GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are respectively, 8-bit, 10-bit,
and 12-bit, high speed, low power, 4-channel, successive-approximation ADCs. The parts operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V
power supply and feature throughput rates up to 1 MSPS. The
parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track/hold amplifier that
can handle input frequencies in excess of 8 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using CS and the serial clock signal, allowing the device to
easily interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal
is sampled on the falling edge of CS and conversion is also
initiated at this point. There are no pipeline delays associated
with the part.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 use advanced design techniques to
achieve very low power dissipation at maximum throughput rates.
At maximum throughput rates, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
consume 2 mA maximum with 3 V supplies; with 5 V supplies, the
current consumption is 2.7 mA maximum.
Through the configuration of the Control Register, the analog
input range for the part can be selected as 0 V to REFIN or 0 V
to 2 × REFIN, with either straight binary or twos complement
output coding. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 each feature four
single-ended analog inputs with a channel sequencer to allow a
preprogrammed selection of channels to be converted sequentially.
The conversion time for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is determined by the SCLK frequency, as this is also used as the master
clock to control the conversion.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High Throughput with Low Power Consumption.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 offer up to 1 MSPS throughput rates. At the maximum throughput rate with 3 V sup`plies,
the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 dissipate just 6 mW of
power maximum.
2. Four Single-Ended Inputs with a Channel Sequencer.
A consecutive sequence of channels can be selected, through
which the ADC will cycle and convert on.
3. Single-Supply Operation with VDRIVE Function.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 operate from a single 2.7 V
to 5.25 V supply. The VDRIVE function allows the serial interface to connect directly to either 3 V or 5 V processor systems
independent of VDD.
4. Flexible Power/Serial Clock Speed Management.
The conversion rate is determined by the serial clock, allowing
the conversion time to be reduced through the serial clock speed
increase. The parts also feature various shutdown modes to
maximize power efficiency at lower throughput rates. Current
consumption is 0.5 µA max when in full shutdown.
5. No Pipeline Delay.
The parts feature a standard successive-approximation ADC
with accurate control of the sampling instant via a CS input
and once off conversion control.

Sample tested at 25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of V DD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
See Figure 1. The 3 V operating range spans from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The 5 V operating range spans from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
2
Mark/Space ratio for the SCLK input is 40/60 to 60/40.
3
Measured with the load circuit of Figure 1 and defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.4 V or 0.7 × VDRIVE.
4
t8 is derived form the measured time taken by the data outputs to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated
back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the time, t 8, quoted in the timing characteristics is the true bus relinquish
time of the part and is independent of the bus loading.

and a 12 V ac transformer. See relevant Evaluation Board Technical Note for more information.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 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.

Serial Clock. Logic input. SCLK provides the serial clock for accessing data from the part. This clock
input is also used as the clock source for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924’s conversion process.
Data In. Logic Input. Data to be written to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924’s Control Register is
provided on this input and is clocked into the register on the falling edge of SCLK (see Control Register section).
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on
the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 and also frames the serial data transfer.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. All
analog input signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. All
AGND pins should be connected together.
Analog Power Supply Input. The AVDD range for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
For the 0 V to 2 × REFIN range, AVDD should be from 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
Reference Input for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. An external reference must be applied to this
input. The voltage range for the external reference is 2.5 V ± 1% for specified performance.
Analog Input 0 through Analog Input 3. Four single-ended analog input channels that are multiplexed
into the on-chip track/hold. The analog input channel to be converted is selected by using the address
bits ADD1 and ADD0 of the control register. The address bits, in conjunction with the SEQ1 and
SEQ0 bits, allow the Sequencer to be programmed. The input range for all input channels can extend
from 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN as selected via the RANGE bit in the control register. Any
unused input channels should be connected to AGND to avoid noise pickup.
Data Out. Logic Output. The conversion result from the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is provided on
this output as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input.
The data stream from the AD7904 consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel
the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the eight bits of conversion data, followed by four
trailing zeros, provided MSB first; the data stream from the AD7914 consists of two leading zeros, two
address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 10 bits of
conversion data, followed by two trailing zeros, also provided MSB first; the data stream from the AD7924
consists of two leading zeros, two address bits indicating which channel the conversion result corresponds
to, followed by the 12 bits of conversion data provided MSB first. The output coding may be selected
as straight binary or twos complement via the CODING bit in the control register.
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines what voltage the serial interface of
the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 will operate at.

