The SPI-compatible serial interface also features the ability,
using the SDI input, to daisy chain several ADCs on a single
3-wire bus or provides an optional BUSY indicator. It is
compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic using the
separate supply VIO.
The AD7685 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP or a 10-lead LFCSP
with operation specified from −40°C to +85°C.

The AD7685 1 is a 16-bit, charge redistribution successive
approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single power supply, VDD, between 2.3 V to 5.5 V. It
contains a low power, high speed, 16-bit sampling ADC with no
missing codes, an internal conversion clock, and a versatile serial
interface port. The part also contains a low noise, wide bandwidth,
short aperture delay, track-and-hold circuit. On the CNV rising
edge, it samples an analog input IN+ between 0 V to REF with
respect to a ground sense IN−. The reference voltage, REF, is
applied externally and can be set up to the supply voltage.

Description
Reference Input Voltage. The REF range is from 0.5 V to VDD. It is referred to the GND pin. This pin should
be decoupled closely to the pin with a 10 µF capacitor.
Power Supply.
Analog Input. It is referred to IN−. The voltage range, that is, the difference between IN+ and IN−, is 0 V to VREF.
Analog Input Ground Sense. Connect to the analog ground plane or to a remote sense ground.
Power Supply Ground.
Convert Input. This input has multiple functions. On its leading edge, it initiates the conversions and
selects the interface mode of the part, chain, or CS mode. In CS mode, it enables the SDO pin when low.
In chain mode, the data should be read when CNV is high.
Serial Data Output. The conversion result is output on this pin. It is synchronized to SCK.
Serial Data Clock Input. When the part is selected, the conversion result is shifted out by this clock.
Serial Data Input. This input provides multiple features. It selects the interface mode of the ADC as follows:
Chain mode is selected if SDI is low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, SDI is used as a data input
to daisy chain the conversion results of two or more ADCs onto a single SDO line. The digital data level
on SDI is output on SDO with a delay of 16 SCK cycles.
CS mode is selected if SDI is high during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, either SDI or CNV can enable
the serial output signals when low, and if SDI or CNV is low when the conversion is complete, the BUSY
indicator feature is enabled.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the host interface (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V).
Exposed Pad. Exposed pad connected to GND. This connection is not required to meet the electrical
performances.
AI = analog input, DI = digital input, DO = digital output, and P = power.

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale. The
point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1½ LSB
beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured from
the middle of each code to the true straight line (see Figure 26).
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. DNL is the
maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is often specified in
terms of resolution for which no missing codes are guaranteed.
Offset Error
The first transition should occur at a level ½ LSB above analog
ground (38.1 µV for the 0 V to 5 V range). The offset error is
the deviation of the actual transition from that point.
Gain Error
The last transition (from 111 . . . 10 to 111 . . . 11) should
occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal full
scale (4.999886 V for the 0 V to 5 V range). The gain error is the
deviation of the actual level of the last transition from the ideal
level after the offset is adjusted out.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD by
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
and is expressed in bits.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in dB.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in dB.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion), SINAD
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in dB.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance and
is the time between the rising edge of the CNV input and when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
The time required for the ADC to accurately acquire its input
after a full-scale step function is applied.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7685 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise 16-bit
ADC using a successive approximation architecture.
The AD7685 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 25 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two
identical arrays of 16 binary weighted capacitors, which are
connected to the two comparator inputs.
The AD7685 is capable of converting 250,000 samples per
second (250 kSPS) and powers down between conversions.
When operating at 100 SPS, for example, it consumes typically
1.35 µW with a 2.5 V supply, ideal for battery-powered
applications.
The AD7685 provides the user with on-chip, track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multiple multiplexed channel applications.
The AD7685 is specified from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and can be
interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is housed in
a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead LFCSP that combines space
savings and allows flexible configurations.
It is pin-for-pin-compatible with the AD7686, AD7687, and
AD7688.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to GND via SW+ and SW−.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Therefore, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors
and acquire the analog signal on the IN+ and IN− inputs. When
the acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high,
a conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase
begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to
the GND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs IN+ and IN− captured at the end of the acquisition phase
is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to
become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor
array between GND and REF, the comparator input varies by
binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 . . . VREF/65536).
The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB,
to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After
the completion of this process, the part powers down and
returns to the acquisition phase, and the control logic generates
the ADC output code and a BUSY signal indicator.
Because the AD7685 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.

ANALOG INPUTS
Figure 28 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7685.
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 because this will cause these diodes to begin to
forward-bias and start conducting current. These diodes can
handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. For
instance, these conditions could eventually occur when the
input buffer’s (U1) supplies are different from VDD. In such a
case, an input buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can
be used to protect the part.

When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7685 can be driven directly. Large source impedances
significantly affect the ac performance, especially THD. The dc
performances are less sensitive to the input impedance. The
maximum source impedance depends on the amount of THD
that can be tolerated. The THD degrades as a function of the
source impedance and the maximum input frequency, as shown
in Figure 30.

