The AD7708/AD7718 are complete analog front-ends for low
frequency measurement applications. The AD7718 contains a
24-bit Σ-∆ ADC with PGA and can be configured as 4/5 fullydifferential input channels or 8/10 pseudo-differential input
channels. Two pins on the device are configurable as analog
inputs or reference inputs. The AD7708 is a 16-bit version of
the AD7718. Input signal ranges from 20 mV to 2.56 V can be
directly converted using these ADCs. Signals can be converted
directly from a transducer without the need for signal conditioning.
The device operates from a 32 kHz crystal with an on-board PLL
generating the required internal operating frequency. The output
data rate from the part is software programmable. The peak-topeak resolution from the part varies with the programmed gain
and output data rate.
INTERFACE
3-Wire Serial
SPITM, QSPI TM, MICROWIRETM, and DSP-Compatible
Schmitt Trigger on SCLK
The part operates from a single 3 V or 5 V supply. When operating
from 3 V supplies, the power dissipation for the part is 3.84 mW typ.
Both parts are pin-for-pin compatible allowing an upgradable
path from 16 to 24 bits without the need for hardware modifications. The AD7708/AD7718 are housed in 28-lead SOIC and
TSSOP packages.

NOTES
1
Sample tested during initial release 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 1 and 2.
3
SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK.
4
These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
5
This specification only comes into play if CS goes low while SCLK is low. It is required primarily for interfacing to DSP machines.
6
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the load circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is
then extrapolated back to remove effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true
bus relinquish times of the part and as such are independent of external bus loading capacitances.
7
RDY returns high after the first read from the device after an output update. The same data can be read again, if required, while RDY is high, although care should
be taken that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update.

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
the AD7708/AD7718 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur
on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions
are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic input used to select the AD7708/AD7718. CS can
be used to select the AD7708/AD7718 in systems with more than one device on the serial bus or
as a frame synchronization signal in communicating with the device. CS can be hardwired low,
allowing the AD7708/AD7718 to be operated in 3-wire mode with SCLK, DIN, and DOUT
used to interface with the device.
RDY is a logic low status output from the AD7708/AD7718. RDY is low when valid data exists
in the data register for the selected channel. This output returns high on completion of a read
operation from the data register. If data is not read, RDY will return high prior to the next update
indicating to the user that a read operation should not be initiated. The RDY pin also returns
low following the completion of a calibration cycle. RDY does not return high after a calibration
until the mode bits are written to enabling a new conversion or calibration.
Serial data output with serial data being read from the output shift register of the ADC. The output
shift register can contain data from any of the on-chip data, calibration or control registers.
Serial Data Input with serial data being written to the input shift register on the AD7708/AD7718
Data in this shift register is transferred to the calibration or control registers within the ADC
depending on the selection bits of the Communications register.

AD7708/AD7718
filter whose primary function is to remove the quantization noise
introduced at the modulator. The cutoff frequency and decimated output data rate of the filter are programmable via the SF
word loaded to the filter register. The complete signal chain is
chopped resulting in excellent dc offset and offset drift specifications and is extremely beneficial in applications where drift, noise
rejection, and optimum EMI rejection are important factors.
With chopping, the ADC repeatedly reverses its inputs. The
decimated digital output words from the Sinc3 filters, therefore,
have a positive offset and negative offset term included. As a
result, a final summing stage is included so that each output
word from the filter is summed and averaged with the previous
filter output to produce a new valid output result to be written
to the ADC data register. The programming of the Sinc3 decimation factor is restricted to an 8-bit register SF, the actual
decimation factor is the register value times 8. The decimated
output rate from the Sinc3 filter (and the ADC conversion rate)
will therefore be
ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7708/AD7718 incorporates a 10-channel multiplexer
with a sigma-delta ADC, on-chip programmable gain amplifier
and digital filtering intended for the measurement of wide
dynamic range, low frequency signals such as those in weigh-scale,
strain-gauge, pressure transducer, or temperature measurement
applications. The AD7708 offers 16-bit resolution while the
AD7718 offers 24-bit resolution. The AD7718 is a pin-for-pin
compatible version of the AD7708. The AD7718 offers a direct
upgradable path from a 16-bit to a 24-bit system without requiring
any hardware changes and only minimal software changes.
These parts can be configured as four/five fully-differential
input channels or as eight/ten pseudo-differential input channels referenced to AINCOM. The channel is buffered and can
be programmed for one of eight input ranges from ± 20 mV to
± 2.56 V. Buffering the input channel means that the part can
handle significant source impedances on the analog input and
that R, C filtering (for noise rejection or RFI reduction) can be
placed on the analog inputs if required. These input channels
are intended to convert signals directly from sensors without the
need for external signal conditioning.
f ADC =
The ADC employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize
up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The sigma-delta
modulator converts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse
train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. A Sinc3
programmable low-pass filter is then employed to decimate the
modulator output data stream to give a valid data conversion result
at programmable output rates. The signal chain has two modes
of operation, CHOP enabled and CHOP disabled. The CHOP bit
in the mode register enables and disables the chopping scheme.

Signal Chain Overview (CHOP Enabled, CHOP = 0)
With CHOP = 0, chopping is enabled, this is the default and gives
optimum performance in terms of drift performance. With chopping
enabled, the available output rates vary from 5.35 Hz (186.77 ms)
to 105.03 Hz (9.52 ms). A block diagram of the ADC input
channel with chop enabled is shown in Figure 4.
As shown in the block diagram, the Sinc3 filter outputs alternately contain +VOS and –VOS, where VOS is the respective
channel offset. This offset is removed by performing a running
average of two. This average by two means that the settling time
to any change in programming of the ADC will be twice the
normal conversion time, while an asynchronous step change on
the analog input will not be fully reflected until the third subsequent output.
The sampling frequency of the modulator loop is many times
higher than the bandwidth of the input signal. The integrator in
the modulator shapes the quantization noise (which results from
the analog-to-digital conversion) so that the noise is pushed
toward one-half of the modulator frequency. The output of the
sigma-delta modulator feeds directly into the digital filter. The
digital filter then band-limits the response to a frequency significantly lower than one-half of the modulator frequency. In this
manner, the 1-bit output of the comparator is translated into a
band limited, low noise output from the AD7708/AD7718 ADC.
The AD7708/AD7718 filter is a low-pass, Sinc3 or (sinx/x)3

Normal-mode rejection is the major function of the digital filter
on the AD7708/AD7718. The normal mode 50 ± 1 Hz rejection
with an SF word of 82 is typically –100 dB. The 60 ± 1 Hz
rejection with SF = 68 is typically –100 dB. Simultaneous 50 Hz
and 60 Hz rejection of better than 60 dB is achieved with an SF
of 69. Choosing an SF word of 69 places notches at both 50 Hz
and 60 Hz. Figures 5 to 9 show the filter rejection for a selection
of SF words.

Tables II to V show the output rms noise and output peak-topeak resolution in bits (rounded to the nearest 0.5 LSB) for a
selection of output update rates. The numbers are typical and
generated at a differential input voltage of 0 V with AVDD =
DVDD = 5 V and using a 2.5 V reference. The output update
rate is selected via the SF7–SF0 bits in the Filter Register. It is
important to note that the peak-to-peak resolution figures represent the resolution for which there will be no code flicker within
a six-sigma limit. The output noise comes from two sources. The
first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device
noise) used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly,
when the analog input is converted into the digital domain,
quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level
and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at
an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to
become the dominant noise source. The numbers in the tables
are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges
the rms noise numbers will be the same as the bipolar range, but
the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal range
which effectively means losing one bit of resolution.

