PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1
The AD7329 is an 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive
approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS™ (industrial
CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage
CMOS and low voltage CMOS. It enables the development of
a wide range of high performance analog ICs capable of 33 V
operation in a footprint that no previous generation of high
voltage parts could achieve. Unlike analog ICs using conventional
CMOS processes, iCMOS components can accept bipolar input
signals while providing increased performance, dramatically
reduced power consumption, and reduced package size.
1.
The AD7329 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The
AD7329 has four software-selectable input ranges: ±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. Each analog input channel can be
independently programmed to one of the four input ranges.
The analog input channels on the AD7329 can be programmed
to be single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential.
Table 1. Similar Devices
The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The AD7329 also
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is
applied to the REFIN/REFOUT pin, the AD7329 can accept a true
bipolar ±12 V analog input. The ADC has a high speed serial
interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.

5.
The AD7329 can accept true bipolar analog input signals,
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V unipolar signals.
The eight analog inputs can be configured as eight singleended inputs, four true differential input pairs, four pseudo
differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs.
1 MSPS serial interface. SPI®-/QSPI™-/DSP-/MICROWIRE™compatible interface.
Low power, 21 mW, at 1 MSPS.
The MUXOUT± and ADCIN± pins allow for signal conditioning
of the mux output prior to entering the ADC.

Descriptions
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the
AD7329 and frames the serial data transfer.
Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the register
on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Registers section).
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7329. Ideally, the DGND and AGND
voltages are at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7329. All analog input signals and
any external reference signal must be referred to this AGND voltage. Ideally, the AGND and DGND voltages
are at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the AD7329.
The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at the pin. A 680 nF capacitor must be placed
on the reference pin. Alternatively, the internal reference can be disabled and an external reference can be
applied to this input. On power-up, the external reference mode is the default condition (see the Reference
section).
Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.
Positive ADC Input. This pin allows access to the on-chip track-and-hold. The voltage applied to this pin is still
a high voltage signal (±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, or 0 V to +10 V).
Positive Multiplexer Output. The output of the multiplexer appears at this pin. The voltage at this pin is still a
high voltage signal equivalent to the voltage applied to the VIN+ input channel, as selected in the control
register or sequence register. If no external filtering or buffering is required, tie this pin to the ADCIN+ pin.
Analog Input 0 Through Analog Input 7. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold.
The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the channel address bits, ADD2
through ADD0, in the control register. The inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs, four true
differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. The configuration
of the analog inputs is selected by programming the mode bits, Mode 1 and Mode 0, in the control register.
The input range on each input channel is controlled by programming the range registers. Input ranges of
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, or 0 V to +10 V can be selected on each analog input channel (see the Range Registers
section). On power-up, VIN0 is automatically selected and the voltage on this pin appears on MUXOUT+.
Negative Multiplexer Output. This pin allows access to the on-chip track-and-hold. The voltage applied to this
pin is still a high voltage signal when the AD7329 is in differential mode. In single-ended mode, this pin can
either be left floating or tied to AGND. When the AD7329 is in pseudo differential mode, a small dc voltage
appears at this pin, and this pin is tied to the ADCIN− pin.
Negative ADC Input. This pin allows access to the track-and-hold. When the AD7329 is in single-ended mode,
tie this pin to AGND. When the AD7329 is in pseudo differential mode, connect this pin to MUXOUT−. When
the AD7329 is in true differential mode, the voltage applied to this pin is a high voltage signal (±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, or 0 V to +10 V).
Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.
Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC core on the AD7329. Decouple
this supply to AGND.

Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface operates.
Decouple this pin to DGND. The voltage at this pin can be different than that at VCC but must not exceed VCC
by more than 0.3 V.
Serial Data Output. The conversion output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream. The bits are
clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input, and 16 SCLKs are required to access the data. The data
stream consists of three channel identification bits, the sign bit, and 12 bits of conversion data. The data is
provided MSB first (see the Serial Interface section).
Serial Clock, Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK used for accessing the data from the AD7329.
This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.

