisition phase and the control logic generates the
ADC output code and a BUSY signal indicator.
Because the AD7688 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.

ANALOG INPUT
Figure 27 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7688.
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that
the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more
than 0.3 V because this causes these diodes to begin to forwardbias and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a
forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. For instance,
these conditions could eventually occur when the input buffer’s
(U1) supplies are different from VDD. In such a case, an input
buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to
protect the part.

GND
During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog
inputs (IN+ or IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination
of capacitor, CPIN, and the network formed by the series
connection of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance.
RIN is typically 600 Ω and is a lumped component made up of
some serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is
typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
During the conversion phase, where the switches are opened,
the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a
1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects
and limits the noise.
When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7688 can be driven directly. Large source impedances
significantly affect the ac performance, especially total
harmonic distortion (THD). The dc performances are less
sensitive to the input impedance. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be
tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source
impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown in
Figure 29.

AD7688
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
SINGLE-TO-DIFFERENTIAL DRIVER
Although the AD7688 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier
needs to meet the following requirements:
For applications using a single-ended analog signal, either
bipolar or unipolar, a single-ended-to-differential driver
allows for a differential input into the part. The schematic is
shown in Figure 30. When provided a single-ended input signal,
this configuration produces a differential ±VREF with midscale
at VREF/2.
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible in order to preserve the SNR and
transition noise performance of the AD7688. Note that the
AD7688 has a noise much lower than most of the other
16-bit ADCs and, therefore, can be driven by a noisier op
amp while preserving the same or better system performance. The noise coming from the driver is filtered by the
AD7688 analog input circuit 1-pole, low-pass filter made
by RIN and CIN or by the external filter, if one is used.
Because the typical noise of the AD7688 is 53 µV rms,
the SNR degradation due to the amplifier is

f–3dB is the input bandwidth in MHz of the AD7688
(9 MHz) or the cutoff frequency of the input filter, if one
is used.
The AD7688 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input
impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance
source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND
pins, as explained in the Layout section.
N is the noise gain of the amplifier (for example, +1 in
buffer configuration).
eN is the equivalent input noise voltage of the op amp,
in nV/√Hz.
•
For ac applications, the driver should have a THD
performance commensurate with the AD7688. Figure 18
shows the THD vs. frequency that the driver should
exceed.
•
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7688 analog input circuit must settle
for a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at a 16-bit level
(0.0015%, 15 ppm). In the amplifier’s data sheet, settling at
0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This could
differ significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level
and should be verified prior to driver selection.
When REF is driven by a very low impedance source, for
example, a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8605, a
10 µF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for
optimum performance.
If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value
depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 µF (X5R,
1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum
performance using a low temperature drift ADR43x reference.
If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values down
to 2.2 µF can be used with a minimal impact on performance,
especially DNL.
Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value
ceramic decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the
REF and GND pins.

The AD7688 is specified at 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It has, unlike other
low voltage converters, a low enough noise to design a 16-bit
resolution system with low supply and respectable performance.
It uses two power supply pins: a core supply VDD and a digital
input/output interface supply VIO. VIO allows direct interface
with any logic between 1.8 V and VDD. To reduce the supplies
needed, the VIO and VDD can be tied together. The AD7688 is
independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and
VDD. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply
variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 31,
which represents PSRR over frequency.

The AD7688 powers down automatically at the end of each
conversion phase and, therefore, the power scales linearly with
the sampling rate, as shown in Figure 32. This makes the part

DIGITAL INTERFACE
Though the AD7688 has a reduced number of pins, it offers
flexibility in its serial interface modes.
The AD7688, when in CS mode, is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
digital hosts, and DSPs, e.g., Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x or ADSP219x. This interface can use either 3-wire or 4-wire. A 3-wire
interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO signals minimizes
wiring connections useful, for instance, in isolated applications.
A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV, SCK, and SDO signals
allows CNV, which initiates the conversions, to be independent
of the readback timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter
sampling or simultaneous sampling applications.
The AD7688, when in chain mode, provides a daisy chain
feature using the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a
single data line similar to a shift register.

SUPPLYING THE ADC FROM THE REFERENCE
For simplified applications, the AD7688, with its low operating
current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit
shown in Figure 33. The reference line can be driven by either:
•
The system power supply directly.
•
A reference voltage with enough current output capability,
such as the ADR43x.
•
A reference buffer, such as the AD8031, which can also
filter the system power supply, as shown in Figure 33.
The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level
when the CNV rising edge occurs. The CS mode is selected if
SDI is high and the chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The
SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected
together, the chain mode is always selected.
In either mode, the AD7688 offers the flexibility to optionally
force a start bit in front of the data bits. This start bit can be
used as a BUSY signal indicator to interrupt the digital host and
trigger the data reading. Otherwise, without a BUSY indicator,
the user must time out the maximum conversion time prior to
readback.
The BUSY indicator feature is enabled as:
• In the CS mode, if CNV or SDI is low when the ADC
conversion ends (Figure 37 and Figure 41).
• In the chain mode, if SCK is high during the CNV rising edge
(Figure 45).

