GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7676 is a 16-bit, 500 kSPS, charge redistribution SAR,
fully differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single 5 V power supply. The part contains a high
speed 16-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock,
error correction circuits, and both serial and parallel system
interface ports.
The AD7676 is hardware factory-calibrated and is comprehensively tested to ensure such ac parameters as signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) and total harmonic distortion (THD), in addition to the
more traditional dc parameters of gain, offset, and linearity.
It is fabricated using Analog Devices’ high performance, 0.6 micron
CMOS process and is available in a 48-lead LQFP or a tiny
48-lead LFCSP with operation specified from –40°C to +85°C.

Parallel Mode Selection (8-Bit/16-Bit). When LOW, the LSB is output on D[7:0] and the MSB is
output on D[15:8]. When HIGH, the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0].
Straight Binary/Binary Twos Complement. When OB/2C is HIGH, the digital output is straight
binary. When LOW, the MSB is inverted resulting in a twos complement output from its internal
shift register.
Serial/Parallel Selection Input. When LOW, the Parallel Port is selected. When HIGH, the
Serial Interface Mode is selected and some bits of the DATA bus are used as a Serial Port.
Bit 0 and Bit 1 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus. When SER/PAR is HIGH, these outputs are in
high impedance.
When SER/PAR is LOW, these outputs are used as Bit 2 and Bit 3 of the Parallel Port Data
Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, EXT/INT is LOW and RDC/SDIN is LOW, which is the Serial Master
Read after Convert Mode. These inputs, part of the Serial Port, are used to slow down, if desired,
the internal serial clock that clocks the data output. In the other serial modes, these pins are high
impedance outputs.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as the Bit 4 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the serial port, is used as a digital select input for
choosing the internal or an external data clock. With EXT/INT tied LOW, the internal clock is
selected on the SCLK output. With EXT/INT set to a logic HIGH, output data is synchronized to
an external clock signal connected to the SCLK input.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 5 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used to select the active state of
the SYNC signal. When LOW, SYNC is active HIGH. When HIGH, SYNC is active LOW.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 6 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used to invert the SCLK signal.
It is active in both Master and Slave Modes.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 7 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this input, part of the Serial Port, is used as either an external data
input or a Read Mode selection input depending on the state of EXT/INT.
When EXT/INT is HIGH, RDC/SDIN could be used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion
results from two or more ADCs onto a single SDOUT line. The digital data level on SDIN is
output on DATA with a delay of 16 SCLK periods after the initiation of the read sequence. When
EXT/INT is LOW, RDC/SDIN is used to select the Read Mode. When RDC/SDIN is HIGH,
the data is output on SDOUT during conversion. When RDC/SDIN is LOW, the data is output
on SDOUT only when the conversion is complete.

