GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD7798/AD7799 are low power, low noise, complete  
analog front ends for high precision measurement applications.  
The AD7798/AD7799 contains a low noise, 16-/24-bit ∑-∆  
ADC with three differential analog inputs. The on-chip, low  
noise instrumentation amplifier means that signals of small  
amplitude can be interfaced directly to the ADC. With a gain  
setting of 64, the rms noise is 27 nV for the AD7799 and 40 nV  
for the AD7798 when the update rate equals 4.17 Hz.  
INTERFACE  
3-wire serial  
SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP compatible  
Schmitt trigger on SCLK  
On-chip features include a low-side power switch, reference  
detect, programmable digital output pins, burnout currents,  
and an internal clock oscillator. The output data rate from the  
part is software-programmable and can be varied from 4.17 Hz  
to 470 Hz.  
APPLICATIONS  
Weigh scales  
Pressure measurement  
Strain gauge transducers  
Gas analysis  
Industrial process control  
Instrumentation  
The part operates with a power supply from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.  
The AD7798 consumes a current of 300 µA typical, whereas the  
AD7799 consumes 380 µA typical. Both devices are housed in a  
16-lead TSSOP package.

1 Temperature range is –40°C to +105°C. At the 19.6 Hz and 39.2 Hz update rates, the INL, power supply rejection (PSR), common-mode rejection (CMR), and normal  
mode rejection (NMR) do not meet the data sheet specification if the voltage on the AIN(+) or AIN(−) pins exceeds AVDD − 1.6 V typically. When this voltage is  
exceeded, the INL, for example, is reduced to 18 ppm of FS typically and the PSR is reduced to 69 dB typically. Therefore, for guaranteed performance at these update  
rates, the absolute voltage on the analog input pins needs to be below AVDD − 1.6 V.  
2 Specification is not production tested, but is supported by characterization data at initial product release.  
3 Following a calibration, this error is in the order of the noise for the programmed gain and update rate selected.  
4 Recalibration at any temperature removes these errors.  
5 Full-scale error applies to both positive and negative full-scale and applies at the factory calibration conditions (AVDD = 4 V, gain = 1, TA = 25°C).  
6 FS[3:0] are the four bits used in the mode register to select the output word rate.

1 Sample tested during initial release to ensure compliance. All input signals are specified with tR = tF = 5 ns (10% to 90% of DVDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.  
2 See Figure 3 and Figure 4.  
3 These times 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 the falling edge of SCLK.  
5 These times 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 time 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.

SCLK  
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is 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 noncontinuous, with the information transmitted  
to or from the ADC in smaller batches of data.  
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 it can be used as a frame synchronization signal when  
communicating with the device. CS can be hardwired low, allowing the ADC to operate in 3-wire mode, with SCLK,  
DIN, and DOUT/RDY used to interface with the device.

between 2.7 V and 5.25 V. The DVDD voltage is independent of the voltage on AVDD; therefore, AVDD can equal 5 V  
with DVDD at 3 V, or vice versa.  
15  
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 output 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 goes high before the next update occurs.  
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  
information is placed on the DOUT/RDY pin on the SCLK falling edge and is valid upon the SCLK rising edge.  
16  
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, with the register selection bits of the communication register identifying the appropriate register.

OUTPUT NOISE AND RESOLUTION SPECIFICATIONS  
AD7798  
Table 5 shows the AD7798 output rms noise for some update  
rates and gain settings. The numbers given are for the bipolar  
input range with a 2.5 V reference. These numbers are typical  
and are generated with a differential input voltage of 0 V. Table 6  
shows the effective resolution, and the output peak-to-peak  
resolution is shown in parentheses. It is important to note that  
the effective resolution is calculated using the rms noise, whereas  
the peak-to-peak resolution is based on the peak-to-peak noise.  
The peak-to-peak resolution represents the resolution for which  
there is no code flicker. These numbers are typical and are  
rounded to the nearest LSB.