Negative Gain Error Match
This is the difference in Negative Gain Error between any two
channels.
TERMINOLOGY
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.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale 400 kHz
sine wave signal to all three nonselected input channels and determining how much that signal is attenuated in the selected channel
with a 50 kHz signal. The figure is given worst case across all
four channels for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
Offset Error
PSR (Power Supply Rejection)
This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to
(00 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., AGND + 1 LSB.
Variations in power supply will affect the full scale transition,
but not the converter’s linearity. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change
in power-supply voltage from the nominal value. See Typical
Performance Curves.
Differential Nonlinearity
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in offset error between any two channels.
Gain Error
Track/Hold Acquisition Time
This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to
(111 . . . 111) from the ideal (i.e., REFIN – 1 LSB) after the
offset error has been adjusted out.
The track/hold amplifier returns into track mode at the end
of conversion. Track/Hold acquisition time is the time required
for the output of the track/hold amplifier to reach its final
value, within ± 1 LSB, after the end of conversion.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in Gain error between any two channels.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
Zero Code Error
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the A/D converter. 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. The theoretical signal to (noise + distortion) ratio for
an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by:
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with –REFIN
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of
the midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal VIN voltage, i.e., REFIN – 1 LSB.
Zero Code Error Match
This is the difference in Zero Code Error between any two
channels.
Signal to ( Noise + Distortion ) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
Positive Gain Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with –REFIN
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of
the last code transition (011. . .110) to (011 . . . 111) from the
ideal (i.e., +REFIN – 1 LSB) after the Zero Code Error has been
adjusted out.
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB, for a 10-bit converter
this is 62 dB, and for an 8-bit converter this is 50 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924, it
is defined as:
Positive Gain Error Match
THD ( dB ) = 20 log
This is the difference in Positive Gain Error between any two
channels.
Negative Gain Error
This applies when using the twos complement output coding
option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with –REF IN
to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of
the first code transition (100 . . . 000) to (100 . . . 001) from the
ideal (i.e., –REF IN + 1 LSB) after the Zero Code Error has
been adjusted out.

CONTROL REGISTER
The Control Register on the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is a 12-bit, write-only register. Data is loaded from the DIN pin of the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 on the falling edge of SCLK. The data is transferred on the DIN line at the same time that the conversion result is read from the part. The data transferred on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 configuration
for the next conversion. This requires 16 serial clocks for every data transfer. Only the information provided on the first 12 falling
clock edges (after CS falling edge) is loaded to the Control Register. MSB denotes the first bit in the data stream. The bit functions
are outlined in Table I.

should ensure that 1 µs has elapsed before
attempting to perform a valid conversion on the

SEQUENCER OPERATION
The configuration of the SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits in the control
register allows the user to select a particular mode of operation
of the sequencer function. Table IV outlines the three modes of
operation of the Sequencer.
Figure 2 reflects the traditional operation of a multichannel ADC,
where each serial transfer selects the next channel for conversion.
In this mode of operation the Sequencer function is not used.
Figure 3 shows how to program the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
to continuously convert on a sequence of consecutive channels
from Channel 0 to a selected final channel. To exit this mode of
operation and revert back to the traditional mode of operation of a
multichannel ADC (as outlined in Figure 2), ensure that the
WRITE bit = 1 and SEQ1 = SEQ0 = 0 on the next serial transfer.

