AD7707

Reset Input
The
RESET
input on the AD7707 resets all the logic, the digital
filter and the analog modulator, while all on-chip registers are
reset to their default state.
DRDY
is driven high and the AD7707
ignores all communications to any of its registers while the
RESET
input is low. When the
RESET
input returns high, the
AD7707 starts to process data and
DRDY
will return low in 3
×
1/Output Rate indicating a valid new word in the data register.
However, the AD7707 operates with its default setup conditions
after a
RESET
and it is generally necessary to set up all registers
and carry out a calibration after a
RESET
command.
The AD7707’s on-chip oscillator circuit continues to function
even when the
RESET
input is low. The master clock signal
continues to be available on the MCLK OUT pin. Therefore, in
applications where the system clock is provided by the AD7707’s
clock, the AD7707 produces an uninterrupted master clock
during
RESET
commands.
Standby Mode
The STBY bit in the Communications Register of the AD7707
allows the user to place the part in a power-down mode when it
is not required to provide conversion results. The AD7707
retains the contents of all its on-chip registers (including the
data register) while in standby mode. When released from
standby mode, the part starts to process data and a new word is
available in the data register in 3
×
1/Output rate from when a 0
is written to the STBY bit.
The STBY bit does not affect the digital interface, nor does it
affect the status of the
DRDY
line. If
DRDY
is high when the
STBY bit is brought low, it will remain high until there is a valid
new word in the data register. If
DRDY
is low when the STBY
bit is brought low, it will remain low until the data register is
updated, at which time the
DRDY
line will return high for
500
×
t
CLKIN
before returning low again. If
DRDY
is low when
the part enters its standby mode (indicating a valid unread word
in the data register), the data register can be read while the part
is in standby. At the end of this read operation, the
DRDY
will
be reset high as normal.
Placing the part in standby mode reduces the total current to
9
μ
A typical with 5 V supplies and 4
μ
A with 3 V supplies when
the part is operated from an external master clock provided this
master clock is stopped. If the external clock continues to drive
the MCLK IN pin in standby mode, the standby current in-
creases to 150
μ
A typical with 5 V supplies and 75
μ
A typical
with 3 V supplies. If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the
clock source, the total current in standby mode is 400
μ
A typical
with 5 V supplies and 90
μ
A with 3 V supplies. This is because
the on-chip oscillator circuit continues to run when the part is in
its standby mode. This is important in applications where the
system clock is provided by the AD7707’s clock, so that the
AD7707 produces an uninterrupted master clock even when it is
in its standby mode. The serial interface remains operational
when in standby mode so that data can be read from the output
register in standby, regardless of whether or not the master clock
is stopped.
Accuracy
Sigma-Delta ADCs, like VFCs and other integrating ADCs, do
not contain any source of nonmonotonicity and inherently offer
no missing codes performance. The AD7707 achieves excellent
linearity by the use of high quality, on-chip capacitors, which
have a very low capacitance/voltage coefficient. The device also
achieves low input drift through the use of chopper-stabilized
techniques in its input stage. To ensure excellent performance
over time and temperature, the AD7707 uses digital calibration
techniques that minimize offset and gain error.
Drift Considerations
Charge injection in the analog switches and dc leakage currents
at the sampling modes are the primary sources of offset voltage
drift in the converter. The dc input leakage current is essentially
independent of the selected gain. Gain drift within the converter
depends primarily upon the temperature tracking of the internal
capacitors. It is not affected by leakage currents.
Measurement errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be elimi-
nated at any time by recalibrating the converter. Using the sys-
tem calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors in
the signal conditioning circuitry. Integral and differential linear-
ity errors are not significantly affected by temperature changes.
POWER SUPPLIES
The AD7707 operates with power supplies between 2.7 V and
5.25 V. There is no specific power supply sequence required for
the AD7707, either the AV
DD
or the DV
DD
supply can come up
first. In normal operation the DV
DD
must not exceed AV
DD
by
0.3 V. While the latch-up performance of the AD7707 is good,
it is important that power is applied to the AD7707 before sig-
nals at REFIN, AIN or the logic input pins in order to avoid
excessive currents. If this is not possible, the current that flows
in any of these pins should be limited to less than 100 mA. If
separate supplies are used for the AD7707 and the system digi-
tal circuitry, the AD7707 should be powered up first. If it is not
possible to guarantee this, current limiting resistors should be
placed in series with the logic inputs to again limit the current.
Latch-up current is greater than 100 mA.
