GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD7791 is a low power, complete analog front end for  
low frequency measurement applications. It contains a low  
noise 24-bit ∑-∆ ADC with one differential input that can be  
buffered or unbuffered.  
INTERFACE  
3-wire serial  
SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP compatible  
Schmitt trigger on SCLK  
The device operates from an internal clock. Therefore, the user  
does not have to supply a clock source to the device. The output  
data rate from the part is software programmable and can be  
varied from 9.5 Hz to 120 Hz, with the rms noise equal to  
1.1 µV at the lower update rate. The internal clock frequency  
can be divided by a factor of 2, 4, or 8, which leads to a reduc-  
tion in the current consumption. The update rate, cutoff  
frequency, and settling time will scale with the clock frequency.  
APPLICATIONS  
Smart transmitters  
Battery applications  
Portable instrumentation  
Sensor measurement  
Temperature measurement  
Pressure measurement  
Weigh scales  
The part operates with a power supply from 2.5 V to 5.25 V.  
When operating from a 3 V supply, the power dissipation for  
the part is 225 µW maximum. It is housed in a 10-lead MSOP.

1 Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.  
2 See Figure 3 and Figure 4.  
3 These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.  
4 SCLK active edge is falling edge of SCLK.  
5 These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then  
extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus  
relinquish times of the part and, as such, are independent of external bus loading capacitances.  
6 RDY  
RDY  
returns high after a read of the ADC. In single conversion mode and continuous conversion mode, the same data can be read again, if required, while  
is high,  
although care should be taken to ensure that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update. In continuous read mode, the digital word can be read  
only once.

DOUT/RDY Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output.  
DOUT/RDY serves a dual purpose . It functions  
as a serial data output pin to access the out-  
put shift register of the ADC. The output shift  
register can contain data from any of the  
on-chip data or control registers. In addition,  
DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready pin,  
going low to indicate the completion of a  
conversion. If the data is not read after the  
conversion, the pin will go high before the  
next update occurs.  
Table 4. Pin Function Descriptions

SCLK  
Serial Clock Input for Data Transfers to and  
from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitt-  
triggered input, making the interface  
suitable for opto-isolated applications. The  
serial clock can be continuous with all data  
transmitted in a continuous train of pulses.  
Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous  
clock with the information being trans-  
mitted to or from the ADC in smaller  
batches of data.  
The DOUT/RDY falling edge can be used as an  
interrupt to a processor, indicating that valid  
data is available. With an external serial clock,  
the data can be read using the DOUT/RDY pin.  
With CS low, the data/control word informa-  
tion is placed on the DOUT/RDY pin on the  
SCLK falling edge and is valid on the SCLK  
rising edge.  
The end of a conversion is also indicated by  
the RDY bit in the status register. When CS is  
high, the DOUT/RDY pin is three-stated but  
the RDY bit remains active.  
2
CS  
Chip Select Input. This is an active low logic  
input used to select the ADC. CS can be  
used to select the ADC in systems with  
more than one device on the serial bus or as  
a frame synchronization signal in communi-  
cating with the device. CS can be hardwired  
low, allowing the ADC to operate in 3-wire  
mode with SCLK, DIN, and DOUT used to  
interface with the device.

AIN(+)  
Analog Input. AIN(+) is the positive terminal  
of the fully differential analog input.  
10  
DIN  
Serial Data Input to the Input Shift Register  
on the ADC. Data in this shift register is  
transferred to the control registers within  
the ADC, the register selection bits of the  
communications register identifying the  
appropriate register.  
AIN(–)  
Analog Input. AIN(–) is the negative termi-  
nal of the fully differential analog input.  
REFIN(+)  
Positive Reference Input. REFIN(+) can lie  
anywhere between VDD and GND + 0.1 V.  
The nominal reference voltage (REFIN(+) –  
REFIN(–)) is 2.5 V, but the part functions  
with a reference from 0.1 V to VDD  
.

ON-CHIP REGISTERS  
The ADC is controlled and configured via a number of on-chip registers, which are described on the following pages. In the following  
descriptions, set implies a Logic 1 state and cleared implies a Logic 0 state, unless otherwise stated.  
COMMUNICATIONS REGISTER (RS1, RS0 = 0, 0)  
The communications register is an 8-bit write-only register. All communications to the part must start with a write operation to the com-  
munications register. The data written to the communications register determines whether the next operation is a read or write operation,  
and to which register this operation takes place. For read or write operations, once the subsequent read or write operation to the selected  
register is complete, the interface returns to where it expects a write operation to the communications register. This is the default state of  
the interface and, on power-up or after a reset, the ADC is in this default state waiting for a write operation to the communications regis-  
ter. In situations where the interface sequence is lost, a write operation of at least 32 serial clock cycles with DIN high returns the ADC to  
this default state by resetting the entire part. Table 5 outlines the bit designations for the communications register. CR0 through CR7 indi-  
cate the bit location, CR denoting the bits are in the communications register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in  
brackets indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit.

