PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1
The AD7329 is an 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive
approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS™ (industrial
CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage
CMOS and low voltage CMOS. It enables the development of
a wide range of high performance analog ICs capable of 33 V
operation in a footprint that no previous generation of high
voltage parts could achieve. Unlike analog ICs using conventional
CMOS processes, iCMOS components can accept bipolar input
signals while providing increased performance, dramatically
reduced power consumption, and reduced package size.
1.
The AD7329 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The
AD7329 has four software-selectable input ranges: ±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V. Each analog input channel can be
independently programmed to one of the four input ranges.
The analog input channels on the AD7329 can be programmed
to be single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential.
Table 1. Similar Devices
The ADC contains a 2.5 V internal reference. The AD7329 also
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is
applied to the REFIN/REFOUT pin, the AD7329 can accept a true
bipolar ±12 V analog input. The ADC has a high speed serial
interface that can operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.

5.
The AD7329 can accept true bipolar analog input signals,
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V unipolar signals.
The eight analog inputs can be configured as eight singleended inputs, four true differential input pairs, four pseudo
differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs.
1 MSPS serial interface. SPI®-/QSPI™-/DSP-/MICROWIRE™compatible interface.
Low power, 21 mW, at 1 MSPS.
The MUXOUT± and ADCIN± pins allow for signal conditioning
of the mux output prior to entering the ADC.

Descriptions
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on the
AD7329 and frames the serial data transfer.
Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the register
on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Registers section).
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7329. Ideally, the DGND and AGND
voltages are at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7329. All analog input signals and
any external reference signal must be referred to this AGND voltage. Ideally, the AGND and DGND voltages
are at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the AD7329.
The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at the pin. A 680 nF capacitor must be placed
on the reference pin. Alternatively, the internal reference can be disabled and an external reference can be
applied to this input. On power-up, the external reference mode is the default condition (see the Reference
section).
Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.
Positive ADC Input. This pin allows access to the on-chip track-and-hold. The voltage applied to this pin is still
a high voltage signal (±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, or 0 V to +10 V).
Positive Multiplexer Output. The output of the multiplexer appears at this pin. The voltage at this pin is still a
high voltage signal equivalent to the voltage applied to the VIN+ input channel, as selected in the control
register or sequence register. If no external filtering or buffering is required, tie this pin to the ADCIN+ pin.
Analog Input 0 Through Analog Input 7. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold.
The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the channel address bits, ADD2
through ADD0, in the control register. The inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs, four true
differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. The configuration
of the analog inputs is selected by programming the mode bits, Mode 1 and Mode 0, in the control register.
The input range on each input channel is controlled by programming the range registers. Input ranges of
±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, or 0 V to +10 V can be selected on each analog input channel (see the Range Registers
section). On power-up, VIN0 is automatically selected and the voltage on this pin appears on MUXOUT+.
Negative Multiplexer Output. This pin allows access to the on-chip track-and-hold. The voltage applied to this
pin is still a high voltage signal when the AD7329 is in differential mode. In single-ended mode, this pin can
either be left floating or tied to AGND. When the AD7329 is in pseudo differential mode, a small dc voltage
appears at this pin, and this pin is tied to the ADCIN− pin.
Negative ADC Input. This pin allows access to the track-and-hold. When the AD7329 is in single-ended mode,
tie this pin to AGND. When the AD7329 is in pseudo differential mode, connect this pin to MUXOUT−. When
the AD7329 is in true differential mode, the voltage applied to this pin is a high voltage signal (±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V, or 0 V to +10 V).
Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.
Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC core on the AD7329. Decouple
this supply to AGND.

Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface operates.
Decouple this pin to DGND. The voltage at this pin can be different than that at VCC but must not exceed VCC
by more than 0.3 V.
Serial Data Output. The conversion output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream. The bits are
clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input, and 16 SCLKs are required to access the data. The data
stream consists of three channel identification bits, the sign bit, and 12 bits of conversion data. The data is
provided MSB first (see the Serial Interface section).
Serial Clock, Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK used for accessing the data from the AD7329.
This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.