TERMINOLOGY
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (a point 1 LSB
below the first code transition) and full scale (a point 1 LSB
above the last code transition).
Offset Error
This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation
of the first code transition (00 ... 000) to (00 ... 001) from the
ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in offset error between any two input
channels.
Gain Error
This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation
of the last code transition (111 ... 110) to (111 ... 111) from the
ideal (that is, 4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF − 1 LSB)
after adjusting for the offset error.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in gain error between any two input
channels.
Negative Full-Scale Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and
any of the bipolar analog input ranges. This is the deviation of
the first code transition (10 … 000) to (10 … 001) from the ideal
(that is, −4 × VREF + 1 LSB, −2 × VREF + 1 LSB, −VREF + 1 LSB)
after adjusting for the bipolar zero code error.
Negative Full-Scale Error Match
This is the difference in negative full-scale error between any
two input channels.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode after the
14th SCLK rising edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the
time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±½ LSB, after the end of a conversion.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at
the output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is
dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization
process. The more levels, the smaller the quantization noise.
Theoretically, the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio for an
ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Bipolar Zero Code Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and a
bipolar analog input. It is the deviation of the midscale transition
(all 1s to all 0s) from the ideal input voltage, that is, AGND − 1 LSB.
Bipolar Zero Code Error Match
This refers to the difference in bipolar zero code error between
any two input channels.
Positive Full-Scale Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and
any of the bipolar analog input ranges. It is the deviation of the
last code transition (011 … 110) to (011 … 111) from the ideal
(that is, 4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF − 1 LSB) after
adjusting for the bipolar zero code error.
Positive Full-Scale Error Match
This is the difference in positive full-scale error between any
two input channels.
For a 13-bit converter, this is 80.02 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7329, it is defined as
THD (dB) = 20 log
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
V1
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3,
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the
sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to fS/2, excluding dc) to the rms value of
the fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is
determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, the
largest harmonic could be a noise peak.

Data Sheet
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between any two channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale,
100 kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels and
determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the
selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. Figure 14 shows the
worst case across all eight channels for the AD7329. The analog
input range is programmed to be ±2.5 V on the selected channel
and ±10 V on all other channels.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms
are those for which neither m nor n are equal to 0. For example,
the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), whereas
the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb),
and (fa − 2fb).
The AD7329 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves, whereas the third-order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is
per the THD specification, where it is the ratio of the rms sum
of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of
the sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but
not the linearity of the converter. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a
change in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the
Typical Performance Characteristics section).
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at
full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV sine wave
applied to the common-mode voltage of the VIN+ and VIN−
frequency, fS, as
CMRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/PfS)
where Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output, and PfS
is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output (see Figure 17).

AD7329
THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7329 is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign, bipolar input,
serial ADC. The AD7329 can accept bipolar input ranges that
include ±10 V, ±5 V, and ±2.5 V; it can also accept a 0 V to +10 V
unipolar input range. A different analog input range can be
programmed on each analog input channel via the on-chip
registers. The AD7329 has a high speed serial interface that
can operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.
The AD7329 requires VDD and VSS dual supplies for the high
voltage analog input structures. These supplies must be equal to
or greater than the analog input range. See Table 6 for the
requirements of these supplies for each analog input range. The
AD7329 requires a low voltage 2.7 V to 5.25 V VCC supply to
power the ADC core.

Guaranteed performance for VDD = 12 V to 16.5 V and VSS = −12 V to −16.5 V.
The performance specifications are guaranteed for VDD = 12 V
to 16.5 V and VSS = −12 V to −16.5 V. With VDD and VSS supplies
outside this range, the AD7329 is fully functional but performance
is not guaranteed. When the AD7329 is configured with the
minimum VDD and VSS supplies for a chosen analog input range,
the throughput rate should be decreased from the maximum
throughput range (see the Typical Performance Characteristics
section). Figure 18 and Figure 19 show the change in INL and
DNL as the VDD and VSS voltages are varied. When operating at
the maximum throughput rate, as the VDD and VSS supply voltages
are reduced, the INL and DNL error increases. However, as the
throughput rate is reduced with the minimum VDD and VSS
supplies, the INL and DNL error is reduced.
Figure 23 shows the change in THD as the VDD and VSS supplies
are reduced. At the maximum throughput rate, the THD degrades
significantly as VDD and VSS are reduced. It is therefore necessary to
reduce the throughput rate when using minimum VDD and VSS
supplies so that there is less degradation of THD and the specified
performance can be maintained. The degradation is due to an
increase in the on resistance of the input multiplexer when the
VDD and VSS supplies are reduced.
The AD7329 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter built around two capacitive DACs. Figure 24 and
Figure 25 show simplified schematics of the ADC in singleended mode during the acquisition and conversion phases,
respectively. Figure 26 and Figure 27 show simplified
schematics of the ADC in differential mode during acquisition
and conversion phases, respectively. In both examples, the
MUXOUT+ pin is connected to the ADCIN+ pin, and the
MUXOUT− pin is connected to the ADCIN− pin. The ADC is
composed of control logic, a SAR, and capacitive DACs. In
Figure 24 (the acquisition phase), SW2 is closed and SW1 is in
Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition, and
the sampling capacitor array acquires the signal on the input.

