Wide operating temperature range: −40°C to +125°C
The AD7902 is a dual 16-bit, successive approximation, analogto-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single power
supply, VDDx, per ADC. It contains two low power, high speed,
16-bit sampling ADCs and a versatile serial port interface (SPI).
On the CNVx rising edge, the AD7902 samples an analog input,
IN+, in the range of 0 V to VREF with respect to a ground sense,
IN−. The externally applied reference voltage of the REFx pins
(VREF) can be set independently from the supply voltage pins,
VDDx. The power of the device scales linearly with throughput.
Using the SDIx inputs, the SPI-compatible serial interface can
also daisy-chain multiple ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and provide
an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V,
or 5 V logic, using the separate VIOx supplies.
The AD7902 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package with
operation specified from −40°C to +125°C.

Description
Reference Input Voltage. The REFx range is 2.4 V to 5.1 V. These pins are referred to the GND pin, and
decouple each pin closely to the GND pin with a 10 µF capacitor.
Power Supplies.
Pseudo Differential Positive Analog Inputs.
Pseudo Differential Negative Analog Inputs.
Power Supply Ground.
Conversion Inputs. These inputs have multiple functions. On the leading edge, they initiate conversions
and select the interface mode of the device: chain mode or active low chip select mode (CS mode). In CS
mode, the SDOx pins are enabled when the CNVx pins are low. In chain mode, the data must be read when
the CNVx pins are high.
Serial Data Outputs. The conversion result is output on these pins. The conversion result is synchronized
to SCKx.
Serial Data Clock Inputs. When the device is selected, the conversion results are shifted out by these clocks.
Serial Data Inputs. These inputs provide multiple functions. They select the interface mode of the ADC, as
follows: CS mode is selected if the SDIx pins are high during the CNVx rising edge. In this mode, either SDIx
or CNVx can enable the serial output signals when low. If SDIx or CNVx 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 (2.5 V or 3 .3 V).
AI is analog input, DI is digital input, DO is digital output, and P is 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 32).
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.
Zero 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 zero error is the
deviation of the actual transition from that point.
Zero Error Match
It is the difference in offsets, expressed in millivolts between the
channels of a multichannel converter. It is computed with the
following equation:
Zero Matching = VZEROMAX − VZEROMIN
where:
VZEROMAX is the most positive zero error.
VZEROMIN is the most negative zero error.
Zero error matching is usually expressed in millivolts with the
full-scale input range stated in the product data sheet.
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.
Gain Error Match
It is the ratio of the maximum full scale to the minimum full
scale of a multichannel ADC. It is expressed as a percentage of
full scale using the following equation:
FSRMAX − FSRMIN
Gain Matching =
2N
× 100%
where:
FSRMAX is the most positive gain error of the ADC.
FSRMIN is the most negative gain error.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is 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 the following formula:
ENOB = (SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02
ENOB is expressed in bits.
Noise Free Code Resolution
Noise free code resolution is the number of bits beyond which it
is impossible to distinctly resolve individual codes. It is calculated
as follows:
Noise Free Code Resolution = log2(2N/Peak-to-Peak Noise)
Noise free code resolution is expressed in bits.
Effective Resolution
Effective resolution is calculated as follows:
Effective Resolution = log2(2N/RMS Input Noise)
Effective resolution 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 decibels (dB).
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the total rms noise measured with the inputs shorted together.
The value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels (dB). It is
measured with a signal at −60 dBFS to include all noise sources
and DNL artifacts.
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 decibels (dB).
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (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 decibels (dB).
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay is the measure of the acquisition performance. It
is the time between the rising edge of the CNVx input and
when the input signal is held for a conversion.
Transient Response
Transient response is the time required for the ADC to accurately
acquire its input after a full-scale step function is applied.

