PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS The AD7327 is an 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS (industrial CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage silicon with submicron CMOS and complementary bipolar technologies. It enables the development of a wide range of high performance analog ICs capable of 33 V operation in a footprint that no previous generation of high voltage parts could achieve. Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS components can accept bipolar input signals while providing increased performance, dramatically reduced power consumption, and reduced package size. 1. The AD7327 can accept true bipolar analog input signals, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V unipolar signals. 2. The eight analog inputs can be configured as eight singleended inputs, four true differential inputs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. 3. 500 kSPS serial interface. SPI®-/QSPI™-/DSP-/MICROWIRE™compatible interface. 4. Low power, 17 mW, at a maximum throughput rate of 500 kSPS. The AD7327 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The AD7327 has four software-selectable input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. Each analog input channel can be independently programmed to one of the four input ranges. The analog input channels on the AD7327 can be programmed to be single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential. 5. Channel sequencer. The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The AD7327 also allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is applied to the REFIN/OUT pin, the AD7327 can accept a true bipolar ±12 V analog input. Minimum ±12 V VDD and VSS supplies are required for the ±12 V input range. The ADC has a high speed serial interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 500 kSPS. Table 1.

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.

Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the AD7327 and frames the serial data transfer. Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the AD7327 on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Registers section). Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7327. The DGND and AGND voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7327. All analog input signals and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis. Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the AD7327. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at this pin. A 680 nF capacitor should be placed on the reference pin (see the Reference section). Alternatively, the internal reference can be disabled and an external reference applied to this input. On power-up, the external reference mode is the default condition. Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section. Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 7. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold. The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the Channel Address Bit ADD2 through Bit ADD0 in the control register. The inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs, four true differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. The configuration of the analog inputs is selected by programming the mode bits, Bit Mode 1 and Bit Mode 0, in the control register. The input range on each input channel is controlled by programming the range registers. Input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V can be selected on each analog input channel when a +2.5 V reference voltage is used (see the Registers section). Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section. Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC core on the AD7327. This supply should be decoupled to AGND. Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface operates. This pin should be decoupled to DGND. The voltage at this pin may be different to that at VCC, but it should not exceed VCC by more than 0.3 V. Serial Data Output. The conversion output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input, and 16 SCLKs are required to access the data. The data stream consists of three channel identification bits, the sign bit, and 12 bits of conversion data. The data is provided MSB first (see the Serial Interface section). Serial Clock, Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK used for accessing the data from the AD7327. This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.

