GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD7621 is a 16-bit, 3 MSPS, charge redistribution SAR,
fully differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that
operates from a single 2.5 V power supply. It contains a high
speed 16-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, an
internal reference (and buffer), error correction circuits, and
both serial and parallel system interface ports. It features two
very high sampling rate modes (wideband warp and warp), a
fast mode (normal) for asynchronous rate applications, and a
reduced power mode (impulse) for low power applications
where the power is scaled with the throughput. Operation is
specified from −40°C to +85°C.
1.
Fast Throughput.
The AD7621 is a 3 MSPS, charge redistribution,
16-bit SAR ADC.
2.
Superior Linearity.
The AD7621 has no missing 16-bit code.
3.
Internal Reference.
The AD7621 has a 2.048 V internal reference with a
typical drift of ±7 ppm/°C.
4.
Single-Supply Operation.
The AD7621 operates from a 2.5 V single supply and
typically dissipates 65 mW. In impulse mode, its power
dissipation decreases with the throughput.
5.
Serial or Parallel Interface.
Versatile parallel (16- or 8-bit bus) or 2-wire serial interface
arrangement compatible with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic.

Description
Analog Power Ground Pin.
Input Analog Power Pins. Nominally 2.5 V.
No Connect.
Parallel Mode Selection (8-Bit/16-Bit). When high, the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output
on D[7:0]; when low, the LSB is output on D[7:0] and the MSB is output on D[15:8].
Straight Binary/Binary Twos Complement Output. When high, the digital output is straight binary;
when low, the MSB is inverted resulting in a twos complement output from its internal shift register.
Conversion Mode Selection. When WARP = high and IMPULSE = high, this selects wideband mode
with slightly improved linearity and THD. When WARP = high and IMPULSE = low, this selects warp
mode. In either mode, these are the fastest modes; maximum throughput is achievable, and a
minimum conversion rate must be applied in order to guarantee full specified accuracy.
When WARP = low and IMPULSE = low, this input selects normal mode where full accuracy is
maintained independent of the minimum conversion rate.
Conversion Mode Selection. When IMPULSE = high and WARP = low, this input selects impulse mode,
a reduced power mode. In this mode, the power dissipation is approximately proportional to the
sampling rate.
Serial/Parallel Selection Input. When high, the serial interface is selected and some bits of the data bus
are used as a serial port; the remaining data bits are high impedance outputs. When SER/PAR = low,
the parallel port is selected.
Bit 0 and Bit 1 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR = low, these outputs are used as Bit 2 and Bit 3 of the parallel port data output bus.
When SER/PAR = high, serial clock division selection. When using serial master read after convert
mode (EXT/INT = low, RDC/SDIN = low) these inputs can be used to slow down the internally
generated serial clock that clocks the data output. In other serial modes, these pins are high
impedance outputs.
When SER/PAR = low, this output is used as Bit 4 of the parallel port data output bus.
When SER/PAR = high, serial clock source select. This input is used to select the internally generated
(master ) or external (slave) serial data clock.
When EXT/INT = low: master mode. The internal serial clock is selected on SCLK output.
When EXT/INT = high: slave mode. The output data is synchronized to an external clock signal, gated
by CS, connected to the SCLK input.

