GENERAL DESCRIPTION†
The AD7714 is a complete analog front end for low-frequency
measurement applications. The device accepts low level signals
directly from a transducer and outputs a serial digital word. It
employs a sigma-delta conversion technique to realize up to 24
bits of no missing codes performance. The input signal is applied
to a proprietary programmable gain front end based around an
analog modulator. The modulator output is processed by an onchip 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.
The part features three differential analog inputs (which can also
be configured as five pseudo-differential analog inputs) as well as a
differential reference input. It operates from a single supply (+3 V
or +5 V). The AD7714 thus performs all signal conditioning and
conversion for a system consisting of up to five channels.
The AD7714 is ideal for use in smart, microcontroller- or DSPbased systems. It features a serial interface that can be configured

for three-wire operation. Gain settings, signal polarity and channel
selection can be configured in software using the serial port. The
AD7714 provides self-calibration, system calibration and background calibration options and also allows the user to read and
write the on-chip calibration registers.
CMOS construction ensures very low power dissipation, and the
power-down mode reduces the standby power consumption to
15 µW typ. The part is available in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide, plastic
dual-in-line package (DIP); a 24-lead small outline (SOIC)
package, a 28-lead shrink small outline package (SSOP) and a
24-lead thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD7714Y offers the following features in addition to the
standard AD7714: wider temperature range, Schmitt trigger
on SCLK and DIN, operation down to 2.7 V, lower power
consumption, better linearity, and availability in 24-lead
TSSOP package.
2. The AD7714 consumes less than 500 µA (fCLK IN = 1 MHz)
or 1 mA (fCLK IN = 2.5 MHz) in total supply current, making
it ideal for use in loop-powered systems.
3. The programmable gain channels allow the AD7714 to accept input signals directly from a strain gage or transducer
removing a considerable amount of signal conditioning.
4. The AD7714 is ideal for microcontroller or DSP processor
applications with a three-wire serial interface reducing the number of interconnect lines and reducing the number of optocouplers required in isolated systems. The part contains
on-chip registers that allow control over filter cutoff, input gain,
channel selection, signal polarity and calibration modes.
5. The part features excellent static performance specifications
with 24-bit no missing codes, ±0.0015% accuracy and low
rms noise (140 nV). Endpoint errors and the effects of temperature drift are eliminated by on-chip self-calibration,
which removes zero-scale and full-scale errors.
