Data Sheet
AD7768/AD7768-4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7768/AD7768-4 are 8-channel and 4-channel,
simultaneous sampling sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), respectively, with a Σ-Δ modulator and digital
filter per channel, enabling synchronized sampling of ac and dc
signals.
Within these filter options, the user can improve the dynamic
range by selecting from decimation rates of ×32, ×64, ×128,
×256, ×512, and ×1024. The ability to vary the decimation
filtering optimizes noise performance to the required input
bandwidth.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 achieve 108 dB dynamic range at a
maximum input bandwidth of 110.8 kHz, combined with typical
performance of ±2 ppm integral nonlinearity (INL), ±50 μV
offset error, and ±30 ppm gain error.
Embedded analog functionality on each ADC channel makes
design easier, such as a precharge buffer on each analog input
that reduces analog input current and a precharge reference
buffer per channel reduces input current and glitches on the
reference input terminals.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 user can trade off input bandwidth,
output data rate, and power dissipation, and select one of three
power modes to optimize for noise targets and power consumption. The flexibility of the AD7768/AD7768-4 allows them to
become reusable platforms for low power dc and high
performance ac measurement modules.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have three modes: fast mode (256 kSPS
maximum, 110.8 kHz input bandwidth, 51.5 mW per channel),
median mode (128 kSPS maximum, 55.4 kHz input bandwidth,
27.5 mW per channel) and low power mode (32 kSPS maximum,
13.8 kHz input bandwidth, 9.375 mW per channel).
The AD7768/AD7768-4 offer extensive digital filtering
capabilities, such as a wideband, low ±0.005 dB pass-band
ripple, antialiasing low-pass filter with sharp roll-off, and
105 dB attenuation at the Nyquist frequency.
The device operates with a 5 V AVDD1A and AVDD1B supply,
a 2.25 V to 5.0 V AVDD2A and AVDD2B supply, and a 2.5 V to
3.3 V or 1.8 V IOVDD supply (see the 1.8 V IOVDD Operation
section for specific requirements for operating at 1.8 V IOVDD).
The device requires an external reference; the absolute input
reference voltage range is 1 V to AVDD1 − AVSS.
For the purposes of clarity in this data sheet, the AVDD1A and
AVDD1B supplies are referred to as AVDD1 and the AVDD2A and
AVDD2B supplies are referred to as AVDD2. For the negative
supplies, AVSS refers to the AVSS1A, AVSS1B, AVSS2A,
AVSS2B, and AVSS pins.
The specified operating temperature range is −40°C to +105°C.
The device is housed in a 10 mm × 10 mm 64-lead LQFP package
with a 12 mm × 12 mm printed circuit board (PCB) footprint.
Frequency domain measurements can use the wideband linear
phase filter. This filter has a flat pass band (±0.005 dB ripple)
from dc to 102.4 kHz at 256 kSPS, from dc to 51.2 kHz at
128 kSPS, or from dc to 12.8 kHz at 32 kSPS.
Throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such as
XTAL2/MCLK, are referred to either by the entire pin name or
by a single function of the pin, for example MCLK, when only
that function is relevant.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 also offer sinc response via a sinc5
filter, a low latency path for low bandwidth, and low noise
measurements. The wideband and sinc5 filters can be selected
and run on a per channel basis.

The output data rate ranges refer to the programmable decimation rates available on the AD7768/AD7668-4 for a fixed MCLK rate of 32.768 MHz. Varying MCLK rates
allow users a wider variation of ODR.
These specifications are not production tested but are supported by characterization data at initial product release.
3
See the Terminology section for more information about the fa and fb input frequencies.
4
Following a system zero-scale calibration, the offset error is in the order of the noise for the programmed output data rate selected. A system full-scale calibration
reduces the gain error to the order of the noise for the programmed output data rate.
5
−25 μA is measured when the analog input is close to either the AVDD1 or AVSS rail. The input current reduces as the common-mode voltage approaches (AVDD1 −
AVSS)/2. The analog input current scales with the MCLK frequency and device power mode. See Figure 85 and Figure 86 for more details on how the analog input
current scales with input voltage.
6
For lower MCLK rates or higher decimation rates, use Table 28 and Table 29 to calculate any additional delay before the first DRDY pulse.
7
The RESET pin has an internal pull-up device to IOVDD.
8
Configuring Channel Mode A to the sinc5 filter and/or assigning disabled channels to Channel Mode A allows a lower power consumption to be achieved. To do this,
the user must be operating in SPI control mode because it requires assigning channels to different channel modes (only possible in SPI control mode). If using pin
control mode, all channels, whether active or in standby, are assigned to the same channel group and use the same filter type. This means that, in pin control mode, a
higher current consumption is seen from disabled channels than can be achieved in SPI mode. See the Channel Modes section for more details.

These specifications are not production tested but are supported by characterization data at initial product release.
Following a system zero-scale calibration, the offset error is in the order of the noise for the programmed output data rate selected. A system full-scale calibration
reduces the gain error to the order of the noise for the programmed output data rate.

This configuration of setting Channel Mode A to the sinc5 filter and/or assigning disabled channels to Channel Mode A allows a lower power consumption to be
achieved due to the disabling of internal clocks on the disabled only and sinc5 only channel modes. This configuration requires assigning sinc5 and wideband filters to
different channels, or channel modes, and is only available in SPI control mode. In pin control mode, all channels, whether active or in standby, effectively use the
same channel mode. See the Channel Modes section for more details.

Description
Negative Analog Input to ADC Channel 1.
Positive Analog Input to ADC Channel 1.
Negative Analog Supply. This pin is nominally 0 V.
Analog Supply Voltage, 5 V ± 10% with Respect to AVSS.
Reference Input, Negative. REF1− is the negative reference terminal for Channel 0 to Channel 3. The
REF1− voltage range is from AVSS to (AVDD1 − 1 V). Decouple this pin to AVSS with a high quality
capacitor, and maintain a low impedance between this capacitor and Pin 3.
Reference Input, Positive. REF1+ is the positive reference terminal for Channel 0 to Channel 3.
The REF1+ voltage range is from (AVSS + 1 V) to AVDD1. Apply an external differential reference
voltage between REF1+ and REF1− in the range from 1 V to |AVDD1 − AVSS|. Decouple this pin
to AVSS with a high quality capacitor, and maintain a low impedance between this capacitor and
Pin 3.
Negative Analog Input to ADC Channel 2.
Positive Analog Input to ADC Channel 2.
Negative Analog Input to ADC Channel 3.
Positive Analog Input to ADC Channel 3.
Filter Select/General-Purpose Input/Output 4. In pin control mode, this pin selects the filter type.
Set this pin to Logic 1 for the sinc5 filter. This sinc5 filter is a low latency filter, and is best for dc
applications or when a user has specialized postfiltering implemented off chip.
Set this pin to Logic 0 for the wideband low ripple filter response. This filter has a steep
transition band and 105 dB stop band attenuation. Full attenuation at Nyquist (ODR/2) means
that no aliasing occurs at ODR/2 out to the first chopping zone.
In SPI control mode, this pin can be used as a general-purpose input/output (GPIO4). For further
information on GPIO configuration, see the GPIO Functionality section. In SPI control mode, when not
used as a GPIO pin and when a crystal is used as the clock source, this pin must be set to 1.

Description
Mode Selection/General-Purpose Input/Output Pin 0 to Pin 3.
In pin control mode, the MODEx pins set the mode of operation for all ADC channels, controlling
power consumption, DCLK frequency, and the ADC conversion type, allowing one-shot
conversion operation.
In SPI control mode, the GPIOx pins, in addition to the FILTER/GPIO4 pin, form five generalpurpose input/output pins (GPIO4 to GPIO0).
Standby 0/Chip Select Input.
In pin control mode, a Logic 1 places Channel 0 to Channel 3 into standby mode.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the active low chip select input to the SPI control interface. The
VCM voltage output is associated with the Channel 0 circuitry. If Channel 0 is put into standby
mode, the VCM voltage output is also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 0 must be
enabled while VCM is being used externally to the AD7768.
Standby 1/Serial Clock Input.
In pin control mode, a Logic 1 on this pin places Channel 4 to Channel 7 into standby mode.
The crystal excitation circuitry is associated with the Channel 4 circuitry. If Channel 4 is placed
into standby mode, the crystal circuitry is also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 4
must be enabled while the external crystal is used on the AD7768.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the serial clock input pin for the SPI control interface.
Decimation Rate Control Input 1/Serial Data Input.
In pin control mode, the DEC0 and DEC1 pins configure the decimation rate for all ADC
channels. See Table 17 in the Setting the Decimation Rate section for more information.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the serial data input pin used to write data to the AD7768 register
bank.
Decimation Rate Control Input 0/Serial Data Output.
In pin control mode, the DEC0 and DEC1 pins configure the decimation rate for all ADC
channels. See Table 17 in the Setting the Decimation Rate section for more information.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the serial data output pin, allowing readback from the AD7768
registers.
Conversion Data Output 7. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY. This pin acts as
a digital input from a separate AD7768 device if configured in a synchronized multidevice daisy
chain when the FORMATx pins are configured as 01. To use the AD7768 in a daisy chain, hardwire the
FORMATx pins as 01, 10, or 11, depending on the best interfacing format for the application. When
FORMATx is set to 01, 10, or 11, and daisy-chaining is not used, connect this pin to ground
through a pull-down resistor.
Conversion Data Output 6. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY. This pin acts as
a digital input from a separate AD7768 device if configured in a synchronized multidevice daisy
chain. To use this pin in a daisy chain, hardwire the FORMATx pins as 01, 10, or 11, depending on
the best interfacing format for the application. When FORMATx is set to 01, 10, or 11, and daisy
chaining is not used, connect this pin to ground through a pull-down resistor.
Conversion Data Output 5. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 4. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 3. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 2. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 1. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 0. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY
ADC Conversion Data Clock. This pin clocks conversion data out to the digital host (digital signal
processor (DSP)/field-programmable gate array (FPGA)). This pin is synchronous with DRDY and
any conversion data output on DOUT0 to DOUT7 and is derived from the MCLK signal. This pin is
unrelated to the control SPI interface.
Data Ready. DRDY is a periodic signal output framing the conversion results from the eight
ADCs. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and DOUT0 to DOUT7.
Hardware Asynchronous Reset Input. After the device is fully powered up, it is recommended to
perform a hard reset using this pin or, alternatively, to perform a soft reset by issuing a reset
over the SPI control interface

Description
Input 1 for Crystal or Connection to an LVDS Clock. When CLK_SEL is 0, connect XTAL1 to DGND.
In SPI control mode, when using a crystal source, the FILTER pin must be set to Logic 1 for
correct operation. The crystal excitation circuitry is associated with the Channel 4 circuitry. If
Channel 4 is put into standby mode, the crystal circuitry is also disabled for maximum power
savings. Channel 4 must be enabled while the external crystal is used on the AD7768. When
used with an LVDS clock, connect this pin to one trace of the LVDS signal pair. When used as an LVDS
input, a rising edge on this pin is detected as a rising MCLK edge by the AD7768.
Input 2 for CMOS or Crystal/LVDS Sampling Clock. See the CLK_SEL pin for the details of this
configuration.
External crystal: XTAL2 is connected to the external crystal. In SPI control mode, when using a
crystal source, the FILTER pin must be set to Logic 1 for correct operation.
LVDS clock: when used with an LVDS clock, connect this pin to the second trace of the LVDS
signal pair.
CMOS clock: this pin operates as an MCLK input. This pin is a CMOS input with a logic level of
IOVDD/DGND. When used as a CMOS clock input, a rising edge on this pin is detected as a rising
MCLK edge by the AD7768.
The crystal excitation circuitry is associated with the Channel 4 circuitry. If Channel 4 is put into
standby mode, the crystal circuitry is also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 4 must be
enabled while the external crystal is used on the AD7768.
Digital Ground. This pin is nominally 0 V.
Digital Low Dropout (LDO) Regulator Output. Decouple this pin to DGND with a high quality,
low equivalent series resistance (ESR), 10 μF capacitor. For optimum performance, use a
decoupling capacitor with an ESR specification of less than 400 mΩ. This pin is not for use in
circuits external to the AD7768. For 1.8 V IOVDD operation, connect this pin to IOVDD via an
external trace to provide power to the digital processing core.
Digital Supply. This pin sets the logic levels for all interface pins. IOVDD also powers the digital
processing core via the digital LDO when IOVDD is at least 2.25 V. For 1.8 V IOVDD operation,
connect this pin to DREGCAP via an external trace to provide power to the digital processing core.
Synchronization Input. SYNC_IN receives the synchronous signal from SYNC_OUT. It is used in
the synchronization of any AD7768 that requires simultaneous sampling or is in a daisy chain.
Ignore the START and SYNC_OUT functions if the SYNC_IN pin is connected to the system
synchronization pulse. This signal pulse must be synchronous to the MCLK clock domain. In a
daisy-chained system of AD7768 devices, two successive synchronization pulses must be
applied to guarantee that all ADCs are synchronized. Two synchronization pulses are also
required in a system of more than one AD7768 device sharing a single MCLK signal, where the
DRDY pin of only one device is used to detect new data.
Start Signal. The START pulse synchronizes the AD7768 to other devices. The signal can be
asynchronous. The AD7768 samples the input and then outputs a SYNC_OUT pulse. This
SYNC_OUT pulse must be routed to the SYNC_IN pin of this device, and any other AD7768
devices that must be synchronized together. This means that the user does not need to run the
ADCs and their digital host from the same clock domain, which is useful when there are long
traces or back planes between the ADC and the controller. If this pin is not used, it must be tied
to a Logic 1 through a pull-up resistor. In a daisy-chained system of AD7768 devices, two
successive synchronization pulses must be applied to guarantee that all ADCs are synchronized.
Two synchronization pulses are also required in a system of more than one AD7768 device
sharing a single MCLK signal, where the DRDY pin of only one device is used to detect new data.
Synchronization Output. This pin operates only when the START input is used. When using the
START input feature, the SYNC_OUT pin must be connected to SYNC_IN via an external trace.
SYNC_OUT is a digital output that is synchronous to the MCLK signal; the synchronization signal
driven in on START is internally synchronized to the MCLK signal and is driven out on SYNC_OUT.
SYNC_OUT can also be routed to other AD7768 devices requiring simultaneous sampling and/or
daisy-chaining, ensuring synchronization of devices related to the MCLK clock domain. It must
then be wired to drive the SYNC_IN pin on the same AD7768 and on the other AD7768 devices.

