AD7124-4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7124-4 is a low power, low noise, completely integrated
analog front end for high precision measurement applications.
The device contains a low noise, 24-bit Σ-Δ analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), and can be configured to have four differential
inputs or seven single-ended or pseudo differential inputs. The
on-chip low gain stage ensures that signals of small amplitude
can be interfaced directly to the ADC.
One of the major advantages of the AD7124-4 is that it gives the
user the flexibility to employ one of three integrated power
modes. The current consumption, range of output data rates,
and rms noise can be tailored with the power mode selected.
The device also offers a multitude of filter options, ensuring that
the user has the highest degree of flexibility.
The AD7124-4 can achieve simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz
rejection when operating at an output data rate of 25 SPS (single
cycle settling), with rejection in excess of 80 dB achieved at lower
output data rates.
The AD7124-4 establishes the highest degree of signal chain
integration. The device contains a precision, low noise, low
drift internal band gap reference, and also accepts an external
differential reference, which can be internally buffered. Other
key integrated features include programmable low drift excitation
current sources, burnout currents, and a bias voltage generator,
which sets the common-mode voltage of a channel to AVDD/2.
The low-side power switch enables the user to power down
bridge sensors between conversions, ensuring the absolute
minimal power consumption of the system. The device also
allows the user the option of operating with either an internal
clock or an external clock.
The integrated channel sequencer allows several channels to be
enabled simultaneously, and the AD7124-4 sequentially converts
on each enabled channel, simplifying communication with the
device. As many as 16 channels can be enabled at any time; a
channel being defined as an analog input or a diagnostic such as
a power supply check or a reference check. This unique feature
allows diagnostics to be interleaved with conversions. The
AD7124-4 also supports per channel configuration. The device
allows eight configurations or setups. Each configuration
consists of gain, filter type, output data rate, buffering, and
reference source. The user can assign any of these setups on a
channel by channel basis.
The AD7124-4 also has extensive diagnostic functionality
integrated as part of its comprehensive feature set. These
diagnostics include a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), signal
chain checks, and serial interface checks, which lead to a more
robust solution. These diagnostics reduce the need for external
components to implement diagnostics, resulting in reduced
board space needs, reduced design cycle times, and cost savings.
The failure modes effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) of a
typical application has shown a safe failure fraction (SFF) greater
than 90% according to IEC 61508.
The device operates with a single analog power supply from 2.7 V
to 3.6 V or a dual 1.8 V power supply. The digital supply has a
range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. It is specified for a temperature range
of −40°C to +125°C. The AD7124-4 is housed in a 32-lead
LFCSP package and a 24-lead TSSOP package.
Note that, throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such
as DOUT/RDY, are referred to either by the entire pin name or
by a single function of the pin, for example, RDY, when only
that function is relevant.
The AD7124-4 B grade has operational and performance
differences from the AD7124-4. Table 1 lists these differences.
Unless otherwise noted, all references to AD7124-4 refer to the
device and not to the B grade.

Temperature range = −40°C to +125°C.
These specifications are not production tested but are supported by characterization data at the initial product release.
FS is the decimal equivalent of the FS[10:0] bits in the filter registers.
4
The integral nonlinearity is production tested in full power mode only. For other power modes, the specification is supported by characterization data at the initial
product release.
5
Following a system or internal zero-scale calibration, the offset error is in the order of the noise for the programmed gain and output data rate selected. A system fullscale calibration reduces the gain error to the order of the noise for the programmed gain and output data rate.
6
Recalibration at any temperature removes these errors.
7
Gain error applies to both positive and negative full-scale. A factory calibration is performed at gain = 1, TA = 25°C.
8
When gain > 1, the common-mode voltage is between (AVSS + 0.1 + 0.5/gain) and (AVDD − 0.1 − 0.5/gain).
9
Specification is for a wider common-mode voltage between (AVSS − 0.05 + 0.5/gain) and (AVDD − 0.1 − 0.5/gain).
10
REJ60 is a bit in the filter registers. When the first notch of the sinc filter is at 50 Hz, a notch is placed at 60 Hz when REJ60 is set to 1. This gives simultaneous 50 Hz and
60 Hz rejection.
11
When the gain is greater than 1, the analog input buffers are enabled automatically. The buffers can only be disabled when the gain equals 1.
12
When VREF = (AVDD − AVSS), the typical differential input equals 0.92 × VREF/gain for the low and mid power modes and 0.86 × VREF/gain for full power mode when gain > 1.
13
The digital inputs are equal to IOVDD or DGND with excitation currents and bias voltage generator disabled.

These specifications were sample tested during the initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of IOVDD and
timed from a voltage level of IOVDD/2.

See Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6.
3
MCLK is the master clock frequency.
4
These specifications are measured with the load circuit shown in Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
5
The SCLK active edge is the falling edge of SCLK.
6
These specifications are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change by 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit shown in Figure 2. The measured
number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 25 pF capacitor. The times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus
relinquish times of the device and, therefore, are independent of external bus loading capacitances.
7 RDY
returns high after a read of the ADC. In single conversion mode and continuous conversion mode, the same data can be read again, if required, while RDY is high,
although subsequent reads must not occur close to the next output update. In continuous read mode, the digital word can be read only once.
8
When the CS_EN bit is cleared, the DOUT/RDY pin changes from its DOUT function to its RDY function, following the last inactive edge of the SCLK. When CS_EN is set,
the DOUT pin continues to output the LSB of the data until the CS inactive edge.

Description
Positive Reference Input. An external reference can be applied between REFIN1(+) and
REFIN1(−). REFIN1(+) can be anywhere between AVDD and AVSS + 0.5 V. The nominal
reference voltage (REFIN1(+) − REFIN1(−)) is 2.5 V, but the device functions with a
reference from 0.5 V to AVDD.
Negative Reference Input. This reference input can be anywhere between AVSS and
AVDD – 0.5 V.
Analog Input 4/Output of Internal Excitation Current Source/Bias Voltage. This input pin is
configured via the configuration registers to be the positive or negative terminal of a
differential or pseudo differential input. Alternatively, the internal programmable excitation
current source can be made available at this pin. Either IOUT0 or IOUT1 can be switched to
this output. A bias voltage midway between the analog power supply rails can be generated
at this pin.
Analog Input 5/Output of Internal Excitation Current Source/Bias Voltage. This input pin is
configured via the configuration registers to be the positive or negative terminal of a
differential or pseudo differential input. Alternatively, the internal programmable excitation
current source can be made available at this pin. Either IOUT0 or IOUT1 can be switched to
this output. A bias voltage midway between the analog power supply rails can be generated
at this pin.
Analog Input 6/Output of Internal Excitation Current Source/Bias Voltage/Positive
Reference Input. This input pin is configured via the configuration registers to be the
positive or negative terminal of a differential or pseudo differential input. Alternatively,
the internal programmable excitation current source can be made available at this pin.
Either IOUT0 or IOUT1 can be switched to this output. A bias voltage midway between the
analog power supply rails can be generated at this pin. This pin also functions as a positive
reference input for REFIN2(±). REFIN2(+) can be anywhere between AVDD and AVSS + 0.5 V.
The nominal reference voltage (REFIN2(+) to REFIN2(−)) is 2.5 V, but the device functions with
a reference from 0.5 V to AVDD.
Analog Input 7/Output of Internal Excitation Current Source/Bias Voltage/Negative
Reference Input. This input pin is configured via the configuration registers to be the
positive or negative terminal of a differential or pseudo differential input. Alternatively,
the internal programmable excitation current source can be made available at this pin.
Either IOUT0 or IOUT1 can be switched to this output. A bias voltage midway between the
analog power supply rails can be generated at this pin. This pin also functions as the
negative reference input for REFIN2(±). This reference input can be anywhere between AVSS
and AVDD – 0.5 V.
Internal Reference Output. The buffered output of the internal 2.5 V voltage reference is
available on this pin.
Analog Supply Voltage. The voltage on AVDD is referenced to AVSS. The differential
between AVDD and AVSS must be between 2.7 V and 3.6 V in mid or low power mode and
between 2.9 V and 3.6 V in full power mode. AVSS can be taken below 0 V to provide a dual
power supply to the AD7124-4. For example, AVSS can be tied to −1.8 V and AVDD can be
tied to +1.8 V, providing a ±1.8 V supply to the ADC.
Analog LDO Regulator Output. Decouple this pin to AVSS with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
Low-Side Power Switch to AVSS.
Analog Supply Voltage, Relative to AVSS.
Synchronization Input. This pin is a logic input that allows synchronization of the digital
filters and analog modulators when using a number of AD7124-4 devices. When SYNC is
low, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic, and the calibration control logic
are reset, and the analog modulator is held in a reset state. SYNC does not affect the digital
interface but does reset RDY to a high state if it is low.
Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDY functions as a serial data output pin to
access the output shift register of the ADC. The output shift register can contain data from
any of the on-chip data or control registers. In addition, DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready
pin, going low to indicate the completion of a conversion. If the data is not read after the
conversion, the pin goes high before the next update occurs. The DOUT/RDY falling edge
can also be used as an interrupt to a processor, indicating that valid data is available. With
an external serial clock, the data can be read using the DOUT/RDY pin. When CS is low,
the data/control word information is placed on the DOUT/RDY pin on the SCLK falling
edge and is valid on the SCLK rising edge.

Description
Serial Data Input to the Input Shift Register on the ADC. Data in the input shift register is
transferred to the control registers within the ADC, with the register selection bits of the
communications register identifying the appropriate register.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is for data transfers to and from the ADC. The SCLK pin
has a Schmitt-triggered input, making the interface suitable for opto-isolated applications. The
serial clock can be continuous with all data transmitted in a continuous train of pulses.
Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted to
or from the ADC in smaller batches of data.
Clock Input/Clock Output. The internal clock can be made available at this pin.
Alternatively, the internal clock can be disabled, and the ADC can be driven by an external
clock. This allows several ADCs to be driven from a common clock, allowing simultaneous
conversions to be performed.
Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic input that selects the ADC. Use CS to select the
ADC in systems with more than one device on the serial bus or as a frame synchronization
signal in communicating with the device. CS can be hardwired low if the serial peripheral
interface (SPI) diagnostics are unused, allowing the ADC to operate in 3-wire mode with
SCLK, DIN, and DOUT interfacing with the device.
Exposed Pad. Connect the exposed pad to AVSS.