THD vs. Analog Input Frequency for Various Source Impedances, Single-Ended Mode Rev. 0 | Page 13 of 36 AD7327 TERMINOLOGY Differential Nonlinearity This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC. Integral Nonlinearity This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (a point 1 LSB below the first code transition) and full scale (a point 1 LSB above the last code transition). Offset Code Error This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation of the first code transition (00 ... 000) to (00 ... 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB. Offset Error Match This is the difference in offset error between any two input channels. Gain Error This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation of the last code transition (111 ... 110) to (111 ... 111) from the ideal (that is, 4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF −1 LSB) after adjusting for the offset error. Gain Error Match This is the difference in gain error between any two input channels. Bipolar Zero Code Error This applies when using twos complement output coding and a bipolar analog input. It is the deviation of the midscale transition (all 1s to all 0s) from the ideal input voltage, that is, AGND − 1 LSB. Bipolar Zero Code Error Match This refers to the difference in bipolar zero code error between any two input channels. Positive Full-Scale Error This applies when using twos complement output coding and any of the bipolar analog input ranges. It is the deviation of the last code transition (011…110) to (011…111) from the ideal (4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF − 1 LSB) after adjusting for the bipolar zero code error. Positive Full-Scale Error Match This is the difference in positive full-scale error between any two input channels. Negative Full-Scale Error This applies when using twos complement output coding and any of the bipolar analog input ranges. This is the deviation of the first code transition (10 ... 000) to (10 ... 001) from the ideal (that is, −4 × VREF + 1 LSB, −2 × VREF + 1 LSB, −VREF + 1 LSB) after adjusting for the bipolar zero code error. Negative Full-Scale Error Match This is the difference in negative full-scale error between any two input channels. Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode after the 14th SCLK rising edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach its final value, within ±½ LSB, after the end of a conversion. For the ±2.5 V range, the specified acquisition time is the time required for the track-and-hold amplifier to settle to within ±1 LSB. Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio 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 non-fundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization process. The more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. Theoretically, the signal to (noise + distortion) ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB For a 13-bit converter, this is 80.02 dB. Total Harmonic Distortion Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7327, it is defined as THD(dB) = 20 log V2 2 + V3 2 + V 4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2 V1 where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the sixth harmonics. Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output spectrum (up to fS/2, excluding dc) to the rms value of the fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, the largest harmonic could be a noise peak. Rev. 0 | Page 14 of 36 AD7327 Channel-to-Channel Isolation Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk between any two channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale, 100 kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels and determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. Figure 14 shows the worstcase across all eight channels for the AD7327. The analog input range is programmed to be the same on all channels. Intermodulation Distortion With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms are those for which neither m nor n are equal to 0. For example, the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), whereas the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb). The AD7327 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used. In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves, whereas the third-order terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is per the THD specification, where it is the ratio of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels. PSR (Power Supply Rejection) Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but not the linearity of the converter. Power supply rejection is the maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a change in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the Typical Performance Characteristics section). CMRR (Common-Mode Rejection Ratio) CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV sine wave applied to the common-mode voltage of the VIN+ and VIN− frequency, fS, as CMRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/PfS) where Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output, and PfS is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output (see Figure 17). Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 36 AD7327 THEORY OF OPERATION CIRCUIT INFORMATION The AD7327 is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign, bipolar input, serial A/D converter. The AD7327 can accept bipolar input ranges that include ±10 V, ±5 V, and ±2.5 V; it can also accept a 0 V to +10 V unipolar input range. A different analog input range can be programmed on each analog input channel via the on-chip registers. The AD7327 has a high speed serial interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 500 kSPS. The AD7327 requires VDD and VSS dual supplies for the high voltage analog input structures. These supplies must be equal to or greater than the analog input range. See Table 6 for the requirements of these supplies for each analog input range. The AD7327 requires a low voltage 2.7 V to 5.25 V VCC supply to power the ADC core. Table 6. Reference and Supply Requirements for Each Analog Input Range ±5 ±2.5 0 to +10 Reference Voltage (V) 2.5 3.0 2.5 3.0 2.5 3.0 2.5 3.0 FullScale Input Range (V) ±10 ±12 ±5 ±6 ±2.5 ±3 0 to +10 0 to +12 The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The AD7327 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. However, the AD7327 can also work with an external reference. On power-up, the external reference operation is the default option. If the internal reference is the preferred option, the user must write to the reference bit in the control register to select the internal reference operation. The AD7327 also features power-down options to allow power savings between conversions. The power-down modes are selected by programming the on-chip control register, as described in the Modes of Operation section. CONVERTER OPERATION AVCC (V) 3/5 3/5 3/5 3/5 3/5 3/5 3/5 3/5 Minimum VDD/VSS (V) ±10 ±12 ±5 ±6 ±5 ±5 +10/AGND +12/AGND It may be necessary to decrease the throughput rate when the AD7327 is configured with the minimum VDD and VSS supplies in order to meet the performance specifications (see the Typical Performance Characteristics section). Figure 31 shows the change in THD as the VDD and VSS supplies are reduced. For ac performance at the maximum throughput rate, the THD degrades slightly as VDD and VSS are reduced. It might therefore be necessary to reduce the throughput rate when using minimum VDD and VSS supplies so that there is less degradation of THD and the specified performance can be maintained. The degradation is due to an increase in the on resistance of the input multiplexer when the VDD and VSS supplies are reduced. Figure 18 and Figure 19 show the change in INL and DNL as the VDD and VSS voltages are varied. For dc performance when operating at the maximum throughput rate, as the VDD and VSS supply voltages are reduced, the typical INL and DNL error remains constant. The AD7327 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter built around two capacitive DACs. Figure 23 and Figure 24 show simplified schematics of the ADC in singleended mode during the acquisition and conversion phases, respectively. Figure 25 and Figure 26 show simplified schematics of the ADC in differential mode during acquisition and conversion phases, respectively. The ADC is composed of control logic, a SAR, and capacitive DACs. In Figure 23 (the acquisition phase), SW2 is closed and SW1 is in Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling capacitor array acquires the signal on the input. CAPACITIVE DAC VIN0 B COMPARATOR CS A SW1 SW2 CONTROL LOGIC AGND 05401-017 Selected Analog Input Range (V) ±10 The analog inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs, four true differential inputs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. Selection can be made by programming the mode bits, Mode 0 and Mode 1, in the control register. Figure 23. ADC Acquisition Phase (Single-Ended) When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 24), SW2 opens and SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become unbalanced. The control logic and the charge redistribution DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the capacitive DAC to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code. Rev. 0 | Page 16 of 36 AD7327 The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7327 when twos complement coding is selected is shown in Figure 27. The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7327 when straight binary coding is selected is shown in Figure 28. CAPACITIVE DAC AGND 011...111 011...110 Figure 25 shows the differential configuration during the acquisition phase. For the conversion phase, SW3 opens and SW1 and SW2 move to Position B (see Figure 26). The output impedances of the source driving the VIN+ and VIN− pins must match; otherwise, the two inputs have different settling times, resulting in errors. ADC CODE Figure 24.

