GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
The AD73271 is an 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign successive  
approximation ADC designed on the iCMOS (industrial  
CMOS) process. iCMOS is a process combining high voltage  
silicon with submicron CMOS and complementary bipolar  
technologies. It enables the development of a wide range of high  
performance analog ICs capable of 33 V operation in a footprint  
that no previous generation of high voltage parts could achieve.  
Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS processes, iCMOS  
components can accept bipolar input signals while providing  
increased performance, dramatically reduced power  
1. The AD7327 can accept true bipolar analog input signals,  
±1V, ±± V, ±2V, and ꢀ V to +1ꢀ V unipolar signals.  
2. The eight analog inputs can be configured as eight single-  
ended inputs, four true differential inputs, four pseudo  
differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs.  
3. ±ꢀꢀ kSPS serial interface. SPI®-/QSPI™-/DSP-/MICROWIRE™-  
compatible interface.  
4. Low power, 17 mW, at a maximum throughput rate of  
±ꢀꢀ kSPS.  
consumption, and reduced package size.  
±. Channel sequencer.  
The AD7327 can accept true bipolar analog input signals. The  
AD7327 has four software-selectable input ranges, ±1V, ±± V,  
±2V, and ꢀ V to +1ꢀ V. Each analog input channel can be  
independently programmed to one of the four input ranges.  
The analog input channels on the AD7327 can be programmed  
to be single-ended, true differential, or pseudo differential.

The ADC contains a 2.± V internal reference. The AD7327 also  
allows for external reference operation. If a 3 V reference is  
applied to the REFIN/OUT pin, the AD7327 can accept a true  
bipolar ±12 V analog input. Minimum ±12 V VDD and VSS  
supplies are required for the ±12 V input range. The ADC has a  
high speed serial interface that can operate at throughput rates  
up to ±ꢀꢀ kSPS.

Schottky diodes should be placed in series with the AD7327’s VDD and VSS  
supplies.  
2 Transient currents of up to 100 mA do not cause SCR latch-up.  
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.

Mnemonic Description  
1
CS  
Chip Select. Active low logic input. This input provides the dual function of initiating conversions on  
the AD7327 and frames the serial data transfer.  
2
DIN  
Data In. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the  
AD7327 on the falling edge of SCLK (see the Registers section).  
3, 19  
DGND  
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7327. The DGND and AGND  
voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a  
transient basis.  
4
5
AGND  
Analog Ground. Ground reference point for all analog circuitry on the AD7327. All analog input signals  
and any external reference signal should be referred to this AGND voltage. The AGND and DGND  
voltages ideally should be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a  
transient basis.  
REFIN/OUT Reference Input/Reference Output. The on-chip reference is available on this pin for use external to the  
AD7327. The nominal internal reference voltage is 2.5 V, which appears at this pin. A 680 nF capacitor  
should be placed on the reference pin (see the Reference section). Alternatively, the internal reference  
can be disabled and an external reference applied to this input. On power-up, the external reference  
mode is the default condition.  
6
VSS  
Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the analog input section.  
7, 8, 14, 13, 9,  
10, 12, 11  
VIN0 to VIN7 Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 7. The analog inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold.  
The analog input channel for conversion is selected by programming the Channel Address Bit ADD2  
through Bit ADD0 in the control register. The inputs can be configured as eight single-ended inputs,  
four true differential input pairs, four pseudo differential inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs.  
The configuration of the analog inputs is selected by programming the mode bits, Bit Mode 1 and  
Bit Mode 0, in the control register. The input range on each input channel is controlled by program-  
ming the range registers. Input ranges of 10 V, 5 V, 2.5 V, and 0 V to +10 V can be selected on each  
analog input channel when a +2.5 V reference voltage is used (see the Registers section).  
15  
16  
VDD  
VCC  
Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the analog input section.  
Analog Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.25 V. This is the supply voltage for the ADC core on the AD7327.  
This supply should be decoupled to AGND.  
17  
18  
VDRIVE  
Logic Power Supply Input. The voltage supplied at this pin determines at what voltage the interface  
operates. This pin should be decoupled to DGND. The voltage at this pin may be different to that at VCC  
but it should not exceed VCC by more than 0.3 V.  
,
DOUT  
Serial Data Output. The conversion output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data stream. The bits  
are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input, and 16 SCLKs are required to access the data. The  
data stream consists of three channel identification bits, the sign bit, and 12 bits of conversion data.  
The data is provided MSB first (see the Serial Interface section).  
20  
SCLK  
Serial Clock, Logic Input. A serial clock input provides the SCLK used for accessing the data from the  
AD7327. This clock is also used as the clock source for the conversion process.