When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 8 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus. When
SER/PAR is HIGH, this output, part of the Serial Port, is used as a serial data output synchronized
to SCLK. Conversion results are stored in an on-chip register. The AD7676 provides the conversion
result, MSB first, from its internal shift register. The DATA format is determined by the logic level
of OB/2C. In Serial Mode, when EXT/INT is LOW, SDOUT is valid on both edges of SCLK.
In Serial Mode, when EXT/INT is HIGH:
If INVSCLK is LOW, SDOUT is updated on the SCLK rising edge and valid on the next falling edge.
If INVSCLK is HIGH, SDOUT is updated on the SCLK falling edge and valid on the next rising edge.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 9 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this pin, part of the Serial Port, is used as a serial data clock input or
output, depending on the logic state of the EXT/INT pin. The active edge where the data SDOUT
is updated depends on the logic state of the INVSCLK pin.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 10 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH, this output, part of the Serial Port, is used as a digital output frame
synchronization for use with the internal data clock (EXT/INT = Logic LOW). When a read
sequence is initiated and INVSYNC is LOW, SYNC is driven HIGH and remains HIGH while
SDOUT output is valid. When a read sequence is initiated and INVSYNC is HIGH, SYNC is
driven LOW and remains LOW while SDOUT output is valid.
When SER/PAR is LOW, this output is used as Bit 11 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR is HIGH and EXT/INT is HIGH, this output, part of the Serial Port, is used as
an incomplete read error flag. In Slave Mode, when a data read is started and not complete when
the following conversion is complete, the current data is lost and RDERROR is pulsed HIGH.
Bit 12 to Bit 15 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus. These pins are always outputs regardless
of the state of SER/PAR.
Busy Output. Transitions HIGH when a conversion is started and remains HIGH until the conversion
is complete and the data is latched into the on-chip shift register. The falling edge of BUSY could
be used as a data-ready clock signal.
Must Be Tied to Digital Ground
Read Data. When CS and RD are both LOW, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled.
Chip Select. When CS and RD are both LOW, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled.
CS is also used to gate the external serial clock.
Reset Input. When set to a logic HIGH, resets the AD7676. Current conversion if any is aborted.
Power-Down Input. When set to a logic HIGH, power consumption is reduced and conversions
are inhibited after the current one is completed.
Start Conversion. If CNVST is HIGH when the acquisition phase (t8) is complete, the next falling
edge on CNVST puts the internal sample-and-hold into the hold state and initiates a conversion.
This mode is the most appropriate if low sampling jitter is desired. If CNVST is LOW when the
acquisition phase (t8) is complete, the internal sample-and-hold is put into the hold state and a
conversion is started immediately.

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Integral nonlinearity is the maximum deviation of a straight line
drawn through the transfer function of the actual ADC. The
deviation is measured from the middle of each code.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is
often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes
are guaranteed.
+Full-Scale Error
The last transition (from 011 . . . 10 to 011 . . . 11 in twos complement coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB below
the nominal +full scale (+2.499886 V for the ± 2.5 V range). The
+full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the last
transition from the ideal level.
–Full-Scale Error
The first transition (from 100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01 in twos complement coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1/2 LSB above
the nominal –full scale (–2.499962 V for the ± 2.5 V range). The
–full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the last
transition from the ideal level.
Bipolar Zero Error
The bipolar zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale
input voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale
output code.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of

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
]
) / 6.02
dB – 1.76
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 decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels (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 decibels (dB).
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance and
is measured from the falling edge of the CNVST input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.

During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the

When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNVST input
goes or is low, a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion
phase begins, SW+ and SW– are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the REFGND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between
the output of IN+ and IN– captured at the end of the acquisition
phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator
to become unbalanced.

By switching each element of the capacitor array between
REFGND or REF, the comparator input varies by binary
weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 . . . VREF/65536). The
control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB first,
in order to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition.
After the completion of this process, the control logic generates
the ADC output code and brings BUSY output LOW.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7676 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 16-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AD7676 is capable of
converting 500,000 samples per second (500 kSPS) and allows
power saving between conversions. When operating at 100 SPS,
for example, it typically consumes only 15 µW. This feature
makes the AD7676 ideal for battery-powered applications.
Transfer Functions
Using the OB/2C digital input, the AD7676 offers two output
codings: straight binary and twos complement. The ideal transfer
characteristic for the AD7676 is shown in Figure 4.
ADC CODE – Straight Binary
The AD7676 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold,
successive-approximation ADC that does not exhibit any pipeline
or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel
applications.
The AD7676 can be operated from a single 5 V supply and be
interfaced to either 5 V or 3 V digital logic. It is housed in a
48-lead LQFP package or a 48-lead LFCSP package that combines
space savings and allows flexible configurations as either serial
or parallel interface. The AD7676 is pin-to-pin compatible with
the AD7675.

