GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD76901 is an 18-bit, successive approximation, analog-todigital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power supply,
VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC
with no missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a
versatile serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, it
samples the voltage difference between the IN+ and IN− pins.
The voltages on these pins 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.
The power of the AD7690 scales linearly with the throughput.
1.0
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 VIO supply.

Description
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 of the part, chain or CS mode. In CS mode, the SDO pin is
enabled when CNV is 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 18 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. 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).
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad is not connected internally. For increased reliability of the solder
joints, it is recommended that the pad be soldered to the ground plane.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
INL 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 (see 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
Zero error 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 (−4.999981 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 (+4.999943 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, 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 SINAD by the following formula:
and is expressed in bits.
Effective Resolution
Effective resolution is calculated as
Effective Resolution = log2(2N/RMS Input Noise)
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.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range 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 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 that is less than the
Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value of
SNR is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD 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
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
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
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to accurately
acquire its input after a full-scale step function is applied.
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
and is expressed in bits.
Noise-Free Code Resolution
Noise-free code resolution is the number of bits beyond which it is
impossible to distinctly resolve individual codes. It is calculated as:
Noise-Free Code Resolution = log2(2N/Peak-to-Peak Noise)

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7690 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise, 18-bit
ADC using a successive approximation architecture.
The AD7690 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 18 binary-weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
The AD7690 is capable of converting 400,000 samples per
second (400 kSPS) and powers down between conversions.
When operating at 1 kSPS, for example, it consumes 50 µW
typically, ideal for battery-powered applications.
The AD7690 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal
for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7690 is specified from 4.75 V to 5.25 V and can be
interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is housed in
a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead LFCSP that allows space
savings and flexible configurations.
It is pin-for-pin compatible with the 18-bit AD7691 and AD7982
and the 16-bit AD7687, AD7688, and AD7693.
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
IN+ and IN− inputs 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/262,144).
The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB,
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 AD7690 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.

Data Sheet
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 does not exceed the supply rails by more
than 0.3 V because this causes the diodes to become forward
biased 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 (for example, an
input buffer with a short circuit), the current limitation can be
used to protect the part.

The noise generated by the driver amplifier must be kept

performance of the AD7690. The noise from the driver is
filtered by the AD7690 analog input circuit’s 1-pole, lowpass filter made by RIN and CIN or by the external filter,
if one is used. Because the typical noise of the AD7690 is
28 µV rms, the SNR degradation due to the amplifier is

When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7690 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.

f−3 dB is the input bandwidth in megahertz of the AD7690
(9 MHz) or the cutoff frequency of the input filter, if one is
used.
N is the noise gain of the amplifier (for example, 1 in
buffer configuration).
eN+ and eN− are the equivalent input noise voltage densities
of the op amps connected to IN+ and IN−, in nV/√Hz.
During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog
inputs (IN+ and IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination
of the 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 composed
of 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.
This approximation can be used when the resistances
around the amplifiers are small. If larger resistances are
used, their noise contributions should also be root
summed squared.

Data Sheet
For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7690 analog input circuit must settle
for a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at an 18-bit
level (0.0004%, 4 ppm). In the amplifier’s data sheet, settling
at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This may
differ significantly from the settling time at an 18-bit level
and should be verified prior to driver selection.

SINGLE-TO-DIFFERENTIAL DRIVER
For applications using a single-ended analog signal, either bipolar
or unipolar, the ADA4941-1 single-ended-to-differential driver
allows for a differential input into the part. The schematic is
shown in Figure 30.
R1 and R2 set the attenuation ratio between the input range and
the ADC range (VREF). R1, R2, and CF are chosen depending on
the desired input resistance, signal bandwidth, antialiasing, and
noise contribution. For example, for the ±10 V range with a 4 kΩ
impedance, R2 = 1 kΩ and R1 = 4 kΩ.
R3 and R4 set the common mode on the IN− input, and R5 and
R6 set the common mode on the IN+ input of the ADC. The
common mode should be set close to VREF/2; however, if single
supply is desired, it can be set slightly above VREF/2 to provide
some headroom for the ADA4941-1 output stage. For example,
for the ±10 V range with a single supply, R3 = 8.45 kΩ, R4 =
11.8 kΩ, R5 = 10.5 kΩ, and R6 = 9.76 kΩ.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
The AD7690 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.
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, a reference-decoupling capacitor with a value as small
as 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.