Description
When SER/PAR = low this output is used as Bit 5 of the parallel port data output bus.
When SER/PAR = high, invert sync select. In serial master mode (EXT/INT = low), this input is used to
select the active state of the SYNC signal.
When INVSYNC = low, SYNC is active high.
When INVSYNC = high, SYNC is active low.
When SER/PAR = low this output is used as Bit 6 of the parallel port data output bus.
Invert SCLK Select. In all serial modes, this input is used to invert the SCLK signal.
Bit 7 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
When SER/PAR = high, read during convert. When using Serial Master mode (EXT/INT = low), RDC is
used to select the read mode.
When RDC = high, the previous conversion result is read during current conversion and the period of
SCLK changes (see the Master Serial Interface section).
When RDC = low (read after convert), the current result is read after conversion.
Serial Data In. When using serial slave mode, (EXT/INT = high), SDIN could be used as a data input to
daisy-chain the conversion results from two or more ADCs onto a single SDOUT line. The digital data
level on SDIN is output on SDOUT with a delay of 16 SCLK periods after the initiation of the read
sequence.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power Ground.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the supply of the host interface
(2.5 V or 3 V).
Digital Power. Nominally at 2.5 V.
Digital Power Ground.
When SER/PAR = low this output is used as Bit 8 of the parallel port data output bus.
When SER/PAR = high, serial data output. In serial mode, this pin is used as the serial data output
synchronized to SCLK. Conversion results are stored in an on-chip register. The AD7621 provides the
conversion result, MSB first, from its internal shift register. The data format is determined by the logic
level of OB/2C.
In master mode (EXT/INT = low). SDOUT is valid on both edges of SCLK.
In slave mode (EXT/INT = high):
When INVSCLK = low, SDOUT is updated on SCLK rising edge and valid on the next falling edge.
When INVSCLK = high, SDOUT is updated on SCLK falling edge and valid on the next rising edge.
Parallel Port Data Output Bus Bit 9. When SER/PAR = low, this output is used as Bit 9 of the parallel port
data output bus.
Serial Clock. When SER/PAR = high, serial clock. In all serial modes, this pin is used as the serial data
clock input or output, dependent upon the logic state of the EXT/INT pin. The active edge where the
data SDOUT is updated depends upon the logic state of the INVSCLK pin.
When SER/PAR = low, this output is used as Bit 10 of the parallel port data output bus.
When SER/PAR = high, frame synchronization. In serial master mode (EXT/INT= low), this output is
used as a digital output frame synchronization for use with the internal data clock.
When a read sequence is initiated and INVSYNC = low, SYNC is driven high and remains high while
SDOUT output is valid.
When a read sequence is initiated and INVSYNC = high, SYNC is driven low and remains low while
SDOUT output is valid.
Parallel Port Data Output Bus Bit 11. When SER/PAR = low, this output is used as Bit 11 of the parallel
port data output bus.
Read Error. When SER/PAR = high, read error. In serial slave mode (EXT/INT = high), this output is used
as an incomplete read error flag. If a data read is started and not completed when the current
conversion is complete, the current data is lost and RDERROR is pulsed high.
Bit 12 to Bit 15 of the Parallel Port Data Output Bus.
Busy Output. Transitions high when a conversion is started, and remains high until the conversion is
complete and the data is latched into the on-chip shift register. The falling edge of BUSY can be used
as a data ready clock signal.
Digital Power Ground.
Read Data. When CS and RD are both low, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled.

