GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7770 is an 8-channel, simultaneous sampling ADC. Eight
full sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) ADCs are on chip. The AD7770 provides
a low input current to allow direct sensor connection. Each input
channel has a programmable gain stage allowing gains of 1, 2, 4,
and 8 to map lower amplitude sensor outputs into the full-scale
ADC input range, maximizing the dynamic range of the signal
chain. The AD7770 accepts a VREF voltage from 1 V up to 3.6 V.
Rev. E
The analog inputs accept unipolar (0 V to VREF) or true bipolar
(±VREF/2) analog input signals with 3.3 V or ±1.65 V analog
supply voltages, respectively for PGAGAIN = 1. The analog inputs
can be configured to accept true differential, pseudo differential,
or single-ended signals to match different sensor output
configurations.
Each channel contains a PGA, an ADC modulator and a
sinc3, low latency digital filter. An SRC is provided to allow fine
resolution control over the AD7770 ODR. This control can be
used in applications where the ODR resolution is required to
maintain coherency with 0.01 Hz changes in the line frequency.
The SRC is programmable through the serial port interface (SPI).
The AD7770 implements two different interfaces: a data output
interface and SPI control interface. The ADC data output interface
is dedicated to transmitting the ADC conversion results from
the AD7770 to the processor. The SPI writes to and reads from
the AD7770 configuration registers and for the control and
reading of data from the SAR ADC. The SPI can also be
configured to output the Σ-Δ conversion data.
The AD7770 includes a 12-bit SAR ADC. This ADC can be
used for AD7770 diagnostics without having to decommission
one of the Σ-Δ ADC channels dedicated to system measurement
functions. With the use of an external multiplexer, which can be
controlled through the three general-purpose input/output pins
(GPIOs), and signal conditioning, the SAR ADC can validate
the Σ-Δ ADC measurements in applications where functional
safety is required. In addition, the AD7770 SAR ADC includes
an internal multiplexer to sense internal nodes.
The AD7770 contains a 2.5 V reference and reference buffer. The
reference has a typical temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C.
The AD7770 offers two modes of operation: high resolution mode
and low power mode. High resolution mode provides a higher
dynamic range while consuming 10.75 mW per channel; low
power mode consumes just 3.37 mW per channel at a reduced
dynamic range specification.
The specified operating temperature range is −40°C to +105°C,
although the device is operational up to +125°C.
Note that throughout this data sheet, certain terms are used to
refer to either the multifunction pins or a range of pins. The multifunction pins, such as DCLK0/SDO, are referred to either by the
entire pin name or by a single function of the pin, for example,
DCLK0, when only that function is relevant. In the case of ranges
of pins, AVSSx refers to the following pins: AVSS1A, AVSS1B,
AVSS2A, AVSS2B, AVSS3, and AVSS4.

AVSSx refers to the following pins: AVSS1A, AVSS1B, AVSS2A, AVSS2B, AVSS3, and AVSS4. This term is used throughout the data sheet.
At temperatures higher than 105°C, the device can be operated normally, though slight degradation on the maximum/minimum specifications is expected because
these specifications are only guaranteed up to 105°C. See the Typical Performance Characteristics section for plots showing the typical performance of the device at
high temperatures.

The SDO pin and the DOUTx pin are configured in the default mode of strength.
4
AVDD1x = 3.3 V, AVSSx = GND = ground, IOVDD = 1.8 V, CMOS clock.
5
Disabling either the VCM pin or the internal reference results in a 40 µA typical current consumption reduction.
6
Power dissipation is calculated using the maximum supply voltage, 3.6 V.

AD7770
TERMINOLOGY
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
CMRR is the ratio of the power in the ADC output of a
100 mV p-p differential input (AINx+ − AINx−), at a fixed
frequency, f = 1 kHz, to the power of a 100 mV p-p sine wave
applied to the common-mode voltage of AINx+ and AINx− at
frequency, fS.
CMRR (dB) = 10 log(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.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) Error
In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential
nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value.
DNL error is often specified in terms of resolution for which no
missing codes are guaranteed.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Error
Integral nonlinearity 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 a level 1½ LSB beyond
the last code transition. The deviation is measured from the middle
of each code to the true straight line.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio of the rms value of the full-scale
input signal to the rms noise measured for an input. The value
for dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Channel to Channel Isolation
Channel to channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk
between channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale frequency
sweep sine wave signal to all seven unselected input channels and
determining how much that signal is attenuated in the selected
channel. The value is given for worst case scenarios across all
eight channels of the AD7770.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fA
and fB, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfA and nfB,
where m, n = 0,1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion
terms are those for which neither m nor n is 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 AD7770 is tested using the CCIF standard,
where two input frequencies near the top end of the input
bandwidth are used. In this case, the second-order terms are
usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves, 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 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.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100 … 000 to 100 … 001) occurs at a
level ½ LSB above nominal negative full scale (−2.49999 V for the
±2.5 V range). The last transition (from 011 … 110 to 011 …
111) occurs for an analog voltage 1½ LSB below the nominal
full scale (2.49999 V for the ±2.5 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 ratio of the gain error change due to a
temperature change of 1°C and the full-scale range (2N). It is
expressed in parts per million.
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
LSB (V) =
2VREF
2N
The LSB referred to the input is
LSB (VIN) =
2 VREF
PGAGAIN
2N
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 + 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 (including
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.
Rev. E | Page 31 of 97
AD7770
Data Sheet
Offset Error
Offset error is the difference between the ideal midscale input
voltage (0 V) and the actual voltage producing the midscale
output code.
Offset Error Drift
Offset error drift is the ratio of the offset error change due to a
temperature change of 1°C and the full-scale code range (2N). It
is expressed in μV/°C.

AD7770
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD7770 is an 8-channel, simultaneously sampling, low
noise, 24-bit Σ-Δ ADC with integrated digital filtering per
channel and SRC.
Due to the high oversampling rate, this technique spreads the
quantization noise from 0 Hz to fCLKIN/2 (in the case of the AD7770,
fCLKIN relates to the external clock); therefore, the noise energy
contained in the band of interest is reduced (see Figure 83). To
further reduce the quantization noise, a high order modulator is
employed to shape the noise spectrum so that most of the noise
energy is shifted out of the band of interest (see Figure 84). The
digital filter that follows the modulator removes the large out of
band quantization noise (see Figure 85).
For more information on basic and advanced concepts of Σ-Δ
ADCs, see the MT-022 Tutorial and MT-023 Tutorial.
Digital filtering has certain advantages over analog filtering.
Because digital filtering occurs after the analog-to-digital
conversion process, it can remove noise injected during the
conversion. Analog filtering cannot remove noise injected
during conversion.

The Σ-Δ ADC starts the conversions of the input signal after the
supplies generated by the internal LDOs become stable. An
external signal is not required to generate the conversions.
ANALOG INPUTS
The AD7770 can be operated in bipolar or unipolar modes and
accepts true differential, pseudo differential, and single-ended
input signals, as shown in Figure 86 through Figure 89.

The AD7770 employs a Σ-Δ conversion technique to convert the
analog input signal into an equivalent digital word. The
overview of the Σ-Δ technique is that the modulator samples
the input waveform and outputs an equivalent digital word at
the input clock frequency, fCLKIN.

The common-mode input signal is not limited, but keep the
absolute input signal voltage on any AINx± pin between AVSSx +
100 mV and AVDD1x − 100 mV; otherwise, the input signal
linearity degrades and, if the signal voltage exceeds the absolute

Figure 92. Top Level Core Signal Chain
CORE SIGNAL CHAIN
Each Σ-Δ ADC channel on the AD7770 has an identical signal path
from the analog input pins to the digital output pins. Figure 92
shows a top level implementation of this signal chain. Prior to
each Σ-Δ ADC, a PGA maps sensor outputs into the ADC inputs,
providing low input current in dc (±8 nA in high resolution
mode) single-ended input current, and ±4 nA differential input
current in high resolution mode), an 8 pF input capacitance in
ac, and configurable gains of 1, 2, 4, and 8. See the AN-1392
Application Note for more information. Each ADC channel has its
own Σ-Δ modulator, which oversamples the analog input and
passes the digital representation to the digital filter block. The
data is filtered, scaled for gain and offset, and is then output on
the data interface.
To minimize power consumption, the channels can be
individually disabled.
for the maximum common-mode voltage at maximum
differential input signals.
INTERNAL REFERENCE AND REFERENCE BUFFERS
The AD7770 integrates a 2.5 V, ±10 ppm/°C typical, voltage
reference that is disabled at power-up. The buffered reference is
available at Pin 49 and offers up to 10 mA of continuous current. A
100 nF capacitor is required if the reference is enabled.
In applications where a low noise reference is required, it is
recommended to add a low-pass filter (LPF) with a cutoff
frequency (fCUTOFF) below 10 Hz to the REF_OUT pin. Connect
the output of this filter to REFx+, and connect AVSSx to REFx−.
In this scenario, configure the Σ-Δ reference to be external by
configuring the reference buffers in enable or precharge mode. An
example of performance with and without the output filter is
shown in Figure 93.

