The device accepts low level signals directly from a strain gage or transducer and outputs a serial digital word. It employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The input signal is applied to a proprietary programmable gain front end based around an analog modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-chip digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed via the on-chip control register, allowing adjustment of the filter cutoff and settling time. CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation, and a software programmable power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to only 7 mW typical. The part is available in a 24-lead, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic and hermetic dual-in-line package (DIP) as well as a 24-lead small outline (SOIC) package. The part features two differential analog inputs and a differential reference input. Typically, one of the channels will be used as the main channel with the second channel used as an auxiliary input to measure a second voltage periodically. It can be operated from a single supply (by tying the VSS pin to AGND), provided that the input signals on the analog inputs are more positive than –30 mV. By taking the VSS pin negative, the part can convert signals down to –VREF on its inputs. The AD7710 thus performs all signal conditioning and conversion for a singleor dual-channel system. 2. The AD7710 is ideal for microcontroller or DSP processor applications with an on-chip control register that allows control over filter cutoff, input gain, channel selection, signal polarity, and calibration modes. The AD7710 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller based systems. Input channel selection, gain settings, and signal polarity can be configured in software using the bidirectional serial port. The AD7710 contains self-calibration, system calibration, and background calibration options, and also allows the user to read and write the on-chip calibration registers. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 1. The programmable gain front end allows the AD7710 to accept input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer, removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning. 3. The AD7710 allows the user to read and write the on-chip calibration registers. This means that the microcontroller has much greater control over the calibration procedure. 4. No missing codes ensures true, usable, 23-bit dynamic range coupled with excellent ± 0.0015% accuracy. The effects of temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip self-calibration, which removes zero-scale and full-scale errors. REV.

See also Note 16. 2 Applies after calibration at the temperature of interest. 3 Positive full-scale error applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges. 4 These errors will be of the order of the output noise of the part as shown in Table I after system calibration. These errors will be 20 µV typical after self-calibration or background calibration. 5 Recalibration at any temperature or use of the background calibration mode will remove these drift errors. 6 This common-mode voltage range is allowed, provided that the input voltage on AIN(+) and AIN(–) does not exceed AV DD + 30 mV and VSS – 30 mV. 7 These numbers are guaranteed by design and/or characterization. 8 The analog inputs present a very high impedance dynamic load that varies with clock frequency and input sample rate. The maximum recommended source resistance depends on the selected gain (see Tables IV and V). 9 The analog input voltage range on the AIN1(+) and AIN2(+) inputs is given here with respect to the voltage on the AIN1(–) and AIN2(–) inputs. The absolute voltage on the analog inputs should not go more positive than AV DD + 30 mV or go more negative than V SS – 30 mV. 10 VREF = REF IN(+) – REF IN(–). 11 The reference input voltage range may be restricted by the input voltage range requirement on the VBIAS input. –2– REV.

If the analog input is less than negative full scale then the device will output all 0s. 15 These calibration and span limits apply, provided the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative than V SS – 30 mV.

It is specified with an 8 MHz clock for AV DD voltages greater than 5.25 V and less than 10.5 V. 4 CLK IN duty cycle range is 45% to 55%. CLK IN must be supplied whenever the AD7710 is not in STANDBY mode.

When MODE is high, the device is in its self-clocking mode, and the SCLK pin provides a serial clock output. This SCLK becomes active when RFS or TFS goes low, and it goes high impedance when either RFS or TFS returns high or when the device has completed transmission of an output word. When MODE is low, the device is in its external clocking mode, and the SCLK pin acts as an input. This input serial clock can be a continuous clock with all data transmitted in a continuous train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted to the AD7710 in smaller batches of data. MCLK IN Master Clock Signal for the Device. This can be provided in the form of a crystal or external clock. A crystal can be tied across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins. Alternatively, the MCLK IN pin can be driven with a CMOS compatible clock and MCLK OUT left unconnected. The clock input frequency is nominally 10 MHz. MCLK OUT When the master clock for the device is a crystal, the crystal is connected between MCLK IN and MCLK OUT. A0 Address Input. With this input low, reading and writing to the device is to the control register. With this input high, access is to either the data register or the calibration registers. SYNC Logic Input. Allows for synchronization of the digital filters when using a number of AD7710s. It resets the nodes of the digital filter. MODE Logic Input. When this pin is high, the device is in its self-clocking mode; with this pin low, the device is in its external clocking mode. AIN1(+) Analog Input Channel 1. Positive input of the programmable gain differential analog input. The AIN1(+) input is connected to an output current source that can be used to check that an external transducer has burned out or gone open circuit. This output current source can be turned on/off via the control register. AIN1(–) Analog Input Channel 1. Negative input of the programmable gain differential analog input. AIN2(+) Analog Input Channel 2. Positive input of the programmable gain differential analog input. AIN2(–) Analog Input Channel 2. Negative input of the programmable gain differential analog input. Analog Negative Supply, 0 V to –5 V. Tied to AGND for single-supply operation. The input voltage on VSS AIN1 or AIN2 should not go > 30 mV negative w.r.t. VSS for correct operation of the device. Analog Positive Supply Voltage, 5 V to 10 V. AVDD Input Bias Voltage. This input voltage should be set such that VBIAS + 0.85 × VREF < AVDD and VBIAS – VBIAS 0.85 × VREF > VSS where VREF is REF IN(+) – REF IN(–). Ideally, this should be tied halfway between AVDD and VSS. Thus with AVDD = 5 V and VSS = 0 V, it can be tied to REF OUT; with AVDD = 5 V and VSS = –5 V, it can be tied to AGND; with AVDD = 10 V, it can be tied to 5 V. REF IN(–) Reference Input. The REF IN(–) can lie anywhere between AVDD and VSS provided REF IN(+) is greater than REF IN(–). REF IN(+) Reference Input. The reference input is differential providing that REF IN(+) is greater than REF IN(–). REF IN(+) can lie anywhere between AVDD and VSS. REF OUT Reference Output. The internal 2.5 V reference is provided at this pin. This is a single-ended output which is referred to AGND. It is a buffered output which is capable of providing 1 mA to an external load. Compensation Current Output. A 20 µA constant current is provided at this pin. This current can be used in IOUT association with an external thermistor to provide cold junction compensation in thermocouple applications. This current can be turned on or off via the control register. AGND Ground Reference Point for Analog Circuitry. REV. G –7– AD7710 Pin Mnemonic Function 19 TFS 20 RFS 21 DRDY 22 SDATA 23 24 DVDD DGND Transmit Frame Synchronization. Active low logic input used to write serial data to the device with serial data expected after the falling edge of this pulse. In the self-clocking mode, the serial clock becomes active after TFS goes low. In the external clocking mode, TFS must go low before the first bit of the data-word is written to the part. Receive Frame Synchronization. Active low logic input used to access serial data from the device. In the self-clocking mode, the SCLK and SDATA lines both become active after RFS goes low. In the external clocking mode, the SDATA line becomes active after RFS goes low. Logic Output. A falling edge indicates that a new output word is available for transmission. The DRDY pin will return high upon completion of transmission of a full output word. DRDY is also used to indicate when the AD7710 has completed its on-chip calibration sequence. Serial Data. Input/output with serial data being written to either the control register or the calibration registers, and serial data being accessed from the control register, calibration registers, or the data register. During an output data read operation, serial data becomes active after RFS goes low (provided DRDY is low). During a write operation, valid serial data is expected on the rising edges of SCLK when TFS is low. The output data coding is natural binary for unipolar inputs and offset binary for bipolar inputs. Digital Supply Voltage, 5 V. DVDD should not exceed AVDD by more than 0.3 V in normal operation. Ground Reference Point for Digital Circuitry. Terminology Integral Nonlinearity Positive Full-Scale Overrange This is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (not to be confused with bipolar zero), a point 0.5 LSB below the first code transition (000 . . . 000 to 000 . . . 001) and full scale, a point 0.5 LSB above the last code transition (111 . . . 110 to 111 . . . 111). The error is expressed as a percentage of full scale. Positive full-scale overrange is the amount of overhead available to handle input voltages on AIN(+) input greater than AIN(–) + VREF/GAIN (for example, noise peaks or excess voltages due to system gain errors in system calibration routines) without introducing errors due to overloading the analog modulator or to overflowing the digital filter. Positive Full-Scale Error This is the amount of overhead available to handle voltages on AIN(+) below AIN(–) –VREF/GAIN without overloading the analog modulator or overflowing the digital filter. Note that the analog input will accept negative voltage peaks even in the unipolar mode provided that AIN(+) is greater than AIN(–) and greater than VSS – 30 mV. Negative Full-Scale Overrange Positive full-scale error is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110 to 111 . . . 111) from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) + VREF/GAIN – 3/2 LSBs). It applies to both unipolar and bipolar analog input ranges. Unipolar Offset Error Unipolar offset error is the deviation of the first code transition from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) + 0.5 LSB) when operating in the unipolar mode. Offset Calibration Range In the system calibration modes, the AD7710 calibrates its offset with respect to the analog input. The offset calibration range specification defines the range of voltages that the AD7710 can accept and still calibrate offset accurately. Bipolar Zero Error This is the deviation of the midscale transition (0111 . . . 111 to 1000 . . . 000) from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) – 0.5 LSB) when operating in the bipolar mode. Full-Scale Calibration Range This is the range of voltages that the AD7710 can accept in the system calibration mode and still calibrate full scale correctly. Bipolar Negative Full-Scale Error This is the deviation of the first code transition from the ideal AIN(+) voltage (AIN(–) – VREF/GAIN + 0.5 LSB) when operating in the bipolar mode. Input Span In system calibration schemes, two voltages applied in sequence to the AD7710’s analog input define the analog input range. The input span specification defines the minimum and maximum input voltages from zero- to full-scale that the AD7710 can accept and still calibrate gain accurately. –8– REV. G AD7710 CONTROL REGISTER (24 BITS) A write to the device with the A0 input low writes data to the control register. A read to the device with the A0 input low accesses the contents of the control register. The control register is 24 bits wide; 24 bits of data must be written to the register or the data will not be loaded. In other words, it is not possible to write just the first 12 bits of data into the control register. If more than 24 clock pulses are provided before TFS returns high, then all clock pulses after the 24th clock pulse are ignored. Similarly, a read operation from the control register should access 24 bits of data.