The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The
AD7329 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. However, the AD7329
can also work with an external reference. On power-up, the
external reference operation is the default option. If the internal
reference is the preferred option, the user must write to the
reference bit in the control register to select the internal
reference operation.
Figure 24. ADC Configuration During Acquisition Phase, Single-Ended Mode
When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 25), SW2 opens and
SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become
unbalanced. The control logic and the charge redistribution
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from
the capacitive DAC to bring the comparator back into a balanced
condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion
is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code.

OUTPUT CODING
The AD7329 default output coding is set to twos complement.
The output coding is controlled by the coding bit in the control
register. To change the output coding to straight binary coding,
the coding bit in the control register must be set. When
operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each
channel in the sequence is the value written to the coding bit
during the last write to the control register.
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB
values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size is
dependent on the analog input range selected.

ANALOG INPUT STRUCTURE
The analog inputs of the AD7329 can be configured as singleended, true differential, or pseudo differential via the control
register mode bits, as shown in Table 12. The AD7329 can accept
true bipolar input signals. On power-up, the analog inputs operate
as eight single-ended analog input channels. If true differential
or pseudo differential is required, a write to the control register
is necessary after power-up to change this configuration.
Figure 30 shows the equivalent analog input circuit of the
AD7329 in single-ended mode. Figure 31 shows the equivalent
analog input structure in differential mode. The two diodes
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs.

Care should be taken to ensure that the analog input does not
exceed the VDD and VSS supply rails by more than 300 mV.
Exceeding this value causes the diodes to become forward
biased and to start conducting into either the VDD supply rail or
the VSS supply rail. These diodes can conduct up to 10 mA
without causing irreversible damage to the part.
In Figure 30 and Figure 31, Capacitor C1 is typically 4 pF and
can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of the input
multiplexer and the track-and-hold switch. Capacitor C2 is the
sampling capacitor; its capacitance varies depending on the
analog input range selected (see the Specifications section).
TRACK-AND-HOLD SECTION
The current required to drive the ADC is extremely small when
using the external op amp between the MUXOUT and ADCIN
pins. This is due to the high input impedance of the op amp
placed between the MUXOUT and ADCIN pins. This can be seen
in Figure 32, where the current required to drive the AD7329
input is <0.2 μA when AD8021 is placed between the MUXOUT
and ADCIN pins.
0.20
0.19
The track-and-hold on the analog input of the AD7329 allows
the ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale
amplitude to 13-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the trackand-hold is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC. The
AD7329 can handle frequencies up to 20 MHz.
The track-and-hold enters its tracking mode on the 14th SCLK
rising edge after the CS falling edge. The time required to
acquire an input signal depends on how quickly the sampling
capacitor is charged. With zero source impedance, 300 ns is
sufficient to acquire the signal to the 13-bit level.

The ADCIN pins connect directly to the input stage of the trackand-hold circuit. This is a high impedance input. Connecting
the MUXOUT pins directly to the ADCIN pins connects the
multiplexer output to the track-and-hold circuit. The input
voltage range on the ADCIN pins is determined by the range
register bits for the input channel selected. The user must
ensure that the input voltage to the ADCIN pins is within the
selected voltage range.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
ANALOG INPUT
Figure 34 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7329.
In this configuration, the AGND pin is connected to the analog
ground plane of the system, and the DGND pin is connected to
the digital ground plane of the system. The analog inputs on the
AD7329 can be configured to operate in single-ended, true
differential, or pseudo differential mode. The AD7329 can operate
with either an internal or external reference. In Figure 34, the
AD7329 is configured to operate with the internal 2.5 V reference.
A 680 nF decoupling capacitor is required when operating with
the internal reference.
Single-Ended Inputs
The AD7329 has a total of eight analog inputs when operating
in single-ended mode. Each analog input can be independently
programmed to one of the four analog input ranges. In applications
where the signal source is high impedance, it is recommended
to buffer the signal before applying it to the ADC analog inputs.
Figure 36 shows the configuration of the AD7329 in singleended mode.
V+
The VCC pin can be connected to either a 3 V or a 5 V supply
voltage. The VDD and VSS are the dual supplies for the high
voltage analog input structures. The voltage on these pins must
be equal to or greater than the highest analog input range
selected on the analog input channels (see Table 6 for more
information). The VDRIVE pin is connected to the supply voltage
of the microprocessor. The voltage applied to the VDRIVE input
controls the voltage of the serial interface.