Negative Analog Supply. This pin is nominally 0 V.
Format Selection Pins. Hardwire the FORMATx pins to the required values in pin control and SPI
control mode. These pins set the number of DOUTx pins used to output ADC conversion data. The
FORMATx pins are checked by the AD7768 on power-up; the AD7768 then remains in this data
output configuration (see Table 33).
Pin Control/SPI Control. This pin sets the control method.
Logic 0 = pin control mode for the AD7768. Pin control mode allows a pin strapped
configuration of the AD7768 by tying logic input pins to required logic levels. Tie the logic pins
(MODE0 to MODE4, DEC0 and DEC1, and FILTER) as required for the configuration. See the Pin
Control section for more details.
Logic 1 = SPI control mode for the AD7768. Use the SPI control interface signals (CS, SCLK, SDI,
and SDO) for reading and writing to the AD7768 memory map.
Clock Select.
Logic 0 = pull this pin low for the CMOS clock option. The clock is applied to Pin 32 (Connect
Pin 31 to DGND).
Logic 1 = pull this pin high for the crystal or LVDS clock option. The crystal or LVDS clock is
applied to Pin 31 and Pin 32. The LVDS option is available only in SPI control mode. A write is
required to enable the LVDS clock option.
Common-Mode Voltage Output. This pin outputs (AVDD1 − AVSS)/2 V, which is 2.5 V by default
in pin control mode. Configure this pin to (AVDD1 − AVSS)/2 V, 2.5 V, 2.14 V, or 1.65 V in SPI
control mode. When driving capacitive loads larger than 0.1 μF, it is recommended to place a
50 Ω series resistor between this pin and the capacitive load for stability. The VCM voltage output is
associated with the Channel 0 circuitry. If Channel 0 is put into standby mode, the VCM voltage
output is also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 0 must be enabled while VCM is
being used externally to the AD7768.

Description
Negative Analog Input to ADC Channel 1.
Positive Analog Input to ADC Channel 1.
Negative Analog Supply. This pin is nominally 0 V.
Analog Supply Voltage, 5 V ± 10% with respect to AVSS.
Reference Input Negative. REF1− is the negative reference terminal for Channel 0 and
Channel 1. The REF1− voltage range is from AVSS to (AVDD1 − 1 V). Decouple this pin to
AVSS with a high quality capacitor, and maintain a low impedance between this capacitor
and Pin 3.
Reference Input Positive. REF1+ is the positive reference terminal for Channel 0 and
Channel 1. The REF1+ voltage range is from (AVSS + 1 V) to AVDD1. Apply an external
differential reference voltage between REF1+ and REF1− in the range from 1 V to |AVDD1 −
AVSS|. Decouple this pin to AVSS with a high quality capacitor, and maintain a low
impedance between this capacitor and Pin 3.
Negative Analog Supply. This pin is nominally 0 V.
Filter Select/General-Purpose Input/Output 4. In pin control mode, this pin selects the filter
type.
Set this pin to Logic 1 for the sinc5 filter. This sinc5 filter is a low latency filter, and is best
for dc applications or where a user has specialized postfiltering implemented off chip.
Set this pin to Logic 0 for the wideband low ripple filter response. This filter has a steep
transition band and 105 dB stop band attenuation. Full attenuation at Nyquist (ODR/2)
means that no aliasing occurs at ODR/2 out to the first chopping zone.
In SPI control mode, this pin can be used as a general-purpose input/output (GPIO4). For
further information on GPIO configuration, see the GPIO Functionality section.
In SPI control mode, when not used as a GPIO pin, and when a crystal will be used as the
clock source, this pin must be set to 1.

Description
Mode Selection/General-Purpose Input/Output Pin 0 to Pin 3.
In pin control mode, the MODEx pins set the mode of operation for all ADC channels,
controlling power consumption, DCLK frequency, and the ADC conversion type, allowing
one-shot conversion operation.
In SPI control mode, the GPIOx pins, in addition to the FILTER/GPIO4 pin, form five generalpurpose input/output pins (GPIO4 to GPIO0). See Table 75 for more details.
Standby 0/Chip Select Input.
In pin control mode, a Logic 1 on this pin places Channel 0 to Channel 3 into standby
mode.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the active low chip select input to the SPI control interface.
The VCM voltage output is associated with the Channel 0 circuitry. If Channel 0 is put into
standby mode, the VCM voltage output is also disabled for maximum power savings.
Channel0 must be enabled while VCM is being used externally to the AD7768-4. The
crystal excitation circuitry is associated with the Channel 2 circuitry. If Channel 2 is put into
standby mode, the crystal circuitry is also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 2
must be enabled while the external crystal is used on the AD7768-4.
Serial Clock Input.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the serial clock input pin for the SPI control interface.
In pin control mode, tie this pin to a Logic 0 or DGND.
Decimation Rate Control Input 1/Serial Data Input.
In pin control mode, the DEC0 and DEC1 pins configure the decimation rate for all ADC
channels. See Table 17 in the Setting the Decimation Rate section.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the serial data input pin used to write data to the AD7768-4
register bank.
Decimation Rate Control Input 0/Serial Data Output.
In pin control mode, the DEC0 and DEC1 pins configure the decimation rate for all ADC
channels. See Table 17 in the Setting the Decimation Rate section.
In SPI control mode, this pin is the serial data output pin, allowing readback from the
AD7768-4 registers.
Do Not Connect/Digital Ground. This is an unused pin. Leave this pin floating if FORMAT0 is
tied to logic low. If FORMAT0 is tied to logic high, connect this pin to DGND through a pulldown resistor.
Data Input Daisy Chain. This pin acts as a digital input from a separate AD7768-4 device if
configured in a synchronized multidevice daisy-chain. To use this pin in a daisy-chain,
hardwire the FORMAT0 pin to logic high. If FORMAT0 is tied to logic low, or the daisy
chaining input pin is not used, then tie this pin to DGND through a pull-down resistor.
Do Not Connect. Do not connect to this pin.
Conversion Data Output 3. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 2. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 1. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY.
Conversion Data Output 0. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and framed by DRDY
ADC Conversion Data Clock. This pin clocks conversion data out to the digital host (DSP/FPGA).
This pin is synchronous with DRDY and any conversion data output on DOUT0 to DOUT3
and is derived from the MCLK signal. This pin is unrelated to the control SPI interface.
Data Ready. DRDY is a periodic signal output framing the conversion results from the four
ADCs. This pin is synchronous to DCLK and DOUT0 to DOUT3.
Hardware Asynchronous Reset Input. After the device is fully powered up, it is
recommended to perform a hard reset using this pin or, alternatively, to perform a soft
reset by issuing a reset over the SPI control interface
Input 1 for Crystal or Connection to an LVDS Clock. When CLK_SEL is 0, connect XTAL1 to
DGND. In SPI control mode, when using a crystal source, the FILTER pin must be set to
Logic 1 for correct operation. When used with an LVDS clock, it is recommended that this
pin be connected to one trace of the LVDS signal pair. When used as an LVDS input, a rising
edge on this pin is detected as a rising MCLK edge by the AD7768-4.

Description
Input 2 for CMOS/Crystal/LVDS Sampling Clock. See the CLK_SEL pin for the details of this
configuration.
External crystal: XTAL2 is connected to the external crystal. In SPI control mode, when
using a crystal source, the FILTER pin must be set to Logic 1 for correct operation.
LVDS: when used with an LVDS clock, connect this pin to the second trace of the LVDS
signal pair.
CMOS clock: this pin operates as an MCLK input. This pin is a CMOS input with logic level
of IOVDD/DGND. When used as a CMOS clock input, a rising edge on this pin is detected
as a rising MCLK edge by the AD7768-4.
Digital Ground. Nominally GND (0 V).
Digital LDO Regulator Output. Decouple this pin to DGND with a high quality, low ESR,
10 μF capacitor. For optimum performance, use a decoupling capacitor with an ESR
specification of less than 400 mΩ. This pin is not for use in circuits external to the AD7768-4.
For 1.8 V IOVDD operation, connect this pin to IOVDD via an external trace to provide
power to the digital processing core.
Digital Supply. This pin sets the logic levels for all interface pins. IOVDD also powers the
digital processing core, via the digital LDO, when IOVDD is at least 2.25 V. For 1.8 V IOVDD
operation, connect this pin to DREGCAP via an external trace to provide power to the
digital processing core.
Synchronization Input. SYNC_IN receives the synchronous signal from SYNC_OUT. It is
used in the synchronization of any AD7768-4 that requires simultaneous sampling or is in
a daisy chain. The user can ignore the START and SYNC_OUT function if the AD7768-4
SYNC_IN pin is connected to the system synchronization pulse. This signal pulse must be
synchronous to the MCLK clock domain.
Start Signal. The START pulse acts to synchronize the AD7768-4 to other devices. The
signal can be asynchronous. The AD7768-4 samples the input and then outputs a
SYNC_OUT pulse. This SYNC_OUT pulse must be routed to the SYNC_IN pin of this device,
and any other AD7768-4 devices that must be synchronized together. This means that the
user does not need to run the ADCs and their digital host from the same clock domain,
which is useful when there are long traces or back planes between the ADC and the
controller. If this pin is not used, it must be tied to a Logic 1 through a pull-up resistor. In a
daisy-chained system of AD7768-4 devices, two successive synchronization pulses must
be applied to guarantee that all ADCs are synchronized. Two synchronization pulses are
also required in a system of more than one AD7768-4 device sharing a single MCLK signal,
where the DRDY pin of only one device is used to detect new data.
Synchronization Output. This pin operates only when the START input is used. When using
the START input feature, the SYNC_OUT must be connected to SYNC_IN via an external
trace. SYNC_OUT is a digital output that is synchronous to the MCLK signal; the synchronization signal driven in on START is internally synchronized to the MCLK signal and is driven
out on SYNC_OUT. SYNC_OUT can also be routed to other AD7768-4 devices requiring
simultaneous sampling and/or daisy-chaining, ensuring synchronization of devices
related to the MCLK clock domain. It must then be wired to drive the SYNC_IN pin on the
same AD7768-4 and on the other AD7768-4 devices.
Reference Input Positive. REF2+ is the positive reference terminal for Channel 2 and
Channel 3. The REF2+ voltage range is from (AVSS + 1 V) to AVDD1. Apply an external
differential reference voltage between REF2+ and REF2− in the range from 1 V to |AVDD1
− AVSS|. Decouple this pin to AVSS with a high quality capacitor, and maintain a low
impedance between this capacitor and Pin 3.
Reference Input Negative. REF2− is the negative reference terminal for Channel 2 and
Channel 3. The REF2− voltage range is from AVSS to (AVDD1 − 1 V). Decouple this pin to
AVSS with a high quality capacitor, and maintain a low impedance between this capacitor
and Pin 3.
Analog Supply Voltage. This pin is 5 V ± 10% with respect to AVSS.
Negative Analog Supply. This pin is nominally 0 V.

