Digital Inputs

The digital inputs applied to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 can

go to 7 V and are not restricted by the AVDD + 0.3 V limit on the

analog inputs.

Because the SCLK, DIN, and CS inputs are not restricted by the

AVDD + 0.3 V limit, power supply sequencing issues are avoided.

If CS, DIN, or SCLK is applied before AVDD, there is no risk of

latch-up as there would be on the analog inputs if a signal

greater than 0.3 V is applied prior to AVDD.

VDRIVE

The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 also include the VDRIVE feature.

VDRIVE controls the voltage at which the serial interface operates.

VDRIVE allows the ADC to easily interface to both 3 V and 5 V

processors. For example, if the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 are

operated with a VDD of 5 V, the VDRIVE pin can be powered

from a 3 V supply. The AD7904/AD7914/AD7924 have better

dynamic performance with a VDD of 5 V while still being able to

interface to 3 V processors. Care should be taken to ensure that

VDRIVE does not exceed AVDD by more than 0.3 V (see the

Absolute Maximum Ratings section).

Reference

An external reference source should be used to supply the 2.5 V

reference to the AD7904/AD7914/AD7924. Errors in the refer-

ence source result in gain errors in the AD7904/AD7914/

AD7924 transfer function and add to the specified full-scale

errors of the part. A capacitor of at least 0.1 µF should be placed

on the REFIN pin. Suitable reference sources for the AD7904/

AD7914/AD7924 include the AD780, REF193, and AD1582.

If 2.5 V is applied to the REFIN pin, the analog input range can

be either 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, depending on the setting of

the RANGE bit in the control register.
