AD7653
APPLICATION HINTS
BIPOLAR AND WIDER INPUT RANGES
In some applications, it is desirable to use a bipolar or wider
analog input range such as ±10 V, ±5 V, or 0 V to 5 V. Although
the AD7653 has only one unipolar range, simple modifications
of input driver circuitry allow bipolar and wider input ranges to
be used without any performance degradation.
a connection diagram that allows this. Component values
required and resulting full-scale ranges are shown in

When desired, accurate gain and offset can be calibrated by
acquiring a ground and voltage reference using an analog

LAYOUT
The AD7653 has very good immunity to noise on the power
supplies. However, care should still be taken with regard to
grounding layout.
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7653 should be
designed so that the analog and digital sections are separated
and confined to certain areas of the board. This facilitates the
use of ground planes that can be separated easily. Digital and
analog ground planes should be joined in only one place,
preferably underneath the AD7653, or as close as possible to the
AD7653. If the AD7653 is in a system where multiple devices
require analog-to-digital ground connections, the connection
should still be made at one point only, a star ground point that
should be established as close as possible to the AD7653.
Running digital lines under the device should be avoided since
these will couple noise onto the die. The analog ground plane
should be allowed to run under the AD7653 to avoid noise
coupling. Fast switching signals like CNVST or clocks should be
shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other
sections of the board, and should never run near analog signal
paths. Crossover of digital and analog signals should be avoided.
Traces on different but close layers of the board should run at
right angles to each other to will reduce the effect of crosstalk
through the board.
The power supply lines to the AD7653 should use as large a
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and to reduce
the effect of glitches on the power supply lines. Good
decoupling is also important to lower the supply’s impedance
presented to the AD7653, and to reduce the magnitude of the
supply spikes. Decoupling ceramic capacitors, typically 100 nF,
should be placed on each power supply pin—AVDD, DVDD,
and OVDD—close to, and ideally right up against these pins
and their corresponding ground pins. Additionally, low ESR
10 F capacitors should be located near the ADC to further
reduce low frequency ripple.
The DVDD supply of the AD7653 can be a separate supply or
can come from the analog supply AVDD or the digital interface
supply OVDD. When the system digital supply is noisy or when
fast switching digital signals are present, if no separate supply is
available, the user should connect DVDD to AVDD through an
), and the system supply to OVDD and
the remaining digital circuitry. When DVDD is powered from
the system supply, it is useful to insert a bead to further reduce
high frequency spikes.
The AD7653 has five different ground pins: INGND, REFGND,
AGND, DGND, and OGND. INGND is used to sense the analog
input signal. REFGND senses the reference voltage and, because
it carries pulsed currents, should be a low impedance return to
the reference. AGND is the ground to which most internal ADC
analog signals are referenced; it must be connected with the
least resistance to the analog ground plane. DGND must be tied
to the analog or digital ground plane depending on the config-
uration. OGND is connected to the digital system ground.
