THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD7329 is a fast, 8-channel, 12-bit plus sign, bipolar input,
serial A/D converter. The AD7329 can accept bipolar input ranges
that include ±10 V, ±5 V, and ±2.5 V; it can also accept a 0 V to
+10 V unipolar input range. A different analog input range can
be programmed on each analog input channel via the on-chip
registers. The AD7329 has a high speed serial interface that can
operate at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS.
The AD7329 requires V
voltage analog input structures. These supplies must be equal to
or greater than the analog input range. See Table 6 for the
requirements of these supplies for each analog input range. The
AD7329 requires a low voltage 2.7 V to 5.25 V V
power the ADC core.

In order to meet the specified performance specifications when
the AD7329 is configured with the minimum V
supplies for a chosen analog input range, the throughput rate
should be decreased from the maximum throughput range (see
the Typical Performance Characteristics section).
The analog inputs can be configured as either eight single-ended
inputs, four true differential input pairs, four pseudo differential
inputs, or seven pseudo differential inputs. Selection can be made
by programming the mode bits, Mode 0 and Mode 1, in the
control register.
The serial clock input accesses data from the part and provides
the clock source for the successive approximation ADC. The
AD7329 has an on-chip 2.5 V reference. However, the AD7329
can also work with an external reference. On power-up, the

external reference operation is the default option. If the internal
reference is the preferred option, the user must write to the
reference bit in the control register to select the internal
reference operation.
The AD7329 also features power-down options to allow power
savings between conversions. The power-down modes are
selected by programming the on-chip control register as
described in the Modes of Operation section.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The AD7329 is a successive approximation analog-to-digital
converter built around two capacitive DACs. Figure 24 and
Figure 25 show simplified schematics of the ADC in single-
ended mode during the acquisition and conversion phases,
respectively. Figure 26 and Figure

composed of control logic, a SAR, and capacitive DACs. In
Figure 24 (the acquisition phase), SW2 is closed and SW1 is in
Position A, the comparator is held in a balanced condition, and
the sampling capacitor array acquires the signal on the input.
When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 25), SW2 opens and
SW1 moves to Position B, causing the comparator to become
unbalanced. The control logic and the charge redistribution
DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from
the capacitive DAC to bring the comparator back into a
balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the
conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC
