separate VDRIVE and VCC supplies can be supplied to the AD7616
(or AD7616-P) via the J8 and J9 connectors, respectively.
The AD7616/AD7616-P can achieve throughput rates up to 1
MSPS per channel pair with 90.5 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
The AD7616/AD7616-P features oversampling capability with a
digital filter that can achieve 92 dB SNR for an oversampling
ratio of 2. The device also features a flexible channel sequencer
with burst mode.
INPUT SIGNALS
The analog input range to the AD7616/AD7616-P is independently selectable with an absolute maximum input voltage
range of ±16.5 V, which must not be exceeded. An input signal in
the range of ±2.5 V, ±5 V, or ±10 V must be connected to the
evaluation board via any of the analog input connecters.
The AD7616 has a flexible parallel/serial interface that is SPI-/
QSPI-/MICROWIRE™-/DSP-compatible whereas the AD7616-P
has a parallel interface only. It also features optional cyclical redundancy check (CRC). The AD7616/AD7616-P comes in an 80-lead

The Samples dropdown menu, Label 12 in Figure 22, selects the
number of samples to acquire per ADC acquisition.
Batch
The Batch dropdown menu, Label 13 in Figure 22, dictates
whether a single batch of samples is gathered, defined by the
Samples dropdown menu, or whether samples are gathered
continuously until the user manually stops acquisition.
Waveform Graph
The data waveform displayed in the data waveform graph, Label 15
in Figure 22, shows each successive sample of the ADC output.
The user can zoom and pan the waveform using the embedded
waveform tools. The user can change the scales on the axes by
typing values into the x-axis and y-axis.
Channel Selection
The checkboxes listed under Label 16 in Figure 22 allow the user
to choose which channels to display on the data waveform
graph. These controls affect the display of the channels on the
graph only and do not have any effect on the channel settings in
the ADC register map.

Display Units and Axis Controls
CRC Value
Label 17 in Figure 22 contains controls to format the waveform
graph. Click the Display Units dropdown menu to select
whether the data graph displays in units of volts or codes. This
affects both the waveform graph and the histogram graph in the
Analysis tab. The axis controls can be switched between
dynamic and fixed.
When CRC is enabled in the Status register, the CRC result is
calculated in the software for the received data and compared
with the CRC result appended to the conversion results. Errors
detected are shown in Label 18 in Figure 22.
When selecting either Y-scale Dynamic or X-scale Dynamic,
the corresponding axis width automatically adjusts to show the
entire range of the ADC results after each batch of samples.
When selecting either Y-scale Fixed or X-scale Fixed, the user
can control the corresponding axis ranges; the ranges do not
adjust after each sample batch.
Waveform Analysis (VA 0)
The Waveform Analysis (VA 0) pane, Label 19 in Figure 22,
displays amplitude, frequency, and noise analysis data for the
selected analysis channel.

Histogram Analysis
The histogram graph is displayed in Label 25, Figure 24. This
graph displays the number of hits per code within the sampled
data. Useful for dc analysis, the histogram indicates noise
performance of the device.
The Histogram Analysis pane, Label 26 in Figure 24, changes
display according to the option selected in the FFT/Histogram
Selection spin box. It provides information related to the dc
performance of the AD7616 or AD7616-P.