This is a one-step calibration sequence, and when complete, the part returns to normal mode (with MD2, MD1, MD0 of the control register returning to 0, 0, 0). The DRDY output indicates when this self-calibration is complete. For this calibration type, the zero-scale calibration is done internally on shorted (zeroed) inputs, and the full-scale calibration is done internally on VREF. 0 1 0 Activate System Calibration. This activates system calibration on the channel selected by CH.

This activates background calibration on the channel selected by CH. If the background calibration mode is on, then the AD7710 provides continuous self-calibration of the reference and shorted (zeroed) inputs. This calibration takes place as part of the conversion sequence, extending the conversion time and reducing the word rate by a factor of 6. The major advantage of using this mode is that the user does not have to recalibrate the device when there is a change in the ambient temperature. In this mode, the shorted (zeroed) inputs and VREF, as well as the analog input voltage, are continuously monitored and the calibration registers of the device are automatically updated. 1 1 0 Read/Write Zero-Scale Calibration Coefficients.

The 12 bits of data programmed into these bits determine the filter cutoff frequency, the position of the first notch of the filter and the data rate for the part. In association with the gain selection, it also determines the output noise (and therefore the effective resolution) of the device. The first notch of the filter occurs at a frequency determined by the relationship: filter first notch frequency = (fCLK IN/512)/code where code is the decimal equivalent of the code in bits FS0 to FS11 and is in the range 19 to 2,000. With the nominal fCLK IN of 10 MHz, this results in a first notch frequency range from 9.76 Hz to 1.028 kHz. To ensure correct operation of the AD7710, the value of the code loaded to these bits must be within this range. Failure to do this will result in unspecified operation of the device. Changing the filter notch frequency, as well as the selected gain, impacts resolution. Tables I and II and Figure 2 show the effect of the filter notch frequency and gain on the effective resolution of the AD7710. The output data rate (or effective conversion time) for the device is equal to the frequency selected for the first notch of the filter. For example, if the first notch of the filter is selected at 50 Hz, then a new word is available at a 50 Hz rate or every 20 ms. If the first notch is at 1 kHz, a new word is available every 1 ms. The settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input change is worst case 4 × 1/(output data rate). This settling time is to 100% of the final value. For example, with the first filter notch at 50 Hz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input change is 80 ms max. If the first notch is at 1 kHz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale input step is 4 ms max. This settling time can be reduced to 3 × l/(output data rate) by synchronizing the step input change to a reset of the digital filter. In other words, if the step input takes place with SYNC low, the settling time will be 3 × l/(output data rate). If a change of channels takes place, the settling time is 3 × l/(output data rate) regardless of the SYNC input. The –3 dB frequency is determined by the programmed first notch frequency according to the relationship: filter –3 dB frequency = 0.262 × first notch frequency. –10– REV. G AD7710 Tables I and II show the output rms noise for some typical notch and –3 dB frequencies. The numbers given are for the bipolar input ranges with a VREF of 2.5 V. These numbers are typical and are generated with an analog input voltage of 0 V. The output noise from the part comes from two sources. First, there is the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices used in the implementation of the modulator (device noise). Second, when the analog input signal is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is largely independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant noise source. Consequently, lower filter notch settings (below 60 Hz approximately) tend to be device-noise dominated while higher notch settings are dominated by quantization noise. Changing the filter notch and cutoff frequency in the quantization noise dominated region results in a more dramatic improvement in noise performance than it does in the device noise dominated region as shown in Table I. Furthermore, quantization noise is added after the PGA, so effective resolution is independent of gain for the higher filter notch frequencies. Meanwhile, device noise is added in the PGA and, therefore, effective resolution suffers a little at high gains for lower notch frequencies. At the lower filter notch settings (below 60 Hz), the no missing codes performance of the device is at the 24-bit level. At the higher settings, more codes will be missed until at the 1 kHz notch setting; no missing codes performance is guaranteed only to the 12-bit level. However, because the effective resolution of the part is 10.5 bits for this filter notch setting, this no missing codes performance should be more than adequate for all applications. The effective resolution of the device is defined as the ratio of the output rms noise to the input full scale. This does not remain constant with increasing gain or with increasing bandwidth. Table II is the same as Table I except that the output is expressed in terms of effective resolution (the magnitude of the rms noise with respect to 2 × VREF/GAIN, the input full scale). It is possible to do post filtering on the device to improve the output data rate for a given –3 dB frequency and also to further reduce the output noise (see the Digital Filtering section). Table I.

Therefore, increasing the reference voltage will give an increase in the effective resolution of the device (that is, the ratio of the rms noise to the input full scale is increased because the output rms noise remains constant as the input full scale increases). 3 For these filter notch frequencies, the output rms noise is dominated by quantization noise, and, as a result, is proportional to the value of the reference voltage.

It contains a sigma-delta (or charge-balancing) ADC, a calibration microcontroller with on-chip static RAM, a clock oscillator, a digital filter, and a bidirectional serial communications port. 10k The basic connection diagram for the part is shown in Figure 3. This figure shows the AD7710 in the external clocking mode with both the AVDD and DVDD pins being driven from the analog 5 V supply. Some applications have separate supplies for both AVDD and DVDD, and in some cases, the analog supply exceeds the 5 V digital supply (see the Power Supplies and Grounding section). The part contains two programmable gain differential analog input channels. The gain range is from 1 to 128 allowing the part to accept unipolar signals of 0 mV to 20 mV and 0 V to 2.5 V, or bipolar signals in the range of ± 20 mV to ± 2.5 V when the reference input voltage equals 2.5 V. The input signal to the selected analog input channel is continuously sampled at a rate determined by the frequency of the master clock, MCLK IN, and the selected gain (see Table III). A charge-balancing A/D converter (sigma-delta modulator) converts the sampled signal into a digital pulse train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. The programmable gain function on the analog input is also incorporated in this sigma-delta modulator with the input sampling frequency being modified to give the higher gains. A sinc3 digital low-pass filter processes the output of the sigma-delta modulator and updates the output register at a rate determined by the first notch frequency of the filter. The output data can be read from the serial port randomly or periodically at any rate up to the output register update rate. The first notch of this digital filter (and therefore its –3 dB frequency) can be programmed via an on-chip control register. The programmable range for this first notch frequency is 9.76 Hz to 1.028 kHz, giving a programmable range for the –3 dB frequency of 2.58 Hz to 269 Hz. –12– ANALOG +5V SUPPLY 10F 0.1F 0.1F AVDD DVDD DRDY DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUT DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUT AIN1(+) AIN1(–) AIN2(+) AIN2(–) AD7710 IOUT ANALOG GROUND AGND DIGITAL GROUND DGND VSS REF OUT REF IN(+) DATA READY TFS TRANSMIT (WRITE) RFS RECEIVE (READ) SDATA SERIAL DATA SCLK SERIAL CLOCK A0 ADDRESS INPUT MODE SYNC +5V MCLK OUT VBIAS REF IN(–) MCLK IN Figure 3. Basic Connection Diagram REV. G AD7710 The AD7710 provides a number of calibration options that can be programmed via the on-chip control register. A calibration cycle may be initiated at any time by writing to this control register. The part can perform self-calibration using the on-chip calibration microcontroller and SRAM to store calibration parameters. Other system components may also be included in the calibration loop to remove offset and gain errors in the input channel, using the system calibration mode. Another option is a background calibration mode where the part continuously performs self-calibration and updates the calibration coefficients. Once the part is in this mode, the user does not have to issue periodic calibration commands to the device or to recalibrate when there is a change in the ambient temperature or power supply voltage. The AD7710 gives the user access to the on-chip calibration registers, allowing the microprocessor to read the device calibration coefficients and also to write its own calibration coefficients to the part from prestored values in E2PROM. This gives the microprocessor much greater control over the AD7710’s calibration procedure. It also means that the user can verify that the calibration is correct by comparing the coefficients after calibration with prestored values in E2PROM. The AD7710 samples the input signal at a frequency of 39 kHz or greater (see Table III). As a result, the quantization noise is spread over a much wider frequency than that of the band of interest. The noise in the band of interest is reduced still further by analog filtering in the modulator loop, which shapes the quantization noise spectrum to move most of the noise energy to frequencies outside the bandwidth of interest. The noise performance is thus improved from this 1-bit level to the performance outlined in Tables I and II and in Figures 2a and 2b. The output of the comparator provides the digital input for the 1-bit DAC, so that the system functions as a negative feedback loop that tries to minimize the difference signal. The digital data that represents the analog input voltage is contained in the duty cycle of the pulse train appearing at the output of the comparator. It can be retrieved as a parallel binary data-word using a digital filter. Sigma-delta ADCs are generally described by the order of the analog low-pass filter. A simple example of a first-order sigmadelta ADC is shown in Figure 5. This contains only a first-order low-pass filter or integrator. It also illustrates the derivation of the alternative name for these devices, charge-balancing ADCs. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER The AD7710 can be operated in single-supply systems if the analog input voltage does not go more negative than –30 mV. For larger bipolar signals, a VSS of –5 V is required by the part. For battery operation, the AD7710 also offers a programmable standby mode that reduces idle power consumption to typically 7 mW. INTEGRATOR COMPARATOR VIN +FS THEORY OF OPERATION DAC The general block diagram of a sigma-delta ADC is shown in Figure 4. It contains the following elements: –FS • A sample-hold amplifier. Figure 5. Basic Charge-Balancing ADC • A differential amplifier or subtracter. • An analog low-pass filter. • A 1-bit A/D converter (comparator). • A 1-bit DAC. • A digital low-pass filter. COMPARATOR S/H AMP ANALOG LOW-PASS FILTER DIGITAL FILTER DAC DIGITAL DATA Figure 4. General Sigma-Delta ADC In operation, the analog signal sample is fed to the subtracter, along with the output of the 1-bit DAC. The filtered difference signal is fed to the comparator, which samples the difference signal at a frequency many times that of the analog signal sampling frequency (oversampling). The device consists of a differential amplifier (whose output is the difference between the analog input and the output of a 1-bit DAC), an integrator and a comparator. The term charge balancing comes from the fact that this system is a negative feedback loop that tries to keep the net charge on the integrator capacitor at zero, by balancing charge injected by the input voltage with charge injected by the 1-bit DAC. When the analog input is zero, the only contribution to the integrator output comes from the 1-bit DAC. For the net charge on the integrator capacitor to be zero, the DAC output must spend half its time at +FS and half its time at –FS. Assuming ideal components, the duty cycle of the comparator will be 50%. When a positive analog input is applied, the output of the 1-bit DAC must spend a larger proportion of the time at +FS, so the duty cycle of the comparator increases. When a negative input voltage is applied, the duty cycle decreases. The AD7710 uses a second-order sigma-delta modulator and a digital filter that provides a rolling average of the sampled output. After power-up, or if there is a step change in the input voltage, there is a settling time that must elapse before valid data is obtained. Oversampling is fundamental to the operation of sigma-delta ADCs. Using the quantization noise formula for an ADC, SNR = (6.02 × number of bits + 1.76) dB, a 1-bit ADC or comparator yields an SNR of 7.78 dB. REV. G –13– AD7710 0 Input Sample Rate The modulator sample frequency for the device remains at fCLK IN/512 (19.5 kHz @ fCLK IN = 10 MHz) regardless of the selected gain. However, gains greater than ×1 are achieved by a combination of multiple input samples per modulator cycle and scaling the ratio of reference capacitor to input capacitor. As a result of the multiple sampling, the input sample rate of the device varies with the selected gain (see Table III). The effective input impedance is 1/C × fS where C is the input sampling capacitance and fS is the input sample rate. –20 –40 –60 GAIN – dB –80 –100 –120 –140 –160 –180 –200 Table III.