Analog LDO Regulator Output. Decouple this pin to AVSS with a 1 μF capacitor.
Analog Supply Voltage. 2 V to 5.5 V with respect to AVSS.
Digital Ground. This pin is nominally 0 V.
Format Selection. Hardwire the FORMAT0 pin to the required value in pin and SPI control
mode. This pin sets the number of DOUTx pins used to output ADC conversion data. The
FORMAT0 pin is checked by the AD7768-4 on power-up, the AD7768-4 then remains in this
data output configuration. See Table 34.
Pin Control/SPI Control. This pin sets the AD7768-4 control method.
Logic 0 = pin control mode for the AD7768-4. Pin control mode allows pin strapped
configuration of the AD7768-4 by tying logic input pins to required logic levels. Tie logic
pins MODE0 to MODE4, DEC0 and DEC1, and FILTER as required for the configuration. See the
Pin Control section for more details.
Logic 1 = SPI control mode for the AD7768-4. Use the SPI control interface signals (CS, SCLK,
SDI, and SDO) for reading and writing to the AD7768-4 memory map.
Clock Select.
Logic 0 = pull this pin low for the CMOS clock option. The clock is applied to Pin 32
(Connect Pin 31 to DGND).
Logic 1 = pull this pin high for the crystal or LVDS clock option. The crystal or LVDS clock is
applied to Pin 31 and Pin 32. The LVDS option is available only in SPI control mode. A write
is required to enable the LVDS clock option.
Common-Mode Voltage Output. This pin outputs (AVDD1 − AVSS)/2 V, which is 2.5 V by
default in pin control mode. Configure this pin to (AVDD1 − AVSS)/2 V, 2.5 V, 2.14 V, or
1.65 V in SP control mode. When driving capacitive loads larger than 0.1 μF, it is
recommended to place a 50 Ω series resistor between the pin and the capacitive load for
stability. The VCM voltage output is associated with the Channel 0 circuitry. If Channel 0 is
put into standby mode, the VCM voltage output is also disabled for maximum power
savings. Channel 0 must be enabled while VCM is being used externally to the AD7768-4.

Negative Analog Input to ADC Channel 0.
Positive Analog Input to ADC Channel 0.

TERMINOLOGY
AC Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (AC CMRR)
AC CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output
at frequency, f, to the power of a sine wave applied to the commonmode voltage of AINx+ and AINx− at frequency, fS.
AC CMRR (dB) = 10log(Pf/PfS)
where:
Pf is the power at frequency, f, in the ADC output.
PfS is the power at frequency, fS, in the ADC output.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 … 000 to 100 … 001) occurs at a
level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−4.0959375 V for
the ±4.096 V range). The last transition (from 011 … 110 to
011 … 111) occurs for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the
nominal full scale (+4.0959375 V for the ±4.096 V range). The
gain error is the deviation of the difference between the actual
level of the last transition and the actual level of the first
transition from the difference between the ideal levels.
Gain Error Drift
Gain error drift is the gain error change due to a temperature
change of 1°C. It is expressed in parts per million per degree
Celsius.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Error
INL error refers to the deviation of each individual code from a
line drawn from negative full scale through positive full scale.
The point used as negative full scale occurs ½ LSB before the
first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level
1½ LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is measured
from the middle of each code to the true straight line.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at the sum and difference frequencies of mfa and nfb,
where m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion
terms are those for which neither m or n are equal to 0. For
example, the second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb),
and the third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa +
2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
The AD7768/AD7768-4 are tested using the CCIF standard,
where two input frequencies near to each other are used. In this
case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in frequency
from the original sine waves, and the third-order terms are
usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies. As a result,
the second-order and third-order terms are specified separately.
The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is as 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.
Least Significant Bit (LSB)
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 as
follows:
LSB (V) = (2 × VREF)/2N
For the AD7768/AD7768-4, VREF is the difference voltage
between the REFx+ and REFx− pins, and N = 24.
Offset Error
Offset error is the difference between the ideal midscale input
voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale
output code.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but
not the linearity of the converter. PSRR is the maximum change
in the full-scale transition point due to a change in the power
supply voltage from the nominal value.
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.
Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SINAD)
SINAD is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to
the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist
frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for
SINAD is expressed in decibels.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference, in decibels, between the rms amplitude
of the input signal and the peak spurious signal (excluding the
first five harmonics).
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first five harmonic
components to the rms value of a full-scale input signal and
is expressed in decibels.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD7768 and AD7768-4 are 8-channel and 4-channel,
simultaneously sampled, low noise, 24-bit ∑-Δ ADCs,
respectively.
CLOCKING, SAMPLING TREE, AND POWER SCALING
Each ADC within the AD7768/AD7768-4 employs a Σ-Δ modulator whose clock runs at a frequency of fMOD. The modulator
samples the inputs at a rate of 2 × fMOD to convert the analog
input into an equivalent digital representation. These samples
therefore represent a quantized version of the analog input signal.
The Σ-Δ conversion technique is an oversampled architecture.
This oversampled approach spreads the quantization noise over
a wide frequency band (see Figure 69). To reduce the quantization
noise in the signal band, the high order modulator shapes the noise
spectrum so that most of the noise energy is shifted out of the
band of interest (see Figure 70). The digital filter that follows the
modulator removes the large out of band quantization noise
(see Figure 71).
For further information on the basics as well as more advanced
concepts of Σ-Δ ADCs, see the MT-022 Tutorial and the
MT-023 Tutorial.
Digital filtering has certain advantages over analog filtering.
First, it is insensitive to component tolerances and the variation
of component parameters over time and temperature. Because
digital filtering on the AD7768/AD7768-4 occurs after the analog
to digital conversion, it can remove some of the noise injected
during the conversion process; analog filtering cannot remove
noise injected during conversion. Second, the digital filter combines low pass-band ripple with a steep roll-off, and high stop
band attenuation, while also maintaining a linear phase response,
which is difficult to achieve in an analog filter implementation.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 include multiple ADC cores. Each of
these ADCs receives the same master clock signal, MCLK. The
MCLK signal can be sourced from one of three options: a CMOS
clock, a crystal connected between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins,
or in the form of an LVDS signal. The MCLK signal received by
the AD7768/AD7768-4 defines the modulator clock rate, fMOD,
and, in turn, the sampling frequency of the modulator of 2 ×
fMOD. The same MCLK signal is also used to define the digital
output clock, DCLK. The fMOD and DCLK internal signals are
synchronous with MCLK.
Figure 72 illustrates the clock tree from the MCLK input to the
modulator, the digital filter, and the DCLK output. There are
divider settings for MCLK and DCLK. These dividers in
conjunction with the power mode and digital filter decimation
settings are key to AD7768/AD7768-4 operation.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have the ability to scale power consumption vs. the input bandwidth or noise desired. The user controls
two parameters to achieve this: MCLK division and power mode.
Combined, these two settings determine the clock frequency of
the modulator (fMOD) and the bias current supplied to each
modulator. The power mode (fast, median, or low power) sets the
noise, speed capability, and current consumption of the modulator.
The power mode is the dominant control for scaling the power
consumption of the ADC. All settings of MCLK division and
power mode apply to all ADC channels.

Although the MCLK division and power modes are independent
settings, there are restrictions that must be adhered to. A valid
range of modulator frequencies exists for each power mode.
Table 11 describes this recommended range, which allows the
device to achieve the best performance while minimizing power
consumption. The AD7768/AD7768-4 specifications do not cover
the performance and function beyond the maximum fMOD for a
given power mode.

Data Sheet
AD7768/AD7768-4
For example, in fast mode, to maximize the speed of conversion
or input bandwidth, an MCLK of 32.768 MHz is required and
MCLK_DIV = 4 must be selected for a modulator frequency of
8.192 MHz.

MCLK = 32.768 MHz
0.036 to 1.024
1.024 to 4.096
4.096 to 8.192
This configuration maximizes the available decimation rate (or
oversampling ratio) for the bandwidth required and MCLK rate
available. The decimation averages the noise from the modulator,
maximizing the dynamic range.
To minimize power, use the following settings:
In SPI control mode, the user can program the power mode,
MCLK divider (MCLK_DIV), and DCLK frequency using
Register 0x04 and Register 0x07 (see Table 42 and Table 45 for
register information for the AD7768 or Table 68 and Table 71 for
the AD7768-4). Independent selection of the power mode and
MCLK_DIV allows full freedom in the MCLK speed selection to
achieve a target modulator frequency.
In pin control mode, the MODEx pins determine the power
mode, modulator frequency, and DCLK frequency. The modulator
frequency tracks the power mode. This means that fMOD is fixed
at MCLK/32 for low power mode, MCLK/8 for median mode,
and MCLK/4 for fast mode (see Table 20).
Example of Power vs. Noise Performance Optimization
Depending on the bandwidth of interest for the measurement,
the user can choose a strategy of either lowest current consumption or highest resolution. This choice is due to an overlap in
the coverage of each power mode. The devices offer the ability
to balance the MCLK division ratio with the rate of decimation
(averaging) set in the digital filter. Lower power can be achieved
by using lower modulator clock frequencies. Conversely, the
highest resolution can be achieved by using higher modulator
clock frequencies and maximizing the amount of oversampling.
As an example, consider a system constraint with a maximum
available MCLK of 16 MHz. The system is targeting a measurement bandwidth of approximately 25 kHz with the wideband
filter, setting the output data rate of the AD7768/AD7768-4 to
62.5 kHz. Because of the low MCLK frequency available and
system power budget, median power mode is used.
In median power mode, this 25 kHz input bandwidth can be
achieved by setting the MCLK division and decimation ratio to
balance, using two configurations. This flexibility is possible in
SPI control mode only.
MCLK = 16 MHz
Median power
fMOD = MCLK/4
MCLK = 16 MHz
Median power
fMOD = MCLK/8
Decimation = ×32 (digital filter setting)
ODR = 62.5 kHz
This configuration reduces the clocking speed of the modulator
and the digital filter.
Compared to Configuration A, Configuration B saves 48 mW
of power. The trade-off in the case of Configuration B is that the
digital filter must run at a 2× lower decimation rate. This 2×
reduction in decimation rate (or oversampling ratio) results in a
3 dB reduction in the dynamic range vs. Configuration A.
Clocking Out the ADC Conversion Results (DCLK)
The AD7768/AD7768-4 DCLK is a divided version of the
master clock input. As shown in Figure 72, the DCLK_DIV
setting determines the speed of the DCLK. DCLK is a
continuous clock.
The user can set the DCLK frequency rate to one of four
divisions of MCLK: MCLK/1, MCLK/2, MCLK/4, and
MCLK/8. Because there are eight channels and 32 bits of data
per conversion, the conversion time and the setting of DCLK
directly determine the number of data output lines that are
required via the FORMAT0 and FORMAT1 pin settings on the
AD7768, or the FORMAT0 pin on the AD7768-4. Thus, the
intended minimum decimation and desired DCLK_DIV setting
must be understood prior to choosing the setting of the
FORMATx pins.
NOISE PERFORMANCE AND RESOLUTION
Table 12 and Table 13 show the noise performance for the
wideband and sinc5 digital filters of the AD7768/AD7768-4 for
various output data rates and power modes. The noise values
and dynamic range specified are typical for the bipolar input
range with an external 4.096 V reference (VREF). The rms noise is
measured with shorted analog inputs, which are driven to
(AVDD1 − AVSS)/2 using the on-board VCM buffer output.
The dynamic range is calculated as the ratio of the rms shorted
input noise to the rms full-scale input signal range.
Dynamic Range (dB) = 20log10((2 × VREF/2√2)/(RMS Noise)
To maximize the dynamic range, use the following settings:
Decimation = ×64 (digital filter setting)
ODR = 62.5 kHz
Configuration B
Control of the settings for power mode, the modulator frequency
and the data clock frequency differs in pin control mode vs. SPI
control mode.
Configuration A
The LSB size with 4.096 V reference is 488 nV, and is calculated
as follows:
LSB (V) = (2 × VREF)/224

measurement solution for ac and dc signal processing.
Flexible filtering allows the AD7768/AD7768-4 to be configured to simultaneously sample ac and dc signals on a per channel
basis. Power scaling allows users to trade off the input bandwidth
of the measurement vs. the current consumption. This ability,
coupled with the flexibility of the digital filtering, allows the
user to optimize the energy efficiency of the measurement,
while still meeting power, bandwidth, and performance targets.
Key capabilities that allow users to choose the AD7768/AD7768-4
as their platform high resolution ADC are highlighted as follows:

POWER SUPPLIES
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have three independent power
supplies: AVDD1 (AVDD1A and AVDD2A), AVDD2
(AVDD2A and AVDD2B), and IOVDD.
The reference potentials for these supplies are AVSS and DGND.
Tie all the AVSS supply pins (AVSS1A, AVSS1B, AVSS2A,
AVSS2B, and AVSS) to the same potential with respect to
DGND. AVDD1A, AVDD1B, AVDD2A, and AVDD2B are
referenced to this AVSS rail. IOVDD is referenced to DGND.
The supplies can be powered within the following ranges:
AVDD1 = 5 V ± 10%, relative to AVSS
AVDD2 = 2 V to 5.5 V, relative to AVSS
IOVDD (with internal regulator) = 2.25 V to 3.6 V, relative
to DGND
IOVDD (bypassing regulator) = 1.72 V to 1.88 V, relative to
DGND
AVSS = −2.75 V to 0 V, relative to DGND
The AVDD1A and AVDD1B (AVDD1) supplies power the analog
front end, reference input, and common-mode output circuitry.
AVDD1 is referenced to AVSS, and all AVDD1 supplies must be
tied to the same potential with respect to AVSS. If AVDD1 supplies
are used in a ±2.5 V split supply configuration, the ADC inputs are
truly bipolar. When using split supplies, reference the absolute
maximum ratings, which apply to the voltage allowed between
AVSS and IOVDD supplies.
The AVDD2A and AVDD2B (AVDD2) supplies connect to
internal 1.8 V analog LDO regulators. The regulators power the
ADC core. AVDD2 is referenced to AVSS, and all AVDD2 supplies
must be tied to the same potential with respect to AVSS. The
voltage on AVDD2 can range from 2 V (minimum) to 5.5 V
(maximum), with respect to AVSS.
IOVDD powers the internal 1.8 V digital LDO regulator. This
regulator powers the digital logic of the ADC. IOVDD also sets
the voltage levels for the SPI interface of the ADC. IOVDD is
referenced to DGND, and the voltage on IOVDD can vary from
2.25 V (minimum) to 3.6 V (maximum), with respect to DGND.
IOVDD can also be configured to run at 1.8 V. In this case, IOVDD
and DREGCAP must be tied together and must be within the
range of 1.72 V (minimum) to 1.88 V (maximum), with respect
to DGND. See the 1.8 V IOVDD Operation section for more
information on operating the AD7768/AD7768-4 at 1.8 V
IOVDD.
Recommended Power Supply Configuration
Analog Devices, Inc., has a wide range of power management
products to meet the requirements of most high performance
signal chains.
An example of a power solution that uses the ADP7118 is shown
in Figure 74. The ADP7118 provides positive supply rails for
optimal converter performance, creating either a single 5 V,
3.3 V, or dual AVDD1x and AVDD2x/IOVDD, depending on
the required supply configuration. The ADP7118 can operate
from input voltages of up to 20 V.

1.8 V IOVDD Operation
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
The AD7768/AD7768-4 contain an internal 1.8 V LDO on the
IOVDD supply to regulate the IOVDD down to the operating
voltage of the digital core. This internal LDO allows the internal
logic to operate efficiently at 1.8 V and the input/output logic to
operate at the level set by IOVDD. The IOVDD supply is rated
from 2.25 V to 3.6 V for normal operation, and 1.8 V for LDO
bypass setup.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have independent paths for reading
data from the ADC conversions and for controlling the device
functionality.

Operation
Users can bypass the LDO by shorting the DREGCAP pin to
IOVDD (see Figure 75), which pulls the internal LDO out of
regulation and sets the internal core voltage and input/output
logic levels to the IOVDD level. When bypassing the internal
LDO, the maximum operating voltage of the IOVDD supply is
equal to the maximum operating voltage of the internal digital core,
which is 1.72 V to 1.88 V.
There are a number of performance differences to consider when
operating at 1.8 V IOVDD. See the 1.8 V IOVDD Specifications
section for detailed specifications while operating at 1.8 V IOVDD.
Analog Supply Internal Connectivity
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have two analog supply rails, AVDD1 and
AVDD2, which are both referred to AVSS. These supplies are
completely separate from the digital pins IOVDD, DREGCAP, and
DGND. To achieve optimal performance and isolation of the
ADCs, more than one device pin supplies these analog rails to the
internal ADCs.
Pin control mode: pin strapped digital logic inputs (which
allows a subset of the configurability options)
SPI control mode: over a 3-wire or 4-wire SPI interface
(complete configurability)
On power-up, the state of the PIN/SPI pin determines the mode
used. Immediately after power-up, the user must apply a soft or
hard reset to the device when using either control mode.
28 29 30 31 32
38 SYNC_OUT
IOVDD
For control, the device can be configured in either of two
modes. The two modes of configuration are
AVSS1A (Pin 3) and AVSS2A (Pin 62) are internally
connected.
AVSS (Pin 54) is connected to the substrate, and is connected
internally to AVSS1B (Pin 46) and AVSS2B (Pin 51).
The following supply and reference input pins are separate
on chip: AVDD1A, AVDD1B, AVDD2A, AVDD2B,
REF1+, REF1−, REF2+, and REF2−.
On the AD7768-4, the following AVSS pins are separate on
chip: Pin 7, Pin 8, Pin 9, Pin 10, Pin 39, Pin 40, Pin 41, and
Pin 42.
The details of which individual supplies are shorted internally are
given in this section for information purposes. In general,
connect the supplies as described in the Power Supplies section.
When operating the device, the data format of the serial interface is determined by the FORMAT0 and FORMAT1 pin settings
on the AD7768, or the FORMAT0 pin on the AD7768-4. Table 33
shows that each ADC can be assigned a DOUTx pin, or,
alternatively, the data can be arranged to share the DOUTx pins in
a time division multiplexed manner. For more details, see the
Data Interface section.
PIN CONTROL
Pin control mode eliminates the need for an SPI communication
interface. When a single known configuration is required by the
user, or when only limited reconfiguration is required, the number
of signals that require routing to the digital host can be reduced
using this mode. Pin control mode is useful in digitally isolated
applications where minimal adjustment of the configuration is
needed. Pin control offers a subset of the core functionality and
ensures a known state of operation after power-up, reset, or a
fault condition on the power supply. In pin control mode, the
analog input precharge buffers are enabled by default for best
performance. The reference input precharge buffers are disabled
in pin control mode.
After any change to the configuration in pin control mode, the
user must provide a sync signal to the AD7768/AD7768-4 by
applying the appropriate pulse to the START pin or SYNC_IN pin
to ensure that the configuration changes are applied correctly to
the ADC and digital filters.
Setting the Filter
The filter function chooses between the two filter settings. In
pin control mode, all ADC channels use the same filter type,
which is selected by the FILTER pin, as shown in Table 16.

Setting the Decimation Rate
The MODEx pins map to 16 distinct settings. The settings are
selected to optimize the use cases of the AD7768/AD7768-4,
allowing the user to reduce the DCLK frequency for lower, less
demanding power modes and selecting either the one-shot or
standard conversion modes.
Pin control mode allows selection from four possible decimation
rates. The decimation rate is selected via the DEC1 and DEC0 pins.
The chosen decimation rate is used on all ADC channels. Table 17
shows the truth table for the DECx pins.
See Table 20 for the complete selection of operating modes that
are available via the MODEx pins in pin control mode.

The power mode setting automatically scales the bias currents
of the ADC and divides the applied MCLK signal to the correct
setting for that mode. Note that this is not the same as using SPI
control, where separate bit fields exist to control the bias currents
of the ADC and MCLK division.
Operating Mode
In pin control mode, the modulator rate is fixed for each power
mode to achieve the best performance. Table 19 shows the
modulator division for each power mode.
The MODE3 to MODE0 pins determine the configuration of all
channels when using pin control mode. The variables controlled by
the MODEx pins are shown in Table 18. The user selects how
much current the device consumes, the sampling speed of the
ADC (power mode), how fast the ADC result is received by the
digital host (DCLK_DIV), and how the ADC conversion is
initiated (conversion operation). Figure 76 illustrates the inputs
used to configure the AD7768 in pin control mode, and Figure 77
illustrates the inputs used to configure the AD7768-4 in pin
control mode.

status header also reports filter not settled, filter type, and filter
saturated signals. Users can determine when to ignore data by
monitoring these error flags. For more information on the status

In the example shown in Table 23, the lowest current consumption

The FORMATx pins are set such that all eight data outputs,
DOUT0 to DOUT7, connect to the FPGA. For the lowest
power, the lowest DCLK frequency is used. The input bandwidth
is set through the combination of selecting decimation by 64
and selecting the wideband filter.

ODR = (32.768 MHz/32) ÷ 64 = 16 kHz
Minimizing the DCLK frequency means selecting DCLK =
MCLK/8, which results in a 4 MHz DCLK signal. The period of
DCLK in this case is 1/4 MHz = 250 ns. The data conversion on
each DOUTx pin is 32 bits long. The conversion data takes 32 ×
250 ns = 8 μs to be output. All 32 bits must be output within the
ODR period of 1/16 kHz, which is approximately 64 μs. In this
case, the 8 μs required to read out the conversion data is well
within the 64 μs between conversion outputs. Therefore, this
combination, which is summarized in Table 23, is viable for use.

Channel Standby
SPI CONTROL
Table 21 and Table 23 show how the user can put channels into
standby mode. Set either ST0 or ST1 to Logic 1 to place banks of
four channels into standby mode. When in standby mode, the
channels are disabled but still hold their position in the output
data stream. The 8-bit header and 24-bit conversion result are
set to all zeros when the ADC channels are set to standby.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have a 4-wire SPI interface that is
compatible with QSPI™, MICROWIRE®, and DSPs. The interface
operates in SPI Mode 0. In SPI Mode 0, SCLK idles low, the
falling edge of CS clocks out the MSB, the falling edge of SCLK
is the drive edge, and the rising edge of SCLK is the sample
edge. This means that data is clocked out on the falling/drive
edge and data is clocked in on the rising/sample edge.
The crystal excitation circuitry is associated with the Channel 4
(Channel 2 on the AD7768-4) circuitry. If Channel 4 (Channel 2
on the AD7768-4) is put into standby mode, the crystal circuitry is
also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 4 must be
enabled while the external crystal is used on the AD7768.
Channel 2 must be enabled while the external crystal is used on
the AD7768-4.

Accessing the ADC Register Map
To use SPI control mode, set the PIN/SPI pin to logic high. The
SPI control operates as a 16-bit, 4-wire interface, allowing read
and write access. Figure 80 shows the interface format between
the AD7768/AD7768-4 and the digital host.
The SPI serial control interface of the AD7768 is an independent
path for controlling and monitoring the AD7768. There is no
direct link to the data interface. The timing of MCLK and
DCLK is not directly related to the timing of the SPI control
interface. However, the user must ensure that the SPI reads and
writes satisfy the minimum t30 specification (see Table 4 and
Table 6) so that the AD7768/AD7768-4 can detect changes to
the register map.
SPI access is ignored during the period immediately after a
reset. Allow the full ADC start-up time after reset (see Table 1)
to elapse before accessing the AD7768/AD7768-4 over the SPI
interface.

SPI Interface Details
SPI Reset Configuration
Each SPI access frame is 16 bits long. The MSB (Bit 15) of the
SDI command is the R/W bit; 1 = read and 0 = write. Bits[14:8]
of the SDI command are the address bits.
After a power-on or reset, the AD7768/AD7768-4 default
configuration is set to the following low current consumption
settings:
The SPI control interface uses an off frame protocol. This means
that the master (FPGA/DSP) communicates with the AD7768/
AD7768-4 in two frames. The first frame sends a 16-bit instruction
(R/W, address, and data) and the second frame is the response
where the AD7768/AD7768-4 send 16 bits back to the master.
During the master write command, the SDO output contains
eight leading zeros, followed by eight bits of data, as shown in
Figure 80.
Figure 79 illustrates the off frame protocol. Register access
responses are always offset by one CS frame. In Figure 79, the
response (read RESP 1) to the first command (CMD 1) is
output by the AD7768/AD7768-4 during the following CS
frame at the same time as the second command (CMD 2) is
being sent.

SPI control offers the superset of flexibility and diagnostics to
the user. The following sections highlight the functionality and
diagnostics offered when SPI control is used.

After any change to these configuration register settings, the

appropriate pulse to the START pin or SYNC_IN pin to ensure
that the configuration changes are applied correctly to the ADC
and digital filters.

