for 3-wire operation. Gain settings, signal polarity and update
rate selection can be configured in software using the input
serial port. The part contains self-calibration and system calibration options to eliminate gain and offset errors on the part itself
or in the system.
CMOS construction ensures very low power dissipation, and the
power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to
20 μW typical. This part is available in a 20-lead wide body (0.3
inch) small outline (SOIC) package and a low profile 20-lead TSSOP.
The AD7707 operates from a single 2.7 V to 3.3 V or 4.75 V to
5.25 V supply. The AD7707 features two low level pseudo differential analog input channels, one high level input channel and a
differential reference input. Input signal ranges of 0 mV to 20 mV
through 0 V to 2.5 V can be accommodated on both low level input
channels when operating with a VDD of 5 V and a reference of
2.5 V. They can also handle bipolar input signal ranges of ±20 mV
through ±2.5 V, which are referenced to the LCOM input. The
AD7707, with a 3 V supply and a 1.225 V reference, can handle
unipolar input signal ranges of 0 mV to 10 mV through 0 V to
1.225 V. Its bipolar input signal ranges are ±10 mV through ±1.225 V.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The high level input channel can accept input signal ranges of ±10 V,
±5 V, 0 V to 10 V and 0 V to 5 V. The AD7707 thus performs all
signal conditioning and conversion for a 3-channel system.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7707 is a complete analog front end for low frequency
measurement applications. This 3-channel device can accept
either low level input signals directly from a transducer or high
level (±10 V) signals and produce a serial digital output. It employs
a Σ-Δ conversion technique to realize up to 16 bits of no missing
codes performance. The selected input signal is applied to a
proprietary programmable gain front end based around an analog
modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-chip
digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed via an on-chip control register allowing adjustment
of the filter cutoff and output update rate.

The AD7707 consumes less than 1 mW at 3 V supplies and
1 MHz master clock, making it ideal for use in low power
systems. Standby current is less than 8 μA.
On-chip thin-film resistors allow ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V to 10 V,
and 0 V to 5 V high level input signals to be directly accommodated on the analog inputs without requiring split supplies
or charge-pumps.
The low level input channels allow the AD7707 to accept
input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer
removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning.
The part features excellent static performance specifications
with 16 bits, no missing codes, ±0.003% accuracy, and low
rms noise. Endpoint errors and the effects of temperature
drift are eliminated by on-chip calibration options, which
remove zero-scale and full-scale errors.

Temperature range as follows: B Version, −40°C to +85°C.
These numbers are established from characterization or design at initial product release.
A calibration is effectively a conversion so these errors are of the order of the conversion noise shown in Table 7 and Table 9 for the low level input channels AIN1 and
AIN2. This applies after calibration at the temperature of interest.
4
Recalibration at any temperature removes these drift errors.
5
Positive full-scale error includes zero-scale errors (unipolar offset error or bipolar zero error) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
6
Full-scale drift includes zero-scale drift (unipolar offset drift or bipolar zero drift) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
7
Gain error does not include zero-scale errors. It is calculated as full-scale error—unipolar offset error for unipolar ranges and full-scale error—bipolar zero error for
bipolar ranges.
8
Gain error drift does not include unipolar offset drift/bipolar zero drift. It is effectively the drift of the part if POMZzero-scale calibrations were performed.
9
Error is removed following a system calibration.
10
This common-mode voltage range is allowed provided that the input voltage on analog inputs does not go more positive than AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative
than AGND − 100 mV. Parts are functional with voltages down to AGND − 200 mV, but with increased leakage at high temperature.
11
The analog input voltage range on AIN(+) is given here with respect to the voltage on LCOM on the low level input channels (AIN1 and AIN2) and is given with
respect to the HCOM input on the high level input channel, AIN3. The absolute voltage on the low level analog inputs should not go more positive than AVDD +
100 mV, or go more negative than GND − 100 mV for specified performance. Input voltages of AGND − 200 mV can be accommodated, but with increased leakage at
high temperature.
12
VREF = REF IN(+) − REF IN(−).
13
These logic output levels apply to the MCLK OUT only when it is loaded with one CMOS load.
14
Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance.
15
After calibration, if the analog input exceeds positive full scale, the converter outputs all 1s. If the analog input is less than negative full scale, the device outputs all 0s.
16
These calibration and span limits apply provided that the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed AVDD + 30 mV or go more negative than AGND −
mV. The offset calibration limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point.
17
When using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the DVDD current and power dissipation varies depending on the
crystal or resonator type (see the Clocking and Oscillator Circuit section).
18
Measured at dc and applies in the selected pass band. PSRR at 50 Hz exceeds 120 dB with filter notches of 25 Hz or 50 Hz. PSRR at 60 Hz exceeds 120 dB with filter
notches of 20 Hz or 60 Hz.
19
PSRR depends on both gain and AVDD. See Table 2 and Table 3.
20
If the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 μA typical at 5 V and 75 μA typical at 3 V. When using a crystal or
ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the internal oscillator continues to run in standby mode and the power dissipation depends
on the crystal or resonator type (see the Standby Mode section).

Conditions/Comments
Master clock frequency: crystal oscillator or externally supplied for specified performance
1
Sample tested at +25°C to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of DVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.
See Figure 20 and Figure 21.
3
fCLKIN duty cycle range is 45% to 55%. fCLKIN must be supplied whenever the AD7707 is not in standby mode. If no clock is present in this case, the device can draw
higher current than specified and possibly become uncalibrated.
4
The AD7707 is production tested with fCLKIN at 2.4576 MHz (1 MHz for some IDD tests). It is guaranteed by characterization to operate at 400 kHz.
5
These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
6
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then
extrapolated back to remove effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus
relinquish times of the part and as such are independent of external bus loading capacitances.
7 DRDY
returns high after the first read from the device after an output update. The same data can be read again, if required, while DRDY is high, although care should
be taken that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update.