The AD7902 is a fast, low power, precise, dual 16-bit ADC
using a successive approximation architecture.
The AD7902 is capable of simultaneously converting 1,000,000
samples per second (1 MSPS) and powers down between conversions. When operating at 10 kSPS, for example, it typically
consumes 70 µW per ADC, making it ideal for battery-powered
applications.
The AD7902 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold
and does not exhibit any pipeline delay or latency, making it
ideal for multichannel multiplexed applications.
binary-weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 ... VREF/65,536).
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 device returns to the acquisition
phase, and the control logic generates the ADC output code and
a busy signal indicator.
Because the AD7902 has an on-board conversion clock, the
serial clock, SCKx, is not required for the conversion process.
Transfer Functions
The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7902 is shown in
Figure 32 and Table 7.
The AD7902 can be interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic
family. It is available in a 20-lead QSOP that allows for flexible
configurations. The device is pin-for-pin compatible with the
differential, 16-bit AD7903.
ADC CODE (STRAIGHT BINARY)
111 ... 111
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7902 is a dual successive approximation ADC based on
a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 31 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.
During the acquisition phase of each ADC, terminals of the array
tied to the input of the comparator are connected to GND via
the switches, SWx+ and SWx−. 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
INx+ and INx− inputs. When the acquisition phase is complete
and the CNVx input goes high, a conversion phase is initiated.
When the conversion phase begins, SWx+ and SWx− 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 INx+ and INx− inputs,
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 REFx, the comparator input varies by

CMRR (dB)
Figure 35 shows an example of the recommended connection
diagram for the AD7902 when multiple supplies are available.
Figure 33 shows an equivalent circuit of the input structure of
the AD7902.
The two diodes, D1 and D2, provide ESD protection for the
analog inputs, INx+ and INx−. The analog input signal must not
exceed the reference input voltage (VREF) by more than 0.3 V. If
the analog input signal exceeds this level, the diodes become
forward-biased and start conducting current. These diodes can
handle a forward-biased current of 130 mA maximum. However, if
the supplies of the input buffer (for example, the supplies of the
ADA4841-1 in Figure 35) are different from those of the VREF, the
analog input signal may eventually exceed the supply rails by more
than 0.3 V. In such a case (for example, an input buffer with a short
circuit), the current limitation can be used to protect the device.

The analog input structure allows for the sampling of the

When the source impedance of the driving circuit is low, the
AD7902 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.

400 Ω and is a lumped component composed of serial resistors
and the on resistance of the switches. CIN is typically 30 pF and

The noise generated by the driver amplifier must be kept
as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition noise
performance of the AD7902. The noise from the driver is
filtered by the one-pole, low-pass filter of the AD7902 analog
input circuit, made by RIN and CIN or by the external filter,
if one is used. Because the typical noise of the AD7902 is

The AD7902 voltage reference input, REF, has a dynamic input
impedance and must therefore be driven by a low impedance
source with efficient decoupling between the REFx and GND
pins, as explained in the Layout section.
where:
f−3dB is the input bandwidth, in megahertz, of the AD7902
(10 MHz) or the cutoff frequency of the input filter, if one
is used.
N is the noise gain of the amplifier (for example, gain = 1
in buffer configuration; see Figure 35).
eN is the equivalent input noise voltage of the op amp, in
nV/√Hz.
Typical Application
Very low noise, small, and low power
For ac applications, the driver must have a THD performance
that is commensurate with the AD7902.
For multichannel, multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7902 analog input circuit must settle
for a full-scale step onto the capacitor array at a 16-bit level
(0.0015%, 15 ppm). In the amplifier data sheet, settling at
0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This may differ
significantly from the settling time at a 16-bit level. Be sure
to verify the settling time prior to driver selection.
When REF is driven by a very low impedance source (for example,
a reference buffer using the AD8031 or the AD8605), a 10 μF
(X5R, 0805 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for
optimum performance.
If an unbuffered reference voltage is used, the decoupling value
depends on the reference used. For instance, a 22 μF (X5R,
1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate for optimum
performance using a low temperature drift ADR430, ADR431,
ADR433, ADR434, or ADR435 reference.
If desired, a reference decoupling capacitor with values as small
as 2.2 μF can be used with a minimal impact on performance,
especially DNL.
Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value ceramic
decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the REFx
and GND pins.

AD7902
POWER SUPPLY
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The AD7902 uses two power supply pins per ADC: a core supply
(VDDx) and a digital input/output interface supply (VIOx). VIOx
allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V and 5.5 V.
To reduce the number of supplies needed, VIOx and VDDx can
be tied together. The AD7902 is independent of power supply
sequencing between VIOx and VDDx. Additionally, it is very
insensitive to power supply variations over a wide frequency
range, as shown in Figure 36.
Although the AD7902 has a reduced number of pins, it offers
flexibility in its serial interface modes.