With CHOP =1 chopping is disabled. With chopping disabled
the available output rates vary from 16.06 Hz (62.26 ms) to
1365.33 Hz (0.73 ms). The range of applicable SF words is from
3 to 255. When switching between channels with chop disabled,
the channel throughput is increased by a factor of two over the
case where chop is enabled. When used in multiplexed applications operation with chop disabled will offer the best throughput
time when cycling through all channels. The drawback with
chop disabled is that the drift performance is degraded and
calibration is required following a gain change or significant
temperature change. A block diagram of the ADC input
channel with chop disabled is shown in Figure 10. The
signal chain includes a mux, buffer, PGA, sigma-delta modulator, and digital filter. The modulator bit stream is applied to
a Sinc 3 filter. The programming of the Sinc3 decimation
factor is restricted to an 8-bit register SF, the actual decimation factor is the register value times 8. The decimated output
rate from the Sinc3 filter (and the ADC conversion rate) will therefore be:

where

There are sinc3 notches at integer multiples of the update rate.
The 3 dB frequency for all values of SF obeys the following
equation:
fADC is the ADC conversion rate,
SF is the decimal equivalent of the word loaded to the filter
register, valid range is from 3 to 255,
fMOD is the modulator sampling rate of 32.768 kHz.
f (3 dB) = 0.262 × fADC
The settling time to a step input is governed by the digital filter.
A synchronized step change will require a settling time of three
times the programmed update rate, a channel change can be
treated as a synchronized step change. An unsynchronized step
change will require four outputs to reflect the new analog input
at its output.

The allowable range for SF is 3 to 255 with a default of 69
(45H). The corresponding conversion rates, conversion times,
and settling times are shown in Table VI. Note that the conversion time increases by 0.245 ms for each increment in SF.
The following plots show frequency response of the AD7708/
AD7718 digital filter for various filter words. The AD7708/
AD7718 are targeted at multiplexed applications. One of the
key requirements in these applications is to optimize the SF
word to obtain the maximum filter rejection at 50 Hz and 60 Hz
while minimizing the channel throughput rate. Figure 12 shows
the AD7708/AD7718 optimized throughput while maximizing
50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection. This is achieved with an SF word of
75. In Figure 13, by using a higher SF word of 151, 50 Hz and
60 Hz rejection can be maximized at 60 dB with a channel
throughput rate of 110 ms. An SF word of 255 gives maximum
rejection at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz but the channel throughput
rate is restricted to 186 ms as shown in Figure 14.

ADC NOISE PERFORMANCE CHOP DISABLED
(CHOP = 1)
Tables VII to X show the output rms noise and output peak-topeak resolution in bits (rounded to the nearest 0.5 LSB) for
some typical output update rates. The numbers are typical and
generated at a differential input voltage of 0 V. The output update
rate is selected via the SF7–SF0 bits in the Filter Register. It is
important to note that the peak-to-peak resolution figures represent
the resolution for which there will be no code flicker within a
six-sigma limit. The output noise comes from two sources. The
first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device
noise) used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly,
when the analog input is converted into the digital domain,
quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level
and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts
at an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency
to become the dominant noise source. The numbers in the
tables are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar
ranges the rms noise numbers will be the same as the bipolar
range, but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the
signal range which effectively means losing 1 bit of resolution.

port. The filter register is a read/write register used to program
the data update rate of the converter. The ADC Data register is
a read only register that contains the result of a data conversion
on the selected channel. The ADC offset registers are read/write
registers that contain the offset calibration data. There are five
offset registers, one for each of the fully differential input channels.
When configured for pseudo-differential input mode the channels share offset registers. The ADC gain registers are read/write
registers that contain the gain calibration data. There are five
ADC gain registers, one for each of the fully differential input
channels. When configured for pseudo differential input mode
the channels share gain registers. The ADC contains Test registers
for factory use only, the user is advised not to alter the operating conditions of these registers. The ID register is a read only
register and is used for silicon identification purposes. The following sections contains more in-depth detail on all of these registers.
In the following descriptions, SET implies a Logic 1 state and
CLEARED implies a Logic 0 state unless otherwise stated.
ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The AD7708 and AD7718 are controlled and configured via
a number of on-chip registers which are shown in Figure 15.
The first of these registers is the communications register
which is used to control all operations on these converters. All
communications with these parts must start with a write to
the communications register to specify the next operation to
be performed. After a power-on or RESET, the device defaults
to waiting for a write to the communications register. The
STATUS register contains information pertaining to the operating conditions of the converter. The STATUS register is a read
only register. The MODE register is used to configure the conversion mode, calibration, chop enable/disable, reference select,
channel configuration and buffered or unbuffered operation on
the AINCOM analog input. The MODE register is a read/write
register. The ADC Control register is a read/write register used
to select the active channel and program its input range and
bipolar/unipolar operation. The I/O control register is a read/
write register used to configure the operation of the 2-pin I/O

Communications Register (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 0, 0, 0)
The Communications Register is an 8-bit write-only register. 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, the type of read operation, and on which register this operation takes place. For read or write operations, 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 AD7708/AD7718 is in
this default state waiting for a write operation to the Communications Register. In situations where the interface sequence is lost, a
write operation of at least 32 serial clock cycles with DIN high returns the AD7708/AD7718 to this default state by resetting the part.
Table XII outlines the bit designations for the Communications Register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the bit location, CR denoting
the bits are in the Communications Register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream.

This bit controls the operation of the input buffer on the AINCOM input when a channel is configured for pseudo-differential mode of operation. If cleared, the analog negative input (AINCOM) is
unbuffered allowing it to be tied to AGND in single-ended input configuration. If this bit is set the
analog negative input (AINCOM) is buffered, placing a restriction on its common-mode input range.
If this bit is cleared, the reference selected is REFIN1(+) and REFIN1(–) for the active channel. If
this bit is set, the reference selected is REFIN2(+) and REFIN2(–) for the active channel. The contents of the CHCON bit overrides the REFSEL bit. If the ADC is configured in five fully-differential
or 10 pseudo-differential input channel mode, the REFSEL bit setting is irrelevant as only one
reference input is available. VREF Select implemented using the REFSEL bit enables the user to
perform both absolute and ratiometric measurements.
When cleared the device is configured as an 8-input channel converter, configured as eight pseudodifferential input channels with respect to AINCOM or four differential input arrangements
with two reference input selection options. When set the device is configured as a 10 pseudodifferential input or a five differential input channel arrangement with a single reference
input option.
Oscillator Power-Down Bit.
If this bit is set, placing the AD7708/AD7718 in standby mode will stop the crystal oscillator reducing
the power drawn by these parts to a minimum. The oscillator will require 300 ms to begin oscillating
when the ADC is taken out of standby mode. If this bit is cleared, the oscillator is not shut off when
the ADC is put into standby mode and will not require the 300 ms start-up time when the ADC is
taken out of standby.