Description
Serial Clock, Schmitt-Triggered Logic Input. An external serial clock is applied to this input to access serial data
from the AD7707. This serial clock can be a continuous clock with all data transmitted in a continuous train of
pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted to the AD7707 in
smaller batches of data.
Master Clock Signal for the Device. This can be provided in the form of a crystal/resonator or external clock. A
crystal/resonator can be tied across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins. Alternatively, the MCLK IN pin can be
driven with a CMOS-compatible clock and MCLK OUT left unconnected. The part can be operated with clock
frequencies in the range of 500 kHz to 5 MHz.
When the master clock for the device is a crystal/resonator, the crystal/resonator is connected between MCLK IN
and MCLK OUT. If an external clock is applied to MCLK IN, MCLK OUT provides an inverted clock signal. This clock
can be used to provide a clock source for external circuitry and is capable of driving one CMOS load. If the user
does not require it, this MCLK OUT can be turned off via the CLKDIS bit of the clock register. This ensures that the
part is not wasting unnecessary power driving capacitive loads on MCLK OUT.
Chip Select. This pin is an active low logic input used to select the AD7707. With this input hard-wired low, the
AD7707 can operate in its 3-wire interface mode with SCLK, DIN, and DOUT used to interface to the device. CS
can be used to select the device in systems with more than one device on the serial bus or as a frame
synchronization signal in communicating with the AD7707.
Logic Input. Active low input that resets the control logic, interface logic, calibration coefficients, digital filter, and
analog modulator of the part to power-on status.
Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V Operation.
Low Level Analog Input Channel 1. This is used as a pseudo differential input with respect to LOCOM.
Common Input for Low Level Input Channels. Analog inputs on AIN1 and AIN2 must be referenced to this input.
Low Level Analog Input Channel 2. This is used as a pseudo differential input with respect to LOCOM.
Single-Ended High Level Analog Input Channel with respect to HICOM.
Common Input for )igh -evel *nput $hannel. Analog input on AIN3 must be referenced to this input.
VBIAS is used to level shift the high level input channel signal. This signal is used to ensure that the AIN(+) and
AIN(−) signals seen by the internal modulator are within its common-mode range. VBIAS is normally connected
to 2.5 V when AVDD = 5 V and 1.225 V when AVDD = 3 V.
Reference Input. Positive input of the differential reference input to the AD7707. The reference input is
differential with the provision that REF IN(+) must be greater than REF IN(−). REF IN(+) can lie anywhere between
AVDD and AGND.
Reference Input. Negative input of the differential reference input to the AD7707. The REF IN(−) can lie anywhere
between AVDD and AGND provided that REF IN(+) is greater than REF IN(−).
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for the AD7707’s internal analog circuitry.
Logic Output. A logic low on this output indicates that a new output word is available from the AD7707 data
register. The DRDY pin returns high upon completion of a read operation of a full output word. If no data read has
taken place between output updates, the DRDY line returns high for 500 × tCLK IN cycles prior to the next output
update. While DRDY is high, a read operation should neither be attempted nor in progress to avoid reading from
the data register as it is being updated. The DRDY line returns low again when the update has taken place. DRDY
is also used to indicate when the AD7707 has completed its on-chip calibration sequence.
Serial Data Output with Serial Data Being Read from the Output Shift Register on the Part. This output shift
register can contain information from the setup register, communications register, clock register, or data register,
depending on the register selection bits of the communications register.

OUTPUT NOISE
OUTPUT NOISE FOR LOW LEVEL INPUT
CHANNELS (5 V OPERATION)
Table 7 shows the AD7707 output rms noise and peak-to-peak
resolution in unbuffered mode for the selectable notch and
−3 dB frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1, and FS2
of the clock register. The numbers given are for the bipolar
input ranges with a VREF of 2.5 V and AVDD = 5 V. These
numbers are typical and are generated at an analog input voltage of
0 V. Table 8 shows the rms noise and peak-to-peak resolution
when operating in buffered mode. It is important to note that
the peak-to-peak numbers represent the resolution for which
there is no code flicker. They are not calculated based on rms
noise but on peak-to-peak noise. The numbers given are for
bipolar input ranges with a VREF of 2.5 V. These numbers are
typical and are rounded to the nearest LSB. The numbers apply
for the CLKDIV bit of the clock register set to 0. The output
noise comes from two sources. The first is the electrical noise in
the semiconductor devices (device noise) used in the
implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog
input is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise is
added. The device noise is at a low level and is independent of
frequency. The quantization noise starts at an even lower level
but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to become the
dominant noise source. The numbers in Table 7 and Table 8are
given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges, the
rms noise numbers are the same as the bipolar range but the
peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal range,
which effectively means losing one bit of resolution.

AD7707
OUTPUT NOISE FOR HIGH LEVEL INPUT CHANNEL
AIN3 (5 V OPERATION)
Table 11 shows the AD7707 output rms noise and peak-to-peak
resolution in unbuffered mode for the selectable notch and −3 dB
frequencies for the part, as selected by FS0, FS1, and FS2 of the
clock register. The numbers given are for the ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 to
5 V and 0 V to 10 V ranges with a VREF of 2.5 V, VBIAS = 2.5 V,
HICOM = AGND, and AVDD = 5 V. These numbers are typical
and are generated at an analog input voltage of 0 V. Table 12
meanwhile shows the output rms noise and peak-to-peak
resolution in buffered mode. It is important to note that these
numbers represent the resolution for which there is no code
flicker. They are not calculated based on rms noise, but on
peak-to-peak noise. Operating the high level channel with a
gain of 2 in bipolar mode gives an operating range of ±10 V.
Operating at a gain of 2 in unipolar mode gives a range of 0 V
to +10 V. Operating the high level channel with a gain of 4 in
bipolar mode gives the ±5 V operating range. Operating at a gain
of 4 in unipolar mode gives an operating range of 0 V to 5 V.
Noise for all input ranges is shown in Output Noise For High Level
Input Channel, AIN3 section. The output noise comes from two
sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconductor
devices (device noise) used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted into the digital
domain, quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low
level and is independent of frequency. The quantization noise
starts at an even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing
frequency to become the dominant noise source. The numbers
in Table 11 and Table 12 are given for the bipolar input ranges.
For the unipolar ranges the rms noise numbers are the same as
the bipolar range, but the peak-to-peak resolution is now based
on half the signal range, which effectively means losing 1 bit of
resolution.

AD7707
OUTPUT NOISE FOR HIGH LEVEL INPUT CHANNEL
AIN3 (3 V OPERATION)
Table 13 shows the AD7707 output rms noise and peak-to-peak
resolution for the selectable notch and −3 dB frequencies for the
part, as selected by FS0, FS1, and FS2 of the clock register. The
numbers given are for the ±5 V, 0 V to 5 V and 0 V to 10 V
ranges with a VREF of 1.225 V, VBIAS = 1.225 V, HICOM =
AGND, and AVDD = 3 V. These numbers are typical and are
generated at an analog input voltage of 0 V for unbuffered mode
of operation. The ±5 V, 0 V to 5 V, and 0 V to 10 V operating
ranges are only achievable in unbuffered mode when operating
at 3 V due to common-mode limitations on the input amplifier.
It is important to note that these numbers represent the
resolution for which there are no code flicker. They are not
calculated based on rms noise but on peak-to-peak noise.
Operating at a gain of 1 in unipolar mode provides a range of
0 V to +10 V. Operating the high level channel with a gain of 2
in bipolar mode provides a ±5 V operating range. Operating at
a gain of 2 in unipolar mode provides an operating range of 0 V
to 5 V. The output noise comes from two sources. The first is
the electrical noise in the semiconductor devices (device noise)
used in the implementation of the modulator. Secondly, when
the analog input is converted into the digital domain, quantization noise is added. The device noise is at a low level and is
independent of frequency. The quantization noise starts at an
even lower level but rises rapidly with increasing frequency to
become the dominant noise source. The numbers in Table 13
are given for the bipolar input ranges. For the unipolar ranges,
the rms noise numbers are the same as the bipolar range, but
the peak-to-peak resolution is now based on half the signal
range, which effectively means losing 1 bit of resolution.

AD7707
ON-CHIP REGISTERS
The AD7707 contains eight on-chip registers that can be
accessed via the serial port of the part. The first of these is a
communications register that controls the channel selection,
decides whether the next operation is a read or write operation
and selects which register the next read or write operation
accesses. All communications to the part must start with a write
operation 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 to the part is a read 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 part
starts with a write operation to the communications register
followed by a write to the selected register. A read operation
from any other register on the part (including the communications
register itself and the data register) starts with a write operation
to the communications register followed by a read operation
from the selected register. The communications register also
controls the standby mode and channel selection
and the DRDY
status is available by reading from the communications register.
The second register is a setup register that determines calibration
mode, gain setting, bipolar/unipolar operation, and buffered
mode. The third register is the clock register and contains the
filter selection bits and clock control bits. The fourth register is
the data register from which the output data from the part is
accessed. The final registers are the calibration registers, which
store channel calibration data. The registers are described in
more detail in the following sections.
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0,
0, 0)
The communications register is an 8-bit register from which
data can either be read or to which data can be written. All
communications to the part must start with a write operation to
the communications register. The data written to the communications register determines whether the next operation is a
read or write operation and to which register this operation
takes place. When the subsequent read or write operation to the
selected register is complete, the interface returns to where it
expects a write operation to the communications register. This
is the default state of the interface, and on power-up or after a
RESET, the AD7707 is in this default state waiting for a write
operation to the communications register. In situations where
the interface sequence is lost, if a write operation of sufficient
duration (containing at least 32 serial clock cycles) takes place
with DIN high, the AD7707 returns to this default state. Table 14
outlines the bit designations for the communications register.

Description
For a write operation, a 0 must be written to this bit so that the write operation to the communications register actually takes place. If a
1 is written to this bit, the part does not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. The serial interface stays at this bit location
until a 0 is written to this bit. Once a 0 is written to this bit, the next seven bits are loaded to the communications register. For a read
operation, this bit provides the status of the DRDY flag from the part. The status of this bit is the same as the DRDY output pin.
Register selection bits. These three bits select to which one of eight on-chip registers the next read or write operation takes
place, as shown in Table 16, along with the register size. When the read or write operation to the selected register is complete,
the part waits for a write operation to the communications register. It does not remain in a state where it continues to access the
register.
Read/Write select. This bit selects whether the next operation is a read or write operation to the selected register. A 0 indicates a
write cycle for the next operation to the appropriate register, while a 1 indicates a read operation from the appropriate register.
Standby. Writing a 1 to this bit puts the part into its standby or power-down mode. In this mode, the part consumes only
8 μA of power supply current. The part retains its calibration coefficients and control word information when in standby. Writing
a 0 to this bit places the part in its normal operating mode. The serial interface on the AD7707 remains operational when the
part is in standby mode.
Channel select. These two bits select a channel for conversion or for access to the calibration coefficients as outlined in Table 17.
Three pairs of calibration registers on the part are used to store the calibration coefficients following a calibration on a channel. They are
shown in Table 17 for the AD7707 to indicate which channel combinations have independent calibration coefficients. With CH1
at Logic 1 and CH0 at a Logic 0, the part looks at the LOCOM input internally shorted to itself. This can be used as a test method
to evaluate the noise performance of the part with no external noise sources. In this mode, the LOCOM input should be
connected to an external voltage within the allowable common-mode range for the part.

Description
Operating mode selection bits.
Gain selection bits. These bits select the gain setting for the on-chip PGA, as outlined in Table 21.
Bipolar/unipolar operation. A 0 in this bit selects Bipolar operation. A 1 in this bit selects unipolar operation.
Buffer control. With this bit at 0, the on-chip buffer on the analog input is shorted out. With the buffer shorted out, the
current flowing in the AVDD line is reduced. When this bit is high, the on-chip buffer is in series with the analog input
allowing the input to handle higher source impedances.
Filter synchronization. When this bit is high, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic, and the calibration
control logic are held in a reset state, and the analog modulator is held in its reset state. When this bit goes low, the
modulator and filter start to process data and a valid word is available in 3 × 1/(output update rate), that is, the settling
time of the filter. This FSYNC bit does not affect the digital interface and does not reset the DRDY output if it is low.

