GENERAL DESCRIPTION

MCLK IN
The AD7705/AD7706 are complete analog front ends for low
frequency measurement applications. These two-/three-channel
devices can accept low level input signals directly from a trans-
ducer and produce a serial digital output. They employ a sigma-
delta conversion technique to realize up to 16 bits of no missing
codes performance. The selected input signal is applied to a
proprietary programmable gain front end based around an ana-
log modulator. The modulator output is processed by an on-
chip digital filter. The first notch of this digital filter can be
programmed via an on-chip control register allowing adjustment
of the filter cutoff and output update rate.

using the input serial port. The part contains self-calibration and
system calibration options to eliminate gain and offset errors on
the part itself or in the system.
CMOS construction ensures very low power dissipation, and the
power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to
20 µW typ. These parts are available in a 16-lead, 0.3 inch-wide,
plastic dual-in-line package (DIP), a 16-lead wide body (0.3
inch) small outline (SOIC) package and also a low profile 16-
lead TSSOP.
The AD7705/AD7706 operate from a single 2.7 V to 3.3 V or
4.75 V to 5.25 V supply. The AD7705 features two fully differ-
ential analog input channels while the AD7706 features three
pseudo differential input channels. Both devices feature a differ-
ential reference input. Input signal ranges of 0 mV to +20 mV
through 0 V to +2.5 V can be incorporated on both devices when
operating with a VDD of 5 V and a reference of 2.5 V. They can
also handle bipolar input signal ranges of ±20 mV through ±2.5 V,
which are referenced to the AIN(–) inputs on the AD7705 and to
the COMMON input on the AD7706. The AD7705/AD7706,
with 3 V supply and a 1.225 V reference, can handle unipolar
input signal ranges of 0 mV to +10 mV through 0 V to +1.225 V.
Its bipolar input signal ranges are ±10 mV through ±1.225 V.
The AD7705/AD7706 thus perform all signal conditioning and
conversion for a two- or three-channel system.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7705/AD7706 consumes less than 1 mW at 3 V
supplies and 1 MHz master clock, making it ideal for use in
low power systems. Standby current is less than 8 µA.
2. The programmable gain input allows the AD7705/AD7706
to accept input signals directly from a strain gage or trans-
ducer, removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning.
3. The AD7705/AD7706 is ideal for microcontroller or DSP
processor applications with a three-wire serial interface re-
ducing the number of interconnect lines and reducing the
number of opto-couplers required in isolated systems.
4. The part features excellent static performance specifications
with 16 bits, no missing codes, ±0.003% accuracy and low
rms noise (<600 nV). Endpoint errors and the effects of
temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip calibration op-
tions, which remove zero-scale and full-scale errors.
The AD7705/AD7706 are ideal for use in smart, microcontroller
or DSP-based systems. They feature a serial interface that can
be configured for three-wire operation. Gain settings, signal
polarity and update rate selection can be configured in software