120 mA maximum. This condition could eventually occur when
the input buffer’s (U1) or (U2) supplies are different from
AVDD. In such a case, an input buffer with a short-circuit
current limitation can be used to protect the part.
The AD7676 is specified to operate with a differential ± 2.5 V
range. The typical input impedance for each analog input range
is also shown. Figure 6 shows a simplified analog input section
of the AD7676.
This analog input structure is a true differential structure. By

During the acquisition phase for ac signals, the AD7676 behaves
like a one-pole RC filter consisting of the equivalent resistance
R+, R–, and CS. The resistors R+ and R– are typically 684 Ω and
are lumped components made up of some serial resistors and the
on resistance of the switches. The capacitor CS is typically 60 pF
and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. This one-pole filter
with a typical –3 dB cutoff frequency of 3.88 MHz reduces undesirable aliasing effects and limits the noise coming from the inputs.
Because the input impedance of the AD7676 is very high, the
AD7676 can be driven directly by a low impedance source without
gain error. That allows users to put, as shown in Figure 5, an
external one-pole RC filter between the output of the amplifier
output and the ADC analog inputs to even further improve the
noise filtering done by the AD7676 analog input circuit. However,
the source impedance has to be kept low because it affects the
ac performances, especially the total harmonic distortion (THD).
The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of
THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades proportionally
to the source impedance.
Single-to-Differential Driver
For applications using unipolar analog signals, a single-ended-todifferential driver will allow for a differential input into the part.
The schematic is shown in Figure 8.

N is the noise factor of the amplifier (1 if in buffer
configuration).
eN is the equivalent input noise voltage of the op amp in nV/√Hz.
For instance, a driver with an equivalent input noise of
2 nV/√Hz like the AD8021 and configured as a buffer, thus
with a noise gain of +1, will degrade the SNR by only 0.26 dB.
The AD8021 meets these requirements and is usually appropriate
for almost all applications. The AD8021 needs an external
compensation capacitor of 10 pF. This capacitor should have
good linearity as an NPO ceramic or mica type.
The AD8022 could also be used where a dual version is needed
and a gain of 1 is used.
The AD829 is another alternative where high frequency (above
500 kHz) performance is not required. In a gain of 1, it requires
an 82 pF compensation capacitor.

This configuration, when provided an input signal of 0 to VREF,
will produce a differential ± 2.5 V with a common mode at 1.25 V.
If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8138 can be used.
Driver Amplifier Choice
Although the AD7676 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs
to meet the following requirements:
• The driver amplifier and the AD7676 analog input circuit have
to be able, together, to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%). In the amplifier’s data
sheet, the settling at 0.1% or 0.01% is more commonly
specified. It could significantly differ from the settling time
at the 16-bit level and, therefore, it should be verified prior to
the driver selection. The tiny op amp AD8021, which combines ultralow noise and a high gain bandwidth, meets this
settling time requirement even when used with a high gain
up to 13.
• The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to
that of the AD7676.
• The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept
as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise
The voltage reference input REF of the AD7676 has a dynamic
input impedance. Therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with an efficient decoupling between the REF and
REFGND inputs. This decoupling depends on the choice of the
voltage reference but usually consists of a low ESR tantalum
capacitor connected to the REF and REFGND inputs with
minimum parasitic inductance. 47 µF is an appropriate value for
the tantalum capacitor when used with one of the recommended
reference voltages:
• The low noise, low temperature drift ADR421 and AD780
voltage references
• The low power ADR291 voltage reference
• The low cost AD1582 voltage reference
For applications using multiple AD7676s, it is more effective to
buffer the reference voltage with a low noise, very stable op amp
like the AD8031.
Care should also be taken with the reference temperature coefficient of the voltage reference, which directly affects the full-scale
accuracy if this parameter matters. For instance, a ± 15 ppm/°C
tempco of the reference changes the full scale by ± 1 LSB/°C.

AD7676
VREF , as mentioned in the specification table, could be increased
to AVDD – 1.85 V. The benefit here is the increased SNR obtained
as a result of this increase. Since the input range is defined in
terms of VREF, this would essentially increase the range to make
it a ± 3 V input range with an AVDD above 4.85 V. The theoretical improvement as a result of this increase in reference is
1.58 dB (20 log [3/2.5]). Due to the theoretical quantization noise,
however, the observed improvement is approximately 1 dB. The
AD780 can be selected with a 3 V reference voltage.