Operating Mode
Normal mode: this is the normal mode of operation of the device whereby the device is performing normal conversions.
Self-calibration: this activates self-calibration on the channel selected by CH1 and CH0 of the communications register.
This is a one-step calibration sequence and, when complete, the part returns to normal mode with MD1 and MD0
returning to 0, 0. The DRDY output or bit goes high when calibration is initiated and returns low when this selfcalibration is complete and a new valid word is available in the data register. The zero-scale calibration is performed at
the selected gain on internally shorted (zeroed) inputs and the full-scale calibration is performed at the selected gain on
an internally-generated VREF/selected gain.
Zero-scale (ZS) system calibration: this activates zero-scale system calibration on the channel selected by CH1 and CH0
of the communications register. Calibration is performed at the selected gain on the input voltage provided at the

calibration. The DRDY output or bit goes high when calibration is initiated and returns low when this zero-scale
calibration is complete and a new valid word is available in the data register. At the end of the calibration, the part
returns to Oormal Node with MD1 and MD0 returning to 0, 0.
Full-scale (FS) system calibration: this activates full-scale system calibration on the selected input channel. Calibration is
performed at the selected gain on the input voltage provided at the analog input during this calibration sequence. This
input voltage should remain stable for the duration of the calibration. The DRDY output or bit goes high when
calibration is initiated and returns low when this full-scale calibration is complete and a new valid word is available in
the data register. At the end of the calibration, the part returns to normal mode with MD1 and MD0 returning to 0, 0.

Description
Zero. A zero must be written to these bits to ensure correct operation of the AD7707. Failure to do so may result in unspecified
operation of the device.
Master clock disable bit. A Logic 1 in this bit disables the master clock from appearing at the MCLK OUT pin. When disabled, the
MCLK OUT pin is forced low. This feature allows the user the flexibility of using the MCLK OUT as a clock source for other devices
in the system or of turning off the MCLK OUT as a power saving feature. When using an external master clock on the MCLK IN
pin, the AD7707 continues to have internal clocks and converts normally with the CLKDIS bit active. When using a crystal
oscillator or ceramic resonator across the MCLK IN and MCLK OUT pins, the AD7707 clock is stopped and no conversions take
place when the CLKDIS bit is active.
Clock divider bit. With this bit at a Logic 1, the clock frequency appearing at the MCLK IN pin is divided by two before being used
internally by the AD7707. For example, when this bit is set to 1, the user can operate with a 4.9152 MHz crystal between MCLK
IN and MCLK OUT, and internally the part operates with the specified 2.4576 MHz. With this bit at a Logic 0, the clock frequency
appearing at the MCLK IN pin is the frequency used internally by the part.
Clock bit. This bit should be set in accordance with the operating frequency of the AD7707. If the device has a master clock
frequency of 2.4576 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 4.9152 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), then this bit should be set to a 1. If the device has a master
clock frequency of 1 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 2 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), this bit should be set to a 0. This bit sets up the appropriate scaling
currents for a given operating frequency and also chooses (along with FS2, FS1 and FS0) the output update rate for the device. If
this bit is not set correctly for the master clock frequency of the device, then the AD7707 may not operate to specification.
Filter selection bits. Along with the CLK bit, FS2, FS1, and FS0 determine the output update rate, filter first notch, and −3 dB
frequency as outlined in Table 24. The on-chip digital filter provides a sinc3 (or Sinx/x3) filter response. Placing the first notch at
10 Hz places notches at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, giving better than 150 dB rejection at these frequencies. In association with the
gain selection, the filter cutoff also determines the output noise of the device. Changing the filter notch frequency, as well as the
selected gain, impacts resolution. Table 7 to Table 13 show the effect of filter notch frequency and gain on the output noise and
effective resolution of the part. The output data rate (or effective conversion time) for the device is equal to the frequency
selected for the first notch of the filter. For example, if the first notch of the filter is selected at 50 Hz, a new word is available at a
50 Hz output rate, or every 20 ms. If the first notch is at 500 Hz, a new word is available every 2 ms. A calibration should be
initiated when any of these bits are changed.
The settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is worst-case 4 × 1/(output data rate). For example, with the filter first
notch at 50 Hz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is 80 ms maximum. If the first notch is at 500 Hz, the
settling time is 8 ms maximum. This settling time can be reduced to 3 × 1/(output data rate) by synchronizing the step input
change to a reset of the digital filter. In other words, if the step input takes place with the FSYNC bit high, the settling time is 3 ×
1/(output data rate) from when the FSYNC bit returns low.
The −3 dB frequency is determined by the programmed first notch frequency according to the following relationship:
filter − 3 dB frequency = 0.262 × filter first notch frequency

Data Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 1)
The data register on the part is a 16-bit read-only register that
contains the most up-to-date conversion result from the AD7707.
If the communications register sets up the part for a write
operation to this register, a write operation must actually take
place to return the part to where it is expecting a write operation to
the communications register. However, the 16 bits of data
written to the part are ignored by the AD7707.
Test Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 0, 0); Power-On/Reset
Status: 0x00
The part contains a Uest Segister that is used when testing the
device. The user is advised not to change the status of any of the
bits in this register from the default (power-on or RESET) status
of all 0s because the part will be placed in one of its test modes
and will not operate correctly.
Zero-Scale Calibration Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 0);
Power-On/Reset Status: 0x1F4000
The AD7707 contains independent sets of zero-scale registers,
one for each of the input channels. Each of these registers is a
24-bit read/write register; 24 bits of data must be written; otherwise,
no data is transferred to the register. This register is used in
conjunction with its associated full-scale register to form a
register pair. These register pairs are associated with input
channel pairs as outlined in Table 17. Although the part is set
up to allow access to these registers over the digital interface,
the part itself no longer has access to the register coefficients to
correctly scale the output data. As a result, there is a possibility
that after accessing the calibration registers (either read or write
operation) the first output data read from the part may contain
incorrect data. In addition, a write to the calibration register
should not be attempted while a calibration is in progress. These
eventualities can be avoided by taking the FSYNC bit in the
setup register high before the calibration register operation and
taking it low after the operation is complete.