ADC Differential Configuration During Conversion Phase Output Coding The AD7327 default output coding is set to twos complement. The output coding is controlled by the coding bit in the control register. To change the output coding to straight binary coding, the coding bit in the control register must be set. When operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each channel in the sequence is the value written to the coding bit during the last write to the control register. Transfer Functions The analog inputs of the AD7327 can be configured as singleended, true differential, or pseudo differential via the control register mode bits (see Table 9). The AD7327 can accept true bipolar input signals. On power-up, the analog inputs operate as eight single-ended analog input channels. If true differential or pseudo differential is required, a write to the control register is necessary after power-up to change this configuration. Figure 29 shows the equivalent analog input circuit of the AD7327 in single-ended mode. Figure 30 shows the equivalent analog input structure in differential mode. The two diodes provide ESD protection for the analog inputs. VDD The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size is dependent on the analog input range selected. D VIN0 C1 Table 7.

Equivalent Analog Input Circuit (Single-Ended) AD7327 VDD VIN+ C1 R1 The AD7327 enters track on the 14th SCLK rising edge. When running the AD7327 at a throughput rate of 500 kSPS with a 10 MHz SCLK signal, the ADC has approximately C2 D 1.5 SCLK + t8 + tQUIET VSS to acquire the analog input signal. The ADC goes back into hold mode on the CS falling edge. C1 D VSS R1 C2 05401-024 D VIN– Figure 30. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit (Differential) Care should be taken to ensure that the analog input does not exceed the VDD and VSS supply rails by more than 300 mV. Exceeding this value causes the diodes to become forward biased and to start conducting into either the VDD supply rail or VSS supply rail. These diodes can conduct up to 10 mA without causing irreversible damage to the part. In Figure 29 and Figure 30, Capacitor C1 is typically 4 pF and can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a lumped component made up of the on resistance of the input multiplexer and the track-and-hold switch. Capacitor C2 is the sampling capacitor; its capacitance varies depending on the analog input range selected (see the Specifications section). As the VDD/VSS supply voltage is reduced, the on resistance of the input multiplexer increases. Therefore, based on the equation for tACQ, it is necessary to increase the amount of acquisition time provided to the AD7327, and hence decrease the overall throughput rate. Figure 31 shows that as the VDD and VSS supplies are reduced, the specified THD performance degrades slightly. If the throughput rate is reduced when operating with the minimum VDD and VSS supplies, the specified THD performance is maintained. –75 VCC = VDRIVE = 5V INTERNAL REFERENCE TA = 25°C FIN = 10kHz ±5V RANGE SE MODE –80 THD (dB) VDD –85 –90 Track-and-Hold Section 500kSPS The track-and-hold on the analog input of the AD7327 allows the ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale amplitude to 13-bit accuracy. The input bandwidth of the trackand-hold is greater than the Nyquist rate of the ADC. The AD7327 can handle frequencies up to 22 MHz. The track-and-hold enters its tracking mode on the 14th SCLK rising edge after the CS falling edge. The time required to acquire an input signal depends on how quickly the sampling capacitor is charged. With 0 source impedance, 305 ns is sufficient to acquire the signal to the 13-bit level. The acquisition time required is calculated using the following formula: tACQ = 10 × ((RSOURCE + R) C) where C is the sampling capacitance, and R is the resistance seen by the track-and-hold amplifier looking back on the input. For the AD7327, the value of R includes the on resistance of the input multiplexer and is typically 300 Ω. RSOURCE should include any extra source impedance on the analog input. –95 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 ±VDD/VSS SUPPLIES (V) 05401-051 D Figure 31. THD vs. ±VDD/VSS Supply Voltage at 500 kSPS Unlike other bipolar ADCs, the AD7327 does not have a resistive analog input structure. On the AD7327, the bipolar analog signal is sampled directly onto the sampling capacitor. This gives the AD7327 high analog input impedance. An approximation for the analog input impedance can be calculated from the following formula: Z = 1/(fS × CS) where fS is the sampling frequency, and CS is the sampling capacitor value. CS depends on the analog input range chosen (see the Specifications section). When operating at 500 kSPS, the analog input impedance is typically 145 kΩ for the ±10 V range. As the sampling frequency is reduced, the analog input impedance further increases. As the analog input impedance increases, the current required to drive the analog input therefore decreases. Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 36 AD7327 V+ TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM Figure 32 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7327. In this configuration, the AGND pin is connected to the analog ground plane of the system, and the DGND pin is connected to the digital ground plane of the system. The analog inputs on the AD7327 can be configured to operate in single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential mode. The AD7327 can operate with either an internal or external reference. In Figure 32, the AD7327 is configured to operate with the internal 2.5 V reference. A 680 nF decoupling capacitor is required when operating with the internal reference. The VCC pin can be connected to either a 3 V supply voltage or a 5 V supply voltage. The VDD and VSS are the dual supplies for the high voltage analog input structures. The voltage on these pins must be equal to or greater than the highest analog input range selected on the analog input channels (see Table 6). The VDRIVE pin is connected to the supply voltage of the microprocessor. The voltage applied to the VDRIVE input controls the voltage of the serial interface. VDRIVE can be set to 3 V or 5 V. +15V + 10µF 10µF VDD1 ANALOG INPUTS ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V 0V TO +10V V– 1ADDITIONAL PINS OMITTED FOR CLARITY. Figure 33.