Power Supply
The AD7676 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog 5 V
supply AVDD, a digital 5 V core supply DVDD, and a digital
input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD supply allows
direct interface with any logic working between 2.7 V and
DVDD + 0.3 V. To reduce the number of supplies needed, the
digital core (DVDD) can be supplied through a simple RC filter
from the analog supply as shown in Figure 5. The AD7676 is
independent of power supply sequencing once OVDD does not
exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V and thus free from supply
voltage-induced latch-up. Additionally, it is very insensitive to
power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in
Figure 9.

Figure 11 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion

initiates conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or
aborted, even by the power-down input PD, until the conversion
is complete. The CNVST signal operates independently of CS
and RD signals.

POWER DISSIPATION
The AD7676 automatically reduces its power consumption at
the end of each conversion phase. During the acquisition phase,
the operating currents are very low, which allows a significant
power savings when the conversion rate is reduced, as shown in
Figure 10. This feature makes the AD7676 ideal for very low
power battery-operated applications.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital
supply currents even further, the digital inputs need to be driven
close to the power rails (i.e., DVDD and DGND) and OVDD
should not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.
REV. B
For true sampling applications, the recommended operation of
the CNVST signal is the following:
CNVST must be held HIGH from the previous falling edge of
BUSY, and during a minimum delay corresponding to the acquisition time t8; then, when CNVST is brought LOW, a conversion
is initiated and the BUSY signal goes HIGH until the completion of the conversion. Although CNVST is a digital signal, it
should be designed with this special care with fast, clean edges,
and levels, with minimum overshoot and undershoot or ringing.
For applications where the SNR is critical, the CNVST signal
should have a very low jitter. To achieve this, some use a dedicated
oscillator for CNVST generation or, at least, to clock it with a
high frequency low jitter clock as shown in Figure 5.

PARALLEL INTERFACE

The AD7676 is configured to use the parallel interface (Figure 13)
when the SER/PAR is held LOW. The data can be read either
after each conversion, which is during the next acquisition phase,
or during the following conversion as shown, respectively, in
Figures 14 and 15. When the data is read during the conversion,
however, it is recommended that it be read-only during the first
half of the conversion phase. That avoids any potential feedthrough
between voltage transients on the digital interface and the most
critical analog conversion circuitry.

For other applications, conversions can be automatically initiated.
If CNVST is held LOW when BUSY is LOW, the AD7676
controls the acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a
new conversion. By keeping CNVST LOW, the AD7676 keeps
the conversion process running by itself. It should be noted that
the analog input has to be settled when BUSY goes LOW. Also,
at power-up, CNVST should be brought LOW once to initiate the
conversion process. In this mode, the AD7676 could sometimes
run slightly faster than the guaranteed limit of 500 kSPS.

The AD7676 has a versatile digital interface; it can be interfaced

The serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel databus. The
AD7676 digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V
logic by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the AD7676
to the host system interface digital supply. Finally, by using the

The AD7676 is configured to use the serial interface when the

the 16 clock pulses provided on the SCLK pin.

Usually, because the AD7676 has a longer acquisition phase
than the conversion phase, the data is read immediately after
conversion. That makes the mode master, read after conversion,
the most recommended serial mode when it can be used.
The AD7676 is configured to generate and provide the serial data
clock SCLK when the EXT/INT pin is held LOW. The AD7676 also
generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host when the serial

