GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS The AD7691 is an 18-bit, charge redistribution, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.3 V and 5 V. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC with no missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, it samples the voltage difference between the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite phase between 0 V and REF. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set up to the supply voltage. Battery-powered equipment Data acquisitions Seismic data acquisition systems DVMs Instrumentation Medical instruments 1.5 POSITIVE INL = 0.43LSB NEGATIVE INL = –0.62LSB 1.0 INL (LSB) 0.5 Its power scales linearly with throughput. 0 The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic, using the separate VIO supply. –0.5 –1.5 0 65536 131072 196608 CODE 262144 06146-025 –1.0 The AD7691 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead QFN1 (LFCSP) with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

ESD CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. 500µA IOL 1.4V TO SDO 500µA 05792-002 CL 50pF IOH Figure 3.

The REF range is from 0.5 V to VDD. It is referred to the GND pin. This pin should be decoupled closely to the pin with a 10 μF capacitor. Power Supply. Differential Positive Analog Input. Differential Negative Analog Input. Power Supply Ground. Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, it initiates the conversions and selects the interface mode of the part, either chain or CS mode. In CS mode, it enables the SDO pin when low. In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high. Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK. Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock. Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows: Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data level on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 18 SCK cycles. CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the busy indicator feature is enabled. Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V). 1 AI = analog input, DI = digital input, DO = digital output, and P = power. Rev. 0 | Page 8 of 28 AD7691 TERMINOLOGY Least Significant Bit (LSB) The least significant bit, or LSB, is the smallest increment that can be represented by a converter. For an analog-to-digital converter with N bits of resolution, the LSB expressed in volts is LSB(V) = Noise-Free Code Resolution = log2(2N/Peak-to-Peak Noise) and is expressed in bits. V INpp 2 Noise-Free Code Resolution It is the number of bits beyond which it is impossible to resolve individual codes distinctly. It is calculated as N Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL) INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line (see Figure 26). Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL) In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed. Zero Error Zero error is the difference between the ideal midscale voltage, that is, 0 V, from the actual voltage producing the midscale output code, that is, 0 LSB. Gain Error The first transition (from 100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01) should occur at a level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.999981 V for the ±5 V range). The last transition (from 011 … 10 to 011 … 11) should occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full scale (+4.999943 V for the ±5 V range.) The gain error is the deviation of the difference between the actual level of the last transition and the actual level of the first transition from the difference between the ideal levels. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) SFDR is the difference, in decibels, between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to SINAD by the following formula: Effective Resolution It is calculated as Effective Resolution = log2(2N/RMS Input Noise) and is expressed in bits. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is expressed in decibels. Dynamic Range Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to the total rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together. The value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components 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. Aperture Delay Aperture delay is the measure of the acquisition performance. It is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and when the input signal is held for a conversion. Transient Response Transient response is the time required for the ADC to acquire its input accurately after a full-scale step function is applied. ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02 and is expressed in bits.

ADC Simplified Schematic CIRCUIT INFORMATION CONVERTER OPERATION The AD7691 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise, 18-bit ADC using a successive approximation architecture. The AD7691 is a successive approximation ADC based on a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 25 shows the simplified schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two identical arrays of 18 binary-weighted capacitors, which are connected to the two comparator inputs. The AD7691 is capable of converting 250,000 samples per second (250 kSPS) and powers down between conversions. When operating at 1 kSPS, for example, it consumes 50 μW typically, which is ideal for battery-powered applications. The AD7691 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold and does not exhibit pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications. The AD7691 is specified from 2.3 V to 5.25 V and can be interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead QFN 1 (LFCSP) that combines space savings and allows flexible configurations. It is pin-for-pin compatible with the 18-bit AD7690 as well as the 16-bit AD7687 and AD7688. During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the comparator’s input are connected to GND via SW+ and SW−. All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs. Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs. When the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the 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 GND and REF, the comparator input varies by binary-weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 ... VREF/262,144). The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB, to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After the completion of this process, the part returns to the acquisition phase, and the control logic generates the ADC output code and a busy signal indicator. Because the AD7691 has an on-board conversion clock, the serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process. 1 QFN package in development. Contact sales for samples and availability.

The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the analog inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog input signal does not exceed the supply rails by more than 0.3 V because this causes the diodes to become forward biased and start conducting current. These diodes can handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions could eventually occur if the input buffer’s (U1’s) supplies are different than VDD. In such a case—for example, an input buffer with a short circuit—the current limitation can be used to protect the part. When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the AD7691 can be driven directly. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance, especially total harmonic distortion (THD). The dc performances are less sensitive to the input impedance. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the source impedance and the maximum input frequency. DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE Although the AD7691 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier must meet the following requirements: • VDD D1 IN+ OR IN– CIN D2 05792-009 CPIN RIN GND The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise performance of the AD7691. The noise coming from the driver is filtered by the AD7691 analog input circuit’s 1-pole, low-pass filter made by RIN and CIN or by the external filter, if one is used. The SNR degradation due to the amplifier is as follows: Figure 28. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit SNRLOSS The analog input structure allows the sampling of the true differential signal between IN+ and IN−.

