The AD7176-2 is a fast settling, highly accurate, high resolution,
multiplexed Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for low bandwidth input signals. Its inputs can be configured as two fully
differential or four pseudo differential inputs via the integrated
crosspoint multiplexer. An integrated precision, 2.5 V, low drift
(2 ppm/°C), band gap internal reference (with an output
reference buffer) adds functionality and reduces the external
component count.
The maximum channel scan data rate is 50 kSPS (with a settling
time of 20 µs), resulting in fully settled data of 17 noise free bits.
User-selectable output data rates range from 5 SPS to 250 kSPS.
The resolution increases at lower speeds.
The AD7176-2 offers three key digital filters. The fast settling filter
maximizes the channel scan rate. The Sinc3 filter maximizes the
resolution for single-channel, low speed applications. For 50 Hz
and 60 Hz environments, the AD7176-2 specific filter minimizes
the settling times or maximizes the rejection of the line frequency.
These enhanced filters enable simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection with a 27 SPS output data rate (with a settling time of 36 ms).
System offset and gain errors can be corrected on a per channel
basis. This per channel configurability extends to the type of filter
and output data rate used for each channel. All switching of the
crosspoint multiplexer is controlled by the ADC and can be configured to automatically control an external multiplexer via the
GPIO pins.
APPLICATIONS
Process control: PLC/DCS modules
Temperature and pressure measurement
Medical and scientific multichannel instrumentation
Chromatography
The specified operating temperature range is −40°C to +105°C.
The AD7176-2 is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP package.

Specification is not production tested but is supported by characterization data at the initial product release.
Following a system or internal zero-scale calibration, the offset error is in the order of the noise for the programmed output data rate selected. A system full-scale
calibration reduces the gain error to the order of the noise for the programmed output data rate.

Description
Analog Input 4. Selectable through crosspoint multiplexer.
Reference Input Negative Terminal. REF− can span from AVSS to AVDD1 − 1 V.
Reference Input Positive Terminal. An external reference can be applied between REF+ and REF−. REF+ can
span from AVDD1 to AVSS + 1 V. The part functions with a reference from 1 V to AVDD1.
Buffered Output of Internal Reference. The output is 2.5 V with respect to AVSS.
Analog LDO Regulator Output. Decouple this pin to AVSS using a 1 µF capacitor.
Negative Analog Supply. This supply ranges from 0 V to −2.75 V and is nominally set to 0 V.
Analog Supply Voltage 1. This voltage is 5 V ± 10% with respect to AVSS.
Analog Supply Voltage 2. This voltage ranges from 2 V to AVDD1 with respect to AVSS.
Input 1 for Crystal.
Clock Input or Output (Based on the CLOCKSEL Bits in the ADCMODE Register)/Input 2 for Crystal. There
are four options available:
Internal oscillator—no output.
Internal oscillator—output to CLKIO/XTAL2. Operates at IOVDD logic level.
External clock—input to CLKIO/XTAL2. Input should be at IOVDD logic level.
External crystal—connected between XTAL1 and CLKIO/XTAL2.
Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDY serves a dual purpose. It functions as a serial data
output pin to access the output shift register of the ADC. The output shift register can contain data from
any of the on-chip data or control registers. The data-word/control word information is placed on the
DOUT/RDY pin on the SCLK falling edge and is valid on the SCLK rising edge. When CS is high, the
DOUT/RDY output is tristated. When CS is low, DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready pin, going low to
indicate the completion of a conversion. If the data is not read after the conversion, the pin goes high
before the next update occurs. The DOUT/RDY falling edge can be used as an interrupt to a processor,
indicating that valid data is available.
Serial Data Input to the Input Shift Register on the ADC. Data in this shift register is transferred to the
control registers in the ADC, with the register address (RA) bits of the communications register identifying
the appropriate register. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of SCLK.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is for data transfers to and from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitttriggered input, making the interface suitable for opto-isolated applications.
Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic input used to select the ADC. CS can be used to select the ADC
in systems with more than one device on the serial bus. CS can be hardwired low, allowing the ADC to
operate in 3-wire mode with SCLK, DIN, and DOUT used to interface with the device. When CS is high, the
DOUT/RDY output is tristated.

Description
Can be switched between a logic input and a logic output in the GPIOCON register. When synchronization
input is enabled, this pin allows for synchronization of the digital filters and analog modulators when
using multiple AD7176-2 devices. When synchronization input is disabled, this pin can be used in one of
three modes:
Active low error input mode: this mode sets the ADC_ERROR bit in the STATUS register.
Active low, open-drain error output mode: the STATUS register error bits are mapped to the ERROR pin.
The ERROR pins of multiple devices can be wired together to a common pull-up resistor so that an error
on any device can be observed.
General-purpose output mode: the status of the pin is controlled by the ERR_DAT bit in the GPIOCON register.
The pin is referenced between IOVDD and DGND, as opposed to the AVDD1 and AVSS levels used by the
GPIO pins. The pin has an active pull-up in this case.
Digital I/O Supply Voltage. IOVDD voltage ranges from 2 V to 5 V. IOVDD is independent of AVDD2. For
example, IOVDD can be operated at 3 V when AVDD2 equals 5 V, or vice versa. If AVSS is set to −2.5 V, the
voltage on IOVDD must not exceed 3.6 V.

The peak-to-peak resolution represents the resolution for which
there is no code flicker.

Data Sheet
GETTING STARTED
The AD7176-2 includes a precision 2.5 V low drift (2 ppm/°C)
band gap internal reference. This reference can be selected to
be used for the ADC conversions, reducing the external component count. Alternatively, the reference can be output to the
REFOUT pin to be used as a low noise biasing voltage for the
external circuitry. An example of this is using the REFOUT
signal to set the input common mode for an external driving
amplifier.
The AD7176-2 offers the user a fast settling, high resolution,
multiplexed ADC with high levels of configurability.
•
•
Two fully differential or four single-ended analog inputs.
Crosspoint multiplexer selects any analog input combination as the input signals to be converted, routing them to
the modulator positive or negative input.
Fully differential input, single-ended relative to any analog
input and pseudo differential configuration available.
Per channel configurability—up to four different setups
can be defined. A separate setup can be mapped to each of
the channels. Each setup allows the user to configure:
• Gain and offset correction
• Filter type
• Output data rate
• Reference source selection (internal/external)
The AD7176-2 includes two separate linear regulator blocks for
both the analog and digital circuitry. The analog LDO regulates
the AVDD2 supply to 2 V supplying the ADC core. The user
can tie the AVDD1 and AVDD2 supplies together for easiest
connection. If there is already a clean analog supply rail in the
system in the range of 2 V to 5 V, the user can also choose to
connect this to the AVDD2 input, allowing for lower power
dissipation.

