Transfer Functions
For the unipolar range the designed code transitions occur
midway between successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB,
3/2 LSBs, 5/2 LSBs . . . FS
–
3/2 LSBs). The output coding is
straight binary for the unipolar range with 1

. The ideal input/
output transfer characteristic for the unipolar range is shown in
Figure 14.

Input Ranges
The analog input range for the AD7854/AD7854L is 0 V to
V
REF
in both the unipolar and bipolar ranges.
The only difference between the unipolar range and the bipolar
range is that in the bipolar range the AIN(
–
) should be biased
up to at least +V
REF
/2 and the output coding is twos comple-
ment (see Table V and Figures 14 and 15).

Note that the AIN(
–
) pin on the AD7854/AD7854L can be
biased up above AGND in the unipolar mode, or above V
REF
/2
in bipolar mode if required. The advantage of biasing the lower
end of the analog input range away from AGND is that the analog
input does not have to swing all the way down to AGND. Thus,
in single supply applications the input amplifier does not have to
swing all the way down to AGND. The upper end of the analog
input range is shifted up by the same amount. Care must be
taken so that the bias applied does not shift the upper end of the
analog input above the AV
DD
supply. In the case where the ref-
erence is the supply, AV
DD
, the AIN(
–
) should be tied to AGND
in unipolar mode or to AV
DD
/2 in bipolar mode.