TERMINOLOGY
Offset Error
Offset error is the deviation of the first code transition from the
ideal AINP voltage (AINM + 0.5 LSB) when operating in the
unipolar mode.
AINP
AINP refers to the positive analog input.
AINM
AINM refers to the negative analog input.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (not to be
confused with bipolar zero), a point 0.5 LSB below the first code
transition (000 … 000 to 000 … 001), and full scale, a point
0.5 LSB above the last code transition (111 … 110 to 111 …
111). The error is expressed in ppm of the full-scale range.
Gain Error
Gain error is the deviation of the last code transition (111 …
110 to 111 … 111) from the ideal AINP voltage (AINM +
VREF/gain − 3/2 LSBs). Gain error applies to both unipolar
and bipolar analog input ranges.
Gain error is a measure of the span error of the ADC. It
includes full-scale errors but not zero-scale errors. For unipolar
input ranges, it is defined as full-scale error minus unipolar
offset error; whereas for bipolar input ranges, it is defined as
full-scale error minus bipolar zero error.
In bipolar mode, offset error is the deviation of the midscale
transition (0111 … 111 to 1000 … 000) from the ideal AINP
voltage (AINM − 0.5 LSB).
Offset Calibration Range
In the system calibration modes, the AD7124-4 calibrates offset
with respect to the analog input. The offset calibration range
specification defines the range of voltages that the AD7124-4
can accept and still calibrate offset accurately.
Full-Scale Calibration Range
The full-scale calibration range is the range of voltages that the
AD7124-4 can accept in the system calibration mode and still
calibrate full scale correctly.
Input Span
In system calibration schemes, two voltages applied in sequence
to the AD7124-4 analog input define the analog input range.
The input span specification defines the minimum and
maximum input voltages from zero to full scale that the
AD7124-4 can accept and still calibrate gain accurately.

AD7124-4
Data Sheet
RMS NOISE AND RESOLUTION
in parentheses) is calculated based on peak-to-peak noise
(shown in parentheses). The peak-to-peak resolution represents
the resolution for which there is no code flicker.
Table 8 through Table 37 show the rms noise, peak-to-peak
noise, effective resolution, and noise-free (peak-to-peak)
resolution of the AD7124-4 for various output data rates, gain
settings, and filters. The numbers given are for the bipolar input
range with an external 2.5 V reference. These numbers are
typical and are generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V
when the ADC is continuously converting on a single channel.
It is important to note that the effective resolution is calculated
using the rms noise, whereas the peak-to-peak resolution (shown
Effective Resolution = Log2(Input Range/RMS Noise)
Peak-to-Peak Resolution = Log2(Input Range/Peak-to-Peak

OVERVIEW
The AD7124-4 is a low power ADC that incorporates a Σ-Δ
modulator, buffer, reference, gain stage, and on-chip digital
filtering, which is intended for the measurement of wide
dynamic ranges, low frequency signals (such as those in pressure
transducers), weigh scales, and temperature measurement
applications.
Power Modes
The AD7124-4 offers three power modes: high power mode,
mid power mode, and low power mode. This allows the user
total flexibility in terms of speed, rms noise, and current
consumption.
Analog Inputs
Reference buffers are also included on chip, which can be used
with the internal reference and externally applied references.
Programmable Gain Array (PGA)
The analog input signal can be amplified using the PGA. The
PGA allows gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.
Burnout Currents
Two burnout currents, which can be programmed to 500 nA,
2 µA, or 4 µA, are included on chip to detect the presence of the
external sensor.
Σ-Δ ADC and Filter
The AD7124-4 contains a fourth-order Σ-Δ modulator followed
by a digital filter. The device has the following filter options:
The device can have four differential or seven pseudo differential
analog inputs. The analog inputs can be buffered or unbuffered.
The AD7124-4 uses flexible multiplexing; thus, any analog
input pin can be selected as a positive input (AINP) and any
analog input pin can be selected as a negative input (AINM).

Multiplexer
Channel Sequencer
The on-chip multiplexer increases the channel count of the device.
Because the multiplexer is included on chip, any channel
changes are synchronized with the conversion process.
The AD7124-4 allows up to 16 configurations, or channels.
These channels can consist of analog inputs, reference inputs, or
power supplies such that diagnostic functions, such as power
supply monitoring, can be interleaved with conversions. The
sequencer automatically converts all enabled channels. When
each enabled channel is selected, the time required to generate
the conversion is equal to the settling time for the selected channel.
Reference
The device contains a 2.5 V reference, which has a drift of
10 ppm/°C maximum for the AD7124-4 B grade and for the
AD7124-4 in the TSSOP package and 15 ppm/°C maximum for
the AD7124-4 in the LFCSP package.

Per Channel Configuration
POWER SUPPLIES
The AD7124-4 allows up to eight different setups, each setup
consisting of a gain, output data rate, filter type, and a reference
source. Each channel is then linked to a setup.
Serial Interface
The AD7124-4 operates with an analog power supply voltage
from 2.7 V to 3.6 V in low or mid power mode and from 2.9 V
to 3.6 V in full power mode. The device accepts a digital power
supply from 1.65 V to 3.6 V.
The AD7124-4 has a 3-wire or 4-wire SPI. The on-chip registers
are accessed via the serial interface.
The device has two independent power supply pins: AVDD and
IOVDD.
Clock
•
The device has an internal 614.4 kHz clock. Use either this
clock or an external clock as the clock source for the device. The
internal clock can also be made available on a pin if a clock
source is required for external circuitry.
Temperature Sensor
•
AVDD is referred to AVSS. AVDD powers the internal analog
regulator that supplies the ADC.
IOVDD is referred to DGND. This supply sets the interface
logic levels on the SPI interface and powers an internal
regulator for operation of the digital processing.
Single Supply Operation (AVSS = DGND)
The AD7124-4 has two general-purpose digital outputs. These
can be used for driving external circuitry. For example, an
external multiplexer can be controlled by these outputs.
When the AD7124-4 is powered from a single supply that is
connected to AVDD, AVSS and DGND can be shorted together
on one single ground plane. With this setup, an external level
shifting circuit is required when using truly bipolar inputs to shift
the common-mode voltage. Recommended regulators include
the ADP162, which has a low quiescent current.
Calibration
Split Supply Operation (AVSS ≠ DGND)
Both internal calibration and system calibration are included on
chip; therefore, the user has the option of removing offset or
gain errors internal to the device only, or removing the offset or
gain errors of the complete end system.
The AD7124-4 can operate with AVSS set to a negative voltage,
allowing true bipolar inputs to be applied. This allows a truly
fully differential input signal centered around 0 V to be applied
to the AD7124-4 without the need for an external level shifting
circuit. For example, with a 3.6 V split supply, AVDD = +1.8 V
and AVSS = −1.8 V. In this use case, the AD7124-4-internally
level shifts the signals, allowing the digital output to function
between DGND (nominally 0 V) and IOVDD.
The on-chip temperature sensor monitors the die temperature.
Digital Outputs
Excitation Currents
The device contains two excitation currents which can be set
independently to 50 µA, 100 µA, 250 µA, 500 µA, 750 µA, or 1 mA.
Bias Voltage
A bias voltage generator is included on chip so that signals from
thermocouples can be biased suitably. The bias voltage is set to
AVDD/2 and can be made available on any input. It can supply
multiple channels.
Bridge Power Switch (PSW)
A low-side power switch allows the user to power down bridges
that are interfaced to the ADC.
Diagnostics
The AD7124-4 includes numerous diagnostics features such as
Reference detection
Overvoltage/undervoltage detection
CRC on SPI communications
CRC on the memory map
SPI read/write checks
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
The AD7124-4 has a 3-wire or 4-wire SPI interface that is
compatible with QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSPs. The interface
operates in SPI Mode 3 and can be operated with CS tied low. In
SPI Mode 3, SCLK idles high, the falling edge of SCLK is the
drive edge, and the rising edge of SCLK is the sample edge. This
means that data is clocked out on the falling/drive edge and data
is clocked in on the rising/sample edge.

When using a split supply for AVDD and AVSS, the absolute
maximum ratings must be considered (see the Absolute
Maximum Ratings section). Ensure that IOVDD is set below
3.6 V to stay within the absolute maximum ratings for the device.
These diagnostics allow a high level of fault coverage in an
application.

Accessing the ADC Register Map
The communications register controls access to the full register
map of the ADC. This register is an 8-bit, write only register.
On power-up or after a reset, the digital interface defaults to a
state where it expects a write to the communications register;
therefore, all communication begins by writing to the
communications register.

OR 24 BITS OF DATA

The data written to the communications register determines
which register is accessed and if the next operation is a read or
write. The register address bits (Bit 5 to Bit 0) determine the
specific register to which the read or write operation applies.