Power-Down Mode (Power-On Default)
Idle Mode
In Idle Mode the ADC filter and modulator are held in a reset state although the modulator clocks
are still provided.
Single Conversion Mode
In Single Conversion Mode, a single conversion is performed on the enabled channels. On completion of the conversion the ADC data registers are updated, the relevant flags in the STATUS register
are written, and idle mode is reentered with the MD2–MD0 being written accordingly to 001.
Continuous Conversion
In continuous conversion mode, the ADC data registers are regularly updated at the selected update
rate (see Filter register).
Internal Zero-Scale Calibration
Internal short automatically connected to the enabled channel(s)
Internal Full-Scale Calibration
External VREF is connected automatically to the ADC input for this calibration.
System Zero-Scale Calibration
User should connect system zero-scale input to the channel input pins as selected by CH3–CH0 bits
in the control registers.
System Full-Scale Calibration
User should connect system full-scale input to the channel input pins as selected by CH3–CH0 bits
in the control registers.

AD7708/AD7718
Operating Characteristics when Addressing the Mode and Control Registers
1. Any change to the MD bits will immediately reset the ADCs. A write to the MD2–MD0 bits with no change is also treated as a reset.
2. Once the MODE has been written with a calibration mode, the RDY bit (STATUS) is immediately reset and the calibration
commences. On completion the appropriate calibration registers are written, the bit in STATUS register is updated and the
MD2–MD0 bits are reset to 001 to indicate the ADC is back in idle mode.
3. Calibrations are performed with the maximum allowable SF value with chop enabled. SF register is reset to user configuration
after calibration with chop enabled. Calibrations are performed with the selected value of SF when chop is disabled.
ADC Control Register (ADCCON): (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 0, 1, 0; Power-On-Reset = 07 Hex)
The ADC Control Register is an 8-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to
configure the ADC for range, channel selection, and unipolar or bipolar coding. Table XVI outlines the bit designations for the ADC
control register ADCCON7 through ADCCON0 indicate the bit location, ADCCON denoting the bits are in the ADC Control

Filter Register (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 0, 1, 1; Power-On Reset = 45Hex)
The Filter Register is an 8-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register determines the
amount of averaging performed by the sinc filter. Table XVII outlines the bit designations for the Filter Register. FR7 through FR0
indicate the bit location, FR denoting the bits are in the Filter Register. FR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in
brackets indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. The number in this register is used to set the decimation factor and
thus the output update rate for the ADCs. The filter register cannot be written to by the user the ADC is active. The update rate is

It should be noted that optimum performance is obtained when operating with chop enabled. When chopping is enabled (CHOP = 0),
the filter register is loaded with FF HEX during a calibration cycle. With chop disabled (CHOP =1), the value in the filter register is

ADC Data Result Register (DATA): (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 1, 0, 0; Power-On-Reset = 000000Hex)
The conversion result for the selected ADC channel is stored in the ADC data register (DATA). This register is 16 bits wide on the
AD7708 and 24 bits wide on the AD7718. This is a read only register. On completion of a read from this register the RDY bit in
the status register is cleared. These ADCs can be operated in either unipolar or bipolar mode of operation.
Unipolar Mode
In unipolar mode of operation the output coding is straight binary. With an analog input voltage of 0 V the output code is 0000Hex
for the AD7708 and 000000Hex for the AD7718. With an analog input voltage of 1.024 VREF/Gain the output code is FFFFHex
for the AD7708 and FFFFFF Hex for the AD7718. The output code for any analog input voltage can be represented as follows:
Code = (AIN × GAIN × 2N)/(1.024 × VREF)
where
AIN is the analog input voltage and
N = 16 for the AD7708 and N = 24 for the AD7718.

REV. 0
AD7708/AD7718
Bipolar Mode
With an analog input voltage of (–1.024 VREF/GAIN), the output code is 0000 Hex using the AD7708 and 000000H using the AD7718.
With an analog input voltage of 0 V, the output code is 8000Hex for the AD7708 and 800000Hex for the AD7718. With an analog
input voltage of (+1.024 VREF/GAIN), the output code is FFFF Hex for the AD7708 and FFFFFF Hex for the AD7718. Note the
analog inputs are pseudo bipolar inputs and the analog input voltage must remain within the common-mode input range at all times.
The output code for any analog input voltage can be represented as follows:
Code = 2N–1 × [(AIN × GAIN/1.024 × VREF) + 1]
where
AIN is the analog input voltage,
N = 16 for the AD7708, and
N = 24 for the AD7718.
ADC Offset Calibration Coefficient Registers (OF0): (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 1, 0, 1; Power-On-Reset = 8000(00)Hex)
The offset calibration registers are 16-bit registers on the AD7708 and 24-bit registers on the AD7718. These registers hold the offset
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The power-on-reset value of the internal zero-scale calibration coefficient registers is 8000(00).
There are five offset registers available, one for each of the fully differential input channels. Calibration register pairs are shared when
operating in pseudo-differential input mode. However, these bytes will be automatically overwritten if an internal or system zero-scale
calibration is initiated by the user via MD2–MD0 bits in the MODE register. The channel bits, in association with the communication
register address for the OF0 register, allow access to this register. This register is a read/write register. The calibration register can
only be written to if the ADC is inactive (MD bits in the mode register = 000 or 001). Reading of the calibration register does not
clear the RDY bit.
ADC Gain Calibration Coefficient Register (GNO): (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 1, 1, 0; Power-On-Reset = 5XXX(X5) Hex)
The gain calibration registers are 16-bit registers on the AD7708 and 24-bit registers on the AD7718. These registers are configured
at power-on with factory-calculated internal full-scale calibration coefficients. There are five full-scale registers available, one for each
of the fully differential input channels. Calibration register pairs are shared when operating in pseudo-differential input mode. Every
device will have different default coefficients. However, these bytes will be automatically overwritten if an internal or system full-scale
calibration is initiated by the user via MD2–MD0 bits in the MODE register. The channel bits, in association with the communication
register address, allow access to the data contained in the GN0 register. This is a read/write register. The calibration registers can
only be written to if the ADC is inactive (MD bits in the mode register = 000 or 001). Reading of the calibration registers does not
clear the RDY bit. A calibration (self or system) is required when operating with chop mode disabled.
ID Register (ID): (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 1, 1, 1, 1; Power-On-Reset = 4X Hex (AD7718) and 5X Hex (AD7708)
This register is a read only 8-bit register. The contents are used to determine the die revision of the silicon. Table XX indicates the

AD7708/AD7718
Configuring the AD7708/AD7718
All user-accessible registers on the AD7708 and AD7718 are
accessed via the serial interface. Communication with any of
these registers is initiated by first writing to the Communications Register. Figures 16, 17, and 18 show flow diagrams for
initializing the ADC, a sequence for calibrating the ADC channels, and a routine that cycles through and reads all channels.
Figure 16 shows a flowchart detailing necessary programming
steps required to initialize the ADC. The following are the general
programming steps required:
CALIBRATION ROUTINE
WRITE TO ADCCON SELECTING CHANNEL AND CONFIGURING
INPUT RANGE AND UNIPOLAR/BIPOLAR MODE
WRITE TO MODE REGISTER SELECTING