Data Sheet
AD7176-2
The AD7176-2 can be used across a wide variety of applications,
providing high resolution and accuracy. A sample of these
scenarios is as follows:
•
•
•
Fast scanning of analog input channels using the internal
multiplexer.
Fast scanning of analog input channels using an external
multiplexer.
High resolution at lower speeds in either channel scanning
or ADC per channel applications.
Single ADC per channel: the fast low latency output allows
further application specific filtering in an external microcontroller, DSP, or FPGA.
POWER SUPPLIES
The AD7176-2 has three independent power supply pins:
AVDD1, AVDD2, and IOVDD.
AVDD1 powers the front-end circuitry, including the crosspoint
multiplexer. AVDD1 is referenced to AVSS and AVDD1 − AVSS
= 5 V only. This can be a single 5 V supply or a ±2.5 V split
supply. The split supply operation allows for true bipolar inputs.
When using split supplies, the absolute maximum ratings (see
the Absolute Maximum Ratings section) must be kept in mind.
The communications register controls access to the full register
map of the ADC. This register is an 8-bit write only register. On
power-up or after a reset, the digital interface defaults to a state
where it is expected a write to the communications register;
therefore, all communication begins by writing to the
communications register.
The data written to the communications register determines
which register is being accessed and if the next operation is a
read or write. The register address bits (RA[5:0]) determine the
specific register to which the read or write operation applies.
When the read or write operation to the selected register is
complete, the interface returns to its defaults state, where it
expects a write operation to the communications register.
In situations where interface synchronization is lost, a write
operation of at least 64 serial clock cycles with DIN high returns
the ADC to its default state by resetting the entire part, including
the register contents. Alternatively, if CS is being used with the
digital interface, returning CS high sets the digital interface to
its default state and aborts any current operation.
Figure 26 and Figure 27 illustrate writing to and reading from a
register by first writing the 8-bit command to the communications
register followed by the data for that register.

The AD7176-2 has a 3- or 4-wire SPI interface that is compatible
with QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, and DSPs. The interface operates
in SPI Mode 3 and can be operated with CS tied low. In SPI
Mode 3, the SCLK idles high, the falling edge of SCLK is the
drive edge, and the rising edge of SCLK is the sample edge. This
means that data is clocked out on the falling/drive edge and data
is clocked in on the rising/sample edge.

IOVDD powers the internal 1.8 V digital LDO regulator. This
regulator powers the digital logic of the ADC. IOVDD sets the
voltage levels for the SPI interface of the ADC. IOVDD is referenced to DGND, and IOVDD − DGND can vary from 5 V to 2 V.

The linear regulator for the digital IOVDD supply performs a
similar function, regulating the input voltage applied at the
IOVDD pin to 2 V for the internal digital filtering. The serial
interface signals always operate from the IOVDD supply seen at
the pin. This means that if 3.3 V is applied to the IOVDD pin,
the interface logic inputs and outputs operate at this level.

CRC enable, data + status read and continuous read mode.
The ADC mode register is used primarily to set the conversion
mode of the ADC to either continuous or single conversion.
The user can also select the standby and power-down modes as
well as any of the calibration modes. In addition, this register
contains the clock source select bits and the internal reference

ADC Setups
The AD7176-2 has four independent setups (see Block B in
Figure 28). Each setup consists of the following four registers:
Filter Configuration Register
•
•
•
•
The filter configuration register is used to select which digital
filter is used at the output of the ADC modulator. The order of
the filter and the output data rate is selected by setting the bits
in this register. For more information, see the Digital Filters section.
Setup configuration register
Filter configuration register
Offset register
Gain register
Offset Register
For example, Setup 0 consists of Setup Configuration 0, Filter
Configuration 0, Offset 0, and Gain 0. The setup is selectable
from the channel map registers detailed in the Channel Map
Configuration section. This allows each channel to be assigned
to a separate setup; therefore, each channel is fully configurable
because each setup has its own filter, offset, and gain register.
Table 11 through Table 14 show the four registers that are
associated with Setup 0.
The offset register holds the offset calibration coefficient for the
ADC. The power-on reset value of the offset register is 0x800000.
The offset register is a 24-bit read/write register. The power-on
reset value is automatically overwritten if an internal or system
zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user or if the offset register
is written to by the user.
Gain Register
Setup Configuration Register
The gain register is a 24-bit register that holds the gain
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The gain registers are
read/write registers. These registers are configured at power-on
with factory calibrated coefficients. Therefore, every device has
different default coefficients. The default value is automatically
overwritten if a system full-scale calibration is initiated by the
user or if the gain register is written to by the user. For more
information on calibration, see the Operating Modes section.
The setup configuration registers allow the user to select the output
coding of the ADC by selecting between bipolar and unipolar. In
bipolar mode, the ADC accepts negative differential input voltages,
and the output coding is offset binary. In unipolar mode, the ADC
accepts only positive differential voltages, and the coding is straight
binary. In either case, the input voltage must be within the supply
voltages. The user can also select the reference source using this
register. There are three options available—an internal 2.5 V

Channel Map Configuration
The AD7176-2 has four independent channels (see Block C in
Figure 28). The user can select which of the four setups is used
for each channel. This allows for per channel configuration.
Channel Map Register
The channel map register is used to select which of the five
analog input pins are used as either the positive analog input or
the negative analog input for that channel. This register also
contains a channel enable/disable bit and the setup selection
bits, which are used to pick which of the four available setups
are used for this channel.
When the AD7176-2 is operating in continuous conversion
mode with more than one channel enabled, the channel
sequencer cycles through the enabled channels in sequential
order, from Channel Map 0 to Channel Map 3. If a channel is
disabled, it is skipped by the sequencer. Details of the channel
map register for Channel 0 are shown in Table 15.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Fully Differential Inputs
ANALOG INPUT
The AD7176-2 has five analog input pins: AIN0, AIN1, AIN2,
AIN3, and AIN4. Each of these pins connects to the internal
crosspoint multiplexer. The crosspoint multiplexer enables any of
these inputs to be configured as an input pair, either pseudo
differential or fully differential. The AD7176-2 can have up to four
active channels. When more than one channel is enabled, the
channels are automatically sequenced in order. The output of
the multiplexer is connected directly to the switched-capacitor
input of the ADC. The simplified analog input circuit is shown in
Figure 29.