This configuration means that the sequence
function is not used. The analog input channel
selected for each individual conversion is
determined by the contents of the channel

selects the next channel for conversion
(see Figure 2).

have four single-ended input channels with a channel sequencer,
allowing the user to select a channel sequence through which the
ADC can cycle with each consecutive CS falling edge. The serial
clock input accesses data from the part, controls the transfer of
data written to the ADC, and provides the clock source for the
successive-approximation A/D converter. The analog input
range for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is 0 V to REFIN or 0 V
to 2 × REFIN, depending on the status of Bit 1 in the Control

The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are 8-, 10-, and 12-bit successive
approximation analog-to-digital converters based around a
capacitive DAC, respectively. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
can convert analog input signals in the range 0 V to REFIN or 0 V
to 2 × REFIN. Figures 4 and 5 show simplified schematics of
the ADC. The ADC is comprised of Control Logic, SAR, and a
Capacitive DAC, which are used to add and subtract fixed amounts
of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator
back into a balanced condition. Figure 4 shows the ADC during
its acquisition phase. SW2 is closed and SW1 is in position A.
The comparator is held in a balanced condition and the sampling
capacitor acquires the signal on the selected VIN channel.

to become unbalanced. The Control Logic and the Capacitive
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from
the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into a

ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is either
straight binary or twos complement, depending on the status of
the LSB in the Control Register. The designed code transitions
occur at successive LSB values (i.e., 1 LSB, 2 LSBs, and so on).
The LSB size is REFIN/256 for the AD7904 , REFIN/1024 for the
AD7914, and REFIN/4096 for the AD7924. The ideal transfer
characteristic for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 when straight

Analog Input
When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum
source impedance will depend on the amount of total harmonic

as the source impedance increases and performance will degrade
(see TPC 5).

Figure 6 shows an equivalent circuit of the analog input structure
of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. The two diodes D1 and D2
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be
taken to ensure that the analog input signal never exceeds the
supply rails by more than 200 mV. This will cause these diodes
to become forward biased and start conducting current into the
substrate. 10 mA is the maximum current these diodes can
conduct without causing irreversible damage to the part. The
capacitor C1 in Figure 6 is typically about 4 pF and can primarily
be attributed to pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of a switch (track and hold
switch) and also includes the on resistance of the input multiplexer.
The total resistance is typically about 400 Ω. The capacitor C2 is
the ADC sampling capacitor and has a capacitance of 30 pF
typically. For ac applications, removing high frequency components from the analog input signal is recommended by use of an
RC low-pass filter on the relevant analog input pin. In applications where harmonic distortion and signal to noise ratio are
critical, the analog input should be driven from a low impedance
source. Large source impedances will significantly affect the ac
performance of the ADC. This may necessitate the use of an
input buffer amplifier. The choice of the op amp will be a
function of the particular application.

Figure 10 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924. In this setup the GND pin is connected to
the analog ground plane of the system. In Figure 10, REFIN is
connected to a decoupled 2.5 V supply from a reference source,
the AD780, to provide an analog input range of 0 V to 2.5 V (if
RANGE bit is 1) or 0 V to 5 V (if RANGE bit is 0). Although
the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is connected to a VDD of 5 V, the
serial interface is connected to a 3 V microprocessor. The VDRIVE
pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is connected to the same 3 V
supply of the microprocessor to allow a 3 V logic interface (see
the Digital Inputs section). The conversion result is output in a

It is not necessary to write to the Control Register again once a
sequencer operation has been initiated. The WRITE bit must be
set to zero or the DIN line tied low to ensure the Control Register is not accidently overwritten, or the sequence operation
interrupted. If the Control Register is written to at any time
during the sequence then it must be ensured that the SEQ1 and
SEQ0 bits are set to 1,0 to avoid interrupting the automatic
conversion sequence. This pattern will continue until such time
as the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is written to and the SEQ1
and SEQ0 bits are configured with any bit combination except
1,0 resulting in the termination of the sequence. If uninterrupted, however (WRITE bit = 0, or WRITE bit = 1 and SEQ1
and SEQ0 bits are set to 1,0), then upon completion of the
sequence, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 sequencer will return
to the Channel 0 and commence the sequence again.
Regardless of which channel selection method is used, the 16-bit
word output from the AD7924 during each conversion will always
contain two leading zeros, two channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 12-bit conversion
result; the AD7914 will output two leading zeros, two channel
address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by
the 10-bit conversion result and two trailing zeros; the AD7904 will
output two leading zeros, two channel address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 8-bit conversion result
and four trailing zeros. See the Serial Interface section.
Analog Input Selection
Digital Inputs
Any one of four analog input channels may be selected for conversion by programming the multiplexer with the address bits
ADD1 and ADD0 in the Control Register. The channel configurations are shown in Table II.
The digital inputs applied to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are
not limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs.
Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not
restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit as on the analog inputs.
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 may also be configured to autoAnother advantage of SCLK, DIN, and CS not being restricted