1. Configure and initialize the microcontroller or microprocessor
serial port.
2. Initialize the AD7708/AD7718 by configuring the following
registers:
MD BITS

a. IOCON to configure the digital I/O port.
NO
b. FILTER to configure the update rate for each channel.

c. ADCCON to select the active input channel, select
the analog input range, and select unipolar or bipolar
operation.
WRITE TO MODE REGISTER SELECTING
FULL-SCALE CALIBRATION
d. MODE to configure the operating mode. The mode
register selects chop or nonchop operation, buffered/
unbuffered operation of the AINCOM input, 8-/10channel mode of operation and reference select along
with the selection of conversion, calibration or idle
modes of operation.
MD BITS

All operations consist of a write to the communications register
to specify the next operation as a write to a specified register.
Data is then written to the specified register. When each sequence

Figure 17 shows a flowchart detailing necessary programming
steps required when calibrating the AD7708/AD7718. The
AD7708/AD7718 have dedicated calibration register pairs for
each of the fully-differential input channels. Having a dedicated
register pair per channel allows each channel to be calibrated as
part of the initialization and the ADC picks up the relevant
coefficients for each channel during normal operation. When
operating is pseudo-differential mode channels share calibration
register pairs. Channels that share coefficients should be configured with the same operating conditions to avoid having to
calibrate each time a channel is switched, especially with chop
mode disabled. The AD7708/AD7718 are factory-calibrated
with chop mode enabled and, therefore, if the ADC is operated
at the same conditions as the factory-calibration field calibrations will not be required. Extremely low offset error and offset
and gain drift errors are a by product of the chopping scheme.
When operating with chop mode disabled, the user can achieve
faster throughput times. An offset calibration is required with
chop disabled when a gain or temperature change occurs. The
following are the general programming steps required when
calibrating a channel on the AD7708/AD7718.

1. Write to the ADCCON register to select the channel to be
calibrated, its input range, and operation in unipolar or
bipolar mode.
2. Write to the mode register selecting chop or nonchop mode
of operation, select the reference, buffered/unbuffered operation on the AINCOM, and select zero-scale offset calibration.
Zero-scale calibration can be either self-calibration, where
the ADC determines the zero point internal to the ADC, or a
system calibration where the user must supply the zero-scale
voltage to the input for the duration of the calibration.
4. When the data is read, increment the channel address pointer
to select the next channel, poll the RDY pin, or RDY bit in
the status register, and again read the data. Continue until all
channels have been read.

3. The calibration is initiated following the write to the mode

polling the RDY pin or flag or by monitoring the MD2,
MD1, MD0 bits in the mode register. These bits are reset to
0, 0, 1 when the calibration is complete. The flowchart uses
polling of the mode bits in the mode register to determine
when the calibration is complete.

4. The next step is to perform the full-scale calibration. Full-scale
calibration can be a self-calibration or system calibration.
Using system calibration the user must supply the full-scale
signal to the analog inputs for the duration of the calibration.
Again the MD2, MD1, MD0 bits in the mode register are
monitored to determine when the calibration is complete.

1. The AD7708/AD7718 is put into continuous conversion

3. In this flowchart hardware polling of the RDY line is performed to determine when it is valid to read data from the
converter. When RDY is low, valid data is available in the
data register. The RDY line is set high on a channel change
and will not go low until a new valid data word is available.
Alternatively, the RDY bit in the status register can be polled

AD7708/AD7718
DIGITAL INTERFACE
As previously outlined, the AD7708/AD7718’s programmable
functions are controlled using a set of on-chip registers. 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 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 AD7708/AD7718s serial interface consists of five signals,
CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT and RDY. 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 RDY line is used as a status signal to indicate when data is
ready to be read from the devices’s data register. RDY 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 these devices in
systems where a number of parts are connected to the serial bus.
Figures 2 and 3 show timing diagrams for interfacing to the
AD7708/AD7718 with CS used to decode the part. Figure 3 is
for a read operation from the AD7708/AD7718 output shift
register while Figure 2 shows a write operation to the input shift
register. It is possible to read the same data twice from the output register even though the RDY 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 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 device and the status of the
RDY bit can be obtained by interrogating the STATUS Register. This scheme is suitable for interfacing to microcontrollers. If
CS is required as a decoding signal, it can be generated from a
port bit. For microcontroller interfaces, it is recommended that
the SCLK idles high between data transfers.
The AD7708/AD7718 can also be operated with CS used as a
frame synchronization signal. This scheme is suitable for DSP
interfaces. In this case, the first bit (MSB) is effectively clocked
out by CS since CS would normally occur after the falling edge
of SCLK in DSPs. The SCLK can continue to run between
data transfers provided the timing numbers are obeyed.
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 AD7708/AD7718 DIN
line for at least 32 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset.
This ensures that in three-wire systems, if the interface is lost
either via a software error or by some glitch in the system, it can
be reset back to a known state. This state returns the interface
to where the ADC is expecting a write operation to its Communications Register. This operation resets the contents of all
registers to their power-on-reset values.
Some microprocessor or microcontroller serial interfaces have a
single serial data line. In this case, it is possible to connect the
ADC’s DOUT and DIN lines together and connect them to the
single data line of the processor. A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor should
be used on this single data line. In this case, if the interface is
lost, because the read and write operations share the same line,
the procedure to reset it back to a known state is somewhat
different than previously described. It requires a read operation
of 24 serial clocks followed by a write operation where a Logic
1 is written for at least 32 serial clock cycles to ensure that the
serial interface is back into a known state.
MICROCOMPUTER/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The flexible serial interface allows for easy interface to most
microcomputers and microprocessors. The flowcharts of Figures
16, 17, and 18 outline the sequence that should be followed
when interfacing a microcontroller or microprocessor to the
AD7708/AD7718. Figures 19, 20, and 21 show some typical
interface circuits.
The serial interface on the AD7708/AD7718 is capable 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 serial clock input is a Schmitt-triggered input to accommodate slow edges from optocouplers. The rise and fall times of
other digital inputs to the AD7708/AD7718 should be no slower
than 1 µs.
Most of the registers on the AD7708/AD7718 are 8-bit registers, which facilitates easy interfacing to the 8-bit serial ports of
microcontrollers. The Data Register on the AD7718 is 24 bits
wide, the ADC data register on the AD7708 is 16 bits wide, and
the offset and gain registers are 16-bit registers on the AD7708
and 24-bit registers on the AD7718; however, data transfers to
these registers can consist of multiple 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 AD7708/
AD7718.
Even though some of the registers on the AD7708/AD7718 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 Filter
Register is to be updated, the processor must first write to the
Communications Register (saying that the next operation is a
write to the Filter Register) and then write eight bits to the Filter
Register. If required, this can all be done in a single 16-bit
transfer 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
Filter Register.