PSRR (dB)
85
When in CS mode, the AD7902 is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
digital hosts, and DSPs. In this mode, the AD7902 can use either
a 3-wire or 4-wire interface. A 3-wire interface using the CNVx,
SCKx, and SDOx signals minimizes wiring connections useful,
for instance, in isolated applications. A 4-wire interface using
the SDIx, CNVx, SCKx, and SDOx signals allows CNVx, which
initiates the conversions, to be independent of the readback
timing (SDIx). This is useful in low jitter sampling or
simultaneous sampling applications.
When in chain mode, the AD7902 provides a daisy-chain feature
using the SDIx input for cascading multiple ADCs on a single
data line similar to a shift register. With the AD7902 housing
two ADCs in one package, chain mode can be utilized to
acquire data from both ADCs while using only one set of 4-wire
user interface signals.
80
75
70
The mode in which the device operates depends on the SDIx
level when the CNVx rising edge occurs. CS mode is selected if
SDIx is high, and chain mode is selected if SDIx is low. The
SDIx hold time is such that when SDIx and CNVx are connected
together, chain mode is always selected.

The AD7902 powers down automatically at the end of each
conversion phase; therefore, the power scales linearly with the
sampling rate. This makes the device ideal for low sampling
rates (of even a few hertz) and low battery-powered applications.

In either mode, the AD7902 offers the option of forcing 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.

CS MODE
However, to avoid generation of the busy signal indicator, CNVx
must be returned high before the minimum conversion time
elapses and then held high for the maximum possible conversion
time. When the conversion is complete, the AD7902 enters the
acquisition phase and powers down. When CNVx goes low, the
MSB is automatically output onto SDOx. The remaining data bits
are clocked by subsequent SCKx falling edges. The data is valid on
both SCKx edges. Although the rising edge can be used to capture
the data, a digital host using the falling edge of SCKx allows a
faster reading rate, provided that it has an acceptable hold time.
After the 16th SCKx falling edge or when CNVx goes high
(whichever occurs first), SDOx returns to high impedance.
CS Mode, 3-Wire Interface Without Busy Indicator
CS mode, using a 3-wire interface without a busy indicator, is
usually used when a single AD7902 is connected to a SPIcompatible digital host.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 38, and the
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 39.
With SDIx tied to VIOx, a rising edge on CNVx initiates a
conversion, selects CS mode, and forces SDOx to high
impedance. When a conversion is initiated, it continues until
completion, regardless of the state of CNVx. This can be useful,
for instance, to bring CNVx low to select other SPI devices,
such as analog multiplexers.

AD7902
When the conversion is complete, SDOx goes from high
impedance to low impedance. With a pull-up on the SDOx line,
this transition can be used as an interrupt signal to initiate the
data reading controlled by the digital host. The AD7902 then
enters the acquisition phase and powers down. The data bits are
then clocked out, MSB first, by subsequent SCKx falling edges.
The data is valid on both SCKx edges. Although the rising edge
can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the SCKx
falling edge allows a faster reading rate, provided that it has an
acceptable hold time. After the optional 17th SCKx falling edge
or when CNVx goes high (whichever occurs first), SDOx
returns to high impedance.
CS Mode, 3-Wire Interface with Busy Indicator
CS mode, using a 3-wire interface with a busy indicator, is usually
used when a single AD7902 is connected to an SPI-compatible
digital host having an interrupt input.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 40, and the
corresponding timing is shown in Figure 41.
With SDIx tied to VIOx, a rising edge on CNVx initiates
a conversion, selects CS mode, and forces SDOx to high
impedance. SDOx is maintained in high impedance until the
completion of the conversion, regardless of the state of CNVx.
Prior to the minimum conversion time, CNVx can be used to
select other SPI devices, such as analog multiplexers, but CNVx
must be returned low before the minimum conversion time
elapses and then held low for the maximum possible conversion
time to guarantee the generation of the busy signal indicator.
If multiple ADCs are selected at the same time, the SDOx output
pin handles this contention without damage or induced latch-up.
Meanwhile, it is recommended that this contention be kept as
short as possible to limit extra power dissipation.