SCLK
Figure 67. Writing to a Register (8-Bit Command with Register Address

When the read or write operation to the selected register is
complete, the interface returns to its default state, where it
expects a write operation to the communications register.
In situations where interface synchronization is lost, a write
operation of at least 64 serial clock cycles with DIN high returns
the ADC to its default state by resetting the entire device, including
the register contents. Alternatively, if CS is used with the digital
interface, returning CS high resets the digital interface to its
default state and aborts any current operation.

correct communication with the device. The ID register is a read

CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
Channel Configuration
After power-on or reset, the AD7124-4 default configuration is
as follows:
The AD7124-4 has 16 independent analog input channels and
eight independent setups. The user can select any of the analog
input pairs on any channel, as well as any of the eight setups for
any channel, giving the user full flexibility in the channel configuration. This also allows per channel configuration when using all
differential inputs because each channel can have its own
dedicated setup.
•
•
•
Channel: Channel 0 is enabled, AIN0 is selected as the
positive input, and AIN1 is selected as the negative input.
Setup 0 is selected.
Setup: the input and reference buffers are disabled, the gain
is set to 1, and the external reference is selected.
ADC control: the AD7124-4 is in low power mode,
continuous conversion mode and the internal oscillator is
enabled and selected as the master clock source.
Diagnostics: the only diagnostic enabled is the
SPI_IGNORE_ERR function.
Note that only a few of the register setting options are shown;
this list is just an example. For full register information, see the
On-Chip Registers section.
Figure 69 shows an overview of the suggested flow for changing
the ADC configuration, divided into the following three blocks:
•
•
•
•
Channel configuration (see Box A in Figure 69)
Setup (see Box B in Figure 69)
Diagnostics (see Box C in Figure 69)
ADC control (see Box D in Figure 69)
Along with the analog inputs, signals such as the power supply
or reference can also be used as inputs; they are routed to the
multiplexer internally when selected. The AD7124-4 allows the
user to define 16 configurations, or channels, to the ADC. This
allows diagnostics to be interleaved with conversions.
Channel Registers
Use the channel registers to select which input pins are either the
positive analog input or the negative analog input for that
channel. This register also contains a channel enable/disable bit
and the setup selection bits, which are used to select which of
the eight available setups to use for this channel.
When the AD7124-4 is operating with more than one channel
enabled, the channel sequencer cycles through the enabled
channels in sequential order, from Channel 0 to Channel 15. If a
channel is disabled, it is skipped by the sequencer. Details of the
channel register for Channel 0 are shown in Table 40.

ADC Setups
bipolar mode, the ADC accepts negative differential input voltages,
and the output coding is offset binary. In unipolar mode, the ADC
accepts only positive differential voltages, and the coding is straight
binary. In either case, the input voltage must be within the AVDD
and AVSS supply voltages. The user can also select the reference
source using these registers. Four options are available: an
internal 2.5 V reference, an external reference connected
between REFIN1(+) and REFIN1(−), an external reference
connected between REFIN2(+) and REFIN2(−), or AVDD to AVSS.
The PGA gain is also set; gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128
are provided. The analog input buffers and reference input
buffers for the setup can also be enabled using this register.
The AD7124-4 has eight independent setups. Each setup
consists of the following four registers:
•
•
•
•
Configuration register
Filter register
Offset register
Gain register
For example, Setup 0 consists of Configuration Register 0, Filter
Register 0, Offset Register 0, and Gain Register 0. Figure 70
shows the grouping of these registers. The setup is selectable
from the channel registers detailed in the Channel Configuration
section. This allows each channel to be assigned to one of eight
separate setups. Table 41 through Table 44 show the four
registers that are associated with Setup 0. This structure is
repeated for Setup 1 to Setup 7.
Filter Registers
The filter registers select which digital filter is used at the output
of the ADC modulator. The filter type and the output data rate
are selected by setting the bits in this register. For more information,
see the Digital Filter section.
Configuration Registers
The configuration registers allow the user to select the output
coding of the ADC by selecting between bipolar and unipolar. In

Data Sheet
Offset Registers
When a diagnostic is enabled, the corresponding flag is contained
in the error register. All enabled flags are OR’ed to control the
ERR flag in the status register. Thus, if an error occurs (for example,
the SPI CRC check detects an error), the relevant flag (for example,
the SPI_CRC_ERR flag) in the error register is set. The ERR flag
in the status register is also set. This is useful when the status bits
are appended to conversions. The ERR bit indicates if an error has
occurred. The user can then read the error register for more
details on the error source.
The offset registers hold the offset calibration coefficient for the
ADC. The power-on reset value of an offset register is 0x800000.
The offset registers are 24-bit read/write registers. The poweron reset value is automatically overwritten if an internal or
system zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user or if the offset
registers are written to by the user.
Gain Registers
The gain registers are 24-bit registers that hold the gain
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The gain registers are
read/write registers. The gain is factory calibrated at a gain of 1;
thus, the default value varies from device to device. The default
value is automatically overwritten if an internal or system fullscale calibration is initiated by the user. For more information
on calibration, see the Calibration section.
The frequency of the on-chip oscillator can also be monitored
on the AD7124-4. The MCLK_COUNT register monitors the
master clock pulses. Table 45 to Table 47 give more detail on the
diagnostic registers. See the Diagnostics section for more detail
on the diagnostics available.
ADC Control Register
The ADC control register configures the core peripherals for use
by the AD7124-4 and the mode for the digital interface. The
power mode (full power, mid power, or low power) is selected
via this register. Also, the mode of operation is selected, for example,
continuous conversion or single conversion. The user can also
select the standby and power-down modes, as well as any of the
calibration modes. In addition, this register contains the clock
source select bits and the internal reference enable bits. The
reference select bits are contained in the setup configuration
registers (see the ADC Setups section for more information).
Diagnostics
The ERROR_EN register enables and disables the numerous
diagnostics on the AD7124-4. By default, the SPI_IGNORE
function is enabled, which indicates inappropriate times to
write to the ADC (for example, during power-up and during a
reset). Other diagnostics include
•
•
•
•
•
SPI read and write checks, which ensure that only valid
registers are accessed
SCLK counter, which ensures that the correct number of
SCLK pulses are used
SPI CRC
Memory map CRC
LDO checks
The digital interface operation is also selected via the ADC
control register. This register allows the user to enable the data
plus status read and continuous read mode. For more details, see
the Digital Interface section. The details of this register are
shown in Table 48.

AD7124-4
Understanding Configuration Flexibility
In Figure 71, Figure 72, and Figure 73, the registers shown in
black font are programmed for this configuration. The registers
shown in gray font are redundant.
The most straightforward implementation of the AD7124-4 is
to use differential inputs with adjacent analog inputs and run all
of them with the same setup, gain correction, and offset correction
register. For example, the user requires four differential inputs.
In this case, the user selects the following differential inputs: AIN0/
AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5, AIN6/AIN7.
Programming the gain and offset registers is optional for any
use case, as indicated by the dashed lines between the register
blocks. If an internal or system offset or full-scale calibration is
performed, the gain and offset registers for the selected channel
are automatically updated.
An alternative way to implement these four fully differential inputs
is by taking advantage of the eight available setups. Motivation for
this includes having a different speed, noise, or gain requirement on
some of the four differential inputs vs. other inputs, or there may be
a specific offset or gain correction for particular channels. Figure 72
shows how each of the differential inputs can use a separate setup,
allowing full flexibility in the configuration of each channel.

Data Sheet
Figure 73 shows an example of how the channel registers span
between the analog input pins and the setup configurations
downstream. In this random example, two differential inputs and
two single-ended inputs are required. The single-ended inputs are
the AIN0/AIN7 and AIN6/AIN7 combinations. The first differential input pair (AIN0/AIN1) uses Setup 0. The two single-ended
input pairs (AIN0/AIN7 and AIN6/AIN7) are set up as diagnostics;
therefore, they use a separate setup (Setup 1). The final differential
input (AIN2/AIN3) also uses a separate setup: Setup 2.
Given that three setups are selected for use, the CONFIG_0,
CONFIG_1, and CONFIG_2 registers are programmed as
required, and the FILTER_0, FILTER_1, and FILTER_2 registers
are also programmed as required. Optional gain and offset
correction can be employed on a per setup basis by
programming the GAIN_0, GAIN_1, and GAIN_2 registers
and the OFFSET_0, OFFSET_1, and OFFSET_2 registers.
In the example shown in Figure 73, the CHANNEL_0 to
CHANNEL_3 registers are used. Setting the MSB (the enable
bit) in each of these registers enables the four combinations via
the crosspoint multiplexer. When the AD7124-4 converts, the
sequencer transitions in ascending sequential order from
CHANNEL_0 to CHANNEL_1 to CHANNEL_2, and then on
to CHANNEL_3 before looping back to CHANNEL_0 to repeat
the sequence.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL
The channels are configured using the AINP[4:0] bits and the
AINM[4:0] bits in the channel registers (see Table 49). The device
can be configured to have four differential inputs, seven pseudo
differential inputs, or a combination of both. When using
differential inputs, use adjacent analog input pins to form the input
pair. Using adjacent pins minimizes any mismatch between the
channels.
The AD7124-4 uses flexible multiplexing; thus, any of the analog
input pins, AIN0 to AIN7, can be selected as a positive input or
a negative input. This feature allows the user to perform diagnostics
such as checking that pins are connected. It also simplifies printed
circuit board (PCB) design. For example, the same PCB can
accommodate 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire resistance temperature
detectors (RTDs).
The inputs can be buffered or unbuffered at a gain of 1 but are
automatically buffered when the gain exceeds 1. The AINP and
AINM buffers are enabled/disabled separately using the AIN_BUFP
and AIN_BUFM bits in the configuration register (see Table 50). In
buffered mode, the input channel feeds into a high impedance
input stage of the buffer amplifier. Therefore, the input can tolerate
significant source impedances and is tailored for direct connection
to external resistive type sensors such as strain gages or RTDs.

When the device is operated in unbuffered mode, the device has
a higher analog input current. Note that this unbuffered input
path provides a dynamic load to the driving source. Therefore,
resistor/capacitor (RC) combinations on the input pins can
cause gain errors, depending on the output impedance of the
source that is driving the ADC input.

The absolute input voltage in unbuffered mode (gain = 1)
includes the range between AVSS − 50 mV and AVDD + 50 mV.
The absolute input voltage range in buffered mode at a gain of 1 is
restricted to a range between AVSS + 100 mV and AVDD − 100 mV.
The common-mode voltage must not exceed these limits;
otherwise, linearity and noise performance degrade.

When the gain is greater than 1, the analog input buffers are

includes the range from AVSS − 50 mV to AVDD + 50 mV.

EXTERNAL IMPEDANCE WHEN USING A GAIN OF 1
6000
When a gain of 1 is used, the PGA is powered down, reducing
the current consumption. A capacitive network is included at
the PGA output for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
purposes. For a gain of 1, this capacitive network is connected
directly to the analog input pins because the PGA is bypassed
(see Figure 77). A precharge buffer is included on the AD7124-4
B grade to charge this capacitive network quickly when switching
channels. The precharge buffer ensures that the analog input is
settled when sampled by the ADC.