This voltage is set up externally, and its range varies with reference
voltage. As the reference voltage increases, the common-mode
range decreases. When the differential inputs are driven with an
amplifier, the actual common-mode range is determined by the
amplifier’s output swing. If the differential inputs are not driven
from an amplifier, the common-mode range is determined by
the supply voltage on the VDD supply pin and the VSS supply pin.

Pseudo Differential Inputs

The AD7329 can have four pseudo differential pairs or seven
pseudo differential inputs referenced to a common VIN− pin.
The VIN+ inputs are coupled to the signal source and must have
an amplitude within the selected range for that channel, as
programmed in the range register. A dc input is applied to the
VIN− pin. The voltage applied to this input provides an offset for
the VIN+ input from ground or pseudo ground. Pseudo differential
inputs separate the analog input signal ground from the ADC
ground, allowing cancellation of dc common-mode voltages.

AD7329
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
In applications where the harmonic distortion and signal-tonoise ratio are critical specifications, the analog input of the
AD7329 should be driven from a low impedance source. Large
source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the
ADC and can necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated
in the application. The THD increases as the source impedance
increases and performance degrades. Figure 21 and Figure 22
show graphs of the THD vs. the analog input frequency for
various source impedances. Depending on the input range and
analog input configuration selected, the AD7329 can handle
source impedances of up to 4 kΩ before the THD starts to
degrade.
Due to the programmable nature of the analog inputs on the
AD7329, the choice of op amp used to drive the inputs is a
function of the particular application and depends on the input
configuration and the analog input voltage ranges selected.
The driver amplifier must be able to settle for a full-scale step to
a 13-bit level, within 0.0122%, in less than the specified acquisition
time of the AD7329. An op amp such as the AD8021 meets this
requirement when operating in single-ended mode. The AD8021
needs an external compensating NPO type of capacitor. The
AD8022 can also be used in high frequency applications where
a dual version is required. For lower frequency applications, op
amps such as the AD797, AD845, and AD8610 can be used with
the AD7329 in single-ended mode configuration.

Differential operation requires that VIN+ and VIN− be simultaneously driven with two signals of equal amplitude that are 180°
out of phase. The common mode must be set up externally to the
AD7329. The common-mode range is determined by the REFIN/
REFOUT voltage, the VCC supply voltage, and the particular amplifier
used to drive the analog inputs. Differential mode with either an ac
input or a dc input provides the best THD performance over a
wide frequency range. Because not all applications have a signal
preconditioned for differential operation, there is often a need
to perform a single-ended-to-differential conversion.
This single-ended-to-differential conversion can be performed
using an op amp pair. Typical connection diagrams for an op
amp pair are shown in Figure 45 and Figure 46. In Figure 45,
the common-mode signal is applied to the noninverting input
of the second amplifier.

AD7329
REGISTERS
The AD7329 has four programmable registers: the control register, sequence register, Range Register 1, and Range Register 2.
These registers are write-only registers.
ADDRESSING REGISTERS
A serial transfer on the AD7329 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to
determine which register is addressed. The three MSBs consist of the write bit, the Register Select 1 bit, and the Register Select 2 bit. The
register select bits are used to determine which of the four on-board registers is selected. The write bit determines if the data on the DIN
line following the register select bits loads into the addressed register. If the write bit is 1, the bits load into the register addressed by the
register select bits. If the write bit is 0, the data on the DIN line does not load into any register.
Combinations of the write bit, the Register Select 1 bit, and the Register Select 2 bit other than those specified in Table 10 access registers
that are for Analog Devices internal use only. Do not access these registers, as doing so may lead to unspecified operation of the device.

CONTROL REGISTER
The control register is used to select the analog input channel, analog input configuration, reference, coding, and power mode. The
control register is a write-only, 12-bit register. Data loaded on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7329 configuration for the next
conversion. If the sequence register is being used, data should be loaded into the control register after the range registers and the sequence
register have been initialized. The bit functions of the control register are described in Table 11 (the power-up status of all bits is 0).

Description
These three channel address bits are used to select the analog input channel for the next conversion if the
sequencer is not being used. If the sequencer is being used, the three channel address bits are used to
select the final channel in a consecutive sequence.
These two mode bits are used to select the configuration of the eight analog input pins, VIN0 to VIN7. These
pins are used in conjunction with the channel address bits. On the AD7329, the analog inputs can be
configured as eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs,
or seven pseudo differential inputs (see Table 12).
The power management bits are used to select different power mode options on the AD7329 (see Table 13).
This bit is used to select the type of output coding that the AD7329 uses for the next conversion result.
If coding = 0, the output coding is twos complement. If coding = 1, the output coding is straight binary.
When operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each channel is the value written to the coding
bit during the last write to the control register.
The reference bit is used to enable or disable the internal reference. If REF = 0, the external reference is
enabled and used for the next conversion and the internal reference is disabled. If REF = 1, the internal reference is used for the next conversion. When operating in sequence mode, the reference used for each
channel is the value written to the REF bit during the last write to the control register.
The Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 bits are used to control the operation of the sequencer (see Table 14).
This bit selects the state of the DOUT line at the end of the current serial transfer. If the bit is set to 1, the
DOUT line is weakly driven to Channel Address Bit ADD2 of the following conversion. If this bit is set to 0,
DOUT returns to three-state at the end of the serial transfer (see the Serial Interface section).
The eight analog input channels can be configured as seven pseudo differential analog inputs, four pseudo differential inputs, four true
differential input pairs, or eight single-ended analog inputs.