CALIBRATION SEQUENCES
The AD7707 contains a number of calibration options as
previously outlined. Table 25 summarizes the calibration types,
the operations involved, and the duration of the operations.
There are two methods of determining the end of calibration.
The first is to monitor when DRDY returns low at the end of
the sequence. DRDY not only indicates when the sequence is
complete, but also that the part has a valid new sample in its
data register. This valid new sample is the result of a normal
conversion, which follows the calibration sequence. The second
method of determining when calibration is complete is to
monitor the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup register. When
these bits return to 0 (0 following a calibration command), it
indicates that the calibration sequence is complete. This method
does not give any indication of there being a valid new result in
the data register. However, it gives an earlier indication than
DRDY that calibration is complete. The duration to when the
Mode Bits (MD1 and MD0) return to 00 represents the
duration of the calibration carried out). The sequence to when
DRDY goes low also includes a normal conversion and a
pipeline delay, tP, to correctly scale the results of this first
conversion. tP will never exceed 2000 × tCLKIN. The time for both
methods is given in the Table 25.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
modulator) converts the sampled signal into a digital pulse
train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. The
programmable gain function on the analog input is also
incorporated in this Σ-Δ modulator with the input sampling
frequency being modified to give the higher gains. A sinc3
digital low-pass filter processes the output of the Σ-Δ modulator
and updates the output register at a rate determined by the first
notch frequency of this filter. The output data can be read from
the serial port randomly or periodically at any rate up to the
output register update rate. The first notch of this digital filter
(and therefore its −3 dB frequency) can be programmed via the
clock register bits, FS0 to FS2. With a master clock frequency
of 2.4576 MHz, the programmable range for this first notch
frequency is from 10 Hz to 500 Hz, giving a programmable range
for the −3 dB frequency of 2.62 Hz to 131 Hz. With a master clock
frequency of 1 MHz, the programmable range for this first notch
frequency is from 4 Hz to 200 Hz, giving a programmable range for
the −3 dB frequency of 1.06 Hz to 52.4 Hz.
The AD7707 is a Σ-Δ ADC with on-chip digital filtering, intended
for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency
signals such as those in industrial control or process control
applications. It contains a Σ-Δ (or charge balancing) ADC, a
calibration microcontroller with on-chip static RAM, a clock
oscillator, a digital filter, and a bidirectional serial communications port. The part consumes only 320 μA of power supply
current, making it ideal for battery-powered or loop-powered
instruments. On-chip thin-film resistors allow ±10 V, ±5 V, 0 V
to 10 V, and 0 V to 5 V high level input signals to be directly
accommodated on the analog input without requiring split
supplies, dc-to-dc converters, or charge pumps. This part operates
with a supply voltage of 2.7 V to 3.3 V, or 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
The AD7707 contains two low level (AIN1 and AIN2) programmable-gain pseudo differential analog input channels and
one high level (AIN3) single-ended input channel. For the low
level input channels, the selectable gains are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
and 128, allowing the part to accept unipolar signals of between
0 mV to 20 mV and 0 V to 2.5 V, or bipolar signals in the range
from ±20 mV to ±2.5 V when the reference input voltage equals
2.5 V. With a reference voltage of 1.225 V, the input ranges are
from 0 mV to 10 mV to 0 V to 1.225 V in unipolar mode, and
from ±10 mV to ±1.225 V in bipolar mode. Note that the signals
are with respect to the LOCOM input.
The basic connection diagram for the AD7707 is shown in
Figure 12. An AD780 or REF192 precision 2.5 V reference
provides the reference source for the part. On the digital side,
the part is configured for 3-wire operation with CS tied to
DGND. A quartz crystal or ceramic resonator provides the master
clock source for the part. In most cases, it is necessary to
connect capacitors on the crystal or resonator to ensure that it
does not oscillate at overtones of its fundamental operating
frequency. The values of capacitors can vary, depending on the
manufacturer’s specifications. A similar circuit is applicable for
operation with 3 V supplies; in this case, a 1.225 V reference
(AD1580) should be used for specified performance.
The high level input channel can directly accept input signals
of ±10 V with respect to HICOM when operating with 5 V
supplies and a reference of 2.5 V. With 3 V supplies, ±5 V can
be accommodated on the AIN3 input.
The input signal to the analog input is continuously sampled at
a rate determined by the frequency of the master clock, MCLK
IN, and the selected gain. A charge-balancing ADC (Σ-Δ

AD7707
ANALOG INPUT
The AD7707 contains two low level pseudo differential analog
input channels, AIN1 and AIN2. These input pairs provide
programmable-gain, differential input channels that can handle
either unipolar or pseudo bipolar input signals. It should be
noted that the bipolar input signals are referenced to the LOCOM
input. The AD7707 also has a high level analog input channel
AIN3, which is referenced to HICOM. Figure 13 shows the input
structure on the high level input channel.
In normal 5 V operation, VBIAS is normally connected to 2.5 V
and HICOM is connected to AGND. This arrangement ensures
that the voltages seen internally are within the common-mode
range of the buffer in buffered mode and within the supply range in
unbuffered mode. This device can be programmed to operate in
either buffered or unbuffered mode via the BUF bit in the setup
register. Note that the signals on AIN3 are with respect to the
HICOM input and not with respect to AGND or DGND.
this unbuffered mode is 1 nA maximum. As a result, the analog
inputs see a dynamic load that is switched at the input sample
rate (see Figure 14). This sample rate depends on master clock
frequency and selected gain. CSAMP is charged to AIN(+) and
discharged to AIN(−) every input sample cycle. The effective PO
resistance of the switch, RSW, is typically 7 kΩ.
CSAMP must be charged through RSW and any additional source
impedances every input sample cycle. Therefore, in unbuffered
mode, source impedances mean a longer charge time for CSAMP
and this may result in gain errors on the part. Table 26 shows
the allowable external resistance/capacitance values, for unbuffered
mode, such that no gain error to the 16-bit level is introduced
on the part. Note that these capacitances are total capacitances
on the analog input. This external capacitance includes 10 pF
from the pins and lead frame of the device.
The differential voltage seen by the AD7707 when using the
high level input channel is the difference between AIN3(+) and
AIN3(−) on the mux as shown in Figure 13.