Data Sheet  
AD7798/AD7799  
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.  
COMMUNICATION REGISTER  
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0  
The communication register is an 8-bit, write-only register. All communication to the part must start with a write operation to the  
communication register. The data written to the communication register determines whether the next operation is a read or write  
operation, and to which register this operation takes place. After the read or write operation is complete, the interface returns to its  
default state, where it expects a write operation to the communication register. 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 9 outlines  
the bit designations for the communication register. CR0 through CR7 indicate the bit location, with CR denoting that the bits are in the  
communication register. CR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default  
status of that bit.

Table 9. Communication Register Bit Designations  
Bit Location  
Bit Name  
Description  
CR7  
WEN  
Write Enable Bit. A 0 must be written to this bit so that the write to the communication register occurs.  
If a 1 is the first bit written, the part does not clock subsequent bits into the register. It stays 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 are loaded  
to the communication register.  
CR6  
R/W  
Read/Write Bit. A 0 in this bit location indicates that the next operation is a write to a specified register.  
A 1 in this position indicates that the next operation is a read from the designated register.  
CR5 to CR3  
CR2  
RS2 to RS0  
CREAD  
Register Address Bits. These bits are used to select the register during the serial interface communication.  
See Table 10.  
Continuous Read of the Data Register Bit. 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, that is, the contents of  
the data register are placed on the DOUT pin automatically when the SCLK pulses are applied after the  
RDY pin goes low to indicate that a conversion is complete. The communication register does not have  
to be written to for data reads. To enable continuous read mode, the instruction 01011100 must be  
written to the communication register. To exit the continuous read mode, the instruction 01011000  
must be written to the communication register while the RDY pin is low. While in continuous read mode,  
the ADC monitors activity on the DIN line for the instruction to exit continuous read mode. Additionally,  
a reset occurs 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 to CR0  
0
These bits must be programmed to Logic 0 for correct operation.

STATUS REGISTER  
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x80 (AD7798)/0x88 (AD7799)  
The status register is an 8-bit, read-only register. To access the status register, the user must write to the communication register, select the  
next operation to be a read, and load Bit RS2, Bit RS1, and Bit RS0 with 0. Table 11 outlines the bit designations for the status register. SR0  
through SR7 indicate the bit locations, with SR denoting that the bits are in the status register. SR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream.

SR7  
RDY  
Ready Bit. Cleared when data is written to the data register. Set after the data register is read or after a period  
of time before the data register is updated with a new conversion result to indicate to the user not to read the  
conversion data. It is also set when the part is placed in power-down mode. The end of a conversion is  
indicated by the DOUT/RDY pin. This pin can be used as an alternative to the status register for monitoring  
the ADC for conversion data.  
SR6  
SR5  
ERR  
Error Bit. This bit is written to at the same time as the RDY bit. Set to indicate that the result written to the  
data register is clamped to all 0s or all 1s. Error sources include overrange and underrange. Cleared by a write  
operation to start a conversion.  
No Reference Bit. Set to indicate that the reference (REFIN) is at a voltage below a specified threshold. When  
NOREF is set, conversion results are clamped to all 1s. Cleared to indicate that a valid reference is applied to  
the reference pins. The NOREF bit is enabled by setting the REF_DET bit in the configuration register to 1.

CH2 to CH0 These bits indicate which channel is being converted by the ADC.  
MODE REGISTER  
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 0, 1; Power-On/Reset = 0x000A  
The mode register is a 16-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register is used to select the  
operating mode, update rate, and low-side power switch. Table 12 outlines the bit designations for the mode register. MR0 through MR15  
indicate the bit locations, with MR denoting that the bits are in the mode register. MR15 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The  
number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. A write to the mode register resets the modulator and filter  
RDY  
and sets the

Continuous-Conversion Mode (Default). 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. After power-on, a channel  
change, or a write to the mode, configuration, or IO registers, the first conversion is available after a period of 2/fADC  
and subsequent conversions are available at a frequency of fADC  
,
.
Single-Conversion Mode. When single-conversion mode is selected, the ADC powers up and performs a single  
conversion. The oscillator requires 1 ms to power up and settle. The ADC then performs the conversion, which takes  
a time of 2/fADC. The conversion result is 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.

Idle Mode. In idle mode, the ADC filter and modulator are held in a reset state, although the modulator clocks are  
still provided.