VIN+ and VIN− should be simultaneously driven by two signals each of amplitude ±4 × VREF (depending on the input range selected) that are 180° out of phase. Assuming the ±4 × VREF mode, the amplitude of the differential signal is −20 V to +20 V p-p (2 × 4 × VREF), regardless of the common mode. The common mode is the average of the two signals Figure 32. Typical Connection Diagram (VIN+ + VIN−)/2 ANALOG INPUT Single-Ended Inputs The AD7327 has a total of eight analog inputs when operating the AD7327 in single-ended mode. Each analog input can be independently programmed to one of the four analog input ranges. In applications where the signal source is high impedance, it is recommended to buffer the signal before applying it to the ADC analog inputs. Figure 33 shows the configuration of the AD7327 in single-ended mode. and is therefore the voltage on which the two input signals are centered. This voltage is set up externally, and its range varies with reference voltage. As the reference voltage increases, the common-mode range decreases. When driving the differential inputs with an amplifier, the actual common-mode range is determined by the amplifier’s output swing. If the differential inputs are not driven from an amplifier, the common-mode range is determined by the supply voltage on the VDD and the VSS supply pins. When a conversion takes place, the common mode is rejected, resulting in a noise-free signal of amplitude −2 × (4 × VREF) to +2 × (4 × VREF) corresponding to Digital Codes −4096 to +4095.

The VIN+ inputs are coupled to the signal source and must have an amplitude within the selected range for that channel as programmed in the range registers. A dc input is applied to the VIN− pin. The voltage applied to this input provides an offset for the VIN+ input from ground or a pseudo ground. Pseudo differential inputs separate the analog input signal ground from the ADC ground, allowing cancellation of dc common mode voltages. ±5V RANGE ±2.5V RANGE ±2.5V RANGE 2 ±10V RANGE 0 –2 05401-046 VCC = 5V VREF = 3V –4 ±16.5V VDD/VSS ±12V VDD/VSS Figure 36.

Pseudo Differential Inputs Figure 40 and Figure 41 show the typical voltage range on the VIN− pin for the different analog input ranges when configured in the pseudo differential mode. For example, when the AD7327 is configured to operate in pseudo differential mode and the ±5 V range is selected, with ±16.5 V VDD/VSS supplies and 5 V VCC, the voltage on the VIN− pin can vary from −6.5 V to +6.5 V. Rev. 0 | Page 20 of 36 AD7327 8 6 4 The driver amplifier must be able to settle for a full-scale step to a 13-bit level, 0.0122%, in less than the specified acquisition time of the AD7327. An op amp such as the AD8021 meets this requirement when operating in single-ended mode. The AD8021 needs an external compensating NPO type of capacitor. The AD8022 can also be used in high frequency applications where a dual version is required. For lower frequency applications, op amps such as the AD797, AD845, and AD8610 can be used with the AD7327 in single-ended mode configuration. ±5V RANGE ±5V RANGE ±2.5V RANGE ±10V RANGE ±2.5V RANGE 2 0 –2 ±10V RANGE –6 –8 0V TO +10V RANGE VCC = 5V VREF = 2.5V ±16.5V VDD/VSS 0V TO +10V RANGE ±12V VDD/VSS Differential operation requires that VIN+ and VIN− be simultaneously driven with two signals of equal amplitude that are 180° out of phase. The common mode must be set up externally to the AD7327. The common-mode range is determined by the REFIN/ OUT voltage, the VCC supply voltage, and the particular amplifier used to drive the analog inputs. Differential mode with either an ac input or a dc input provides the best THD performance over a wide frequency range. Because not all applications have a signal preconditioned for differential operation, there is often a need to perform the single-ended-to-differential conversion. 05401-039 –4 Figure 40.

