AD7631
The AD7631 is an 18-bit, charge redistribution, successive
approximation register (SAR), architecture analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) fabricated on Analog Devices, Inc.’s iCMOS
high voltage process. The device is configured through hardware
or via a dedicated write-only serial configuration port for input
range and operating mode. The AD7631 contains a high speed
18-bit sampling ADC, an internal conversion clock, an internal
reference (and buffer), error correction circuits, and both serial
and parallel system interface ports. A falling edge on CNVST
samples the fully differential analog inputs on IN+ and IN−.
The AD7631 features four different analog input ranges. Power is
scaled linearly with throughput. Operation is specified from
−40°C to +85°C.

In 18-bit parallel mode, this output is used as Bit 0 of the parallel port data output bus, and the data
coding is straight binary. In all other modes, this pin allows the choice of straight binary or twos
complement.
When OB/2C = high, the digital output is straight binary.
When OB/2C = low, the MSB is inverted resulting in a twos complement output from its internal
shift register.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power Ground. Ground reference point for digital outputs. Should
be connected to the system digital ground ideally at the same potential as AGND and DGND.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, this pin is Bit 1 of the parallel port data output bus. In all other modes, this
input pin controls the form in which data is output as shown in Table 7.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, this pin is Bit 2 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 1 or 2, this input pin controls the form in which data is output as shown in Table 7.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 3 of the parallel port data output bus.
This pin is always an output, regardless of the interface mode.

Description
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, these pins are Bit 4 and Bit 5 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, serial data clock division selection. When using serial master read after convert
mode (EXT/INT = low, RDC/SDIN = low), these inputs can be used to slow down the internally generated
serial clock that clocks the data output. In other serial modes, these pins are high impedance outputs.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 6 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data Clock Source Select. In serial mode, this input is used to select the
internally generated (master) or the external (slave) serial data clock for the AD7631 output data.
When EXT/INT = low (master mode), the internal serial data clock is selected on SDCLK output.
When EXT/INT = high (slave mode), the output data is synchronized to an external clock signal (gated by CS)
connected to the SDCLK input.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 7 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data Invert Sync Select. In serial master mode (MODE[1:0] = 3,
EXT/INT = low), this input is used to select the active state of the SYNC signal.
When INVSYNC = low, SYNC is active high.
When INVSYNC = high, SYNC is active low.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 8 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Invert SDCLK/SCCLK Select. This input is used to invert both SDCLK and SCCLK.
When INVSCLK = low, the rising edge of SDCLK/SCCLK are used.
When INVSCLK = high, the falling edge of SDCLK/SCCLK are used.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 9 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data Read During Convert. In serial master mode (MODE[1:0] = 3,
EXT/INT = low), RDC is used to select the read mode. See the Master Serial Interface section.
When RDC = low, the current result is read after conversion. Note the maximum throughput is
not attainable in this mode.
When RDC = high, the previous conversion result is read during the current conversion.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data In. In serial slave mode (MODE[1:0] = 3, EXT/INT = high), SDIN can
be used as a data input to daisy-chain the conversion results from two or more ADCs onto a single
SDOUT line. The digital data level on SDIN is output on SDOUT with a delay of 16 SDCLK periods after
the initiation of the read sequence.
Input/Output Interface Digital Power. Nominally at the same supply as the supply of the host
interface 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V and decoupled with 10 μF and 100 nF capacitors.
Digital Power. Nominally at 4.75 V to 5.25 V and decoupled with 10 μF and 100 nF capacitors. Can
be supplied from AVDD.
Digital Power Ground. Ground reference point for digital outputs. Should be connected to system
digital ground ideally at the same potential as AGND and OGND.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 10 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data Output. In all serial modes, this pin is used as the serial data output
synchronized to SDCLK. Conversion results are stored in an on-chip register. The AD7631 provides
the conversion result, MSB first, from its internal shift register. The data format is determined by
the logic level of OB/2C.
When EXT/INT = low (master mode), SDOUT is valid on both edges of SDCLK.
When EXT/INT = high (slave mode):
When INVSCLK = low, SDOUT is updated on SDCLK rising edge.
When INVSCLK = high, SDOUT is updated on SDCLK falling edge.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 11 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data Clock. In all serial modes, this pin is used as the serial data clock
input or output, dependent on the logic state of the EXT/INT pin. The active edge where the data
SDOUT is updated depends on the logic state of the INVSCLK pin.

When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 13 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Data Read Error. In serial slave mode (MODE[1:0] = 3, EXT/INT = high),
this output is used as an incomplete data read error flag. If a data read is started and not completed when
the current conversion is completed, the current data is lost and RDERROR is pulsed high.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 14 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Configuration Hardware/Software Select. In serial mode, this input is
used to configure the AD7631 by hardware or software. See the Hardware Configuration section and
Software Configuration section.
When HW/SW = low, the AD7631 is configured through software using the serial configuration register.
When HW/SW = high, the AD7631 is configured through dedicated hardware input pins.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 15 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Configuration Data Input. In serial software configuration mode (HW/SW =
low), this input is used to serially write in, MSB first, the configuration data into the serial configuration
register. The data on this input is latched with SCCLK. See the Software Configuration section.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 16 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Configuration Clock. In serial software configuration mode (HW/SW = low)
this input is used to clock in the data on SCIN. The active edge where the data SCIN is updated
depends on the logic state of the INVSCLK pin. See the Software Configuration section.
When MODE[1:0] = 0, 1, or 2, this output is used as Bit 17 of the parallel port data output bus.
When MODE[1:0] = 3, Serial Configuration Chip Select. In serial software configuration mode
(HW/SW = low), this input enables the serial configuration port. See the Software Configuration section.
Busy Output. Transitions high when a conversion is started and remains high until the conversion is
complete and the data is latched into the on-chip shift register. The falling edge of BUSY can be used
as a data-ready clock signal. Note that in master read after convert mode (MODE[1:0] = 3, EXT/INT = low,
RDC = low) the busy time changes according to Table 4.

Chip Select. When CS and RD are both low, the interface parallel or serial output bus is enabled. CS
is also used to gate the external clock in slave serial mode (not used for serial configurable port).
Reset Input. When high, reset the AD7631. Current conversion, if any, is aborted. The falling edge of
RESET resets the data outputs to all zeros (with OB/2C = high) and clears the configuration register.
See the Digital Interface section. If not used, this pin can be tied to OGND.
Power-Down Input. When PD = high, power down the ADC. Power consumption is reduced and
conversions are inhibited after the current one is completed. The digital interface remains active
during power down.
Conversion Start. A falling edge on CNVST puts the internal sample-and-hold into the hold state and
initiates a conversion.

this pin outputs a voltage proportional to the temperature of the AD7631. See the Voltage Reference
Input/Output section.
Reference Buffer Input. When using an external reference with the internal reference buffer (PDBUF = low,
PDREF = high), applying 2.5 V on this pin produces 5 V on the REF pin. See the Voltage Reference
Input/Output section.
Internal Reference Power-Down Input.
When low, the internal reference is enabled.
When high, the internal reference is powered down, and an external reference must be used.
Internal Reference Buffer Power-Down Input.

TERMINOLOGY
Least Significant Bit (LSB)
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The least significant bit, or LSB, is the smallest increment that
can be represented by a converter. For a fully differential input
ADC with N bits of resolution, the LSB expressed in volts is
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and is
expressed in decibels.
LSB (V )
VINp-p
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (SINAD)
2N
Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL)
Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code
from a line drawn from negative full-scale through positive fullscale. The point used as negative full-scale occurs a ½ LSB
before the first code transition. Positive full-scale is defined as a
level 1½ LSBs beyond the last code transition. The deviation is
measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line.
Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL)
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It
is often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing
codes are guaranteed.
Bipolar Zero Error
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of
the input signal and the peak spurious signal.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave
input. It is related to SINAD and is expressed in bits by
ENOB = [(SINADdB − 1.76)/6.02]
Aperture Delay
The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (0 V)
and the actual voltage producing the midscale output code.
Aperture delay is a measure of the acquisition performance
measured from the falling edge of the CNVST input to when
the input signal is held for a conversion.
Unipolar Offset Error
Transient Response
The first transition should occur at a level ½ LSB above analog
ground. The unipolar offset error is the deviation of the actual
transition from that point.
The time required for the AD7631 to achieve its rated accuracy
after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.
Full-Scale Error
The reference voltage temperature coefficient is derived from
the typical shift of output voltage at 25°C on a sample of parts at
the maximum and minimum reference output voltage (VREF)
measured at TMIN, T (25°C), and TMAX. It is expressed in ppm/°C as
Reference Voltage Temperature Coefficient
The last transition (from 111…10 to 111…11 in straight binary
format) should occur for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the
nominal full scale. The full-scale error is the deviation in LSB
(or % of full-scale range) of the actual level of the last transition
from the ideal level and includes the effect of the offset error.
Closely related is the gain error (also in LSB or % of full-scale
range), which does not include the effects of the offset error.
where:
Dynamic Range
VREF (Max) = maximum VREF at TMIN, T (25°C), or TMAX.
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full scale to
the rms noise measured for an input typically at −60 dB. The
value for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
VREF (Min) = minimum VREF at TMIN, T (25°C), or TMAX.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels.
TCVREF ( ppm/C )
VREF ( Max ) – VREF ( Min )
VREF ( 25C ) ( TMAX – TMIN )
VREF (25°C) = VREF at 25°C.
TMAX = +85°C.
TMIN = –40°C.

