19-3051; Rev 0; 10/03
16-Bit, Low-Power, 2-Channel,
Sigma-Delta ADC
General Description
Features
The MX7705 low-power, 2-channel, serial-output ana-
log-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a sigma-delta
modulator with a digital filter to achieve 16-bit resolution
with no missing codes. This ADC is pin compatible and
software compatible with the AD7705. The MX7705 fea-
tures an on-chip input buffer and programmable-gain
amplifier (PGA). The device offers an SPI-/QSPI-/
MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface.
The MX7705 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.25V supply.
The operating supply current is 320µA (typ) with a 3V
supply. Power-down mode reduces the supply current to
2µA (typ).

ꢀ Single (2.7V to 3.6V) or (4.75V to 5.25V) Supply
Self-calibration and system calibration allow the MX7705
to correct for gain and offset errors. Excellent DC perfor-
mance ( 0.003ꢀ ꢁSR IꢂN) and low noise (650nV) maꢃe
the MX7705 ideal for measuring low-frequency signals
with a wide dynamic range. The device accepts fully dif-
ferential bipolar/unipolar inputs. An internal input buffer
allows for input signals with high source impedances. An
on-chip digital filter, with a programmable cutoff and out-
put data rate, processes the output of the sigma-delta
modulator. The first notch frequency of the digital filter is
chosen to provide 150dB rejection of common-mode
50Hz or 60Hz noise and 98dB rejection of normal-mode
50Hz or 60Hz noise. A PGA and digital filtering allow sig-
nals to be directly acquired with little or no signal-condi-
tioning requirements.