Reference
An external reference source should be used to supply the 2.5 V
reference to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. Errors in the reference source will result in gain errors in the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 transfer function and will add to the specified full-scale
errors of the part. A capacitor of at least 0.1 µF should be placed
on the REFIN pin. Suitable reference sources for the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 include the AD780, REF 193, and the AD1582.
If 2.5 V is applied to the REFIN pin, the analog input range can
either be 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the setting of
the RANGE bit in the Control Register.
MODES OF OPERATION
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 have a number of different
modes of operation. These modes are designed to provide flexible power management options. These options can be chosen
to optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for differing application requirements. The mode of operation of the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is controlled by the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, in the Control Register, as detailed in
Table III. When power supplies are first applied to the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924, care should be taken to ensure that the part
is placed in the required mode of operation (see the Powering
Up the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 section).
Normal Mode (PM1 = PM0 = 1)
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance
as the user does not have to worry about any power-up times
with the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 remaining fully powered at
all times. Figure 11 shows the general diagram of the operation
of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 in this mode.
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS and the track
and hold will enter hold mode as described in the Serial Interface
section. The data presented to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 on
the DIN line during the first 12 clock cycles of the data transfer
are loaded into the Control Register (provided WRITE bit is set
to 1). The part will remain fully powered up in normal mode at
the end of the conversion as long as PM1 and PM0 are set to 1
in the write transfer during that same conversion. To ensure
continued operation in Normal Mode, PM1 and PM0 must both
be loaded with 1 on every data transfer, assuming a write operation is taking place. If the WRITE bit is set to 0, then the power
management bits will be left unchanged and the part will remain
in Normal Mode.
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to complete the conversion and access the conversion result. The track and hold will go
back into track on the fourteenth SCLK falling edge. CS may
then idle high until the next conversion or may idle low until
sometime prior to the next conversion, (effectively idling CS low).

Figure 11. Normal Mode Operation
Full Shutdown (PM1 = 1, PM0 = 0)
In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 is powered down. The part retains information in the
Control Register during full shutdown. The AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 remains in full shutdown until the power management
bits in the Control Register, PM1 and PM0, are changed.
If a write to the Control Register occurs while the part is in Full
Shutdown, with the power management bits changed to PM0 =
PM1 = 1, Normal mode, the part will begin to power up on the
CS rising edge. The track and hold that was in hold while the
part was in Full Shutdown will return to track on the fourteenth
SCLK falling edge.
To ensure that the part is fully powered up, tPOWER UP (t12) should
have elapsed before the next CS falling edge. Figure 12 shows
the general diagram for this sequence.
Auto Shutdown (PM1 = 0, PM0 = 1)
In this mode, the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 automatically enters
shutdown at the end of each conversion when the control register
is updated. When the part is in shutdown, the track and hold is in
hold mode. Figure 13 shows the general diagram of the operation
of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 in this mode. In shutdown mode
all internal circuitry on the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is
powered down. The part retains information in the Control
Register during shutdown. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
remains in shutdown until the next CS falling edge it receives.
On this CS falling edge the track and hold that was in hold while
the part was in shutdown will return to track. Wake-up time
from auto shutdown is 1 µs maximum, and the user should
ensure that 1 µs has elapsed before attempting a valid conversion. When running the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 with a
20 MHz clock, one 16 SCLK dummy cycle should be sufficient
to ensure the part is fully powered up. During this dummy cycle
the contents of the Control Register should remain unchanged,
therefore the WRITE bit should be 0 on the DIN line. This
dummy cycle effectively halves the throughput rate of the part,
with every other conversion result being valid. In this mode the
power consumption of the part is greatly reduced with the part
entering shutdown at the end of each conversion. When the
Control Register is programmed to move into auto shutdown, it
does so at the end of the conversion. The user can move the ADC
in and out of the low power state by controlling the CS signal.
Once a data transfer is complete (DOUT has returned to threestate), another conversion can be initiated after the quiet time,
tQUIET, has elapsed by bringing CS low again.