When using the AD7124-4, which does not include the
precharge buffer, using large external loads at a gain of 1 in
multiplexed applications affects the settling time. Large external
loads affect the initial error on the gain of 1 channel. The
external RC antialiasing filter determines the recovery time of
the channel. When the gain of 1 channel is selected, the
maximum possible error (initial error) is

If a fast output data rate is selected, the error in the conversion
has a magnitude comparable with Equation 1. For slower output
data rates, the error is reduced as the ADC takes more time to
process the analog input, which allows the front end to settle.
The settling time is dependent on the time constant of the
external antialiasing filter.
Figure 76. Error vs. Settled Output Data Rate (47 kΩ Resistors in Attenuator Circuit)
Figure 75 and Figure 76 show that, at low output data rates, the
ADC allows sufficient time for the gain of 1 channel to settle for
any external load resistance and RC filter values. At intermediate
output data rates, reducing the values of the external RC components reduces the time constant of the external filter so that the
analog input can settle within the allowed time. For high output
data rates, the settling time allowed by the ADC is short; therefore,
a large capacitor from AINP to AINM minimizes the error.
Figure 75 and Figure 76 show the error for different RC filter
combinations on the gain of 1 channel when a resistor
attenuator is connected to the analog input and the ADC is
multiplexed.
For gains > 1, the PGA is used, which isolates the internal
capacitive network from the analog input pins. Therefore, for
gains > 1, there are no restrictions on the external circuitry.

The AD7124-4 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, 64, or 128 by using the PGA bits in the configuration
register (see Table 50). The PGA consists of two stages. For a
gain of 1, both stages are bypassed. For gains of 2 to 8, a single
stage is used, whereas for gains greater than 8, both stages are used.
The analog input range is ±VREF/gain. Therefore, with an external
2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges are from 0 mV to 19.53 mV
to 0 V to 2.5 V, and the bipolar ranges are from ±19.53 mV to
±2.5 V. For high reference values, for example, VREF = AVDD, the
analog input range must be limited. Consult the Specifications
section for more details on these limits.
The recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the
AD7124-4 include the ADR4525, which is a low noise, low power
reference. Note that the reference input provides a high impedance,
dynamic load when unbuffered. Because the input impedance of
each reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations
on these inputs can cause dc gain errors if the reference inputs
are unbuffered, depending on the output impedance of the
source driving the reference inputs.
Reference voltage sources typically have low output impedances
and are, therefore, tolerant to having decoupling capacitors on
REFINx(+) without introducing gain errors in the system. Deriving
the reference input voltage across an external resistor means that
the reference input sees a significant external source impedance.
In this situation, using the reference buffers is required.
REFERENCE
The AD7124-4 has an embedded 2.5 V reference. The embedded
reference is a low noise, low drift reference with 15 ppm/°C drift
maximum for the AD7124-4 in the LFCSP package and
10 ppm/°C drift maximum for the TSSOP package and the
AD7124-4 B grade. Including the reference on the AD7124-4
reduces the number of external components needed in applications such as thermocouples, leading to a reduced PCB size.
REFIN1(+)
The common-mode range for the differential reference inputs is
from AVSS − 50 mV to AVDD + 50 mV when the reference
buffers are disabled. The reference inputs can also be buffered
on-chip. The buffers require 100 mV of headroom. The reference
voltage of REFIN (REFINx(+) − REFINx(−)) is 2.5 V nominal,
but the AD7124-4 is functional with reference voltages from
0.5 V to AVDD.
In applications where the excitation (voltage or current) for the
transducer on the analog input also drives the reference voltage
for the devices, the effect of the low frequency noise in the excitation source is removed, because the application is ratiometric. If
the AD7124-4 is used in nonratiometric applications, use a low
noise reference.

available on the REFOUT pin. A 0.1 μF decoupling capacitor is

This reference can be used to supply the ADC (by setting the
REF_EN bit in the ADC_CONTROL register to 1) or an
external reference can be applied. For external references, the
ADC has a fully differential input capability for the channel. In
addition, the user can select one of two external reference options
(REFIN1 or REFIN2). The reference source for the AD7124-4 is
selected using the REF_SEL bits in the configuration register
(see Table 50). When the internal reference is selected, it is
The analog input to the AD7124-4 can accept either unipolar or
bipolar input voltage ranges, which allows the user to tune the
ADC input range to the sensor output range. When a split
power supply is used, the device accepts truly bipolar inputs.
When a single power supply is used, a bipolar input range does
not imply that the device can tolerate negative voltages with
respect to system AVSS. Unipolar and bipolar signals on the
AINP input are referenced to the voltage on the AINM input.
For example, if AINM is 1.5 V and the ADC is configured for
unipolar mode with a gain of 1, the input voltage range on the
AINP input is 1.5 V to 3 V when VREF = AVDD = 3 V. If the ADC
is configured for bipolar mode, the analog input range on the
AINP input is 0 V to AVDD. The bipolar/unipolar option is chosen
by programming the bipolar bit in the configuration register.

DATA OUTPUT CODING
EXCITATION CURRENTS
When the ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output
code is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input
voltage resulting in a code of 00 … 00, a midscale voltage resulting
in a code of 100 … 000, and a full-scale input voltage resulting
in a code of 111 … 111. The output code for any analog input
voltage can be represented as
The AD7124-4 also contains two matched, software configurable,
constant current sources that can be programmed to equal 50 µA,
100 µA, 250 µA, 500 µA, 750 µA, or 1 mA. These current sources
can be used to excite external resistive bridges or RTD sensors.
Both current sources source currents from AVDD and can be
directed to any of the analog input pins (see Figure 81).
Code = (2N × AIN × Gain)/VREF
The pins on which the currents are made available are programmed
using the IOUT1_CH and IOUT0_CH bits in the IO_CONTROL_1
register (see Table 51). The magnitude of each current source is
individually programmable using the IOUT1 and IOUT0 bits in
the IO_CONTROL_1 register. In addition, both currents can be
output to the same analog input pin.
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output
code is offset binary with a negative full-scale voltage resulting
in a code of 000 … 000, a zero differential input voltage resulting
in a code of 100 … 000, and a positive full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111 … 111. The output code for any
analog input voltage can be represented as

AD7124-4
BRIDGE POWER-DOWN SWITCH
CLOCK
In bridge applications such as strain gages and load cells, the
bridge itself consumes the majority of the current in the system.
For example, a 350 Ω load cell requires 8.6 mA of current when
excited with a 3 V supply. To minimize the current consumption of
the system, the bridge can be disconnected (when it is not being
used) using the bridge power-down switch. The switch can withstand 30 mA of continuous current, and it has an on resistance
of 10 Ω maximum. The PDSW bit in the IO_CONTROL_1
register controls the switch.
The AD7124-4 includes an internal 614.4 kHz clock on chip. This
internal clock has a tolerance of ±5%. Use either the internal
clock or an external clock as the clock source to the AD7124-4.
The clock source is selected using the CLK_SEL bits in the
ADC_CONTROL register (see Table 54).
LOGIC OUTPUTS
The AD7124-4 has two general-purpose digital outputs: P1 and
P2. These are enabled using the GPIO_CTRL bits in the IO_
CONTROL_1 register (see Table 51). The pins can be pulled high
or low using the GPIO_DATx bits in the register; that is, the
value at the pin is determined by the setting of the GPIO_DATx
bits. The logic levels for these pins are determined by AVDD
rather than by IOVDD. When the IO_CONTROL_1 register is
read, the GPIO_DATx bits reflect the actual value at the pins;
this is useful for short-circuit detection.
These pins can be used to drive external circuitry, for example,
an external multiplexer. If an external multiplexer is used to
increase the channel count, the multiplexer logic pins can be
controlled via the AD7124-4 general-purpose output pins. The
general-purpose output pins can be used to select the active
multiplexer pin. Because the operation of the multiplexer is
independent of the AD7124-4, reset the modulator and filter
using the SYNC pin or by writing to the mode or configuration
register each time that the multiplexer channel is changed.
BIAS VOLTAGE GENERATOR
A bias voltage generator is included on the AD7124-4 (see
Figure 81). It biases the negative terminal of the selected input
channel to (AVDD − AVSS)/2. This function is useful in thermocouple applications, as the voltage generated by the thermocouple
must be biased around some dc voltage if the ADC operates from a
single power supply. The bias voltage generator is controlled using
the VBIASx bits in the IO_CONTROL_2 register (see Table 53).
The power-up time of the bias voltage generator is dependent
on the load capacitance. Consult the Specifications section for
more details.
The internal clock can also be made available at the CLK pin.
This is useful when several ADCs are used in an application and
the devices must be synchronized. The internal clock from one
device can be used as the clock source for all ADCs in the system.
Using a common clock, the devices can be synchronized by
applying a common reset to all devices, or the SYNC pin can be
pulsed.
POWER MODES
The AD7124-4 has three power modes: full power mode, mid
power mode, and low power mode. The mode is selected using
the POWER_MODE bits in the ADC_CONTROL register. The
power mode affects the power consumption of the device as
well as changing the master clock frequency. A 614.4 kHz clock
is used by the device. However, this clock is internally divided,
the division factor being dependent on the power mode. Thus,
the range of output data rates and performance is affected by
the power mode.

STANDBY AND POWER-DOWN MODES
In standby mode, most blocks are powered down. The LDOs
remain active so that registers maintain their contents. If
enabled, the reference, the internal oscillator, the P1 and P2
digital outputs, the bias voltage generator, and the low-side
power switch remain active. On the AD7124-4 B grade, the
excitation currents, if enabled, also remain active in standby
mode. The excitation currents are disabled on the AD7124-4.
These blocks can be disabled, if required, by setting the
corresponding bits appropriately. The reference detection and
LDO capacitor detection functions are disabled in standby mode.