Pseudo Input Range with VCC = 3 V 3kΩ AD845 V+ DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE In applications where the harmonic distortion and signal-tonoise ratio are critical specifications, the analog input of the AD7327 should be driven from a low impedance source. Large source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the ADC and can necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier. 1.5kΩ 1.5kΩ 1.5kΩ V– 10kΩ AD845 05401-029 VCOM 20kΩ When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated in the application. The THD increases as the source impedance increases and performance degrades. Figure 21 and Figure 22 show graphs of the THD vs. the analog input frequency for various source impedances. Depending on the input range and analog input configuration selected, the AD7327 can handle source impedances of up to 5.5 kΩ before the THD starts to degrade. Figure 42.

Single-Ended-to-Differential Configuration with the AD8021 Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 36 AD7327 REGISTERS The AD7327 has four programmable registers: the control register, sequence register, Range Register 1, and Range Register 2. These registers are write-only registers. ADDRESSING REGISTERS A serial transfer on the AD7327 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to determine which register is addressed. The three MSBs consist of the write bit, Register Select 1 bit, and Register Select 2 bit. The register select bits are used to determine which of the four on-board registers is selected. The write bit determines if the data on the DIN line following the register select bits loads into the addressed register. If the write bit is 1, the bits load into the register addressed by the register select bits. If the write bit is 0, the data on the DIN line does not load into any register. Table 8.

Rev. 0 | Page 22 of 36 AD7327 CONTROL REGISTER The control register is used to select the analog input channel, analog input configuration, reference, coding, and power mode. The control register is a write-only, 12-bit register. Data loaded on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7327 configuration for the next conversion. If the sequence register is being used, data should be loaded into the control register after the range registers and the sequence register have been initialized. The bit functions of the control register are shown in Table 9 (the power-up status of all bits is 0).

If the sequencer is being used, the three channel address bits are used to select the final channel in a consecutive sequence. These two mode bits are used to select the configuration of the eight analog input pins, VIN0 to VIN7. These pins are used in conjunction with the channel address bits. On the AD7327, the analog inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential inputs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs (see Table 10). The power management bits are used to select different power mode options on the AD7327 (see Table 11). This bit is used to select the type of output coding the AD7327 uses for the next conversion result. If coding = 0, the output coding is twos complement. If coding = 1, the output coding is straight binary. When operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each channel is the value written to the coding bit during the last write to the control register. The reference bit is used to enable or disable the internal reference. If Ref = 0, the external reference is enabled and used for the next conversion and the internal reference is disabled. If Ref = 1, the internal reference is used for the next conversion. When operating in sequence mode, the reference used for each channel is the value written to the Ref bit during the last write to the control register. The Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 bits are used to control the operation of the sequencer (see Table 12). A 0 should be written to this bit at all times. The eight analog input channels can be configured as seven pseudo differential analog inputs, four pseudo differential inputs, four true differential inputs, or eight single-ended analog inputs.

The analog input channel, selected by programming the ADD2 bit to ADD0 bit in the control register, selects the next channel for conversion. Uses the sequence of channels previously programmed into the sequence register for conversion. The AD7327 starts converting on the lowest channel in the sequence. The channels are converted in ascending order. If uninterrupted, the AD7327 keeps converting the sequence. The range for each channel defaults to the range previously written into the corresponding range register. Used in conjunction with the channel address bits in the control register. This allows continuous conversions on a consecutive sequence of channels, from Channel 0 up to and including a final channel selected by the channel address bits in the control register. The range for each channel defaults to the range previously written into the corresponding range register. The channel sequencer is not used. The analog channel, selected by programming the ADD2 bit to ADD0 bit in the control register, selects the next channel for conversion. Rev. 0 | Page 24 of 36 AD7327 SEQUENCE REGISTER The sequence register on the AD7327 is an 8-bit, write-only register. Each of the eight analog input channels has one corresponding bit in the sequence register. To select an analog input channel for inclusion in the sequence, set the corresponding channel bit to 1 in the sequence register.

Range Register 1 is used to set the ranges for Channel 0 to Channel 3. It is an 8-bit, write-only register with two dedicated range bits for each of the analog input channels from Channel 0 to Channel 3. There are four analog input ranges, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. A write to Range Register 1 is selected by setting the write bit to 1 and the register select bits to 0 and 1. After the initial write to Range Register 1 occurs, each time an analog input is selected, the AD7327 automatically configures the analog input to the appropriate range, as indicated by Range Register 1. The ±10 V input range is selected by default on each analog input channel (see Table 13).

After the initial write to Range Register 2 occurs, each time an analog input is selected, the AD7327 automatically configures the analog input to the appropriate range, as indicated by Range Register 2.

