AD7724PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONSMnemonicDescription AVDD Analog Positive Supply Voltage, 5 V ± 5%. AGND Ground reference point for analog circuitry. AVIN(–), AVIN(+) Analog Input to Modulator A. In unipolar operation, the analog input range on AVIN(+) is AVIN(–) to (AVIN(–) + VREF); for bipolar operation, the analog input range on AVIN(+) is (AVIN(–) ± VREF/2). The absolute analog input range must lie between 0 and AVDD. The input range is continuously sampled and pro- cessed by the analog modulator. STBY Standby, Logic Input. When STBY is high, the device is placed in a low power mode. When STBY is low, the device is powered up. MZERO Digital Control Input. When MZERO is high, the modulator inputs are internally grounded i.e. tied to AGND in unipolar mode and REF2 in bipolar mode. MZERO allows on-chip offsets to be calibrated out. MZERO is low for normal operation. RESET Reset Logic Input. RESET is an asynchronous input. When RESET is taken high, the sigma-delta modulator is reset by shorting the integrator capacitors in the modulator. DVAL goes low for 20 MCLK cycles while the modulator is being reset. XTAL1 Input to Crystal Oscillator Amplifier. This pin can also be used to gain up a small input square or sine wave with XTAL_OFF tied low (see Figure 32 on page 12). When a clock source is applied to XTAL1, SCLK will be inverted and the XTAL1_CLK to SCLK delay will be typically 14 ns longer than tDELAY. XTAL2/MCLK Clock Input. An external clock source can be applied directly to this pin with XTAL_OFF tied high. In this case, XTAL1 should be tied to AGND. Alternatively, a parallel resonant fundamental frequency crystal, in parallel with a 1 MΩ resistor, can be connected between XTAL1 and XTAL2 with XTAL_OFF tied low. Exter- nal capacitors are then required from the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins to ground. Consult the crystal manufacturer's recommendation for the load capacitors. A sine wave can also be used to provide the clock. A sine wave with a voltage swing between 0.4 V p-p and 4 V p-p is needed. XTAL_OFF is tied low and a 1 MΩ resistor is needed between XTAL1 and XTAL2. A 22 pF capacitor is connected in parallel with this resistor. The sine wave is ac coupled to XTAL1 using a 120 pF capacitor. The use of a sine wave to generate the clock eliminates the need for a square wave clock source which introduces noise. DVDD Digital Supply Voltage, 5 V ± 5%. DGND Ground reference for the digital circuitry. ADATA Modulator A Bit Stream. The digital bit stream from the sigma-delta modulator is output at ADATA. BDATA Modulator B Bit Stream. The digital bit stream from the sigma-delta modulator is output at BDATA. SCLK Serial Clock, Logic Output. The bit stream from modulator A and modulator B is valid on the rising edge of ASCLK. DVDD1 Digital Supply Voltage for the digital outputs. DVDD1 can have a value of 5 V ± 5% or 3 V ± 5% so that the logic outputs can be 3 V or 5 V compatible. DVAL Data Valid Logic Output. A logic high on DVAL indicates that the data bit stream from the AD7724 is an accurate digital representation of the analog voltage at the input to the sigma-delta modulator. The DVAL pin is set low for 20 MCLK cycles if the analog input is overranged. XTAL_OFF Oscillator Enable Input. A logic high disables the crystal oscillator amplifier to allow use of an external clock source. XTAL_OFF is set to a logic low when an external crystal is used between XTAL1 and XTAL2. BIP Analog Input Range Select, Logic Input. A logic low on this input selects unipolar mode. A logic high selects bipolar mode. GC Digital Control Input. When GC is high, the gain error of the modulator can be calibrated. BVIN(–), BVIN(+) Analog Input to Modulator B. In unipolar operation, the analog input range on BVIN(+) is BVIN(–) to (BVIN(–) + VREF); for bipolar operation, the analog input range on BVIN(+) is (BVIN(–) ± VREF/2). The absolute analog input range must lie between 0 and AVDD. The input range is continuously sampled and pro- cessed by the analog modulator. REF2B Reference Input/Output to Sigma-Delta Modulator B. REF2B connects to the output of an external buffer amplifier used to drive sigma-delta modulator B. When REF2B is used as an input, REF1 must be connected to AGND. REF1 Reference Input/Output. REF1 connects through 3 kΩ to the output of the internal 2.5 V reference and to the input of two buffer amplifiers that drive Σ-∆ modulator A and Σ-∆ modulator B. The pin can be overdriven with an external 2.5 V reference. REF2A Reference Input/Output to Sigma-Delta Modulator A. REF2A connects to the output of an external buffer amplifier used to drive sigma-delta modulator A. When REF2A is used as an input, REF1 must be connected to AGND. –6– REV. B