Data Sheet
Other diagnostics remain active if enabled when the ADC is in
standby mode. Diagnostics can be enabled or disabled while in
standby mode. However, any diagnostics that require the master
clock (reference detect, undervoltage/overvoltage detection,
LDO trip tests, memory map CRC, and MCLK counter) must
be enabled when the ADC is in continuous conversion mode or
idle mode; these diagnostics do not function if enabled in
standby mode.
The standby current is typically 15 µA when the LDOs only are
enabled. If functions such as the bias voltage generator remain
active in standby mode, the current increases by 36 µA typically.
If the internal oscillator remains active in standby mode, the
current increases by 22 µA typically. When exiting standby
mode, the AD7124-4 requires 130 MCLK cycles to power up
and settle. The internal oscillator, if disabled in standby mode,
requires an additional 40 µs to power up and settle. If an external
master clock is being used, ensure that it is active before issuing
the command to exit standby mode. Do not write to the ADC_
CONTROL register again until the ADC has powered up and
settled.
In power-down mode, all blocks are powered down, including
the LDOs. All registers lose their contents, and the digital outputs
P1 and P2 are placed in tristate. To prevent accidental entry to
power-down mode, the ADC must first be placed into standby
mode. If an external master clock is being used, keep it active
until the device is placed in power-down mode. Exiting powerdown mode requires 64 SCLK cycles with CS = 0 and DIN = 1,
that is, a serial interface reset. The AD7124-4 requires 2 ms
typically to power up and settle. The POR_FLAG in the status
register can be monitored to determine the end of the power
up/settling period. After this time, the user can access the on-chip
registers. The power-down current is 2 µA typically.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The programmable functions of the AD7124-4 are controlled
using a set of on-chip registers. Data is written to these registers
via the serial interface. Read access to the on-chip registers is
also provided by this interface. All communications with the
device must start with a write to the communications register.
After power-on or reset, the device expects a write to its
communications register. The data written to this register
determines whether the next operation is a read operation or a
write operation, and determines to which register this read or
write operation occurs. Therefore, write access to any of the
other registers on the devices begins with a write operation to
the communications register, followed by a write to the selected
register. A read operation from any other register (except when
continuous read mode is selected) starts with a write to the
communications register, followed by a read operation from the
selected register.
The serial interface of the AD7124-4 consists of four signals: CS,
DIN, SCLK, and DOUT/RDY. The DIN line transfers data into
the on-chip registers, whereas DOUT/RDY accesses data from
the on-chip registers. SCLK is the serial clock input for the
device, and all data transfers (either on DIN or DOUT/RDY)
occur with respect to the SCLK signal. The DOUT/RDY pin
also operates as a data ready signal; the line goes low when a
new data-word is available in the output register. It is reset high
when a read operation from the data register is complete. It also
goes high before the data register updates to indicate when not
to read from the device, to ensure that a data read is not attempted
while the register is being updated. CS is used to select a device.
It can decode the AD7124-4 in systems where several components
are connected to the serial bus.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show timing diagrams for interfacing to the
AD7124-4 with CS decoding the devices. Figure 3 shows the
timing for a read operation from the output shift register of the
AD7124-4. Figure 4 shows the timing for a write operation to
the input shift register. A delay is required between consecutive
SPI communications. Figure 5 shows the delay required between
SPI read/write operations. It is possible to read the same word
from the data register several times, even though the DOUT/RDY
line returns high after the first read operation. However, care
must be taken to ensure that the read operations are complete
before the next output update occurs. In continuous read mode,
the data register can be read only once.
The serial interface can operate in 3-wire mode by tying CS low.
In this case, the SCLK, DIN, and DOUT/RDY lines communicate
with the AD7124-4. The end of the conversion can be monitored
using the RDY bit in the status register. This scheme is suitable
for interfacing to microcontrollers. If CS is required as a decoding
signal, it can be generated from a port pin. For microcontroller
interfaces, it is recommended that SCLK idle high between data
transfers.
The AD7124-4 can be operated with CS being used as a frame
synchronization signal. This scheme is useful for DSP interfaces.
In this case, the first bit (MSB) is effectively clocked out by CS,
because CS normally occurs after the falling edge of SCLK in
DSPs. SCLK can continue to run between data transfers,
provided the timing numbers are obeyed.
CS must be used to frame read and write operations and the
CS_EN bit in the ADC_CONTROL register must be set when
the diagnostics SPI_READ_ERR, SPI_WRITE_ERR, or
SPI_SCLK_CNT_ERR are enabled.
The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s on the
DIN input. See the Reset section for more details. Reset returns
the interface to the state in which it is expecting a write to the
communications register
The AD7124-4 can be configured to continuously convert or
perform a single conversion (see Figure 82 through Figure 84).
Single Conversion Mode
In single conversion mode, the AD7124-4 performs a single
conversion and is placed in standby mode after the conversion
is complete. If a master clock is present (external master clock
or the internal oscillator is enabled), DOUT/RDY goes low to

indicate the completion of a conversion. When the data-word is
read from the data register, DOUT/RDY goes high. The data
register can be read several times, if required, even when
DOUT/RDY is high. Do not read the ADC_CONTROL register
close to the completion of a conversion because the mode bits are
being updated by the ADC to indicate that the ADC is in standby
mode.
If several channels are enabled, the ADC automatically sequences
through the enabled channels and performs a conversion on
each channel. When a conversion is started, DOUT/RDY goes
high and remains high until a valid conversion is available and CS
is low. As soon as the conversion is available, DOUT/RDY goes low.
The ADC then selects the next channel and begins a conversion.
The user can read the present conversion while the next conversion
is being performed. As soon as the next conversion is complete,
the data register is updated; therefore, the user has a limited
period in which to read the conversion. When the ADC has
performed a single conversion on each of the selected channels,
it returns to standby mode.
If the DATA_STATUS bit in the ADC_CONTROL register is set
to 1, the contents of the status register are output along with the
conversion each time that the data read is performed. The four
LSBs of the status register indicate the channel to which the
conversion corresponds.
Continuous Conversion Mode
Continuous conversion is the default power-up mode. The
AD7124-4 converts continuously, and the RDY bit in the status
register goes low each time a conversion is complete. If CS is low,
the DOUT/RDY line also goes low when a conversion is complete.
To read a conversion, write to the communications register,
indicating that the next operation is a read of the data register.
When the data-word is read from the data register, DOUT/RDY
goes high. The user can read this register additional times, if
required. However, the user must ensure that the data register is
not being accessed at the completion of the next conversion;
otherwise the new conversion word is lost.
When several channels are enabled, the ADC automatically
sequences through the enabled channels, performing one
conversion on each channel. When all channels are converted,
the sequence starts again with the first channel. The channels
are converted in order from lowest enabled channel to highest
enabled channel. The data register is updated as soon as each
conversion is available. The DOUT/RDY pin pulses low each
time a conversion is available. The user can then read the
conversion while the ADC converts the next enabled channel.
If the DATA_STATUS bit in the ADC_CONTROL register is set
to 1, the contents of the status register, along with the conversion
data, are output each time the data register is read. The status
register indicates the channel to which the conversion corresponds.

Continuous Read Mode
In continuous read mode, it is not required to write to the
communications register before reading ADC data; apply the
required number of SCLKs after DOUT/RDY goes low to
indicate the end of a conversion. When the conversion is read,
DOUT/RDY returns high until the next conversion is available.
In this mode, the data can be read only once. Ensure that the dataword is read before the next conversion is complete. If the user
has not read the conversion before the completion of the next
conversion, or if insufficient serial clocks are applied to the
AD7124-4 to read the word, the serial output register is reset
when the next conversion is complete, and the new conversion
is placed in the output serial register. The ADC must be configured
for continuous conversion mode to use continuous read mode.
To enable continuous read mode, set the CONT_READ bit in
the ADC_CONTROL register. When this bit is set, the only serial
interface operations possible are reads from the data register. To
exit continuous read mode, write a read data command (0x42)
while the DOUT/RDY pin is low. Alternatively, apply a software
reset, that is, 64 SCLKs with CS = 0 and DIN = 1. This resets the
ADC and all register contents. These are the only commands
that the interface recognizes after it is placed in continuous read
mode. DIN must be held low in continuous read mode until an
instruction is to be written to the device.
If multiple ADC channels are enabled, each channel is output in
turn, with the status bits being appended to the data if DATA_
STATUS is set in the ADC_CONTROL register. The status
register indicates the channel to which the conversion corresponds.
DATA_STATUS
The contents of the status register can be appended to each
conversion on the AD7124-4. This is a useful function if several
channels are enabled. Each time a conversion is output, the
contents of the status register are appended. The four LSBs of
the status register indicate to which channel the conversion
corresponds. In addition, the user can determine if any errors
are being flagged via the ERROR_FLAG bit. To append the status
register contents to every conversion, the DATA_STATUS bit in
the ADC_CONTROL register is set to 1.
SERIAL INTERFACE RESET (DOUT_RDY_DEL AND
CS_EN BITS)
The instant at which the DOUT/RDY pin changes from being a
DOUT pin to a RDY pin is programmable on the AD7124-4. By
default, the D OUT/RDY pin changes functionality after a period
of time following the last SCLK rising edge, the SCLK edge on
which the LSB is read by the processor. This time is 10 ns
minimum by default and, by setting the DOUT_RDY_DEL bit
in the ADC_ CONTROL register to 1, can be extended to 110
ns minimum.
By setting the CS_EN bit in the ADC_CONTROL register to 1, the
DOUT/RDY pin continues to output the LSB of the register being
read until CS is taken high. This configuration is useful if the
CS signal is used to frame all read operations. If CS is not used
to frame all read operations, set CS_EN to 0 so that DOUT/RDY
changes functionality following the last SCLK edge in the read
operation.
CS_EN must be set to 1 and the CS signal must be used to frame all
read and write operations when the SPI_READ_ERR,
SPI_WRITE_ERR, and SPI_SCLK_CNT_ERR diagnostic
functions are enabled.
The serial interface is always reset on the CS rising edge, that is,
the interface is reset to a known state whereby it awaits a write
to the communications register. Therefore, if a read or write
operation is performed by performing multiple 8- bit data
transfers, CS must be held low until the all bits are transferred.
RESET
The circuitry and serial interface of the AD7124-4 can be reset
by writing 64 consecutive 1s to the device. This resets the logic,
the digital filter, and the analog modulator, and all on-chip
registers are reset to their default values. A reset is automatically
performed on power-up. A reset requires a time of 90 MCLK
cycles. The POR_FLAG bit in the status register is set to 1 when
the reset is initiated and then is set to 0 when the reset is
complete. A reset is useful if the serial interface becomes
asynchronous due to noise on the SCLK line.