TERMINOLOGY  
Differential Nonlinearity  
Negative Full-Scale Error  
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB  
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.  
This applies when using twos complement output coding and  
any of the bipolar analog input ranges. This is the deviation of  
the first code transition (1ꢀ ... ꢀꢀꢀ) to (1ꢀ ... ꢀꢀ1) from the ideal  
(that is, −4 × VREF + 1 LSB, −2 × VREF + 1 LSB, −VREF + 1 LSB)  
after adjusting for the bipolar zero code error.  
Integral Nonlinearity  
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing  
through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function. The  
endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (a point 1 LSB  
below the first code transition) and full scale (a point 1 LSB  
above the last code transition).  
Negative Full-Scale Error Match  
This is the difference in negative full-scale error between any  
two input channels.  
Offset Code Error  
Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time  
This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation  
of the first code transition (ꢀꢀ ... ꢀꢀꢀ) to (ꢀꢀ ... ꢀꢀ1) from the  
ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB.  
The track-and-hold amplifier returns into track mode after the  
14th SCLK rising edge. Track-and-hold acquisition time is the  
time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to  
reach its final value, within ±LSB, after the end of a  
conversion. For the ±2.± V range, the specified acquisition time  
is the time required for the track-and-hold amplifier to settle to  
within ±1 LSB.  
Offset Error Match  
This is the difference in offset error between any two input  
channels.  
Gain Error  
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio  
This applies to straight binary output coding. It is the deviation  
of the last code transition (111 ... 11ꢀ) to (111 ... 111) from the  
ideal (that is, 4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF −1 LSB)  
after adjusting for the offset error.  
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the  
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of  
the fundamental. Noise is the sum of all non-fundamental signals  
up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio  
is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digi-  
tization process. The more levels, the smaller the quantization  
noise. Theoretically, the signal to (noise + distortion) ratio for  
an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by  
Gain Error Match  
This is the difference in gain error between any two input  
channels.  
Bipolar Zero Code Error  
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.ꢀ2 N + 1.76) dB  
This applies when using twos complement output coding and a  
bipolar analog input. It is the deviation of the midscale  
transition (all 1s to all ꢀs) from the ideal input voltage, that is,  
AGND − 1 LSB.  
For a 13-bit converter, this is 8ꢀ.ꢀ2 dB.  
Total Harmonic Distortion  
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the rms sum of  
harmonics to the fundamental. For the AD7327, it is defined as  
Bipolar Zero Code Error Match  
This refers to the difference in bipolar zero code error between  
any two input channels.

V2 +V3 +V4 +V± +V6  
THD(dB) = 2ꢀ log  
V1  
Positive Full-Scale Error  
where V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental, and V2, V3,  
V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second through the  
sixth harmonics.  
This applies when using twos complement output coding and  
any of the bipolar analog input ranges. It is the deviation of the  
last code transition (ꢀ11…11ꢀ) to (ꢀ11…111) from the ideal  
(4 × VREF − 1 LSB, 2 × VREF − 1 LSB, VREF − 1 LSB) after  
adjusting for the bipolar zero code error.  
Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise  
Peak harmonic or spurious noise is defined as the ratio of the  
rms value of the next largest component in the ADC output  
spectrum (up to fS/2, excluding dc) to the rms value of the  
fundamental. Normally, the value of this specification is  
determined by the largest harmonic in the spectrum, but for  
ADCs where the harmonics are buried in the noise floor, the  
largest harmonic could be a noise peak.  
Positive Full-Scale Error Match  
This is the difference in positive full-scale error between any  
two input channels.

terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.  
As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified  
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is  
per the THD specification, where it is the ratio of the rms sum  
of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of  
the sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels.  
Channel-to-Channel Isolation  
Channel-to-channel isolation is a measure of the level of crosstalk  
between any two channels. It is measured by applying a full-scale,  
1ꢀꢀ kHz sine wave signal to all unselected input channels and  
determining the degree to which the signal attenuates in the  
selected channel with a ±ꢀ kHz signal. Figure 14 shows the worst-  
case across all eight channels for the AD7327. The analog input  
range is programmed to be the same on all channels.  
PSR (Power Supply Rejection)  
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but  
not the linearity of the converter. Power supply rejection is the  
maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a  
change in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the  
Typical Performance Characteristics section).  
Intermodulation Distortion  
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and  
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion products  
at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m, n = ꢀ,  
1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms are those  
for which neither m nor n are equal to ꢀ. For example, the  
second-order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), whereas the  
third-order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and  
(fa − 2fb).  
CMRR (Common-Mode Rejection Ratio)  
CMRR is defined as the ratio of the power in the ADC output at  
full-scale frequency, f, to the power of a 1ꢀꢀ mV sine wave  
applied to the common-mode voltage of the VIN+ and VIN−  
frequency, fS, as  
The AD7327 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input  
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.  
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in  
frequency from the original sine waves, whereas the third-order  
CMRR (dB) = 1ꢀ log (Pf/PfS)  
where Pf is the power at frequency f in the ADC output, and PfS  
is the power at frequency fS in the ADC output (see Figure 17).

AD7327  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The analog inputs can be configured as eight single-ended  
inputs, four true differential inputs, four pseudo differential  
inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. Selection can be  
made by programming the mode bits, Mode ꢀ and Mode 1, in  
the control register.  
CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
The AD7327 is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign, bipolar input,  
serial A/D converter. The AD7327 can accept bipolar input  
ranges that include ±1V, ±± V, and ±2.± V; it can also accept a  
ꢀ V to +1ꢀ V unipolar input range. A different analog input  
range can be programmed on each analog input channel via the  
on-chip registers. The AD7327 has a high speed serial interface  
that can operate at throughput rates up to ±ꢀꢀ kSPS.  
The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides  
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The  
AD7327 has an on-chip 2.± V reference. However, the AD7327  
can also work with an external reference. On power-up, the  
external reference operation is the default option. If the internal  
reference is the preferred option, the user must write to the  
reference bit in the control register to select the internal  
reference operation.  
The AD7327 requires VDD and VSS dual supplies for the high  
voltage analog input structures. These supplies must be equal to  
or greater than the analog input range. See Table 6 for the  
requirements of these supplies for each analog input range. The  
AD7327 requires a low voltage 2.7 V to ±.2± V VCC supply to  
power the ADC core.  
The AD7327 also features power-down options to allow power  
savings between conversions. The power-down modes are  
selected by programming the on-chip control register, as  
described in the Modes of Operation section.

The AD7327 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital  
converter built around two capacitive DACs. Figure 23 and  
Figure 24 show simplified schematics of the ADC in single-  
ended mode during the acquisition and conversion phases,  
respectively. Figure 2± and Figure 26 show simplified  
schematics of the ADC in differential mode during acquisition  
and conversion phases, respectively. The ADC is composed of  
control logic, a SAR, and capacitive DACs. In Figure 23 (the  
acquisition phase), SW2 is closed and SW1 is in Position A, the  
comparator is held in a balanced condition, and the sampling  
capacitor array acquires the signal on the input.

It may be necessary to decrease the throughput rate when the  
AD7327 is configured with the minimum VDD and VSS supplies  
in order to meet the performance specifications (see the Typical  
Performance Characteristics section). Figure 31 shows the  
change in THD as the VDD and VSS supplies are reduced. For ac  
performance at the maximum throughput rate, the THD degrades  
slightly as VDD and VSS are reduced. It might therefore be necessary  
to reduce the throughput rate when using minimum VDD and

When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 24), SW2 opens and

the capacitive DAC to bring the comparator back into a  
balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the  
conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC  
output code.  
VSS supplies so that there is less degradation of THD and the  
specified performance can be maintained. The degradation is  
due to an increase in the on resistance of the input multiplexer  
when the VDD and VSS supplies are reduced. Figure 18 and  
Figure 19 show the change in INL and DNL as the VDD and VSS  
voltages are varied. For dc performance when operating at the  
maximum throughput rate, as the VDD and VSS supply voltages  
are reduced, the typical INL and DNL error remains constant.

The analog inputs of the AD7327 can be configured as single-  
ended, true differential, or pseudo differential via the control  
register mode bits (see Table 9). The AD7327 can accept true  
bipolar input signals. On power-up, the analog inputs operate as  
eight single-ended analog input channels. If true differential or  
pseudo differential is required, a write to the control register is  
necessary after power-up to change this configuration.  
Figure 26. ADC Differential Configuration During Conversion Phase  
Output Coding  
The AD7327 default output coding is set to twos complement.  
The output coding is controlled by the coding bit in the control  
register. To change the output coding to straight binary coding,  
the coding bit in the control register must be set. When  
operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each  
channel in the sequence is the value written to the coding bit  
during the last write to the control register.  
Figure 29 shows the equivalent analog input circuit of the  
AD7327 in single-ended mode. Figure 3ꢀ shows the equivalent  
analog input structure in differential mode. The two diodes  
provide ESD protection for the analog inputs.

