Mode Register (A3, A2, A1, A0 = 0, 0, 0, 1; Power-On-Reset = 00 Hex)
The Mode Register is an 8-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register configures the
operating modes of the AD7719. Table XII outlines the bit designations for the Mode Register. MR7 through MR0 indicate the bit
location, MR denoting the bits are in the Mode Register. MR7 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in brackets indi-
cates the power-on/reset default status of that bit.

Reserved for Future Use.
Configures the Main ADC for buffered or unbuffered mode of operation. If
set,
the Main ADC
operates in unbuffered mode, lowering the power consumption of the AD7719. If
cleared,
the
Main ADC operates in buffered mode allowing the user to place source impedances on the front end
without contributing gain errors to the system.
Reserved for Future Use.
Channel Configure Bit. If this bit is
set
, the Main ADC operates with three pseudo-differential input
channels and the AUX ADC does not have AIN3/AIN4 as an input option. If
cleared,
the Main
ADC operates with two fully differential input channels and the aux channel operates as one fully
differential input and two single-ended inputs or three single-ended inputs.
Oscillator Power-Down Bit.
If this bits is
set
, placing the AD7719 in standby mode will stop the crystal oscillator, reducing the
power drawn by the AD7719 to a minimum. The oscillator will require 300 ms to begin oscillating
when the ADC is taken out of standby mode. If this bit is
cleared,
the oscillator is not shut off when
the ADC is put into standby mode and will not require the 300 ms start-up time when the ADC is
taken out of standby.
Main and Aux ADC Mode Bits.
These bits select the operational mode of the enabled ADC as follows:

Power-Down Mode (Power-On Default).
The current sources, power switches, and PLL are shut off in power-down mode.
Idle Mode.
In Idle Mode the ADC filter and modulator are held in a reset state although the modulator clocks
are still provided.
Single Conversion Mode.
In Single Conversion Mode, a single conversion is performed on the enabled channels. On completion
of the conversion the ADC data registers are updated, the relevant flags in the STATUS register are
written and idle mode is entered with the MD2
–
MD0 being written accordingly to 001.
Continuous Conversion.
In continuous conversion mode the ADC data registers are regularly updated at the selected update
rate (see Filter register)
Internal Zero-Scale Calibration.
Internal short automatically connected to the enabled channel(s). Returns to Idle mode (001) when
complete.
Internal Full-Scale Calibration.
External V
REF
is connected automatically to the ADC input for this calibration. Returns to idle mode
when complete.
System Zero-Scale Calibration.
User should connect system zero-scale input to the channel input pins as selected by CH1/CH0 and
ACH1/ACH0 bits in the control registers.
System Full-Scale Calibration.
User should connect system full-scale input to the channel input pins as selected by CH1/CH0 and
ACH1/ACH0 bits in the control registers.
