CIRCUIT INFORMATION

The AD7693 is a fast, low power, single-supply, precise, 16-bit

ADC using a successive approximation architecture.

The AD7693 is capable of converting 500,000 samples per

second (500 kSPS) and powers down between conversions.

When operating at 1 kSPS, for example, it consumes 40 µW

typically, ideal for battery-powered applications.

The AD7693 provides the user with an on-chip track-and-hold

and does not exhibit pipeline delay or latency, making it ideal

for multiple multiplexed channel applications.

The AD7693 is specified from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and can be

interfaced to any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family. It is housed in

a 10-lead MSOP or a tiny 10-lead LFCSP that combines space

savings and allows flexible configurations.

It is pin-for-pin compatible with the 16-bit AD7687 and

AD7688 and with the 18-bit AD7690 and AD7691.

CONVERTER OPERATION

The AD7693 is a successive approximation ADC based on a

charge redistribution DAC. Figure 25 shows the simplified

schematic of the ADC. The capacitive DAC consists of two

identical arrays of 16 binary-weighted capacitors, which are

connected to the two comparator inputs.

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

comparator’s input are connected to GND 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 the IN+ and IN− inputs. When the

acquisition phase is complete and the CNV input goes high, 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 GND 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 GND and REF, the comparator input varies by

binary-weighted voltage steps (VREF/2, VREF/4 ... VREF/32,768).

The control logic toggles these switches, starting with the MSB,

to bring the comparator back into a balanced condition. After

the completion of this process, the part returns to the

acquisition phase, and the control logic generates the ADC

output code and a busy signal indicator.

Because the AD7693 has an on-board conversion clock, the

serial clock, SCK, is not required for the conversion process.