Unlike other bipolar ADCs, the AD7327 does not have a  
resistive analog input structure. On the AD7327, the bipolar  
analog signal is sampled directly onto the sampling capacitor.  
This gives the AD7327 high analog input impedance. An  
approximation for the analog input impedance can be  
calculated from the following formula:  
CS  
rising edge after the  
falling edge. The time required to  
acquire an input signal depends on how quickly the sampling  
capacitor is charged. With ꢀ source impedance, 3ꢀ± ns is  
sufficient to acquire the signal to the 13-bit level. The  
acquisition time required is calculated using the following  
formula:  
Z = 1/(fS × CS)  
t
ACQ = 1ꢀ × ((RSOURCE + R) C)  
where fS is the sampling frequency, and CS is the sampling  
capacitor value.  
where C is the sampling capacitance, and R is the resistance  
seen by the track-and-hold amplifier looking back on the input.  
CS depends on the analog input range chosen (see the  
Specifications section). When operating at ±ꢀꢀ kSPS, the analog  
input impedance is typically 14± kꢂ for the ±1ꢀ V range. As the  
sampling frequency is reduced, the analog input impedance  
further increases. As the analog input impedance increases, the  
current required to drive the analog input therefore decreases.  
For the AD7327, the value of R includes the on resistance of the  
input multiplexer and is typically 3ꢀꢀ Ω. RSOURCE should include  
any extra source impedance on the analog input.

Figure 32 shows a typical connection diagram for the AD7327.  
In this configuration, the AGND pin is connected to the analog  
ground plane of the system, and the DGND pin is connected to  
the digital ground plane of the system. The analog inputs on the  
AD7327 can be configured to operate in single-ended, true  
differential, or pseudo differential mode. The AD7327 can operate  
with either an internal or external reference. In Figure 32, the  
AD7327 is configured to operate with the internal 2.± V reference.

The VCC pin can be connected to either a 3 V supply voltage or a  
± V supply voltage. The VDD and VSS are the dual supplies for the  
high voltage analog input structures. The voltage on these pins  
must be equal to or greater than the highest analog input range  
selected on the analog input channels (see Table 6). The VDRIVE  
pin is connected to the supply voltage of the microprocessor.  
The voltage applied to the VDRIVE input controls the voltage of  
the serial interface. VDRIVE can be set to 3 V or ± V.  
The AD7327 can have a total of four true differential analog  
input pairs. Differential signals have some benefits over single-  
ended signals, including better noise immunity based on the  
device’s common-mode rejection and improvements in  
distortion performance. Figure 34 defines the configuration of  
the true differential analog inputs of the AD7327.

and is therefore the voltage on which the two input signals are  
centered.  
The AD7327 has a total of eight analog inputs when operating  
the AD7327 in single-ended mode. Each analog input can be  
independently programmed to one of the four analog input  
ranges. In applications where the signal source is high  
impedance, it is recommended to buffer the signal before  
applying it to the ADC analog inputs. Figure 33 shows the  
configuration of the AD7327 in single-ended mode.  
This voltage is set up externally, and its range varies with  
reference voltage. As the reference voltage increases, the  
common-mode range decreases. When driving the differential  
inputs with an amplifier, the actual common-mode range is  
determined by the amplifiers output swing. If the differential  
inputs are not driven from an amplifier, the common-mode  
range is determined by the supply voltage on the VDD and the  
VSS supply pins.  
When a conversion takes place, the common mode is rejected,  
resulting in a noise-free signal of amplitude −2 × (4 × VREF) to  
+2 × (4 × VREF) corresponding to Digital Codes −4ꢀ96 to +4ꢀ9±.

The AD7327 can have four pseudo differential pairs or seven  
pseudo differential inputs referenced to a common VIN− pin.  
The VIN+ inputs are coupled to the signal source and must have  
an amplitude within the selected range for that channel as  
programmed in the range registers. A dc input is applied to the  
VIN− pin. The voltage applied to this input provides an offset for  
the VIN+ input from ground or a pseudo ground. Pseudo  
differential inputs separate the analog input signal ground from  
the ADC ground, allowing cancellation of dc common mode

Differential operation requires that VIN+ and VIN− be simulta-

out of phase. The common mode must be set up externally to the  
AD7327. The common-mode range is determined by the REFIN/  
OUT voltage, the VCC supply voltage, and the particular amplifier  
used to drive the analog inputs. Differential mode with either an  
ac input or a dc input provides the best THD performance over a  
wide frequency range. Because not all applications have a signal  
preconditioned for differential operation, there is often a need to  
perform the single-ended-to-differential conversion.