First, because digital filtering occurs after the A-to-D conversion process, it can remove noise injected during the conversion process. Analog filtering cannot do this. On the other hand, analog filtering can remove noise superimposed on the analog signal before it reaches the ADC. Digital filtering cannot do this, and noise peaks riding on signals near full scale have the potential to saturate the analog modulator and digital filter, even though the average value of the signal is within limits. To alleviate this problem, the AD7710 has overrange headroom built into the sigma-delta modulator and digital filter, which allows overrange excursions of 5% above the analog input range. If noise signals are larger than this, consideration should be given to analog input filtering, or to reducing the input channel voltage so that its full scale is half that of the analog input channel full scale. This will provide an overrange capability greater than 100% at the expense of reducing the dynamic range by 1 bit (50%). Filter Characteristics The cutoff frequency of the digital filter is determined by the value loaded to bits FS0 to FS11 in the control register. At the maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz, the minimum cutoff frequency of the filter is 2.58 Hz while the maximum programmable cutoff frequency is 269 Hz. Figure 6 shows the filter frequency response for a cutoff frequency of 2.62 Hz, which corresponds to a first filter notch frequency of 10 Hz. This is a (sinx/x)3 response (also called sinc3) that provides >100 dB of 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection. Programming a different cutoff frequency via FS0–FS11 does not alter the profile of the filter response, but changes the frequency of the notches as outlined in the Control Register section. 0 10 20 30 40 50 FREQUENCY – Hz 60 70 Figure 6. Frequency Response of AD7710 Filter Since the AD7710 contains this on-chip, low-pass filtering, there is a settling time associated with step function inputs, and data from the output will be invalid after a step change until the settling time has elapsed. The settling time depends upon the notch frequency chosen for the filter. The output data rate equates to this filter notch frequency and the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input that is four times the output data period. In applications using both input channels, the settling time of the filter must be allowed to elapse before data from the second channel is accessed. Post Filtering The on-chip modulator provides samples at a 19.5 kHz output rate. The on-chip digital filter decimates these samples to provide data at an output rate that corresponds to the programmed first notch frequency of the filter. Because the output data rate exceeds the Nyquist criterion, the output rate for a given bandwidth will satisfy most application requirements. However, there may be some applications that require a higher data rate for a given bandwidth and noise performance. Applications that need a higher data rate will require some post filtering following the digital filter of the AD7710. For example, if the required bandwidth is 7.86 Hz but the required update rate is 100 Hz, the data can be taken from the AD7710 at the 100 Hz rate, giving a –3 dB bandwidth of 26.2 Hz. Post filtering can be applied to this to reduce the bandwidth and output noise to the 7.86 Hz bandwidth level, while maintaining an output rate of 100 Hz. Post filtering can also to reduce the output noise from the device for bandwidths below 2.62 Hz. At a gain of 128, the output rms noise is 250 nV. This is essentially device noise or white noise, and because the input is chopped, the noise has a flat frequency response. By reducing the bandwidth below 2.62 Hz, the noise in the resultant pass band can be reduced. A reduction in bandwidth by a factor of 2 results in a √2 reduction in the output rms noise. This additional filtering will result in a longer settling time. –14– REV. G AD7710 Antialias Considerations The digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer multiples of the modulator sample frequency (n × 19.5 kHz, where n = 1, 2, 3 . . . ). This means that there are frequency bands ± f3 dB wide (f3 dB is cutoff frequency selected by FS0 to FS11), where noise passes unattenuated to the output. However, due to the AD7710’s high oversampling ratio, these bands occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum, and most broadband noise is filtered. In any case, because of the high oversampling ratio a simple RC, single-pole filter is generally sufficient to attenuate the signals in these bands on the analog input and thus provide adequate antialiasing filtering. If passive components are placed in front of the AD7710, ensure that the source impedance is low enough to keep from introducing gain errors in the system. The dc input impedance for the AD7710 is over 1 GΩ. The input appears as a dynamic load that varies with the clock frequency and with the selected gain (see Figure 7). The input sample rate, as shown in Table III, determines the time allowed for the analog input capacitor CIN to be charged. External impedances result in a longer charge time for this capacitor, which may result in gain errors being introduced on the analog inputs. Table IV shows the allowable external resistance/capacitance values that do not introduce gain error to the 16-bit level, while Table V shows the allowable external resistance/capacitance values that do not introduce gain error to the 20-bit level. Both inputs of the differential input channels look into similar input circuitry. AD7710 RINT 7k⍀ TYP HIGH IMPEDANCE >1G⍀ AIN CINT ANALOG INPUT FUNCTIONS Analog Input Ranges Both analog inputs are differential, programmable gain input channels that can handle either unipolar or bipolar input signals. The common-mode range of these inputs is from VSS to AVDD, provided that the absolute value of the analog input voltage lies between VSS –30 mV and AVDD +30 mV. The dc input leakage current is 10 pA maximum at 25°C (± 1 nA over temperature). This results in a dc offset voltage developed across the source impedance. However, this dc offset effect can be compensated for by a combination of the differential input capability of the part and its system calibration mode. Burnout Current The AIN1(+) input of the AD7710 contains a 4.5 µA current source that can be turned on/off via the control register. This current source can be used in checking that a transducer has not burned out or gone open circuit before attempting to take measurements on that channel. If the current is turned on and allowed to flow into the transducer and a measurement of the input voltage on the AIN1 input is taken, it can indicate that the transducer has burned out or gone open circuit. For normal operation, this burnout current is turned off by writing a 0 to the BO bit in the control register. Output Compensation Current The AD7710 also contains a feature that allows the user to implement cold junction compensation in thermocouple applications. This can be achieved using the output compensation current from the IOUT pin of the device. Once again, this current can be turned on/off via the control register. Writing a 1 to the IO bit of the control register enables this compensation current. 11.5pF TYP VBIAS SWITCHING FREQUENCY DEPENDS ON fCLKIN AND SELECTED GAIN Figure 7.