minimum conversion time elapses and then held high for the
maximum possible conversion time to avoid the generation of
the busy signal indicator. When the conversion is complete, the
AD7902 enters the acquisition phase and powers down. Each
ADC result can be read by bringing its respective SDIx input
low, which consequently outputs the MSB onto SDOx. The
remaining data bits are then clocked by subsequent SCKx falling
edges. The data is valid on both SCKx edges. Although the rising
edge can be used to capture the data, a digital host using the
SCKx falling edge allows a faster reading rate, provided it has an
acceptable hold time. After the 16th SCKx falling edge or when
SDIx goes high (whichever occurs first), SDOx returns to high
impedance, and another ADC result can be read.
CS Mode, 4-Wire Interface Without Busy Indicator
CS mode, using a 4-wire interface without a busy indicator, is
usually used when both ADCs within the AD7902 are
connected to a SPI-compatible digital host.
See Figure 42 for an AD7902 connection diagram example. The
corresponding timing diagram is shown in Figure 43.
With SDIx high, a rising edge on CNVx initiates a conversion,
selects CS mode, and forces SDOx to high impedance. In this
mode, CNVx must be held high during the conversion phase
and the subsequent data readback. (If SDIx and CNVx are low,
SDOx is driven low.) Prior to the minimum conversion time,
SDIx can be used to select other SPI devices, such as analog
multiplexers, but SDIx must be returned high before the

SDOx goes from high impedance to low impedance. With a

CS Mode, 4-Wire Interface with Busy Indicator
CS mode, 4-wire with busy indicator, is usually used when an
AD7902 is connected to a SPI-compatible digital host with an
interrupt input. This CS mode is also used when it is desirable
to keep CNVx, which is used to sample the analog input, independent of the signal that is used to select the data reading. This
independence is particularly important in applications where
low jitter on CNVx is desired.
The connection diagram is shown in Figure 44, and the
corresponding timing is given in Figure 45.
With SDIx high, a rising edge on CNVx initiates a conversion,
selects CS mode, and forces SDOx to high impedance. In this
mode, CNVx must be held high during the conversion phase
and the subsequent data readback. (If SDIx and CNVx are low,
SDOx is driven low.) Prior to the minimum conversion time,

held high during the conversion phase and the subsequent data
readback. When the conversion is complete, the MSB is output
onto SDOx and the AD7902 enters the acquisition phase and
powers down. The remaining data bits stored in the internal
shift register are clocked by subsequent SCKx falling edges. For
each ADC, SDIx feeds the input of the internal shift register and
is clocked by the SCKx falling edge. Each ADC in the chain
outputs its data MSB first, and 16 × N clocks are required to
read back the N ADCs. The data is valid on both SCKx edges.
Although the rising edge can be used to capture the data, a
digital host using the SCKx falling edge allows a faster reading
rate and, consequently, more AD7902 devices in the chain,
provided that the digital host has an acceptable hold time. The
maximum conversion rate may be reduced due to the total
readback time.
Chain Mode Without Busy Indicator
Chain mode without a busy indicator can be used to daisychain both ADCs within an AD7902 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.
See Figure 46 for a connection diagram example using both
ADCs in an AD7902. The corresponding timing is shown in
Figure 47.
When SDIx and CNVx are low, SDOx is driven low. With SCKx

(see the ADC labeled ADCx in the AD7902 B box in Figure 48)
is driven high. This transition on SDOx can be used as a busy
indicator to trigger the data readback controlled by the digital host.
The AD7902 then enters the acquisition phase and powers down.
The data bits stored in the internal shift register are clocked out,
MSB first, by subsequent SCKx falling edges. For each ADC,
SDIx feeds the input of the internal shift register and is clocked
by the SCKx falling edge. Each ADC in the chain outputs its
data MSB first, and 16 × N + 1 clocks are required to read back
the N ADCs. Although the rising edge can be used to capture the
data, a digital host using the SCKx falling edge allows a faster
reading rate and, consequently, more ADCs in the chain,
provided that the digital host has an acceptable hold time.
Chain mode with a busy indicator can also be used to daisychain both ADCs within an AD7902 on a 3-wire serial interface
while providing a busy indicator. This feature is useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections, for example, in isolated
multiconverter applications or for systems with limited interfacing
capacity. Data readback is analogous to clocking a shift register.
See Figure 48 for a connection diagram example using three

