DGND Ground reference point for digital circuitry. DGND must be connected via its own short path to AGND (Pin 24).
DSUBST This is the substrate connection for digital circuits. It must be connected via its own short path to AGND
(Pin 24).
VIN1 Analog Input. In unipolar operation, the analog input range on VIN1 is VIN2 to (VIN2 + V
REFIN
); for bipolar
VIN2 operation, the analog input range on VIN1 is (VIN2 ± V
REFIN
/2). The absolute analog input range must lie
between 0 and AV
DD
. The analog input is continuously sampled and processed by the analog modulator.
REFIN Reference Input. The AD7721 operates with an external reference, of value 2.5 V nominal. A suitable refer-
ence for operation with the AD7721 is the AD780. A 100 nF decoupling capacitor is required between
REFIN and AGND.
CLK CMOS Logic Clock Input. The AD7721 operates with an external clock which is connected to the CLK pin.
The modulator samples the analog input on both phases of the clock, increasing the sampling rate to 20 MHz
(CLK = 10 MHz) or 30 MHz (CLK = 15 MHz).
Serial Mode Only
CS, RD, WR To select the serial interface mode of operation, the AD7721 must be powered up with CS, RD and WR all
tied to DGND. After two clock cycles, the AD7721 switches into serial mode. These pins must remain low
during serial operation.
DRDY In the serial interface mode, a rising edge on DRDY indicates that new data is available to be read from the
interface. During a synchronization or calibration cycle,
DRDY remains low until valid data is available.
SDATA/DB11 Serial Data Output. Output serial data becomes active after
RFS goes low. Sixteen bits of data are clocked
out starting with the MSB. Serial data is clocked out on the rising edge of SCLK and is valid on the subse-
quent falling edge of SCLK.
RFS/DB10 Receive Frame Synchronization. Active low logic input. This is a logic input with RFS provided by connect-
ing this input to
DRDY. When RFS is high, SDATA is high impedance.
DB9 This is a test mode pin. This pin must be tied to DGND.
DB8 This is a test mode pin. This pin must be tied to DGND.
SCLK/DB7 Serial Clock. Logic Output. The internal digital clock is provided as an output on this pin. Data is output
from the AD7721 on the rising edge of SCLK and is valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
DB6 This is a test mode pin. This pin must be tied to DGND.
SYNC/DB5 Synchronization Logic Input. A rising edge on SYNC starts the synchronization cycle. SYNC must be
pulsed low for at least one clock cycle to initiate a synchronization cycle.
DB4 This is a test mode pin. This pin must be tied to DGND.
DB3 This is a test mode pin. This pin must be tied to DGND.
UNI/DB2 Analog Input Range Select, Logic Input. A logic low on this input selects unipolar mode. A logic high selects
bipolar mode.
CAL/DB1 Calibration Mode Logic Input. CAL must go high for at least one clock cycle to initiate a calibration cycle.
STBY/DB0 Standby Mode Logic Input. A logic high on this pin selects standby mode.
DVAL/SYNC Data Valid Digital Output. In serial mode, this pin is a dedicated data valid pin.

Parallel Mode Only
Mnemonic Function
CS Chip Select Logic Input.
RD Read Logic Input. This digital input is used in conjunction with CS to read data from the device.
WR Write Logic Input. This digital input is used in conjunction with CS to write data to the control register.
DRDY In parallel interface mode, a falling edge on DRDY indicates that new data is available to be read from the
interface. During a synchronization or calibration cycle,
DRDY remains high until valid data is available.
DVAL/
SYNC The function of this pin is determined by the state of bit DB3 in the control register. Writing a logic zero to
bit DB3 will program this pin to be a DVAL output. Writing a logic one to bit DB3 will program this pin to
be a
SYNC input pin.
A rising edge on
SYNC starts the synchronization cycle. SYNC must be pulsed low for at least one clock
cycle.