In unbuffered mode, the common-mode range of the low level
input channels is from AGND − 100 mV to AVDD + 30 mV. This
means that in unbuffered mode, the part can handle both unipolar
and bipolar input ranges for all gains. Absolute voltages of
AGND − 100 mV can be accommodated on the analog inputs
without degradation in performance, but leakage current increases
appreciably with increasing temperature. In buffered mode, the
analog inputs can handle much larger source impedances, but
the absolute input voltage range is restricted to between AGND
+ 50 mV to AVDD − 1.5 V, which also places restrictions on the
common-mode range. This means that in buffered mode, there
are some restrictions on the allowable gains for bipolar input
ranges. Care must be taken in setting up the common-mode
voltage and input voltage range so that these limits are not
exceeded; otherwise, there will be a degradation in linearity
performance.

AD7707
In buffered mode, the analog inputs look into the high impedance
inputs stage of the on-chip buffer amplifier. CSAMP is charged via
this buffer amplifier such that source impedances do not affect
the charging of CSAMP. This buffer amplifier has an offset leakage
current of 1 nA. In buffered mode, large source impedances
result in a small dc offset voltage developed across the source
impedance, but not in a gain error.
INPUT SAMPLE RATE
The modulator sample frequency for the AD7707 remains at
fCLKIN/128 (19.2 kHz at fCLKIN = 2.4576 MHz) regardless of the
selected gain. However, gains greater than 1 are achieved by a
combination of multiple input samples per modulator cycle and
a scaling of the ratio of reference capacitor to input capacitor. As
a result of the multiple sampling, the input sample rate of the
device varies with the selected gain (see Table 27). In buffered
mode, the input impedance is constant. In unbuffered mode,
where the analog input looks directly into the sampling capacitor,
the effective input impedance is 1/CSAMP × fS where CSAMP is the
input sampling capacitance and fS is the input sample rate.

BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR INPUTS
The analog inputs on the low level input channels on the AD7707
can accept either unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges with
respect to LOCOM.
The high level input channel handles true bipolar signals of ±10 V
maxJNVN for guaranteed operation.
Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the
B/U bit of the setup register. This programs the channel for
either unipolar or bipolar operation. Programming the channel
for either unipolar or bipolar operation does not change any of
the channel conditions, it simply changes the data output coding
and the points on the transfer function where calibrations occur.
In unipolar operation, the output coding is straight binary. In
bipolar mode, the output coding is offset binary.
Rev. B | Page 26 of 52
AD7707
REFERENCE INPUT
The AD7707 reference inputs, REF IN(+) and REF IN(−),
provide a differential reference input capability. The commonmode range for these differential inputs is from GND to AVDD.
The nominal reference voltage, VREF REF IN(+) − REF IN(−),
for specified operation is +2.5 V for the AD7707 operated with
an AVDD of 5 V and 1.225 V for the AD7707 operated with an
AVDD of 3 V. The part is functional with VREF voltages down to
1 V, but with degraded performance because the LSB size is
smaller. REF IN(+) must always be greater than REF IN(−) for
correct operation of the AD7707.
Both reference inputs provide a high impedance, dynamic load
similar to the analog inputs in unbuffered mode. The maximum
dc input leakage current is ±1 nA over temperature, and source
resistance may result in gain errors on the part. In this case, the
sampling switch resistance is 5 kΩ typical and the reference
capacitor (CREF) varies with gain. The sample rate on the
reference inputs is fCLKIN/64 and does not vary with gain. For
gains of 1 and 2, CREF is 8 pF; for a gain of 16, it is 5.5 pF; for a
gain of 32, it is 4.25 pF; for a gain of 64, it is 3.625 pF; and for a
gain of 128, it is 3.3125 pF.
The output noise performance outlined in Table 7 through
Table 13 is for an analog input of 0 V, which effectively removes
the effect of noise from the reference. To obtain the same noise
performance as shown in the noise tables over the full input
range requires a low noise reference source for the AD7707. If
the reference noise in the bandwidth of interest is excessive, it
degrades the performance of the AD7707. In bridge transducer
applications where the reference voltage for the ADC is derived
from the excitation voltage, the effect of the noise in the excitation
voltage is removed because the application is ratiometric. Recommended reference voltage sources for the AD7707 with an
AVDD of 5 V include the AD780, REF43, and REF192, and the
recommended reference sources for the AD7707 operated with
an AVDD of 3 V include the AD589 and AD1580. It is generally
recommended to decouple the output of these references to
further reduce the noise level.
Rev. B | Page 27 of 52
AD7707
DIGITAL FILTERING
On the other hand, analog filtering can remove noise superimposed on the analog signal before it reaches the ADC. Digital
filtering cannot do this and noise peaks riding on signals near
full scale have the potential to saturate the analog modulator
and digital filter, even though the average value of the signal is
within limits. To alleviate this problem, the AD7707 has overrange headroom built into the Σ-Δ modulator and digital filter,
which allows overrange excursions of 5% above the analog
input range. If noise signals are larger than this, consideration
should be given to analog input filtering, or to reducing the input
channel voltage so that its full scale is half that of the analog input
channel full scale. This provides an overrange capability greater
than 100% at the expense of reducing the dynamic range by one
bit (50%).
In addition, the digital filter does not provide any rejection at
integer multiples of the digital filter’s sample frequency. However,
the input sampling on the part provides attenuation at multiples
of the digital filter’s sampling frequency so that the unattenuated
bands actually occur around multiples of the sampling frequency, fS
(as defined in Table 27). Thus, the unattenuated bands occur at
n × fS (where n = 1, 2, 3…). At these frequencies, there are
frequency bands of ±f3 dB width (f3 dB is the cutoff frequency of
the digital filter) where noise passes unattenuated to the output.
FILTER CHARACTERISTICS
The AD7707’s digital filter is a low-pass filter with a (sinx/x)3

