3 V supplies and 1 MHz master clock, making them ideal processor applications with a 3-wire serial interface,
for use in low power systems. Standby current is less than 8 reducing the number of interconnect lines and reducing
μA. the number of opto-couplers required in isolated systems.
2. The programmable gain input allows the AD7705/AD7706 4. The parts feature excellent static performance
to accept input signals directly from a strain gage or specifications with 16 bits, no missing codes, ±0.003%
transducer, removing a considerable amount of signal accuracy, and low rms noise (<600 nV). Endpoint errors

Temperature range is −40°C to +85°C.
2
These numbers are established from characterization or design data at initial product release.
3
A calibration is effectively a conversion; therefore, these errors are of the order of the conversion noise shown in Table 5 and Table 7. This applies after calibration at
the temperature of interest.
4
Recalibration at any temperature removes these drift errors.
5
Positive full-scale error includes zero-scale errors (unipolar offset error or bipolar zero error) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
6
Full-scale drift includes zero-scale drift (unipolar offset drift or bipolar zero drift) and applies to both unipolar and bipolar input ranges.
7
Gain error does not include zero-scale errors. It is calculated as (full-scale error – unipolar offset error) for unipolar ranges and (full-scale error - bipolar zero error) for
bipolar ranges.
8
Gain drift does not include unipolar offset drift or bipolar zero drift. It is effectively the drift of the part if only zero-scale calibrations are performed.
9
This common-mode voltage range is allowed, provided that the input voltage on analog inputs is not more positive than VDD + 30 mV or more negative than
GND − 100 mV. Parts are functional with voltages down to GND − 200 mV, but with increased leakage at high temperatures.
10
The AD7705/AD7706 can tolerate absolute analog input voltages down to GND − 200 mV, but the leakage current increases.
11
The analog input voltage range on AIN(+) is given with respect to the voltage on AIN(−) on the AD7705, and with respect to the voltage of the COMMON input on the
AD7706. The absolute voltage on the analog inputs should not be more positive than VDD + 30 mV, or more negative than GND − 100 mV for specified performance.
Input voltages of GND − 200 mV can be accommodated, but with increased leakage at high temperatures.
12
VREF = REFIN(+) − REFIN(−).
13
These logic output levels apply to the MCLK OUT only when it is loaded with one CMOS load.
14
Sample tested at 25°C to ensure compliance.
15
After calibration, if the analog input exceeds positive full scale, the converter outputs all 1s. If the analog input is less than negative full scale, the device outputs all 0s.
16
These calibration and span limits apply, provided that the absolute voltage on the analog inputs does not exceed VDD + 30 mV or go more negative than
GND − 100 mV. The offset calibration limit applies to both the unipolar zero point and the bipolar zero point.
17
When using a crystal or ceramic resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the VDD current and power dissipation varies depending on the
crystal or resonator type (see Clocking and Oscillator Circuit section).
18
If the external master clock continues to run in standby mode, the standby current increases to 150 μA typical at 5 V and 75 μA at 3 V. When using a crystal or ceramic
resonator across the MCLK pins as the clock source for the device, the internal oscillator continues to run in standby mode, and the power dissipation depends on the
crystal or resonator type (see Standby Mode section).
19
Measured at dc and applies in the selected pass band. PSRR at 50 Hz exceeds 120 dB, with filter notches of 25 Hz or 50 Hz. PSRR at 60 Hz exceeds 120 dB, with filter
notches of 20 Hz or 60 Hz.

The AD7705/AD7706 are production tested with f at 2.4576 MHz (1 MHz for some I tests). They are guaranteed by characterization to operate at 400 kHz.

These numbers are measured with the load circuit of Figure 2 and defined as the time required for the output to cross the VOL or VOH limits.
6
These numbers are derived from the measured time taken by the data output to change 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 2. The measured number is then
extrapolated back to remove effects of charging or discharging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times quoted in the timing characteristics are the true bus
relinquish times of the part and as such are independent of external bus loading capacitances.