AD7124-4
CALIBRATION
calibration, which ensures that the offset register is at its default
value. The AD7124-4 is factory calibrated at a gain of 1, and the
resulting gain coefficient is the default gain coefficient on the
device. The device does not support further internal full-scale
calibrations at a gain of 1.
The AD7124-4 provides four calibration modes that can be
used to eliminate the offset and gain errors on a per setup basis:
•
•
•
•
Internal zero-scale calibration mode
Internal full-scale calibration mode
System zero-scale calibration mode
System full-scale calibration mode
Only one channel can be active during calibration. After each
conversion, the ADC conversion result is scaled using the ADC
calibration registers before being written to the data register.
The default value of the offset register is 0x800000, and the nominal
value of the gain register is 0x5XXXXX. The calibration range
of the ADC gain is from 0.4 × VREF/gain to 1.05 × VREF/gain.
The following equations show the calculations that are used in
each calibration mode. In unipolar mode, the ideal
relationship—that is, not taking into account the ADC gain
error and offset error—is as follows:
0.75 × VIN
Data =
× 2 23 − (Offset − 0x800000) ×

In bipolar mode, the ideal relationship—that is, not taking into
account the ADC gain error and offset error—is as follows:

Data =
× 2 23 − (Offset − 0x800000) ×
VREF
Gain
+ 0x800000
0x400000
To start a calibration, write the relevant value to the mode bits
in the ADC_CONTROL register. The DOUT/RDY pin and the
RDY bit in the status register go high when the calibration
initiates. When the calibration is complete, the contents of the
corresponding offset or gain register are updated, the RDY bit
in the status register is reset, the DOUT/RDY pin returns low (if
CS is low), and the AD7124-4 reverts to idle mode.
System calibrations expect the system zero-scale (offset) and
system full-scale (gain) voltages to be applied to the ADC pins
before initiating the calibration modes. As a result, errors
external to the ADC are removed. The system zero-scale
calibration must be performed before the system full-scale
calibration.
From an operational point of view, treat a calibration like
another ADC conversion. Set the system software to monitor
the RDY bit in the status register or the DOUT/RDY pin to
determine the end of a calibration via a polling sequence or an
interrupt-driven routine.
An internal/system offset calibration and system full-scale
calibration requires a time equal to the settling time of the
selected filter to be completed. The internal full-scale
calibration requires a time of four settling periods (gain > 1).
A calibration can be performed at any output data rate. Using
lower output data rates results in better calibration accuracy and
is accurate for all output data rates. A new calibration is required
for a given channel if the reference source or the gain for that
channel is changed.
Offset and system full-scale calibrations can be performed in
any power mode. Internal full-scale calibrations can be performed
in the low power or mid power modes only. Thus, when using
full power mode, the user must select mid or low power mode
to perform the internal full-scale calibration. However, an internal
full-scale calibration performed in low or mid power mode is
valid in full power mode, if the same gain is used.
During an internal offset calibration, the selected positive
analog input pin is disconnected, and it is connected internally
to the selected negative analog input pin. For this reason, it is
necessary to ensure that the voltage on the selected negative
analog input pin does not exceed the allowed limits and is free
from excessive noise and interference.
The offset error is typically ±15 µV for gains of 1 to 8 and
±200/gain µV for higher output data rates. An internal or system
offset calibration reduces the offset error to the order of the
noise. The gain error is factory calibrated at ambient temperature
and at a gain of 1. Following this calibration, the gain error is
±0.0025% maximum. Therefore, internal full-scale calibrations
at a gain of 1 are not supported on the AD7124-4. For other
gains, the gain error is −0.3%. An internal full-scale calibration at
ambient temperature reduces the gain error to ±0.016%
maximum for gains of 2 to 8 and ±0.025% typically for higher
gains. A system full-scale calibration reduces the gain error to the
order of the noise.
To perform an internal full-scale calibration, a full-scale input
voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input
for this calibration. A full-scale calibration is recommended
each time the gain of a channel is changed to minimize the fullscale error. When performing internal calibrations, the internal
full-scale calibration must be performed before the internal
zero-scale calibration. Therefore, write the value 0x800000 to
the offset register before performing the internal full-scale
The AD7124-4 provides the user with access to the on-chip
calibration registers, allowing the microprocessor to read the
calibration coefficients of the device and to write its own
calibration coefficients from prestored values in the EEPROM.
A read or write of the offset and gain registers can be performed
at any time except during an internal or self-calibration. The
values in the calibration registers are 24 bits wide. The span and
offset of the device can also be manipulated using the registers.

SPAN AND OFFSET LIMITS
SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION
Whenever a system calibration mode is used, the amount of
offset and span which can be accommodated is limited. The
overriding requirement in determining the amount of offset
and gain which can be accommodated by the device is the
requirement that the positive full-scale calibration limit is
≤1.05 × VREF/gain. This allows the input range to go 5% above
the nominal range. The built-in headroom in the AD7124-4
analog modulator ensures that the device still operates correctly
with a positive full-scale voltage which is 5% beyond the nominal.
The SYNC input allows the user to reset the modulator and the
digital filter without affecting any of the setup conditions on the
device. This allows the user to start gathering samples of the
analog input from a known point in time, that is, the rising edge
of SYNC. Take SYNC low for at least four master clock cycles to
implement the synchronization function.
The range of input span in both the unipolar and bipolar modes
has a minimum value of 0.8 × VREF/gain and a maximum value
of 2.1 × VREF/gain. However, the span, which is the difference
between the bottom of the AD7124-4 input range and the top of
its input range, must account for the limitation on the positive
full-scale voltage. The amount of offset that can be accommodated
depends on whether the unipolar or bipolar mode is being used.
The offset must account for the limitation on the positive fullscale voltage. In unipolar mode, there is considerable flexibility in
handling negative (with respect to AINM) offsets. In both
unipolar and bipolar modes, the range of positive offsets that
can be handled by the device depends on the selected span.
Therefore, in determining the limits for system zero-scale and
full-scale calibrations, the user must ensure that the offset range
plus the span range does exceed 1.05 × VREF/gain. This is best
illustrated by looking at a few examples.
If the device is used in unipolar mode with a required span of
0.8 × VREF/gain, the offset range that the system calibration can
handle is from −1.05 × VREF/gain to +0.25 × VREF/gain. If the
device is used in unipolar mode with a required span of
VREF/gain, the offset range that the system calibration can
handle is from −1.05 × VREF/gain to +0.05 × VREF/gain. Similarly,
if the device is used in unipolar mode and required to remove
an offset of 0.2× VREF/gain, the span range that the system
calibration can handle is 0.85 × VREF/gain.
If the device is used in bipolar mode with a required span of
±0.4 × VREF/gain, then the offset range which the system
calibration can handle is from −0.65 × VREF/gain to +0.65 ×
VREF/gain. If the device is used in bipolar mode with a required
span of ±VREF/gain, the offset range the system calibration can
handle is from −0.05 × VREF/gain to +0.05 × VREF/gain. Similarly,
if the device is used in bipolar mode and required to remove an
offset of ±0.2 × VREF/gain, the span range that the system
calibration can handle is ±0.85 × VREF/gain.
If multiple AD7124-4 devices are operated from a common
master clock, they can be synchronized so that their data
registers are updated simultaneously. A falling edge on the
SYNC pin resets the digital filter and the analog modulator and
places the AD7124-4 into a consistent, known state. While the
SYNC pin is low, the AD7124-4 is maintained in this state. On
the SYNC rising edge, the modulator and filter exit this reset
state and, on the next clock edge, the device starts to gather
input samples again. In a system using multiple AD7124-4
devices, a common signal to their SYNC pins synchronizes their
operation. This is normally performed after each AD7124-4 has
performed its own calibration or has calibration coefficients
loaded into its calibration registers. The conversions from the
AD7124-4 devices are then synchronized.
The device exits reset on the master clock falling edge following
the SYNC low to high transition. Therefore, when multiple
devices are being synchronized, pull the SYNC pin high on the
master clock rising edge to ensure that all devices begin
sampling on the master clock falling edge. If the SYNC pin is
not taken high in sufficient time, it is possible to have a
difference of one master clock cycle between the devices; that is,
the instant at which conversions are available differs from
device to device by a maximum of one master clock cycle.
The SYNC pin can also be used as a start conversion command.
In this mode, the rising edge of SYNC starts conversion and the
falling edge of RDY indicates when the conversion is complete.
The settling time of the filter must be allowed for each data
register update. For example, if the ADC is configured to use
the sinc4 filter and zero latency is disabled, the settling time
equals 4/fADC where fADC is the output data rate when
continuously converting on a single channel.

When conversions are performed on a single channel and a

analog input. Therefore, it continues to output conversions
at the programmed output data rate. However, it is at least four
conversions later before the output data accurately reflects the
analog input. If the step change occurs while the ADC is
processing a conversion, then the ADC takes five conversions
after the step change to generate a fully settled result.

Sinc4 Zero Latency
Zero latency is enabled by setting the SINGLE_CYCLE bit in
the filter register to 1. With zero latency, the conversion time
when continuously converting on a single channel approximately
equals the settling time. The benefit of this mode is that a similar
period of time elapses between all conversions irrespective of
whether the conversions occur on one channel or whether several
channels are used. When the analog input is continuously sampled
on a single channel, the output data rate equals
fADC = fCLK/(4 × 32 × FS[10:0])
1/fADC
Figure 88. Sinc4 Zero Latency Operation
At low output data rates, this extra delay has little impact on the
value of the settling time. However, at high output data rates, the
delay must be considered. Table 57 summarizes the output data
rate when continuously converting on a single channel and the
settling time when switching between channels for a sample of
FS[10:0] values.
When switching between channels, the AD7124-4 allows the
complete settling time to generate the first conversion after the
channel change. Therefore, the ADC automatically operates in
zero latency mode when several channels are enabled—setting
the SINGLE_CYCLE bit has no benefits.