Power-Down Mode. In this mode, all AD7798/AD7799 circuitry is powered down, including the burnout currents.  
Internal Zero-Scale Calibration. An internal short is automatically connected to the enabled channel. A calibration  
takes two conversion cycles to complete. RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated and returns low when the  
calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured offset coefficient is  
placed in the offset register of the selected channel.

Internal Full-Scale Calibration. A full-scale input voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input for  
this calibration. When the gain equals 1, a calibration takes two conversion cycles to complete. For higher gains, four  
conversion cycles are required to perform the full-scale calibration. RDY goes high when the calibration is initiated  
and returns low when the calibration is complete. The ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The  
measured full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the selected channel. Internal full-scale  
calibrations cannot be performed when the gain equals 128. The ADC is factory-calibrated at a gain of 128 and this  
factory-generated value is placed in the full-scale register on power up and when the gain is set to 128. With this  
gain setting, a system full-scale calibration can be performed. To minimize the full-scale error, a full-scale calibration  
is required each time the gain of a channel is changed.

System Zero-Scale Calibration. Users should connect the system zero-scale input to the channel input pins as

CONFIGURATION REGISTER  
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 0, 1, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x0710  
The configuration register is a 16-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, to enable or disable the buffer, to enable or disable the burnout currents, to select the  
gain, and to select the analog input channel. Table 15 outlines the bit designations for the filter register. CON0 through CON15 indicate  
the bit locations, with CON denoting that the bits are in the configuration register. CON15 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The  
number in parentheses indicates the power-on/reset default status of the bit.

BUF  
Configures the ADC for buffered or unbuffered modes. If BUF is cleared, the ADC operates in unbuffered  
mode, lowering the power consumption of the device. If BUF is set, the ADC operates in buffered mode,  
allowing the user to place source impedances on the front end without contributing gain errors to the system.  
The buffer can be disabled when the gain equals 1 or 2. For higher gains, the buffer is automatically enabled.  
With the buffer disabled, the voltage on the analog input pins can range from 30 mV below GND to 30 mV  
above AVDD. When the buffer is enabled, it requires some headroom; therefore, the voltage on any input pin  
must be limited to 100 mV within the power supply rails.

OFFSET REGISTER  
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 0; Power-On/Reset = 0x8000(AD7798)/0x800000 (AD7799)  
Each analog input channel has a dedicated offset register that holds the offset calibration coefficient for the channel. This register is  
16 bits wide on the AD7798 and 24 bits wide on the AD7799, and its power-on/reset value is 8000(00) hex. The offset register is used in  
conjunction with its associated full-scale register to form a register pair. The power-on/reset value is automatically overwritten if an  
internal or system zero-scale calibration is initiated by the user. The offset register is a read/write register. However, the AD7798/AD7799  
must be in idle mode or power-down mode when writing to the offset register.  
FULL-SCALE REGISTER  
RS2, RS1, RS0 = 1, 1, 1; Power-On/Reset = 0x5XXX (AD7798)/0x5XXX00 (AD7799)  
The full-scale register is a 16-bit register on the AD7798 and a 24-bit register on the AD7799. The full-scale register holds the full-scale  
calibration coefficient for the ADC. The AD7798/AD7799 has three full-scale registers, with each channel having a dedicated full-scale  
register. The full-scale registers are read/write registers. However, when writing to the full-scale registers, users must place the ADC in  
power-down mode or idle mode. Upon power-on, these registers are configured with factory-calibrated, full-scale calibration coefficients,  
with the calibration performed at gain = 128, the default gain setting. The default value is automatically overwritten if an internal or  
system full-scale calibration is initiated by the user, or the full-scale register is written to.

OVERVIEW  
The AD7798/AD7799 are low power ADCs that each incorporate  
a ∑-∆ modulator, a buffer, an in-amp, and on-chip digital filtering  
intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low  
frequency signals, such as those in pressure transducers and  
weigh scales.