to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge
allows a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold
time. After the 16th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high,
whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.
CS MODE 3-WIRE, NO BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7688 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host. The connection diagram is
shown in Figure 34 and the corresponding timing is given in
Figure 35.
CONVERT
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. Once a conversion is initiated, it continues to
completion irrespective of the state of CNV. For instance, it
could be useful to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices,
such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned high
before the minimum conversion time and held high until the
maximum conversion time to avoid the generation of the BUSY
signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7688
enters the acquisition phase and powers down. When CNV
goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO. The remaining data bits
are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is
valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used

a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional
17th SCK falling edge, or when CNV goes high, whichever is
earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.
CS MODE 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7688 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host having an interrupt input.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 36 and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 37.
If multiple AD7688s are selected at the same time, the SDO
output pin handles this contention without damage or induced
latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this contention
as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the
completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV.
Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV could be used to
select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV
must be returned low before the minimum conversion time and
held low until the maximum conversion time to guarantee the
generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When the conversion
is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low. With a
pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an
interrupt signal to initiate the data reading controlled by the
digital host. The AD7688 then enters the acquisition phase and
powers down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first, by
subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data,

avoid the generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When the
conversion is complete, the AD7688 enters the acquisition
phase and powers down. Each ADC result can be read by
bringing low its SDI input which consequently outputs the MSB
onto SDO. The remaining data bits are then clocked by
subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data,
a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the 16th SCK
falling edge, or when SDI goes high, whichever is earlier, SDO
returns to high impedance and another AD7688 can be read.
CS MODE 4-WIRE, NO BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when multiple AD7688s are
connected to an SPI-compatible digital host.
A connection diagram example using two AD7688s is shown in
Figure 38 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 39.
With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,
selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this
mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and
the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is
driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI could
be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers,
but SDI must be returned high before the minimum conversion

as an interrupt signal to initiate the data readback controlled by
the digital host. The AD7688 then enters the acquisition phase
and powers down. The data bits are then clocked out, MSB first,
by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK
edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data,
a digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate provided it has an acceptable hold time. After the optional
17th SCK falling edge, or SDI going high, whichever is earlier,
the SDO returns to high impedance.
CS MODE 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7688 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host, which has an interrupt input,
and it is desired to keep CNV, which is used to sample the
analog input, independent of the signal used to select the data
reading. This requirement is particularly important in
applications where low jitter on CNV is desired.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 40 and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 41.

With SDI high, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion,
selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. In this
mode, CNV must be held high during the conversion phase and
the subsequent data readback (if SDI and CNV are low, SDO is
driven low). Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI could
be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers,
but SDI must be returned low before the minimum conversion
time and held low until the maximum conversion time to
guarantee the generation of the BUSY signal indicator. When
the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to
low. With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used

onto SDO and the AD7688 enters the acquisition phase and
powers down. The remaining data bits stored in the internal
shift register are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges.
For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the internal shift register
and is clocked by the SCK falling edge. Each ADC in the chain
outputs its data MSB first, and 16 × N clocks are required to
readback the N ADCs. The data is valid on both SCK edges.
Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a
digital host using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading
rate and, consequently more AD7688s in the chain, provided
the digital host has an acceptable hold time. The maximum
conversion rate may be reduced due to the total readback time.
For instance, with a 3 ns digital host set-up time and 3 V
interface, up to four AD7688s running at a conversion rate of
360 kSPS can be daisy-chained on a 3-wire port.
CHAIN MODE, NO BUSY INDICATOR
This mode can be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7688s on a
3-wire serial interface. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections, for example, in
isolated multiconverter applications or for systems with a
limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to
clocking a shift register.
A connection diagram example using two AD7688s is shown in
Figure 42 and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 43.
When SDI and CNV are low, SDO is driven low. With SCK low,
a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the chain
mode, and disables the BUSY indicator. In this mode, CNV is
held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data
readback. When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output

used as a BUSY indicator to trigger the data readback controlled
by the digital host. The AD7688 then enters the acquisition
phase and powers down. The data bits stored in the internal
shift register are then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent
SCK falling edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the
internal shift register and is clocked by the SCK falling edge.
Each ADC in the chain outputs its data MSB first, and 16 × N +
1 clocks are required to readback the N ADCs. Although the
rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using
the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate and
consequently more AD7688s in the chain, provided the digital

digital host setup time and 3 V interface, up to four AD7688s
running at a conversion rate of 360 kSPS can be daisy-chained
to a single 3-wire port.
CHAIN MODE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode can also be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7688s
on a 3-wire serial interface while providing a BUSY indicator.
This feature is useful for reducing component count and wiring
connections, for example, in isolated multiconverter
applications or for systems with a limited interfacing capacity.

AD7688
APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7688 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. The pinout of the
AD7688, with all its analog signals on the left side and all its
digital signals on the right side, eases this task.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the
AD7688 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV
or clocks, should never run near analog signal paths. Crossover
of digital and analog signals should be avoided.
The AD7688 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input
impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic
inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling
ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF
and GND pins and connecting it with wide, low impedance
traces.
02973-045
At least one ground plane should be used. It could be common
or split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter
case, the planes should be joined underneath the AD7688s.
Figure 46. Example of Layout of the AD7688 (Top Layer)
Finally, the power supplies VDD and VIO of the AD7688
should be decoupled with ceramic capacitors (typically 100 nF)
placed close to the AD7688 and connected using short and wide
traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of
glitches on the power supply lines.
02973-046
An example of layout following these rules is shown in
Figure 46 and Figure 47.
EVALUATING THE AD7688 PERFORMANCE
Other recommended layouts for the AD7688 are outlined
in the documentation of the evaluation board for the AD7688