If two fully differential input paths are connected to the AD7176-2,
using AIN0/AIN1 as one differential input pair and AIN2/AIN3
as the second differential input pair is recommended. This is
due to the relative locations of these pins to each other. All
analog inputs should be decoupled to AVSS.
The user can also choose to measure four different single-ended
analog inputs. In this case, each of the analog inputs is converted
as being the difference between the single-ended input to be
measured and a set analog input common pin. Because there is
a crosspoint multiplexer, the user can set any of the analog inputs
as the common pin. An example of such a scenario is to connect
the AIN4 pin to AVSS or to the REFOUT voltage (that is, AVSS
+ 2.5 V) and select this input when configuring the crosspoint
multiplexer. When using the AD7176-2 with pseudo differential
inputs, the INL specification is degraded.
AIN0
AIN1
Because the AIN0 to AIN4 analog inputs are connected to a
crosspoint multiplexer, any combination of signals can be used
to create an analog input pair. This allows the user to select two
fully differential inputs or four pseudo differential inputs.

To drive the analog input switch capacitor, an external amplifier
is required. Details of three recommended amplifiers for the
AD7176-2 are shown in the Driver Amplifiers section. Each of
the amplifiers can run from a single 5 V voltage rail.

Figure 29. Simplified Analog Input Circuit
The CS1 and CS2 capacitors have a magnitude in the order of a
number of picofarads each. This capacitance is the combination
of both the sampling capacitance and the parasitic capacitance.
The average input current to the AD7176-2 changes linearly with
the differential input voltage at a rate of 48 µA/V. Each of the
analog inputs must be buffered externally not only to provide
the varying input current with differential input amplitude but
also to settle the switched-capacitor input to allow for accurate
sampling.
Recommended amplifiers for this purpose are discussed in the
Driver Amplifiers section.

with a fixed common mode of 2.5 V. The output of the AD8475
amplifier is connected to an RC network. The RC network, as
shown in Figure 30, includes RIN = 10 Ω; C1, C2 = 270 pF; and
C3 = 680 pF. The RC circuit acts to provide the dynamic charge
required by the AD7176-2 switched sampling capacitors while
isolating the amplifier output from any kickback from the
dynamic switched capacitor input. The configuration of the
AD8475 in Figure 30 shows a fully differential signal source
with a gain of 0.4×.
The AD8475 features an attenuating input stage of 0.8× or 0.4×
(using integrated precision resistors), allowing inputs in the ±10 V
range with a single 5 V supply and a 3 mA current consumption
to be used. The AD8475 performs single-ended to differential
conversions, allows easy setting of the common-mode output,
and drives the AD7176-2 with a differential input.
Figure 30 shows a typical connection to the AD7176-2, where
two AD8475 amplifiers attenuate two differential inputs and
then drive the AD7176-2 inputs. The common-mode output of
the AD8475 is set by connecting the internal, buffered 2.5 V
reference of the AD7176-2 to the VOCM pin of the AD8475.
The output of the AD8475 to the AD7176-2 is fully differential
The AD8475 can also be set up to convert single-ended signals
to fully differential inputs. Ground the −IN 0.4× input and
apply the single-ended input to the +IN 0.4× input.

AD7176-2
AD8656
The AD8656 is a low noise, dual precision CMOS amplifier. The
AD8656 allows the user to connect a signal of interest directly
to a high impedance, low noise, low offset amplifier input that
can drive the AD7176-2 switched capacitor input. The AD8656
can operate from a single 5 V supply. When using an external
5 V reference such as the ADR445 in conjunction with the
AD7176-2, the AD8656 output can swing to within −1 dBFS
(which equates to a differential input of ±4.45 V) of the ADC
input range.
A simple configuration for use of the AD8656 is to connect the
amplifiers in a configuration for a gain of more than 1. Each of
the AD7176-2 analog inputs has its own amplifier. This allows
the user to connect either fully differential inputs or single-ended
inputs to the AD7176-2. The example shown in Figure 31 is
configured with two fully differential inputs connecting to the
AIN0/AIN1 pair and the AIN2/AIN3 pair.
The high impedance input to the amplifier allows the user to
band-limit the input with a suitable passive filter RC combination.
The gain of the configuration used is set by the RG and RF resistors.
To improve accuracy, use precision resistors for RG and RF.
Setting RG = RF = 1 kΩ results in a gain of 2 for the circuit. The
matching of the RG and RF resistors directly affects the gain
error of the circuit. The drift and matching of these resistors
affect the gain error drift of the circuit. A 10 Ω source resistor (RS)
is placed between the feedback resistor (RF) and the amplifier
output. This resistor acts to isolate the amplifier from any
kickback from the ADC input and does not directly affect the
gain error of the circuit.
The output of each of the amplifier pairs is connected directly
to a network of decoupling and differential capacitors prior to
being connected to the AD7176-2 analog inputs. The capacitor
network shown in Figure 31 includes C1, C2 = 270 pF and C3 =
680 pF. The capacitor network acts to provide the dynamic charge
required by the AD7176-2 switched sampling capacitors.
The circuit example in Figure 31 requires inclusion of two
precision gain resistors per amplifier (RG and RF). Choose the
value, precision, and matching of such resistors according to the
requirements of the application.

are recommended for use. The external reference should be
applied to the AD7176-2 reference pins as shown in Figure 32.
The output of any external reference should be decoupled to
AVSS. As shown in Figure 32, the ADR445 output is decoupled
with a 0.1 µF capacitor at its output for stability purposes. The
output is then connected to a 4.7 µF capacitor, which acts as a
reservoir for any dynamic charge required by the ADC, and
followed by a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor at the REF+ input.
This capacitor is placed as close as possible to the REF+ and
REF− pins. The REF− pin is connected directly to the AVSS
potential. On power-up of the AD7176-2, the internal reference
is enabled by default and is output on the REFOUT pin. When
an external reference is used instead of the internal reference to
supply the AD7176-2, attention must be paid to the output of
the REFOUT pin. If the internal reference is not being used
elsewhere in the application, ensure that the REFOUT pin is not
hardwired to AVSS because this will draw a large current on
power-up. On power-up if the internal reference is not being
used, write to the ADC mode register, disabling the internal
reference. This is controlled by the REF_EN bit (Bit 15) in the
ADC mode register and is shown in Table 17.
The ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 is an alternate option to drive
the AD7176-2. It is a low noise, low distortion fully differential
amplifier with very low power consumption (1.25 mA of quiescent
current). The AD7176-2 REFOUT pin can be used to connect
to the ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2 to set the common-mode output
to 2.5 V. This option requires the use of external resistors to set
the gain of the amplifier.
AD7176-2 REFERENCE
The AD7176-2 offers the user the option of either supplying an
external reference to the REF+ and REF− pins of the device or
allowing the use of the internal 2.5 V, low noise, low drift reference.
Select the reference source to be used by the analog input by setting
the REF_SELx bits (Bits[5:4]) in the setup configuration registers
appropriately. The structure of the Setup Configuration 0 register
is shown in Table 16. The AD7176-2 defaults on power-up to
use the internal 2.5 V reference.
External Reference
The AD7176-2 has a fully differential reference input applied
through the REF+ and REF− pins. Standard low noise, low drift