TERMINOLOGY
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (a point 1 LSB
below the first code transition) and full scale (a point 1 LSB
above the last code transition).
Offset Error
This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation
of the first code transition (00 ... 000) to (00 ... 001) from the
ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.
Offset Error Match
This is the difference in offset error between any two input
channels.
Gain Error
This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation
of the last code transition (111 ... 110) to (111 ... 111) from the
ideal (that is, 4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF − 1 LSB)
after adjusting for the offset error.
Gain Error Match
This is the difference in gain error between any two input
channels.
Negative Full-Scale Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and
any of the bipolar analog input ranges. This is the deviation of
the first code transition (10 … 000) to (10 … 001) from the ideal
(that is, −4 × VREF + 1 LSB, −2 × VREF + 1 LSB, −VREF + 1 LSB)
after adjusting for the bipolar zero code error.
Negative Full-Scale Error Match
This is the difference in negative full-scale error between any
two input channels.
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time
The track-and-hold amplifier returns to track mode after the
14th SCLK rising edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the
time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to
reach its final value, within ±½ LSB, after the end of a conversion.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at
the output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the
fundamental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is
dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitization
process. The more levels, the smaller the quantization noise.
Theoretically, the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio for an
ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB
Bipolar Zero Code Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and a
bipolar analog input. It is the deviation of the midscale transition
(all 1s to all 0s) from the ideal input voltage, that is, AGND − 1 LSB.
Bipolar Zero Code Error Match
This refers to the difference in bipolar zero code error between
any two input channels.
Positive Full-Scale Error
This applies when using twos complement output coding and
any of the bipolar analog input ranges. It is the deviation of the
last code transition (011 … 110) to (011 … 111) from the ideal
(that is, 4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF − 1 LSB) after
adjusting for the bipolar zero code error.
Positive Full-Scale Error Match
This is the difference in positive full-scale error between any
two input channels.
For a 13-bit converter, this is 80.02 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7329, it is defined as
THD (dB) = 20 log
V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 + V6 2
V1
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3,
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the
sixth harmonics.
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output
spectrum (up to fS/2, excluding dc) to the rms value of
the fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is
determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, the
largest harmonic could be a noise peak.

Data Sheet
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between any two channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale,
100 kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels and
determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the
selected channel with a 50 kHz signal. Figure 14 shows the
worst case across all eight channels for the AD7329. The analog
input range is programmed to be ±2.5 V on the selected channel
and ±10 V on all other channels.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms
are those for which neither m nor n are equal to 0. For example,
the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), whereas
the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb),
and (fa − 2fb).
The AD7329 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves, whereas the third-order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is
per the THD specification, where it is the ratio of the rms sum
of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of
the sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels.
Power Supply Rejection (PSR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but
not the linearity of the converter. Power supply rejection is the
maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a
change in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the
Typical Performance Characteristics section).
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at
full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 100 mV sine wave
applied to the common-mode voltage of the VIN+ and VIN−
frequency, fS, as
CMRR (dB) = 10 log (Pf/PfS)
where Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output, and PfS
is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output (see Figure 17).

AD7329
THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7329 is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign, bipolar input,
serial ADC. The AD7329 can accept bipolar input ranges that
include ±10 V, ±5 V, and ±2.5 V; it can also accept a 0 V to +10 V
unipolar input range. A different analog input range can be
programmed on each analog input channel via the on-chip
registers. The AD7329 has a high speed serial interface that
can operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.
The AD7329 requires VDD and VSS dual supplies for the high
voltage analog input structures. These supplies must be equal to
or greater than the analog input range. See Table 6 for the
requirements of these supplies for each analog input range. The
AD7329 requires a low voltage 2.7 V to 5.25 V VCC supply to
power the ADC core.

The AD7329 also features power-down options to allow power
savings between conversions. The power-down modes are
selected by programming the on-chip control register as