Analog Input CMRR vs. Frequency During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog inputs (IN+ and IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination of the capacitor, CPIN, and the network formed by the series connection of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is typically 3 kΩ and is a lumped component made up of serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. • For ac applications, the driver should have a THD performance commensurate with the AD7691. • For multichannel multiplexed applications, the driver amplifier and the AD7691 analog input circuit must settle for a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at an 18-bit level (0.0004%, 4 ppm). In the amplifier’s data sheet, settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This could differ significantly from the settling time at an 18-bit level and should be verified prior to driver selection. During the conversion phase, where the switches are opened, the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a 1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects and limits the noise. Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 28 AD7691 Table 9. Recommended Driver Amplifiers Amplifier ADA4941-1 ADA4841-x AD8655 AD8021 AD8022 OP184 AD8605, AD8615 VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT Typical Application Very low noise, low power single-ended-todifferential driver Very low noise, small, and low power 5 V single supply, low noise Very low noise and high frequency Low noise and high frequency Low power, low noise, and low frequency 5 V single supply, low power The AD7691 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND pins, as explained in the Layout section. When REF is driven by a very low impedance source, for example, a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8605, a 10 μF (X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum performance. SINGLE-TO-DIFFERENTIAL DRIVER For applications using a single-ended analog signal, either bipolar or unipolar, the ADA4941-1 single-ended-to-differential driver allows for a differential input into the part. The schematic is shown in Figure 30. R1 and R2 set the attenuation ratio between the input range and the ADC range (VREF). R1, R2, and CF are chosen depending on the desired input resistance, signal bandwidth, antialiasing, and noise contribution. For example, for the ±10 V range with a 4 kΩ impedance, R2 = 1 kΩ and R1 = 4 kΩ. R3 and R4 set the common mode on the IN− input, and R5 and R6 set the common mode on the IN+ input of the ADC. The common mode should be set close to VREF/2; however, if single supply is desired, it can be set slightly above VREF/2 to provide some headroom for the ADA4941-1 output stage. For example, for the ±10 V range with a single supply, R3 = 8.45 kΩ, R4 = 11.8 kΩ, R5 = 10.5 kΩ, and R6 = 9.76 kΩ. R5 R6 R3 R4 If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 μF (X5R, 1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum performance using a low temperature drift ADR43x reference. If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values—down to 2.2 μF—can be used with a minimal impact on performance, especially DNL. Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value ceramic decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the REF and GND pins. POWER SUPPLY The AD7691 uses two power supply pins: a core supply, VDD, and a digital input/output interface supply, VIO. VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V and VDD. To reduce the supplies needed, the VIO and VDD pins can be tied together. The AD7691 is independent of power supply sequencing between VIO and VDD. Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency range, as shown in Figure 31. +5V REF 95 10µF +5.2V +5.2V 90 100nF 2.7nF 2.7nF 100nF 15Ω IN+ REF VDD 85 AD7691 IN– PSRR (dB) 15Ω GND ADA4941 80 75 R2 CF 70 Figure 30.

AD7691 The AD7691 powers down automatically at the end of each conversion phase, and therefore the power scales linearly with the sampling rate.

The reference line can be driven by • The system power supply directly. A reference voltage with enough current output capability, such as the ADR43x. A reference buffer, such as the AD8031, which can also filter the system power supply, as shown in Figure 33. 5V 1µF In either mode, the AD7691 offers the option of forcing a start bit in front of the data bits.

Otherwise, without a busy indicator, the user must timeout the maximum conversion time prior to readback. The busy indicator feature is enabled • 10kΩ AD8031 The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level when the CNV rising edge occurs.

When in CS mode, the AD7691 is compatible with SPI, QSPI, digital hosts, and DSPs, for example, Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x or ADSP-219x. In this mode, the AD7691 can use either a 3-wire or 4-wire interface. A 3-wire interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO signals minimizes wiring connections and is useful, for instance, in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV, SCK, and SDO signals allows CNV, which initiates the conversions, to be independent of the readback timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter sampling or simultaneous sampling applications. 1000 0.001 10 DIGITAL INTERFACE Figure 33.

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 34, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 35. With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. Once a conversion is initiated, it continues until completion irrespective of the state of CNV. This could be useful, for instance, to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned high before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held high for the maximum possible conversion time to avoid the generation of the busy signal indicator.

The connection diagram is shown in Figure 36, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 37. If multiple AD7691s are selected at the same time, the SDO output pin handles this contention without damage or induced latch-up. Meanwhile, it is recommended to keep this contention as short as possible to limit extra power dissipation. With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high impedance. SDO is maintained in high impedance until the completion of the conversion irrespective of the state of CNV. Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNV can be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned low before the minimum conversion time elapses and then held low for the maximum possible conversion time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, SDO goes from high impedance to low impedance. With a pull-up on the SDO line, this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the data reading controlled by the digital host. The AD7691 then enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits are clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCK falling edges.

The remaining data bits are clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge will allow a faster reading rate, provided it has an acceptable hold time.

In the latter case, the planes should be joined underneath the AD7691. 06146-023 Avoid running digital lines under the device because this couples noise onto the die unless a ground plane under the AD7691 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV or clocks, should not run near analog signal paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals should be avoided. Figure 46. Example Layout of the AD7691 (Top Layer) The AD7691 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling ceramic capacitor close to, ideally right up against, the REF and GND pins and connecting them with wide, low impedance traces. Finally, the power supplies, VDD and VIO, of the AD7691 should be decoupled with ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, placed close to the AD7691 and connected using short and wide traces to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. 05792-024 An example of a layout following these rules is shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47. EVALUATING THE AD7691’S PERFORMANCE Figure 47. Example Layout of the AD7691 (Bottom Layer) Other recommended layouts for the AD7691 are outlined in the documentation of the evaluation board for the AD7691 (EVAL-AD7691-CB). The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for controlling the board from a PC via the EVAL-CONTROL BRD3.