SNR (dB)
The AD7770 uses chopping of the PGA to minimize offset and
offset drift in the input amplifier, reducing the 1/f noise as well.
For the AD7770, the chopping frequency is set to 128 kHz for
high resolution mode, and 32 kHz for low power mode (see the
AN-1392 Application Note for more information). The chopping
tone is rejected by the sinc3 filter.
To minimize intermodulation effects that may cause image in
the band of interest, it is recommended to limit the input signal
bandwidth to 2/3 of the chop frequency.
The capacitive PGA common-mode voltage does not depend on
the gain, and can be any value as long as the input signal voltage
is within AVSSx + 100 mV to AVDD1x − 100 mV. See Figure 90

Each Σ-Δ ADC has a dedicated PGA, offering gain ranges of 1,

full dynamic range of the AD7770. The PGA maximize the
signal chain dynamic range for small sensor output signals.

Figure 94. Clock Generation on the AD7770
The reference buffers can be operated in three different modes:
buffer enabled mode, buffer bypassed mode, and buffer pre-Q
mode.
In buffer enabled mode, the buffer is fully enabled, minimizing
the current requirements from the external references. Note that
the buffer output voltage headroom is ±100 mV from the rails.
In buffer bypassed mode, the external reference is directly
connected to the ADC reference capacitors; the reference must
provide enough current to correctly charge the internal ADC
reference capacitors. In this mode of operation, a slight
degradation in crosstalk is expected because the ADC channels
are not isolated from each other.
Buffer pre-charged (pre-Q) mode is the default operation
mode. It is a hybrid mode where the internal reference buffers are
connected during the initial acquisition time to precharge the
internal ADC reference capacitors. During the final phase of the
acquisition, the reference is connected directly to the ADC
capacitors. This mode has some benefits compared to the buffer
enabled and buffer bypassed modes. In buffer pre-Q mode, the
reference current requirements are minimized compared to
buffer bypassed mode and the noise contribution from the
internal reference buffers is removed (compared to buffer
enabled mode).
In buffer pre-Q mode, the headroom/footroom of the buffer
reference is not applicable because the reference sets the final
voltage in the ADC reference capacitors.
INTEGRATED LDOs
The AD7770 has three internal LDOs to regulate the internal
supplies: two LDOs for the analog block and one LDO for the
digital core. The internal LDOs requires an external 1 μF
decoupling capacitor on the DREGCAP, AREG1CAP, and
the AREG2CAP pins. The LDO slew rate may be low because
it depends on the main supply slew rate; therefore, a hardware
reset generated by pulsing the RESET pin at power-up is required
to guarantee that the digital block initializes correctly.
CLOCKING AND SAMPLING
The AD7770 includes eight Σ-Δ ADC cores. Each ADC receives
the same master clock signal. The AD7770 requires a maximum
external MCLK frequency of 8192 kHz for high resolution mode
and 4096 kHz for low power mode. The MCLK is internally
divided by 4 in high performance mode and by 8 in low power
mode to produce the modulator MCLK (MOD_MCLK) signal
used as the modulator sampling clock for the ADCs. The MCLK
can be decreased to accommodate lower ODRs if the minimum
ODR selected by the sinc3 filter is not low enough. If the external
clock is lower than 256 kHz, set the CLK_QUAL_DIS bit (in
SPI control mode only).
The AD7770 integrates an internal oscillator clock that initializes
the internal registers at power-up. The CLK_SEL pin defines the
external clock used after initialization (see Table 12).

in Figure 94.
DIGITAL RESET AND SYNCHRONIZATION PINS
An external pulse in the SYNC_IN pin generates the internal
reset of the digital block; this pulse does not affect the data
programmed in the internal registers. A pulse in this pin is
required in two cases as follows:
After updating one or more registers directly related to the
sinc3 filter. These are power mode, offset, gain, and phase
compensation.
To synchronize multiple devices.
The pulse in the SYNC_IN pin must be synchronous with MCLK.

