The output settling of the AD7701 in response to a step input
change is shown in Figure 12. The Gaussian response has fast
settling with no overshoot, and the worst-case settling time to
clock frequency.
USING THE AD7701
SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The AD7701 operates differently from successive approxima-
tion ADCs or other integrating ADCs. Since it samples the sig-
nal continuously, like a tracking ADC, there is no need for a
start convert command. The 16-bit output register is updated at
a 4 kHz rate, and the output can be read at any time, either syn-
chronously or asynchronously.
CLOCKING
The AD7701 requires a master clock input, which may be an
external TTL/CMOS compatible clock signal applied to the
CLKIN pin (CLKOUT not used). Alternatively, a crystal of the
correct frequency can be connected between CLKIN and
CLKOUT, when the clock circuit will function as a crystal-
controlled oscillator.

The input sampling frequency, output data rate, filter character-
istics and calibration time are all directly related to the master
clock frequency f
table. Therefore, the first step in system design with the
AD7701 is to select a master clock frequency suitable for the
bandwidth and output data rate required by the application.
ANALOG INPUT RANGES
The AD7701 performs conversion relative to an externally
supplied reference voltage, which allows easy interfacing to
ratiometric systems. In addition, either unipolar or bipolar input
voltage range may be selected using the BP/UP input. With BP/
UP tied low, the input range is unipolar and the span is 0 to
+V
span is V
full scale are directly determined by V
tracking of positive and negative full scale and better midscale
(bipolar zero) stability than bipolar schemes that simply scale
and offset the input range.
The digital output coding for the unipolar range is Unipolar
Binary; for the bipolar range it is Offset Binary. Bit weights for
the unipolar and bipolar modes are shown in Table I. The input
voltages and output codes for unipolar and bipolar ranges, using
the recommended +2.5 V reference, are shown in Table II.