AD7708/AD7718 to 68HC11 Interface
AD7708/AD7718-to-8051 Interface
Figure 19 shows an interface between the AD7708/AD7718 and
the 68HC11 microcontroller. The diagram shows the minimum
(3-wire) interface with CS on the AD7708/AD7718 hardwired
low. In this scheme, the RDY bit of the Status 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 RDY output line from the
AD7708/AD7718. The monitoring of the RDY line can be done
in two ways. First, RDY 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 RDY. The
second scheme is to use an interrupt driven system, in which
case the RDY output is connected to the IRQ input of the
68HC11. For interfaces that require control of the CS input on
the AD7708/AD7718, 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.
An interface circuit between the AD7708/AD7718 and the
8XC51 microcontroller is shown in Figure 20. The diagram
shows the minimum number of interface connections with CS
on the AD7708/AD7718 hardwired low. In the case of the
8XC51 interface the minimum number of interconnects is just
two. In this scheme, the RDY bit of the Status 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 RDY output line from the
AD7708/AD7718. The monitoring of the RDY line can be done
in two ways. First, RDY 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 RDY. The
second scheme is to use an interrupt-driven system, in which
case the RDY output is connected to the INT1 input of the
8XC51. For interfaces that require control of the CS input on
the AD7708/AD7718, one of the port bits of the 8XC51 (such
as P1.1), which is configured as an output, can be used to drive
the CS input. The 8XC51 is configured in its Mode 0 serial
interface mode. Its serial interface contains a single data line. As
a result, the DOUT and DIN pins of the AD7708/AD7718 should
be connected together with a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor. The serial
clock on the 8XC51 idles high between data transfers. The
8XC51 outputs the LSB first in a write operation, while the
AD7708/AD7718 expects the MSB first so the data to be transmitted has to be rearranged before being written to the output
serial register. Similarly, the AD7708/AD7718 outputs the MSB
first during a read operation while the 8XC51 expects the LSB
first. Therefore, the data read into the serial buffer needs to be
rearranged before the correct data word from the AD7708/
AD7718 is available in the accumulator.

The 68HC11 is configured in the master mode with its CPOL

68HC11 is configured like this, its SCLK line idles high between
data transfers. The AD7708/AD7718 is not capable of full duplex

BASIC CONFIGURATION
Figure 21 shows an interface between the AD7708/AD7718 and
the ADSP-2103/ADSP-2105 DSP processor. In the interface
shown, the RDY bit of the Status 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
RDY output is connected to the IRQ2 input of the ADSP-2103/
ADSP-2105. The serial interface of the ADSP-2103/ADSP-2105
is set up for alternate framing mode. 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 CS for the AD7708/AD7718 is
active when either the RFS or TFS outputs from the ADSP-2103/
ADSP-2105 are active. The serial clock rate on the ADSP2103/ADSP-2105 should be limited to 3 MHz to ensure correct
operation with the AD7708/AD7718.
The basic connection diagram for the AD7708/AD7718 in 10channel mode is shown in Figure 22. This shows both the AVDD
and DVDD pins of the converters being driven from the analog
5 V supply. Some applications will have AVDD and DVDD driven
from separate supplies. AVDD and DVDD can be operated independently of each other, allowing the device to be operated with
5 V analog supply and 3 V digital supply or vice versa. The parts
can be operated in 8- or 10-channel configurations. In 8-channel
mode the user has two reference input options. This allows the
user to operate some channels in ratiometric mode and others
in absolute measurement mode. In 10-channel mode only one
reference option is available. An AD780/REF195, precision 2.5 V
reference, provides the reference source for the part. A quartz
crystal or ceramic resonator provides the 32.768 kHz master
clock source for the part. In some cases, it will 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.

Analog Input Channels
The input multiplexer on AD7708/AD7718 can be configured
as either an 8- or 10-input channel device. This configuration is
selected using the CHCON bit in the MODE register. With
CHCON = 0 (Figure 23), the user has eight input channels; these
can be configured as eight pseudo-differential input channels with
respect to AINCOM or four fully-differential input channels.
In this configuration the user can select REFIN1 or REFIN 2 as
the reference for the selected channel using the REFSEL bit in
the mode register.

The NEGBUF bit in the mode register is used to control the
operation of the input buffer on the AINCOM pin when configured for pseudo-differential mode of operation. If cleared, the
analog negative input (AINCOM) is unbuffered. It should be
noted that the unbuffered input path on the AINCOM provides
a dynamic load to the driving source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor
combinations on this input pin can cause dc gain errors depending on the output impedance of the source that is driving the
AINCOM input. AINCOM is tied to AGND for single-ended
operation. This enables all pseudo-differential inputs to act as
single-ended analog inputs. All analog inputs still operate in
buffered mode and their common-mode and absolute input
voltage is restricted to a range between AGND + 100 mV and
AVDD – 100 mV.

With CHCON = 1 (Figure 24), the user has 10 input channels
that can be configured as 10 pseudo-differential input channels
with respect to AINCOM or as five fully-differential input channels. The contents of the CHCON bit overrides the REFSEL
bit. If the ADC is configured in five fully-differential or 10 pseudodifferential input channel mode, the REFSEL bit setting is
irrelevant as only REFIN1 is available. Channel selection Bits
CH3, CH2, CHI, and CH0 in the ADCCON register select the
input channel.
The input multiplexer switches the selected input channel to the
on-chip buffer amplifier and sigma-delta converter. When the
analog input channel is switched, the settling time of the part
must elapse before a new valid word is available from the ADC.
If any two inputs are configured as a differential input pair, this
input is buffered and the common-mode and absolute input voltage is restricted to a range between AGND + 100 mV and AVDD
– 100 mV. Care must be taken in setting up the common-mode
voltage and input voltage range to ensure that these limits are
not exceeded, otherwise there will be a degradation in linearity
and noise performance.

Chop Mode of Operation (CHOP = 0)
The signal chain on the AD7708/AD7718 can be operated with
chopping enabled or disabled. Chopping is enabled or disabled
using the CHOP bit in the mode register. The default mode of
operation is for chop enabled (CHOP = 0). Optimum performance in terms of minimizing offset error and offset and gain
drift performance is achieved when chopping is enabled. The
digital filter decimation rate, and consequently the output data
rate, is programmable via the SF word loaded to the filter register.
Output data rates vary from 5.35 Hz (186.77 ms) to 105.03 Hz
f MOD
.
(9.52 ms). The output data rate f ADC =
24 × SF
The overall frequency response from the digital filter with chopping enabled is the product of a sinc3 and a sinc response. There
are sinc3 notches at integer multiples of 3 × fADC and there are
sinc notches at odd integer multiples of fADC/2. Normal mode
rejection is the major function of the digital filter on the AD7708/
AD7718. The normal mode 50 ± 1 Hz rejection with an SF word
of 82 is typically –100 dB. The 60 ± 1 Hz rejection with SF = 68 is
typically –100 dB. Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection of
better than 60 dB is achieved with an SF of 69 and gives a data
update rate of 19.8 Hz and a channel settling time of 101 ms. The
AD7708/AD7718 are factory-calibrated so field calibration will
only be required if the ADC is operated at temperatures that differ
substantially from the factory-calibration conditions.