This analog input structure allows the sampling of the
differential signal between IN+ and IN−. By using this
differential input, small signals common to both inputs are
rejected, as shown in Figure 29, which represents the typical
CMRR over frequency. For instance, by using IN− to sense a
remote signal ground, ground potential differences between
the sensor and the local ADC ground are eliminated.

OR IN–
During the acquisition phase, the impedance of the analog
inputs (IN+ or IN−) can be modeled as a parallel combination
of capacitor CPIN and the network formed by the series connection
of RIN and CIN. CPIN is primarily the pin capacitance. RIN is
typically 3 kΩ and is a lumped component made up of some
serial resistors and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is
typically 30 pF and is mainly the ADC sampling capacitor.
During the conversion phase, where the switches are opened,
the input impedance is limited to CPIN. RIN and CIN make a
1-pole, low-pass filter that reduces undesirable aliasing effects
and limits the noise.

AD7685
Data Sheet
DRIVER AMPLIFIER CHOICE
VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT
Although the AD7685 is easy to drive, the driver amplifier
needs to meet the following requirements:
The AD7685 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input
impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance
source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND
pins, as explained in the Layout section.
• 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 AD7685. Note that the AD7685 has a
noise much lower than most of the other 16-bit ADCs and,
therefore, can be driven by a noisier amplifier to meet a given
system noise specification. The noise coming from the
amplifier is filtered by the AD7685 analog input circuit lowpass filter made by RIN and CIN or by an external filter, if one
is used. Because the typical noise of the AD7685 is 35 µV rms,
the SNR degradation due to the amplifier is
If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values down
to 2.2 µF can be used with a minimal impact on performance,
especially DNL.
POWER SUPPLY
• For ac applications, the driver should have a THD
performance commensurate with the AD7685. Figure 17
shows the AD7685s THD vs. frequency.
• For multichannel, multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7685 analog input circuit must settle a
full-scale step onto the capacitor array at a 16-bit level
(0.0015%). In the amplifier’s data sheet, settling at 0.1% to
0.01% is more commonly specified. This could differ
significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level and
should be verified prior to driver selection.
Table 9. Recommended Driver Amplifiers
The AD7685 is specified over a wide operating range from 2.3 V
to 5.5 V. It has, unlike other low voltage converters, a noise low
enough to design a 16-bit resolution system with low supply
and respectable performance. It uses two power supply pins: a
core supply VDD and a digital input/output interface supply
VIO. VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V
and VDD. To reduce the number of supplies needed, the VIO
and VDD can be tied together. The AD7685 is independent of
power supply sequencing between VIO and VDD. Additionally,
it is very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide
frequency range, as shown in Figure 31, which represents PSRR
over frequency.

If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value
depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 µF (X5R,

The AD7685 powers down automatically at the end of each
conversion phase and, therefore, the power scales linearly with
the sampling rate, as shown in Figure 32. This makes the part
ideal for low sampling rate (even a few Hz) and low batterypowered applications.

SUPPLYING THE ADC FROM THE REFERENCE
For simplified applications, the AD7685, with its low operating
current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit, as
shown in Figure 33. The reference line can be driven by either:
• The system power supply directly.
• A reference voltage with enough current output capability,
such as the ADR43x.
• A reference buffer, such as the AD8031, that can also filter
the system power supply, as shown in Figure 33.

The AD7685, when in CS mode, is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
digital hosts, and DSPs, for example, Blackfin® ADSP-BF53x or
ADSP-219x. This interface can use either 3-wire or 4-wire. A
3-wire interface using the CNV, SCK, and SDO signals minimizes
wiring connections, useful, for instance, in isolated applications.
A 4-wire interface using the SDI, CNV, SCK, and SDO signals
allows CNV, which initiates the conversions, to be independent
of the readback timing (SDI). This is useful in low jitter
sampling or simultaneous sampling applications.
The mode in which the part operates depends on the SDI level
when the CNV rising edge occurs. The CS mode is selected if
SDI is high and the chain mode is selected if SDI is low. The
SDI hold time is such that when SDI and CNV are connected
together, the chain mode is always selected.
In either the CS mode or the chain mode, the AD7685 offers the
flexibility to optionally force a start bit in front of the data bits.
This start bit can be used as a BUSY signal indicator to
interrupt the digital host and trigger the data reading.
Otherwise, without a BUSY indicator, the user must time out
the maximum conversion time prior to readback.
The BUSY indicator feature is enabled as follows:
• In the CS mode, if CNV or SDI is low when the ADC
conversion ends (see Figure 37 and Figure 41).
• In the chain mode, if SCK is high during the CNV rising edge
(see Figure 45).