Programmable Sequence Flowchart The AD7327 can be configured to automatically cycle through a number of selected channels using the on-chip sequence register with the Seq1 bit and the Seq2 bit in the control register. Figure 44 shows how to program the AD7327 register to operate in sequence mode. After power-up, all of the four on-chip registers contain default values. Each analog input has a default input range of ±10 V. If different analog input ranges are required, a write to the range registers is required. This is shown in the first two serial transfers of Figure 44. These two initial serial transfers are only necessary if input ranges other than the default ranges are required. After the analog input ranges are configured, a write to the sequence register is necessary to select the channels to be included in the sequence. Once the channels for the sequence have been selected, the sequence can be initiated by writing to the control register and setting Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 1. The AD7327 continues to convert through the selected sequence without interruption provided the sequence register remains unchanged and Seq1 = 0 and Seq2 = 1 in the control register. Rev. 0 | Page 26 of 36 AD7327 If a change to one of the range registers is required during a sequence, it is necessary to first stop the sequence by writing to the control register and setting Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 0. Next, the write to the range register should be completed to change the required range. The previously selected sequence should then be initiated again by writing to the control register and setting Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 1. The ADC converts the first channel in the sequence. The AD7327 can be configured to convert a sequence of consecutive channels (see Figure 45). This sequence begins by converting on Channel 0 and ends with a final channel as selected by Bit ADD2 to Bit ADD0 in the control register. In this configuration, there is no need for a write to the sequence register. To operate the AD7327 in this mode, set Seq1 to 1 and Seq2 to 0, and then select the final channel in the sequence by programming Bit ADD2 to Bit ADD0 in the control register. Once the control register is configured to operate the AD7327 in this mode, the DIN line can be held low or the write bit can be set to 0. To return to traditional multichannel operation, a write to the control register to set Seq1 to 0 and Seq2 to 0 is necessary. When Seq1 and Seq2 are both set to 0, or when both are set to 1, the AD7327 is configured to operate in traditional multichannel mode, where a write to the Channel Address Bit ADD2 to Bit ADD0 in the control register selects the next channel for conversion.

AD7327 REFERENCE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR The AD7327 can operate with either the internal 2.5 V on-chip reference or an externally applied reference. The internal reference is selected by setting the Ref bit in the control register to 1. On power-up, the Ref bit is 0, which selects the external reference for the AD7327 conversion. Suitable reference sources for the AD7327 include AD780, AD1582, ADR431, REF193, and ADR391. The AD7327 has an on-chip temperature indicator. The temperature indicator can be used to give local temperature measurements on the AD7327. To access the temperature indicator, the ADC should be configured in pseudo differential mode, Mode 1 = Mode 0 = 1, and Channel Bits ADD2, ADD1, and ADD0 should be set to 1. VIN7 must be tied to AGND or to a small dc voltage within the specified pseudo input range for the selected analog input range. When a conversion is initiated in this configuration, the output code represents the temperature (see Figure 46 and Figure 47). When using the temperature indicator on the AD7327, the part should be operated at low throughput rates, such as approximately 50 kSPS for the ±10 V range and 30 kSPS for the ±2.5 V range. The throughput rate is reduced for the temperature indicator mode because the AD7327 requires more acquisition time for this mode. The AD7327 is specified for a 2.5 V to 3 V reference range. When a 3 V reference is selected, the ranges are ±12 V, ±6 V, ±3 V, and 0 V to +12 V. For these ranges, the VDD and VSS supply must be equal to or greater than the maximum analog input range selected (see Table 6). 4420 VCC = VDRIVE = 5V VDD/VSS = ±12V 50kSPS 4410 4400 ±10V RANGE, INT REF 4390 4380 4370 4360 4350 4340 –40 VDRIVE –20 0 20 40 60 80 100 TEMPERATURE (°C) The AD7327 has a VDRIVE feature to control the voltage at which the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC to easily interface to both 3 V and 5 V processors. For example, if the AD7327 is operated with a VCC of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin can be powered from a 3 V supply. This allows the AD7327 to accept large bipolar input signals with low voltage digital processing. 05401-033 On power-up, if the internal reference operation is required for the ADC conversion, a write to the control register is necessary to set the Ref bit to 1. During the control register write, the conversion result from the first initial conversion is invalid. The reference buffer requires 500 μs to power up and charge the 680 nF decoupling capacitor during the power-up time. ADC OUTPUT CODE The internal reference circuitry consists of a 2.5 V band gap reference and a reference buffer. When operating the AD7327 in internal reference mode, the 2.5 V internal reference is available at the REFIN/OUT pin, which should be decoupled to AGND using a 680 nF capacitor. It is recommended that the internal reference be buffered before applying it elsewhere in the system. The internal reference is capable of sourcing up to 90 μA. Figure 46.