AD7676
In Read-after-Conversion Mode, unlike in other modes, it should
be noted that the signal BUSY returns LOW after the 16 data
bits are pulsed out and not at the end of the conversion phase,
which results in a longer BUSY width.
In Read-during-Conversion Mode, the serial clock and data
toggle at appropriate instances, which minimizes potential feedthrough between digital activity and the critical conversion decisions.
SLAVE SERIAL INTERFACE
External Clock
an external clock is being provided, it is a discontinuous clock
that is toggling only when BUSY is LOW or, more importantly,
that it does not transition during the latter half of BUSY HIGH.
External Discontinuous Clock Data Read after Conversion
This mode is the most recommended of the serial slave modes.
Figure 19 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.
After a conversion is complete, indicated by BUSY returning
LOW, the result of this conversion can be read while both CS and
RD are LOW. The data is shifted out, MSB first, with 16 clock
pulses and is valid on both the rising and falling edges of the clock.
The AD7676 is configured to accept an externally supplied serial
data clock on the SCLK pin when the EXT/INT pin is held HIGH.
In this mode, several methods can be used to read the data. The
external serial clock is gated by CS and the data are output when
both CS and RD are LOW. Thus, depending on CS, the data can
be read after each conversion or during the following conversion.
The external clock can be either a continuous or discontinuous
clock. A discontinuous clock can be either normally HIGH or
normally LOW when inactive. Figures 19 and 20 show the detailed
timing diagrams of these methods. Usually, because the AD7676
has a longer acquisition phase than the conversion phase, the
data are read immediately after conversion.
Among the advantages of this method, the conversion performance is not degraded because there are no voltage transients
on the digital interface during the conversion process.
While the AD7676 is performing a bit decision, it is important
that voltage transients not occur on digital input/output pins or
degradation of the conversion result could occur. This is particularly important during the second half of the conversion phase
because the AD7676 provides error correction circuitry that can
correct for an improper bit decision made during the first half of
the conversion phase. For this reason, it is recommended that when
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in
Figure 21. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a common
CNVST signal. It should be noted that the RDC/SDIN input is
latched on the opposite edge of SCLK of the one used to shift
out the data on SDOUT. Thus, the MSB of the “upstream”
converter just follows the LSB of the “downstream” converter
on the next SCLK cycle.
Another advantage is to be able to read the data at any speed up to
40 MHz, which accommodates both slow digital host interface
and the fastest serial reading.
Finally, in this mode only, the AD7676 provides a “daisy chain”
feature using the RDC/SDIN input pin for cascading multiple
converters together. This feature is useful for reducing component
count and wiring connections when it is desired as it is, for
instance, in isolated multiconverter applications.

interface or with a general-purpose Serial Port or I/O Ports on a
microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can be used with
the AD7676 to prevent digital noise from coupling into the ADC.
The following sections illustrate the use of the AD7676 with
an SPI-equipped microcontroller, and the ADSP-21065L and
ADSP-218x signal processors.
External Clock Data Read During Conversion
Figure 20 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.
During a conversion, while both CS and RD are LOW, the result
of the previous conversion can be read. The data is shifted out,
MSB first, with 16 clock pulses, and is valid on both rising and
falling edges of the clock. The 16 bits have to be read before the
current conversion is complete. If that is not done, RDERROR is
pulsed HIGH and can be used to interrupt the host interface to
prevent incomplete data reading. There is no daisy chain feature
in this mode, and RDC/SDIN input should always be tied either
HIGH or LOW.
SPI Interface (MC68HC11)
Figure 22 shows an interface diagram between the AD7676 and an
SPI-equipped microcontroller, such as the MC68HC11. To accommodate the slower speed of the microcontroller, the AD7676 acts
as a slave device and data must be read after conversion. This mode
also allows the daisy chain feature. The convert command could
be initiated in response to an internal timer interrupt. The reading
of output data, one byte at a time if necessary, could be initiated
in response to the end-of-conversion signal (BUSY going LOW)
using an interrupt line of the microcontroller. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) on the MC68HC11 is configured for Master
Mode (MSTR) = 1, Clock Polarity Bit (CPOL) = 0, Clock Phase
Bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt enable (SPIE) = 1 by writing
to the SPI Control Register (SPCR). The IRQ is configured for
edge-sensitive-only operation (IRQE = 1 in OPTION register).
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast
discontinuous clock of at least 18 MHz is recommended to ensure
that all the bits are read during the first half of the conversion
phase. For this reason, this mode is more difficult to use.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The AD7676 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor and ac signal processing
applications interfacing to a digital signal processor. The AD7676
is designed to interface either with a parallel 8-bit or 16-bit wide

ground planes that can be easily separated. Digital and analog
ground planes should be joined in only one place, preferably
underneath the AD7676, or, at least, as close as possible to the
AD7676. If the AD7676 is in a system where multiple devices
require analog to digital ground connections, the connection
should still be made at one point only, a star ground point
that should be established as close as possible to the AD7676.

