AD7650
–12–
The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be kept
as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise
performance of the AD7650. The noise coming from the
driver is filtered by the AD7650 analog input circuit one-pole
low-pass filter made by R1 and C2 or the external filter if any
are used.
The driver needs to have a THD performance suitable to that
of the AD7650.
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 AD829 is another alternative where high-frequency (above
100 kHz) performance is not required. In gain of 1, it requires
an 82 pF compensation capacitor.
The AD8610 is another option where low bias current is needed
in low-frequency applications.
Voltage Reference Input
The AD7650 uses an external 2.5 V voltage reference. The volt-
age reference input REF of the AD7650 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 low ESR tantalum capacitor
connected to the REF and REFGND inputs with minimum para-
sitic inductance. 47 µF is an appropriate value for 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 AD7650s, it is more effective to
buffer the reference voltage with a low-noise, very stable op amp
such as 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.
Note that V
REF
, as mentioned in the specification table, could
be increased to AVDD –1.85 V. Since the input range is defined
in terms of V
REF
, this would essentially increase the range to
make it a 0 V to 3 V input range with a reference voltage of 3 V.
The AD780 can be selected with a 3 V reference voltage.
Power Supply
The AD7650 uses three sets of power supply pins: an analog 5 V
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 5.25 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 AD7650 is independent of
power supply sequencing and thus free from supply voltage
induced latchup.

Figure 6. Equivalent Analog Input Circuit
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs IN+ and IN–. Care must be taken to ensure that the
analog input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than
0.3 V. This will cause these diodes to become forward-biased and
start conducting current. These diodes can handle a forward-
biased current of 100 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions
could eventually occur when the input buffer’s (U1) supplies are
different from AVDD. In such case, an input buffer with a short
circuit current limitation can be used to protect the part.
This analog input structure allows the sampling of the differential
signal between IN+ and IN–. Unlike other converters, the IN–
input is sampled at the same time as the IN+ input. By using
this differential input, small signals common to both inputs are
rejected. For instance, by using IN– to sense a remote signal
ground, difference of ground potentials between the sensor and
the local ADC ground are eliminated.
During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog input
IN+ can be modeled as a parallel combination of capacitor C1
and the network formed by the series connection of R1 and C2.
Capacitor C1 is primarily the pin capacitance. The resistor R1 is
typically 140 and is a lumped component made up of some
serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. The capacitor
C2 is typically 60 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
During the conversion phase, where the switches are opened,
the input impedance is limited to C1. The R1, C2 makes a one-
pole low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effect and
limits the noise.
When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7650 can be driven directly. Large source impedances will
significantly affect the ac performances, especially the total
harmonic distortion.
Driver Amplifier Choice
Although the AD7650 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier needs
to meet at least the following requirements:
The driver amplifier and the AD7650 analog input circuit
must be able together to settle for a full-scale step the capacitor
array at a 16-bit level (0.0015%). In the amplifier’s data sheet,
the settling at 0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. It
could significantly differ from the settling time at 16-bit level
and it should therefore be verified prior to the driver selection.
The tiny op amp AD8021, which combines ultralow noise and
a high-gain bandwidth, meets this settling time requirement
even when used with high gain up to 13.

POWER DISSIPATION VS. THROUGHPUT
Operating currents are very low during the acquisition phase,
which allows a significant power saving when the conversion
rate is reduced as shown in Figure 7. This power saving depends
on the mode used. In impulse mode, the AD7650 automatically
reduces its power consumption at the end of each conversion
phase. This feature makes the AD7650 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 supply rails (i.e., DVDD or
DGND for all inputs except EXT/INT, INVSYNC, INVSCLK,
RDC/SDIN, and OVDD or OGND for these last four inputs).

CONVERSION CONTROL
Figure 8 shows the detailed timing diagrams of the conversion
process. The AD7650 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 8. Basic Conversion Timing
In impulse mode, conversions can be automatically initiated.
If CNVST is held low when BUSY is low, the AD7650 controls
the acquisition phase and then automatically initiates a new
conversion. By keeping CNVST low, the AD7650 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 AD7650 could sometimes
run slightly faster then the guaranteed limits in the impulse mode
of 444 kSPS. This feature does not exist in warp or normal modes.

Figure 9. RESET Timing
Although CNVST is a digital signal, it should be designed with
special care with fast, clean edges, and levels with minimum
overshoot and undershoot or ringing.
It is a good thing to shield the CNVST trace with ground and
also to add a low value serial resistor (i.e., 50 V) termination
close to the output of the component that drives this line.
For applications where the SNR is critical, CNVST signal should
have a very low jitter. Some solutions to achieve that is 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.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7650 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
AD7650 digital interface also accommodates both 3 V or 5 V logic
by simply connecting the OVDD supply pin of the AD7650 to
the host system interface digital supply. Finally, by using the
OB/2C input pin, both 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 AD7650 in
multicircuits applications and is held low in a single AD7650
design. RD is generally used to enable the conversion result on
the data bus.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The AD7650 is configured to use the serial interface when the
SER/PAR is held high. The AD7650 outputs 16 bits of data,
MSB first, on the SDOUT pin. This data is synchronized with
the 16 clock pulses provided on SCLK pin. The output data is
valid on both the rising and falling edge of the data clock.
MASTER SERIAL INTERFACE
Internal Clock
The AD7650 is configured to generate and provide the serial data
clock SCLK when the EXT/
INT
pin is held low. The AD7650
also generates a SYNC signal to indicate to the host when the
serial data is valid. The serial clock SCLK and the SYNC signal
can be inverted if desired. Depending on RDC/SDIN input, the
data can be read after each conversion or during the following
conversion. Figure 13 and Figure 14 show the detailed timing
diagrams of these two modes.
PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7650 is configured to use the parallel interface when the
SER/PAR is held low. The data can be read either after each
conversion, which is during the next acquisition phase, or dur-
ing the following conversion as shown, respectively, in Figure 11
and Figure 12. When the data is read during the conversion,
however, it is recommended that it is read only during the first
half of the conversion phase. That avoids any potential feed-
through between voltage transients on the digital interface and
the most critical analog conversion circuitry.