G The numbers in Tables IV and V assume a full-scale change on the analog input. In any case, an error introduced due to longer charging times is a gain error that can be removed using the system calibration capabilities of the AD7710, provided that the resultant span is within the span limits of the system calibration techniques. The compensation current provides a 20 µA constant current source that can be used in association with a thermistor or a diode to provide cold junction compensation. A common method of generating cold junction compensation is to use a temperature dependent current flowing through a fixed resistor to provide a voltage that is equal to the voltage developed across the cold junction at any temperature in the expected ambient range. In this case, the temperature coefficient of the compensation current is so low compared with the temperature coefficient of the thermistor that it can be considered constant with temperature. The temperature variation is then provided by the variation of the thermistor’s resistance with temperature. Normally, the cold junction compensation will be implemented by applying the compensation voltage to the second input channel of the AD7710. Periodic conversion of this channel gives the user a voltage that corresponds to the cold junction compensation voltage. This can be used to implement cold junction compensation in software with the result from the thermocouple input being adjusted according to the result in the compensation channel. Alternatively, the voltage can be subtracted from the input voltage in an analog fashion, thereby using only one channel of the AD7710. –15– AD7710 Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs The two analog inputs on the AD7710 can accept either unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges. Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the B/U bit of the control register. This programs both channels for either type of operation. Programming the part for either unipolar or bipolar operation does not change any of the input signal conditioning; it simply changes the data output coding, using binary for unipolar inputs and offset binary for bipolar inputs. The input channels are differential and, as a result, the voltage to which the unipolar and bipolar signals are referenced is the voltage on the AIN(–) input. For example, if AIN(–) is 1.25 V and the AD7710 is configured for unipolar operation with a gain of 1 and a VREF of 2.5 V, the input voltage range on the AIN(+) input is 1.25 V to 3.75 V. If AIN(–) is 1.25 V and the AD7710 is configured for bipolar mode with a gain of 1 and a VREF of 2.5 V, the analog input range on the AIN(+) input is –1.25 V to +3.75 V. outlined in Tables I and II assumes a clean reference. If the reference noise in the bandwidth of interest is excessive, it can degrade the performance of the AD7710. Using the on-chip reference as the reference source for the part (that is, connecting REF OUT to REF IN) results in degraded output noise performance from the AD7710 for portions of the noise table that are dominated by the device noise. The on-chip reference noise effect is eliminated in ratiometric applications where the reference is used to provide the excitation voltage for the analog front end. The connection scheme, shown in Figure 8, is recommended when using the on-chip reference. Recommended reference voltage sources for the AD7710 include the AD580 and AD680 2.5 V references. REF OUT AD7710 REF IN (+) REF IN (–) REFERENCE INPUT/OUTPUT The AD7710 contains a temperature compensated 2.5 V reference which has an initial tolerance of ± 1%. This reference voltage is provided at the REF OUT pin, and it can be used as the reference voltage for the part by connecting the REF OUT pin to the REF IN(+) pin. This REF OUT pin is a single-ended output, referenced to AGND, which is capable of providing up to 1 mA to an external load. In applications where REF OUT is connected to REF IN(+), REF IN(–) should be tied to AGND to provide the nominal 2.5 V reference for the AD7710. The reference inputs of the AD7710, REF IN(+) and REF IN(–) provide a differential reference input capability. The commonmode range for these differential inputs is from VSS to AVDD. The nominal differential voltage, VREF (REF IN(+) – REF IN(–)), is 2.5 V for specified operation, but the reference voltage can go to 5 V with no degradation in performance if the absolute value of REF IN(+) and REF IN(–) does not exceed its AVDD and VSS limits, and the VBIAS input voltage range limits are obeyed. The part is also functional with VREF voltage down to 1 V but with degraded performance because the output noise will, in terms of LSB size, be larger. REF IN(+) must always be greater than REF IN(–) for correct operation of the AD7710. Both reference inputs provide a high impedance, dynamic load similar to the analog inputs. The maximum dc input leakage current is 10 pA (±1 nA over temperature), and source resistance may result in gain errors on the part. The reference inputs look like the analog input (see Figure 7). In this case, RINT is 5 kΩ typ and CINT varies with gain. The input sample rate is fCLK IN/256 and does not vary with gain. For gains of 1 to 8, CINT is 20 pF; for a gain of 16, it is 10 pF; for a gain of 32, it is 5 pF; for a gain of 64, it is 2.5 pF; and for a gain of 128, it is 1.25 pF. The digital filter of the AD7710 removes noise from the reference input just as it does with the analog input, and the same limitations apply regarding lack of noise rejection at integer multiples of the sampling frequency. The output noise performance Figure 8. REF OUT/REF IN Connection VBIAS Input The VBIAS input determines at what voltage the internal analog circuitry is biased. It essentially provides the return path for analog currents flowing in the modulator and, as such, it should be driven from a low impedance point to minimize errors. For maximum internal headroom, the VBIAS voltage should be set halfway between AVDD and VSS. The difference between AVDD and (VBIAS + 0.85 × VREF) determines the amount of headroom the circuit has at the upper end, while the difference between VSS and (VBIAS – 0.85 × VREF) determines the amount of headroom the circuit has at the lower end. When choosing a VBIAS voltage, ensure that it stays within prescribed limits. For single 5 V operation, the selected VBIAS voltage must ensure that VBIAS ± 0.85 × VREF does not exceed AVDD or VSS or that the VBIAS voltage itself is greater than VSS + 2.1 V and less than AVDD – 2.1 V. For single 10 V operation or dual ± 5 V operation, the selected VBIAS voltage must ensure that VBIAS ± 0.85 × VREF does not exceed AVDD or VSS, or that the VBIAS voltage itself is greater than VSS + 3 V or less than AVDD –3 V. For example, with AVDD = 4.75 V, VSS = 0 V, and VREF = 2.5 V, the allowable range for the VBIAS voltage is 2.125 V to 2.625 V. With AVDD = 9.5 V, VSS = 0 V, and VREF = 5 V, the range for VBIAS is 4.25 V to 5.25 V. With AVDD = +4.75 V, VSS = –4.75 V, and VREF = +2.5 V, the VBIAS range is –2.625 V to +2.625 V. The VBIAS voltage does have an effect on the AVDD power supply rejection performance of the AD7710. If the VBIAS voltage tracks the AVDD supply, it improves the power supply rejection from the AVDD supply line from 80 dB to 95 dB. Using an external Zener diode, connected between the AVDD line and VBIAS, as the source for the VBIAS voltage gives the improvement in AVDD power supply rejection performance. –16– REV. G AD7710 USING THE AD7710 SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Accuracy The AD7710 operates differently from successive approximation ADCs or integrating ADCs. Because it samples the signal continuously, like a tracking ADC, there is no need for a start convert command. The output register is updated at a rate determined by the first notch of the filter, and the output can be read at any time, either synchronously or asynchronously. Clocking The AD7710 requires a master clock input, which may be an external TTL/CMOS compatible clock signal applied to the MCLK IN pin with the MCLK OUT pin left unconnected. Alternatively, a crystal of the correct frequency can be connected between MCLK IN and MCLK OUT, in which case the clock circuit will function as a crystal-controlled oscillator. For lower clock frequencies, a ceramic resonator may be used instead of the crystal. For these lower frequency oscillators, external capacitors may be required on either the ceramic resonator or on the crystal. The input sampling frequency, the modulator sampling frequency, the –3 dB frequency, the output update rate, and the calibration time are all directly related to the master clock frequency fCLK IN. Reducing the master clock frequency by a factor of 2 will halve the above frequencies and update rate and will double the calibration time. The current drawn from the DVDD power supply is also directly related to fCLK IN. Reducing fCLK IN by a factor of 2 will halve the DVDD current but will not affect the current drawn from the AVDD power supply. System Synchronization If multiple AD7710s are operated from a common master clock, they can be synchronized to update their output registers simultaneously. A falling edge on the SYNC input resets the filter and places the AD7710 into a consistent, known state. A common signal to the AD7710s’ SYNC inputs will synchronize their operation. This would typically be done after each AD7710 has performed its own calibration or has had calibration coefficients loaded to it. The SYNC input can also be used to reset the digital filter in systems where the turn-on time of the digital power supply (DVDD) is very long. In such cases, the AD7710 will start operating internally before the DVDD line has reached its minimum operating level, 4.75 V. With a low DVDD voltage, the AD7710’s internal digital filter logic does not operate correctly. Thus, the AD7710 may have clocked itself into an incorrect operating condition by the time that DVDD has reached its correct level. The digital filter will be reset upon issue of a calibration command (whether it is self-calibration, system calibration, or background calibration) to the AD7710. This ensures correct operation of the AD7710. In systems where the power-on default conditions of the AD7710 are acceptable, and no calibration is performed after power-on, issuing a SYNC pulse to the AD7710 will reset the AD7710’s digital filter logic. An R, C on the SYNC line, with R, C time constant longer than the DVDD power-on time, will perform the SYNC function. REV. G Sigma-delta ADCs, like VFCs and other integrating ADCs, do not contain any source of nonmonotonicity and inherently offer no missing codes performance. The AD7710 achieves excellent linearity by the use of high quality, on-chip silicon dioxide capacitors, which have a very low capacitance/voltage coefficient. The device also achieves low input drift through the use of chopper stabilized techniques in its input stage. To ensure excellent performance over time and temperature, the AD7710 uses digital calibration techniques that minimize offset and gain error. Autocalibration Autocalibration on the AD7710 removes offset and gain errors from the device. A calibration routine should be initiated on the device whenever there is a change in the ambient operating temperature or supply voltage. It should also be initiated if there is a change in the selected gain, filter notch, or bipolar/unipolar input range. However, if the AD7710 is in its background calibration mode, these changes are all automatically taken care of (after the settling time of the filter has been allowed for). The AD7710 offers self-calibration, system calibration, and background calibration facilities. For calibration to occur on the selected channel, the on-chip microcontroller must record the modulator output for two different input conditions. These are zero-scale and full-scale points. With these readings, the microcontroller can calculate the gain slope for the input to output transfer function of the converter. Internally, the part works with a resolution of 33 bits to determine its conversion result of either 16 bits or 24 bits. The AD7710 also provides the facility to write to the on-chip calibration registers, and, in this manner, the span and offset for the part can be adjusted by the user. The offset calibration register contains a value that is subtracted from all conversion results, while the full-scale calibration register contains a value that is multiplied by all conversion results. The offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the result prior to the multiplication by the full-scale coefficient. In the first three modes outlined here, the DRDY line indicates that calibration is complete by going low. If DRDY is low before (or goes low during) the calibration command, it may take up to one modulator cycle before DRDY goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress. Therefore, DRDY should be ignored for up to one modulator cycle after the last bit of the calibration command is written to the control register. Self-Calibration In the self-calibration mode with a unipolar input range, the zero-scale point used in determining the calibration coefficients is with both inputs shorted (that is, AIN(+) = AIN(–) = VBIAS) and the full-scale point is VREF. The zero-scale coefficient is determined by converting an internal shorted inputs node. The full-scale coefficient is determined from the span between this shorted inputs conversion and a conversion on an internal VREF node. The self-calibration mode is invoked by writing the appropriate values (0, 0, 1) to the MD2, MD1, and MD0 bits of the control register. In this calibration mode, the shorted inputs node is switched in to the modulator first and a conversion is –17– AD7710 performed; the VREF node is then switched in and another conversion is performed. When the calibration sequence is complete, the calibration coefficients updated, and the filter resettled to the analog input voltage, the DRDY output goes low. The self-calibration procedure takes into account the selected gain on the PGA. System calibration can also be used to remove any errors from an antialiasing filter on the analog input. A simple R, C antialiasing filter on the front end may introduce a gain error on the analog input voltage but the system calibration can be used to remove this error. For bipolar input ranges in the self-calibrating mode, the sequence is very similar to that just outlined. In this case, the two points that the AD7710 calibrates are midscale (bipolar zero) and positive full scale. System Offset Calibration System Calibration System calibration allows the AD7710 to compensate for system gain and offset errors as well as its own internal errors. System calibration performs the same slope factor calculations as self-calibration but uses voltage values presented by the system to the AIN inputs for the zero- and full-scale points. System calibration is a two-step process. The zero-scale point must be presented to the converter first. It must be applied to the converter before the calibration step is initiated and remain stable until the step is complete. System calibration is initiated by writing the appropriate values (0, 1, 0) to the MD2, MD1, MD0 bits of the control register. The DRDY output from the device will signal when the step is complete by going low. After the zero-scale point is calibrated, the full-scale point is applied, and the second step of the calibration process is initiated by again writing the appropriate values (0, 1, 1) to MD2, MD1, MD0. Again the full-scale voltage must be set up before the calibration is initiated, and it must remain stable throughout the calibration step. DRDY goes low at the end of this second step to indicate that the system calibration is complete. In the unipolar mode, the system calibration is performed between the two endpoints of the transfer function; in the bipolar mode, it is performed between midscale and positive full scale. This two-step system calibration mode offers another feature. After the sequence has been completed, additional offset or gain calibrations can be performed by themselves to adjust the zero reference point or the system gain. This is achieved by performing the first step of the system calibration sequence (by writing 0, 1, 0 to MD2, MD1, MD0). This will adjust the zero-scale or offset point but will not change the slope factor from that set during a full system calibration sequence. System offset calibration is a variation of both the system calibration and self-calibration. In this case, the zero-scale point for the system is presented to the AIN input of the converter. System offset calibration is initiated by writing 1, 0, 0 to MD2, MD1, MD0. The system zero-scale coefficient is determined by converting the voltage applied to the AIN input, while the fullscale coefficient is determined from the span between this AIN conversion and a conversion on VREF. The zero-scale point should be applied to the AIN input for the duration of the calibration sequence. This is a one-step calibration sequence with DRDY going low when the sequence is completed. In unipolar mode, the system offset calibration is performed between the two endpoints of the transfer function; in bipolar mode, it is performed between midscale and positive full scale. Background Calibration The AD7710 also offers a background calibration mode where the part interleaves its calibration procedure with its normal conversion sequence. In background calibration mode, the same voltages are used as the calibration points that are used in the self-calibration mode, that is, shorted inputs and VREF. The background calibration mode is invoked by writing 1, 0, 1 to MD2, MD1, MD0 of the control register. When invoked, the background calibration mode reduces the output data rate of the AD7710 by a factor of 6 while the –3 dB bandwidth remains unchanged. The advantage is that the part is continually performing calibration and automatically updating its calibration coefficients. As a result, the effects of temperature drift, supply sensitivity, and time drift on zero- and full-scale errors are automatically removed. When the background calibration mode is turned on, the part will remain in this mode until bits MD2, MD1, and MD0 of the control register are changed. With background calibration mode on, the first result from the AD7710 will be incorrect because the full-scale calibration will not have been performed. For a step change on the input, the second output update will have settled to 100% of the final value. Table VI summarizes the calibration modes and the calibration points associated with them. It also gives the duration from when the calibration is invoked to when valid data is available to the user. Table VI.

