Dump Mode
When the DUMP bit in the mode register is set to 1, the
channel status register will be read immediately by a read of the
channel data register, regardless of whether the status or the
data register has been addressed through the communications
register. The DIN pin should not be high while reading 24-bit
data in dump mode; otherwise, the AD7732 will be reset.
Figure 18 shows the digital interface signals executing a single
conversion on Channel 0, waiting for the
RDY
pin to go low,
and reading the Channel 0 status register and data register in
the dump mode.
Continuous Conversion Mode
When the mode register is being written, the ADC status byte is
cleared and the
RDY
pin goes high, regardless of its previous
state. When the continuous conversion command is written to
the mode register, the ADC starts conversion on the channel
selected by the address of the mode register.
After the conversion is complete, the relevant channel data
register and channel status register are updated, the relevant
RDY bit in the ADC status register is set, and the AD7732
continues converting on the next enabled channel. The part will
cycle through all enabled channels until put into another mode
or reset. The cycle period will be the sum of all enabled
channels’ conversion times, set by the corresponding channel
conversion time registers.
The RDY bit is reset when the relevant channel data register is
being read. The behavior of the
RDY
pin depends on the
RDYFN bit in the I/O port register. When the RDYFN bit is 0,
the
RDY
pin goes low when any channel has unread data. When
the RDYFN bit is set to 1, the
RDY
pin will only go low if all
enabled channels have unread data.
If an ADC conversion result has not been read before a new
ADC conversion is completed, the new result will overwrite the
previous one. The relevant RDY bit goes low and the
RDY
pin
goes high for at least 163 MCLK cycles (~26.5 μs), indicating
when the data register is updated and the previous conversion
data is lost.
If the data register is being read as an ADC conversion
completes, the data register will not be updated with the new
result (to avoid data corruption) and the new conversion
data is lost.
Figure 19 shows the digital interface signal’s sequence for the
continuous conversion mode with Channels 0 and 1 enabled
and the RDYFN bit set to 0. The
RDY
pin goes low and the data
register is read after each conversion. shows a similar
sequence but with the RDYFN bit set to 1. The
Figure 20
RDY
pin goes
low and all data registers are read after all conversions are
completed. shows the Figure 21

pin when no data are read

Continuous Read (Continuous Conversion) Mode
When the Cont RD bit in the mode register is set, the first write
of 48h to the communications register starts the continuous
read mode. As shown in Figure 22, subsequent accesses to the
part sequentially read the channel status and data registers of
the last completed conversion without any further configuration
of the communications register being required.
Note that the continuous conversion bit in the mode register
should be set when entering the continuous read mode.
Note that the continuous read mode is a dump mode reading of
the channel status and data registers regardless of the dump bit
value. Use the channel bits in the channel status register to
check/recognize that channel data is actually being shifted out.
Note that the last completed conversion result is being read.
Therefore the RDYFN bit in the I/O port register should be 0
and reading the result should always start before the next
conversion is completed.
The AD7732 will stay in continuous read mode as long as the
DIN pin is low while the
CS
pin is low; therefore, write 0 to the
AD7732 while reading in continuous read mode. To exit
continuous read mode, take the DIN pin high for at least 100 ns
after a read is complete. (Write 80h to the AD7732 to exit
continuous reading.)
Taking the DIN pin high does not change the Cont RD bit in
the mode register. Therefore, the next write of 48h starts the
continuous read mode again. To completely stop the continuous
read mode, write to the mode register to clear the Cont RD bit.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7732 is a sigma-delta ADC that is intended for the
measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals in
industrial process control, instrumentation, and PLC systems.
It contains thin film resistor dividers, a multiplexer, an input
buffer, a sigma-delta (or charge balancing) ADC, a digital filter,
a clock oscillator, a digital I/O port, and a serial
communications interface.
Analog Front End
The AD7732 features two fully differential analog inputs. The
on-chip thin film resistor dividers allow ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to +10
V, and 0 V to +5 V input signals to be connected directly to the
analog input pins.
The resistor divider input stage is followed by the multiplexer
and then by a wide bandwidth, fast settling time differential
input buffer capable of driving the dynamic load of a high speed
sigma-delta modulator.
In normal circuit configuration, the BIAS pins are connected to
the 2.5 V (reference) voltage source. This ensures that the
differential signal seen by the internal input buffer is within its
absolute/common-mode range of AGND + 200 mV to
AV
DD
– 300 mV.
The AD7732 AIN differential voltage should be within the
specified nominal (up to ±10 V) input range, otherwise the
performance on channel might degrade (see the Analog Inputs
Extended Voltage Range
section).
The AD7732 INL performance varies with the AIN common-
mode voltage (Figure 9). The differential analog input voltage of
±10 V with a common-mode voltage of 0 V means that the AIN
differential voltage is centered around AGND and both AIN(+)
and AIN(–) change within ±5 V respect to AGND. The AD7732
INL also varies with the MCLK frequency (Figure 7).
If the BIAS pins are in normal configuration, the AIN pin
absolute voltage up to ±16.5 V does not degrade the adjacent
channel’s performance. An AIN absolute voltage over ±16.5 V
results in current flowing through the internal protection
diodes located behind the thin film resistors; the adjacent
channel can be affected. By configuring the BIAS and RA to RD
pins differently, the part will work with higher AIN absolute
voltages as long as the internal voltage seen by the multiplexer
and input buffer is within 200 mV to AV
DD
– 300 mV. Absolute
voltage for the AIN, BIAS, and RA to RD pins must never
exceed the values specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Note that the OVR bit in the channel status register is generated
digitally from the conversion result and indicates the sigma-
delta modulator (nominal) overrange. The OVR bit DOES NOT
indicate exceeding the AIN pin absolute/common-mode
voltage limits.
