ADuM7701
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
A differential signal of 0 V ideally results in a stream of
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
alternating 1s and 0s at the MDAT output pin. This output is
high 50% of the time and low 50% of the time. A differential
input of 250 mV produces a stream of 1s and 0s that are high
89.06% of the time. A differential input of −250 mV produces a
stream of 1s and 0s that are high 10.94% of the time.
The ADuM7701 isolated Σ-Δ modulator converts an analog
input signal to a high speed (21 MHz maximum), single-bit data
stream. The time average single-bit data from the modulator is
directly proportional to the input signal. Figure 25 shows a
typical application circuit where the ADuM7701 provides
isolation between the analog input, a current sensing resistor
or shunt, and the digital output, which is then processed by a
digital filter to provide an N-bit word.
A differential input of 320 mV ideally results in a stream of all
1s. A differential input of −320 mV ideally results in a stream of
all 0s. The ADuM7701 absolute full-scale range is 320 mV, and
the specified full-scale performance range is 250 mV, as shown
in Table 13.
ANALOG INPUT
The pseudo differential analog input of the ADuM7701 is
implemented with a switched capacitor circuit. This circuit
implements a second-order modulator stage that digitizes the
input signal to a single-bit output stream. The sample clock
(MCLKIN) provides the clock signal for the conversion process
as well as the output data framing clock. This clock source is
externally supplied to the ADuM7701. The analog input signal
is continuously sampled by the modulator and compared to
an internal voltage reference. A digital stream that accurately
represents the analog input over time appears at the output of
the converter (see Figure 26).