AD7176-2
The AD7176-2 includes its own low noise, low drift voltage
reference. The internal reference has a 2.5 V output. The internal
reference is output on the REFOUT pin after the REF_EN bit in
the ADC mode register is set and is decoupled to AVSS with a
0.1 µF capacitor. The AD7176-2 internal reference is enabled by
default on power-up and is selected as the reference source for
the ADC.
The REFOUT signal is buffered prior to being output to the pin.
The signal can be used externally in the circuit as a common-mode
source for external amplifier configurations. This is shown in
Figure 30 in the Driver Amplifiers section, where the REFOUT pin
supplies the VOCM input of the AD8475 amplifier.
AD7176-2 CLOCK SOURCE
The AD7176-2 requires a master clock of 16 MHz. The AD7176-2
can source its sampling clock from one of three scenarios:
•
•
•
Internal oscillator
External crystal
External clock source
All output data rates listed in the data sheet relate to a master
clock rate of 16 MHz. Using a lower clock frequency from, for
instance, an external source will scale any listed data rate
proportionally. To achieve the specified data rates, particularly
rates for rejection of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, a 16 MHz clock should
be used. The source of the master clock is selected by setting the
CLOCKSEL bits (Bits[3:2]) in the ADC mode register as shown
in Table 17. The default operation on power-up and reset of the
AD7176-2 is to operate with the internal oscillator.
introduced by the output driver. The extent to which the
performance is affected depends on the IOVDD voltage supply.
Higher IOVDD voltages create a wider logic output swing from
the driver and affect performance to a greater extent. This is
further exaggerated if the IOSTRENGTH bit is set at higher
IOVDD levels (see Table 25 for more information).
External Crystal
If higher precision, lower jitter clock sources are required, the
AD7176-2 has the ability to use an external crystal to generate
the master clock. The crystal is connected to the XTAL1 and
XTAL2 pins. A recommended crystal for use is the FA-20H—a
16 MHz, 10 ppm, 9 pF crystal from Epson-Toyocom—which is
available in a surface-mounted package. As shown in Figure 33,
allow for two capacitors to be inserted from the traces
connecting the crystal to the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. These
capacitors allow for circuit tuning. Connect these capacitors to
the DGND pin. The value for these capacitors depends on the
length and capacitance of the trace connections between the
crystal and the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. Therefore, the values
of these capacitors differ depending on the PCB layout and the
crystal employed. As a result, empirical testing of the circuit is
required.

Internal Oscillator
The internal oscillator runs at 16 MHz and can be used as the
ADC master clock. It is the default clock source for the AD7176-2
and is specified with an accuracy of ±2.5%.
There is an option to allow the internal clock oscillator to be
output on the AD7176-2 CLKIO/XTAL2 pin. The clock output
is driven to the IOVDD logic level. Use of this option can affect
the dc performance of the AD7176-2 due to the disturbance
External Clock
The AD7176-2 can also use an externally supplied clock. In
systems where this is desirable, the external clock is routed to
the CLKIO pin. In this configuration, the CLKIO pin accepts
the externally sourced clock and routes it to the modulator. The
logic level of this clock input is defined by the voltage applied to
the IOVDD pin.

SINC3_MAP enabled by setting the FILTCONx[14:0] bits to a

The Sinc3 filter achieves the best single-channel noise performance
at lower rates and is, therefore, most suitable for single-channel

The AD7176-2 can be configured by setting the SING_CYC bit
in the ADC mode register so that only fully settled data is output,
thus effectively putting the ADC into a single cycle settling mode.
This mode achieves single cycle settling by reducing the output
data rate to be equal to the settling time of the ADC for the selected
output data rate. This bit has no effect with the Sinc5 + Sinc1 at
output data rates of 10 kSPS and lower.
Figure 37 shows a step on the analog input with this mode
disabled and the Sinc3 filter selected. It takes at least three
cycles after the step change for the output to reach the final
settled value.

The output data rates with the accompanying settling time and

It is possible to finely tune the output data rate for the Sinc3 filter by
setting the SINC3_MAP bit in the filter configuration register. If
this bit is set, the mapping of the filter register changes to directly
program the decimation rate of the Sinc3 filter. All other options
are eliminated. The data rate when on a single channel can be

ENHANCED 50 HZ AND 60 HZ REJECTION FILTERS
The enhanced filters are designed to provide rejection of 50 Hz
and 60 Hz simultaneously and to allow the user to trade off
settling time and rejection. These filters can operate up to
27.27 SPS or can reject up to 90 dB of 50 Hz ± 1 Hz and 60 Hz
± 1 Hz interference. These filters are realized by post filtering
the output of the Sinc5 + Sinc1 filter. For this reason, the Sinc5
+ Sinc1 filter must be selected when using the enhanced filters.
Table 20 shows the output data rates with the accompanying
settling time, rejection, and rms noise. Figure 39 to Figure 46
show the frequency domain plots of the responses from the
enhanced filters.

OPERATING MODES
CONTINUOUS CONVERSION MODE
Continuous conversion is the default power-up mode. The
AD7176-2 converts continuously, and the RDY bit in the status
register goes low each time a conversion is complete. If CS is low,
the DOUT/RDY line also goes low when a conversion is complete.
To read a conversion, the user writes to the communications
register, indicating that the next operation is a read of the data
register. When the data-word has been read from the data register,
DOUT/RDY goes high. The user can read this register additional
times, if required. However, the user must ensure that the data
register is not being accessed at the completion of the next conversion; otherwise the new conversion word will be lost.
When several channels are enabled, the ADC automatically
sequences through the enabled channels, performing one
conversion on each channel. When all channels have been
converted, the sequence starts again with the first channel. The
channels are converted in order from lowest enabled channel to
highest enabled channel. The data register is updated as soon as
each conversion is available. The DOUT/RDY pin pulses low
each time a conversion is available. The user can then read the
conversion while the ADC converts the next enabled channel.
If the DATA_STAT bit in the interface mode register is set to 1,
the contents of the status register, along with the conversion data,
are output each time the data register is read. The status register
indicates the channel to which the conversion corresponds.

CONTINUOUS READ MODE
To enable continuous read mode, set the CONTREAD bit in the
interface mode register. When this bit is set, the only serial interface
operations possible are reads from the data register. To exit continuous read mode, issue a dummy read of the ADC data register
command (0x44) while RDY is low. Alternatively, apply a software
reset, that is, 64 SCLKs with CS = 0 and DIN = 1. This resets the
ADC and all register contents. These are the only commands
that the interface recognizes after it is placed in continuous read
mode. DIN should be held low in continuous read mode until
an instruction is to be written to the device.
In continuous read mode, it is not required to write to the
communications register before reading ADC data; just apply
the required number of SCLKs after DOUT/RDYgoes low to
indicate the end of a conversion. When the conversion is read,
DOUT/RDY returns high until the next conversion is available.
In this mode, the data can be read only once. The user must also
ensure that the data-word is read before the next conversion is
complete. If the user has not read the conversion before the
completion of the next conversion or if insufficient serial clocks
are applied to the AD7176-2 to read the word, the serial output
register is reset when the next conversion is complete, and the
new conversion is placed in the output serial register. The ADC
must be configured for continuous conversion mode to use
continuous read mode.
If multiple ADC channels are enabled, each channel is output
in turn, with the status bits being appended to the data if
DATA_STAT is set in the interface mode register. The status
register indicates the channel to which the conversion corresponds.

