Figure 23. ADC Simplified Schematic

The AD7679 is a very fast, low power, single-supply, precise

18-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using successive

approximation architecture.

CONVERTER OPERATION

The AD7679 is a successive approximation ADC based on a

charge redistribution DAC. Figure 23 shows the simplified

schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two

identical arrays of 18 binary weighted capacitors that are

connected to the two comparator inputs.

The AD7679’s linearity and dynamic range are similar or better

than many Σ-Δ ADCs. With the advantages of its successive

architecture, which ease multiplexing and reduce power with

throughput, it can be advantageous in applications that

normally use Σ-Δ ADCs.

During the acquisition phase, terminals of the array tied to the

comparator’s input are connected to AGND via SW+ and SW–.

All independent switches are connected to the analog inputs.

Thus, the capacitor arrays are used as sampling capacitors and

acquire the analog signal on IN+ and IN– inputs. When the

acquisition phase is complete and the CNVST input goes low, a

conversion phase is initiated. When the conversion phase

begins, SW+ and SW– are opened first. The two capacitor arrays

are then disconnected from the inputs and connected to the

REFGND input. Therefore, the differential voltage between the

IN+ and IN– inputs captured at the end of the acquisition phase

is applied to the comparator inputs, causing the comparator to

become unbalanced. By switching each element of the capacitor

array between REFGND and REF, the comparator input varies

by binary weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4...VREF/262144).

The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB

first, to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition.

After completing this process, the control logic generates the

ADC output code and brings the BUSY output low.

The AD7679 provides the user with an on-chip track/hold,

successive approximation ADC that does not exhibit any

pipeline or latency, making it ideal for multiple multiplexed

channel applications.

The AD7679 can be operated from a single 5 V supply and can

be interfaced to either 5 V or 3 V digital logic. It is housed in a

48-lead LQFP, or a tiny 48-lead LFCSP that offers space savings

and allows for flexible configurations as either a serial or

parallel interface. The AD7679 is pin-to-pin compatible with

the AD7674, AD7676, and AD7678.