Description
The channel sequencer is not used. The analog channel, selected by programming the ADD2 to ADD0 bits in the control
register, selects the next channel for conversion.
Uses the sequence of channels that were previously programmed in the sequence register for conversion. The AD7329
starts converting on the lowest channel in the sequence. The channels are converted in ascending order. If uninterrupted,
the AD7329 keeps converting the sequence. The range for each channel defaults to the range previously written into the
corresponding range register.
This configuration is used in conjunction with the channel address bits in the control register. This allows continuous
conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels, from Channel 0 through a final channel selected by the channel
address bits in the control register. The range for each channel defaults to the range previously written into the
corresponding range register.
The channel sequencer is not used. The analog channel, selected by programming the ADD2 bit to ADD0 bit in the control
register, selects the next channel for conversion.

RANGE REGISTERS
The range registers are used to select one analog input range per analog input channel. Range Register 1 is used to set the ranges for Channel 0 to
Channel 3. It is an 8-bit, write-only register with two dedicated range bits for each of the analog input channels from Channel 0 to Channel 3.
There are four analog input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. A write to Range Register 1 is selected by setting the write bit to 1
and the range select bits to 0 and 1, respectively. After the initial write to Range Register 1 occurs, each time an analog input is selected,
the AD7329 automatically configures the analog input to the appropriate range, as indicated by Range Register 1. The ±10 V input range
is selected by default on each analog input channel (see Table 15).

Figure 48. Programmable Sequence Flowchart
The AD7329 can be configured to automatically cycle through
a number of selected channels using the on-chip sequence
register with the SEQ1 bit and the SEQ2 bit in the control
register. Figure 48 shows how to program the AD7329 register
to operate in sequence mode.
After power-up, the four on-chip registers contain default
values. Each analog input has a default input range of ±10 V. If
different analog input ranges are required, a write to the range
registers is necessary. This is shown in the first two serial
transfers of Figure 48.
These two initial serial transfers are required only if input ranges
other than the default ranges are required. After the analog input
ranges are configured, a write to the sequence register is necessary
to select the channels to be included in the sequence. After the
channels for the sequence have been selected, the sequence can
be initiated by writing to the control register and setting SEQ1
to 0 and SEQ2 to 1. The AD7329 continues to convert the selected
sequence without interruption if the sequence register remains
unchanged and SEQ1 = 0 and SEQ2 = 1 in the control register.
Rev. C | Page 29 of 38
AD7329
Data Sheet
If a change to one of the range registers is required during a
sequence, it is necessary to first stop the sequence by writing to
the control register and setting SEQ1 to 0 and SEQ2 to 0. Next,
write to the range register to change the required range. The
previously selected sequence should then be initiated again by
writing to the control register and setting SEQ1 to 0 and SEQ2
to 1. The ADC converts the first channel in the sequence.
The AD7329 can be configured to convert a sequence of
consecutive channels (see Figure 49). This sequence begins by
converting on Channel 0 and ends with a final channel as
selected by Bit ADD2 to Bit ADD0 in the control register. In
this configuration, there is no need for a write to the sequence
register. To operate the AD7329 in this mode, set SEQ1 to 1 and
SEQ2 to 0 in the control register, and then select the final channel
in the sequence by programming Bit ADD2 to Bit ADD0 in the
control register.
After the control register is configured to operate the AD7329
in this mode, the DIN line can be held low or the write bit can
be set to 0. To return to traditional multichannel operation, a
write to the control register to set SEQ1 to 0 and SEQ2 to 0 is
necessary.
When SEQ1 and SEQ2 are both set to 0 or to 1, the AD7329 is
configured to operate in traditional multichannel mode, where
a write to Channel Address Bit ADD2 to Bit ADD0 in the control
register selects the next channel for conversion.