The AD7327 has several modes of operation that are designed to provide flexible power management options. These options can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for different application requirements. The mode of operation of the AD7327 is controlled by the power management bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, in the control register as shown in Table 11. The default mode is normal mode, where all internal circuitry is fully powered up. To complete the conversion and access the conversion result, 16 serial clock cycles are required. At the end of the conversion, CS can idle either high or low until the next conversion. NORMAL MODE Once the data transfer is complete, another conversion can be initiated after the quiet time, tQUIET, has elapsed. (PM1 = PM0 = 0) FULL SHUTDOWN MODE This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance with the AD7327 being fully powered up at all times. Figure 48 shows the general operation of the AD7327 in normal mode. (PM1 = PM0 = 1) In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7327 is powered down. The part retains information in the registers during full shutdown. The AD7327 remains in full shutdown mode until the power management bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, in the control register are changed. The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, and the track-and-hold section enters hold mode, as described in the Serial Interface section. Data on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK transfer is loaded into one of the on-chip registers if the write bit is set. The register is selected by programming the register select bits (see Table 8). A write to the control register with PM1 = 1 and PM0 = 1 places the part into full shutdown mode. The AD7327 enters full shutdown mode on the 15th SCLK rising edge once the control register is updated. CS 1 If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full shutdown mode with the power management bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PM0, set to 0 (normal mode), the part begins to power up on the 15th SCLK rising edge once the control register is updated. Figure 49 shows how the AD7327 is configured to exit full shutdown mode. To ensure the AD7327 is fully powered up, tPOWER-UP should elapse before the next CS falling edge. 16 SCLK DOUT 05401-035 3 CHANNEL I.D.

In autoshutdown mode, all internal circuitry is powered down. The AD7327 retains information in the registers during autoshutdown. The track-and-hold is in hold mode during autoshutdown. On the rising CS edge, the track-and-hold, which was in hold during autoshutdown, returns to track as the AD7327 begins to power up. The power-up from autoshutdown is 500 μs. When the control register is programmed to transition to autoshutdown mode, it does so on the 15th SCLK rising edge. Figure 50 shows the part entering autoshutdown mode. The AD7327 automatically begins to power up on the CS rising edge. The tPOWER-UP is required before a valid conversion, initiated by bringing the CS signal low, can take place. Once this valid conversion is complete, the AD7327 powers down again on the 15th SCLK rising edge. The CS signal must remain low again to keep the part in autoshutdown mode. As is the case with autoshutdown mode, the AD7327 enters standby on the 15th SCLK rising edge once the control register is updated (see Figure 50). The part retains information in the registers during standby. The AD7327 remains in standby until it receives a CS rising edge. The ADC begins to power up on the CS rising edge. On the CS rising edge, the track-and-hold, which was in hold mode while the part was in standby, returns to track. The power-up time from standby is 700 ns. The user should ensure that 700 ns have elapsed before bringing CS low to attempt a valid conversion. Once this valid conversion is complete, the AD7327 again returns to standby on the 15th SCLK rising edge. The CS signal must remain low to keep the part in standby mode. Figure 50 shows the part entering autoshutdown mode. The sequence of events is the same when entering autostandby mode. In Figure 50, the power management bits are configured for autoshutdown. For autostandby mode, the power management bits, PM1 and PM0, should be set to 0 and 1, respectively. AUTOSTANDBY MODE (PM1 = 0, PM0 =1) In autostandby mode, portions of the AD7327 are powered down, but the on-chip reference remains powered up. The reference bit in the control register should be 1 to ensure that the on-chip reference is enabled. This mode is similar to autoshutdown but allows the AD7327 to power up much faster, which allows faster throughput rates.