SINGLE CONVERSION MODE
In single conversion mode, the AD7176-2 performs a single
conversion and is placed in standby mode after the conversion
is complete. DOUT/RDY goes low to indicate the completion of a
conversion. When the data-word has been read from the data
register, DOUT/RDY goes high. The data register can be read
several times, if required, even when DOUT/RDY has gone high.
If several channels are enabled, the ADC automatically
sequences through the enabled channels and performs a
conversion on each channel. When a conversion is started,
DOUT/RDY goes high and remains high until a valid conversion
is available and CS is low. As soon as the conversion is available,
DOUT/RDY goes low. The ADC then selects the next channel and
begins a conversion. The user can read the present conversion
while the next conversion is being performed. As soon as the next
conversion is complete, the data register is updated; therefore,
the user has a limited period in which to read the conversion.
When the ADC has performed a single conversion on each of
the selected channels, it returns to standby mode.
If the DATA_STAT bit in the interface mode register is set to 1,
the contents of the status register, along with the conversion, are
output each time the data register is read. The two LSBs of the
status register indicate the channel to which the conversion
corresponds.

STANDBY AND POWER-DOWN MODES
In standby mode, most blocks are powered down. The LDOs
remain active so that registers maintain their contents. The
internal reference remains active if enabled, and the crystal
oscillator remains active if selected. To power down the
reference in standby mode, set the REF_EN bit in the ADC
mode regsiter to 0. To power down the clock in standby mode,
set the CLOCKSEL bits in the ADC mode register to 00
(internal oscillator).
In power-down mode, all blocks are powered down, including
the LDOs. All registers lose their contents, and the GPIO outputs
are placed in tristate. To prevent accidental entry to power-down
mode, the ADC must first be placed into standby mode. Exiting
power-down mode requires 64 SCLKs with CS = 0 and DIN = 1,
that is, a serial interface reset. A delay of 500 µs is recommended
before issuing a subsequent serial interface command to allow
the LDO to power up.
CALIBRATION MODES
The AD7176-2 provides three calibration modes that can be
used to eliminate the offset and gain errors on a per setup basis:
•
•
•
Internal zero-scale calibration mode
System zero-scale calibration mode
System full-scale calibration mode
Only one channel can be active during calibration. After each
conversion, the ADC conversion result is scaled using the ADC
calibration registers before being written to the data register.
The default value of the offset register is 0x800000, and the
nominal value of the gain register is 0x555555. The calibration
range of the ADC gain is from 0.4 × VREF to 1.05 × VREF. The
following equations show the calculations that are used. In
unipolar mode, the ideal relationship—that is, not taking into
account the ADC gain error and offset error—is as follows:
 0.75 × VIN

Gain
Data = 
× 2 23 − (Offset − 0x800000) ×
×2
 VREF
 0x400000
In bipolar mode, the ideal relationship—that is, not taking into
account the ADC gain error and offset error—is as follows:
 0.75 × VIN

Gain
Data = 
× 223 − (Offset − 0x800000) ×
+ 0x800000
 VREF
 0x400000
To start a calibration, write the relevant value to the MODE bits
in the ADC mode register. The DOUT/RDY pin and the RDY bit
in the status register go high when the calibration initiates. When
the calibration is complete, the contents of the corresponding
offset or gain register are updated, the RDY bit in the status
register is reset, the DOUT/RDY pin returns low (if CS is low),
and the AD7176-2 reverts to standby mode.
During an internal offset calibration, the selected positive
analog input pin is disconnected, and both modulator inputs
are connected internally to the selected negative analog input
pin. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that the voltage on
the selected negative analog input pin does not exceed the
allowed limits and is free from excessive noise and interference.
System calibrations, however, expect the system zero-scale
(offset) and system full-scale (gain) voltages to be applied to the
ADC pins before initiating the calibration modes. As a result,
errors external to the ADC are removed.
From an operational point of view, treat a calibration like
another ADC conversion. An offset calibration, if required,
must always be performed before a full-scale calibration. Set the
system software to monitor the RDY bit in the status register or
the DOUT/RDY pin to determine the end of a calibration via a
polling sequence or an interrupt-driven routine. All calibrations
require a time equal to the settling time of the selected filter and
output data rate to be completed.
An internal offset calibration, system zero-scale calibration, and
system full-scale calibration can be performed at any output data
rate. Using lower output data rates results in better calibration
accuracy and is accurate for all output data rates. A new calibration
is required for a given channel if the reference source for that
channel is changed.
The offset error is typically ±40 µV and an offset calibration
reduces the offset error to the order of the noise. The gain error
is factory calibrated at ambient temperature. Following this
calibration, the gain error is typically ±0.001%.
The AD7176-2 provides the user with access to the on-chip
calibration registers, allowing the microprocessor to read the
calibration coefficients of the device and to write its own
calibration coefficients. A read or write of the offset and gain
registers can be performed at any time except during an internal
or self-calibration.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
Figure 2 and Figure 3 show timing diagrams for interfacing to
the AD7176-2 using CS to decode the part. Figure 2 shows the
timing for a read operation from the AD7176-2, and Figure 3
shows the timing for a write operation to the AD7176-2. It is
possible to read from the data register several times even though
the DOUT/RDY line returns high after the first read operation.
However, care must be taken to ensure that the read operations are
completed before the next output update occurs. In continuous
read mode, the data register can be read only once.
The serial interface can operate in 3-wire mode by tying CS low.
In this case, the SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/RDY lines are used to
communicate with the AD7176-2. The end of the conversion
can also be monitored using the RDY bit in the status register.
The serial interface can be reset by writing 64 SCLKs with CS =
0 and DIN = 1. A reset returns the interface to the state in which it
expects a write to the communications register. This operation
resets the contents of all registers to their power-on values.
Following a reset, allow a period of 500 µs before addressing the
serial interface.
CHECKSUM PROTECTION
The AD7176-2 has a checksum mode, which can be used to
improve interface robustness. Using the checksum ensures that
only valid data is written to a register and allows data read from
a register to be validated. If an error occurs during a register
write, the CRC_ERROR bit is set in the status register. However,
to ensure that the register write was successful, the register
should be read back and checksum verified.
x8 + x2 + x + 1
During read operations, the user can select between this
polynomial and a similar XOR function. The XOR function
requires less time to process on the host microcontroller than
the polynomial-based checksum. The CRC_EN bits in the
interface mode register enable and disable the checksum and
allow the user to select between the polynomial check and the
simple XOR check.
The checksum is appended to the end of each read and write
transaction. The checksum calculation for the write transaction
is calculated using the 8-bit command word and the 8- to 24-bit
data. For a read transaction, the checksum is calculated using
the command word and the 8- to 32-bit data output. Figure 50
and Figure 51 show SPI write and read transactions, respectively.