G AD7710 The analog and digital supplies to the AD7710 are independent and separately pinned out to minimize coupling between the analog and digital sections of the device. The digital filter will provide rejection of broadband noise on the power supplies, except at integer multiples of the modulator sampling frequency. The digital supply (DVDD) must not exceed the analog positive supply (AVDD) by more than 0.3 V in normal operation. If separate analog and digital supplies are used, the recommended decoupling scheme is shown in Figure 9. In systems where AVDD = 5 V and DVDD = 5 V, it is recommended that AVDD and DVDD are driven from the same 5 V supply, although each supply should be decoupled separately as shown in Figure 9. It is preferable that the common supply is the system’s analog 5 V supply. Span and Offset Limits Whenever a system calibration mode is used, there are limits on the amount of offset and span that can be accommodated. The range of input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes has a minimum value of 0.8 × VREF/GAIN and a maximum value of 2.1 × VREF/GAIN. The amount of offset that can be accommodated depends on whether the unipolar or bipolar mode is being used. This offset range is limited by the requirement that the positive full-scale calibration limit is ≤ 1.05 × VREF/GAIN. Therefore, the offset range plus the span range cannot exceed 1.05 × VREF/GAIN. If the span is at its minimum (0.8 × VREF/GAIN), the maximum the offset can be is (0.25 × VREF/GAIN). In bipolar mode, the system offset calibration range is again restricted by the span range. The span range of the converter in bipolar mode is equidistant around the voltage used for the zero-scale point, thus the offset range plus half the span range cannot exceed (1.05 × VREF/GAIN). If the span is set to 2 × VREF/ GAIN, the offset span cannot move more than ± (0.05 × VREF/ GAIN) before the endpoints of the transfer function exceed the input overrange limits ± (1.05 × VREF/GAIN). If the span range is set to the minimum ± (0.4 × VREF/GAIN), the maximum allowable offset range is ± (0.65 × VREF/GAIN). It is also important that power is applied to the AD7710 before signals at REF IN, AIN, or the logic input pins in order to avoid excessive current. If separate supplies are used for the AD7710 and the system digital circuitry, then the AD7710 should be powered up first. If it is not possible to guarantee this, then current limiting resistors should be placed in series with the logic inputs. DIGITAL +5V SUPPLY ANALOG SUPPLY 10F POWER-UP AND CALIBRATION 0.1F On power-up, the AD7710 performs an internal reset, which sets the contents of the control register to a known state. However, to ensure correct calibration for the device, a calibration routine should be performed after power-up. AVDD DVDD AD7710 The power dissipation and temperature drift of the AD7710 are low and no warm-up time is required before the initial calibration is performed. However, if an external reference is being used, this reference must have stabilized before calibration is initiated. Figure 9. Recommended Decoupling Scheme DIGITAL INTERFACE The AD7710’s serial communications port provides a flexible arrangement to allow easy interfacing to industry-standard microprocessors, microcontrollers, and digital signal processors. A serial read to the AD7710 can access data from the output register, the control register, or from the calibration registers. A serial write to the AD7710 can write data to the control register or the calibration registers. Drift Considerations The AD7710 uses chopper stabilization techniques to minimize input offset drift. Charge injection in the analog switches and dc leakage currents at the sampling node are the primary sources of offset voltage drift in the converter. The dc input leakage current is essentially independent of the selected gain. Gain drift within the converter depends primarily upon the temperature tracking of the internal capacitors. It is not affected by leakage currents. Measurement errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be eliminated at any time by recalibrating the converter or by operating the part in the background calibration mode. Using the system calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors in the signal conditioning circuitry. Integral and differential linearity errors are not significantly affected by temperature changes. POWER SUPPLIES AND GROUNDING Because the analog inputs and reference input are differential, most of the voltages in the analog modulator are common-mode voltages. VBIAS provides the return path for most of the analog currents flowing in the analog modulator. As a result, the VBIAS input should be driven from a low impedance to minimize errors due to charging/discharging impedances on this line. When the internal reference is used as the reference source for the part, AGND is the ground return for this reference voltage. REV. G 0.1F Two different modes of operation are available, optimized for different types of interfaces where the AD7710 can act either as master in the system (it provides the serial clock) or as slave (an external serial clock can be provided to the AD7710). These two modes, labeled self-clocking mode and external clocking mode, are discussed in detail in the following sections. Self-Clocking Mode The AD7710 is configured for its self-clocking mode by tying the MODE pin high. In this mode, the AD7710 provides the serial clock signal used for the transfer of data to and from the AD7710. This self-clocking mode can be used with processors that allow an external device to clock their serial port including most digital signal processors and microcontrollers such as the 68HC11 and 68HC05. It also allows easy interfacing to serialparallel conversion circuits in systems with parallel data communication, allowing interfacing to 74XX299 universal shift registers without any additional decoding. In the case of shift registers, the serial clock line should have a pull-down resistor instead of the pull-up resistor shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11. –19– AD7710 Read Operation Data can be read from either the output register, the control register, or the calibration registers. A0 determines whether the data read accesses data from the control register or from the output/calibration registers. This A0 signal must remain valid for the duration of the serial read operation. With A0 high, data is accessed from either the output register or from the calibration registers. With A0 low, data is accessed from the control register. The function of the DRDY line is dependent only on the output update rate of the device and the reading of the output data register. DRDY goes low when a new data-word is available in the output data register. It is reset high when the last bit of data (either 16th bit or 24th bit) is read from the output register. If data is not read from the output register, the DRDY line will remain low. The output register will continue to be updated at the output update rate, but DRDY will not indicate this. A read from the device in this circumstance will access the most recent word in the output register. If a new data-word becomes available to the output register while data is being read from the output register, DRDY will not indicate this and the new dataword will be lost to the user. DRDY is not affected by reading from the control register or the calibration registers. Data can be accessed from the output data register only when DRDY is low. If RFS goes low with DRDY high, no data transfer will take place. DRDY does not have any effect on reading data from the control register or from the calibration registers. Figure 10 shows a timing diagram for reading from the AD7710 in the self-clocking mode. This read operation shows a read from the AD7710’s output data register. A read from the control register or calibration registers is similar, but, in these cases, the DRDY line is not related to the read function. Depending on the output update rate, it can go low at any stage in the control/ calibration register read cycle without affecting the read and its status should be ignored. A read operation from either the control or calibration registers must always read 24 bits of data from the respective register. Figure 10 shows a read operation from the AD7710. For the timing diagram shown, it is assumed that there is a pull-up resistor on the SCLK output. With DRDY low, the RFS input is brought low. RFS going low enables the serial clock of the AD7710 and also places the MSB of the word on the serial data line. All subsequent data bits are clocked out on a high to low transition of the serial clock and are valid prior to the following rising edge of this clock. The final active falling edge of SCLK clocks out the LSB and this LSB is valid prior to the final active rising edge of SCLK. Coincident with the next falling edge of SCLK, DRDY is reset high. DRDY going high turns off the SCLK and the SDATA outputs. This means that the data hold time for the LSB is slightly shorter than for all other bits.