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SIMULTANEOUS SAMPLING
Alternatively, for applications where simultaneous sampling is
required but pins on the digital host are limited, the two user
interfaces on the AD7902 can be connected in one of the daisychain configurations shown in Figure 46 and Figure 48. This daisy
chaining allows the user to implement simultaneous sampling
functionality while requiring only one digital host input pin.
This scenario requires 31 or 32 SCKx falling edges (depending
on the status of the busy indicator) to acquire data from the ADC.
By having two unique user interfaces, the AD7902 provides
maximum flexibility with respect to how conversion results are
accessed from the device. The AD7902 provides an option for
the two user interfaces to share the convert start (CNVx) signal
from the digital host, creating a 2-channel, simultaneous sampling
device. In applications such as control applications, where latency
between the sampling instant and the availability of results in
the digital host is critical, it is recommended that the AD7902
be configured as shown in Figure 50. This configuration allows
simultaneous data read, in addition to simultaneous sampling.
However, this configuration also requires an additional data
input pin on the digital host. This scenario allows for the fastest
throughput because it requires only 15 or 16 SCKx falling edges
(depending on the status of the busy indicator) to acquire data
from the ADC.
Figure 50 shows an example of a simultaneous sampling system
using two data inputs for the digital host. The corresponding
timing diagram in Figure 51 shows a CS mode, 3-wire simultaneous sampling serial interface without busy indicator. However,
any of the 3-wire or 4-wire serial interface timing options can
be used.

FUNCTIONAL SAFTEY CONSIDERATIONS
The AD7902 contains two physically isolated ADCs, making it
ideally suited for functional safety applications. Because of this
isolation, each ADC features an independent user interface, an
independent reference input, an independent analog input, and
independent supplies. Physical isolation renders the device
suitable for taking verification/backup measurements while
separating the verification ADC from the system under control.
Although the Simultaneous Sampling section describes how to
operate the device in a simultaneous nature, the circuit is actually
composed of two individual signal chains. This separation makes
the AD7902 ideal for handling redundant measurement
applications. Implementing a signal chain with redundant ADC
measurement can contribute to a no single error system. Figure 52
shows a typical functional safety application circuit consisting of
a redundant measurement with the employment of monitoring the
inverted signal. The inversion is applied to detect common cause
failures where it is expected that the circuit output moves in the
same direction during a fault condition, instead of moving in the
opposite direction as expected.
In addition, the QSOP package that houses the device provides
access to the leads for inspection.

ceramic capacitor in close proximity to (ideally, right up
against) the REFx and GND pins and then connecting them
with wide, low impedance traces.
Design the printed circuit board (PCB) of the AD7902 such that
the analog and digital sections are separated and confined to
certain areas of the board. The pinout of the AD7902, with its
analog signals on the left side and its digital signals on the right
side, eases this task.
Finally, decouple the power supplies, VDDx and VIOx, with
ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF. Place them in close proximity
to the AD7902 and connect them using short, wide traces to
provide low impedance paths and to reduce the effect of glitches
on the power supply lines.
Avoid running digital lines under the device because these couple
noise onto the die unless a ground plane under the AD7902 is used
as a shield. Do not run fast switching signals, such as CNVx or
clocks, near analog signal paths. Avoid crossover of digital and
analog signals. To avoid signal fidelity issues, take care to ensure
monotonicity of digital edges in the PCB layout.
See Figure 53 for an example of layout following these rules.
EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF THE AD7902
Other recommended layouts for the AD7902 are outlined in the
EVAL-AD7902SDZ User Guide. The package for the evaluation
board (EVAL-AD7902SDZ) includes a fully assembled and
tested evaluation board, user guide, and software for controlling
the board from a PC via the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z.
Use at least one ground plane. It can be shared between or split
between the digital and analog sections. In the latter case, join
the planes underneath the AD7902.
The AD7902 voltage reference inputs, REF1 and REF2, have a
dynamic input impedance. Decouple these reference inputs with
minimal parasitic inductances by placing the reference decoupling
