GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CMOS construction ensures low power dissipation and a hard-
ware programmable power-down mode reduces the standby
power consumption to only 150 µW typical. The part is avail-
able in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch wide, plastic and hermetic dual-in-line
package (DIP) as well as a 24-lead small outline (SOIC) package.
The AD7713 is a complete analog front end for low frequency
measurement applications. The device accepts low level signals
directly from a transducer or high level signals (4 × VREF) and
outputs a serial digital word. It employs a sigma-delta con-
version technique to realize up to 24 bits of no missing codes
performance. The input signal is applied to a proprietary pro-
grammable gain front end based around an analog modulator.
The modulator output is processed by an on-chip digital filter.
The first notch of this digital filter can be programmed via the
on-chip control register allowing adjustment of the filter cutoff
and settling time.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7713 consumes less than 1 mA in total supply cur-
rent, making it ideal for use in loop-powered systems.
2. The two programmable gain channels allow the AD7713 to
accept input signals directly from a transducer removing a
considerable amount of signal conditioning. To maximize the
flexibility of the part, the high level analog input accepts
4 × VREF signals. On-chip current sources provide excitation
for three-wire and four-wire RTD configurations.
The part features two differential analog inputs and one single-
ended high level analog input as well as a differential reference
input. It can be operated from a single supply (AVDD and DVDD
at +5 V). The part provides two current sources which can be
used to provide excitation in three-wire and four-wire RTD con-
figurations. The AD7713 thus performs all signal conditioning
and conversion for a single, dual or three-channel system.
3. No Missing Codes ensures true, usable, 24-bit dynamic
range coupled with excellent ±0.0015% accuracy. The effects
of temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip self-calibration,
which removes zero-scale and full-scale errors.
The AD7713 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller-based
systems. Gain settings, signal polarity and RTD current control
can be configured in software using the bidirectional serial port.
The AD7713 contains self-calibration, system calibration and
background calibration options and also allows the user to read
and to write the on-chip calibration registers.
4. The AD7713 is ideal for microcontroller or DSP processor
applications with an on-chip control register which allows
control over filter cutoff, input gain, signal polarity and cali-
bration modes. The AD7713 allows the user to read and
write the on-chip calibration registers.