In applications where the harmonic distortion and signal-to-  
noise ratio are critical specifications, the analog input of the  
AD7327 should be driven from a low impedance source. Large  
source impedances significantly affect the ac performance of the  
ADC and can necessitate the use of an input buffer amplifier.

When no amplifier is used to drive the analog input, the source  
impedance should be limited to low values. The maximum source  
impedance depends on the amount of THD that can be tolerated  
in the application. The THD increases as the source impedance  
increases and performance degrades. Figure 21 and Figure 22  
show graphs of the THD vs. the analog input frequency for various  
source impedances. Depending on the input range and analog  
input configuration selected, the AD7327 can handle source  
impedances of up to ±.± kΩ before the THD starts to degrade.

Due to the programmable nature of the analog inputs on the

AD7327  
REGISTERS  
The AD7327 has four programmable registers: the control register, sequence register, Range Register 1, and Range Register 2.  
These registers are write-only registers.  
ADDRESSING REGISTERS  
A serial transfer on the AD7327 consists of 16 SCLK cycles. The three MSBs on the DIN line during the 16 SCLK transfer are decoded to  
determine which register is addressed. The three MSBs consist of the write bit, Register Select 1 bit, and Register Select 2 bit. The register  
select bits are used to determine which of the four on-board registers is selected. The write bit determines if the data on the DIN line  
following the register select bits loads into the addressed register. If the write bit is 1, the bits load into the register addressed by the  
register select bits. If the write bit is ꢀ, the data on the DIN line does not load into any register.

CONTROL REGISTER  
The control register is used to select the analog input channel, analog input configuration, reference, coding, and power mode. The  
control register is a write-only, 12-bit register. Data loaded on the DIN line corresponds to the AD7327 configuration for the next  
conversion. If the sequence register is being used, data should be loaded into the control register after the range registers and the sequence  
register have been initialized. The bit functions of the control register are shown in Table 9 (the power-up status of all bits is ꢀ).

configured as eight single-ended inputs, four fully differential inputs, four pseudo differential inputs, or  
seven pseudo differential inputs (see Table 10).

Coding  
The power management bits are used to select different power mode options on the AD7327 (see Table 11).  
This bit is used to select the type of output coding the AD7327 uses for the next conversion result. If  
coding = 0, the output coding is twos complement. If coding = 1, the output coding is straight binary.  
When operating in sequence mode, the output coding for each channel is the value written to the coding  
bit during the last write to the control register.

Ref  
The reference bit is used to enable or disable the internal reference. If Ref = 0, the external reference is  
enabled and used for the next conversion and the internal reference is disabled. If Ref = 1, the internal  
reference is used for the next conversion. When operating in sequence mode, the reference used for each  
channel is the value written to the Ref bit during the last write to the control register.

differential inputs, or eight single-ended analog inputs.

RANGE REGISTERS  
The range registers are used to select one analog input range per analog input channel. Range Register 1 is used to set the ranges for  
Channel ꢀ to Channel 3. It is an 8-bit, write-only register with two dedicated range bits for each of the analog input channels from  
Channel ꢀ to Channel 3. There are four analog input ranges, ±1V, ±± V, ±2V, and ꢀ V to +1ꢀ V. A write to Range Register 1 is selected  
by setting the write bit to 1 and the register select bits to ꢀ and 1. After the initial write to Range Register 1 occurs, each time an analog  
input is selected, the AD7327 automatically configures the analog input to the appropriate range, as indicated by Range Register 1.  
The ±1ꢀ V input range is selected by default on each analog input channel (see Table 13).