Figure 13. Auto Shutdown Mode Operation
Powering Up the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
When supplies are first applied to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924,
the ADC may power up in any of the operating modes of the
part. To ensure the part is placed into the required operating
mode the user should perform a dummy cycle operation as
outlined in Figures 14a through 14c.
The dummy conversion operation must be performed to place the
part into the desired mode of operation. To ensure the part is in
normal mode, this dummy cycle operation can be performed with
the DIN line tied HIGH, i.e., PM1, PM0 = 1,1 (depending on
other required settings in the control register) but the minimum
power-up time of 1 µs must be allowed from the rising edge
of CS, where the control register is updated, before attempting
the first valid conversion. This is to allow for the possibility that
the part initially powered up in shutdown. If the desired mode
of operation is Full Shutdown, then again only one dummy cycle
is required after supplies are applied. In this dummy cycle the
user simply sets the power management bits, PM1, PM0 = 1,0
and upon the rising edge of CS at the end of that serial transfer
the part will enter full shutdown.
REV. 0
If the desired mode of operation is Auto Shutdown after supplies are applied, then two dummy cycles will be required, the
first with DIN tied high and the second dummy cycle to set the
power management bits PM1 and PM0 = 0,1. On the second
CS rising edge after the supplies are applied, the Control Register will contain the correct information and the part will enter
Auto Shutdown mode as programmed. If power consumption is
of critical concern, then in the first dummy cycle the user may
set PM1, PM0 = 1,0, i.e., Full Shutdown, and then place the
part into Auto Shutdown in the second dummy cycle. For illustration purposes, Figure 14c is shown with DIN tied high on the
first dummy cycle in this case.
Figures 14a, 14b, and 14c each show the required dummy cycle(s)
after supplies are applied in the case of Normal mode, Full
Shutdown mode, or Auto Shutdown mode, respectively, being
the desired mode of operation.

POWER VERSUS THROUGHPUT RATE
By operating in Auto Shutdown mode on the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924, the average power consumption of the ADC decreases
at lower throughput rates. Figure 15 shows how as the throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown state longer
and the average power consumption over time drops accordingly.
For example, if the AD7924 is operated in a continuous sampling mode, with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS and an SCLK
of 20 MHz (VDD = 5 V), and the device is placed in Auto Shutdown mode, i.e., if PM1 = 0 and PM0 = 1, then the power
consumption is calculated as follows:
The maximum power dissipation during normal operation is
13.5 mW (VDD = 5 V). If the power-up time from Auto Shutdown
is one dummy cycle, i.e., 1 µs, and the remaining conversion time is
another cycle, i.e., 1 µs, then the AD7924 can be said to dissipate
13.5 mW for 2 µs during each conversion cycle. For the remainder
of the conversion cycle, 8 µs, the part remains in shutdown.
The AD7924 can be said to dissipate 2.5 µW for the remaining 8 µs of
the conversion cycle. If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle
time is 10 µs and the average power dissipated during each cycle is
(2/10) × (13.5 mW) + (8/10) × (2.5 µW) = 2.702 mW.

Figures 16, 17, and 18 show the detailed timing diagrams for
serial interfacing to the AD7904, AD7914, and AD7924,
respectively. The serial clock provides the conversion clock and
also controls the transfer of information to and from the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 during each conversion.
The CS signal initiates the data transfer and conversion process.
The falling edge of CS puts the track and hold into hold mode,
takes the bus out of three-state and the analog input is sampled
at this point. The conversion is also initiated at this point and
will require 16 SCLK cycles to complete. The track and hold
will go back into track on the fourteenth SCLK falling edge as
shown in Figures 16, 17, and 18 at Point B. On the sixteenth
SCLK falling edge, the DOUT line will go back into three-state.
If the rising edge of CS occurs before 16 SCLKs have elapsed,
the conversion will be terminated, the DOUT line will go back
into three-state, and the Control Register will not be updated;
otherwise DOUT returns to three-state on the sixteenth SCLK
falling edge as shown in Figures 16, 17, and 18.