Each part has three differential inputs that can be buffered or  
unbuffered. The reference is provided by an external reference  
source. Figure 11 shows the basic connections required to  
operate the parts.  
–80  
The output rate of the AD7798/AD7799 (fADC) is user-program-  
mable. The allowable update rates, along with the corresponding  
settling times, are listed in Table 14. Normal mode rejection is  
the major function of the digital filter. Simultaneous 50 Hz and  
60 Hz rejection is optimized when the update rate equals 16.7 Hz  
or less, because notches are placed at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz with  
these update rates (see Figure 13).

The AD7798/AD7799 use slightly different filter types,  
depending on the output update rate, so that the rejection of  
quantization noise and device noise is optimized. When the  
update rate ranges from 4.17 Hz to 12.5 Hz, a sinc3 filter, along  
with an averaging filter, is used. When the update rate ranges  
from 16.7 Hz to 39 Hz, a modified sinc3 filter is used. This filter  
gives simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection when the update  
rate equals 16.7 Hz. A sinc4 filter is used when the update rate  
ranges from 50 Hz to 242 Hz. Finally, an integrate-only filter is  
used when the update rate equals 470 Hz. Figure 12 through  
Figure 15 show the frequency responses of the different filter  
types for a few of the update rates.

DIGITAL INTERFACE  
As previously outlined, the programmable functions of the  
AD7798/AD7799 are controlled using a set of on-chip registers.  
Data is written to these registers via the serial interface, which  
also provides read access to the on-chip registers. All  
CS  
The AD7798/AD7799 can be operated with  
being used as a  
frame-synchronization signal. This scheme is useful for DSP  
interfaces. In this case, the first bit (MSB) is effectively clocked

out by , because  
normally occurs after the falling edge of  
communication with the part must start with a write to the  
communication register. After power-on or reset, the device  
expects a write to its communication register. The data written  
to this register determines whether the next operation is a read  
or write operation and to which register this operation occurs.  
Therefore, write access to any register begins with a write  
operation to the communication 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 communication register, followed by a read  
operation from the selected register.  
SCLK in DSPs. The SCLK can continue to run between data  
transfers, provided that the timing numbers are obeyed.  
The serial interface can be reset by writing a series of 1s on the  
DIN input. If a Logic 1 is written to the AD7798/AD7799 line  
for at least 32 serial clock cycles, the serial interface is reset.  
This ensures that the interface can be reset to a known state if  
the interface is lost due to a software error or a glitch in the  
system. Reset returns the interface to the state in which it is  
expecting a write to the communication register. This opera-  
tion resets the contents of all registers to their power-on  
values. Following a reset, the user should allow a period of  
500 microseconds before addressing the serial interface.

read the conversion before the completion of the next conversion,  
or if insufficient serial clocks are applied to the AD7798/AD7799  
to read the word, the serial output register is reset when the  
next conversion is complete, and the new conversion is placed  
in the output serial register.  
Rather than write to the communication register to access the  
data each time a conversion is complete, the AD7798/AD7799  
can be configured so that the conversions are placed on the

communication register, the user need only apply the  
appropriate number of SCLK cycles to the ADC, and the

for continuous conversion mode.

should be held low in continuous-read mode until an  
instruction is written to the device.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL  
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER  
When the gain equals 4 or higher, the output from the buffer is  
applied to the input of the on-chip instrumentation amplifier.  
This low noise in-amp means that signals of small amplitude  
can be gained within the AD7798/AD7799 while still maintaining  
excellent noise performance. For example, when the gain is set  
to 64 and the update rate equals 4.17 Hz, the rms noise is 27 nV  
typically for the AD7799, which is equivalent to 25.5 bits effective  
resolution, or 20 bits peak-to-peak resolution when VREF = 5 V.  
The AD7798/AD7799 each have three differential analog input  
channels. These are connected to the on-chip buffer amplifier  
when the devices are operated in buffered mode, and directly to  
the modulator when the devices are 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 gages or resistance  
temperature detectors (RTDs).  
The AD7798/AD7799 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 2,  
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 using Bit G2 to Bit G0 in the configuration  
register. Therefore, with a 2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges are  
from (0 mV to 19.53 mV) to (0 V to 2.5 V), and the bipolar  
ranges are from 19.53 mV to 2.5 V. When the in-amp is active  
(gain ≥ 4), the common-mode voltage (AIN(+) + AIN(−))/2 must  
be greater than or equal to 0.5 V.  
When BUF = 0, the parts are 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 gain errors, depending on the output impedance  
of the source that is driving the ADC input. Table 17 shows the  
allowable external resistance/capacitance values for unbuffered  
mode such that no gain error at the 20-bit level is introduced.  
If the AD7798/AD7799 operate with a reference that has a value  
equal to AVDD, the analog input signal must be limited to 90% of  
VREF/gain when the in-amp is active for correct operation.