Guaranteed performance for VDD = 12 V to 16.5 V and VSS = −12 V to −16.5 V.
The performance specifications are guaranteed for VDD = 12 V
to 16.5 V and VSS = −12 V to −16.5 V. With VDD and VSS supplies
outside this range, the AD7329 is fully functional but performance
is not guaranteed. When the AD7329 is configured with the
minimum VDD and VSS supplies for a chosen analog input range,
the throughput rate should be decreased from the maximum
throughput range (see the Typical Performance Characteristics
section). Figure 18 and Figure 19 show the change in INL and
DNL as the VDD and VSS voltages are varied. When operating at
the maximum throughput rate, as the VDD and VSS supply voltages
are reduced, the INL and DNL error increases. However, as the
throughput rate is reduced with the minimum VDD and VSS
supplies, the INL and DNL error is reduced.
Figure 23 shows the change in THD as the VDD and VSS supplies
are reduced. At the maximum throughput rate, the THD degrades
significantly as VDD and VSS are reduced. It is therefore necessary to
reduce the throughput rate when using minimum VDD and VSS
supplies so that there is less degradation of THD and the specified
performance can be maintained. The degradation is due to an
increase in the on resistance of the input multiplexer when the
VDD and VSS supplies are reduced.
The AD7329 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter built around two capacitive DACs. Figure 24 and
Figure 25 show simplified schematics of the ADC in singleended mode during the acquisition and conversion phases,
respectively. Figure 26 and Figure 27 show simplified
schematics of the ADC in differential mode during acquisition
and conversion phases, respectively. In both examples, the
MUXOUT+ pin is connected to the ADCIN+ pin, and the
MUXOUT− pin is connected to the ADCIN− pin. The ADC is
composed of control logic, a SAR, and capacitive DACs. In
Figure 24 (the acquisition phase), SW2 is closed and SW1 is in
Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition, and
the sampling capacitor array acquires the signal on the input.

The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The
AD7329 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. However, the AD7329
can also work with an external reference. On power-up, the
external reference operation is the default option. If the internal
reference is the preferred option, the user must write to the
reference bit in the control register to select the internal
reference operation.
Figure 24. ADC Configuration During Acquisition Phase, Single-Ended Mode
When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 25), SW2 opens and
SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become
unbalanced. The control logic and the charge redistribution
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from
the capacitive DAC to bring the comparator back into a balanced
condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the conversion
is complete. The control logic generates the ADC output code.

The analog inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs,
four true differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs, or
seven pseudo differential inputs. Selection can be made by programming the mode bits, Mode 0 and Mode 1, in the control register.

Figure 26 shows the differential configuration during the

SW1 and SW2 move to Position B (see Figure 27). The output
impedances of the source driving the VIN+ and VIN− pins must
match; otherwise, the two inputs have different settling times,
resulting in errors.

OUTPUT CODING
The AD7329 default output coding is set to twos complement.
The output coding is controlled by the coding bit in the control
register. To change the output coding to straight binary coding,
the coding bit in the control register must be set. When
operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each
channel in the sequence is the value written to the coding bit
during the last write to the control register.
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
The designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB
values (that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size is
dependent on the analog input range selected.

ANALOG INPUT STRUCTURE
The analog inputs of the AD7329 can be configured as singleended, true differential, or pseudo differential via the control
register mode bits, as shown in Table 12. The AD7329 can accept
true bipolar input signals. On power-up, the analog inputs operate
as eight single-ended analog input channels. If true differential
or pseudo differential is required, a write to the control register
is necessary after power-up to change this configuration.
Figure 30 shows the equivalent analog input circuit of the
AD7329 in single-ended mode. Figure 31 shows the equivalent
analog input structure in differential mode. The two diodes
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs.

For the AD7329, the value of R includes the on resistance of the

The AD7329 enters track mode on the 14th SCLK rising edge.
When the AD7329 is run at a throughput rate of 1 MSPS with
a 20 MHz SCLK signal, the ADC has approximately 1.5 SCLK
periods plus t8 and the quiet time, tQUIET, to acquire the analog
input signal. The ADC goes back into hold mode on the CS
falling edge.

Care should be taken to ensure that the analog input does not
exceed the VDD and VSS supply rails by more than 300 mV.
Exceeding this value causes the diodes to become forward
biased and to start conducting into either the VDD supply rail or
the VSS supply rail. These diodes can conduct up to 10 mA
without causing irreversible damage to the part.
In Figure 30 and Figure 31, Capacitor C1 is typically 4 pF and
can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance. Resistor R1 is a
lumped component made up of the on resistance of the input
multiplexer and the track-and-hold switch. Capacitor C2 is the
sampling capacitor; its capacitance varies depending on the
analog input range selected (see the Specifications section).
TRACK-AND-HOLD SECTION
The current required to drive the ADC is extremely small when
using the external op amp between the MUXOUT and ADCIN
pins. This is due to the high input impedance of the op amp
placed between the MUXOUT and ADCIN pins. This can be seen
in Figure 32, where the current required to drive the AD7329
input is