Nonchop Mode of Operation (CHOP = 1)
Chopping is enabled and disabled using the CHOP bit in the
mode register. Chopping is disabled by loading a 1 to the chop
bit in the mode register. With chopping disabled the available
output rates vary from 16.06 Hz (62.26 ms) to 1365.33 Hz (0.73 ms).
The range of applicable SF words is from 3 to 255. When the
chopping is disabled the channel output data rate is increased by a
factor of 3 compared to the situation when chopping is enabled
and using the same SF word. When used in multiplexed
applications, operation with chop disabled will offer the best
throughput time when cycling through all channels. The drawback
with chop disabled is that the drift performance is degraded
and calibration is required following a gain change or significant
temperature change. The output update and filter decimation
rate is again controlled by the SF word loaded to the filter
register. The digital filter frequency response places sinc3
notches at integer multiples of the update rate. The output
f MOD
. The AD7708/AD7718 are targeted
8 × SF
at multiplexed applications and therefore operating with chop
disabled optimizes channel throughput time. One of the key
requirements in these applications is the selection of an SF word
so as to obtain the maximum filter rejection at 50 Hz and 60 Hz
while minimizing the channel throughput rate. This is achieved
with an SF word of 75 giving 57 dB rejection at 50 Hz, and
60 dB rejection at 60 Hz while offering a channel throughput
time of 55 ms. Using a higher SF word of 151, 50 Hz and
60 Hz rejection can be maximized at 60 dB with a channel
throughput rate of 110 ms. An SF word of 255 gives maximum
rejection at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz but the channel throughput
rate is restricted to 186 ms. Table XXI shows a quick comparison
of normal mode 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection, settling time, and
update rate for a selection of SF words with chop both enabled
and disabled.
ADC INPUT VOLTAGE – mV
19.371
The output from the buffer is applied to the input of the programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA gain range is programmed
via the range bits in the ADCCON register. The PGA has eight
ranges. With an external 2.5 V reference applied, and a PGA
setting of 128, the unipolar analog input range is 0 mV to 20 mV,
while the bipolar analog input range is ± 20 mV. With a PGA
setting of 1, the unipolar and bipolar input ranges are 2.56 V.
When operating with chop mode enabled (CHOP = 0), the ADC
range-matching specification of 2 µV (typ) across all ranges
means that calibration need only be carried out on a single
range and does not have to be repeated when the PGA range is
changed. This is a significant advantage when compared with
similar ADCs available on the market. Typical matching across
ranges is shown in Figure 25. Here, the ADC is configured in
fully-differential, bipolar mode with an external 2.5 V reference,
while an analog input voltage of just greater than 19 mV is forced
on its analog inputs. The ADC continuously converts the dc
voltage at an update rate of 5.35 Hz, i.e., SF = FFhex, 800
conversion results in total are gathered. The first 100 results are
gathered with the ADC operating with a PGA setting of 128.

The PGA setting is then switched to 64 and 100 more results
are gathered, and so on until the last 100 samples are gathered
with a PGA setting of 1. From Figure 25, the variation in the sample
mean through each range, i.e., the range matching, is seen to be
of the order of 2 µV. When operating with chop mode disabled
(CHOP = 1), new calibration data is needed (but not necessarily
a new calibration) to remove offset error when switching channels.
Bipolar/Unipolar Configuration
The analog inputs on the AD7708/AD7718 can accept either
unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges. Bipolar input ranges
does not imply that the part can handle negative voltages with
respect to system AGND. Signals in pseudo-differential mode
are referenced to AINCOM, while in fully differential mode they
are referenced to the negative input of the differential input. For
example, if AINCOM is 2.5 V and the AD7708/AD7718 AIN1
analog input is configured for an analog input range of 0 mV to
+20 mV, the input voltage range on the AIN1 input is 2.5 V to
2.52 V. If AINCOM is 2.5 V and the AD7708/AD7718 is configured for an analog input range of ± 1.28 V, the analog input
range on the AIN1 input is 1.22 V to 3.78 V (i.e., 2.5 V ±
1.28 V). Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming
U/B bit in the ADCCON register. Programming 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.
Data Output Coding
When the AD7718 is configured for unipolar operation, the output coding is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential
input voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a midscale
voltage resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a full-scale input
voltage resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111. The output code for
any analog input voltage can be represented as follows:
Code = (AIN × GAIN × 224)/(1.024 × VREF)
where
AIN is the analog input voltage,
GAIN is the PGA gain, i.e., 1 on the 2.5 V range and 128 on
the 20 mV range.