unipolar or bipolar input voltage ranges. A bipolar input range  
does not imply that the parts 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 and a gain of 1, the input voltage range on the  
AIN(+) pin is 2.5 V to 5 V.

The AD7798/AD7799 can be operated in unbuffered mode only  
when the gain equals 1 or 2. At higher gains, the buffer is auto-  
matically enabled. The absolute input voltage range in buffered  
mode is restricted to a range between GND + 100 mV and  
AVDD – 100 mV. When the gain is set to 4 or higher, the in-amp  
is enabled. The absolute input voltage range when the in-amp is  
active is restricted to a range between GND + 300 mV and  
AVDD − 1.1 V. Care must be taken in setting up the common-  
mode voltage so that these limits are not exceeded; otherwise,  
linearity and noise performance degrade.  
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  
B
chosen by programming the U/ bit in the configuration register.  
The absolute input voltage in unbuffered mode includes the  
range between GND − 30 mV and AVDD + 30 mV as a result of  
being unbuffered. The negative absolute input voltage limit  
allows the possibility of monitoring small true bipolar signals  
with respect to GND.

AD7798/AD7799  
the low frequency noise in the excitation source is removed  
because the application is ratiometric. If the AD7798/AD7799  
are used in a nonratiometric application, a low noise reference  
should be used.  
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  
Recommended 2.5 V reference voltage sources for the AD7798/  
AD7799 include the ADR381 and ADR391, which are low noise,  
low power references. Also note that the reference inputs provide  
a high impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance  
of each reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combina-  
tions on these inputs can cause dc gain errors, depending on the  
output impedance of the source driving the reference inputs.  
Code = (2N × AIN × GAIN)/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  
Reference voltage sources such as those recommended above  
(for example, ADR391) 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  
means that the reference input sees a significant external source  
impedance. External decoupling on the REFIN pins is not  
recommended in this type of circuit configuration.  
Code = 2N – 1 × [(AIN × GAIN/VREF) + 1]  
where:  
AIN is the analog input voltage.  
N = 16 for the AD7798, and N = 24 for the AD7799.  
REFERENCE DETECT  
BURNOUT CURRENTS  
The AD7798/AD7799 include on-chip circuitry to detect if  
there is a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. This  
feature is enabled when the REF_DET bit in the configuration  
register is set to 1. If the voltage between the REFIN(+) and  
REFIN(–) pins goes below 0.3 V, or either the REFIN(+) or  
REFIN(–) inputs are open circuit, the AD7798/AD7799 detect  
that there is no longer a valid reference. In this case, the NOREF  
bit of the status register is set to 1. If the AD7798/AD7799 are  
performing normal conversions and the NOREF bit becomes  
active, the conversion results revert to all 1s. Therefore, it is not  
necessary to continuously monitor the status of the NOREF bit  
when performing conversions. It is only necessary to verify its  
status if the conversion result read from the ADC data register  
is all 1s. If the AD7798/AD7799 are performing an offset of full-  
scale calibration and the NOREF bit becomes active, the updating  
of the respective calibration registers is inhibited to avoid loading  
incorrect coefficients to these registers, and the ERR bit in the  
status register is set. If the user is concerned about verifying that  
a valid reference is in place every time a calibration is performed,  
the status of the ERR bit should be checked at the end of the  
calibration cycle.  
The AD7798/AD7799 each contain two 100 nA constant  
current generators—one sourcing current from AVDD to  
AIN(+), and one sinking current from AIN(−) to GND. The  
currents are switched to the selected analog input pair. Both  
currents are either on or off, depending on the burnout current  
enable (BO) bit in the configuration register. These currents can  
be used to verify that an external transducer is still operational  
before attempting to take measurements on that channel. Once  
the burnout currents are turned on, they flow into the external  
transducer circuit, and a measurement of the input voltage on  
the analog input channel can be taken. If the resultant voltage  
measured is full scale, the user must determine why this is the  
case. A full-scale reading could mean that the front-end sensor  
is open circuit, that the front-end sensor is overloaded and is  
justified in outputting full scale, or that the reference is absent  
and, thus, clamping the data to all 1s.  
When reading all 1s from the output, the user should check  
these three cases before making a judgment. If the voltage  
measured is 0 V, it might indicate that the transducer has short-  
circuited. For normal operation, these burnout currents are  
turned off by writing a 0 to the BO bit in the configuration  
register. The current sources work over the normal absolute  
input voltage range specifications with buffers on.  
RESET  
The circuitry and serial interface of the AD7798/AD7799 can  
be reset by writing 32 consecutive 1s to the device. This resets  
the logic, the digital filter, and the analog modulator, and all  
on-chip registers are reset to their default values. A reset is  
automatically performed upon power-up. When a reset is  
initiated, the user must allow a period of 500 µs before  
REFERENCE  
The common-mode range for these differential inputs is from  
GND to AVDD. The reference input is unbuffered; therefore,  
excessive resistance/capacitance source impedances introduce  
gain errors. The reference voltage REFIN (REFIN(+) − REFIN(−))  
is 2.5 V nominal, but the AD7798/AD7799 are functional with  
reference voltages from 0.1 V to AVDD. 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  
accessing an on-chip register. A reset is useful if the serial  
interface becomes asynchronous due to noise on the SCLK line.