AD7329
REFERENCE
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The AD7329 can operate with either the internal 2.5 V on-chip
reference or an externally applied reference. The internal reference
is selected by setting the REF bit in the control register to 1. On
power-up, the REF bit is 0, which selects the external reference for
the AD7329 conversion. Suitable reference sources for the AD7329
include AD780, AD1582, ADR431, REF193, and ADR391.
The AD7329 has an on-chip temperature indicator. The temperature indicator can be used to provide local temperature
measurements on the AD7329. To access the temperature indicator,
the ADC should be configured in pseudo differential mode,
Mode 1 = Mode 0 = 1, which sets Channel Bits ADD2, ADD1,
and ADD0 to 1. VIN7 must be tied to AGND or to a small dc
voltage within the specified pseudo differential input range for
the selected analog input range. When a conversion is initiated in
this configuration, the output code represents the temperature
(see Figure 50 and Figure 51). When using the temperature
indicator on the AD7329, the part should be operated at low
throughput rates, such as approximately 30 kSPS for the ±2.5 V
range. The throughput rate is reduced for the temperature indicator
mode because the AD7329 requires more acquisition time for
this mode.
On power-up, if the internal reference operation is required for
the ADC conversion, a write to the control register is necessary
to set the REF bit to 1. During the control register write, the
conversion result from the first initial conversion is invalid. The
reference buffer requires 500 µs to power up and charge the
680 nF decoupling capacitor during the power-up time.
The AD7329 is specified for a 2.5 V to 3 V reference range.
When a 3 V reference is selected, the ranges are ±12 V, ±6 V,
±3 V, and 0 V to +12 V. For these ranges, the VDD and VSS supply
must be equal to or greater than the maximum analog input
range selected.

ADC OUTPUT CODE
The internal reference circuitry consists of a 2.5 V band gap
reference and a reference buffer. When operating the AD7329 in
internal reference mode, the 2.5 V internal reference is available
at the REFIN/REFOUT pin, which should be decoupled to AGND
using a 680 nF capacitor. It is recommended that the internal
reference be buffered before applying it elsewhere in the system.
The internal reference is capable of sourcing up to 90 μA.

VDRIVE
The AD7329 has a VDRIVE feature to control the voltage at which
the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC to easily
interface to both 3 V and 5 V processors. For example, if the
AD7329 is operated with a VCC of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin can be
powered from a 3 V supply. This allows the AD7329 to accept
large bipolar input signals with low voltage digital processing.

Data Sheet
MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7329 has several modes of operation that are designed
to provide flexible power management options. These options
can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput
rate ratio for different application requirements. The mode of
operation of the AD7329 is controlled by the power management
bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, in the control register as shown in
Table 13. The default mode is normal mode, where all internal
circuitry is fully powered up.
The AD7329 remains fully powered up at the end of the
conversion if both PM1 and PM0 contain 0 in the control
register.
To complete the conversion and access the conversion result,
16 serial clock cycles are required. At the end of the conversion,
CS can idle either high or low until the next conversion.
After the data transfer is complete, another conversion can be
initiated after the quiet time, tQUIET, has elapsed.
NORMAL MODE
(PM1 = PM0 = 0)
FULL SHUTDOWN MODE
(PM1 = PM0 = 1)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate
performance with the AD7329 being fully powered up at all
times. Figure 52 shows the general operation of the AD7329
in normal mode.
In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7329 is powered
down. The part retains information in the registers during full
shutdown. The AD7329 remains in full shutdown mode until
the power management bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, in the
control register are changed.
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, and the
track-and-hold section enters hold mode, as described in the
Serial Interface section. The data on the DIN line during the
16 SCLK transfer is loaded into one of the on-chip registers if
the write bit is set. The register is selected by programming the
register select bits (see Table 10).
A write to the control register with PM1 = PM0 = 1 places the
part into full shutdown mode. The AD7329 enters full shutdown
mode on the 15th SCLK rising edge when the control register is
updated.
If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full
shutdown mode with the power management bits, Bit PM1 and
Bit PM0, set to 0 (normal mode), the part begins to power up on
the 15th SCLK rising edge when the control register is updated.
Figure 53 shows how the AD7329 is configured to exit full
shutdown mode. To ensure that the AD7329 is fully powered
up, tPOWER-UP should elapse before the next CS falling edge.