Description
Chip Select. When CS and RD are both low, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled. CS is
also used to gate the external clock in slave serial mode.
Reset Input. When high, reset the AD7621. Current conversion if any is aborted. Falling edge of RESET
enables the calibration mode indicated by pulsing BUSY high. Refer to the Digital Interface section. If
not used, this pin can be tied to DGND.
Power-Down Input. When high, power down the ADC. Power consumption is reduced and
conversions are inhibited after the current one is completed.
Conversion Start. A falling edge on CNVST puts the internal sample-and-hold into the hold state and
initiates a conversion.
Analog Power Ground Pin.
Reference Output/Input.
When PDREF/PDBUF = low, the internal reference and buffer are enabled producing 2.048 V on this pin.
When PDREF/PDBUF = high, the internal reference and buffer are disabled allowing an externally
supplied voltage reference up to AVDD volts. Decoupling is required with or without the internal
reference and buffer. Refer to the Voltage Reference Input section.
Reference Input Analog Ground.
Differential Negative Analog Input.
Differential Positive Analog Input.
Temperature Sensor Analog Output.
Internal Reference Output/Reference Buffer Input.
When PDREF/PDBUF = low, the internal reference and buffer are enabled producing the 1.2 V
(typical) bandgap output on this pin, which needs external decoupling. The internal fixed gain
reference buffer uses this to produce 2.048V on the REF pin.
When using an external reference with the internal reference buffer (PDBUF = low, PDREF = high),
applying 1.2 V on this pin produces 2.048 V on the REF pin. Refer to the Voltage Reference Input section.
Internal Reference Power-Down Input.
When low, the internal reference is enabled.
When high, the internal reference is powered down and an external reference must been used.
Internal Reference Buffer Power-Down Input.
When low, the buffer is enabled (must be low when using internal reference).
When high, the buffer is powered-down.
AI = analog input; AI/O = bidirectional analog; AO = analog output; DI = digital input; DI/O = bidirectional digital; DO = digital output; P = power.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code
from a line drawn from negative full-scale through positive fullscale. The point used as negative full-scale occurs ½ LSB before
the first code transition. Positive full-scale is defined as a level
1½ LSBs beyond the last code transition. The deviation is
measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 000…00 to 000…01) should occur for
an analog voltage ½ LSB above the nominal negative full-scale
(−2.0479688 V for the ±2.048 V range). The last transition
(from 111…10 to 111…11) should occur for an analog voltage
1½ LSBs below the nominal full-scale (2.0479531 V for the
±2.048 V range). The gain error is the deviation of the
difference between the actual level of the last transition and the
actual level of the first transition from the difference between
the ideal levels.
Zero Error
The zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale
input voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the
midscale output code.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full-scale to
the rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD and is expressed in bits by
ENOB = [(SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02]
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance
measured from the falling edge of the CNVST input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
The time required for the AD7621 to achieve its rated accuracy
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.
Reference Voltage Temperature Coefficient
Reference voltage temperature coefficient is derived from the
typical shift of output voltage at 25°C on a sample of parts at the
maximum and minimum reference output voltage (VREF)
measured at TMIN, T(25°C), and TMAX. It is expressed in ppm/°C as
TCVREF (ppm/°C ) =
VREF ( Max) – VREF ( Min)
× 10 6
VREF (25°C ) × (TMAX – TMIN )
where:
VREF (Max) = maximum VREF at TMIN, T (25°C), or TMAX
VREF (Min) = minimum VREF at TMIN, T (25°C), or TMAX
VREF (25°C) = VREF at 25°C
TMAX = +85°C
TMIN = –40°C
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in decibels.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7621 is a very fast, low power, single-supply, precise,
16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using successive
approximation architecture. The AD7621 features different
modes to optimize performances according to the applications.
In warp mode, the AD7621 is capable of converting 3,000,000
samples per second (3 MSPS).
The AD7621 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold,
successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any
pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed
channel applications.
The AD7621 can be operated from a single 2.5 V supply and
be interfaced to either 5 V, 3.3 V, or 2.5 V digital logic. It
is housed in 48-lead LQFP or tiny LFCSP packages that
combine space savings with flexibility, allowing the AD7621
to be configured as either a serial or parallel interface. The
AD7621 is pin-to-pin-compatible with, and a speed upgrade
of, the AD7677.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7621 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 21
shows the simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive
DAC consists of two identical arrays of 16 binary weighted
capacitors which are connected to the two comparator inputs.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW−.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and
acquire the analog signal on IN+ and IN− inputs. A conversion
phase is initiated once the acquisition phase is complete and the
CNVST input goes low. When the conversion phase begins,
SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are
then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the
REFGND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs (IN+ and IN−) captured at the end of the acquisition
phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the
comparator to become unbalanced. By switching each element
of the capacitor array between REFGND and REF, the
comparator input varies by binary weighted voltage steps
(VREF/2, VREF/4 through VREF/65536). The control logic toggles
these switches, starting with the MSB first, in order to bring the
comparator back into a balanced condition. After the
completion of this process, the control logic generates the ADC
output code and brings BUSY output low.
MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7621 features four modes of operation: wideband warp,
warp, normal, and impulse. Each of these modes is more
suitable to specific applications.
Wideband warp (WARP = high, IMPULSE = high) and warp
(WARP = high, IMPULSE = low) modes allow the fastest
conversion rate up to 3 MSPS. However, in these modes, the full
specified accuracy is guaranteed only when the time between
conversions does not exceed 1 ms. If the time between two
consecutive conversions is longer than 1 ms (after power up),
the first conversion result should be ignored. These modes
make the AD7621 ideal for applications where both high
accuracy and fast sample rate are required. Wideband warp
mode offers slightly improved linearity and THD over warp
mode.
Normal mode (WARP = low, IMPULSE = low) is the fastest
mode (2 MSPS) without any limitation on time between
conversions. This mode makes the AD7621 ideal for
asynchronous applications such as data acquisition systems,
where both high accuracy and fast sample rate are required.
Impulse mode (WARP = low, IMPULSE = high), the lowest
power dissipation mode, allows power saving between
conversions. The maximum throughput in this mode is
1.25 MSPS. In this mode, the ADC powers down circuits after
conversion making the AD7621 ideal for battery-powered
applications.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 23 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7621.
Different circuitry from that shown in this diagram are optional
and are discussed below.
ANALOG INPUTS
Figure 24 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7621.
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that
the analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more
than 0.3 V as this causes the diodes to become forward-biased
and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a
forward-biased current of 100 mA maximum. For instance,
these conditions could eventually occur when the input buffer’s
U1 or U2 supplies are different from AVDD. In such a case, an
input buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used
to protect the part.
comprised of some serial resistors and the on resistance of the
switches. CIN is typically 12 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling
capacitor. During the conversion phase, when the switches are
opened, the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN
make a one-pole, low-pass filter that has a typical −3 dB cutoff
frequency of 50 MHz, thereby reducing an undesirable aliasing
effect while limiting noise from the inputs.
Since the input impedance of the AD7621 is very high, the
AD7621 can be directly driven by a low impedance source
without gain error. To further improve the noise filtering
achieved by the AD7621 analog input circuit, an external, onepole RC filter between the amplifier’s outputs and the ADC
analog inputs can be used, as shown in Figure 23. However,
large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance,
especially total harmonic distortion (THD). The maximum
source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be
tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source
impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown in
Figure 26.

