AD7714
The SYNC input can also be used as a start convert command
allowing the AD7714 to be operated in a conventional converter
fashion. In this mode, the rising edge of SYNC starts conversion
and the falling edge of DRDY indicates when conversion is
complete. The disadvantage of this scheme is that the settling
time of the filter has to be taken into account for every data
register update. This means that the rate at which the data regis-
ter is updated at a three times slower rate in this mode.
the clock source, the total current in standby mode is 400 µA
typical with 5 V supplies and 90 µA with 3.3 V supplies. This is
because the on-chip oscillator circuit continues to run when the
part is in its standby mode. This is important in applications
where the system clock is provided by the AD7714’s clock, so
that the AD7714 produces an uninterrupted master clock even
when it is in its standby mode.

Since the SYNC input (or FSYNC bit) resets the digital filter,
the full settling-time of 3 × 1/Output Rate has to elapse before
there is a new word loaded to the output register on the part. If
the DRDY signal is low when SYNC returns high (or FSYNC
goes to a 0), the DRDY signal will not be reset high by the
SYNC (or FSYNC) command. This is because the AD7714
recognizes that there is a word in the data register which has not
been read. The DRDY line will stay low until an update of the
data register takes place at which time it will go high for
500 × tCLK IN before returning low again. A read from the data
register resets the DRDY signal high and it will not return low
until the settling time of the filter has elapsed (from the SYNC
or FSYNC command) and there is a valid new word in the data
register. If the DRDY line is high when the SYNC (or FSYNC)
command is issued, the DRDY line will not return low until the
settling time of the filter has elapsed.
Sigma-Delta ADCs, like VFCs and other integrating ADCs, do
not contain any source of nonmonotonicity and inherently offer
no missing codes performance. The AD7714 achieves excellent
linearity by the use of high quality, on-chip capacitors, which
have a very low capacitance/voltage coefficient. The device also
achieves low input drift through the use of chopper-stabilized
techniques in its input stage. To ensure excellent performance
over time and temperature, the AD7714 uses digital calibration
techniques that minimize offset and gain error.
Drift Considerations
The AD7714 uses chopper stabilization techniques to minimize
input offset drift. Charge injection in the analog switches and
dc leakage currents at the sampling node are the primary
sources of offset voltage drift in the converter. The dc input
leakage current is essentially independent of the selected gain.
Gain drift within the converter depends primarily upon the
temperature tracking of the internal capacitors. It is not af-
fected by leakage currents.
Reset Input
The RESET input on the AD7714 resets all the logic, the digital
filter and the analog modulator while all on-chip registers are
reset to their default state. DRDY is driven high and the
AD7714 ignores all communications to any of its registers while
the RESET input is low. When the RESET input returns high,
the AD7714 starts to process data and DRDY will return low in
3 × 1/Output Rate indicating a valid new word in the data regis-
ter. However, the AD7714 operates with its default setup condi-
tions after a RESET and it is generally necessary to set up all
registers and carry out a calibration after a RESET command.
Measurement errors due to offset drift or gain drift can be elimi-
nated at any time by recalibrating the converter or by operating
the part in the background calibration mode. Using the system
calibration mode can also minimize offset and gain errors in the
signal conditioning circuitry. Integral and differential linearity
errors are not significantly affected by temperature changes.
POWER SUPPLIES
No specific power sequence is required for the AD7714; either
the AVDD or the DVDD supply can come up first. While the
latch-up performance of the AD7714 is good, it is important
that power is applied to the AD7714 before signals at REF IN,
AIN or the logic input pins in order to avoid latch-up. If this is
not possible, then the current which flows in any of these pins
should be limited. If separate supplies are used for the AD7714
and the system digital circuitry, then the AD7714 should be
powered up first. If it is not possible to guarantee this, then
current limiting resistors should be placed in series with the
logic inputs to again limit the current.
The AD7714’s on-chip oscillator circuit continues to function
even when the RESET input is low. The master clock signal
continues to be available on the MCLK OUT pin. Therefore, in
applications where the system clock is provided by the AD7714’s
clock, the AD7714 produces an uninterrupted master clock
during RESET commands.
Standby Mode
The STANDBY input on the AD7714 allows the user to place
the part in a power-down mode when it is not required to pro-
vide conversion results The AD7714 retains the contents of all
its on-chip registers (including the data register) while in
standby mode. When in standby mode, the digital interface is
reset and DRDY is reset to a Logic 1. Data cannot be accessed
from the part while in standby mode. When released from standby
mode, the part starts to process data and a new word is available
in the data register in 3 × 1/Output rate from when the STANDBY
input goes high.
Supply Current
The current consumption on the AD7714 is specified for sup-
plies in the range +3 V to +3.6 V and in the range +4.75 V to
+5.25 V. The part operates over a +2.85 V to +5.25 V supply
range and the IDD for the part varies as the supply voltage varies
over this range. Figure 5 shows the variation of the typical
IDD with VDD voltage for both a 1 MHz external clock and a
2.4576 MHz external clock at +25°C. The AD7714 is operated
in unbuffered mode and the internal boost bit on the part is
turned off. The relationship shows that the IDD is minimized by
operating the part with lower VDD voltages. IDD on the AD7714
is also minimized by using an external master clock or by opti-
mizing external components when using the on-chip oscillator
circuit. The Y grade part is specified from 2.7 V to 3.3 V and
4.75 V to 5.25 V.
Placing the part in standby mode reduces the total current to
5 µA typical when the part is operated from an external master
clock, provided this master clock is stopped. If the external
clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current
increases to 150 µA typical with 5 V supplies and 75 µA typical
with 3.3 V supplies. If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as