The description in the Sinc4 Filter section is valid when
manually switching channels, for example, writing to the device
to change channels. When multiple channels are enabled, the
on-chip sequencer is automatically used; the device
automatically sequences between all enabled channels. In this
case, the first conversion takes the complete settling time as
listed in Table 56. For all subsequent conversions, the time
needed for each conversion is the settling time also, but the
dead time is reduced to 30.
Sinc4 50 Hz and 60 Hz Rejection
Figure 89 shows the frequency response of the sinc4 filter when
the output data rate is programmed to 50 SPS and zero latency
is disabled. For the same configuration but with zero latency
enabled, the filter response remains the same but the output data
rate is 12.5 SPS. The sinc4 filter provides 50 Hz (±1 Hz) rejection in
excess of 120 dB minimum, assuming a stable master clock.

When the analog input is constant or a channel change occurs,
valid conversions are available at a near constant output data
rate. When conversions are being performed on a single
channel and a step change occurs on the analog input, the ADC
continues to output fully settled conversions if the step change is
synchronized with the conversion process. If the step change is
asynchronous, one conversion is output from the ADC, which is
not completely settled (see Figure 88).

Disabled or 15 SPS Output Data Rate, Zero Latency Enabled)
When the output data rate is 10 SPS with zero latency disabled
or 2.5 SPS with zero latency enabled, simultaneous 50 Hz and
60 Hz rejection is obtained. The sinc4 filter provides 50 Hz
(±1 Hz) and 60 Hz (±1 Hz) rejection of 120 dB minimum,
assuming a stable master clock.
A sinc3 filter can be used instead of the sinc4 filter. The filter is
selected using the filter bits in the filter register. This filter has
good noise performance, moderate settling time, and moderate
50 Hz and 60 Hz (±1 Hz) rejection. In Figure 93, the blocks
shown in gray are unused.

Figure 94. Sinc3 Channel Change
When conversions are performed on a single channel and a step
change occurs, the ADC does not detect the change in the
analog input. Therefore, it continues to output conversions at
the programmed output data rate. However, it is at least three
conversions later before the output data accurately reflects the
analog input. If the step change occurs while the ADC is processing
a conversion, the ADC takes four conversions after the step
change to generate a fully settled result.
where:
fADC is the output data rate.
fCLK is the master clock frequency.
FS[10:0] is the decimal equivalent of the FS[10:0] bits in the
filter register.
When switching channels, there is an extra delay in the first
conversion of
Dead time/fCLK
where Dead time = 61 when FS[10:0] = 1 or 95 when FS > 1.
At low output data rates, this extra delay has little impact on the
value of the settling time. However, at high output data rates, the
delay must be considered. Table 59 summarizes the output data rate
when continuously converting on a single channel and the settling
time when switching between channels for a sample of FS[10:0].
When the user selects another channel, the AD7124-4 allows
the complete settling time to generate the first conversion after
the channel change. Therefore, the ADC automatically operates
in zero latency mode when several channels are enabled—setting
the SINGLE_CYCLE bit has no benefits.
When the analog input is constant or a channel change occurs,
valid conversions are available at a near constant output data
rate. When conversions are being performed on a single channel
and a step change occurs on the analog input, the ADC continues
to output fully settled conversions if the step change is synchronized
with the conversion process. If the step change is asynchronous,
one conversion is output from the ADC that is not completely
settled (see Figure 96).

Zero latency is enabled by setting the SINGLE_CYCLE bit in
the filter register to 1. With zero latency, the conversion time
when continuously converting on a single channel approximately
equals the settling time. The benefit of this mode is that a similar
period of time elapses between all conversions irrespective of
whether the conversions occur on one channel or whether
several channels are used.

The description in the Sinc3 Filter section is valid when manually

channels. When multiple channels are enabled, the on-chip
sequencer is automatically used; the device automatically
sequences between all enabled channels. In this case, the first
conversion takes the complete settling time as listed in Table 58.
For all subsequent conversions, the time needed for each conversion
is also the settling time, but the dead time is reduced to 30.
When the output data rate is 10 SPS with zero latency disabled
or 3.33 SPS with zero latency enabled, simultaneous 50 Hz and

In fast settling mode, the settling time is close to the inverse of
the first filter notch; therefore, the user can achieve 50 Hz and/or
60 Hz rejection at an output data rate close to 1/50 Hz or 1/60 Hz.
The settling time is approximately equal to 1/output data rate.
Therefore, the conversion time is near constant when converting
on a single channel or when converting on several channels.

When continuously converting on a single channel, the output
data rate is
fADC = fCLK/((4 + Avg − 1) × 32 × FS[10:0])
where:
fADC is the output data rate.
fCLK is the master clock frequency (614.4 kHz in full power mode,
153.6 kHz in mid power mode, and 76.8 kHz in low power mode).
Avg is 16 for the full or mid power mode and 8 for low power
mode.
FS[10:0] is the decimal equivalent of the FS[10:0] bits in the
filter register. FS[10:0] can have a value from 1 to 2047.
When another channel is selected by the user, there is an extra
delay in the first conversion. The settling time is equal to
tSETTLE = ((4 + Avg − 1) × 32 × FS[10:0] + Dead time)/fCLK
where Dead time = 95.
The 3 dB frequency is equal to
f3dB = 0.44 × fADC

50 Hz and 60 Hz Rejection, Sinc4 + Sinc1 Filter
Figure 104 shows the frequency response when FS[10:0] is set to
24 in the full power mode or 6 in the mid power mode or low
power mode. Table 60 lists the corresponding output data rate.
The sinc filter places the first notch at
fNOTCH = fCLK/(32 × FS[10:0])
The sinc1 filter places notches at fNOTCH/Avg (Avg equaling 16 for
the full power mode and mid power mode and equaling 8 for
the low power mode). Notches are also placed at multiples of
this frequency; therefore, when FS[10:0] is set to 6 in the full
power mode or mid power mode, a notch is placed at 800 Hz
due to the sinc filter and notches are placed at 50 Hz and
multiples of 50 Hz due to the averaging. In low power mode, a
notch is placed at 400 Hz due to the sinc filter and notches are
placed at 50 Hz and multiples of 50 Hz due to the averaging.
The notch at 50 Hz is a first-order notch; therefore, the notch is
not wide. This means that the rejection at 50 Hz exactly is good,
assuming a stable master clock. However, in a band of 50 Hz ± 1 Hz,
the rejection degrades significantly. The rejection at 50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz
is 40 dB minimum, assuming a stable clock; therefore, a good
master clock source is recommended when using fast settling mode.

Figure 111. 60 Hz Rejection
Simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection is achieved when FS[10:0]
is set to 384 in full power mode or 30 in the mid power and low
power modes. Notches are placed at 10 Hz and multiples of 10 Hz,
thereby giving simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection. The
rejection at 50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz and 60 Hz ± 0.5 Hz is 42 dB typically.
The notch at 50 Hz is a first-order notch; therefore, the notch is not
wide. This means that the rejection at 50 Hz exactly is good, assuming a stable master clock. However, in a band of 50 Hz ± 1 Hz, the
rejection degrades significantly. The rejection at 50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz is

POST FILTERS
The post filters provide rejection of 50 Hz and 60 Hz
simultaneously and allow the user to trade off settling time and
rejection. These filters can operate up to 27.27 SPS or can reject
up to 90 dB of 50 Hz ± 1 Hz and 60 Hz ± 1 Hz interference. These
Table 62 shows the output data rates with the accompanying
settling times and the rejection.
When continuously converting on a single channel, the first
conversion requires a time of tSETTLE. Subsequent conversions
occur at 1/fADC. When multiple channels are enabled (either
manually or using the sequencer), the settling time is required
to generate a valid conversion on each enabled channel.

SUMMARY OF FILTER OPTIONS
The AD7124-4 has several filter options. The filter that is
chosen affects the output data rate, settling time, the rms noise,
the stop band attenuation, and the 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection.
Table 63 shows some sample configurations and the
corresponding performance in terms of throughput and 50 Hz
and 60 Hz rejection.

DIAGNOSTICS
The AD7124-4 has numerous diagnostic functions on chip. Use
these features to ensure
is performed, check the status of the REF_DET_ERR bit at the
end of the calibration cycle.
•
•
•
•
•
The reference detect flag may be set when the device exits
standby mode. Therefore, read the error register after exiting
standby mode to reset the flag to 0.
Read/write operations are to valid registers only
Only valid data is written to the on-chip registers
Appropriate decoupling is used on the LDOs
The external reference, if used, is present
The ADC modulator and filter are working within
specification
CALIBRATION, CONVERSION, AND SATURATION
ERRORS
Functions such as the reference and power supply voltages can
be selected as inputs to the ADC. The AD7124-4 can therefore
check the voltages connected to the device. The AD7124-4 also
generates an internal 20 mV signal that can be applied internally to
a channel by selecting the V_20MV_P to V_20MV_M channel
in the channel register. The PGA can be checked using this
function. As the PGA setting is increased, for example, the
signal as a percent of the analog input range is reduced by a
factor of two. This allows the user to check that the PGA is
functioning correctly.
REFERENCE DETECT
The AD7124-4 includes on-chip circuitry to detect if there is a
valid reference for conversions or calibrations when the user
selects an external reference as the reference source. This is a
valuable feature in applications such as RTDs or strain gages
where the reference is derived externally.
OUTPUT: 0 WHEN REFIN ≤0.7V
1 WHEN REFIN 1) takes a time of four settling periods.
Internal full-scale calibrations cannot be performed in the full power mode. So, if using the full-power mode, select mid or low
power mode for the internal full-scale calibration. This calibration is valid in full power mode as the same reference and gain are
used. When performing internal zero-scale and internal full-scale calibrations, the internal full-scale calibration must be
performed before the internal zero-scale calibration. Therefore, write 0x800000 to the offset register before performing any
internal full-scale calibration, which resets the offset register to its default value.

