AD7675
–12–
During the acquisition phase for ac signals, the AD7675 behaves
like a one-pole RC filter consisting of the equivalent resistance
R+, R–, and C
S
. The resistors R+ and R– are typically 684
and are lumped components made up of some serial resistors
and the on resistance of the switches. The capacitor C
S
is typically
60 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor. This one pole
filter with a typical –3 dB cutoff frequency of 3.9 MHz reduces
undesirable aliasing effect and limits the noise coming from
the inputs.
Because the input impedance of the AD7675 is very high, the
AD7675 can be driven directly by a low impedance source
without gain error. That allows users to put, as shown in
Figure 5, an external one-pole RC filter between the output
of the amplifier output and the ADC analog inputs to even
further improve the noise filtering done by the AD7675 analog
input circuit. However, the source impedance has to be kept
low because it affects the ac performances, especially the total
harmonic distortion. The maximum source impedance depends
on the amount of total harmonic distortion (THD) that can be
tolerated. The THD degrades proportionally to the source
impedance.
Single to Differential Driver
For applications using unipolar analog signals, a single-ended to
differential driver will allow for a differential input into the part.
The schematic is shown in Figure 8.

If the application can tolerate more noise, the AD8138 can be used.
Driver Amplifier Choice
Although the AD7675 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs
to meet at least the following requirements:
The driver amplifier and the AD7675 analog input circuit
have to be able to settle for a full-scale step of the capaci-
tor array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%). In the amplifier’s data
sheet, the settling at 0.1% or 0.01% is more commonly speci-
fied. It could significantly differ from the settling time at
16-bit level and, therefore, it should be verified prior to the
driver selection. The tiny op amp AD8021, which combines
ultra low noise and a high gain bandwidth, meets this settling
time requirement even when used with a high gain up to 13.
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept
as low as possible in order to preserve the SNR and transi-
tion noise performance of the AD7675. The noise coming
from the driver is filtered by the AD7675 analog input circuit
one-pole, low-pass filter made by R+, R–, and C
S
. The SNR
degradation due to the amplifier is:

N is the noise factor of the amplifier (1 if in buffer con-
figuration)
e
N
is the equivalent input noise voltage of the op amp in

.
For instance, in the case of a driver with an equivalent input
noise of 2 nV/Hz like the AD8021 and configured as a buffer,
thus with a noise gain of +1, the SNR degrades by only 0.04 dB
with the filter in Figure 5, and 0.07 dB without.
The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to
that of the AD7675.
The AD8021 meets these requirements and is usually appropri-
ate for almost all applications. The AD8021 needs an external
compensation capacitor of 10 pF. This capacitor should have
good linearity as an NPO ceramic or mica type.
The AD8022 could also be used where dual version is needed
and gain of 1 is used.
The AD8132 or the AD8138 could also be used to generate a differ-
ential signal from a single-ended signal. When using the AD8138
with the filter in Figure 5, the SNR degrades by only 0.9 dB.
The AD829 is another alternative where high frequency (above
100 kHz) performances are not required. In gain of 1, it requires
an 82 pF compensation capacitor.
The AD8610 is also another option where low bias current is
needed in low frequency applications.
The AD8519, OP162, or the OP184 could also be used.
Voltage Reference Input
The AD7675 uses an external 2.5 V voltage reference.
The voltage reference input REF of the AD7675 has a dynamic
input impedance. Therefore, it should be driven by a low
impedance source with an efficient decoupling between REF
and REFGND inputs. This decoupling depends on the choice
of the voltage reference but usually consists of a 1 µF
ceramic
capacitor and a low ESR tantalum capacitor connected to the
REF and REFGND inputs with minimum parasitic induc-
tance. 47 µF is an appropriate value for the tantalum capacitor
when used with one of the recommended reference voltages:
The low noise, low temperature drift ADR421 and AD780
voltage references
The low power ADR291 voltage reference
The low cost AD1582 voltage reference
For applications using multiple AD7675s, it is more effective to
buffer the reference voltage with a low noise, very stable op amp
like the AD8031.