The DOUT/RDY pin also functions as a data-ready signal, with
the line going low if CS is low when a new data-word is available
in the data register. The pin is reset high when a read operation
from the data register is complete. The DOUT/RDY pin also
goes high before updating the data register to indicate when not
to read from the device to ensure that a data read is not attempted
while the register is being updated. CS is used to select a device.
It can be used to decode the AD7176-2 in systems where several
components are connected to the serial bus.
For CRC checksum calculations during a write operation, the
following polynomial is always used:

The programmable functions of the AD7176-2 are via the SPI
serial interface. The serial interface of the AD7176-2 consists of
four signals: CS, DIN, SCLK, and DOUT/RDY. The DIN line is
used to transfer data into the on-chip registers, and DOUT/RDY is
used to access data from the on-chip registers. SCLK is the serial
clock input for the device, and all data transfers (either on DIN or
on DOUT/RDY) occur with respect to the SCLK signal.
Figure 51. SPI Read Transaction with CRC
If checksum protection is enabled when continuous read mode
is active, there is an implied read data command of 0x44 before
every data transmission that needs to be accounted for when
calculating the checksum value. This ensures a nonzero checksum
value even if the ADC data equals 0x000000.

CRC CALCULATION
Polynomial
The checksum, which is 8-bits wide, is generated using the polynomial
x8 + x2 + x + 1
To generate the checksum, the data is left shifted by eight bits to create a number ending in eight Logic 0s. The polynomial is aligned so that
its MSB is adjacent to the leftmost Logic 1 of the data. An XOR (exclusive OR) function is applied to the data to produce a new, shorter
number. The polynomial is again aligned so that its MSB is adjacent to the leftmost Logic 1 of the new result, and the procedure is repeated. This
process is repeated until the original data is reduced to a value less than the polynomial. This is the 8-bit checksum.

AD7176-2
GENERAL-PURPOSE I/O
The AD7176-2 has two general-purpose digital input/output pins:
GPIO0 and GPIO1. These are enabled using the IP_EN0/IP_EN1
or OP_EN0/OP_EN1 bits in the GPIOCON register. When the
GPIO0 or GPIO1 pin is enabled as an input, the logic level at
the pin is contained in the DATA0 or DATA1 bit, respectively.
When the GPIO0 or GPIO1 pin is enabled as an output, the
GP_DATA0 or GP_DATA1 bits, respectively, determine the
logic level output at the pin. The logic levels for these pins are
referenced to AVDD1 and AVSS; therefore, outputs have an
amplitude of 5 V.
If an external multiplexer is used to increase the channel count,
the multiplexer logic pins can be controlled via the AD7176-2
GPIO pins. With the MUX_IO bit, the GPIOs timing is controlled
by the ADC; therefore, the channel change is synchronized with
the ADC, eliminating any need for external synchronization.
The SYNC/ERROR pin can also be used as a general-purpose
output. When ERR_EN bits in the GPIOCON register are set to
11, the SYNC/ERROR pin operates as a general-purpose output.
In this configuration, the ERR_DAT bit in the GPIOCON register
determines the logic level output at the pin. The logic level for the
pin is referenced to IOVDD and DGND, and the SYNC/ERROR
pin has an active pull-up.
16-BIT/24-BIT CONVERSIONS
By default, the AD7176-2 generates 24-bit conversions. However,
the width of the conversions can be reduced to 16 bits. Setting
Bit WL16 in the interface mode register to 1 rounds all data
conversions to 16 bits. Clearing this bit sets the width of the
data conversions to 24 bits.
SERIAL INTERFACE RESET (DOUT_RESET)
The serial interface is reset when each read operation is
complete. The instant at which the serial interface is reset is
programmable. By default, the serial interface is reset after a
period of time following the last SCLK rising edge, the SCLK
edge on which the LSB is read by the processor. By setting Bit
DOUT_RESET in the interface mode register to 1, the instant at
which the interface is reset is controlled by the CS rising edge.
In this case, the DOUT/RDY pin continues to output the LSB of
the register being read until CS is taken high. Only on the CS
rising edge is the interface reset. This configuration is useful if
the CS signal is used to frame all read operations. If CS is not
used to frame all read operations, DOUT_RESET should be set
to 0 so that the interface is reset following the last SCLK edge in
the read operation.
SYNCHRONIZATION (SYNC/ERROR)
Normal Synchronization
When the SYNC_EN bit in the GPIOCON register is set to 0,
the SYNC/ERROR pin functions as a synchronization pin. The
SYNC input allows the user to reset the modulator and the
digital filter without affecting any of the setup conditions on
the part. This allows the user to start gathering samples of the
analog input from a known point in time, that is, the rising
edge of SYNC. This pin must be low for at least one master
clock cycle to ensure that synchronization occurs.
If multiple AD7176-2 devices are operated from a common
master clock, they can be synchronized so that their data registers
are updated simultaneously. This is normally done after each
AD7176-2 has performed its own calibration or has calibration
coefficients loaded into its calibration registers. A falling edge
on the SYNC pin resets the digital filter and the analog modulator
and places the AD7176-2 into a consistent known state. While
the SYNC pin is low, the AD7176-2 is maintained in this state.
On the SYNC rising edge, the modulator and filter are taken
out of this reset state, and on the next master clock edge, the
part starts to gather input samples again.
The part is taken out of reset on the master clock falling edge
following the SYNC low-to-high transition. Therefore, when
multiple devices are being synchronized, the SYNC pin should
be taken high on the master clock rising edge to ensure that all
devices begin sampling on the master clock falling edge. If the
SYNC pin is not taken high in sufficient time, it is possible to
have a difference of one master clock cycle between the devices;
that is, the instant at which conversions are available differs
from part to part by a maximum of one master clock cycle.
The SYNC pin can also be used as a start conversion command.
In this mode, the rising edge of SYNC starts a conversion, and
the falling edge of RDY indicates when the conversion is complete.
The settling time of the filter has to be allowed for each data
register update.
Alternate Synchronization
Setting Bit ALT_SYNC in the interface mode register to 1 enables
an alternate synchronization scheme. The SYNC_EN bit in the
GPIOCON register must be set to 1 to enable this alternate scheme.
In this mode, the SYNC pin operates as a start conversion command when several channels of the AD7176-2 are enabled. When
SYNC is taken low, the ADC completes the conversion on the
current channel, selects the next channel in the sequence, and
then waits until SYNC is taken high to commence the conversion.
The RDY pin goes low when the conversion is complete on
the current channel, and the data register is updated with the
corresponding conversion. Therefore, the SYNC command
does not interfere with the sampling on the currently selected
channel but allows the user to control the instant at which the
conversion begins on the next channel in the sequence.
The mode can be used only when several channels are enabled.
It is not recommended to use this mode when a single channel
is enabled.