Figure 22. Interfacing the AD7676 to SPI Interface
ADSP-21065L in Master Serial Interface
As shown in Figure 23, the AD7676 can be interfaced to the
ADSP-21065L using the serial interface in Master Mode without
any glue logic required. This mode combines the advantages of
reducing the wire connections and the ability to read the data during
or after conversion maximum speed transfer (DIVSCLK[0:1]
both LOW).
The AD7676 is configured for the Internal Clock Mode (EXT/INT
LOW) and acts, therefore, as the master device. The convert
command can be generated by either an external low jitter oscillator or, as shown, by a FLAG output of the ADSP-21065L or by
a frame output TFS of one serial port of the ADSP-21065L that
can be used like a timer. The Serial Port on the ADSP-21065L
is configured for external clock (IRFS = 0), rising edge active
(CKRE = 1), external late framed sync signals (IRFS = 0,
LAFS = 1, RFSR = 1), and active HIGH (LRFS = 0). The Serial
Port of the ADSP-21065L is configured by writing to its receive
control register (SRCTL)—see the ADSP-2106x SHARC User’s
Manual. Because the Serial Port within the ADSP-21065L will
be seeing a discontinuous clock, an initial word reading has to
be done after the ADSP-21065L has been reset to ensure that
the Serial Port is properly synchronized to this clock during each
following data read operation.

Layout
The AD7676 has very good immunity to noise on the power
supplies as can be seen in Figure 21. However, care should still
be taken with regard to grounding layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7676 should be
designed so the analog and digital sections are separated and
confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of
It is recommended to 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 AD7676 to avoid noise
coupling. Fast switching signals like CNVST or clocks should be
shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board and should never run near analog signal paths.
Crossover of digital and analog signals should be avoided. Traces
on different but close layers of the board should run at right
angles to each other. This will reduce the effect of feedthrough
through the board.
The power supply lines to the AD7676 should use as large a
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the
effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is
also important to lower the supply’s impedance presented to
the AD7676 and reduce the magnitude of the supply spikes.
Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should be
placed on each power supply’s pins, AVDD, DVDD, and OVDD,
close to and ideally right up against these pins and their corresponding ground pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 µF capacitors
should be located in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce
low frequency ripple.
The DVDD supply of the AD7676 can be either a separate
supply or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the
digital interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply
is noisy, or fast switching digital signals are present, it is recommended if no separate supply is available, to connect the DVDD
digital supply to the analog supply AVDD through an RC filter as
shown in Figure 5 and to connect the system supply to the interface digital supply OVDD and the remaining digital circuitry.
When DVDD is powered from the system supply, it is useful to
insert a bead to further reduce high frequency spikes.
The AD7676 has four different ground pins: REFGND, AGND,
DGND, and OGND. REFGND senses the reference voltage and
should be a low impedance return to the reference because it
carries pulsed currents. AGND is the ground to which most internal ADC analog signals are referenced. This ground must be
connected with the least resistance to the analog ground plane.
DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane,
depending on the configuration. OGND is connected to the
digital system ground.
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is important.
The decoupling capacitor should be close to the ADC and
connected with short and large traces to minimize parasitic
inductances.
Evaluating the AD7676 Performance
A recommended layout for the AD7676 is outlined in the
evaluation board for the AD7676. The evaluation board package
includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board,
documentation, and software for controlling the board from a
PC via the Eval-Control BRD2.
