This serial clock input is for data transfers from the ADC. The SCLK has a Schmitt-triggered input. The serial clock can be continuous with all data transmitted in a constant train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information being transmitted from the ADC in smaller batches of data. 2 DOUT/RDY Serial Data Output/Data Ready Output. DOUT/RDY serves a dual purpose. DOUT/RDY operates as a data ready pin, going low to indicate the completion of a conversion. In addition, it functions as a serial data output pin to access the data register of the ADC. Eight status bits accompany each data read. See Figure 13 for further details. The DOUT/RDY falling edge can be used as an interrupt to a processor, indicating that new data is available. If the data is not read after the conversion, the pin goes high before the next update occurs. 3 AIN(+) Analog Input. AIN(+) is the positive terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN(+)/AIN(−). 4 AIN(−) Analog Input. AIN(−) is the negative terminal of the differential analog input pair AIN(+)/AIN(−). 5 REFIN(+) Positive Reference Input. An external reference can be applied between REFIN(+) and REFIN(–).

All the logic on the chip is reset, and the DOUT/RDY pin is tristated. When PDRST is high, the ADC is taken out of power-down mode. The on-chip clock powers up and settles, and the ADC continuously converts. The internal clock requires 1 ms approximately to power up. 10 NC This pin should be connected to GND for correct operation. EPAD Connect the exposed pad to ground. Rev.

FILTER, DATA RATE, AND SETTLING TIME 3 PDRST When is taken high, the AD7170 is taken out of power- The AD7170 uses a sinc filter. The output data rate is set to down mode. When the on-chip clock has powered up (1 ms, 125 Hz; thus, valid conversions are available every 1/125 = 8 ms. typically), the modulator then begins sampling the analog input. If a reset occurs, then the user must allow the complete settling RDY The DOUT/ pin becomes active, going high until a valid time for the first conversion after the reset. The settling time is equal to 24 ms. Subsequent conversions are available at 125 Hz. conversion is available. A reset is automatically performed on power-up. When a step change occurs on the analog input, the AD7170 requires several conversion cycles to generate a valid conversion.

A bipolar input –80 range does not imply that the part can tolerate negative voltages –90 with respect to system GND. Signals on the AIN(+) input are –100 referenced to the voltage on the AIN(−) input. For example, if 0 125 250 375 500 625750 AIN(−) is 2.5 V, the analog input range on the AIN(+) input is INPUT SIGNAL FREQUENCY (Hz) 0 V to 5 V when a 2.5 V reference is used. Figure 12.
