AD7783NOISE PERFORMANCEMASTER MODE (MODE = 0) Table I shows the output rms noise and output peak-to-peak In this mode, SCLK is provided by the AD7783. With CS low, resolution in bits (rounded to the nearest 0.5 LSB) for the two SCLK becomes active when a conversion is complete and gener- input voltage ranges.

The first is the electrical noise in the semi- 24-bit word has been output, SCLK idles high until the next conductor devices (device noise) used in the implementation of conversion is complete. DOUT/RDY returns high and will remain the modulator. Secondly, when the analog input is converted high until another conversion is available. It then operates as a into the digital domain, quantization noise is added. The device RDY signal again.

SLAVE MODE (MODE = 1)Table I. Typical Output RMS Noise and In slave mode, the SCLK is generated externally. SCLK must Peak-to-Peak Resolution vs. Input Range idle high between data transfers. With CS low, DOUT/RDY goes low when a conversion is complete. Twenty-four SCLK Input Range pulses are needed to transfer the digital word from the AD7783. ± 160 mV ± 2.56 V Twenty-four consecutive pulses can be generated or, alterna- tively, the data transfer can be split into batches. This is useful Noise (mV) 0.65 2.30 when interfacing to a microcontroller that uses 8-bit transfers. Peak-to-Peak Resolution (Bits) 16.5 18.5 Data is output following the SCLK falling edge and is valid on the SCLK rising edge. DIGITAL INTERFACE The AD7783’s serial interface consists of four signals: CS, CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION SCLK, DOUT/RDY, and MODE. The MODE pin is used to Analog Input Channel select the master/slave mode of operation. When the part is The ADC has one fully differential input channel. It feeds into a configured as a master, SCLK is an output; SCLK is an input high impedance input stage of the buffer amplifier. As a result, when slave mode is selected. Data transfers take place with the ADC input can handle significant source impedances and is respect to this SCLK signal. The DOUT/RDY line is used tailored for direct connection to external resistive-type sensors, for accessing data from the data register. This pin also functions such as strain gages or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). as a RDY line. When a conversion is complete, DOUT/RDY The absolute input voltage range on the ADC input is restricted goes low to indicate that data is ready to be read from the to a range between GND + 100 mV and VDD – 100 mV. Care AD7783’s data register. It is reset high when a read operation must be taken in setting up the common-mode voltage and input from the data register is complete. It also goes high prior to voltage range so that these limits are not exceeded; otherwise, the updating of the output register to indicate when not to there will be a degradation in linearity and noise performance. read from the device to ensure that a data read is not attempted Programmable Gain Amplifier while the register is being updated. The digital conversion is The output from the buffer on the ADC is applied to the input of also output on this pin. the on-chip programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA gain CS is used to select the device and to place the device in standby range is programmed via the RANGE pin. With an external 2.5 V mode. When CS is taken low, the AD7783 is powered up, the reference applied, the PGA can be programmed to have a bipolar PLL locks, and the device initiates a conversion. The device will range of ± 160 mV (RANGE = 0) or ± 2.56 V (RANGE = 1). continue to convert until CS is taken high. When CS is taken These are the ranges that should appear at the input to the high, the AD7783 is placed in standby mode, minimizing the on-chip PGA. current consumption. The conversion is aborted, DOUT and Bipolar Configuration/Output Coding SCLK are three-stated, and the result in the data register is lost.