REV. 0
AD7708/AD7718
The output code for any analog input voltage on the AD7708
can be represented as follows:
Code = (AIN × GAIN × 216)/(1.024 × VREF)
where
AIN is the analog input voltage,
GAIN is the PGA gain, i.e., 1 on the 2.5 V range and 128 on
the 20 mV range.
When an ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the coding is
offset binary with a negative full-scale voltage resulting in a code
of 000 . . . 000, a zero differential voltage resulting in a code of
100 . . . 000, and a positive full-scale voltage resulting in a code
of 111 . . . 111. The output code from the AD7718 for any
analog input voltage can be represented as follows:
Code = 223 × [(AIN × GAIN/(1.024 × VREF)) + 1]
where
AIN is the analog input voltage,
GAIN is the PGA gain, i.e., 1 on the ± 2.5 V range and 128 on
the ± 20 mV range.
The output code from the AD7708 for any analog input voltage
can be represented as follows:
Code = 215 × [(AIN × GAIN/(1.024 × VREF)) + 1]
where
AIN is the analog input voltage,
GAIN is the PGA gain, i.e., 1 on the ± 2.5 V range and 128 on
the ± 20 mV range.
Oscillator Circuit
The AD7708/AD7718 is intended for use with a 32.768 kHz
watch crystal or ceramic resonator. A PLL internally locks onto
a multiple of this frequency to provide a stable 4.194304 MHz
clock for the ADC. The modulator sample rate is the same as
the oscillator frequency.
The start-up time associated with 32 kHz crystals is typically
300 ms. The OSPD bit in the mode register can be used to
prevent the oscillator from powering down when the AD7708/
AD7718 is placed in power-down mode. This avoids having to
wait 300 ms after exiting power-down to start a conversion at
the expense of raising the power-down current.
Reference Input
The AD7708/AD7718 has a fully differential reference input
capability. When the AD7708/AD7718 is configured in 8-channel
mode (CHCON = 0) the user has the option of selecting one of
two reference options. This allows the user to configure some
channels, for example, for ratiometric operation while others can
be configured for absolute value measurements. The REFSEL bit
in the mode register allows selection of the required reference.
If the REFSEL bit is cleared, the reference selected is REFIN1(+)
–REFIN1(–) for the active channel. If this bit is set, the reference selected is REFIN2(+) – REFIN2(–) for the active channel.
When the AD7708/AD7718 is configured in 10-channel mode
(CHCON = 1) the user has only one reference option (REFIN1).
The contents of the CHCON bit overrides the REFSEL bit. If
REV. 0
the ADC is configured in five fully-differential or 10 pseudodifferential input channel mode, the REFSEL bit setting is
irrelevant as only one reference input is available.
The common-mode range for these differential inputs is from
AGND to AVDD. The reference inputs are unbuffered and
therefore excessive R-C source impedances will introduce gain
errors. The nominal reference voltage for specified operation,
VREF, (REFIN1(+)–REFIN1(–) or REFIN2(+)–REFIN2(–)),
is 2.5 V, but the AD7708/AD7718 is functional with reference
voltages from 1 V to AVDD. In applications where the excitation
(voltage or current) for the transducer on the analog input also
drives the reference voltage for the part, the effect of the low
frequency noise in the excitation source will be removed as the
application is ratiometric. If the AD7708/AD7718 is used in a
nonratiometric application, a low noise reference should be
used. Recommended reference voltage sources for the AD7708/
AD7718 include the AD780, REF43, and REF192. It should
also be noted that the reference inputs provide a high impedance,
dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each reference
input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on these inputs
can cause dc gain errors, depending on the output impedance of
the source that is driving the reference inputs. Reference voltage
sources, like those recommended above (e.g., AD780) will typically
have low output impedances and are therefore tolerant of having
decoupling capacitors on the REFIN(+) without introducing gain
errors in the system. Deriving the reference input voltage across
an external resistor will mean that the reference input sees a
significant external source impedance. External decoupling on
the REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins would not be recommended
in this type configuration.
RESET Input
The RESET input on the AD7708/AD7718 resets all the logic,
the digital filter and the analog modulator while all on-chip
registers are reset to their default state. RDY is driven high and
the AD7708/AD7718 ignores all communications to any of its
registers while the RESET input is low. When the RESET input
returns high the AD7708/AD7718 operates with its default setup
conditions and it is necessary to set up all registers and carry out
a system calibration if required after a RESET command.
Power-Down Mode
Loading 0, 0, 0 to the MD2, MD1, MD0 bits in the ADC mode
register places the ADC in device power-down mode. Device
power-down mode is the default condition for the AD7708/
AD7718 on power-up. The ADC retains the contents of all its
on-chip registers (including the data register) while in powerdown. The device power-down mode does not affect the digital
interface, but does affect the status of the RDY pin. Writing the
AD7708/AD7718 into power-down will reset the RDY line high.
Placing the part in power-down mode reduces the total current
(AIDD + DIDD) to 31 µA max when the part is operated at 5 V
and the oscillator allowed to run during power-down mode.
With the oscillator shut down the total IDD is typically 9 µA.
–39–
AD7708/AD7718
Calibration
The AD7708/AD7718 provides four calibration modes that can
be programmed via the mode bits in the mode register. One of
the major benefits of the AD7708/AD7718 is that it is factorycalibrated with chopping enabled as part of the final test process
with the generated coefficients stored within the ADC. At poweron, the factory gain calibration coefficients are automatically
loaded to the gain calibration registers on the AD7708/AD7718.
This gives excellent offset and drift performance and it is
envisaged that in the majority of applications the user will not
need to perform any field calibrations. Also, because factory
gain calibration coefficients (generated at 25°C ambient) are
automatically present at power-on, an internal full-scale calibration
will only be required if the part is being operated at temperatures
significantly different from 25°C.
When chopping is disabled (CHOP =1) the AD7708/AD7718
requires an offset calibration or new calibration coefficients on
range changing or when significant temperature changes occur
as the signal chain is no longer chopped and offset and drift
errors are no longer removed as part of the conversion process.
The factory-calibration values for any one channel will be overwritten if any one of the four calibration options is initiated.
The AD7708/AD7718 offers “internal” or “system” calibration
facilities. For full calibration to occur, the calibration logic 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.
The result of the “zero-scale” calibration conversion is stored in
the Offset Calibration Registers for the appropriate channel.
The result of the “full-scale” calibration conversion is stored
in the Gain Calibration Registers. With these readings, the
calibration logic can calculate the offset and the gain slope for
the input-to-output transfer function of the converter. During an
“internal” zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the respective
“zero” input and “full-scale” input are automatically connected
to the ADC input pins internally to the device. A “system” calibration, however, expects the system zero-scale and system
full-scale voltages to be applied to the external ADC pins
before the calibration mode is initiated. In this way external
ADC errors are taken into account and minimized as a result
of system calibration. It should also be noted that to optimize
calibration accuracy, all AD7708/AD7718 ADC calibrations
are carried out automatically at the slowest update rate with
chop enabled. When chop mode is disabled calibrations are
carried out at the update rate defined by the SF word in the
filter register.
Internally in the AD7708/AD7718, the coefficients are normalized
before being used to scale the words coming out of the digital
filter. The offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the
result prior to the multiplication by the gain coefficient. With
chopping disabled AD7708/AD7718 ADC specifications will
only apply after a zero-scale calibration at the operating point of
interest. From an operational point of view, a calibration should
be treated like another ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration
(if required) should always be carried out before a full-scale
calibration. System software should monitor the RDY bit in the
STATUS register to determine end of calibration via a polling
sequence or interrupt driven routine.
Grounding and Layout
Since the analog inputs and reference inputs 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 AD7708/AD7718 are independent and
separately pinned out to minimize coupling between the analog
and digital sections of the device. The AD7708/AD7718 can be
operated with 5 V analog and 3 V digital supplies or vice versa.
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 these noise sources do
not saturate the analog modulator. As a result, the AD7708/
AD7718 is more immune to noise interference than a conventional
high-resolution converter. However, because the resolution of the
AD7708/AD7718 is so high and the noise levels from the
converter so low, care must be taken with regard to grounding
and layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the ADC should be designed
so the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. This facilitates the use of ground planes
that can be easily separated. A minimum etch technique is
generally best for ground planes as it gives the best shielding.
Although the AD7708/AD7718 has separate pins for analog and
digital ground, the AGND and DGND pins are tied together
internally via the substrate. Therefore, the user must not tie
these two pins to separate ground planes unless the ground
planes are connected together near the AD7708/AD7718.
In systems where the AGND and DGND are connected somewhere else in the system, i.e., the systems power supply, they
should not be connected again at the AD7708/AD7718 or a
ground loop will result. In these situations it is recommended that
ground pins of the AD7708/AD7718 be tied to the AGND plane.
In any layout it is implicit that the user keep in mind the flow of
currents in the system, ensuring that the paths for all currents
are as close as possible to the paths the currents took to reach
their destinations. Avoid forcing digital currents to flow through
the AGND.
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 AD7708/AD7718 to prevent noise coupling.
The power supply lines to the AD7708/AD7718 should use as
wide a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and
reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast
switching signals like clocks should be shielded with digital
ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board
and clock signals should never be run near the analog inputs.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite
sides of the board should run at right angles to each other. This 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.

AD7708/AD7718
The buffer on the negative analog input can be bypassed allowing
the AD7708/AD7718 be operated as eight or ten single-ended
input channels. The PGA allows the user to connect transducers
directly to the input of the AD7708/AD7718. The programmable gain front end on the AD7708/AD7718 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.
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 ceramic
capacitors to DGND. In systems where a common supply
voltage is used to drive both the AVDD and DVDD of the AD7708/
AD7718, 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 AD7708/
AD7718 and AGND and the recommended digital supply
decoupling capacitor between the DVDD pin of the AD7708/
AD7718 and DGND.
Data Acquisition
APPLICATIONS
The AD7708/AD7718 provides a low cost, high resolution
analog-to-digital function. The AD7708 offers 16-bit resolution
while the AD7718 offers 24-bit resolution. The AD7708 and
AD7718 are pin and function compatible. The AD7718 allows a
direct upgradable path from a 16-bit to a 24-bit system with
minimal software and no hardware changes. Because the analogto-digital function is provided by a sigma-delta architecture, it
makes the part more immune to noisy environments, thus making the part ideal for use in sensor measurement and in industrial
and process control applications. There are two modes of operation
associated with the AD7708/AD7718, chop enabled (CHOP = 0)
or chop disabled (CHOP = 1). With chop enabled the signal chain
is chopped and the device is factory-calibrated at final test in
this mode. Field calibration can be avoided due to the extremely
low offset and gain drifts exhibited by the converter in this
mode. While operating in this mode gives optimum performance
in terms of offset error and offset and gain drift performance, it
offers limited throughput when cycling through all channels.
With chopping disabled, the signal chain is not chopped and
therefore the user needs to ensure that the ADC is calibrated on
range changes and if there is a significant temperature change
as the gain and offset drift performance is degraded.
The AD7708/AD7718, with its different configuration options
(five fully-differential input or 10 pseudo-differential input
channels with one reference input or four fully-differential input
or eight pseudo-differential input channels with two reference
inputs), is suited to low bandwidth, high resolution data acquisition systems. In addition, the 3-wire digital interface allows this
data acquisition front end to be isolated with just three optoisolators. The entire system can be operated from a single 3 V
or 5 V supply, provided that the input signals to the AD7708/
AD7718’s analog inputs are all of positive polarity.