•
Together, the driver amplifier and the AD7621 analog
input circuit must be able to settle for a full-scale step of
the capacitor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%). In the
amplifier data sheet, settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more
commonly specified. This could differ significantly from
the settling time at a 16-bit level and should be verified
prior to driver selection. The AD8021 op amp, which
combines ultralow noise and high gain bandwidth, meets
this settling time requirement even when used with gains
up to 13.
•
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible in order to preserve the SNR and
transition noise performance of the AD7621. The noise

For instance, a driver with an equivalent input noise
density of 2.1 nV/√Hz, like the AD8021 with a noise gain
of +1 when configured as a buffer, degrades the SNR by
only 0.33 dB when using the RC filter in Figure 23, and by
1 dB without.
The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to
that of the AD7621. Figure 13 gives the THD vs. frequency
that the driver should exceed.
The AD8021 meets these requirements and is appropriate for
almost all applications. The AD8021 needs a 10 pF external
compensation capacitor that should have good linearity as an
NPO ceramic or mica type. Moreover, the use of a noninverting
+1 gain arrangement is recommended and helps to obtain the
best signal-to-noise ratio.
The AD8022 can also be used when a dual version is needed
and a gain of 1 is present. The AD829 is an alternative in
applications where high frequency (above 100 kHz) performance
is not required. In applications with a gain of 1, an 82 pF
compensation capacitor is required. The AD8610 is an option
when low bias current is needed in low frequency applications.
Single-to-Differential Driver
For applications using unipolar analog signals, a single-endedto-differential driver, as shown in Figure 27, allows for a
differential input into the part. This configuration, when
provided an input signal of 0 to VREF, will produce a differential
±VREF with midscale at VREF/2. The one-pole filter using R = 10 Ω
and C = 1 nF provides a corner frequency of 16 MHz.
If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8139
differential driver can be used.

ANALOG INPUT
(UNIPOLAR 0V TO 2.048V)
The AD7621 allows the choice of either a very low temperature
drift internal voltage reference or an external reference.
Unlike many ADCs with internal references, the internal
reference of the AD7621 provides excellent performance and
can be used in almost all applications.
Internal Reference
(PDBUF = Low, PDREF = Low)
To use the internal reference, the PDREF and PDBUF inputs
must be low. This produces a 1.2 V band gap output on
REFBUFIN which, amplified by the internal buffer, results in a
2.048 V reference on the REF pin.
The internal reference is temperature-compensated to 2.048 V ±
10 mV. The reference is trimmed to provide a typical drift of
7 ppm/°C. This typical drift characteristic is shown in Figure 7.
The output resistance of the REFBUFIN is 6.33 kΩ (minimum)
when the internal reference is enabled. It is necessary to
decouple this with a ceramic capacitor greater than 100 nF.
Thus, the capacitor provides an RC filter for noise reduction.
Since the output impedance of REFBUFIN is typically 6.33 kΩ,
relative humidity (among other industrial contaminates) can
directly affect the drift characteristics of the reference. Typically,
a guard ring is used to reduce the effects of drift under such
circumstances. However, since the AD7621 has a fine lead pitch,
guarding this node is not practical. Therefore, in these
industrial and other types of applications, it is recommended to
use a conformal coating such as Dow Corning 1-2577 or
Humiseal 1B73.
External 1.2 V Reference and Internal Buffer
(PDREF = High, PBBUF = Low)
To use an external reference with the internal buffer, PDREF
should be high and PDBUF should be low. This powers down
the internal reference and allows the 1.2 V reference to be
applied to REFBUFIN.
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 32
AD7621
External Reference (PDBUF = High, PRBUF = High)
Temperature Sensor
To use an external reference directly on the REF pin, PDREF
and PDBUF should both be high.
The TEMP pin measures the temperature of the AD7621. To
improve the calibration accuracy over the temperature range,
the output of the TEMP pin is applied to one of the inputs of the
analog switch (such as, ADG779), and the ADC itself is used to
measure its own temperature. This configuration is shown in
Figure 28.

POWER SUPPLY
PDREF and PDBUF power down the internal reference and the

Reference Decoupling
Whether using an internal or external reference, the AD7621
voltage reference input (REF) has a dynamic input impedance;
therefore, it should be driven by a low impedance source with
efficient decoupling between the REF and REFGND inputs.
This decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage reference,
but usually consists of a low ESR capacitor connected to REF
and REFGND with minimum parasitic inductance. A 10 μF
(X5R, 1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor (or 47 μF tantalum
capacitor) is appropriate when using either the internal
reference or one of these recommended reference voltages:
•
The low noise, low temperature drift ADR431 and AD780
•
The low power ADR291
•
The low cost AD1582
The AD7621 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog
2.5 V supply AVDD, a digital 2.5 V core supply DVDD, and a
digital input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD supply
allows direct interface with any logic working between 2.3 V
and 5.25 V. To reduce the number of supplies needed, the digital
core (DVDD) can be supplied through a simple RC filter from
the analog supply as shown in Figure 23.
Power Sequencing
The AD7621 is independent of power supply sequencing once
OVDD does not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V until
DVDD = 2.3 V during any time; for instance, at power-up or
power-down (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings section).
Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply variations
over a wide frequency range as shown in Figure 29.
75
70
The voltage reference temperature coefficient (TC) directly
impacts full scale; therefore, in applications where full-scale
accuracy matters, care must be taken with the TC. For instance,
a ±15 ppm/°C TC of the reference changes full-scale by ±1 LSB/°C.

The placement of the reference decoupling is also important to
the performance of the AD7621. The decoupling capacitor
should be mounted on the same side as the ADC right at the
REF pin with a thick PCB trace. The REFGND should also
connect to the reference decoupling capacitor with the shortest
distance.

