AD7650PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS (continued)Pin No.MnemonicTypeDescription 35 CNVST DI Start Conversion. A falling edge on CNVST puts the internal sample/hold into the hold state and initiates a conversion. In impulse mode (IMPULSE HIGH and WARP LOW), if CNVST is held low when the acquisition phase (t8) is complete, the internal sample/hold is put into the hold state and a conversion is immediately started. 36 AGND P Must Be Tied to Analog Ground 37 REF AI Reference Input Voltage 38 REFGND AI Reference Input Analog Ground 39 IN– AI Analog Input Ground 43 IN+ AI Primary Analog Input with a Range of 0 V to VREF.

The deviation is SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line. rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY ERROR (DNL) expressed in decibels. In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is SIGNAL TO (NOISE + DISTORTION) RATIO (S/[N+D]) often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes S/(N+D) is the ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to are guaranteed. the rms sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist FULL-SCALE ERROR frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.

UNIPOLAR ZERO ERROR The first transition should occur at a level 1/2 LSB above analog TRANSIENT RESPONSE ground (19.073 µV for the 0 V–2.5 V range). Unipolar zero The time required for the AD7650 to achieve its rated accuracy error is the deviation of the actual transition from that point. after a full-scale step function is applied to its input.

The time required for the ADC to recover to full accuracy after an analog input signal 150% of full-scale is reduced to 50% of EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB) the full-scale value. ENOB is a measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is related to S/(N+D) by the following formula: ENOB = S N [ + D] − ( 1 7 . )6 /6 0.2 dB and is expressed in bits. REV. 0 –8–