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
Sixteen serial clock cycles are required to perform the conversion
process and to access data from the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
For the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 the 8/10/12 bits of data are
preceded by two leading zeros and two channel address bits ADD1
and ADD0, identifying which channel the result corresponds to.
CS going low clocks out the first leading zero to be read in by
the microcontroller or DSP on the first falling edge of SCLK.
The first falling edge of SCLK will also clock out the second
leading zero to be read in by the microcontroller or DSP on the
second SCLK falling edge, and so on. The remaining two address
bits and 8/10/12 data bits are then clocked out by subsequent
SCLK falling edges beginning with the first address bit ADD1;
thus the second falling clock edge on the serial clock has the
second leading zero provided and also clocks out address bit
ADD1. The final bit in the data transfer is valid on the sixteenth falling
edge, having been clocked out on the previous (fifteenth) falling edge.
Writing of information to the Control Register takes place on the
first 12 falling edges of SCLK in a data transfer, assuming the
MSB, i.e., the WRITE bit, has been set to 1.
The AD7904 will output two leading zeros, two channel address
bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 8-bit
conversion result, and four trailing zeros. The AD7914 will
output two leading zeros, two channel address bits that the
conversion result corresponds to, followed by the 10-bit conversion result, and two trailing zeros. The 16-bit word read from
the AD7924 will always contain two leading zeros, two channel
address bits that the conversion result corresponds to, followed
by the 12-bit conversion result.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
The serial interface on the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 allows
the part to be directly connected to a range of many different
microprocessors. This section explains how to interface the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 with some of the more common
microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to TMS320C541
The serial interface on the TMS320C541 uses a continuous
serial clock and frame synchronization signals to synchronize
the data transfer operations with peripheral devices like the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. The CS input allows easy interfacing between the TMS320C541 and the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 without any glue logic required. The serial port of
the TMS320C541 is set up to operate in burst mode with
internal CLKX0 (TX serial clock on serial port 0) and FSX0
(TX frame sync from serial port 0). The serial port control
register (SPC) must have the following setup: FO = 0, FSM
= 1, MCM = 1, and TXM = 1. The connection diagram is
shown in Figure 19. It should be noted that for signal processing
applications, it is imperative that the frame synchronization
signal from the TMS320C541 provides equidistant sampling.
The VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 takes the
same supply voltage as that of the TMS320C541. This allows
the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface, i.e., TMS320C541, if necessary.

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to ADSP-21xx
The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs are interfaced directly to the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 without any glue logic required. The
VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 takes the same
supply voltage as that of the ADSP-218x. This allows the
ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial interface,
i.e., ADSP-218x, if necessary.
The SPORT0 control register should be set up as follows:
TFSW = RFSW = 1, Alternate Framing
INVRFS = INVTFS = 1, Active Low Frame Signal
DTYPE = 00, Right Justify Data
SLEN = 1111, 16-Bit Data-Words
ISCLK = 1, Internal Serial Clock
TFSR = RFSR = 1, Frame Every Word
IRFS = 0
ITFS = 1
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 20. The ADSP-218x
has the TFS and RFS of the SPORT tied together, with TFS set
as an output and RFS set as an input. The DSP operates in
Alternate Framing Mode and the SPORT control register is set
up as described. The frame synchronization signal generated on
the TFS is tied to CS, and as with all signal processing applications, equidistant sampling is necessary. However, in this example,
the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the
ADC, and under certain conditions equidistant sampling may
not be achieved.
The Timer register, and so on, are loaded with a value that
will provide an interrupt at the required sample 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
thus the reading of data. The frequency of the serial clock is set
in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with
TFS is given (i.e., AX0 = TX0), the state of the SCLK is checked.
The DSP will wait until the SCLK has gone High, Low, and
High before transmission will start. If the timer and SCLK values
are chosen such that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near
the rising edge of SCLK, then the data may be transmitted or it
may wait until the next clock edge.
For example, if the ADSP-2189 had a 20 MHz crystal such that
it had a master clock frequency of 40 MHz, then the master
cycle time would be 25 ns. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with
the value 3, then a SCLK of 5 MHz is obtained and eight master
clock periods will elapse for every one SCLK period. Depending
on the throughput rate selected, if the timer register was loaded
with the value, say 803 (803 + 1 = 804), then 100.5 SCLKs will
occur between interrupts and subsequently between transmit

AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
instructions. This situation will result in nonequidistant sampling as the transmit instruction is occurring on a SCLK edge. If
the number of SCLKs between interrupts is a whole integer figure
of N, then equidistant sampling will be implemented by the DSP.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924 should be designed such that the analog and digital
sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the
board. This facilitates the use of ground planes that can be
separated easily. A minimum etch technique is generally best
for ground planes as it gives the best shielding. All three
AGND pins of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 should be sunk
in the AGND plane. Digital and analog ground planes should
be joined at only one place. If the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND to
DGND connection, the connection should still be made at
one point only, a star ground point that should be established
as close as possible to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.

Figure 20. Interfacing to the ADSP-218x
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to DSP563xx
The connection diagram in Figure 21 shows how the
AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 can be connected to the ESSI
(Synchronous Serial Interface) of the DSP563xx family of DSPs
from Motorola. Each ESSI (two on board) is operated in
Synchronous Mode (SYN bit in CRB = 1) with internally
generated 1-bit clock period frame sync for both Tx and Rx (bits
FSL1 = 0 and FSL0 = 0 in CRB). Normal operation of the ESSI
is selected by making MOD = 0 in the CRB. Set the word length
to 16 by setting bits WL1 = 1 and WL0 = 0 in CRA. The FSP bit
in the CRB should be set to 1 so the frame sync is negative. It
should be noted that for signal processing applications, it is
imperative that the frame synchronization signal from the DSP563xx
provides equidistant sampling.
In the example shown in Figure 21 below, the serial clock is
taken from the ESSI so the SCK0 pin must be set as an output,
SCKD = 1. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
takes the same supply voltage as that of the DSP563xx. This
allows the ADC to operate at a higher voltage than the serial
interface, i.e., DSP563xx, if necessary.

APPLICATION HINTS
Grounding and Layout
The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 have very good immunity to
noise on the power supplies as can be seen by the PSRR vs.
Supply Ripple Frequency plot, TPC 3. However, care should
still be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
REV. 0
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these will
couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should
be allowed to run under the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 to
avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7904/
AD7914/AD7924 should use as large a trace as possible to
provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches
on the power supply line. Fast switching signals, like clocks,
should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating
noise to other sections of the board, and clock signals should
never be run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board
should run at right angles to each other. This will reduce the
effects of feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is
by far the best but is not always possible with a double-sided
board. In this technique, the component side of the board is
dedicated to ground planes while signals are placed on the
solder side.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should
be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 µF
capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best from these decoupling
components, they must be placed as close as possible to the
device, ideally right up against the device. The 0.1 µF capacitors
should have low Effective Series Resistance (ESR) and Effective
Series Inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types or
surface mount types, which provide a low impedance path to
ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to
internal logic switching.
Evaluating the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 Performance
The recommended layout for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 is
outlined in the evaluation board for the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
The evaluation board package includes a fully assembled and
tested evaluation board, documentation, and software for
controlling the board from the PC via the EVAL-BOARD
CONTROLLER. The EVAL-BOARD CONTROLLER can be
used in conjunction with the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924
evaluation board, as well as many other Analog Devices evaluation
boards ending in the CB designator, to demonstrate/evaluate
the ac and dc performance of the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924.
The software allows the user to perform ac (fast Fourier transform)
and dc (histogram of codes) tests on the AD7904/AD7914/
AD7924. The software and documentation are on a CD shipped
with the evaluation board.