DRDY returns high upon completion of the first read from the device after an output update. The same data can be reread while DRDY is high, but care should be
taken that subsequent reads do not occur close to the next output update.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Pin No. AD7705 AD7706 Description
1 SCLK SCLK Serial Clock. An external serial clock is applied to the Schmitt-triggered logic input to access serial
data from the AD7705/AD7706. This serial clock can be a continuous clock with all data transmitted in
a continuous train of pulses. Alternatively, it can be a noncontinuous clock with the information
transmitted to the AD7705/AD7706 in smaller batches of data.
2 MCLK IN MCLK IN Master Clock Signal. This can be provided in the form of a crystal/resonator or external clock. A
crystal/resonator can be tied across the Pin MCLK IN and Pin MCLK OUT. Alternatively, the MCLK IN
pin can be driven with a CMOS-compatible clock with the MCLK OUT pin left unconnected. The parts
can be operated with clock frequencies in the range of 500 kHz to 5 MHz.
3 MCLK OUT MCLK OUT When the master clock for these devices is a crystal/resonator, the crystal/resonator is connected
between Pin MCLK IN and Pin MCLK OUT. If an external clock is applied to Pin MCLK IN, Pin MCLK OUT
provides an inverted clock signal. This clock can be used to provide a clock source for external
circuitry and is capable of driving 1 CMOS load. If the user does not require this clock externally, Pin
MCLK OUT can be turned off via the CLKDIS bit of the clock register. This ensures that the part does
not unnecessarily burn power driving capacitive loads on Pin MCLK OUT.
4 CS CS Chip Select. Active low logic input used to select the AD7705/AD7706. With this input hardwired low,
the AD7705/AD7706 can operate in its 3-wire interface mode with Pin SCLK, Pin DIN, and Pin DOUT
used to interface to the device. The CS pin can be used to select the device communicating with the
AD7705/AD7706.
5 RESET RESET Logic Input. Active low input that resets the control logic, interface logic, calibration coefficients,
digital filter, and analog modulator of the parts to power-on status.
6 AIN2(+) AIN1 Positive Input of the Differential Analog Input Pair AIN2(+)/AIN2(−) for AD7705. Channel 1 for AD7706.
7 AIN1(+) AIN2 Positive Input of the Differential Analog Input Pair AIN1(+)/AIN1(−) for AD7705. Channel 2 for AD7706.
8 AIN1(−) COMMON Negative Input of the Differential Analog Input Pair AIN1(+)/AIN1(−) for AD7705. COMMON input for
AD7706 with Channel 1, Channel 2, and Channel 3 referenced to this input.
9 REF IN(+) REF IN(+) Reference Input. Positive input of the differential reference input to the AD7705/AD7706. The reference
input is differential with the provision that REF IN(+) must be greater than REF IN(−).
REF IN(+) can lie anywhere between V and GND.
DD
10 REF IN(−) REF IN(−)
Reference Input. Negative input of the differential reference input to the AD7705/AD7706. The
REF IN(−) can lie anywhere between VDD and GND, provided that REF IN(+) is greater than REF IN(−).
11 AIN2(−) AIN3 Negative Input of the Differential Analog Input Pair AIN2(+)/AIN2(−) for AD7705. Channel 3 for AD7706.
12 DRDY DRDY Logic Output. A logic low on this output indicates that a new output word is available from the
AD7705/AD7706 data register. The DRDY pin returns high upon completion of a read operation of a
full output word. If no data read has taken place between output updates, the DRDY line returns high
for 500 × tCLK IN cycles prior to the next output update. While DRDY is high, a read operation should
neither be attempted nor in progress to avoid reading from the data register as it is being updated.
The DRDY line returns low after the update has taken place. DRDY is also used to indicate when the
AD7705/AD7706 has completed its on-chip calibration sequence.
13 DOUT DOUT Serial Data Output. Serial data is read from the output shift register on the part. The output shift
register can contain information from the setup register, communication register, clock register, or
data register, depending on the register selection bits of the communication register.

Table 10. Communication Register Bit Description
Register Description
0/DRDY For a write operation to the communications register, a 0 must be written to this bit. If a 1 is written to this bit, the part does
not clock subsequent bits into the register. It stays at this bit location until a 0 is written. Then, the next seven bits are loaded
into the communication register. For a read operation, this bit provides the status of the DRDY flag, which is the same as the
DRDY output pin.
RS2–RS0 Register Selection Bits. These bits are used to select which of the AD7705/AD7706 registers are being accessed during the
serial interface communication.
R/W Read/WRITE Select. This bit selects whether the next operation is a read or write operation. A 0 indicates a write cycle for the
next operation to the selected register, and a 1 indicates a read operation from the selected register.
STBY Standby. Writing 1 to this bit puts the part into standby or power-down mode. In this mode, the part consumes only 10 μA of
power supply current. The part retains its calibration coefficients and control word information when in standby. Writing 0 to
this bit places the parts in normal operating mode.
CH1, CH0 Channel Select. These two bits select a channel for conversion or for access to the calibration coefficients, as outlined in
Table 12. Following a calibration on a channel, three pairs of calibration registers store the calibration coefficients. Table 12
(for the AD7705) and Table 13 (for the AD7706) show which channel combinations have independent calibration coefficients.
With CH1 at Logic 1 and CH0 at Logic 0, the AD7705 looks at the AIN1(−) input internally shorted to itself, while the AD7706 looks
at the COMMON input internally shorted to itself. This can be used as a test method to evaluate the noise performance of the
parts with no external noise sources. In this mode, the AIN1(−)/COMMON input should be connected to an external voltage
within the allowable common-mode range for the parts.