AD7770
There are two different ways to achieve a synchronous pulse if
the controller/processor cannot generate it, as follows:
The SYNC_IN and SYNC_OUT pins must be externally
connected if internal synchronization is used.
The digital filter implements three main notches, one at the
maximum ODR (32 kHz or 8 kHz, depending on the power
mode) and another two at the ODR frequency selected to stop
noise aliasing into the pass band.

If multiple AD7770 devices must be synchronized, the

devices. This synchronization method requires the use of a
common MCLK signal for all the AD7770 devices connected,
as shown in Figure 95.
The AD7770 offers a low latency sinc3 filter. Most precision
Σ-Δ ADCs use sinc3 filters because the sinc3 filter offers a low
latency path for applications requiring low bandwidth signals,
for example, in control loops or where application specific
postprocessing is required. The digital filter adds notches at
multiples of the sampling frequency.

Data Sheet
CONTROLLING THE AD7770
The AD7770 can be controlled using either pin control mode or
SPI control mode.
Pin control mode allows the AD7770 to be hardwired to predefined
settings that offer a subset of the overall functionality of the
AD7770. In this mode, the SRC and diagnostic features or
extended errors source are not available.
Controlling the AD7770 over the SPI allows the user access to
the full monitoring, diagnostic, and Σ-Δ control functionality.
SPI control offers additional functionality such
as offset, gain, and phase correction per channel, in addition to
access to the flexible SRC to achieve a coherent sampling.
See Table 13 for more details about these different configurations.
PIN CONTROL MODE
In pin control mode, the AD7770 is configured at power-up
based on the level of the mode pins, MODE0, MODE1, MODE2,
and MODE3. These four pins set the following functions on the
AD7770: the mode of operation, the decimation rate/ODR, the
PGA gain, and the reference source, as shown in Table 14.
Due to the limited number of mode pins and the number of
options available, the PGA gain control is grouped into blocks
of 4, and the ODR is selected for the maximum value defined by
the decimation rate; ODR (kHz) = 2048/decimation for high
resolution mode, and ODR (kHz) = 512/decimation for low
power mode.
Depending on the mode selected, the device is configured to
use an external or an internal reference.
The conversion data can be read back using the SPI or the data
output interface, as shown in Table 13. If the data output interface
is used to read back the data from the conversions, the number of
DOUTx lines enabled and the number of clocks required for
the Σ-Δ data transfer are determined by the logic level of the
CONVST_SAR, FORMAT0, and FORMAT1 pins. In this case,
the DCLK2, DCLK1, and DCLK0 pins select the Σ-Δ output
interface and control the DCLKx divide function, which is a
submultiple of MCLK, as shown in Table 15. The DCLKx divide
function sets the frequency of the data output interface DCLKx
signal. The DCLK minimum frequency depends on the decimation rate and operation mode. See the Data Output Interface
section for more details about the minimum DCLKx frequency.
All the pins that define the AD7770 configuration mode are
reevaluated each time the SYNC_IN pin is pulsed. The typical
connection diagram for pin control mode is shown in Figure 98.