WEN  
Write Enable Bit. A 0 must be written to this bit so that the write to the communications register actually  
occurs. If a 1 is the first bit written, the part will not clock on to subsequent bits in the register. It will stay  
at this bit location until a 0 is written to this bit. Once a 0 is written to the WEN bit, the next seven bits  
will be loaded to the communications register.

Register Address Bits. These address bits are used to select which of the ADC’s registers are being  
selected during this serial interface communication. See Table 6.  
CR3  
CR2  
R/W  
A 0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation will be a write to a specified register. A 1 in this  
position indicates that the next operation will be a read from the designated register.  
CREAD  
Continuous Read of the Data Register. When this bit is set to 1 (and the data register is selected), the  
serial interface is configured so that the data register can be continuously read, i.e., the contents of the  
data register are placed on the DOUT pin automatically when the SCLK pulses are applied. The commu-  
nications register does not have to be written to for data reads. To enable continuous read mode, the  
instruction 001111XX must be written to the communications register. To exit the continuous read  
mode, the instruction 001110XX must be written to the communications register while the RDY pin is  
low. While in continuous read mode, the ADC monitors activity on the DIN line so that it can receive the  
instruction to exit continuous read mode. Additionally, a reset will occur if 32 consecutive 1s are seen on  
DIN. Therefore, DIN should be held low in continuous read mode until an instruction is to be written to  
the device.  
CR1–CR0  
CH1–CH0  
These bits are used to select the analog input channel. The differential channel can be selected  
(AIN(+)/AIN(–)) or an internal short (AIN(–)/AIN(–)) can be selected. Alternatively, the power supply can  
be selected, i.e., the ADC can measure the voltage on the power supply, which is useful for monitoring  
power supply variation. The power supply voltage is divided by 5 and then applied to the modulator for  
conversion. The ADC uses a 1.17 V 5% on-chip reference as the reference source for the analog to  
digital conversion. Any change in channel resets the filter and a new conversion is started.

The mode register is an 8-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to configure the  
ADC for unipolar or bipolar mode, enable or disable the buffer, or place the device into power-down mode. Table 9 outlines the bit desig-  
nations for the mode register. MR0 through MR7 indicate the bit locations, MR denoting the bits are in the mode register. MR7 denotes

Mode Select Bits. These bits select between continuous conversion mode, single conversion mode, and  
standby mode. In continuous conversion mode, the ADC continuously performs conversions and places  
the result in the data register. RDY goes low when a conversion is complete. The user can read these  
conversions by placing the device in continuous read mode whereby the conversions are automatically  
placed on the DOUT line when SCLK pulses are applied. Alternatively, the user can instruct the ADC to  
output the conversion by writing to the communications register. After power-on, the first conversion is  
available after a period 2/ fADC while subsequent conversions are available at a frequency of fADC. In single  
conversion mode, the ADC is placed in power-down mode when conversions are not being performed.  
When single conversion mode is selected, the ADC powers up and performs a single conversion, which  
occurs after a period 2/fADC. The conversion result in placed in the data register, RDY goes low, and the  
ADC returns to power-down mode. The conversion remains in the data register and RDY remains active  
(low) until the data is read or another conversion is performed. See Table 10.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
numbers given are for the bipolar input range with a reference  
of 2.5 V. These numbers are typical and generated with a  
differential input voltage of 0 V. The peak-to-peak resolution  
figures represent the resolution for which there will be no code  
flicker within a six-sigma limit. The output noise comes from  
two sources. The first is the electrical noise in the semiconduc-  
tor devices (device noise) used in the implementation of the  
modulator. The second is quantization noise, which is added  
when the analog input is converted into the digital domain. The  
device noise is at a low level and is independent of frequency.  
The quantization noise starts at an even lower level but rises  
rapidly with increasing frequency to become the dominant  
noise source.  
OVERVIEW  
The AD7791 is a low power ADC that incorporates a ∑-∆  
modulator, a buffer and on-chip digital filtering intended for the  
measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals  
such as those in pressure transducers, weigh scales, and tem-  
perature measurement applications.  
The part has one differential input that can be buffered or  
unbuffered. Buffering the input channel means that the part can  
accommodate significant source impedances on the analog  
input and that R, C filtering (for noise rejection or RFI reduc-  
tion) can be placed on the analog input, if required. The device  
requires an external reference of 2.5 nominal. Figure 12 shows  
the basic connections required to operate the part.