The key advantage in using the AD7708/AD7718 with chopping
disabled is in channel cycling applications where system throughput is of prime importance. The max conversion rate with chop
disabled is 1.36 kHz compared with 105 Hz with chop enabled.

The AD7708/AD7718 also provides a programmable gain amplifier, a digital filter, and system calibration options. Thus, it
provides far more system level functionality than off-the-shelf
integrating ADCs without the disadvantage of having to supply a high quality integrating capacitor. In addition, using the
AD7708/AD7718 in a system allows the system designer to
achieve a much higher level of resolution because noise performance of the AD7708/AD7718 is significantly better than that
of integrating ADCs.
Programmable Logic Controllers
The on-chip PGA allows the AD7708/AD7718 to handle an
analog input voltage range as low as 10 mV full scale with VREF
= 1.25 V. The AD7708/AD7718 can be operated in 8-channel
mode with two reference input options or 10-channel mode with
one reference input. Eight-channel mode allows both ratiometric
or absolute measurements to be performed on any channel using
the two reference input options. The differential analog inputs
of the part allow this analog input range to have an absolute
value anywhere between AGND + 100 mV and AVDD – 100 mV.

AVDD
The AD7708/AD7718 is also suited to programmable logic
controller applications. In such applications, the ADC is required
to handle signals from a variety of different transducers. The
AD7708/AD7718’s programmable gain front end allows the
part to either handle low level signals directly from a transducer
or full-scale signals that have already been conditioned. The faster
throughput rate and settling time of the part when operated with
chopping disabled makes this the optimum mode of operation in
PLC applications as an important feature in these applications is
loop response time. The configuration of the AD7708/AD7718
in PLC applications is similar to that outlined for a data acquisition system and is shown in Figure 26. In this application the
AD7708/AD7718 is configured in 10-channel mode, (CHCON
= 1) and can be operated as 10 pseudo-differential inputs with
respect to AINCOM or as five fully-differential input channels.

AD7708/AD7718
Converting Single-Ended Inputs
The AD7708/AD7718 generally operates in buffered mode. This
places a restriction of AGND + 100 mV to AVDD – 100 mV on
the absolute and common-mode voltages that can be applied to
any input on the AD7708/AD7718.
Some applications may require the measurement of analog
inputs with respect to AGND. To enable the AD7708/AD7718
to be used in these single-ended applications, the buffer on the
AINCOM can be bypassed. The NEGBUF bit in the mode
register controls the operation of the input buffer on the AINCOM
input when a channel is configured for pseudo-differential mode of
operation. If cleared, the analog negative input (AINCOM) is
unbuffered, allowing it to be tied to AGND in single-ended
input configuration. If this bit is set, the analog negative input
(AINCOM) is buffered, placing a restriction on its commonmode input range. When AINCOM is unbuffered, signals with a
common-mode range from AGND – 30 mV to AVDD + 30 mV
can be accommodated on this input allowing the end user to
connect the AINCOM input to AGND and perform singleended measurements with respect to this input. This unbuffered
input path on the AINCOM provides a dynamic load to the
driving source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on
this input pin can cause dc gain errors, depending on the output
impedance of the source that is driving the AINCOM input. All
analog inputs still operate in buffered mode and their common-mode and absolute input voltage is restricted to a range
between AGND + 100 mV and AVDD – 100 mV.
Combined Ratiometric and Absolute Value Measurement
System
The AD7708/AD7718 when operated with CHCON = 0 can be
configured for operation as four fully-differential analog inputs or
eight pseudo-differential analog inputs with two fully-differential
reference inputs. Having the ability to use either REFIN1 or
REFIN2 with any channel during the conversion process allows
the end user to make both absolute and ratiometric measurements as shown in Figure 27. In this example a fully-differential
analog input (AIN1–AIN2) is being converted from a bridge transducer in a ratiometric manner using REFIN1 as the reference
input for this channel. AIN3 is configured as a pseudo-differential
input channel using REFIN2 to perform an absolute measurement
on the potentiometer. The REFSEL bit in the mode register is
used to select which reference is used with the active channel
during the conversion process. When the AD7708/AD7718 is
configured with CHCON = 1, only one reference (REFIN1) is
available. The contents of the CHCON bit override the REFSEL
bit. If the ADC is configured in five fully-differential or 10
pseudo-differential input channel mode, the REFSEL bit setting
is irrelevant as only REFIN1 is available.

AD7708/AD7718
Optimizing Throughput while Maximizing 50 Hz and 60 Hz
Rejection in a Multiplexed Data Acquisition System
The AD7708/AD7718 can be optimized for one of two modes
of operation. Operating the AD7708/AD7718 with chopping
enabled (CHOP = 0) optimizes the AD7708/AD7718 for analog
performance over channel throughput. Output data rates vary
from 5.35 Hz (186.77 ms) to 105.03 Hz (9.52 ms). Optimum
performance, in terms of minimizing offset error and offset and
gain drift performance, is achieved as a result of chopping the
signal chain.
With chopping disabled the available output rates vary from
16.06 Hz (62.26 ms) to 1365.33 Hz (0.73 ms). The range of
applicable SF words is from 3 to 255. When the chopping is
disabled the channel output data rate is increased by a factor of
3 compared to the situation when chopping is enabled is
disabled. When used in multiplexed applications, operation
with chop disabled will offer the best throughput time when
cycling through all channels. The drawback with chopping
disabled is that the drift performance is degraded and calibration is required following gain and temperature changes. One
of the key requirements in these applications is to optimize the SF
word to obtain the maximum filter rejection at 50 Hz and 60 Hz
while minimizing the channel throughput rate. This is achieved
with an SF word of 75 giving 57 dB rejection at 50 Hz and
60 dB rejection at 60 Hz while offering a channel throughput
time of 55 ms.
Using a higher SF word of 151, 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection can
be maximized at 60 dB with a channel throughput rate of 110 ms.
An SF word of 255 gives maximum rejection at both 50 Hz
and 60 Hz, but the channel throughput rate is restricted to
186 ms. Table XXI gives a quick comparison of normal mode 50 Hz
and 60 Hz rejection, settling time, and update rate for a selection of SF words with both chopping enabled and disabled.