SPI Control Interface Error Handling
The AD7768/AD7768-4 SPI control interface detects whether it
has received an illegal command. An illegal command is a write
to a read only register, a write to a register address that does not
exist, or a read from a register address that does not exist. If any
of these illegal commands are received by the AD7768/AD7768-4,
the AD7768/AD7768-4 responds with an error output of 0x0E00.
Channel Configuration
The AD7768 has eight fully differential analog input channels.
The AD7768-4 has four fully differential analog input channels.
The channel configuration registers allow the channel to be
individually configured to adapt to the measurement required
on that channel. Channels can be enabled or disabled using the
channel standby register, Register 0x00. Analog input and
reference precharge buffers can be assigned per input terminal.
Gain, offset, and phase calibration can be controlled on a per
channel basis using the calibration registers. See the Per
Channel Calibration Gain, Offset, and Sync Phase section for
more information.

Channel Modes
Table 25. Channel Mode Selection, Register 0x03
In SPI control mode, the user can set up two channel modes,
Channel Mode A (Register 0x01), and Channel Mode B
(Register 0x02). Each channel mode register can have a specific
filter type and decimation ratio. Using the channel mode select
register (Register 0x03), the user can assign each channel to
either Channel Mode A or Channel Mode B, which maps that
mode to the required ADC channels. These modes allow
different filter types and decimation rates to be selected and
mapped to any of the ADC channels.
Bits
[7:0]
When different decimation rates are selected on different
channels, the AD7768/AD7768-4 output a data ready signal at
the fastest selected decimation rate. Any channel that runs at a
lower output data rate is updated only at that slower rate. In
between valid result data, the data for that channel is set to zero
and the repeated data bit is set in the header status bits to
distinguish it from a real conversion result (see the ADC
Conversion Output: Header and Data section).
On the AD7768, consider Channel Mode A as the primary
group. In this respect, it is recommended that there always be at
least one channel assigned to Channel Mode A. If all eight
channels of the AD7768 are assigned to Channel Mode B,
conversion data is not output on the data interface for any of the
channels. This consideration does not affect the AD7768-4.
On the AD7768-4, it is recommended that Channel Mode A be
set to the sinc5 filter whenever possible. There is a small power
saving in IOVDD current when Channel Mode A is set to the
sinc5 filter compared to setting Channel Mode A to the wideband
filter.
For example, to assign two channels of the AD7768-4 to the
wideband filter, and the remaining two channels to the sinc5
filter, it is recommended to assign the two sinc5 filter channels
to Channel Mode A. Set Channel Mode A to the sinc5 filter, set
Channel Mode B to the wideband filter, and assign the two
wideband filter channels to Channel Mode B. Similarly, to
assign all four channels of the AD7768-4 to wideband filter,
assign all four channels to Channel Mode B. Set Channel Mode
B to the wideband filter, and keep Channel Mode A set to the

Reset over SPI Control Interface
Two successive commands must be written to the AD7768/
AD7768-4 data control register to initiate a full reset of the
device over the SPI interface. This action fully resets all registers
to the default conditions. Details of the commands and their
sequence are shown in Table 44 for the AD7768 or Table 70 for
the AD7768-4.
After a reset over the SPI control interface, the AD7768/AD7768-4
respond to the first command sent to them with 0x0E00. This
response, in addition to the fact that all registers have assumed
their default values, indicates that the software reset succeeded.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode puts the AD7768/AD7768-4 into their lowest power
mode. In sleep mode, all ADCs are disabled and a large portion
of the digital core is inactive.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 SPI remains active and is available to
the user when in sleep mode. Write to Register 0x04, Bit 7 to
exit sleep mode. For the lowest power consumption, select the
sinc5 filter before entering sleep mode.
Channel Standby
For efficient power usage, users can place the selected channels
into standby mode, effectively disabling them, when not in use.
Setting the bits in Register 0x00 disables the corresponding channel
(see Table 38 for the AD7768 or Table 64 for the AD7768-4). For
maximum power savings, switch disabled channels to the sinc5
filter using the channel mode configurations, which disables
some clocks associated with the wideband filters of those
channels.
For highest power savings when disabling channels on the
AD7768-4, set Channel Mode A to the sinc5 filter, and assign
the disabled channels to Channel Mode A, while keeping any
active channels in Channel Mode B.
The VCM voltage output is associated with the Channel 0
circuitry. If Channel 0 is put into standby mode, the VCM
voltage output is also disabled for maximum power savings.
Channel 0 must be enabled while VCM is being used externally
to the AD7768/AD7768-4.
The crystal excitation circuitry is associated with the Channel 4
(Channel 2 on the AD7768-4) circuitry. If Channel 4 (Channel 2
on the AD7768-4) is put into standby mode, the crystal circuitry is
also disabled for maximum power savings. Channel 4 must be
enabled while the external crystal is used on the AD7768.
Channel 2 must be enabled while the external crystal is used on
the AD7768-4.

Data Sheet
AD7768/AD7768-4
The internal modulator frequency (fMOD) that is used by each of
the ADCs in the AD7768/AD7768-4 is derived from the
externally applied MCLK signal. The MCLK division bits allow
the user to control the ratio between the MCLK frequency and
the internal modulator clock frequency. This control allows the
user to select the division ratio that is best for their configuration.
The appropriate clock configuration depends on the power
mode, the decimation rate, and the base MCLK frequency
available in the system. See the Clocking, Sampling Tree section
for further information on setting MCLK_DIV correctly.
MCLK Source Selection
The following clocking options are available as the MCLK input
source in SPI control mode:
LVDS
External crystal
CMOS input MCLK
Setting CLK_SEL to logic low configures the AD7768/AD7768-4
for correct operation using a CMOS clock. Setting CLK_SEL to
logic high enables the use of an external crystal. In SPI control
mode, the FILTER pin must also be set to Logic 1 for operation
of the external crystal.
If CLK_SEL is set to logic high and Bit 3 of Register 0x04 is also
set, the application of an LVDS clock signal to the MCLK pin is
enabled. LVDS clocking is exclusive to SPI control mode and
requires the register selection for operation (see Table 42 for the
AD7768 or Table 68 for the AD7768-4).
The DCLK rate is derived from MCLK. DCLK division (the
ratio between MCLK and DCLK) is controlled in the interface
configuration selection register, Register 0x07 (see Table 45 for
the AD7768 or Table 71 for the AD7768-4).
Interface Configuration
The DCLK rate is a direct division of the MCLK input and can
be controlled using Bits[1:0] of Register 0x07. The minimum
DCLK rate can be calculated as
DCLK (minimum) = Output Data Rate × Channels per
DOUTx × 32 bits
where MCLK ≥ DCLK.
With eight ADCs enabled, an MCLK rate of 32.768 MHz, an ODR
of 256 kSPS, and two DOUTx channels, DCLK (minimum) is
256 kSPS × 4 channels per DOUTx × 32 bits = 32.768 MHz
where DCLK = MCLK/1.
For more information on the status header, CRC, and interface
configuration, see the Data Interface section.
CRC Protection
The AD7768/AD7768-4 can be configured to output a CRC
message per channel every 4 or 16 samples. This function is
available only with SPI control. CRC is enabled in the interface
control register, Register 0x07 (see the CRC Check on Data
Interface section).
ADC Synchronization over SPI
The ADC synchronization over SPI allows the user to request a
synchronization pulse to the ADCs over the SPI interface. To
initiate the synchronization in this manner, write to Bit 7 in
Register 0x06 twice.
First, the user must write a 0, which sets SYNC_OUT low, and
then write a 1 to set the SYNC_OUT logic high again.
The SPI_SYNC command is recognized after the last rising edge of
SCLK in the SPI instruction, where the SPI_SYNC bit is changed
from low to high. The SPI_SYNC command is then output synchronously to the AD7768/AD7768-4 MCLK signal on the
SYNC_OUT pin. The user must connect the SYNC_OUT signal
to the SYNC_IN pin on the PCB.
IOVDD
The data interface is a master output interface, where ADC
conversion results are output by the AD7768/AD7768-4 at a
rate based on the mode selected. The interface consists of a data
clock (DCLK), the data ready (DRDY) framing output, and the
data output pins (DOUT0 to DOUT7 for the AD7768, DOUT0
to DOUT3 for the AD7768-4).

On the AD7768, the interface can be configured to output

On the AD7768-4, the interface can be configured to output
conversion data on one or four of the DOUTx pins. The

The SYNC_OUT pin can also be routed to the SYNC_IN pins of
other AD7768/AD7768-4 devices, allowing simultaneous
sampling to occur across larger channel count systems. Any
daisy-chained system of AD7768/AD7768-4 devices requires that
all ADCs be synchronized.
Rev. B | Page 53 of 105
AD7768/AD7768-4
Data Sheet
In a daisy-chained system of AD7768/AD7768-4 devices, two
successive synchronization pulses must be applied to guarantee
that all ADCs are synchronized. Two synchronization pulses are
also required in a system of more than one AD7768/AD7768-4
device sharing a single MCLK signal, where the DRDY pin of
only one device is used to detect new data.
As per any synchronization pulse present on the SYNC_IN pin,
the digital filters of the AD7768/AD7768-4 are reset by the
SPI_SYNC command. The full settling time of the filters must
then elapse before valid data is output on the data interface.
Analog Input Precharge Buffers
The AD7768/AD7768-4 contain precharge buffers on each
analog input to ease the drive requirements on the external
amplifier. Each analog input precharge buffer can be enabled or
disabled using the analog input precharge buffer registers (see
Table 52 and Table 53 for the AD7768 or Table 78 and Table 79
for the AD7768-4). When writing to these registers, the user
must write the inverse of the required bit settings. For example,
to clear Bit 1 of this register, the user must write 0x01 to the
register. This clears Bit 1 and sets all other bits. If the user reads
the register again after writing 0x01, the data read is 0xFE, as
required.
Reference Precharge Buffers
The AD7768/AD7768-4 contain reference precharge buffers on
each reference input to ease the drive requirements on the
external reference and help to settle any nonlinearity on the
reference inputs. Each reference precharge buffer can be
enabled or disabled using the reference precharge buffer
registers (see Table 54 and Table 55 for the AD7768 or Table 80
and Table 81 for the AD7768-4).
Per Channel Calibration Gain, Offset, and Sync Phase
The user can adjust the gain, offset, and sync phase of the
AD7768/AD7768-4. These options are available only in SPI
control mode. Further register information and calibration
instructions are available in the Offset Registers section, the Gain
Registers section, and the Sync Phase Offset Registers section.
See the Calibration section for information on calibration
equations.
GPIOs
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have five general-purpose input/output
(GPIO) pins available when operating in SPI control mode. For
further information on GPIO configuration, see the GPIO
Functionality section.
SPI CONTROL MODE EXTRA DIAGNOSTIC
FEATURES
RAM Built In Self Test
The RAM built in self test (BIST) is a coefficient check for the
digital filters. The AD7768/AD7768-4 DSP path uses some
internal memories for storing data associated with filtering and
calibration. A user may, if desired, initiate a built in self test (BIST)
of these memories. Normal conversions are not possible while
BIST is running. The test is started by writing to the BIST control
register, Register 0x08. The results and status of the test are
available in the status register, Register 0x09 (see Table 47 for the
AD7768 or Table 73 for the AD7768-4).
Normal ADC conversion is disrupted when this test is run. A
synchronization pulse is required after this test is complete to
resume normal ADC operation.
Revision Identification Number
The AD7768/AD7768-4 contain an identification register that
can be accessed in SPI control mode, the revision identification
register. This register is an excellent way to verify the correct
operation of the serial control interface. Register information is
available in the Revision Identification Register section.
Diagnostic Meter Mode
The diagnostic metering mode can be used to verify the
functionality of each ADC by internally passing a positive fullscale, midscale, or negative full-scale voltage to the ADC. The
user can then read the resulting ADC conversion result to
determine that the ADC is operating correctly. To configure
ADC conversion diagnostics, see the ADC Diagnostic Receive
Select Register section and the ADC Diagnostic Control Register
section.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION

power mode, and Table 42 shows the register information for
the AD7768, and Table 68 shows the register information for
the AD7768-4.
ADC CODE (TWOS COMPLEMENT)
Each ADC channel on the AD7768/AD7768-4 has an identical
signal path from the analog input pins to the data interface.
Figure 83 shows a top level implementation of the core signal
chain. Each ADC channel has its own Σ-Δ modulator that
oversamples the analog input and passes the digital representation
to the digital filter block. The modulator sampling frequency
(fMOD) ranges are explained in the Clocking, Sampling Tree, and
Power Scaling section. The data is filtered, scaled for gain and
offset (depending on user settings), and then output on the data
interface. Control of the flexible settings for the signal chain is
provided by either using the pin control or the SPI control set at
power-up by the state of the PIN/SPI input pin.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 can use up to a 5 V reference and
converts the differential voltage between the analog inputs (AINx+
and AINx−) into a digital output. The analog inputs can be
configured as either differential or pseudo differential inputs. As a
pseudo differential input, either AINx+ or AINx− can be
connected to a constant input voltage (such as 0 V, GND, AVSS,
or some other reference voltage). The ADC converts the voltage
difference between the analog input pins into a digital code on
the output. Using a common-mode voltage of AVDD1/2 for the
analog inputs, AINx+ and AINx−, maximizes the ADC input
range. The 24-bit conversion result is in twos complement, MSB
first, format. Figure 82 shows the ideal transfer functions for the
AD7768/AD7768-4.