When switching this pin from
SYNC mode to DVAL mode, it is important that there are no rising edges on
the pin which could cause resynchronization. For this purpose, an internal pull-up resistor has been included
on this pin. Thus, when the external driver driving this pin in
SYNC mode is switched off, the DVAL/SYNC
pin remains high.
SDATA/DB11– These pins are both data outputs and control register inputs. Output data is placed on these pins by taking
STBY/DB0
RD and CS low. Data on these pins is read into the control register by toggling WR low with CS low. With
RD high, these pins are high impedance.
Control functions such as CAL,
UNI and STBY, which are available as pins in serial mode, are available as bits in parallel mode.
Table I lists the contents of the control register onboard the AD7721. This register is written to in parallel mode using the
WR pin.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the transfer function. The end-
points of the transfer function are zero scale (not to be con-
fused with bipolar zero), a point 0.5 LSB below the first code
transition (100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01 in bipolar mode and
000 . . . 00 to 000 . . . 01 in unipolar mode) and full scale, a point
0.5 LSB above the last code transition (011 . . . 10 to 011 . . . 11 in
bipolar mode and 111 . . . 10 to 111 . . . 11 in unipolar mode). The
error is expressed in LSBs.
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Common Mode Rejection Ratio
The ability of a device to reject the effect of a voltage applied to
both input terminals simultaneously—often through variation of
a ground level—is specified as a common-mode rejection ratio.
CMRR is the ratio of gain for the differential signal to the gain
for the common-mode signal.
Unipolar Offset Error
Unipolar offset error is the deviation of the first code transition
from the ideal VIN1 voltage which is (VIN2 + 0.5 LSB) when
operating in the unipolar mode.
Bipolar Offset Error
This is the deviation of the midscale transition (111 . . . 11
to 000 . . . 00) from the ideal VIN1 voltage which is (VIN2 –
0.5 LSB) when operating in the bipolar mode.
Unipolar Full-Scale Error
Unipolar full-scale error is the deviation of the last code transition
(111 . . . 10 to 111 . . . 11) from the ideal VIN1 voltage which is
(VIN2 + V
REFIN
– 3/2 LSBs).
Bipolar Full-Scale Error
The bipolar full-scale error refers to the positive full-scale error and
the negative full-scale error. The positive full-scale error is the
deviation of the last code transition (011 . . . 10 to 011 . . . 11) from
the ideal VIN1 voltage which is (VIN2 + V
REFIN
/2 – 3/2 LSB).
The negative full-scale error is the deviation of the first code transi-
tion (100 . . . 00 to 100 . . . 01) from the ideal VIN1 voltage which
is (VIN2 – V
REFIN
/2 + 0.5 LSB).
Signal to (Noise + Distortion)
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) is measured signal to noise at the
output of the ADC. The signal is the rms magnitude of the funda-
mental. Noise is the rms sum of all the nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (f
CLK
/2) but excluding the dc com-
ponent. Signal to (Noise + Distortion) is dependent on the num-
ber of quantization levels used in the digitization process; the more
levels, the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical Signal to
(Noise + Distortion) ratio for a sine wave input is given by
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
where N is the number of bits. Thus, for an ideal 12-bit converter,
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = 74 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum
of harmonics to the rms value of the fundamental. For the
AD7721, THD is defined as
THD = 20 log

USING THE AD7721
ADC Differential Inputs
The AD7721 uses differential inputs to provide common-mode
noise rejection. In the bipolar mode configuration, the analog
input range is ±1.25 V. The designed code transitions occur
midway between successive integer LSB values. The output
code is 2s complement binary with 1 LSB = 0.61 mV in paral-
lel mode and 38 µV in serial mode. The ideal input/output
transfer function is illustrated in Figure 2.
In the unipolar mode, the analog input range is 0 V to 2.5 V.
Again, the designed code transitions occur midway between suc-
cessive integer LSB values. The output code is straight binary with
1 LSB = 0.61 mV in parallel mode and 38 µV in serial mode. The
ideal input/output transfer function is shown in Figure 3.
