Both Channels
The operation of the AUX channel is identical to the Main
channel with the exception that there is no PGA on the AUX
channel. The input chopping is incorporated into the input
multiplexer while the output chopping is accomplished by an
XOR gate at the output of the modulator. The chopped modu-
lator bit stream is applied to a Sinc
3
filter. The programming of
the Sinc
3
decimation factor is restricted to an 8-bit register SF,
the actual decimation factor is the register value times 8. The
decimated output rate from the Sinc
3
filter (and the ADC con-
version rate) will therefore be:

where
f

is the ADC update rate.
SF
is the decimal equivalent of the word loaded to the
filter register.
f
MOD
is the modulator sampling rate of 32.768 kHz.
Programming the filter register determines the update rate for
both the main and aux ADC. Both ADCs operate with the same
update rate.
The chop rate of the channel is half the output data rate.
The frequency response of the filter H (f) is as follows:

The following shows plots of the filter frequency response for
the SF words shown in Table I. The overall frequency response
is the product of a Sinc

is the respective channel
offset. This offset is removed by performing a running average
of 2. This average by 2 means that the settling time to any change
in programming of the ADC will be twice the normal conversion
time, while an asynchronous step change on the analog input will
not be fully reflected until the third subsequent output.

The allowable range for SF is 13 to 255, with a default of 69
(45H). The corresponding conversion rates, conversion times
and settling times are tabulated in Table I. Note that the con-
version time increases by 0.732 ms for each increment in SF.

Normal-mode rejection is the major function of the digital filter
on the AD7719. The normal mode 50
±
1 Hz rejection with an SF
word of 82 is typically
–
100 dB. The 60
±
1 Hz rejection with
SF = 68 is typically
–
100 dB. Simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz
rejection of better than 60 dB is achieved with an SF of 69.
Choosing an SF word of 69 places notches at both 50 Hz and
60 Hz. Figures 6 to 9 show the filter rejection for a selection
of SF words.