The AD7768/AD7768-4 have three selectable power modes. In
pin control mode, the modulator rate and power mode are tied
together for best performance. In SPI control mode, the user
can select the power mode and modulator MCLK divider settings.
The choice of power modes gives more flexibility to control the

the modulator sampling frequency, fMOD, which is derived from
MCLK. By default, the ADC internal sampling capacitors, CS1
and CS2, are driven by a per channel analog input precharge
buffer to ease the driving requirement of the external network.

The analog input precharge buffers reduce the switching kickback
from the sampling stage to the external circuitry. The precharge
buffer reduces the average input current by a factor of eight, and
makes the input current more signal independent, to reduce the
effects of sampling distortion. This reduction in drive requirements
allows pairing of the AD7768/AD7768-4 with lower power, lower
bandwidth front end driver amplifiers such as the ADA4940-1/
ADA4940-2.

The analog input precharge buffers, if enabled, will be enabled for a
set period of time for each Fmod cycle. The period of time is
dependent on the power mode of the AD7761. The precharge
buffer is on for approximately 15 ns in fast mode, 29 ns in median
mode, and 116 ns in low mode. For the initial rough charging of
the switched capacitor network, the bypass switches, BPS 0+
and BPS 0−, remain open during this first phase. For the
remaining phase, the bypass switches are closed, and the fine
accuracy settling charge is provided by the external source. PHI
0 and PHI 1 represent the modulator clock sampling phases that
switch the input signals onto the sampling capacitors, CS1 and
CS2.
Figure 86. Analog Input Current (AIN) vs. Input Voltage, Analog Input
Precharge Buffer On, VCM = 2.5 V, fMOD = 8.192 MHz
The analog input precharge buffers can be turned on/off by means
of a register write to Register 0x11 and Register 0x12 (Precharge
Buffer Register 1 and Precharge Buffer Register 2). When writing
to these registers, the user must write the inverse of the required
bit settings. For example, to clear Bit 1 of this register, the user
must write 0x01 to the register. This clears Bit 1 and sets all other
bits. If the user reads the register again after writing 0x01, the
data read is 0xFE, as required. Each analog input precharge buffer
is selectable per channel. In pin control mode, the analog input
precharge buffers are always enabled for optimum performance.
When the analog input precharge buffers are disabled, the
analog input current is sourced completely from the analog
input source. The unbuffered analog input current is calculated
from two components: the differential input voltage on the
analog input pair, and the analog input voltage with respect to
AVSS. With the precharge buffers disabled, for 32.768 MHz
MCLK in fast mode with fMOD = MCLK/4, the differential input
current is approximately 48 μA/V and the current with respect
to ground is approximately 17 μA/V.
For example, if the precharge buffers are off, with AIN1+= 5 V,
and AIN1− = 0 V, estimate the current in each input pin as
follows:
Rev. B | Page 56 of 105

AD7768/AD7768-4
RC network performs a variety of tasks. C1 and C2 are charge
reservoirs to the ADC, providing the ADC with fast charge
current to the sampling capacitors. Capacitor C3 removes
common-mode errors between the AINx+ and AINx− inputs.
These capacitors, in combination with RIN, form a low-pass
filter to filter out glitches related to the input switching. The
input resistance also stabilizes the amplifier when driving large
capacitor loads and prevents the amplifier from oscillating.
AIN1+ = 5 V × 48 μA/V + 5 V × 17 μA/V = 325 μA
AIN1− = −5 V × 48 μA/V + 0 V × 17 μA/V = −240 μA
When the precharge buffers are enabled, the absolute voltage with
respect to AVSS determines the majority of the current. The
maximum input current of approximately −25 μA is measured
when the analog input is close to either the AVDD1 or AVSS rails.
With either precharge buffers enabled or disabled, the analog
input current scales linearly with the modulator clock rate. The
analog input current versus input voltage is shown in Figure 85.
The optimum driver amplifiers for each of these power,
performance, and supply requirements are as follows:
Full settling of the analog inputs to the ADC requires the use
of an external amplifier. Pair amplifiers such as the ADA4805-2
for low power mode, the ADA4807-2 or ADA4940-1/ADA4940-2
for median mode, and the ADA4807-2 or ADA4896-2 for fast
mode with the AD7768/AD7768-4 (see Figure 87 for details).
Running the AD7768/AD7768-4 in median and low power
modes or reducing the MCLK rate reduces the load and speed
requirements of the amplifier; therefore, lower power amplifiers
can be paired with the analog inputs to achieve the optimum
signal chain efficiency.
The ADA4805-2 is suited for low power, particularly in low
power mode.
The ADA4940-1 is suited for single-supply operation and
is also the recommended fully differential amplifier to
drive the AD7768/AD7768-4.
For optimum performance in fast power mode, the
ADA4896-2 performs best, although the device does not
consume the same power as the ADA4899-1. The
ADA4896-2 is also suitable for a general-purpose DAQ
module, which can be configured for all three power modes.
There is a resistor/capacitor (RC) network between the amplifier
output and the ADC input. Figure 87 shows a typical RC network
used for the AD7768/AD7768-4 for most amplifier pairings. The

In SPI control mode, configure the VCM potential using the
general configuration register (Register 0x05). The output can
be enabled or disabled, and set to (AVDD1 − AVSS)/2, 1.65 V,
2.14 V, or 2.5 V, with respect to AVSS.
The VCM voltage output is associated with the Channel 0
circuitry. If Channel 0 is put into standby mode, the VCM
voltage output is also disabled for maximum power savings.
Channel 0 must be enabled while VCM is being used externally
to the AD7768/AD7768-4.
REFERENCE INPUT
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have two differential reference input
pairs. On the AD7768 REF1+ and REF1− are the reference
inputs for Channel 0 to Channel 3, and REF2+ and REF2− are
for Channel 4 to Channel 7. On the AD7768-4 REF1+ and
REF1− are the reference inputs for Channel 0 and Channel 1,
and REF2+ and REF2− are for Channel 2 and Channel 3. The
absolute input reference voltage range is 1 V to AVDD1 − AVSS.
Like the analog inputs, the reference inputs have a precharge buffer
option. Each ADC has an individual buffer for each REFx+ and
REFx−. The precharge buffers help reduce the burden on the
external reference circuitry.
In pin control mode, the reference precharge buffers are off by
default. In SPI control mode, the user can enable or disable the
reference precharge buffers. In the case of unipolar analog
supplies, in SPI control mode, the user can achieve the best
performance and power efficiency by enabling only the REFx+
buffers. The reference input current scales linearly with the
modulator clock rate.
For 32 MHz MCLK and MCLK/4 fast mode, the differential
input current is ~72 μA/V per channel unbuffered, and
~16 μA/V per channel with the precharge buffers enabled.
With the precharge buffers off, REFx+ = 5 V, and REFx− = 0 V,

CLOCK SELECTION
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have an internal oscillator that is used
for initial power-up of the device. After the AD7768/AD7768-4
have completed their start-up routine, the devices normally
transfer control of the internal clocking to the externally applied
MCLK. The AD7768/AD7768-4 count the falling edges of the
external MCLK over a given number of internal clock cycles to
determine if the clock is valid and at least a frequency of 1.15 MHz.
If there is a fault with the external MCLK, the transfer of control
does not occur, the AD7768/AD7768-4 output an error in the
status header, and the clock error bit is set in the device status
register. No conversion data is output and a reset is required to
exit this error state.
Three clock source input options are available to the AD7768/
AD7768-4: external CMOS, crystal oscillator, or LVDS. The clock
is selected on power-up and is determined by the state of the
CLK_SEL pin.
If CLK_SEL = 0, the CMOS clock option is selected and the
clock is applied to Pin 32 (Pin 31 is tied to DGND).
If CLK_SEL = 1, the crystal or LVDS option is selected and the
crystal or LVDS is applied to Pin 31 and Pin 32. The LVDS
option is available only in SPI control mode. An SPI write to
Bit 3 of Register 0x04 enables the LVDS clock option.
DIGITAL FILTERING
The AD7768/AD7768-4 offer two types of digital filters. In SPI
control mode, these filters can be chosen on a per channel basis.
In pin control mode, only one filter can be selected for all channels.
The digital filters available on the AD7768/AD7768-4 are
Sinc5 low latency filter, −3 dB at 0.204 × ODR
Wideband low ripple filter, −3 dB at 0.433 × ODR
Both filters can be operated in one of six different decimation rates,
allowing the user to choose the optimal input bandwidth and speed
of the conversion versus the desired power mode or resolution.
Sinc5 Filter
With the precharge buffers on, REFx+ = 5 V, and REFx− = 0 V,
REFx± = 5 V × 16 μA/V = 80 μA
For the best performance and headroom, it is recommended to
use a 4.096 V reference such as the ADR444 or the ADR4540.
For the best performance at high sampling rates, it is
recommended to use an external reference drive amplifier such
as the ADA4841-1 or the AD8031. See Figure 88 for the
configuration diagram of the reference connection.

The AD7768/AD7768-4 provide a buffered common-mode
voltage output on Pin 59. This output can bias up analog input
signals. By incorporating the VCM buffer into the ADC, the
AD7768/AD7768-4 reduce component count and board space.
In pin control mode, the VCM potential is fixed to (AVDD1 −
AVSS)/2, and is enabled by default.
Most precision Σ-Δ ADCs use a sinc filter. The sinc5 filter offered
in the AD7768/AD7768-4 enables a low latency signal path
useful for dc inputs, for control loops, or where other specific
postprocessing is required. The sinc5 filter path offers the lowest
noise and power consumption. The sinc5 filter has a −3 dB BW
of 0.204 × ODR. Table 13 contains the noise performance for the
sinc5 filter across power modes and decimation ratios.

Figure 92. Wideband Filter Step Response
Filter Settling Time
The AD7768/AD7768-4 digital filters are resynchronized on the
rising edge of the SYNC_IN signal. Provide this resynchronization
after power-up in pin control mode or SPI control mode, and
after any reconfiguration of the device in SPI control mode,
prior to capturing ADC samples. After the SYNC_IN rising
edge is provided, there is a deterministic delay until the first
new conversion result is available, and until the first settled data
is available. Table 28 and Table 29 provide these delays, measured
in MCLK cycles, for the wideband and sinc5 filters, respectively,
for each possible setting of MCLK_DIV. Each table provides the
delays for configurations where all channels are using the exact
same configuration (Group B unused), and for configurations
where one or more channels have a different decimation rate
applied (Group B is used).

The wideband filter is a very high order digital filter with a
group delay of approximately 34/ODR. After a synchronization
pulse, there is an additional delay from the SYNC_IN rising
edge to fully settled data. The settling times for the AD7768/
AD7768-4 when using the wideband filter are shown in Figure 90.
See Table 12 for the noise performance of the wideband filter
across power modes and decimation rates.

AMPLITUDE (dB)
The wideband filter has a low ripple pass band, within ±0.005 dB
of ripple, of 0.4 × ODR. The wideband filter has full attenuation
at 0.499 × ODR (Nyquist), maximizing antialias protection. The
wideband filter has a pass-band ripple of ±0.005 dB and a stop
band attenuation of 105 dB from Nyquist out to fCHOP. For more
information on antialiasing and fCHOP aliasing, see the
Antialiasing section.

For example, when the channels are configured with the
wideband filter and MCLK_DIV = MCLK/4, with some
channels are assigned to Group A with decimate by 32 and
other channels to Group B with decimate by 64, then the delay
until the first DRDY signal after the SYNC_IN signal is
758 MCLK periods. All active channels output the first data
after 758 MCLK periods. However, due to differing decimation
rates across channels, in this case, the first settled data is
available for the Group A channels 8822 MCLK periods after
the SYNC_IN signal, and after 17,014 MCLK periods for the
Group B channels.