The AD7791 has a current consumption of 160 µA maximum  
when operated with a 5 V power supply, the buffer enabled, and  
the clock operating at its maximum speed. The clock frequency  
can be divided by a factor of 2, 4, or 8 before being applied to  
the modulator and filter, resulting in a reduction in the current  
consumption of the AD7791. Bits CDIV1 and CDIV0 in the  
filter register are used to enter these low power modes (see  
Table 14).  
Figure 12. Basic Connection Diagram  
The output rate of the AD7791 (fADC) is user programmable  
with the settling time equal to 2 × tADC. Normal mode rejection  
is the major function of the digital filter. Table 12 lists the avail-  
able output rates from the AD7791. Simultaneous 50 Hz and  
60 Hz rejection is optimized when the update rate equals  
16.6 Hz as notches are placed at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz with this  
update rate (see Figure 6).  
When the internal clock is reduced, the update rate will also be  
reduced. For example, if the filter bits are set to give an update  
rate of 16.6 Hz when the AD7791 is operated in full power  
mode, the update rate will equal 8.3 Hz in divide by 2 mode. In  
the low power modes, there may be some degradation in the  
ADC performance.

to-peak resolution (rounded to the nearest 0.5 LSB) for the  
different update rates and input ranges for the AD7791. The

DIGITAL INTERFACE  
As previously outlined, the AD7791s programmable functions  
are controlled using a set of on-chip registers. Data is written to  
these registers via the parts serial interface and read access to  
the on-chip registers is also provided by this interface. All com-  
munications with the part must start with a write to the  
communications register. After power-on or reset, the device  
expects a write to its communications register. The data written  
to this register determines whether the next operation is a read  
operation or a write operation and also determines to which  
register this read or write operation occurs. Therefore, write  
access to any of the other registers on the part begins with a  
write operation to the communications register followed by a  
write to the selected register. A read operation from any other  
register (except when continuous read mode is selected) starts  
with a write to the communications register followed by a read  
operation from the selected register.

line returns

high after the first read operation. However, care must be taken  
to ensure that the read operations have been completed before  
the next output update occurs. In continuous read mode, the  
data register can be read only once.  
The serial interface can operate in 3-wire mode by tying

state if the interface gets lost due to a software error or some

AD7791  
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
If the ADC is configured for bipolar mode, the analog input  
range on the AIN(+) input is 0 V to 5 V. The bipolar/unipolar  
option is chosen by programming the B/U bit in the mode  
register.  
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL  
The AD7791 has one differential analog input channel. This is  
connected to the on-chip buffer amplifier when the device is  
operated in buffered mode and directly to the modulator when  
the device is operated in unbuffered mode. In buffered mode  
(the BUF bit in the mode register is set to 1), the input channel  
feeds into a high impedance input stage of the buffer amplifier.  
Therefore, the input can tolerate significant source impedances  
and is tailored for direct connection to external resistive-type  
sensors such as strain gauges or resistance temperature detec-  
tors (RTDs).  
DATA OUTPUT CODING  
When the ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output  
code is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input  
voltage resulting in a code of 00...00, a midscale voltage  
resulting in a code of 100...000, and a full-scale input voltage  
resulting in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog  
input voltage can be represented as  
When BUF = 0, the part is operated in unbuffered mode. This  
results in a higher analog input current. Note that this  
unbuffered input path provides a dynamic load to the driving  
source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on the input  
pins can cause dc gain errors, depending on the output  
impedance of the source that is driving the ADC input. Table 15  
shows the allowable external resistance/capacitance values for  
unbuffered mode such that no gain error at the 20-bit level is  
introduced.  
Code = 2N × (AIN/VREF  
)
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output  
code is offset binary with a negative full-scale voltage resulting  
in a code of 000...000, a zero differential input voltage resulting  
in a code of 100...000, and a positive full-scale input voltage  
resulting in a code of 111...111. The output code for any analog  
input voltage can be represented as  
Code = 2N – 1 × [(AIN/VREF) + 1]  
where AIN is the analog input voltage and N = 24.