G AD7710 Write Operation Read Operation Data can be written to either the control register or calibration registers. In either case, the write operation is not affected by the DRDY line and does not have any effect on the status of DRDY. A write operation to the control registers or calibration register must always write 24 bits. As with self-clocking mode, data can be read from either the output register, the control register, or the calibration registers. A0 determines whether the data read accesses data from the control register or from the output/calibration registers. This A0 signal must remain valid for the duration of the serial read operation. With A0 high, data is accessed from either the output register or from the calibration registers. With A0 low, data is accessed from the control register. Figure 11 shows a write operation to the AD7710. A0 determines whether a write operation transfers data to the control register or to the calibration registers. This A0 signal must remain valid for the duration of the serial write operation. The falling edge of TFS enables the internally generated SCLK output. The serial data to be loaded to the AD7710 must be valid on the rising edge of this SCLK signal. Data is clocked into the AD7710 on the rising edge of the SCLK signal with the MSB transferred first. On the last active high time of SCLK, the LSB is loaded to the AD7710. Subsequent to the next falling edge of SCLK, the SCLK output is turned off. (The timing diagram in Figure 11 assumes a pull-up resistor on the SCLK line.) External Clocking Mode The AD7710 is configured for external clocking mode by tying the MODE pin low. In this mode, SCLK of the AD7710 is configured as an input, and an external serial clock must be provided to this SCLK pin. This external clocking mode is designed for direct interface to systems that provide a serial clock output that is synchronized to the serial data output, including microcontrollers such as the 80C51, 87C51, 68HC11, 68HC05, and most digital signal processors. The function of the DRDY line is dependent only on the output update rate of the device and the reading of the output data register. DRDY goes low when a new data-word is available in the output data register. It is reset high when the last bit of data (either 16th bit or 24th bit) is read from the output register. If data is not read from the output register, the DRDY line will remain low. The output register will continue to be updated at the output update rate, but DRDY will not indicate this. A read from the device in this circumstance will access the most recent word in the output register. If a new data-word becomes available to the output register while data is being read from the output register, DRDY will not indicate this and the new dataword will be lost to the user. DRDY is not affected by reading from the control register or the calibration register. Data can be accessed from the output data register only when DRDY is low. If RFS goes low while DRDY is high, no data transfer will take place. DRDY does not have any effect on reading data from the control register or from the calibration registers.

This rising edge of DRDY turns off the serial data output. Figures 12a and 12b show timing diagrams for reading from the AD7710 in external clocking mode. In Figure 12a, all the data is read from the AD7710 in one read operation. In Figure 12b, the data is read from the AD7710 over a number of read operations. Both read operations show a read from the AD7710’s output data register. A read from the control register or calibration registers is similar, but, in these cases, the DRDY line is not related to the read function. Depending on the output update rate, it can go low at any stage in the control/calibration register read cycle without affecting the read, and its status should be ignored. A read operation from either the control or calibration registers must always read 24 bits of data. Figure 12b shows a timing diagram for a read operation where RFS returns high during the transmission of the word and returns low again to access the rest of the data-word. Timing parameters and functions are very similar to that outlined for Figure 12a, but Figure 12b has a number of additional times to show timing relationships when RFS returns high in the middle of transferring a word. RFS should return high during a low time of SCLK. On the rising edge of RFS, the SDATA output is turned off. DRDY remains low and will remain low until all bits of the data-word are read from the AD7710, regardless of the number of times RFS changes state during the read operation. Depending on the time between the falling edge of SCLK and the rising edge of RFS, the next bit (BIT N+1) may appear on the data bus before RFS goes high. When RFS returns low again, it activates the SDATA output. When the entire word is transmitted, the DRDY line will go high, turning off the SDATA output as shown in Figure 12a. Figure 12a shows a read operation from the AD7710 where RFS remains low for the duration of the data-word transmission. With DRDY low, the RFS input is brought low. The input SCLK signal should be low between read and write operations. RFS going low places the MSB of the word to be read on the serial data line. All subsequent data bits are clocked out on a high to low transition of the serial clock and are valid prior to the following rising edge of this clock.

On the last active high time of SCLK, the LSB is loaded to the AD7710. Write Operation Data can be written to either the control register or calibration registers. In either case, the write operation is not affected by the DRDY line and does not have any effect on the status of DRDY. A write operation to the control register or the calibration register must always write 24 bits. Figure 13b shows a timing diagram for a write operation to the AD7710 with TFS returning high during the operation and returning low again to write the rest of the data-word. Timing parameters and functions are very similar to those outlined for Figure 13a, but Figure 13b has a number of additional times to show timing relationships when TFS returns high in the middle of transferring a word. Figure 13a shows a write operation to the AD7710 with TFS remaining low for the duration of the operation. A0 determines whether a write operation transfers data to the control register or to the calibration registers. This A0 signal must remain valid for the duration of the serial write operation. As before, the serial clock line should be low between read and write operations. The serial data to be loaded to the AD7710 must be valid on the high level of the externally applied SCLK signal. Data is clocked into the AD7710 on the high level of this SCLK signal Data to be loaded to the AD7710 must be valid prior to the rising edge of the SCLK signal. TFS should return high during the low time of SCLK. After TFS returns low again, the next bit of the data-word to be loaded to the AD7710 is clocked in on next high level of the SCLK input. On the last active high time of the SCLK input, the LSB is loaded to the AD7710. A0 (I) t 33 t 32 TFS (I) t 26 t 34 SCLK (I) t36 t35 SDATA (I) t 27 MSB LSB Figure 13a.

External Clocking Mode, Control/Calibration Register Write Operation (TFS Returns High during Write Operation) REV. G –23– AD7710 SIMPLIFYING THE EXTERNAL CLOCKING MODE INTERFACE START In many applications, the user may not need to write to the on-chip calibration registers. In this case, the serial interface to the AD7710 in external clocking mode can be simplified by connecting the TFS line to the A0 input of the AD7710 (see Figure 14). This means that any write to the device will load data to the control register (because A0 is low while TFS is low), and any read to the device will access data from the output data register or from the calibration registers (because A0 is high while RFS is low). Note that in this arrangement the user does not have the capability of reading from the control register.

Simplified Interface with TFS Connected to A0 Another method of simplifying the interface is to generate the TFS signal from an inverted RFS signal. However, generating the signals the opposite way around (RFS from an inverted TFS) will cause writing errors. ⴛ3 READ SERIAL BUFFER MICROCOMPUTER/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING The AD7710’s flexible serial interface allows for easy interface to most microcomputers and microprocessors. Figure 15 shows a flowchart for a typical programming sequence for reading data from the AD7710 to a microcomputer, while Figure 16 shows a flowchart for writing data to the AD7710. Figures 17, 18, and 19 show some typical interface circuits. Figure 15 shows continuous read operations from the AD7710 output register, where the DRDY line is continuously polled. Depending on the microprocessor configuration, the DRDY line may come to an interrupt input, in which case the DRDY will automatically generate an interrupt without being polled. Reading the serial buffer could be anything from one read operation up to three read operations (where 24 bits of data are read into an 8-bit serial register). A read operation to the control/calibration registers is similar, but, in this case, the status of DRDY can be ignored. The A0 line is brought low when the RFS line is brought low during a read register. The flowchart also shows the bits being reversed after they have been read in from the serial port. This depends on whether the microprocessor expects the MSB of the word first or the LSB of the word first. The AD7710 outputs the MSB first. BRING RFS HIGH REVERSE ORDER OF BITS Figure 15. Flowchart for Continuous Read Operations to the AD7710 Figure 16 also shows the option of the bits being reversed before being written to the serial buffer. This depends on whether the first bit transmitted by the microprocessor is the MSB or the LSB. The AD7710 expects the MSB as the first bit in the data stream. In cases where the data is being read or being written in bytes and the data has to be reversed, the bits have to be reversed for every byte. Figure 16 shows a single 24-bit write operation to the AD7710 control or calibration registers. This shows data being transferred from data memory to the accumulator before being written to the serial buffer. Some microprocessor systems allow data to be written directly to the serial buffer from data memory. Writing data to the serial buffer from the accumulator generally consists of either two or three write operations, depending on the size of the serial buffer. –24– REV. G AD7710 Table VII shows some typical 8XC51 code used for a single 24-bit read from the output register of the AD7710. Table VIII shows some typical code for a single write operation to the control register of the AD7710. The 8XC51 outputs the LSB first in a write operation, while the AD7710 expects the MSB first so the data to be transmitted has to be rearranged before being written to the output serial register. Similarly, the AD7710 outputs the MSB first during a read operation, while the 8XC51 expects the LSB first. Therefore, the data that is read into the serial buffer needs to be rearranged before the correct data-word from the AD7710 is available in the accumulator.

The DRDY line from the AD7710 is connected to the Port PC2 input of the 68HC11, so the DRDY line is polled by the 68HC11. The DRDY line can be connected to the IRQ input of the 68HC11 if an interrupt driven system is preferred. The 68HC11 MOSI and MISO lines should be configured for wire-OR operation. Depending on the interface configuration, it may be necessary to provide bidirectional buffers between the 68HC11 MOSI and MISO lines. The 68HC11 is configured in master mode with its CPOL bit set to a Logic 0 and its CPHA bit set to a logic 1. With a 10-MHz master clock on the AD7710, the interface operates with all four serial clock rates of the 68HC11.