Care should also be taken with the reference temperature coeffi-
cient of the voltage reference which directly affects the full-scale
accuracy if this parameter matters. For instance, a ±15 ppm/°C
tempco of the reference changes the full scale by ±1 LSB/°C.
V
REF
, as mentioned in the specification table, could be increased
to AVDD – 1.85 V. The benefit here is the increased SNR
obtained as a result of this increase. Since the input range is
defined in terms of V
REF
, this would essentially increase the
range to make it a ±3 V input range with an AVDD above
4.85 V. The theoretical improvement as a result of this increase
in reference is 1.58 dB (20 log [3/2.5]). Due to the theoretical
quantization noise, however, the observed improvement is
approximately 1 dB. The AD780 can be selected with a 3 V
reference voltage.
Power Supply
The AD7675 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog
5V supply AVDD, a digital 5 V core supply DVDD, and a
digital input/output interface supply OVDD. The OVDD
supply allows direct interface with any logic working between
2.7 V and DVDD + 0.3 V. To reduce the number of supplies
needed, the digital core (DVDD) can be supplied through a
simple RC filter from the analog supply as shown in
Figure 5. The AD7675 is independent of power supply
sequencing once OVDD does not exceed DVDD by more than
0.3 V, and thus free from supply voltage induced latchup.
Additionally, it is very insensitive to power supply variations
over a wide frequency range as shown in Figure 9.

POWER DISSIPATION
The AD7675 automatically reduces its power consumption at
the end of each conversion phase. During the acquisition phase,
the operating currents are very low, which allows a significant
power saving when the conversion rate is reduced as shown in
Figure 10. This feature makes the AD7675 ideal for very low
power battery applications.
It should be noted that the digital interface remains active even
during the acquisition phase. To reduce the operating digital
supply currents even further, the digital inputs need to be driven
close to the power rails (i.e., DVDD and DGND) and OVDD
should not exceed DVDD by more than 0.3 V.

CONVERSION CONTROL
Figure 11 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion
process. The AD7675 is controlled by the signal CNVST, which
initiates conversion. Once initiated, it cannot be restarted or
aborted, even by the power-down input PD, until the conver-
sion is complete. The CNVST signal operates independently of
CS and RD signals.

Figure 11. Basic Conversion Timing
For true sampling applications, the recommended operation of
the CNVST signal is as follows:
CNVST must be held high from the previous falling edge of
BUSY, and during a minimum delay corresponding to the
acquisition time t
8
; then, when CNVST is brought low, a
conversion is initiated and BUSY signal goes high until the
completion of the conversion. Although CNVST is a digital
signal, it should be designed with this special care with fast,
clean edges and levels, with minimum overshoot and under-
shoot or ringing.
For applications where the SNR is critical, the CNVST signal should
have a very low jitter. Some solutions to achieve that are to use a
dedicated oscillator for CNVST generation or, at least, to clock
it with a high frequency low jitter clock, as shown in Figure 5.

For other applications, conversions can be automatically initi-
ated. If CNVST is held low when BUSY is low, the AD7675
controls the acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a
new conversion. By keeping CNVST low, the AD7675 keeps
the conversion process running by itself. It should be noted that
the analog input has to be settled when BUSY goes low. Also, at
power-up, CNVST should be brought low once to initiate the
conversion process. In this mode, the AD7675 could sometimes
run slightly faster than the guaranteed limit of 100 kSPS.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7675 has a versatile digital interface; it can be interfaced
with the host system by using either a serial or parallel interface.
The serial interface is multiplexed on the parallel data bus. The
AD7675 digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V
logic by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the AD7675
to the host system interface digital supply. Finally, by using the
OB/2C input pin, either two’s complement or straight binary
coding can be used.
The two signals CS and RD control the interface. When at least
one of these signals is high, the interface outputs are in high
impedance. Usually, CS allows the selection of each AD7675 in
multicircuits applications and is held low in a single AD7675
design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion result on
the data bus.

PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7675 is configured to use the parallel interface (Figure 13)
when the SER/PAR is held low. The data can be read either
after each conversion, which is during the next acquisition
phase, or during the following conversion as shown, respectively,
in Figure 14 and Figure 15. When the data is read during the
conversion, however, it is recommended that it be read-only
during the first half of the conversion phase. That avoids any
potential feedthrough between voltage transients on the digital
interface and the most critical analog conversion circuitry.

The BYTESWAP pin allows a glueless interface to an 8-bit bus.
As shown in Figure 16, the LSB byte is output on D[7:0] and
the MSB is output on D[15:8] when BYTESWAP is low. When
BYTESWAP is high, the LSB and MSB bytes are swapped and
the LSB is output on D[15:8] and the MSB is output on D[7:0].
By connecting BYTESWAP to an address line, the 16-bit data