Power-Up
CONVERSION CONTROL
At power-up, or returning to operational mode from the powerdown mode (PD = high), the AD7621 engages an initialization
process. During this time, the first 128 conversions should be
ignored or the RESET input could be pulsed to engage a faster
initialization process. Refer to the Digital Interface section for
RESET and timing details.
The AD7621 is controlled by the CNVST input. A falling edge
on CNVST is all that is necessary to initiate a conversion.
Detailed timing diagrams of the conversion process are shown
in Figure 31. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or aborted,
even by the power-down input, PD, until the conversion is
complete. The CNVST signal operates independently of CS and
RD signals.

In impulse mode, the AD7621 automatically reduces its power
consumption at the end of each conversion phase. During the
acquisition phase, the operating currents are very low which
allows a significant power saving when the conversion rate is
reduced (see Figure 30). This feature makes the AD7621 ideal
for very low power, battery-operated applications.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital
supply currents even further, drive the digital inputs close to the
power rails (that is, OVDD and OGND).

A simple power-on reset circuit, as shown in Figure 23, can be
used to minimize the digital interface. As OVDD powers up, the
capacitor is shorted and brings RESET high; it is then charged
returning RESET to low. However, this circuit only works when
powering up the AD7621 because the power down mode (PD =
high) does not power down any of the supplies. As a result,
RESET is low.
Figure 31. Basic Conversion Timing
For optimal performance, the rising edge of CNVST should not
occur after the maximum CNVST low time, t1, or until the end
of conversion.
Although CNVST is a digital signal, it should be designed with
special care with fast, clean edges, and levels with minimum
overshoot, undershoot, or ringing.
The CNVST trace should be shielded with ground and a low
value (such as 50 Ω) serial resistor termination should be added
close to the output of the component that drives this line. Also,
a 60 pF capacitor is recommended to further reduce the effects
of overshoot and undershoot as shown in Figure 23.

INTERFACES
DIGITAL INTERFACE
PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7621 has a versatile digital interface that can be set up
as either a serial or parallel interface with the host system. The
serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The
AD7621 digital interface also accommodates 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V
logic with either OVDD at 2.5 V or 3.3 V. OVDD defines the
logic high output voltage. In most applications, the OVDD
supply pin of the AD7621 is connected to the host system
interface 2.5 V or 3.3 V digital supply. Finally, by using the
OB/2C input pin, both twos complement or straight binary
coding can be used.
The AD7621 is configured to use the parallel interface when
SER/PAR is held low.
RESET
Data can be continuously read by tying CS and RD low thus
requiring minimal microprocessor connections. However, in
this mode the data bus is always driven and cannot be used in
shared bus applications (unless the device is held in RESET).

The two signals, CS and RD, control the interface. When at least
one of these signals is high, the interface outputs are in high
impedance. Usually, CS allows the selection of each AD7621 in
multicircuit applications and is held low in a single AD7621
design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion result on
the data bus.

The RESET input is used to reset the AD7621 and generate a
fast initialization. A rising edge on RESET aborts the current
conversion (if any) and tristates the data bus. The falling edge of
RESET clears the data bus and engages the initialization process
indicated by pulsing BUSY high. Conversions can take place
after the falling edge of BUSY. Refer to Figure 32 for the RESET
timing details.

In slave parallel reading mode, the data can be read either after
each conversion, which is during the next acquisition phase, or
during the following conversion, as shown in Figure 34 and
Figure 35, respectively. When the data is read during the
conversion, it is recommended that it is read-only during the
first half of the conversion phase. This avoids any potential
feedthrough between voltage transients on the digital interface
and the most critical analog conversion circuitry.

Usually, because the AD7621 is used with a fast throughput, the
master read during conversion mode is the most recommended
serial mode. In this mode, the serial clock and data toggle at
appropriate instants, minimizing potential feedthrough between
digital activity and critical conversion decisions. In this mode,
the SCLK period changes since the LSBs require more time to
settle and the SCLK is derived from the SAR conversion cycle.
In read after conversion mode, unlike other modes, the BUSY
signal returns low after the 16 data bits are pulsed out and not at
the end of the conversion phase resulting in a longer BUSY
width. As a result, the maximum throughput cannot be
achieved in this mode.