Data Sheet
ERROR FLAGS
The status register contains three error bits—ADC_ERROR,
CRC_ERROR, and REG_ERROR—that flag errors with the
ADC conversion, errors with the CRC check, and errors due to
changes in the registers, respectively. In addition, the ERROR
pin can indicate that an error has occurred.
ADC_ERROR
The ADC_ERROR bit in the status register flags any errors that
occur during the conversion process. The flag is set when an overvoltage or undervoltage occurs on the analog inputs. The ADC
also outputs all 0s or all 1s when an undervoltage or overvoltage
occurs. This flag is reset only when the overvoltage/undervoltage is
removed. It is not reset by a read of the data register.
CRC_ERROR
If the CRC value that accompanies a write operation does not
correspond with the information sent, the CRC_ERROR flag is
set. The flag is reset as soon as the status register is explicitly read.
REG_ERROR
This flag is used in conjunction with the REG_CHECK bit in
the interface mode register. When the REG_CHECK bit is set,
the AD7176-2 monitors the values in the on-chip registers. If a
bit changes, the REG_ERROR bit is set. Therefore, for writes to
the on-chip registers, REG_CHECK should be set to 0. When
the registers have been updated, the REF_CHK bit can be set to 1.
The AD7176-2 calculates a checksum of the on-chip registers. If
one of the register values has changed, the REG_ERROR bit is
set. If an error is flagged, the REG_CHECK bit must be set to 0
to clear the REG_ERROR bit in the status register. The register
check function does not monitor the data register, status
register, or interface mode register.
ERROR Pin
When the SYNC_EN bit in the GPIOCON register is set to 1
and Bit ALT_SYNC in the interface mode register is set to 0, the
SYNC/ERROR pin functions as an error input/output pin or a
general-purpose output pin. The ERR_EN bits in the GPIOCON
register determine the function of the pin.
With ERR_EN bits are set to 10, the pin functions as an opendrain error output pin. The three error bits in the status register
(ADC_ERROR, CRC_ERROR, and REG_ERROR) are OR’ed,
inverted, and mapped to the ERROR pin. Therefore, the
ERROR pin indicates that an error has occurred. The status
register must be read to identify the error source.
When ERR_EN bits are set to 01, the ERROR pin functions as
an error input pin. The error pin of another component can be
connected to the AD7176-2 ERROR pin so that the AD7176-2
indicates when an error occurs on either itself or the external
component. The value on the ERROR pin is inverted and OR’ed
with the errors from the ADC conversion, and the result is
indicated via the ADC_ERROR bit in the status register. The value
of the ERROR pin is reflected in the ERR_DAT bit in the status
register.
The ERROR pin is disabled when the ERR_EN bits are set to 00.
When the ERR_EN1 bits are set to 11, the ERROR pin operates
as a general-purpose output.
DATA_STAT
The contents of the status register can be appended to each conversion on the AD7176-2. This is a useful function if several
channels are enabled. Each time a conversion is output, the
contents of the status register are appended. The two LSBs of
the status register indicate to which channel the conversion
corresponds. In addition, the user can determine if any errors
are being flagged by the error bits.
IOSTRENGTH
The serial interface can operate with a power supply as low as
2 V. However, at this low voltage, the DOUT/RDY pin may not
have sufficient drive strength if there is moderate parasitic
capacitance on the board or the SCLK frequency is high. The
IOSTRENGTH bit in the interface mode register increases the
drive strength of the DOUT/RDY pin.

AD7176-2
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
The analog inputs and reference inputs are differential and,
therefore, most of the voltages in the analog modulator are
common-mode voltages. The high common-mode rejection of
the part removes common-mode noise on these inputs. The
analog and digital supplies to the AD7176-2 are independent
and separately pinned out to minimize coupling between the
analog and digital sections of the device. The digital filter
provides rejection of broadband noise on the power supplies,
except at integer multiples of the master clock frequency.
The digital filter also removes noise from the analog and
reference inputs, provided that these noise sources do not
saturate the analog modulator. As a result, the AD7176-2 is
more immune to noise interference than a conventional high
resolution converter. However, because the resolution of the
AD7176-2 is high and the noise levels from the converter are so
low, care must be taken with regard to grounding and layout.
The printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the ADC must be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. A minimum etch
technique is generally best for ground planes because it results
in the best shielding.
In any layout, the user must keep in mind the flow of currents
in the system, ensuring that the paths for all return currents are as
close as possible to the paths the currents took to reach their
destinations.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because this
couples noise onto the die and allows the analog ground plane
to run under the AD7176-2 to prevent noise coupling. The
power supply lines to the AD7176-2 must use as wide a trace as
possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce glitches on
the power supply line. Shield fast switching signals like clocks
with digital ground to prevent radiating noise to other sections
of the board and never run clock signals near the analog inputs.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Run traces on
opposite sides of the board at right angles to each other. This
reduces the effects of feedthrough on 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, whereas signals are
placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution ADCs.
The AD7176-2 has three power supply pins—AVDD1, AVDD2,
and IOVDD. The AVDD1 and AVDD2 pins are referenced to
AVSS, and the IOVDD pin is referenced to DGND. AVDD1 and
AVDD2 should be decoupled with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor
in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to AVSS on each pin. The
0.1 µF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the
device on each supply, ideally right up against the device.
IOVDD should be decoupled with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor
in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor to DGND. All analog inputs
should be decoupled to AVSS. If an external reference is used,
the REF+ and REF− pins should be decoupled to AVSS.
The AD7176-2 also has two on-board LDO regulators—one that
regulates the AVDD2 supply and one that regulates the IOVDD
supply. For the REGCAPA pin, it is recommended that 1 µF and
0.1 µF capacitors to AVSS be used. Similarly, for the REGCAPD
pin, it is recommended that 1 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors to
DGND be used.
If using the AD7176-2 for split supply operation, a separate
plane must be used for AVSS.

