CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The AD7705/AD7706 is a sigma-delta A/D converter with on-
chip digital filtering, intended for the measurement of wide
dynamic range, low frequency signals such as those in industrial
control or process control applications. It contains a sigma-delta
(or charge-balancing) ADC, a calibration microcontroller with
on-chip static RAM, a clock oscillator, a digital filter and a bi-
directional serial communications port. The part consumes only
320 A of power supply current, making it ideal for battery-
powered or loop-powered instruments. These parts operate with
a supply voltage of 2.7 V to 3.3 V or 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
The AD7705 contains two programmable-gain fully differential
analog input channels, while the AD7706 contains three pseudo
differential analog input channels. The selectable gains on these
inputs are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 allowing the part to
accept unipolar signals of between 0 mV to +20 mV and 0 V to
+2.5 V, or bipolar signals in the range from 20 mV to 2.5 V
when the reference input voltage equals +2.5 V. With a refer-
ence voltage of +1.225 V, the input ranges are from 0 mV to
+10 mV to 0 V to +1.225 V in unipolar mode, and from 10 mV
to 1.225 V in bipolar mode. Note that the bipolar ranges are
with respect to AIN(–) on the AD7705, and with respect to
COMMON on the AD7706, and not with respect to GND.
The input signal to the analog input is continuously sampled
at a rate determined by the frequency of the master clock,
MCLK IN, and the selected gain. A charge-balancing A/D
converter (Sigma-Delta Modulator) converts the sampled signal
into a digital pulse train whose duty cycle contains the digital
information. The programmable gain function on the analog

input is also incorporated in this sigma-delta modulator with the
input sampling frequency being modified to give the higher
gains. A sinc
sigma-delta modulator and updates the output register at a rate
determined by the first notch frequency of this filter. The out-
put data can be read from the serial port randomly or periodi-
cally at any rate up to the output register update rate. The first
notch of this digital filter (and hence its –3 dB frequency) can
be programmed via the Setup Register bits FS0 and FS1. With
a master clock frequency of 2.4576 MHz, the programmable
range for this first notch frequency is from 50 Hz to 500 Hz,
giving a programmable range for the –3 dB frequency of
13.1 Hz to 131 Hz. With a master clock frequency of 1 MHz,
the programmable range for this first notch frequency is from
20 Hz to 200 Hz, giving a programmable range for the –3 dB
frequency of 5.24 Hz to 52.4 Hz.
The basic connection diagram for the AD7705 is shown in
Figure 10. This shows the AD7705 being driven from the ana-
log +5 V supply. An AD780, precision +2.5 V reference, pro-
vides the reference source for the part. On the digital side, the
part is configured for three-wire operation with CS tied to
GND. A quartz crystal or ceramic resonator provide the master
clock source for the part. In most cases, it will be necessary to
connect capacitors on the crystal or resonator to ensure that it
does not oscillate at overtones of its fundamental operating fre-
quency. The values of capacitors will vary, depending on the
manufacturer’s specifications. The same setup applies to the
AD7706.