Figure 44. Programmable Sequence Flowchart  
The AD7327 can be configured to automatically cycle through a  
number of selected channels using the on-chip sequence register  
with the Seq1 bit and the Seq2 bit in the control register. Figure 44  
shows how to program the AD7327 register to operate in  
sequence mode.  
These two initial serial transfers are only necessary if input  
ranges other than the default ranges are required. After the  
analog input ranges are configured, a write to the sequence  
register is necessary to select the channels to be included in the  
sequence. Once the channels for the sequence have been  
selected, the sequence can be initiated by writing to the control  
register and setting Seq1 to ꢀ and Seq2 to 1. The AD7327  
continues to convert through the selected sequence without  
interruption provided the sequence register remains unchanged  
and Seq1 = ꢀ and Seq2 = 1 in the control register.  
After power-up, all of the four on-chip registers contain default  
values. Each analog input has a default input range of ±1V. If  
different analog input ranges are required, a write to the range  
registers is required. This is shown in the first two serial  
transfers of Figure 44.  
Rev. 0 | Page 26 of 36  
 
 
AD7327  
If a change to one of the range registers is required during a  
sequence, it is necessary to first stop the sequence by writing to  
the control register and setting Seq1 to ꢀ and Seq2 to ꢀ. Next,  
the write to the range register should be completed to change  
the required range. The previously selected sequence should  
then be initiated again by writing to the control register and  
setting Seq1 to ꢀ and Seq2 to 1. The ADC converts the first  
channel in the sequence.  
Once the control register is configured to operate the AD7327  
in this mode, the DIN line can be held low or the write bit can  
be set to ꢀ. To return to traditional multichannel operation, a  
write to the control register to set Seq1 to ꢀ and Seq2 to ꢀ is  
necessary.  
When Seq1 and Seq2 are both set to ꢀ, or when both are set  
to 1, the AD7327 is configured to operate in traditional multi-  
channel mode, where a write to the Channel Address Bit ADD2  
to Bit ADDꢀ in the control register selects the next channel for  
conversion.  
The AD7327 can be configured to convert a sequence of  
consecutive channels (see Figure 4±). This sequence begins by  
converting on Channel ꢀ and ends with a final channel as  
selected by Bit ADD2 to Bit ADDꢀ in the control register. In  
this configuration, there is no need for a write to the sequence  
register. To operate the AD7327 in this mode, set Seq1 to 1 and  
Seq2 to ꢀ, and then select the final channel in the sequence by  
programming Bit ADD2 to Bit ADDꢀ in the control register.

AD7327  
REFERENCE  
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR  
The AD7327 can operate with either the internal 2.± V on-chip  
reference or an externally applied reference. The internal  
reference is selected by setting the Ref bit in the control register  
to 1. On power-up, the Ref bit is ꢀ, which selects the external  
reference for the AD7327 conversion. Suitable reference sources  
for the AD7327 include AD78ꢀ, AD1±82, ADR431, REF193,  
and ADR391.  
The AD7327 has an on-chip temperature indicator. The  
temperature indicator can be used to give local temperature  
measurements on the AD7327. To access the temperature  
indicator, the ADC should be configured in pseudo differential  
mode, Mode 1 = Mode ꢀ = 1, and Channel Bits ADD2, ADD1,  
and ADDꢀ should be set to 1. VIN7 must be tied to AGND or to  
a small dc voltage within the specified pseudo input range for  
the selected analog input range. When a conversion is initiated  
in this configuration, the output code represents the temperature  
(see Figure 46 and Figure 47). When using the temperature  
indicator on the AD7327, the part should be operated at low  
throughput rates, such as approximately ±ꢀ kSPS for the ±1ꢀ V  
range and 3ꢀ kSPS for the ±2.± V range. The throughput rate is  
reduced for the temperature indicator mode because the  
AD7327 requires more acquisition time for this mode.  
The internal reference circuitry consists of a 2.± V band gap  
reference and a reference buffer. When operating the AD7327  
in internal reference mode, the 2.± V internal reference is available  
at the REFIN/OUT pin, which should be decoupled to AGND  
using a 68ꢀ nF capacitor. It is recommended that the internal  
reference be buffered before applying it elsewhere in the system.  
The internal reference is capable of sourcing up to 9ꢀ μA.  
4420  
On power-up, if the internal reference operation is required for  
the ADC conversion, a write to the control register is necessary  
to set the Ref bit to 1. During the control register write, the  
conversion result from the first initial conversion is invalid. The  
reference buffer requires ±ꢀꢀ ꢃs to power up and charge the  
68ꢀ nF decoupling capacitor during the power-up time.

When a 3 V reference is selected, the ranges are ±12 V, ±6 V,  
±3 V, and ꢀ V to +12 V. For these ranges, the VDD and VSS supply  
must be equal to or greater than the maximum analog input

The AD7327 has a VDRIVE feature to control the voltage at which  
the serial interface operates. VDRIVE allows the ADC to easily  
interface to both 3 V and ± V processors. For example, if the  
AD7327 is operated with a VCC of ± V, the VDRIVE pin can be  
powered from a 3 V supply. This allows the AD7327 to accept  
large bipolar input signals with low voltage digital processing.