G2 to G0 Gain Selection Bits. These bits select the gain setting for the on-chip PGA, as outlined in Table 17.
B/U Bipolar/Unipolar Operation. A 0 in this bit selects bipolar operation; a 1 in this bit selects unipolar operation.
BUF Buffer Control. With this bit at 0, the on-chip buffer on the analog input is shorted out. With the buffer shorted out, the current
flowing in the VDD line is reduced. When this bit is high, the on-chip buffer is in series with the analog input, allowing the input
to handle higher source impedances.
FSYNC Filter Synchronization. When this bit is high, the nodes of the digital filter, the filter control logic, the calibration control logic,
and the analog modulator are held in a reset state. When this bit goes low, the modulator and filter start to process data, and
a valid word is available in 3 × 1/output rate, that is, the settling time of the filter. This FSYNC bit does not affect the digital
interface and does not reset the DRDY output if it is low.

during this calibration sequence. This input voltage should remain stable for the duration of the calibration. The DRDY
output or bit goes high when calibration is initiated, and returns low when zero-scale calibration is complete and a new

ZERO Zero. A zero must be written to these bits to ensure correct operation of the AD7705/AD7706. Failure to do so might result in
unspecified operation of the device.
CLKDIS Master Clock Disable Bit. Logic 1 in this bit disables the master clock, preventing it from appearing at the MCLK OUT pin. When
disabled, the MCLK OUT pin is forced low. This feature allows the user the flexibility of either using the MCLK OUT as a clock
source for other devices in the system, or turning off the MCLK OUT as a power-saving feature. When using an external master
clock on the MCLK IN pin, the AD7705/AD7706 continue to have internal clocks and convert normally with the CLKDIS bit
active. When using a crystal oscillator or ceramic resonator across Pin MCLK IN and Pin MCLK OUT, the AD7705/AD7706 clocks
are stopped, and no conversions take place when the CLKDIS bit is active.
CLKDIV Clock Divider Bit. With this bit at Logic 1, the clock frequency appearing at the MCLK IN pin is divided by 2 before being used
internally by the AD7705/AD7706. For example, when this bit is set to Logic 1, the user can operate with a 4.9152 MHz crystal
between Pin MCLK IN and Pin MCLK OUT, and internally the part operates with the specified 2.4576 MHz. With this bit at
Logic 0, the clock frequency appearing at the MCLK IN pin is the frequency used internally by the part.
CLK Clock Bit. This bit should be set in accordance with the operating frequency of the AD7705/AD7706. If the device has a master
clock frequency of 2.4576 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 4.9152 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), this bit should be set to Logic 1. If the device has a
master clock frequency of 1 MHz (CLKDIV = 0) or 2 MHz (CLKDIV = 1), this bit should be set to Logic 0. This bit sets up the
appropriate scaling currents for a given operating frequency and, together with FS1 and FS0, chooses the output update rate
for the device. If this bit is not set correctly for the master clock frequency of the device, the AD7705/AD7706 might not
operate to specification.
FS1, FS0 Filter Selection Bits. Along with the CLK bit, FS1 and FS0 determine the output update rate, the filter’s first notch, and the −3 dB
3 3
frequency, as outlined in Table 20. The on-chip digital filter provides a sinc (or (sinx/x) ) filter response. In association with the
gain selection, it also determines the output noise of the device. Changing the filter notch frequency, as well as the selected gain,
impacts resolution. Table 5 through Table 8 show the effects of filter notch frequency and gain on the output noise and effective
resolution of the part. The output data rate, or effective conversion time, for the device is equal to the frequency selected for
the first notch of the filter. For example, if the first notch of the filter is selected at 50 Hz, a new word is available at a 50 Hz output
rate, or every 20 ms. If the first notch is at 500 Hz, a new word is available every 2 ms. A calibration should be initiated when
any of these bits are changed. The settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is worst case 4 × 1/(output data rate). For
example, with the filter-first notch at 50 Hz, the settling time of the filter to a full-scale step input is 80 ms maximum. If the first
notch is at 500 Hz, the settling time is 8 ms maximum. This settling time can be reduced to 3 × 1/(output data rate) by
synchronizing the step input change with a reset of the digital filter. In other words, if the step input takes place with the
FSYNC bit high, the settling time is 3 × 1/(output data rate) from the time when the FSYNC bit returns low. The −3 dB
frequency is determined by the programmed first notch frequency according to the relationship:
filter− 3 dB frequency= 0.262× filter - firstnotch frequency