POWER SUPPLY
5V
The AD7690 uses two power supply pins: a core supply, VDD, and
a digital input/output interface supply, VIO. VIO allows a direct
interface with any logic between 1.8 V and VDD. To reduce the
number of supplies needed, the VIO and VDD pins can be tied
together. The AD7690 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.

The AD7690 powers down automatically at the end of each

When in chain mode, the AD7690 provides a daisy-chain
feature using the SDI input for cascading multiple ADCs on a
single data line similar to a shift register.
In either mode, the AD7690 offers the option of forcing 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
timeout the maximum conversion time prior to readback.

When in CS mode, the AD7690 is compatible with SPI, QSPI™,
digital hosts, and DSPs, for example, Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x or
ADSP-219x. In this mode, the AD7690 can use either a 3-wire
or 4-wire interface. 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 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 selected.

before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held
high for the maximum possible conversion time to avoid the
generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is
complete, the AD7690 enters the acquisition phase and powers
down. When CNV goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO. The
remaining data bits are 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 18th SCK falling edge or when
CNV goes high (whichever occurs first), SDO returns to high
impedance.
CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7690 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.
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 until
completion irrespective of the state of CNV. This can be useful,
for instance, to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices, such
as analog multiplexers; however, CNV must be returned high

impedance to low impedance. 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 AD7690 then
enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits are
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 19th SCK falling edge or when
CNV goes high (whichever occurs first), SDO returns to high
impedance.
CS MODE, 3-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7690 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.
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 can be used to
select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV
must be returned low before the minimum conversion time
elapses and then held low for the maximum possible conversion
time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator.
When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high
If multiple AD7690s 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.

conversion time to avoid the generation of the busy signal
indicator. When the conversion is complete, the AD7690 enters
the acquisition phase and powers down. Each ADC result can
be read by bringing its SDI input low, which consequently
outputs the MSB onto SDO. The remaining data bits are 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 18th SCK
falling edge or when SDI goes high (whichever occurs first), SDO
returns to high impedance and another AD7690 can be read.
CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when multiple AD7690s are connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host.
A connection diagram example using two AD7690s 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

driven low.) Prior to the minimum conversion time, SDI can be
used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers,

CS MODE, 4-WIRE WITH BUSY INDICATOR
This mode is usually used when a single AD7690 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 independence 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

readback. When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output
onto SDO and the AD7690 enters the acquisition phase and
powers down. The remaining data bits stored in the internal
shift register are 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 18 × N clocks are required to
read back 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 AD7690s 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.
CHAIN MODE WITHOUT BUSY INDICATOR
This mode can be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7690s 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 AD7690s 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

completed their conversions, the SDO pin of the ADC closest to
the digital host (see the AD7690 ADC labeled C in Figure 44) is
driven high. This transition on SDO can be used as a busy
indicator to trigger the data readback controlled by the digital
host. The AD7690 then enters the acquisition phase and powers
down. The data bits stored in the internal shift register are
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 18 × N + 1 clocks are required to

This mode can also be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7690s

AD7690
APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7690 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. The pinout of the
AD7690, with its analog signals on the left side and its digital
signals on the right side, eases this task.
At least one ground plane should be used. It can be common or
split between the digital and analog sections. In the latter case,
the planes should be joined underneath the AD7690s.
05792-023
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
couple noise onto the die unless a ground plane under the
AD7690 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV
or clocks, should not run near analog signal paths. Crossover of
digital and analog signals should be avoided.
Figure 46. Example Layout of the AD7690 (Top Layer)
The AD7690 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, ideally right up against, the REF and
GND pins and connecting them with wide, low impedance traces.
Finally, the AD7690 VDD and VIO power supplies should be
decoupled with ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, placed
close to the AD7690 and connected using short, wide traces to
provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches
on the power supply lines.
An example of a layout following these rules is shown in
Figure 46 and Figure 47.
Other recommended layouts for the AD7690 are outlined
in the documentation of the evaluation board (EVALAD7690SDZ). 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-SDP-CB1Z.
