General Description

The AD7400 is a sigma-delta modulator that converts an analog input signal to a high-speed, 1-bit data stream with on-chip digital isolation using iCoupler® technology. It operates from a 5 V power supply and accepts a differential input signal of ±200 mV. The device continuously samples the analog input, eliminating the need for external sample-and-hold circuitry. The serial interface is digitally isolated, providing superior performance compared to optocoupler devices.

Typical Performance Characteristics

Performance graphs illustrate PSRR, SINAD, offset drift, gain error drift, and other parameters across various conditions.

Key Specifications
  • Differential Nonlinearity: Difference between measured and ideal 1 LSB change between adjacent ADC codes.
  • Integral Nonlinearity: Maximum deviation from a straight line through ADC transfer function endpoints.
  • Offset Error: Deviation of midscale code from ideal input voltage.
  • Gain Error: Deviation of full-scale codes from ideal values after offset error adjustment.
  • SINAD: Ratio of signal to noise plus distortion, dependent on quantization levels.
  • ENOB: Effective number of bits calculated from SINAD.
  • THD: Ratio of rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental.
  • CMRR: Ratio of power in ADC output to power of a sine wave applied to common-mode voltage.
  • PSRR: Maximum change in full-scale transition point due to power supply voltage change.
  • Isolation Transient Immunity: Rate of transient pulse beyond which data is corrupted.
Theory of Operation

The AD7400 is an isolated Σ-Δ modulator that converts an analog input into a high-speed single-bit data stream. The time average of this data is proportional to the input signal. The differential analog input uses a switched capacitor circuit to digitize the input signal into a 1-bit output stream. A Sinc3 filter is recommended for digital filtering and decimation to reconstruct the original signal.

Circuit Information

The AD7400 uses a switched capacitor design for its differential inputs, requiring low common-mode noise for optimal performance. A recommended RC network helps manage charge spikes during sampling. A Sinc3 filter can be implemented on an FPGA or DSP for digital filtering.

Applications Information

Proper grounding and layout are crucial to minimize board coupling across the isolation barrier. Decoupling capacitors should be placed close to supply pins. Series resistance in analog inputs should be minimized to avoid distortion.

Evaluation and Ordering

Evaluation boards are available for performance testing. The AD7400 is available in a 16-lead SOIC_W package, with options for different temperature ranges and compliance with RoHS standards.

The AD7400 operates from a 5 V power supply and accepts a differential input signal of ±200 mV (±320 mV full scale). The analog input is continuously sampled by the analog modulator, eliminating the need for external sample-and-hold circuitry. The input information is contained in the output stream as a density of ones with a data rate of 10 MHz. The original information can be reconstructed with an appropriate digital filter. The serial I/O can use a 5 V or a 3 V supply (VDD2). The serial interface is digitally isolated. High speed CMOS, combined with monolithic air core transformer technology, means the on-chip isolation provides outstanding performance characteristics superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices. The part contains an on-chip reference. The AD7400 is offered in a 16-lead SOIC and has an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. An external clock version, AD7401, is also available.