SYNC signal can be inverted, if desired. Depending on the read
during convert input, RDC/SDIN, the data can be read after
each conversion or during the following conversion. Figure 37

AD7621
External Clock
The AD7621 is configured to accept an externally supplied
serial data clock on the SCLK pin when the EXT/INT pin is
held high. In this mode, several methods can be used to read
the data. The external serial clock is gated by CS. When CS and
RD are both low, the data can be read after each conversion or
during the following conversion. The external clock can be
either a continuous or a discontinuous clock. A discontinuous
clock can be either normally high or normally low when
inactive. Figure 40 and Figure 41 show the detailed timing
diagrams of these methods.
While the AD7621 is performing a bit decision, it is important
that voltage transients be avoided on digital input/output pins
or degradation of the conversion result could occur. This is
particularly important during the second half of the conversion
phase because the AD7621 provides error correction circuitry
that can correct for an improper bit decision made during the
first half of the conversion phase. For this reason, it is
recommended that when an external clock is being provided, it
is a discontinuous clock that is toggling only when BUSY is low
or, more importantly, that it does not transition during the latter
half of BUSY high.
External Discontinuous Clock Data Read After
Conversion
Though the maximum throughput cannot be achieved using
this mode, it is the most recommended of the serial slave
modes. Figure 40 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this
method. After a conversion is complete, indicated by BUSY
returning low, the conversion result can be read while both CS
and RD are low. Data is shifted out MSB first with 16 clock
pulses and is valid on the rising and falling edges of the clock.
Among the advantages of this method is the fact that
conversion performance is not degraded because there are no
voltage transients on the digital interface during the conversion
process. Another advantage is the ability to read the data at any
speed up to 80 MHz, which accommodates both the slow digital
host interface and the fastest serial reading.
Finally, in this mode only, the AD7621 provides a daisy-chain
feature using the RDC/SDIN pin for cascading multiple
converters together. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections when desired, as, for
instance, in isolated multiconverter applications.
An example of the concatenation of two devices is shown in
Figure 39. Simultaneous sampling is possible by using a
common CNVST signal. It should be noted that the RDC/SDIN
input is latched on the edge of SCLK opposite to the one used to
shift out the data on SDOUT. Hence, the MSB of the upstream
converter just follows the LSB of the downstream converter on
the next SCLK cycle.

External Clock Data Read During Previous Conversion
Figure 41 shows the detailed timing diagrams of this method.
During a conversion, while both CS and RD are low, the result
of the previous conversion can be read. The data is shifted out,
MSB first, with 16 clock pulses and is valid on both the rising
and falling edge of the clock. The 16 bits have to be read before
the current conversion is complete, otherwise; RDERROR is
pulsed high and can be used to interrupt the host interface to
prevent incomplete data reading. There is no daisy-chain
feature in this mode and RDC/SDIN input should always be
tied either high or low.
To reduce performance degradation due to digital activity, a fast
discontinuous clock (at least 30 MHz when impulse mode is
used, 60 MHz when normal mode is used, or 80 MHz when
warp mode is used) is recommended to ensure that all the bits
are read during the first half of the SAR conversion phase.
It is also possible to begin to read data after conversion and
continue to read the last bits after a new conversion has been
initiated. However, this is not recommended when using the
fastest throughput of any mode since the acquisition times are
only 70 ns, 100 ns, and 50 ns for warp, normal, and impulse
modes.
If the maximum throughput is not used, thus allowing more
acquisition time, then the use of a slower clock speed can be
used to read the data.