AUTOSHUTDOWN MODE
(PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)
AUTOSTANDBY MODE
(PM1 = 0, PM0 =1)
When the autoshutdown mode is selected, the AD7329
automatically enters shutdown on the 15th SCLK rising edge. In
autoshutdown mode, all internal circuitry is powered down.
The AD7329 retains information in the registers during
autoshutdown. The track-and-hold section is in hold mode
during autoshutdown. On the rising CS edge, the track-andhold section, which was in hold during shutdown, returns to
track as the AD7329 begins to power up. The time to power up
from autoshutdown is 500 µs.
In autostandby mode, portions of the AD7329 are powered
down, but the on-chip reference remains powered up. The
reference bit in the control register should be 1 to ensure that
the on-chip reference is enabled. This mode is similar to
autoshutdown but allows the AD7329 to power up much faster,
which allows faster throughput rates.
When the control register is programmed to transition to
autoshutdown mode, it does so on the 15th SCLK rising edge.
Figure 54 shows the part entering autoshutdown mode. The
AD7329 automatically begins to power up on the CS rising
edge. The tPOWER-UP is required before a valid conversion, initiated
by bringing the CS signal low, can take place. After this valid
conversion is complete, the AD7329 powers down again on the
15th SCLK rising edge. The CS signal must remain low again to
keep the part in autoshutdown mode.
As is the case with autoshutdown mode, the AD7329 enters
standby on the 15th SCLK rising edge when the control register
is updated (see Figure 54). The part retains information in the
registers during standby. The AD7329 remains in standby until
it receives a CS rising edge. The ADC begins to power up on the
CS rising edge. On the CS rising edge, the track-and-hold,
which was in hold mode while the part was in standby, returns
to track.
The power-up time from standby is 750 ns. The user should
ensure that 750 ns have elapsed before bringing CS low to
attempt a valid conversion. After this valid conversion is
complete, the AD7329 again returns to standby on the 15th
SCLK rising edge. The CS signal must remain low to keep the
part in standby mode.
Figure 54 shows the part entering autoshutdown mode. The
sequence of events is the same when entering autostandby
mode. In Figure 54, the power management bits are configured
for autoshutdown. For autostandby mode, the power
management bits, PM1 and PM0, should be set to 0 and 1,
respectively.

POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
20
The power consumption of the AD7329 varies with throughput
rate. The static power consumed by the AD7329 is very low, and
significant power savings can be achieved as the throughput rate is
reduced. Figure 55 and Figure 56 show the power vs. throughput
rate for the AD7329 at a VCC of 3 V and 5 V, respectively. Both
plots clearly show that the average power consumed by the AD7329
is greatly reduced as the sample frequency is reduced. This is true
whether a fixed SCLK value is used or if the SCLK value is scaled
with the sampling frequency. Figure 55 and Figure 56 show the
power consumption when operating the device in normal mode
for a fixed 20 MHz SCLK and a variable SCLK that scales with
the sampling frequency.

AD7329
SERIAL INTERFACE
Figure 57 shows the timing diagram for the serial interface of
the AD7329. The serial clock applied to the SCLK pin provides
the conversion clock and controls the transfer of information to
and from the AD7329 during a conversion.
The CS signal initiates the data transfer and the conversion
process. The falling edge of CS puts the track-and-hold section
into hold mode and takes the bus out of three-state. The analog
input signal is then sampled. Once the conversion is initiated,
16 SCLK cycles are required for the conversion to complete.
The track-and-hold section goes back into track mode on the
14th SCLK rising edge. On the 16th SCLK falling edge, the
DOUT line returns to three-state. If the rising edge of CS occurs
before 16 SCLK cycles have elapsed, the conversion is
terminated and the DOUT line returns to three-state. Depending
on where the CS signal is brought high, the addressed register
may update.
Data is clocked into the AD7329 on the SCLK falling edge. The
three MSBs on the DIN line are decoded to select which register
is addressed. The control register is a 12-bit register. If the
control register is addressed by the three MSBs, the data on the
DIN line is loaded into the control on the 15th SCLK rising edge.
If the sequence register or either of the range registers is
addressed, the data on the DIN line is loaded into the addressed
register on the 11th SCLK falling edge.
Conversion data is clocked out of the AD7329 on each SCLK
falling edge. Data on the DOUT line consists of three channel
identifier bits, a sign bit, and a 12-bit conversion result. The
channel identifier bits are used to indicate which channel
corresponds to the conversion result.
If the Weak/Three-State bit is set in the control register, rather
than returning to true three-state upon the 16th SCLK falling
edge, the DOUT line is pulled weakly to the logic level
corresponding to ADD3 of the next serial transfer. This is done
to ensure that the MSB of the next serial transfer is set up in
time for the first SCLK falling edge after the CS falling edge. If
the Weak/Three-State bit is set to 0 and the DOUT line returns
to true three-state between conversions, then depending on the
particular processor interfacing to the AD7329, the ADD3 bit
may be valid in time for the processor to clock it in successfully.
If the Weak/Three-State bit is set to 1, then although the DOUT
line has been driven to ADD3 since the previous conversion, it
is nevertheless so weakly driven that another device could take
control of the bus. This will not lead to a bus contention issue
because, for example, a 10 kΩ pull-up or pull-down resister is
sufficient to overdrive the logic level of ADD3. When the
Weak/Three-State bit is set to 1, the ADD3 is typically valid 9 ns
after the CS falling edge, compared with 14 ns when the DOUT
line returns to three-state at the end of the conversion.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7329 allows the part to be directly
connected to a range of different microprocessors. This section
explains how to interface the AD7329 with some of the most
common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.
AD7329 TO ADSP-21xx
The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs interfaces directly to the AD7329
without requiring glue logic. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7329 takes
the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP-21xx. This allows
the ADC to operate at a higher supply voltage than its serial
interface. The SPORT0 on the ADSP-21xx should be configured
as shown in Table 16.