SPI CONTROL
The second option for control and monitoring the AD7770 is via
the SPI. This option allows access to the full functionality on the
AD7770, including access to the SAR converter, phase
synchronization, offset and gain adjustment, diagnostics and
the SRC. To use the SPI control, set the FORMAT0 and
FORMAT1 pins to logic high.
In this mode, the SPI can also read the Σ-Δ conversation data by
setting the SPI_SLAVE_MODE_EN bit.
The typical connection diagram for SPI control mode is shown
in Figure 99.
Functionality Available in SPI Mode
SPI control of the AD7770 offers the super set of the functions
and diagnostics. The SPI Control Functionality section describes
the functionality and diagnostics offered when in SPI control mode.
Offset and Gain Correction
Offset and gain registers are available for system calibration.
The gain register is preprogrammed during final production for
a PGA gain of 1, but can be overwritten with a new value if
required.
The gain register is 24 bits long and is split across three registers,
CHx_GAIN_UPPER_BYTE, CHx_GAIN_MID_BYTE, and
CHx_GAIN_LOWER_BYTE, which set the gain on a per
channel basis. The gain value is relative to 0x555555, which
represents a gain of 1.
The offset register is 24 bits long and is spread across three byte
registers, CHx_OFFSET_UPPER_BYTE, CHx_OFFSET_MID_
BYTE, and CHx_OFFSET_LOWER_BYTE. The default value is
0x000000 at power-up. Program the offset as a twos complement,
signed 24-bit number. If the channel gain is set to its nominal
value of 0x555555, an LSB of offset register adjustment changes
the digital output by −4/3 LSBs.
As an example of calibration, the offset measured is −200 LSB
(with both AINx± pins connected to the same potential).
An offset adjustment of −150 LSB changes the digital output by
−150 × (−4/3) = 200 LSBs (gain value = 0x555555), representing
this number as two complement, 0xFFFFFF − 0x96 + 1 =
0xFFFF70. Program the offset register as follows:
CHx_OFFSET_UPPER_BYTE = 0xFF
CHx_OFFSET_MID_BYTE = 0xFF
CHx_OFFSET_LOWER_BYTE = 0x70
Note that the offset compensation is performed before the gain
compensation. The gain is programmed during final testing for
PGAGAIN = 1. The gain register values can be overwritten; however,
after a reset or power cycle, the gain register values revert to the
hard coded programmed factory setting.
If the gain required is 0.75 of the nominal value (0x555555), the
value that must be programmed is
0x555555 × 0.75 = 0x400000
Then, an LSB of the offset register adjustment changes the
digital output by −4/3 × 0.75 = 1 LSB. Program the gain register
as follows:
Rev. E | Page 40 of 97
CHx_GAIN_UPPER_BYTE = 0x40
CHx_GAIN_MID_BYTE = 0x00
CHx_GAIN_LOWER_BYTE = 0x00

The maximum phase delay cannot be equal to or greater than
the decimation rate. If this is the case, the value changes
internally to the decimation rate value minus 1.
When the CHx_SYNC_OFFSET register is written it automatically
overwrites itself multiplied by the corresponding factor (n), as
defined in Table 16. As CHx_SYNC_OFFSET is only 8 bits
long, the resulting value is scaled down to fit 8 bits. To know
whether the phase adjustment has clipped or not, see Table 17.

As an example, the phase mismatch between Channel 0 and
Channel 1 is 5°, and the ODR is 5 kSPS in high resolution mode. In
this case, the decimation rate is 2048 kHz/5 kHz = 409.6, which
means that the offset register value is multiplied internally by 2.

Assuming an input signal of 50 Hz, the number of MOD_
MCLK pulses required to sample a full period is 2048 kHz/
50 Hz = 40960 > 360°/40960 = 0.00878°.
Phase Adjustment
The AD7770 phase delay can be adjusted to compensate for phase
mismatches between channels due to sensors or signal channel
phase errors connected to the AD7770. Achieve phase adjustment
by programming the CHx_SYNC_OFFSET register. This
programming delays the synchronization signal by a certain
number of modulator clocks (MOD_CLK) to individually initiate
the digital filter for each Σ-Δ ADC. In other words, program the
channel with a higher phase with Phase 0, whereas for the
channel with lower phase, delay to compensate the phase
mismatch.
The phase adjustment register is read after a pulse on the
SYNC_IN pin; consequently, any further changes on the register
have no effect unless a pulse is generated (see the Digital Reset
and Synchronization Pins section for more information on how
to generate a pulse in the pin).
The phase offset register is multiplied internally by a factor (n)
that depends on the decimation rate, as shown in Table 16.
If a 5° delay is required, the number of MOD_MCLK delays
must be 569 (5°/0.00878°) because the offset register is multiplied
by 2; the final offset register value is 409.6/2 − 569/2, which
gives a negative value. In this case, if the offset value programmed
to the register is higher than 204 (for example, 210 × 2 = 420),
the value is internally changed to 408, resulting in a phase
compensation of 408 × 0.00878° = 3.58°.
PGA Gain
The PGA gain can be selected individually by appropriately
selecting Bits[7:6] in the CHx_CONFIG register, as shown in
Table 18.