Description
The status of RDY is output to the DOUT/RDYpin whenever CS is low and a
register is not being read. This bit goes low when the ADC has written a
new result to the Data Register. In ADC calibration modes, this bit goes
low when the ADC has written the calibration result. RDY is brought high
automatically by a read of the Data Register.
New data result available
Awaiting new data result
This bit by default indicates if an ADC overrange or underrange has
occurred. The ADC result will be clamped to ±full scale if this happens.
This bit is updated when the ADC result is written and is cleared by
removing the overrange or underrange condition on the analog inputs.
No Error
Error
This bit indicates if a CRC error has taken place during a register write. For
register reads, the host microcontroller determines if a CRC error has
occurred. This bit is cleared by a read of this register.
No Error
CRC Error
This bit indicates if the content of one of the internal registers has
changed from the value calculated when the register integrity check was
activated. The check is activated by setting the REG_CHECK bit in the
Interface Mode Register. This bit is cleared by clearing the REG_CHECK bit.
No Error

These bits are reserved.
These bits indicate which channel was active for the ADC conversion
whose result is currently in the Data Register. This may be different from
the channel currently being converted. The mapping is a direct map from
the Channel Map Register; therefore, Channel 0 results in 0x0 and Channel
3 results in 0x3.

Description
These bits are reserved and should be set to 0.
This bit enables a different behavior of the ERROR\SYNC pin to allow the
use of ERROR\SYNC as a control for conversions when cycling channels
(see the description of the SYNC_EN bit in the GPIO Configuration Register
for details).
Disabled
Enabled
This bit controls the drive strength of the DOUT pin. This bit should be set
when reading from the serial interface at high speed with low IOVDD
supply and moderate capacitance.
Disabled (default)
Enabled
These bits are reserved and should be set to 0.
This bit prevents the DOUT/RDY pin from switching from outputting
DOUT to outputting RDY soon after the last rising edge of SCLK during a
read operation. Instead, the DOUT/RDY pin will continue to output the
LSB of the data until CS goes high. This allows for longer hold times for the
SPI master to sample the LSB of the data. When this bit is set, CS must not
be tied low.
Disabled
Enabled
This enables continuous read of the ADC data register. The ADC should be
configured in continuous conversion mode to use continuous read. For
more details, see the Operating Modes section.
Disabled
Enabled
This enables the Status Register to be appended to the Data Register
when read so that channel and status information are transmitted with
the data. This is the only way to be sure that the channel bits read from
the Status Register correspond to the data in the Data Register.
Disabled
Enabled
This bit enables a register integrity checker, which can be used to monitor
any change in the value of the user registers. To use this feature, all other
registers should be configured as desired, with this bit cleared. Then write
to this register to set the REG_CHECK bit to 1. If the contents of any of the
registers change, the REG_ERROR bit is set in the Status Register. To clear
the error, the REG_CHECK bit should be set to 0. Neither the Interface
Mode Register nor the ADC Data or Status Register is included in the
registers that are checked. If a register needs to have a new value written,
this bit should first be cleared; otherwise, an error will be flagged falsely
when the new register contents are written.
Disabled
Enabled
This bit is reserved and should be set to 0.

The Data Register contains the ADC conversion result. The encoding is offset binary, or it can be changed to unipolar by the
BI_UNIPOLAR bit in the Setup Configuration Register. Reading the Data Register brings the RDY bit and pin high if they had been low.
The ADC result can be read multiple times; however, because RDY has been brought high, it is not possible to know if another ADC
result is imminent. The ADC will not write a new result into the data register if the register is currently being read.

Description
These bits are reserved and should be set to 0.
This bit allows the ADC to control an external multiplexer, using GPIO0/GPIO1
in sync with the internal channel sequencing. The analog input pins used
for a channel can still be selected on a per channel basis. Therefore, it is
possible to have a 4-channel multiplexer in front of AIN0/AIN1 and another
in front of AIN2/AIN3, giving a total of eight differential channels with the
AD7175-2. However, only four channels at a time can be automatically
sequenced. A delay can be inserted after switching an external multiplexer
(see the DELAY bits in the ADC Mode Register).
This bit enables the SYNC/ERROR pin as a sync input. When set low, the
SYNC/ERROR pin holds the ADC and filter in reset until SYNC/ERROR goes
high. An alternative operation of the SYNC/ERROR pin is available when
the ALT_SYNC bit in the Interface Mode Register is set. This mode only
works when multiple channels are enabled. In this case, a low on the SYNC
/ERROR pin does not immediately reset the filter/modulator. Instead, if the
SYNC/ERROR pin is low when the channel is due to be switched, the
modulator and filter are prevented from starting a new conversion.
Bringing SYNC/ERROR high begins the next conversion. This alternative
sync mode allows SYNC/ERROR to be used while cycling through channels.
Disabled
Enabled
These bits enable the SYNC/ERROR pin as an error input/output.
Disabled
SYNC/ERROR is an error input. The (inverted) readback state is OR'ed with
other error sources and is available in the ADC_ERROR bit in the Status
Register. The SYNC/ERROR pin state can also be read from the ERR_DAT bit
in this register.
SYNC/ERROR is an open-drain error output. The Status Register error bits
are OR'ed, inverted, and mapped to the SYNC/ERROR pin. SYNC/ERROR
pins of multiple devices can be wired together to a common pull-up
resistor so that an error on any device can be observed.
SYNC/ERROR is a general-purpose output. The status of the pin is
controlled by the ERR_DAT bit in this register. This is referenced between
IOVDD and DGND, as opposed to the AVDD1 and AVSS levels used by the
general-purpose I/O pins. It has an active pull-up in this case.
This bit determines the logic level at the ERROR pin if the pin is enabled as
a general-purpose output. It reflects the readback status of the pin if the
pin is enabled as an input.
These bits are reserved and should be set to 0.
This bit turns GPIO1 into an input. Input should equal AVDD5 or AVSS.

Description
If this bit is set, the mapping of the Filter Register changes to directly
program the decimation rate of the Sinc3 filter for Setup 1. All other
options are eliminated. This allows for fine tuning of the output data rate
and filter notch for rejection of specific frequencies. The data rate when on
a single channel equals FMOD/(32 × FILTCON1[14:0]).
These bits are reserved and should be set to 0.
This bit enables various post filters for enhanced 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection for
Setup 1. The ORDER bits must be set to 00 to select the Sinc5 + Sinc1 filter
for this to work.
Disabled
Enabled
These bits select between various post filters for enhanced 50 Hz/60 Hz
rejection for Setup 1.
27 SPS, 47 dB rejection, 36.7 ms settling
25 SPS, 62 dB rejection, 40 ms settling
20 SPS, 86 dB rejection, 50 ms settling
16.67 SPS, 92 dB rejection, 60 ms settling
This bit is reserved and should be set to 0.
These bits control the order of the digital filter that processes the
modulator data for Setup 1.
Sinc5 + Sinc1 (default)
Sinc3
These bits control the output data rate of the ADC and, therefore, the
settling time and noise for Setup 1.