AVDD MONITOR  
Both an internal offset calibration and system offset calibration  
take two conversion cycles. An internal offset calibration is not  
needed because the ADC itself removes the offset continuously.  
Along with converting external voltages, the ADC can be used  
to monitor the voltage on the AVDD pin. When Bits CH2 to CH0  
equal 1, the voltage on the AVDD pin is internally attenuated by 6,  
and the resulting voltage is applied to the ∑-∆ modulator using  
an internal 1.17 V reference for analog-to-digital conversion.  
This is useful because variations in the power supply voltage  
can be monitored.  
To perform an internal full-scale calibration, a full-scale input  
voltage is automatically connected to the selected analog input  
for this calibration. When the gain equals 1, a calibration takes  
two conversion cycles to complete. For higher gains, four  
conversion cycles are required to perform the full-scale

The AD7798/AD7799 provide four calibration modes that can  
be programmed via the mode bits in the mode register. These  
are internal zero-scale calibration, internal full-scale calibration,  
system zero-scale calibration, and system full-scale calibration,  
which effectively reduce the offset error and full-scale error to  
the order of the noise. After each conversion, the ADC con-  
version result is scaled using the ADC calibration registers  
before being written to the data register. The offset calibration  
coefficient is subtracted from the result prior to multiplication  
by the full-scale coefficient.  
initiated and returns low when the calibration is complete. The  
ADC is placed in idle mode following a calibration. The measured  
full-scale coefficient is placed in the full-scale register of the  
selected channel. Internal full-scale calibrations cannot be  
performed when the gain equals 128. A factory calibration  
is performed at this gain setting, and the factory value is  
automatically loaded into the full-scale register when the gain is  
set to 128. With this gain setting, a system full-scale calibration  
can be performed. A full-scale calibration is required each time  
the gain of a channel is changed to minimize the full-scale error.  
To start a calibration, write the relevant value to the MD2 to  
MD0 bits in the mode register. After the calibration is complete,  
the contents of the corresponding calibration registers are  
An internal full-scale calibration can only be performed at  
specified update rates. For gains of 1, 2, and 4, an internal full-  
scale calibration can be performed at any update rate. However,  
for higher gains, internal full-scale calibrations must be performed  
when the update rate is less than or equal to 16.7 Hz, 33.2 Hz,  
or 50 Hz. Because the full-scale error does not vary with the  
update rate, a calibration at one update rate is valid for all update  
rates (assuming the gain or reference source is not changed).