Though the AD7685 has a reduced number of pins, it offers
substantial flexibility in its serial interface modes.
The AD7685, when in chain mode, provides a daisy-chain

single data line similar to a shift register.

valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge can be used
to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK falling edge will
allow a faster reading rate provided it has an acceptable hold
time. After the 16th SCK falling edge or when CNV goes high,
whichever is earlier, SDO returns to high impedance.
This mode is usually used when a single AD7685 is connected
to an SPI-compatible digital host.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 34, and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 35.
With SDI tied to VIO, a rising edge on CNV initiates a
conversion, selects the CS mode, and forces SDO to high
impedance. Once a conversion is initiated, it will continue to
completion irrespective of the state of CNV. For instance, it
could be useful to bring CNV low to select other SPI devices,
such as analog multiplexers, but CNV must be returned high
before the minimum conversion time and held high until the
maximum conversion time to avoid the generation of the BUSY
signal indicator. When conversion is completed, the AD7685
enters the acquisition phase and powers down. When CNV
goes low, the MSB is output onto SDO. The remaining data bits
are then clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. The data is

CHAIN MODE, NO BUSY INDICATOR
AD7685 enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The
remaining data bits stored in the internal shift register are then
clocked by subsequent SCK falling edges. For each ADC, SDI
feeds the input of the internal shift register and is clocked by the
SCK falling edge. Each ADC in the chain outputs its data MSB
first, and 16 × N clocks are required to readback the N ADCs.
The data is valid on both SCK edges. Although the rising edge
can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCK
falling edge will allow a faster reading rate and, consequently,
more AD7685s in the chain, provided the digital host has an
acceptable hold time. The maximum conversion rate may be
reduced due to the total readback time. For instance, with a 5 ns
digital host setup time and 3 V interface, up to eight AD7685s
running at a conversion rate of 220 kSPS can be daisy-chained
on a 3-wire port.
This mode can be used to daisy-chain multiple AD7685s on a
3-wire serial interface. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections, for example, in
isolated multiconverter applications or for systems with a
limited interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to
clocking a shift register.
A connection diagram example using two AD7685s is shown in
Figure 42, and the corresponding timing is given in Figure 43.

used as a BUSY indicator to trigger the data readback controlled
by the digital host. The AD7685 then enters the acquisition
phase and powers down. The data bits stored in the internal
shift register are then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent
SCK falling edges. For each ADC, SDI feeds the input of the
internal shift register and is clocked by the SCK falling edge.
Each ADC in the chain outputs its data MSB first, and 16 × N + 1

using the SCK falling edge allows a faster reading rate and,

running at a conversion rate of 220 kSPS can be daisy-chained
to a single 3-wire port.
This mode can also be used to daisy chain multiple AD7685s on

APPLICATION HINTS
LAYOUT
The printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the AD7685 should
be designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. The pinout of the
AD7685 with all its analog signals on the left side and all its
digital signals on the right side eases this task.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these
couple noise onto the die, unless a ground plane under the
AD7685 is used as a shield. Fast switching signals, such as CNV
or clocks, should never run near analog signal paths. Crossover
of digital and analog signals should be avoided.
The AD7685 voltage reference input REF has a dynamic input
impedance and should be decoupled with minimal parasitic
inductances. This is done by placing the reference decoupling
ceramic capacitor close to, and ideally right up against, the REF
and GND pins and connected with wide, low impedance traces.
02968-044
At least one ground plane should be used. It could be common
or split between the digital and analog section. In the latter case,
the planes should be joined underneath the AD7685.
Figure 46. Example of Layout of the AD7685 (Top Layer)
Finally, the power supplies VDD and VIO should be decoupled
with ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF, placed close to the
AD7685 and connected using short and wide traces to provide
low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches on the
power supply lines.
An example layout following these rules is shown in Figure 46
and Figure 47.
Other recommended layouts for the AD7685 are outlined in the
documentation of the EVAL-AD7685SDZ evaluation board.
The EVAL-AD7685SDZ evaluation board package includes a
fully assembled and tested evaluation board, documentation,
and software for controlling the board from a PC via the EVALSDP-CB1Z.

AD7685
TRUE 16-BIT ISOLATED APPLICATION EXAMPLE
In applications where high accuracy and isolation are required,
for example, power monitoring, motor control, and some
medical equipment, the circuit given in Figure 48, using the
AD7685 and the ADuM1402C digital isolator, provides a
compact and high performance solution.
Multiple AD7685s are daisy-chained to reduce the number of
signals to isolate. Note that the SCKOUT, which is a readback of
the AD7685s clock, has a very short skew with the DATA signal.
This skew is the channel-to-channel matching propagation
delay of the digital isolator (tPSKCD). This allows running the
serial interface at the maximum speed of the digital isolator
(45 Mbps for the ADuM1402C), which would have been
otherwise limited by the cascade of the propagation delays of
the digital isolator.
The complete analog chain runs on a 5 V single supply using
the ADR391 low dropout reference voltage and the rail-to-rail
CMOS AD8618 amplifier while offering true bipolar input range.