Description
System zero-scale (offset) calibration. Connect the system zero-scale input to the channel input pins of the selected channel. RDY
goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode
following a calibration. The measured offset coefficient is placed in the offset register of the selected channel. A system zeroscale calibration is required each time the gain of a channel is changed. Select only one channel when full-scale calibration is
being performed. A system zero-scale calibration takes a time of one settling period to be performed.
System full-scale (gain) calibration. Connect the system full-scale input to the channel input pins of the selected channel. RDY goes
high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following
a calibration. The measured full-scale coefficient is placed in the gain register of the selected channel. A full-scale calibration is
required each time the gain of a channel is changed. Select only one channel when full-scale calibration is being performed. A

Description
This bit must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Master clock counter. When this bit is set, the master clock counter is enabled and the result is
reported via the MCLK_COUNT register. The counter monitors the master clock being used by the
ADC. If an external clock is the clock source, the MCLK counter monitors this external clock.
Similarly, if the on-chip oscillator is selected as the clock source to the ADC, the MCLK counter
monitors the on-chip oscillator.
Test of analog/digital LDO decoupling capacitor check. When this bit is set, the decoupling
capacitor is internally disconnected from the LDO, forcing a fault condition. This allows the user to
test the circuitry which is used for the analog and digital LDO decoupling capacitor check.
Analog/digital LDO decoupling capacitor check. These bits enable the capacitor check. When a
check is enabled, the ADC checks for the presence of the external decoupling capacitor on the
selected supply. When the check is complete, the LDO_CAP_CHK bits are both reset to 0.
00 = check is not enabled.
01 = check the analog LDO capacitor.
10 = check the digital LDO capacitor.
11 = check is not enabled.
When this bit is set, the calibration fail check is enabled.
When this bit is set, the conversions are monitored and the ADC_CONV_ERR bit is set when a
conversion fails.
When this bit is set, the ADC modulator saturation check is enabled.
When this bit is set, the overvoltage monitor on all enabled AINP channels is enabled.
When this bit is set, the undervoltage monitor on all enabled AINP channels is enabled.
When this bit is set, the overvoltage monitor on all enabled AINM channels is enabled.
When this bit is set, the undervoltage monitor on all enabled AINM channels is enabled.
When this bit is set, any external reference being used by the ADC is continuously monitored. An
error is flagged if the external reference is open circuit or has a value of less than 0.7 V.
Checks the test mechanism that monitors the digital LDO. When this bit is set, the input to the test
circuit is tied to DGND instead of the LDO output. Set the DLDO_PSM_ERR bit in the error register.
When this bit is set, the digital LDO voltage is continuously monitored. The DLDO_PSM_ERR bit in
the error register is set if the voltage being output from the digital LDO is outside specification.
Checks the test mechanism that monitors the analog LDO. When this bit is set, the input to the
test circuit is tied to AVSS instead of the LDO output. Set the ALDO_PSM_ERR bit in the error
register.
When this bit is set, the analog LDO voltage is continuously monitored. The ALDO_PSM_ERR bit in
the error register is set if the voltage being output from the analog LDO is outside specification.
When a CRC check of the internal registers is being performed, the on-chip registers cannot be
accessed. User write instructions are ignored by the ADC. Set this bit so that the SPI_IGNORE_ERR
bit in the error register informs the user when write operations must not be performed.
When this bit is set, the SCLK counter is enabled. All read and write operations to the ADC are
multiples of eight bits. For every serial communication, the SCLK counter counts the number of
SCLK pulses. CS must be used to frame each read and write operation. If the number of SCLK
pulses used during a communication is not a multiple of eight, the SPI_SCLK_CNT_ERR bit in the
error register is set. For example, a glitch on the SCLK pin during a read or write operation can be
interpreted as an SCLK pulse. In this case, the SPI_SCLK_CNT_ERR bit is set as there is an excessive
number of SCLK pulses detected. CS_EN in the ADC_CONTROL register must be set to 1 when the
SCLK counter function is being used.
When this bit is set, the SPI_READ_ERR bit in the error register is set when an error occurs during a
read operation. An error occurs if the user attempts to read from invalid addresses. CS_EN in the
ADC_CONTROL register must be set to 1 when the SPI read check function is being used.
When this bit is set, the SPI_WRITE_ERR bit in the error register is set when an error occurs during a
write operation. An error occurs if the user attempts to write to invalid addresses or write to readonly registers. CS_EN in the ADC_CONTROL register must be set to 1 when the SPI write check
function is being used.

Description
This bit enables a CRC check of all read and write operations. The SPI_CRC_ERR bit in the error
register is set if the CRC check fails. In addition, an 8-bit CRC word is appended to all data read
from the AD7124-4.
When this bit is set, a CRC calculation is performed on the memory map each time that the
registers are written to. Following this, periodic CRC checks are performed on the on-chip
registers. If the register contents have changed, the MM_CRC_ERR bit is set.
When this bit is set, a CRC calculation is performed on the ROM contents on power-on. If the ROM
contents have changed, the ROM_CRC_ERR bit is set.

MCLK_COUNT
Description
This register allows the user to determine the frequency of the internal/external oscillator. Internally, a clock counter
increments every 131 pulses of the sampling clock (614.4 kHz in full power mode, 153.6 kHz in mid power mode,
and 768 kHz in low power mode). The 8-bit counter wraps around on reaching its maximum value. The counter
output is read back via this register. Note that the incrementation of the register is asynchronous to the register
read. If a register read coincides with the register incrementation, it is possible to read an invalid value. To prevent
this, read the register four times, then read the register four times again at a later point. By reading four values, it is
possible to identify the correct register value at the start and end of the timing instants.
CHANNEL REGISTERS
RS[5:0] = 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1 to 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0
Power-On/Reset = 0x8001 for CHANNEL_0; all other channel registers are set to 0x0001
Sixteen channel registers are included on the AD7124-4, CHANNEL_0 to CHANNEL_15. The channel registers begin at Address 0x09
(CHANNEL_0) and end at Address 0x18 (CHANNEL_15). Via each register, the user can configure the channel (AINP input and AINM
input), enable or disable the channel, and select the setup. The setup is selectable from eight different options defined by the user. When
the ADC converts, it automatically sequences through all enabled channels. This allows the user to sample some channels multiple times
in a sequence, if required. In addition, it allows the user to include diagnostic functions in a sequence also.
Table 74 outlines the bit designations for the register. Bit 15 is the first bit of the data stream. The number in parentheses indicates the

Description
Channel enable bit. Setting this bit enables the device channel for the conversion sequence. By default, only the
enable bit for Channel 0 is set. The order of conversions starts with the lowest enabled channel, then cycles
through successively higher channel numbers, before wrapping around to the lowest channel again.
When the ADC writes a result for a particular channel, the four LSBs of the status register are set to the channel
number, 0 to 15. This allows the channel the data corresponds to be identified. When the DATA_STATUS bit in the
ADC_CONTROL register is set, the contents of the status register are appended to each conversion when it is
read. Use this function when several channels are enabled to determine to which channel the conversion value
read corresponds.

011 = reserved.
100 = fast settling filter using the sinc4 filter. The sinc4 filter is followed by an averaging block, which results
in a settling time equal to the conversion time. In full power and mid power modes, averaging by 16 occurs
whereas averaging by 8 occurs in low power mode.
101 = fast settling filter using the sinc3 filter. The sinc3 filter is followed by an averaging block, which results
in a settling time equal to the conversion time. In full power and mid power modes, averaging by 16 occurs
whereas averaging by 8 occurs in low power mode.
110 = reserved.
111 = post filter enabled. The AD7124-4 includes several post filters, selectable using the POST_FILTER bits.
The post filters have single cycle settling, the settling time being considerably better than a simple
sinc3/sinc4 filter. These filters offer excellent 50 Hz and60 Hz rejection.
When this bit is set, a first order notch is placed at 60 Hz when the first notch of the sinc filter is at 50 Hz.
This allows simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection.
Post filter type select bits. When the filter bits are set to 1, the sinc3 filter is followed by a post filter which
offers good 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection at output data rates that have zero latency approximately.

Single cycle conversion enable bit. When this bit is set, the AD7124-4 settles in one conversion cycle so that
it functions as a zero latency ADC. This bit has no effect when multiple analog input channels are enabled
or when the single conversion mode is selected. When the fast filters are used, this bit has no effect.
These bits must be programmed with a Logic 0 for correct operation.
Filter output data rate select bits. These bits set the output data rate of the sinc3 and sinc4 filters as well as
the fast settling filters. In addition, they affect the position of the first notch of the filter and the cutoff
frequency. In association with the gain selection, they also determine the output noise and, therefore, the
effective resolution of the device (see noise tables). FS can have a value from 1 to 2047.

The AD7124-4 has eight offset registers, OFFSET_0 to OFFSET_7.
Each offset register is associated with a setup; OFFSET_x is
associated with Setup x. The offset registers are 24-bit registers
and hold the offset calibration coefficient for the ADC and its
power-on reset value is 0x800000. Each of these registers is a
read/write register. These registers are used in conjunction with
the associated gain register to form a register pair. The poweron reset value is automatically overwritten if an internal or
system zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user. The ADC
must be placed in standby mode or idle mode when writing to
the offset registers.
The AD7124-4 has eight gain registers, GAIN_0 to GAIN_7. Each
gain register is associated with a setup; GAIN_x is associated
with Setup x. The gain registers are 24-bit registers and hold the
full-scale calibration coefficient for the ADC. The AD7124-4 is
factory calibrated to a gain of 1. The gain register contains this
factory generated value on power-on and after a reset. The gain
registers are read/write registers. However, when writing to the
registers, the ADC must be placed in standby mode or idle
mode. The default value is automatically overwritten if an
internal or system full-scale calibration is initiated by the user
or the full-scale registers are written to.