The decimation defines the sampling frequency as follows:
The AD7770 can operate with internal or external references. In
addition, for diagnostic purposes, the analog supply can be used
as a reference, as shown in Table 19. REFx−/REFx+ allows the
selection of a voltage reference where the REFx+ is lower
voltage than REFx− pin.
In high resolution mode, the sampling frequency =

the SAR ADC. Use this mux to verify the results on the Σ-Δ ADCs.
In addition, the GPIOx pins can be used to externally trigger a
new decimation rate. Refer to the Sample Rate Converter (SRC

The AD7770 offers different power modes to improve the power
efficiency, high resolution and low power mode, which can be
controlled via GENERAL_USER_CONFIG_1, Bit 6. To further
reduce the power, additional blocks can be disabled independently,
as described in Table 21.
If the power mode changes, a pulse on the SYNC_IN pin is
required.

DIGITAL SPI
The SPI serial interface on the AD7770 consists of four signals:
CS, SDI, SCLK, and SDO. A typical connection diagram of the
SPI is shown in Figure 101.
DSP/FPGA
AD7770
In SPI control mode, there are four different levels of I/O strength
on the SDO pin that can be selected in GENERAL_USER_
CONFIG_2, Bits[4:3], as described in Table 24.
CS
SCLK
SDI
The SPI can operate in multiples of eight bits. For example, in
SPI control mode, if the SDO pin is used to read back the data
from the internal register or the SAR ADC, the data frame is 16 bits
wide (CRC disabled), as shown in Figure 102, or 24 bits wide (CRC
enabled), as shown in Figure 103. In this case, the controller can
generate one frame of 16 bits or 24 bits (with and without the
CRC enabled), or 2 or 3 frames of 8 bits (with and without the
CRC enabled). When the SDO pin reads back the data from the
Σ-Δ channels, 64 bits must be read back from the controller (in
this case, the controller can generate a frame of 64 bits—either
2 × 32 bits, 4 × 16 bits, or 8 × 8 bits).
SPI CRC—Checksum Protection (SPI Control Mode)
12538-118
SDO
Figure 101. SPI Control Interface—AD7770 is the SPI Slave, Digital Signal
Processor (DSP)/Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is the Master
The SPI operates in Mode 0 and Mode 3: CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0
(Mode 0) or CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1 (Mode 3).
In pin control mode, the SDO can read back the Σ-Δ results,
depending on the level of the CONVST_SAR pin, as described in
Table 13.
In SPI control mode, the SPI transfers data into the on-chip
registers while the SDO pin reads back data from the on-chip
registers or reads the SAR or the Σ-Δ conversions results,
depending on the selected operation mode.
The AD7770 has a checksum mode that improves SPI
robustness in SPI control mode. Using the checksum ensures
that only valid data is written to a register and allows data read
from the device to be validated. The SPI CRC can be enabled by
setting the SPI_CRC_TEST_EN bit. If an error occurs during a
register write, the SPI_CRC_ERR is set in the error register.
Enabling the SPI_CRC_TEST_EN bit results in a CRC checksum
being performed on all the R/W operations. When SPI_
CRC_TEST_EN is enabled, an 8-bit CRC word is appended
to every SPI transaction for SAR and register map operations.
For more information on Σ-Δ readback operations, see the
CRC Header section.
To ensure that the register write is successful, it is recommended to
read back the register and verify the checksum.
The SDO data source in SPI control mode is defined by the
GENERAL_USER_CONFIG_2 and GENERAL_USER_
CONFIG_3 registers, as described in Table 23.
For CRC checksum calculations, the following polynomial is
always used: x8 + x2 + x + 1. See the SPI Control Mode
Checksum section for more information.