The AD7791 has a fully differential input capability for the  
channel. The common-mode range for these differential inputs  
is from GND to VDD. The reference input is unbuffered and,  
therefore, excessive R-C source impedances will introduce gain  
errors. The reference voltage REFIN (REFIN(+) – REFIN(–)) is  
2.5 V nominal, but the AD7791 is functional with reference  
voltages from 0.1 V to VDD. In applications where the excitation  
(voltage or current) for the transducer on the analog input also  
drives the reference voltage for the part, the effect of the low  
frequency noise in the excitation source will be removed  
because the application is ratiometric. If the AD7791 is used  
in a nonratiometric application, a low noise reference should  
be used.  
The absolute input voltage range in buffered mode is restricted  
to a range between GND + 100 mV and VDD – 100 mV. Care  
must be taken in setting up the common-mode voltage so that  
these limits are not exceeded. Otherwise, there will be degrada-  
tion in linearity and noise performance.  
The absolute input voltage in unbuffered mode includes the  
range between GND – 30 mV and VDD + 30 mV as a result of  
being unbuffered. The negative absolute input voltage limit does  
allow the possibility of monitoring small true bipolar signals  
with respect to GND.  
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7791  
include the ADR381 and ADR391, which are low noise, low  
power references. In a system that operates from a 2.5 V power  
supply, the reference voltage source will require some head-  
room. In this case, a 2.048 V reference such as the ADR380 or  
ADR390 can be used, requiring only 300 mV of headroom. Also  
note that the reference inputs provide a high impedance,  
dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each reference  
input is dynamic, resistor/ capacitor combinations on these  
inputs can cause dc gain errors, depending on the output  
impedance of the source that is driving the reference inputs.  
BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR CONFIGURATION  
The analog input to the AD7791 can accept either unipolar or  
bipolar input voltage ranges. A bipolar input range does not  
imply that the part can tolerate negative voltages with respect to  
system GND. Unipolar and bipolar signals on the AIN(+) input  
are referenced to the voltage on the AIN(–) input. For example,  
if AIN(–) is 2.5 V and the ADC is configured for unipolar  
mode, the input voltage range on the AIN(+) pin is 2.5 V to 5 V.

AD7791  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7791 should be  
Reference voltage sources like those recommended above  
(e.g., ADR391) will typically have low output impedances and  
are, therefore, tolerant to having decoupling capacitors on  
REFIN(+) without introducing gain errors in the system.  
Deriving the reference input voltage across an external resistor  
will mean that the reference input sees a significant external  
source impedance. External decoupling on the REFIN pins  
would not be recommended in this type of circuit  
configuration.  
designed such that the analog and digital sections are separated  
and confined to certain areas of the board. A minimum etch  
technique is generally best for ground planes because it gives  
the best shielding.  
It is recommended that the AD7791s GND pin be tied to the  
AGND plane of the system. In any layout, it is important that  
the user keep in mind the flow of currents in the system, ensur-  
ing that the return paths for all currents are as close as possible  
to the paths the currents took to reach their destinations. Avoid  
forcing digital currents to flow through the AGND sections of  
the layout.  
VDD MONITOR  
Along with converting external voltages, the analog input chan-  
nel can be used to monitor the voltage on the VDD pin. When the  
CH1 and CH0 bits in the communications register are set to 1,  
the voltage on the VDD pin is internally attenuated by 5 and the  
resultant voltage is applied to the ∑-∆ modulator using an inter-  
nal 1.17 V reference for analog to digital conversion. This is  
useful because variations in the power supply voltage can be  
monitored.  
The AD7791s ground plane should be allowed to run under the  
AD7791 to prevent noise coupling. The power supply lines to  
the AD7791 should use as wide a trace as possible to provide  
low impedance paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the  
power supply line. Fast switching signals such as clocks should  
be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating noise to other  
sections of the board, and clock signals should never be run  
near the analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog  
signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at  
right angles to each other. This will reduce the effects of  
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT  
Since the analog inputs and reference inputs of the ADC are  
differential, most of the voltages in the analog modulator are  
common-mode voltages. The excellent common-mode rejec-  
tion of the part will remove common-mode noise on these  
inputs. The digital filter will provide rejection of broadband  
noise on the power supply, except at integer multiples of the  
modulator sampling frequency. The digital filter also removes  
noise from the analog and reference inputs, provided that these  
noise sources do not saturate the analog modulator. As a result,  
the AD7791 is more immune to noise interference than a con-  
ventional high resolution converter. However, because the  
resolution of the AD7791 is so high, and the noise levels from  
the AD7791 are so low, care must be taken with regard to  
grounding and layout.  
feedthrough through the board. A microstrip technique is by far  
the best, but it is not always possible with a double-sided board.  
In this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated  
to ground planes, while signals are placed on the solder side.  
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution  
ADCs. VDD should be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in parallel  
with 0.1 µF capacitors to GND. To achieve the best from these  
decoupling components, they should be placed as close as  
possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. All  
logic chips should be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors  
to DGND.

ESD CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on  
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features  
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy  
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance  
degradation or loss of functionality.