AD7621
The AD7621 is ideally suited for traditional dc measurement
applications supporting a microprocessor, and ac signal
processing applications interfacing to a digital signal processor.
The AD7621 is designed to interface with a parallel 8-bit or
16-bit wide interface, or with a general-purpose serial port or
I/O ports on a microcontroller. A variety of external buffers can
be used with the AD7621 to prevent digital noise from coupling
into the ADC. The following section illustrates the use of the
AD7621 with an ADSP-219x SPI-equipped DSP.
going low) using an interrupt line of the DSP. The serial
peripheral interface (SPI) on the ADSP-219x is configured for
master mode (MSTR) = 1, clock polarity bit (CPOL) = 0, clock
phase bit (CPHA) = 1, and SPI interrupt enable (TIMOD) = 00
by writing to the SPI control register (SPICLTx). It should be
noted that to meet all timing requirements, the SPI clock should
be limited to 17 Mb/s allowing it to read an ADC result in less
than 1 μs. When a higher sampling rate is desired, use one of
the parallel interface modes.

SPI Interface (ADSP-219x)
Figure 42 shows an interface diagram between the AD7621 and
an SPI-equipped DSP, ADSP-219x. To accommodate the slower
speed of the DSP, the AD7621 acts as a slave device and data
must be read after conversion. This mode also allows the daisychain feature. The convert command could be initiated in
response to an internal timer interrupt. The reading process can
be initiated in response to the end-of-conversion signal (BUSY

APPLICATION
LAYOUT
While the AD7621 has very good immunity to noise on the
power supplies, exercise care with the grounding layout. To
facilitate the use of ground planes that can be easily separated,
design the printed circuit board that houses the AD7621 so that
the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. Digital and analog ground planes
should be joined in only one place, preferably underneath the
AD7621, or as close as possible to the AD7621. If the AD7621 is
in a system where multiple devices require analog-to-digital
ground connections, the connections should still be made at
one point only, a star ground point, established as close as
possible to the AD7621.
To prevent coupling noise onto the die, avoid radiating noise,
and to reduce feedthrough:
• Do not run digital lines under the device.
• Do run the analog ground plane under the AD7621.
• Do shield fast switching signals, like CNVST or clocks, with
digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other sections of
the board, and never run them near analog signal paths.
• Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
• Run traces on different but close layers of the board, at right
angles to each other, to reduce the effect of feedthrough
through the board.
The power supply lines to the AD7621 should use as large a
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the
effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Good decoupling is
also important to lower the impedance of the supplies presented
to the AD7621, and to reduce the magnitude of the supply
spikes. Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, should
be placed on each of the power supplies pins, AVDD, DVDD,
and OVDD. The capacitors should be placed close to, and
ideally right up against, these pins and their corresponding
ground pins. Additionally, low ESR 10 μF capacitors should be
located in the vicinity of the ADC to further reduce low
frequency ripple.
The DVDD supply of the AD7621 can be either a separate
supply or come from the analog supply, AVDD, or from the
digital interface supply, OVDD. When the system digital supply
is noisy, or fast switching digital signals are present, and no
separate supply is available, it is recommended to connect the
DVDD digital supply to the analog supply AVDD through an
RC filter, and to connect the system supply to the interface
digital supply OVDD and the remaining digital circuitry. Refer
to Figure 23 for an example of this configuration. When DVDD
is powered from the system supply, it is useful to insert a bead
to further reduce high frequency spikes.
The AD7621 has four different ground pins: REFGND, AGND,
DGND, and OGND. REFGND senses the reference voltage and,
because it carries pulsed currents, should be a low impedance
return to the reference. AGND is the ground to which most
internal ADC analog signals are referenced; it must be
connected with the least resistance to the analog ground plane.
DGND must be tied to the analog or digital ground plane
depending on the configuration. OGND is connected to the
digital system ground.
The layout of the decoupling of the reference voltage is
important. To minimize parasitic inductances, place the
decoupling capacitor close to the ADC and connect it with
short, thick traces.
EVALUATING THE AD7621 PERFORMANCE
A recommended layout for the AD7621 is outlined in the
documentation of the EVAL-AD7621CB evaluation board for
the AD7621. The evaluation board package includes a fully
assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and
software for controlling the board from a PC via the EVALCONTROLBRD3.