The registers have 7-bit addresses—the 7-bit register address on

8 bits on the SDI line following the 7-bit register address are the
data to be written to the selected register if the SPI is a write

the rising edge of SCLK, as shown in Figure 3.

register address, the 8-bit data, and an 8-bit CRC (if enabled).
To avoid unwanted writes to the internal register while the SAR
conversions are read back through the SDO line, it is recommended to send a readback command, for example, 0x8000,
to the device, which is ignored because the SDO pin shifts out
the content of the SAR ADC.
The data on the SDO line during the SPI transfer contains the
8-bit 0010 0000 header: 8 bits of register data in the case of a read
(R) operation, or 8 zeros in the case of a write (W) operation.
With the CRC disabled, the basic data frame on the SDI line
during the transfer is 16 bits long, as shown in Figure 102.
When the CRC is enabled, a minimum frame length of 24 SCLK
periods are required on SPI transfers. The 24 bits of data on the
SDO line consist of an 8-bit header (0010 0000), 8 bits of data, and
an 8-bit CRC (see Figure 103).
If consecutive conversions are performed in the SAR ADC, read
back the result from the previous conversion before a new
conversion is generated. Otherwise, the results are corrupted.
SPI SAR Diagnostic Mode (SPI Control Mode)
Σ-Δ Data, ADC Mode
Setting Bit 5 in the GENERAL_USER_CONFIG_2 register
configures the SDO line to shift out data from the SAR ADC
conversions, as described in Table 23.
In pin control mode, the SPI can be used to read back the Σ-Δ
conversions as described in Table 13. In SPI control mode, the SPI
reads back the Σ-Δ conversions by setting GENERAL_USER_
CONFIG_3, Bit 4, as described in Table 23; in this mode, the
AD7770 internal register can be written to, but any readback
command is ignored because the SDO data frame is dedicated to
shifting out the conversion results from the Σ-Δ ADCs. To
avoid unwanted writes to the internal register, it is recommended
to send a readback command, for example, 0x8000, to the device,
which is ignored because the SDO pin shifts out the content of
the Σ-Δ ADC.
In SAR mode, the AD7770 internal registers can be written to,
but any readback command is ignored because the SDO data
frame is dedicated to shift out the conversion results from the
SAR ADC.
To exit this mode of operation, reset Bit 5 in the GENERAL_
USER_CONFIG_2 register.
The data on the SDO line during the SPI transfer contains a
4-bit 0010 header and the 12-bit SAR conversion result if the
CRC is disabled.
The SDO pin data can be read back in any multiple of 8 bits, for
example, as 64 bits, 2 × 32 bits, 4 × 16 bits, or 8 × 8 bits. See the
24-bit example in Figure 105.
When the CRC is enabled, a minimum frame length of 24 SCLK
periods are required on SPI transfers. The 24 bits of data on the
SDO line consist of a 4-bit header (0010), the 12-bit data, and
an 8-bit CRC, as shown in Figure 104.
SPI Software Reset
Keeping the SDI pin high during 64 consecutives clocks
generates a software reset.
Per the SPI read/write register mode (see the SPI Read/Write
Register Mode section), the SDI line contains the R/W bit, a 7-bit

RMS NOISE AND RESOLUTION
Table 25 through Table 27 show the dynamic range (DR), rms
noise referred to input (RTI), effective number of bits (ENOB),
and effective resolution (ER) of the AD7770 for various output
data rates and gain settings. The numbers given are for the bipolar
input range with an external 2.5 V reference. These numbers are
typical and are generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V
when the ADC is continuously converting on a single channel.
It is important to note that the effective resolution is calculated
using the rms noise; 16,384 consecutives samples were used to
calculate the rms noise.
Effective Resolution = log2(Input Range/RMS Noise)
ENOB = (DR − 1.78)/6

AD7770
DIAGNOSTICS AND MONITORING
SELF DIAGNOSTICS ERROR
The AD7770 includes self diagnostic features to guarantee the
correct operation. If an error is detected, the ALERT pin is
pulled high to generate an external interruption to the controller.
In addition, the header of the Σ-Δ output data contains an alert
bit that informs the controller of a chip error (see the ADC
Conversion Output—Header and Data section).
the EXT_MCLK_SWITCH_ERR bit is set in the general error
register, GEN_ERR_REG_2.
If EXT_MCLK_SWITCH_ERR is set, the device is operating off
the internal oscillator, and is waiting for an appropriate external
clock.
To use a slow external clock (