Figure 16 shows the filter frequency response for a cutoff
frequency of 2.62 Hz, which corresponds to a first filter notch
frequency of 10 Hz. The plot is shown from dc to 65 Hz. This
response is repeated at either side of the digital filter’s sample
frequency and at either side of multiples of the filter’s sample
frequency.
The response of the filter is similar to that of an averaging filter,
but with a sharper roll-off. The output rate for the digital filter
corresponds with the positioning of the first notch of the filter’s
frequency response. Thus, for the plot of Figure 16 where the
output rate is 10 Hz, the first notch of the filter is at 10 Hz. The
notches of this (sinx/x)3 filter are repeated at multiples of the
first notch. The filter provides attenuation of better than 100 dB
at these notches.

First, because digital filtering occurs after the ADC process, it
can remove noise injected during the conversion process. Analog
filtering cannot do this. Also, the digital filter can be made
programmable far more readily than an analog filter. Depending
on the digital filter design, this gives the user the capability of
programming cutoff frequency and output update rate.

GAIN (dB)
The AD7707 contains an on-chip
low-pass digital filter that
processes the output of the part’s Σ-Δ modulator. Therefore, the
part not only provides the analog-to-digital conversion function
but also provides a level of filtering. There are a number of system
differences when the filtering function is provided in the digital
domain rather than the analog domain and the user should be
aware of these.

Figure 16. Frequency Response of AD7707 Filter
Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection is obtained by placing
the first notch at 10 Hz. Operating with an update rate of 10 Hz
places notches at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz giving better than 100 dB
rejection at these frequencies.
The cutoff frequency of the digital filter is determined by the value
loaded to Bit FS0 to Bit FS2 in the clock register. Programming
a different cutoff frequency via FS0, FS1, and FS2 does not alter
the profile of the filter response; it changes the frequency of the
notches. The output update of the part and the frequency of the
first notch correspond.
Because the AD7707 contains this on-chip, low-pass filtering, a
settling time is associated with step function inputs and data on
the output will be invalid after a step change until the settling
time has elapsed. The settling time depends upon the output rate
chosen for the filter. The settling time of the filter to a full-scale
step input can be up to four times the output data period. For a
synchronized step input (using the FSYNC function), the settling
time is three times the output data period.

AD7707
POSTFILTERING
ANALOG FILTERING
The on-chip modulator provides samples at a 19.2 kHz output
rate with fCLKIN at 2.4576 MHz. The on-chip digital filter decimates
these samples to provide data at an output rate that corresponds
to the programmed output rate of the filter. Because the output
data rate is higher than the Nyquist criterion, the output rate for
a given bandwidth satisfies most application requirements. There
may, however, be some applications that require a higher data
rate for a given bandwidth and noise performance. Applications
that need this higher data rate require some postfiltering following the digital filter of the AD7707.
The digital filter does not provide any rejection at integer multiples
of the modulator sample frequency, as previously outlined.
However, due to the AD7707’s high oversampling ratio, these bands
occupy only a small fraction of the spectrum and most broadband
noise is filtered. This means that the analog filtering requirements
in front of the AD7707 are considerably reduced vs. a conventional converter with no on-chip filtering. In addition, because
the part’s common-mode rejection performance of 100 dB
extends out to several kHz, common-mode noise in this
frequency range is substantially reduced.
For example, if the required bandwidth is 7.86 Hz, but the
required update rate is 100 Hz, the data can be taken from the
AD7707 at the 100 Hz rate, giving a −3 dB bandwidth of 26.2 Hz.
Postfiltering can be applied to this to reduce the bandwidth and
output noise, to the 7.86 Hz bandwidth level, while maintaining
an output rate of 100 Hz.
Depending on the application, however, it may be necessary to
provide attenuation prior to the AD7707 to eliminate unwanted
frequencies from these bands, which the digital filter will pass.
It may also be necessary in some applications to provide analog
filtering in front of the AD7707 to ensure that differential noise
signals outside the band of interest do not saturate the analog
modulator.
Postfiltering can also be used to reduce the output noise from
the device for bandwidths below 2.62 Hz. At a gain of 128 and a
bandwidth of 2.62 Hz, the output rms noise is 450 nV. This is
essentially device noise or white noise
and because the input is
chopped, the noise has a primarily flat frequency response.
By reducing the bandwidth below 2.62 Hz, the noise in the
resultant pass band can be reduced. A reduction in bandwidth
by a factor of 2 results in a reduction of approximately 1.25 in
the output rms noise. This additional filtering results in a longer
settling time.
If passive components are placed in front of the AD7707 in
unbuffered mode, care must be taken to ensure that the source
impedance is low enough not to introduce gain errors in the
system. This significantly limits the amount of passive antialiasing
filtering, which can be provided in front of the AD7707 when it
is used in unbuffered mode. However, when the part is used in
buffered mode, large source impedances simply result in a small
dc offset error (a 10 kΩ source resistance causes an offset error
of less than 10 μV). Therefore, if the system requires any TJHOJGJ
cant source impedances to provide passive analog GJMUFSJOHJO
front of the AD7707, it is recommended that the QBSUCFPQFSBUFE
in buffered mode.

AD7707
CALIBRATION
The AD7707 provides a number of calibration options that
can be programmed via the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup
register. The different calibration options are outlined in the
Setup Register (RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 1); Power-On/Reset Status:
0x01 section and the Calibration Sequences section. A calibration
cycle can be initiated at any time by writing to these bits of the
setup register. Calibration on the AD7707 removes offset and
gain errors from the device. A calibration routine should be
initiated on the device whenever there is a change in the ambient
operating temperature or supply voltage. It should also be
initiated if there is a change in the selected gain, filter notch, or
bipolar/unipolar input range.
The AD7707 offers self-calibration and system calibration facilities. For full calibration to occur on the selected channel, the
on-chip microcontroller must record the modulator output for
two different input conditions. These are zero-scale and full-scale
points. These points are derived by performing a conversion on
the different input voltages provided to the input of the modulator during calibration. As a result, the accuracy of the calibration
can only be as good as the noise level that it provides in normal
mode. The result of the zero-scale calibration conversion is
stored in the zero-scale calibration register whereas the result of
the full-scale calibration conversion is stored in the full-scale
calibration register. With these readings, the microcontroller
can calculate the offset and the gain slope for the input-tooutput transfer function of the converter.
SELF-CALIBRATION
A self-calibration is initiated on the AD7707 by writing the
appropriate values (0, 1) to the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup
register. In the self-calibration mode with a unipolar input
range, the zero-scale point used in determining the calibration
coefficients is with the inputs of the differential pair internally
shorted on the part (that is, AIN1 = LOCOM = internal bias
voltage in the case of the AD7707. The PGA is set for the
selected gain (as per the G2, G1, and G0 bits in the setup
register) for this zero-scale calibration conversion. The fullscale calibration conversion is performed at the selected gain on
an internally-generated voltage of VREF/selected gain.
The duration time for the calibration is 6 × 1/output rate. This
is made up of 3 × 1/output rate for the zero-scale calibration
and 3 × 1/output rate for the full-scale calibration. At this time,
the MD1 and MD0 bits in the setup register return to 0, 0. This
gives the earliest indication that the calibration sequence is
complete. The DRDY line goes high when calibration is initiated
and does not return low until there is a valid new word in the
data register. The duration time from the calibration command
being issued to DRDY going low is 9 × 1/output rate. This is
made up of 3 × 1/output rate for the zero-scale calibration, 3 ×
1/output rate for the full-scale calibration, 3 × 1/output rate for
a conversion on the analog input, and some overhead to
correctly set up the coefficients. If DRDY is low before (or goes
low during) the calibration command write to the setup register,
it may take up to one modulator cycle (MCLK IN/ 128) before
DRDY goes high to indicate that calibration is in progress.
Therefore, DRDY should be ignored for up to one modulator
cycle after the last bit is written to the setup register in the
calibration command.
For bipolar input ranges in the self-calibrating mode, the
sequence is very similar to that just outlined. In this case, the
two points are exactly the same as in the previous case but
because the part is configured for bipolar operation, the shorted
inputs point is actually midscale of the transfer function.
Errors due to resistor mismatch in the attenuator on the high
level input channel AIN3 are not removed by a self-calibration.
SYSTEM CALIBRATION
System calibration allows the AD7707 to compensate for system
gain and offset errors as well as its own internal errors. System
calibration performs the same slope factor calculations as selfcalibration, but uses voltage values presented by the system to
the AIN inputs for the zero-scale and full-scale points. Full
system calibration requires a two-step process, a ZS system
calibration followed by an FS system calibration.
For a full system calibration, the zero-scale point must be presented
to the converter first. It must be applied to the converter before
the calibration step is initiated, and remain stable until the step
is complete. Once the system zero-scale voltage has been set up,
a ZS system calibration is then initiated by writing the appropriate
values (1, 0) to the MD1 and MD0 bits of the setup register. The
zero-scale system calibration is performed at the selected gain.
The duration of the calibration is 3 × 1/output rate. At this time,
the MD1 and MD0 bits in the setup register return to 0, 0. This
gives the earliest indication that the calibration sequence is
complete. The DRDY line goes high when calibration is initiated
and does not return low until there is a valid new word in the
data register. The duration time from the calibration command
being issued to DRDY going low is 4 × 1/output rate as the part
performs a normal conversion on the analog input voltage
before DRDY goes low. If DRDY is low before (or goes low during)
the calibration command write to the Tetup Segister, it may take
up to one modulator cycle (MCLK IN/128) before DRDY goes
high to indicate that calibration is in progress. Therefore, DRDY
should be ignored for up to one modulator cycle after the last
bit is written to the setup register in the calibration command.
After the zero-scale point is calibrated, the full-scale point is
applied to the analog input and the second step of the
calibration process is initiated by again writing the appropriate
values (1, 1) to MD1 and MD0. Again, the full-scale voltage
must be set up before the calibration is initiated and it must
remain stable throughout the calibration step. The full-scale
system calibration is performed at the selected gain. The duration
of the calibration is 3 × 1/output rate. At this time, the MD1 and

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 with the following examples.
If the part is used in unipolar mode with a required span of 0.8 ×
VREF/gain, the offset range the system calibration can handle is
from −1.05 × VREF/gain to +0.25 × VREF/gain. If the part is used
in unipolar mode with a required span of VREF/gain, the offset
range the system calibration can handle is from −1.05 × VREF/gain
to +0.05 × VREF/gain. Similarly, if the part is used in unipolar
mode and required to remove an offset of 0.2 × VREF/gain, the
span range the system calibration can handle is 0.85 × VREF/gain.
1.05 × VREF /GAIN
In the unipolar mode, the system calibration is performed between
the two endpoints of the transfer function; in the bipolar mode,
it is performed between midscale (zero differential voltage) and
positive full scale.
SPAN AND OFFSET LIMITS ON THE LOW LEVEL
INPUT CHANNELS, AIN1 AND AIN2
Whenever a system calibration mode is used, there are limits on
the amount of offset and span that can be accommodated. The
overriding requirement in determining the amount of offset
and gain that can be accommodated by the part is the requirement that the positive full-scale calibration limit is