During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the  
respective zero-scale and full-scale input are automatically  
connected internally to the ADC input pins. A system calibration,  
however, expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale  
voltages to be applied to the ADC pins before the calibration  
mode is initiated. In this way, external ADC errors are removed.  
A system full-scale calibration takes two conversion cycles to  
complete, irrespective of the gain setting. A system full-scale  
calibration can be performed at all gains and update rates. If  
system offset calibrations are performed along with system full-  
scale calibrations, the offset calibration should be performed  
before the system full-scale calibration is initiated.  
From an operational point of view, a calibration should be  
treated like an ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration (if  
required) should always be performed before a full-scale  
RDY  
calibration. System software should monitor the  
bit in the  
pin to determine the end of  
calibration via a polling sequence or an interrupt-driven routine.

AD7798/AD7799  
The ground planes should be allowed to run under the AD7798/  
AD7799 to prevent noise coupling. The power supply lines to  
the AD7798/AD7799 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 clock  
signals, 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.  
GROUNDING AND LAYOUT  
Because 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 reject-  
ion of the parts removes common-mode noise on these inputs.  
The digital filter provides 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  
AD7798/AD7799 are more immune to noise interference than  
conventional high resolution converters. However, because the  
resolution of the AD7798/AD7799 is so high and the noise  
levels from the AD7798/AD7799 are so low, care must be taken  
with regard to grounding and layout.  
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on  
opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each  
other. This reduces the effects of feedthrough through the  
board. A microstrip technique works best, but it is not always  
possible to use this method 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 solder side.  
Good decoupling is important when using high resolution  
The printed circuit board that houses the AD7798/AD7799  
should be designed such that the analog and digital sections are  
separated and confined to certain areas of the board. A mini-  
mum etch technique is generally best for ground planes because  
it provides the best shielding.  
ADCs. AV  
DD should be decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in  
parallel with 0.1 µF capacitors to GND. DVDD should be  
decoupled with 10 µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1 µF  
capacitors to the system’s DGND plane, with the system’s  
AGND-to-DGND connection being close to the AD7798/  
AD7799. 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.  
It is recommended that the 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, ensuring 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The AD7798/AD7799 provide a low cost, high resolution  
analog-to-digital function. Because the analog-to-digital  
function is provided by a ∑-∆ architecture, the parts are more  
immune to noisy environments, making them ideal for use in  
sensor measurement and industrial and process-control  
applications.  
operation, the switch is closed and measurements can be taken.  
In applications where power is of concern, the AD7798/AD7799  
can be placed in standby mode, thus significantly reducing the  
power consumed in the application. In addition, the low-side  
power switch can be opened while in standby mode, thus  
avoiding unnecessary power consumption by the front-end  
transducer. When the part is taken out of standby mode and the  
low-side power switch is closed, the user should ensure that the  
front end circuitry is fully settled before attempting a read from  
the AD7798/AD7799.  
WEIGH SCALES  
Figure 19 shows the AD7798/AD7799 being used in a weigh  
scale application. The load cell is arranged in a bridge network  
and gives a differential output voltage between its OUT+ and  
OUT– terminals. Assuming a 5 V excitation voltage, the full-  
scale output range from the transducer is 10 mV when the  
sensitivity is 2 mV/V. The excitation voltage for the bridge can  
be used to directly provide the reference for the ADC because  
the reference input range includes the supply voltage.  
In Figure 19, temperature compensation is performed using a  
thermistor. In addition, the reference voltage for the temperature  
measurement is derived from a precision resistor in series with  
the thermistor. This allows a ratiometric measurement—that is,  
the ratio of the precision reference resistance to the thermistor  
resistance is measured; therefore, variations of the reference  
voltage do not affect the measurement.  
A second advantage of using the AD7798/AD7799 in transducer-  
based applications is that the low-side power switch can be fully  
utilized in low power applications. The low-side power switch is  
connected in series with the cold side of the bridge. In normal
