starts the sequence again. The WR input must be kept high to
ensure that the control register is not accidentally overwritten
and the sequence interrupted. This pattern continues until the
AD7933/AD7934 is written to.

REFERENCE
The AD7933/AD7934 can operate with either the on-chip
reference or an external reference. The internal reference is
selected by setting the REF bit in the internal control register to 1.
A block diagram of the internal reference circuitry is shown in
Figure 32. The internal reference circuitry includes an on-chip
2.5 V band gap reference and a reference buffer. When using the
internal reference, decouple the VREFIN/VREFOUT pin to AGND with a
0.47 μF capacitor. This internal reference not only provides the
reference for the analog-to-digital conversion, but it can also be
used externally in the system. It is recommended that the
reference output is buffered using an external precision op amp
before applying it anywhere in the system.

Alternatively, an external reference can be applied to the
VREFIN/VREFOUT pin of the AD7933/AD7934. An external
reference input is selected by setting the REF bit in the internal
control register to 0. The external reference input range is 0.1 V
to VDD. It is important to ensure that, when choosing the
reference value, the maximum analog input range (VIN MAX) is
never greater than VDD + 0.3 V to comply with the maximum
ratings of the device. For example, if operating in differential
mode and the reference is sourced from VDD, the 0 V to 2 × VREF
range cannot be used. This is because the analog input signal
range now extends to 2 × VDD, which exceeds the maximum
rating conditions. In the pseudo differential modes, the user
must ensure that VREF + VIN ≤ VDD when using the 0 V to VREF
range, or when using the 2 × VREF range that 2 × VREF + VIN ≤ VDD.
In all cases, the specified reference is 2.5 V.
The performance of the part with different reference values is
the analog input span and the common-mode voltage range.
Errors in the reference source result in gain errors in the
AD7933/AD7934 transfer function and add to the specified
full-scale errors on the part.
Table 12 lists suitable voltage references available from Analog
Devices that can be used.
Figure 33 shows a typical connection
diagram for an external reference.

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs applied to the AD7933/AD7934 are not
limited by the maximum ratings that limit the analog inputs.
Instead, the digital inputs applied can go to 7 V and are not
restricted by the VDD + 0.3 V limit that is on the analog inputs.
Another advantage of the digital inputs not being restricted by
the VDD + 0.3 V limit is the fact that power supply sequencing
issues are avoided. If any of these inputs are applied before VDD,
there is no risk of latch-up as there would be on the analog inputs
if a signal greater than 0.3 V was applied prior to VDD.
VDRIVE Input
The AD7933/AD7934 have a VDRIVE feature. VDRIVE controls the
voltage at which the parallel interface operates. VDRIVE allows the
ADC to easily interface to 3 V and 5 V processors.
For example, if the AD7933/AD7934 are operated with a VDD
of 5 V, and the VDRIVE pin is powered from a 3 V supply, the
AD7933/AD7934 have better dynamic performance with a
VDD of 5 V while still being able to interface to 3 V processors.
Ensure that VDRIVE does not exceed VDD by more than 0.3 V (see