DECIMATION RATE CONTROL
ANTIALIASING
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have programmable decimation rates
for the digital filters. The decimation rates allow the user to reduce
the measurement bandwidth, reducing the speed but increasing the
resolution. When using the SPI control, control the decimation
rate on the AD7768/AD7768-4 through the channel mode registers. These registers set two separate channel modes with a given
decimation rate and filter type. Each ADC is mapped to one of
these modes via the channel mode select register. Table 30 details
both the decimation rates available, and the filter types for selection,
within Mode A and Mode B.
Because the AD7768/AD7768-4 are switched capacitor, discrete
time ADCs, the user may wish to employ external analog antialiasing filters to protect against fold back of out of band tones.
In pin control mode, the decimation ratio is controlled by the
DEC0 and DEC1 pins; see Table 17 for decimation configuration in
pin control mode.

When designing an antialiasing filter for the AD7768/AD7768-4,
three main aliasing regions must be taken into account. After
the alias requirements of each zone are understood, the user can
design an antialiasing filter to meet the needs of the specific
application. The three zones for consideration are related to the
modulator sampling frequency, the modulator chopping frequency, and the modulator saturation point.

Within this section, an out of band tone refers to an input frequency greater than the pass band frequency specification of
the digital filter that is applied at the analog input.

The AD7768/AD7768-4 modulator signal transfer function
includes a notch, at odd multiples of fMOD, to reject tones or
harmonics related to the modulator clock. The modulator itself
attenuate signals at frequencies of fMOD, 3 × fMOD., 5 × fMOD, and
so on. For an MCLK frequency of 32.768 MHz, the attenuation
is approximately 35 dB in fast mode, 41 dB in median mode, and
53 dB in low power mode. Attenuation is increased by 6 dB across
each power mode, with every halving of the MCLK frequency,
for example, when reducing the clock from 32.768 MHz to
16.384 MHz.
The modulator has no rejection to signals that are at frequencies in
zones around 2 × fMOD and all even multiples of fMOD.. Signals at
these frequencies are aliased by the AD7768/AD7768-4. For the
AD7768/AD7768-4, the first of these zones that requires protection is at 2 × fMOD. Because typical switch capacitor, discrete
time Σ-Δ modulators provide no protection to aliasing at the
frequency, fMOD, the AD7768/AD7768-4 provide a distinct
advantage in this regard.
Rev. B | Page 62 of 105
Data Sheet
AD7768/AD7768-4
Figure 93 shows the frequency response of the modulator and
wideband digital filter to out of band tones at the analog input.
Figure 93 shows the magnitude of an alias that is seen in band
vs. the frequency of the signal sampled at the analog input. The
relationship between the input signal and the modulator frequency
is expressed in a normalized manner as a ratio of the input signal
(fIN) to the modulator frequency (fMOD). This data demonstrates the
ADC frequency response relative to out of band tones when using
the wideband filter. The input frequency (fIN) is swept from dc to
20 MHz. In fast mode, using an 8.192MHz fMOD frequency, the
x-axis spans ratios of fIN/fMOD from 0 to 2.44 (equivalent to fIN of
0 Hz to 20 MHz). A similar characteristic occurs in median
mode and low power mode.
The notch appears in Figure 93 with the input frequency (fIN) at
fMOD (designated at fIN/fMOD = 1.00 on the x-axis). An input at this
frequency is attenuated by 35 dB, which adds to the attenuation of
any external antialiasing filter, thus reducing the frequency rolloff requirement of the external filter. If the plot is swept further
in frequency, the notch is seen to recur at fIN/fMOD = 3.00.
The point where fIN = 2 × fMOD (designated on the x-axis at 2.00)
offers 0 dB attenuation, indicating that all signals falling at this
frequency alias directly back into the ADC conversion results,
in accordance with sampling theory.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 wideband digital filter also offers an
added protection against aliasing. Because the wideband filter has
full attenuation at the Nyquist frequency (fODR/2, where fODR =
fMOD/Decimation Rate), input frequencies, and in particular
harmonics of input frequencies, that may fall close to fODR/2, do not
fold back into the pass-band of the AD7768/AD7768-4.

Figure 93 plots two scenarios that relate to the chopping frequency
of the AD7768/AD7768-4 modulators.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 use a chopping technique in the modulator similar to that of a chopped amplifier to remove offset, offset
drift, and 1/f noise. The AD7768/AD7768-4 default chopping
rate is fMOD/32. In pin control mode, the chop frequency is
hardwired to fMOD/32. In SPI control mode, the user can select
the chop frequency to be either fMOD/32 or fMOD/8.
As shown in Figure 93, the stop band rejection of the digital filter is
reduced at frequencies that relate to even multiples of the
chopping frequency (fCHOP). All other out of band frequencies
(excluding those already discussed relating to the modulator clock
frequency fMOD) are rejected by the stop band attenuation of the
digital filter. An out of band tone with a frequency in the range of
(2 × fCHOP ) ± f3dB, where f3dB is the filter bandwidth employed, is
attenuated to the envelope determined by the chop frequency
setting (see Figure 93), and aliased into the pass band. Out of
band tones near additional even multiples of fCHOP (that is, N ×
fCHOP, where N is an even integer), are attenuated and aliased in
the same way.
Chopping at fMOD/32 offers the best performance for noise,
offset, and offset drift for the AD7768/AD7768-4.
For ac performance it may be useful to select chopping at fMOD/8
as this moves the first chopping tone to a higher frequency.
However, chopping at fMOD/8 may lead to slightly degraded
noise (approximately 1 dB loss in dynamic range) and offset
performance compared to the default chop rate of fMOD/32.
Table 31 shows the aliasing achieved by different order
antialiasing filter options at the critical frequencies of fMOD/32
and fMOD/8 for chop aliasing, fMOD/16 for modulator saturation,
and 2 × fMOD for the first zone with 0 dB attenuation. It assumes
the corner frequency of the antialiasing filter is at fMOD/64,
which is just above the maximum input bandwidth that the
AD7768/AD7768-4 digital filter can pass when using a
decimate by 32 filter setting.

Data Sheet
Modulator Saturation Point
A Σ-Δ modulator can be considered a standard control loop,
employing negative feedback. The control loop works to ensure
that the average processed error signal is very small over time. It
uses an integrator to remember preceding errors and force the
mean error to be zero. As the input signal rate of change increases
with respect to the modulator clock, fMOD, a larger voltage feedback
error is processed. Above a certain frequency, the error begins
to saturate the modulator.
For theAD7768/AD7768-4, the modulator may saturate for fullscale input frequencies greater than fMOD/16 (see Figure 94),
depending on the rate of change of input signal, input signal
amplitude, and reference input level. A half power input tone at
fMOD/8 may also cause the modulator to saturate. In applications
where there may be high amplitude and frequency out of band
tones, a first-order antialiasing filter is required with a −3 dB corner
frequency set at fMOD/16 to protect against modulator saturation.
For example, if operating the AD7768/AD7768-4 at full speed
and using a decimation rate of ×32 to achieve an output data rate of
256 kSPS, the modulator rate is equal to 8.192 MHz. In this
instance, to protect against saturation, set the antialiasing filter −3
dB corner frequency to 512 kHz.

Gain Adjustment
Each ADC channel has an associated gain coefficient. The
coefficient is stored in three single-byte registers split up as
MSB, MID, and LSB. Each of the gain registers are factory
programmed. Nominally, this gain is around the value 0x555555
(for an ADC channel). The user may overwrite the gain register
setting. However, after a reset or power cycle, the gain register
values revert to the hard coded programmed factory setting.
Calculate the approximate result that is output using the
following formula:

Sync Phase Offset Adjustment
The AD7768/AD7768-4 have one synchronization signal for all
channels. The sync phase offset register allows the user to vary
the phase delay on each of the channels relative to the synchronization edge received on the SYNC_IN pin.
By default, all ADC channels react simultaneously to the
SYNC_IN pulse. The sync phase registers can be programmed
to equalize known external phase differences on ADC input
channels, relative to one another. The range of phase compensation
is limited to a maximum of one conversion cycle, and the resolution
of the correction depends on the decimation rate in use.

CALIBRATION
In SPI control mode, the AD7768/AD7768-4 offer users the ability
to adjust offset, gain, and phase delay on a per channel basis.
Offset Adjustment
The CHx_OFFSET_MSB, CHx_OFFSET_MID, and CHx_
OFFSET_LSB registers are 24-bit, signed twos complement
registers for channel offset adjustment. If the channel gain setting is
at its ideal nominal value of 0x555555, an LSB of offset register
adjustment changes the digital output by −4/3 LSBs. For example,
changing the offset register from 0 to 100 changes the digital
output by −133 LSBs. Because offset calibration occurs before
gain calibration, the ratio of 4/3 changes linearly with gain
adjustment via the Channel x gain registers (see Table 56 and
Table 57 for the AD7768, or Table 82 and Table 83 for the

Adjusting the sync phase of channels can affect the time to the
first DRDY pulse after the sync pulse, as well as the time to Bit 6
of the header status (filter not settled data bit) being cleared,
that is, the time to settled data.

AD7768/AD7768-4
If all channels are using the Sinc5 filter, the time to the first
DRDY pulse is not affected by the adjustment of the sync phase
offset, assuming that at least one channel has zero sync phase
offset adjustment. If all channels have a nonzero sync phase offset
setting, the time to the first DRDY pulse is delayed according to
the channel that has the least offset applied. Channels with a
sync offset adjustment setting that delays the internal sync signal,
relative to other channels, may not output settled data until
after the next DRDY pulse. In other words, there may be a delay
of one ODR period between the settled data being output by the
AD7768/AD7768-4 for the channels with added phase delay.
If all channels are using the wideband filter, the time to the first
DRDY pulse and the time to settled data is delayed according to
the channel with the maximum phase delay setting. In this case,
the interface waits for the latest channel and outputs data for all
channels when that channel is ready.

with higher DCLK frequencies. For the best offset and offset
drift performance, use the lowest DCLK frequency possible.
The user can choose to reduce the DCLK frequency by an
appropriate selection of MCLK frequency, DCLK divider,
and/or the number of DOUTx lines used. Table 1 and Table 2
give the offset and offset drift specifications for ranges of DCLK
frequency, and Figure 49 shows the typical offset drift over a
range of DCLK frequencies.
SETTING THE FORMAT OF DATA OUTPUT
The data interface format is determined by setting the FORMATx
pins. The logic state of the FORMATx pins are read on powerup and determine how many data lines (DOUTx) the ADC
conversions are output on.
Because the FORMATx pins are read on power-up of the
AD7768 and the device remains in this output configuration,
this function must always be hardwired and cannot be altered
dynamically. Table 33, Figure 95, Figure 96, and Figure 98 show
the formatting configuration for the digital output pins on the
AD7768.

channels share data pins in time
division multiplexed (TDM) output.
DOUT0 and DOUT1 are in use.
All channels output on the DOUT0 pin,
in TDM output. Only DOUT0 is in use.
Therefore, DCLK = MCLK/1.

The AD7768 data is output on the DOUT0 to DOUT7 pins,
depending on the FORMATx pins. The AD7768-4 data is
output on the DOUT0 to DOUT3 pins, depending on the
FORMAT0 pin. The actual structure of the data output for each
ADC result is shown in Figure 99. Each ADC result comprises
32 bits. The first eight bits are the header status bits, which
contain status information and the channel number. The names
of each of the header status bits are shown in Table 35, and their
functions are explained in the subsequent sections. This header
is followed by a 24-bit ADC output in twos complement coding,
MSB first.
The error flagged bit indicates that a serious error has occurred.
If this bit is set, a reset is required to clear this bit. This bit indicates
that the external clock is not detected, a memory map bit has
unexpectedly changed state, or an internal CRC error has been
detected.

In the case where an external clock is not detected, the conversion
results are output as all zeros regardless of the analog input
voltages applied to the ADC channels.
Filter Not Settled
After power-up, reset, or synchronization, the AD7768/AD7768-4
clear the digital filters and begins conversion. Due to the weighting
of the digital filters, there is a delay from the first conversion to
fully settled data. The settling times for the AD7768/AD7768-4
when using the wideband and sinc5 filters are shown in Table 28
and Table 29, respectively. This bit is set if this settling delay has not
yet elapsed.
Repeated Data
If different channels use different decimation rates, data outputs
are repeated for the slower speed channels. In these cases, the
header is output as normal with the repeated data bit set to 1,
and the following repeated ADC result is output as all zeros.
This bit indicates that the conversion result of all zeros is not
real; it indicates that there is a repeated data condition because
two different decimation rates are selected. This condition can
only occur during SPI control of the AD7768/AD7768-4.

Filter Type
In pin control mode, all channels operate using one filter
selection. The filter selected in pin control mode is determined
by the logic level of the FILTER pin. In SPI control mode, the
digital filters can be selected on a per channel basis, using the
mode registers. This header bit is 0 for channels using the
wideband filter, and 1 for channels using the sinc5 filter.
Filter Saturated
The filter saturated bit indicates that the filter output is clipping at
either positive or negative full scale. The digital filter clips if the
signal goes beyond the specification of the filter; it does not wrap.
The clipping may be caused by the analog input exceeding the
analog input range, or by a step change in the input, which may
cause overshoot in the digital filter. Clipping may also occur
when the combination of the analog input signal and the channel
gain register setting cause the signal seen by the filter to be
higher than the analog input range.
Channel ID
The channel ID bits indicate the ADC channel from which the
succeeding conversion data originates (see Table 36).