AD7329 TO ADSP-BF53x
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 58. The ADSP-21xx
has TFS0 and RFS0 tied together. TFS0 is set as an output, and
RFS0 is set as an input. The DSP operates in alternative framing
mode, and the SPORT0 control register is set up as described in
Table 16. The frame synchronization signal generated on TFS is
tied to CS and, as with all signal processing applications, requires
equidistant sampling. However, as in this example, the timer
interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC, and
under certain conditions equidistant sampling cannot be achieved.
The ADSP-BF53x family of DSPs interfaces directly to the
AD7329 without requiring glue logic, as shown in Figure 59.
The SPORT0 Receive Configuration 1 register should be set up
as outlined in Table 17.

For example, if the ADSP-21xx has a master clock frequency of
16 MHz and the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3,
an SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods
elapse for every one SCLK period. If the timer registers are
loaded with the value 803, 100.5 SCLKs occur between
interrupts and, subsequently, between transmit instructions.
This situation leads to nonequidistant sampling because the
transmit instruction occurs on an SCLK edge. If the number of
SCLKs between interrupts is an integer of N, equidistant
sampling is implemented by the DSP.

Setting
TFSW = RFSW = 1
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1
DTYPE = 00
SLEN = 1111
ISCLK = 1
TFSR = RFSR = 1
IRFS = 0
ITFS = 1
The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register.
When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (AX0 =
TX0), the state of the serial clock is checked. The DSP waits
until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high again before
starting the transmission. If the timer and SCLK are chosen so
that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising
edge of SCLK, data can be transmitted immediately or at the
next clock edge.
Figure 58. Interfacing the AD7329 to the ADSP-21xx
The timer registers are loaded with a value that provides an
interrupt at the required sampling interval. When an interrupt
is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control
word). The TFS is used to control the RFS and, hence, the
reading of data.

AD7329
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7329 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are confined to
certain areas of the board. This design facilitates the use of ground
planes that can be easily separated.
To provide optimum shielding for ground planes, a minimum
etch technique is generally best. All AGND pins on the AD7329
should be connected to the AGND plane. Digital and analog
ground pins should be joined in only one place. If the AD7329
is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND and
DGND connection, the connection should still be made at only
one point. A star point should be established as close as possible
to the ground pins on the AD7329.
These low ESR, low ESI capacitors provide a low impedance
path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents
due to internal logic switching.
POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION
It is recommended that Schottky diodes be placed in series with
the AD7329 VDD and VSS supply signals. Figure 60 shows this
Schottky diode configuration. BAT43 Schottky diodes are used.
VIN0
To avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, components, such as clocks, with fast switching signals should be
shielded with digital ground and never run near the analog inputs.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. To reduce the effects
of feedthrough within the board, traces should be run at right
angles to each other. A microstrip technique is the best method,
but its use may not be possible with a double-sided board. In
this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to
ground planes, and signals are placed on the other side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should
be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum capacitors in parallel with
0.1 µF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best results from
these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as
possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The
0.1 µF capacitors should have a low effective series resistance
(ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI), such as is typical
of common ceramic and surface-mount types of capacitors.

Good connections should be made to the power and ground
planes. This can be done with a single via or multiple vias for
each supply and ground pin.
Avoid running digital lines under the AD7329 device because
this couples noise onto the die. However, the analog ground
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7329 to avoid
noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7329 device
should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance
paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line.

In an application where nonsymmetrical VDD and VSS supplies
are used, adhere to the guidelines provided in Table 18, which
outlines the VSS supply range that can be used for various VDD
voltages when nonsymmetrical supplies are required. When
operating the AD7329 with low VDD and VSS voltages, it is
recommended that these supplies be symmetrical.