AD7327  
MODES OF OPERATION  
The AD7327 has several modes of operation that are designed  
to provide flexible power management options. These options  
can be chosen to optimize the power dissipation/throughput  
rate ratio for different application requirements. The mode of  
operation of the AD7327 is controlled by the power management  
bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PMꢀ, in the control register as shown in  
Table 11. The default mode is normal mode, where all internal  
circuitry is fully powered up.  
The AD7327 remains fully powered up at the end of the  
conversion if both PM1 and PMꢀ contain ꢀ in the control  
register.  
To complete the conversion and access the conversion result,  
16 serial clock cycles are required. At the end of the conversion,  
CS  
can idle either high or low until the next conversion.  
Once the data transfer is complete, another conversion can be  
initiated after the quiet time, tQUIET, has elapsed.  
NORMAL MODE  
(PM1 = PM0 = 0)  
FULL SHUTDOWN MODE  
(PM1 = PM0 = 1)  
This mode is intended for the fastest throughput rate performance  
with the AD7327 being fully powered up at all times. Figure 48  
shows the general operation of the AD7327 in normal mode.  
In this mode, all internal circuitry on the AD7327 is powered  
down. The part retains information in the registers during full  
shutdown. The AD7327 remains in full shutdown mode until  
the power management bits, Bit PM1 and Bit PMꢀ, in the  
control register are changed.  
CS  
The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of , and the  
track-and-hold section enters hold mode, as described in the  
Serial Interface section. Data on the DIN line during the  
16 SCLK transfer is loaded into one of the on-chip registers if the  
write bit is set. The register is selected by programming the  
register select bits (see Table 8).  
A write to the control register with PM1 = 1 and PMꢀ = 1 places  
the part into full shutdown mode. The AD7327 enters full shut-  
down mode on the 1±th SCLK rising edge once the control register  
is updated.  
CS  
If a write to the control register occurs while the part is in full  
shutdown mode with the power management bits, Bit PM1 and  
Bit PMꢀ, set to ꢀ (normal mode), the part begins to power up  
on the 1±th SCLK rising edge once the control register is  
updated. Figure 49 shows how the AD7327 is configured to exit  
full shutdown mode. To ensure the AD7327 is fully powered up,

AD7327  
As is the case with autoshutdown mode, the AD7327 enters  
standby on the 1±th SCLK rising edge once the control register is  
updated (see Figure ±ꢀ). The part retains information in the  
registers during standby. The AD7327 remains in standby until

Once the autoshutdown mode is selected, the AD7327 auto-

In autostandby mode, portions of the AD7327 are powered  
down, but the on-chip reference remains powered up. The  
reference bit in the control register should be 1 to ensure that  
the on-chip reference is enabled. This mode is similar to auto-  
shutdown but allows the AD7327 to power up much faster,  
which allows faster throughput rates.

The power consumption of the AD7327 varies with throughput  
rate. The static power consumed by the AD7327 is very low, and  
significant power savings can be achieved as the throughput  
rate is reduced. Figure ±1 and Figure ±2 shows the power vs.  
throughput rate for the AD7327 at a VCC of 3 V and ± V,  
respectively. Both plots clearly show that the average power  
consumed by the AD7327 is greatly reduced as the sample  
frequency is reduced. This is true whether a fixed SCLK value is  
used or if it is scaled with the sampling frequency. Figure ±1 and  
Figure ±2 show the power consumption when operating in  
normal mode for a variable SCLK that scales with the sampling  
frequency.

AD7327  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
Figure ±3 shows the timing diagram for the serial interface of  
the AD7327. The serial clock applied to the SCLK pin provides  
the conversion clock and controls the transfer of information to  
and from the AD7327 during a conversion.  
Data is clocked into the AD7327 on the SCLK falling edge. The  
three MSBs on the DIN line are decoded to select which register  
is addressed. The control register is a 12-bit register. If the  
control register is addressed by the three MSBs, the data on the  
DIN line is loaded into the control on the 1±th SCLK falling  
edge. If the sequence register or either of the range registers is  
addressed, the data on the DIN line is loaded into the addressed  
register on the 11th SCLK falling edge.  
CS  
The  
signal initiates the data transfer and the conversion  
CS  
process. The falling edge of  
puts the track-and-hold into  
hold mode and takes the bus out of three-state. Then the analog  
input signal is sampled. Once the conversion is initiated, it  
requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete.  
Conversion data is clocked out of the AD7327 on each SCLK  
falling edge. Data on the DOUT line consists of three channel  
identifier bits, a sign bit, and a 12-bit conversion result. The  
channel identifier bits are used to indicate which channel  
corresponds to the conversion result. The ADD2 bit is clocked  
The track-and-hold goes back into track mode on the 14th SCLK  
rising edge. On the 16th SCLK falling edge, the DOUT line  
returns to three-state. If the rising edge of  
CS  
occurs before  
16 SCLK cycles have elapsed, the conversion is terminated,  
and the DOUT line returns to three-state. Depending on where