Data Interface: Standard Conversion Operation
In standard mode operation, the AD7768/AD7768-4 operate as
the master and stream data to the DSP or FPGA. The AD7768/
AD7768-4 supply the data, the data clock (DCLK), and a falling
edge framing signal (DRDY) to the slave device. All of these
signals are synchronous. The data interface connections to
DSP/FPGA are shown in Figure 107. The FORMATx pins
determine how the data is output from the AD7768/AD7768-4.
Figure 100 through Figure 103 show the data interface
operating in standard mode at the maximum data rate. In all
instances, DRDY is asserted one clock cycle before the MSB of
the data conversion is made available on the data pin.
Each DRDY falling edge starts the output of the new ADC
conversion data. The first eight bits output after the DRDY falling
edge are the header bits; the last 24 bits are the ADC conversion
result.
Figure 100, Figure 101, Figure 102, and Figure 103, are distinct
examples of the impact of the FORMATx pins on the AD7768
output operating in standard conversion operation. Figure 104,
Figure 105, and Figure 106show examples of the AD7768-4
interface configuration.
Figure 100 to Figure 103 represent running the AD7768 at
maximum data rate for the three FORMATx options.
Figure 100 shows FORMATx = 00 each ADC has its own data
out pin running at the MCLK/4 bit rate. In pin control mode, this is
achieved by selecting Mode 0xA (fast mode, DCLK = MCLK/4,
standard conversion, see Table 20) with the decimation rate set as
×32.
Figure 101 shows FORMATx = 01 share DOUT1 at the
maximum bit rate. In pin control mode, this is achieved by
selecting Mode 0x8 (fast mode, DCLK = MCLK/1, standard
conversion) with a decimation rate of ×32.
If running in pin control mode, the example shown in Figure 103
represents Mode 0x4 (median mode, DCLK = MCLK/1,
standard conversion) with a decimation rate of ×32, giving the
maximum output data capacity possible on one DOUTx pin.
Figure 102 (AD7768) and Figure 106 (AD7768-4) show examples
of one configuration where there can be long periods in which
no data is output by the AD7768. This configuration depends
on the FORMATx, MCLK, and decimation settings. In Figure 102,
FORMATx = 01, meaning the channels share DOUT0 and
DOUT1. In Figure 106, FORMAT0 = 1, meaning all channels
share the DOUT0 pin. For both Figure 102 and Figure 106,
DCLK = MCLK/4 and the decimation rate is 512.In pin control
mode, this setup is achieved by selecting Mode 0x0A (fast mode,
DCLK = MCLK/4, standard conversion mode). With a decimation
rate of 512, the ratio of ODR to DCLK rate is high enough to
show that only ¼ of the DRDY or ODR period is used with
output data, and the other ¾ of the period DOUTx is low.

Data Interface: One-Shot Conversion Operation
Daisy-Chaining
One-shot mode is available in both SPI and pin control modes.
This conversion mode is available by selecting one of Mode 0xC to
Mode 0xF when in pin control mode. In SPI control mode, set
Bit 4 (one shot) of Register 0x06, the data control register.
Figure 108 shows the device operating in one-shot mode.
Daisy-chaining devices allows numerous devices to use the
same data interface lines by cascading the outputs of multiple
ADCs from separate AD7768/AD7768-4 devices. Only one
ADC device has its data interface in direct connection with the
digital host.
In one-shot mode, the AD7768/AD7768-4 are pseudo slaves.
Conversions occur on request by the master device, for example,
the DSP or FPGA. The SYNC_IN pin initiates the conversion
request. In one-shot mode, all ADCs run continuously; however,
the rising edge of the SYNC_IN pin controls the point in time
from which data is output.
For the AD7768/AD7768-4, this connection can be implemented
by cascading DOUT0 and DOUT1 through a number of devices,
or just using DOUT0; whether two data output pins or only one
data output pin is enabled depends on the FORMATx pins. The
ability to daisy-chain devices and the limit on the number of
devices that can be handled by the chain is dependent on the
power mode, DCLK, and the decimation rate employed.
When the master pulses SYNC_IN and the AD7768/AD7768-4
receive the rising edge of this signal, the digital filter is reset and
the full settling time of the filter elapses before the data is available.
The duration of the settling time depends on the filter path and
decimation rate. Running one-shot mode with the sinc5 filter
allows the fastest throughput, because this filter has a lower
settling time than the wideband filter.
As soon as settled data is available on any channel, the device
outputs data from all channels. The contents of Bit 6 of the channel
header status bits indicates whether the data is fully settled.
The period before the data is settled on all channels (tSETTLE) is
shown in Figure 108. . The settling (tSETTLE ) time for the
AD7768 in one-shot mode is equivalent to the number of clock
cycles specified as “Delay from the First MCLK Rise after
SYNC_IN Rise to Earliest Settled Data, DRDY Rise” in Table 30.
After the data has settled on all channels, DRDY is asserted high
and the device outputs the required settled data on all channels
before DRDY is asserted low. If the user configures the same filter
and decimation rate on each ADC, the data is settled for all
channels on the first DRDY output frame, which avoids a
period of unsettled data prior to the settled data and ensures that
all data is output at the same time on all ADCs. The device then
waits for another SYNC_IN signal before outputting more data.
The maximum usable DCLK frequency allowed when daisychaining devices is limited by the combination of timing
specifications in Table 3 or Table 5, as well as by the propagation
delay of the data between devices and any skew between the MCLK
signals at each AD7768/AD7768-4 device. The propagation delay
and MCLK skew are dependent on the PCB layout and trace
lengths.
This feature is especially useful for reducing component count
and wiring connections, for example, in isolated multiconverter
applications or for systems with a limited interfacing capacity.
When daisy-chaining, on the AD7768, DOUT6 and DOUT7
become serial data inputs, and DOUT0 and DOUT1 remain as
serial data outputs under the control of the FORMATx pins. For
the AD7768-4 the DIN pin is the daisy chain serial data input
pin and DOUT0 is the serial data output pin.

Because all the ADCs are sampling continuously, one-shot mode
affects the sampling theory of the AD7768/AD7768-4. Particularly,
a user periodically sending a SYNC_IN pulse to the device is a
form of subsampling of the ADC output. The subsampling occurs
at the rate of the SYNC_IN pulses. The SYNC_IN pulse must be
synchronous with the master clock to ensure coherent sampling
and to reduce the effects of jitter on the frequency response.

To receive data, the master must pulse the SYNC_IN pin to
reset the filter and force DRDY low. DRDY subsequently goes
high to indicate to the master device that the device has valid
settled data available. Unlike standard mode, DRDY remains
high for the number of clock periods of valid data before it goes
low again; thus, in this conversion mode, it is an active high
frame of the data.
Data Sheet
AD7768/AD7768-4
Figure 109 shows an example of daisy-chaining AD7768 devices,
when FORMATx = 01. In this case, the DOUT0 and DOUT1
pins of the AD7768 devices are cascaded to the DOUT6 and
DOUT7 pins, respectively, of the next device in the chain. Data
readback is analogous to clocking a shift register where data is
clocked on the rising edge of DCLK.
The scheme operates by passing the output data of the DOUT0
and DOUT1 pins of an AD7768 upstream device to the DOUT6
and DOUT7 inputs, respectively, of the next AD7768 device
downstream in the chain. The data then continues through the
chain until it is clocked onto the DOUT0 and DOUT1 pins of
the final downstream device in the chain.
The devices in the chain must be synchronized by using one of
the following methods:
Applying a synchronous signal to the SYNC_IN pin of all
devices in the chain
By routing the SYNC_OUT pin of the first device to the
SYNC_IN pin of that same device and to the SYNC_IN
pins of all other devices in the chain and applying an
asynchronous signal to the START input.
Issuing an SPI_SYNC command over the SPI control
interface.
Figure 109 shows the configuration where an asynchronous
signal is applied to the START pin, and the SYNC_OUT pin of
the first device is connected to the SYNC_IN pins of all devices
in the chain
Daisy chaining can be achieved in a similar manner on the
AD7768 and AD7768-4 when using only the DOUT0 pin. In
this case, only Pin 21 of the AD7768/AD7768-4 is used as the
serial data input pin.
In a daisy-chained system of AD7768/AD7768-4 devices, two
successive synchronization pulses must be applied to guarantee that
all ADCs are synchronized. Two synchronization pulses are also
required in a system of more than one AD7768/AD7768-4 device
sharing a single MCLK signal, where the DRDY pin of only one
device is used to detect new data.
Synchronization
The basic provision for synchronizing multiple devices is that
each device is clocked with the same base MCLK signal and that
the user can provide a synchronization signal to at least one of
the devices by one of the methods described in this section.
The AD7768/AD7768-4 offer three options to allow ease of system
synchronization. Choosing between the options depends on the
system, but is determined by whether the user can supply a
synchronization pulse that is truly synchronous with the base
MCLK signal.
Two synchronization pulses are required in a system of more than
one AD7768/AD7768-4 device sharing a single MCLK signal, to
ensure that all devices are in close phase alignment, or where the
DRDY pin of only one device is used to detect new data.
If the user cannot provide a signal that is synchronous to the
base MCLK signal, one of the following two methods can be
employed:
Apply a START pulse to the first AD7768 or AD7768-4
device. The first AD7768 or AD7768-4 device samples the
asynchronous START pulse and generates a pulse on
SYNC_OUT of the first device related to the base MCLK
signal for distribution locally.
Use synchronization over SPI (only available in SPI control
mode) to write a synchronization command to the first
AD7768 or AD7768-4 device. Similarly to the START pin
method, the SPI sync generates a pulse on SYNC_OUT of
the first device related to the base MCLK signal for
distribution locally.
In both cases, route the SYNC_OUT pin of the first device to the
SYNC_IN pin of that same device and to the SYNC_IN pins of all
other devices that are to be synchronized (see Figure 110). The
SYNC_OUT pins of the other devices must remain open circuit.
Tie all unused START pins to a Logic 1 through pull-up resistors.

The maximum DCLK frequency that can be used when daisychaining devices is a function of the AD7768/AD7768-4 timing
specifications (t4 and t11 in Table 3 and Table 5) and any timing
differences between the AD7768/AD7768-4 devices due to layout
and spacing of devices on the PCB.

If the user can provide a signal that is synchronous to the base
MCLK, this signal can be applied directly to the SYNC_IN pin.
Route the signal from a star point and connect it directly to the
SYNC_IN pin of each AD7768/AD7768-4 device (see Figure 111).
The signal is sampled on the rising MCLK edge; setup and hold
times are associated with the SYNC_IN input are relative to the
AD7768/AD7768-4 MCLK rising edge.
In this case, tie the START pin to Logic 1 through a pull-up
resistor; SYNC_OUT is not used and can remain open circuit.

It is possible to have channels outputting at different rates (for
example decimation by 32 on Channel 0 and decimation by 64 on
Channel 1). In such cases, the CRC header still appears across all
channels at the same time, that is, at every fourth DRDY pulse after
a synchronization. For the channels operating at a relatively slower
ODR, the CRC is still calculated and emitted every 4 or 16 DRDY
cycles, even if this means that the nulled data is included.
Therefore, a CRC is calculated for only nulled samples or for a
combination of nulled samples and actual conversion data.
The following code is a snippet of the C code which shows how
the CRC value can be calculated for a given set of ADC conversion
results. Running this code on sets of 4 or 16 conversion results
gives the CRC value that the AD7768 generatse, per channel. The
user can then compare the computed value from this code to the
actual CRC value read from the AD7768, and so confirm that
the data was read without error.

The AD7768/AD7768-4 use a CRC polynomial to calculate the
CRC message. The 8-bit CRC polynomial used is x8 + x2 + x + 1.

CRC calculation includes the conversion data that is output
immediately after the CRC header.
The CRC register is then cleared back to 0xFF and the
cycle begins again for the fifth to eighth samples after the
synchronization pulse.

The header bits default per the description in Table 35. However,
there is also the option to employ a CRC check on the ADC
conversion data. This functionality is available only when operating
in SPI control mode. The function is controlled by CRC_SELECT
in the interface configuration register (Register 0x07). When
employed, the CRC message is calculated internally by the
AD7768/AD7768-4 on a per channel basis. The CRC then
replaces the 8-bit header every four samples or every 16 samples.