The static power consumed by the AD7327 is very low, and significant power savings can be achieved as the throughput rate is reduced. Figure 51 and Figure 52 shows the power vs. throughput rate for the AD7327 at a VCC of 3 V and 5 V, respectively. Both plots clearly show that the average power consumed by the AD7327 is greatly reduced as the sample frequency is reduced. This is true whether a fixed SCLK value is used or if it is scaled with the sampling frequency. Figure 51 and Figure 52 show the power consumption when operating in normal mode for a variable SCLK that scales with the sampling frequency. AD7327 SERIAL INTERFACE Figure 53 shows the timing diagram for the serial interface of the AD7327. The serial clock applied to the SCLK pin provides the conversion clock and controls the transfer of information to and from the AD7327 during a conversion. Data is clocked into the AD7327 on the SCLK falling edge. The three MSBs on the DIN line are decoded to select which register is addressed. The control register is a 12-bit register. If the control register is addressed by the three MSBs, the data on the DIN line is loaded into the control on the 15th SCLK falling edge. If the sequence register or either of the range registers is addressed, the data on the DIN line is loaded into the addressed register on the 11th SCLK falling edge. The CS signal initiates the data transfer and the conversion process. The falling edge of CS puts the track-and-hold into hold mode and takes the bus out of three-state. Then the analog input signal is sampled. Once the conversion is initiated, it requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. Conversion data is clocked out of the AD7327 on each SCLK falling edge. Data on the DOUT line consists of three channel identifier bits, a sign bit, and a 12-bit conversion result. The channel identifier bits are used to indicate which channel corresponds to the conversion result. The ADD2 bit is clocked out on the CS falling edge, and the ADD1 bit is clocked out on the first SCLK falling edge. The track-and-hold goes back into track mode on the 14th SCLK rising edge. On the 16th SCLK falling edge, the DOUT line returns to three-state. If the rising edge of CS occurs before 16 SCLK cycles have elapsed, the conversion is terminated, and the DOUT line returns to three-state. Depending on where the CS signal is brought high, the addressed register may be updated. t1 CS tCONVERT t2 1 2 3 4 3 IDENTIFICATION BITS t3 DOUT THREE- ADD2 STATE DIN ADD1 WRITE ADD0 SIGN t4 13 14 DB11 15 16 t5 t7 DB10 DB2 t8 DB1 DB0 t10 t9 REG SEL1 5 REG SEL2 tQUIET THREE-STATE MSB LSB DON’T CARE Figure 53.

This section explains how to interface the AD7327 with some common microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols. AD7327 TO ADSP-21xx The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs interface directly to the AD7327 without requiring glue logic. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7327 takes the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP-21xx. This allows the ADC to operate at a higher supply voltage than its serial interface. The SPORT0 on the ADSP-21xx should be configured as shown in Table 14. Table 14. SPORT0 Control Register Setup Setting TFSW = RFSW = 1 INVRFS = INVTFS = 1 DTYPE = 00 SLEN = 1111 ISCLK = 1 TFSR = RFSR = 1 IRFS = 0 ITFS = 1 Description Alternative framing Active low frame signal Right justify data 16-bit data-word Internal serial clock Frame every word The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register. When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (AX0 = TX0), the state of the serial clock is checked. The DSP waits until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high again before starting the transmission. If the timer and SCLK are chosen so that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising edge of SCLK, data can be transmitted immediately or at the next clock edge. For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of 16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, an SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods elapse for every one SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded with the value 803, 100.5 SCLKs occur between interrupts and, subsequently, between transmit instructions. This situation leads to nonequidistant sampling because the transmit instruction occurs on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is an integer of N, equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP. AD7327 TO ADSP-BF53x The connection diagram is shown in Figure 54. The ADSP-21xx has TFS0 and RFS0 tied together. TFS0 is set as an output, and RFS0 is set as an input. The DSP operates in alternative framing mode, and the SPORT0 control register is set up as described in Table 14. The frame synchronization signal generated on the TFS is tied to CS, and, as with all signal processing applications, requires equidistant sampling. However, as in this example, the timer interrupt is used to control the sampling rate of the ADC, and under certain conditions equidistant sampling cannot be achieved. The ADSP-BF53x family of DSPs interfaces directly to the AD7327 without requiring glue logic, as shown in Figure 55. The SPORT0 Receive Configuration 1 register should be set up as outlined in Table 15.

Interfacing the AD7327 to the ADSP-21xx The timer registers are loaded with a value that provides an interrupt at the required sampling interval. When an interrupt is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control word). The TFS is used to control the RFS, and hence the reading of data.

This design facilitates the use of ground planes that can easily be separated. To provide optimum shielding for ground planes, a minimum etch technique is generally best. All AGND pins on the AD7327 should be connected to the AGND plane. Digital and analog ground pins should be joined in only one place. If the AD7327 is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND and DGND connection, the connection should still be made at only one point. A star point should be established as close as possible to the ground pins on the AD7327. Good connections should be made to the power and ground planes. This can be done with a single via or multiple vias for each supply and ground pin. Avoid running digital lines under the AD7327 device because this couples noise onto the die. However, the analog ground plane should be allowed to run under the AD7327 to avoid noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7327 device should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line. To avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, components, such as clocks, with fast switching signals should be shielded with digital ground and never run near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. To reduce the effects of feedthrough within the board, traces should be run at right angles to each other. A microstrip technique is the best method, but its use may not be possible with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to ground planes, and signals are placed on the other side. Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should be decoupled with 10 μF tantalum capacitors in parallel with 0.1 μF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best results from these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The 0.1 μF capacitors should have a low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI), such as is typical of common ceramic and surface mount types of capacitors. These low ESR, low ESI capacitors provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal logic switching.