AD7327  
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING  
The serial interface on the AD7327 allows the part to be directly  
connected to a range of different microprocessors. This section  
explains how to interface the AD7327 with some common  
microcontroller and DSP serial interface protocols.  
The frequency of the serial clock is set in the SCLKDIV register.  
When the instruction to transmit with TFS is given (AXꢀ =  
TXꢀ), the state of the serial clock is checked. The DSP waits  
until the SCLK has gone high, low, and high again before  
starting the transmission. If the timer and SCLK are chosen so  
that the instruction to transmit occurs on or near the rising  
edge of SCLK, data can be transmitted immediately or at the  
next clock edge.  
AD7327 TO ADSP-21xx  
The ADSP-21xx family of DSPs interface directly to the AD7327  
without requiring glue logic. The VDRIVE pin of the AD7327 takes  
the same supply voltage as that of the ADSP-21xx. This allows  
the ADC to operate at a higher supply voltage than its serial  
interface. The SPORTꢀ on the ADSP-21xx should be configured  
as shown in Table 14.  
For example, the ADSP-2111 has a master clock frequency of  
16 MHz. If the SCLKDIV register is loaded with the value 3, an  
SCLK of 2 MHz is obtained, and eight master clock periods elapse  
for every one SCLK period. If the timer registers are loaded with  
the value 8ꢀ3, 1ꢀꢀ.± SCLKs occur between interrupts and, sub-  
sequently, between transmit instructions. This situation leads to  
nonequidistant sampling because the transmit instruction occurs  
on an SCLK edge. If the number of SCLKs between interrupts is  
an integer of N, equidistant sampling is implemented by the DSP.

The timer registers are loaded with a value that provides an  
interrupt at the required sampling interval. When an interrupt  
is received, a value is transmitted with TFS/DT (ADC control  
word). The TFS is used to control the RFS, and hence the  
reading of data.

AD7327  
APPLICATION HINTS  
To avoid radiating noise to other sections of the board, com-  
ponents, such as clocks, with fast switching signals should be  
shielded with digital ground and never run near the analog inputs.  
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. To reduce the effects  
of feedthrough within the board, traces should be run at right  
angles to each other. A microstrip technique is the best method,  
but its use may not be possible with a double-sided board. In  
this technique, the component side of the board is dedicated to  
ground planes, and signals are placed on the other side.  
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7327 should be  
designed so that the analog and digital sections are confined to  
certain areas of the board. This design facilitates the use of  
ground planes that can easily be separated.  
To provide optimum shielding for ground planes, a minimum  
etch technique is generally best. All AGND pins on the AD7327  
should be connected to the AGND plane. Digital and analog  
ground pins should be joined in only one place. If the AD7327  
is in a system where multiple devices require an AGND and  
DGND connection, the connection should still be made at only  
one point. A star point should be established as close as possible  
to the ground pins on the AD7327.  
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should  
be decoupled with 1ꢀ ꢃF tantalum capacitors in parallel with  
ꢀ.1 ꢃF capacitors to AGND. To achieve the best results from  
these decoupling components, they must be placed as close as  
possible to the device, ideally right up against the device. The  
ꢀ.1 ꢃF capacitors should have a low effective series resistance  
(ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI), such as is  
typical of common ceramic and surface mount types of  
capacitors. These low ESR, low ESI capacitors provide a low  
impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle  
transient currents due to internal logic switching.  
Good connections should be made to the power and ground  
planes. This can be done with a single via or multiple vias for  
each supply and ground pin.  
Avoid running digital lines under the AD7327 device because  
this couples noise onto the die. However, the analog ground  
plane should be allowed to run under the AD7327 to avoid  
noise coupling. The power supply lines to the AD7327 device  
should use as large a trace as possible to provide low impedance  
paths and reduce the effects of glitches on the power supply line.