OVERVIEW
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7631 is a very fast, low power, precise, 18-bit ADC
using successive approximation, capacitive digital-to-analog
(CDAC) architecture.
The AD7631 is a successive approximation ADC based on a
charge redistribution DAC. Figure 25 shows the simplified
schematic of the ADC. The CDAC consists of two identical
arrays of 18 binary weighted capacitors, which are connected
to the two comparator inputs.
The AD7631 can be configured at any time for one of four input
ranges with inputs in parallel and serial hardware modes or by a
dedicated write-only, SPI-compatible interface via a configuration
register in serial software mode. The AD7631 uses Analog
Devices’ patented iCMOS high voltage process to accommodate
0 V to +5 V (10 V p-p), 0 V to +10 V (20 V p-p), ±5 V (20 V p-p),
and ±10 V (40 V p-p) input ranges on the fully differential IN+
and IN− inputs without the use of conventional thin films. Only
one acquisition cycle, t8, is required for the inputs to latch to
the correct configuration. Resetting or power cycling is not
required for reconfiguring the ADC.
The AD7631 is capable of converting 250,000 samples per
second (250 kSPS) and power consumption scales linearly with
throughput, making it useful for battery-powered systems.
The AD7631 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold,
successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple, multiplexed channel
applications.
For unipolar input ranges, the AD7631 typically requires three
supplies: VCC, AVDD (which can supply DVDD), and OVDD
(which can be interfaced to either 5 V, 3.3 V, or 2.5 V digital logic).
For bipolar input ranges, the AD7631 requires the use of the
additional VEE supply.
During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the
comparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW−.
All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.
Therefore, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors
and acquire the analog signal on IN+ and IN− inputs. A
conversion phase is initiated once the acquisition phase is
complete and the CNVST input goes low. When the conversion
phase begins, SW+ and SW− are opened first. The two capacitor
arrays are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the
REFGND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the
inputs (IN+ and IN−) captured at the end of the acquisition
phase is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator
to become unbalanced. By switching each element of the
capacitor array between REFGND and REF, the comparator
input varies by binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4
through VREF/262,144). The control logic toggles these switches,
starting with the MSB first, to bring the comparator back into a
balanced condition.
After the completion of this process, the control logic generates
the ADC output code and brings the BUSY output low.
The device is housed in a Pb-free, 48-lead LQFP or a tiny,
48-lead, 7 mm × 7 mm LFCSP that combines space savings with
flexibility. In addition, the AD7631 can be configured as either a
parallel or serial SPI-compatible interface.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Using the D0/OB/2C digital input or via the configuration
register, except in 18-bit parallel interface mode, the AD7631
offers two output codings: straight binary and twos
complement. See Figure 26 and Table 8 for the ideal transfer
characteristic and digital output codes for the different analog
input ranges, VIN. Note that when using the configuration
register, the D0/OB/2C input is a don’t care and should be tied
to either high or low.
Figure 27 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7631
using the internal reference, serial data interface, and serial
configuration port. Different circuitry from that shown in
Figure 27 is optional and is discussed in the following sections.

In parallel mode and serial hardware mode, the input range is
selected by using the BIPOLAR (bipolar) and TEN (10 V range)
inputs. See Table 6 for pin details and the Hardware
Configuration section and the Software Configuration section for
programming the mode selection with either pins or the
configuration register. Note that when using the configuration
register, the BIPOLAR and TEN inputs are don’t cares and
should be tied high or low.

For multichannel, multiplexed applications, the driver
amplifier and the AD7631 analog input circuit must be
able to settle for a full-scale step of the capacitor array
at a 18-bit level (0.0004%). For the amplifier, settling at
0.1% to 0.01% is more commonly specified. This differs
significantly from the settling time at a 18-bit level and
should be verified prior to driver selection. The AD8021 op
amp combines ultralow noise with high gain bandwidth and
meets this settling time requirement even when used with
gains of up to 13.

The noise generated by the driver amplifier needs to be
kept as low as possible to preserve the SNR and transition
noise performance of the AD7631. The noise coming from
the driver is filtered by the external, 1-pole, low-pass filter,
as shown in Figure 27. The SNR degradation due to the
amplifier is

This analog input structure of the AD7631 is a true differential
structure allowing the sampling of the differential signal between
IN+ and IN−. By using this differential input, small signals
common to both inputs are rejected, as shown in Figure 29,
which represents the typical CMRR over frequency.

THD (dB)
The four diodes, D1 to D4, provide ESD protection for the analog
inputs, IN+ and IN−. Care must be taken to ensure that the analog
input signal never exceeds the supply rails by more than 0.3 V,
because this causes the diodes to become forward-biased and to
start conducting current. These diodes can handle a forwardbiased current of 120 mA maximum. For instance, these conditions
could eventually occur when the input buffer’s U1 supplies are
different from AVDD, VCC, and VEE. In such a case, an input
buffer with a short-circuit current limitation can be used to protect
the part although most op amps’ short-circuit current is
