GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7764 is a high performance, 24-bit sigma-delta (Σ-Δ)
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It combines wide input
bandwidth, high speed, and performance of 109 dB dynamic
range at a 312 kHz output data rate. With excellent dc
specifications, the converter is ideal for high speed data
acquisition of ac signals where dc data is also required.
Using the AD7764 eases the front-end antialias filtering
requirements, simplifying the design process significantly. The
AD7764 offers pin-selectable decimation rates of 64×, 128×,
and 256×. Other features include an integrated buffer to drive
the reference, as well as a fully differential amplifier to buffer
and level shift the input to the modulator.
An overrange alert pin indicates when an input signal has
exceeded the acceptable range. The addition of internal gain
and internal overrange registers makes the AD7764 a compact,
highly integrated data acquisition device requiring minimal
peripheral components.
The AD7764 also offers a low power mode, significantly
reducing power dissipation without reducing the output data
rate or available input bandwidth.
The differential input is sampled at up to 40 MSPS by an analog
modulator. The modulator output is processed by a series of
low-pass filters. The external clock frequency applied to the
AD7764 determines the sample rate, filter corner frequencies,
and output word rate.
The AD7764 device boasts a full band on-board FIR filter. The
full stop-band attenuation of the filter is achieved at the Nyquist
frequency. This feature offers increased protection from signals
that lie above the Nyquist frequency being aliased back into the
input signal bandwidth.
The reference voltage supplied to the AD7764 determines the
input range. With a 4 V reference, the analog input range is
±3.2768 V differential, biased around a common mode of
2.048 V. This common-mode biasing can be achieved using
the on-chip differential amplifier, further reducing the external
signal conditioning requirements.
The AD7764 is available in a 28-lead TSSOP package and is
specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +85°C.

TERMINOLOGY
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms
sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist fre-
quency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is
expressed in decibels (dB).
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental.
For the AD7764, it is defined as
( )

V
VVVVV
THD
22222
log20dB ++++
=
where:
V1 is the rms amplitude of the fundamental.
V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 are the rms amplitudes of the second
to the sixth harmonics.
Nonharmonic Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the
peak spurious spectral component, excluding harmonics.
Dynamic Range
The ratio of the rms value of the full scale to the rms noise
measured with the inputs shorted together. The value for
dynamic range is expressed in decibels.
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
fb, any active device with nonlinearities creates distortion products
at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m, n = 0,
1, 2, 3, and so on. Intermodulation distortion terms are those
for which neither m nor n is equal to 0. For example, the second-
order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa − fb), while the third-order
terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa − fb), (fa + 2fb), and (fa − 2fb).
The AD7764 is tested using the CCIF standard, where two input
frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used.
In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in
frequency from the original sine waves, and the third-order
terms are usually at a frequency close to the input frequencies.
As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified
separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is
as per the THD specification, where it is the ratio of the rms
sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude
of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in decibels.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
The maximum deviation from a straight line passing through
the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Zero Error
The difference between the ideal midscale input voltage (when
both inputs are shorted together) and the actual voltage
producing the midscale output code.
Zero Error Drift
The change in the actual zero error value due to a temperature
change of 1°C. It is expressed as a percentage of full scale at
room temperature.
Gain Error
The first transition (from 100…000 to 100…001) should occur
for an analog voltage 1/2 LSB above the nominal negative full
scale. The last transition (from 011…110 to 011…111) should
occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full
scale. The gain error is the deviation of the difference between
the actual level of the last transition and the actual level of the
first transition, from the difference between the ideal levels.
Gain Error Drift
The change in the actual gain error value due to a temperature
change of 1°C. It is expressed as a percentage of full scale at
room temperature.

Rev. A | Page 16 of 32
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD7764 features an on-chip fully differential amplifier to
feed the Σ-Δ modulator pins, an on-chip reference buffer, and
a FIR filter block to perform the required digital filtering of the
Σ-Δ modulator output. Using this Σ-Δ conversion technique
with the added digital filtering, the analog input is converted to
an equivalent digital word.
Σ-Δ MODULATION AND DIGITAL FILTERING
The input waveform applied to the modulator is sampled, and
an equivalent digital word is output to the digital filter at a rate
equal to ICLK. By employing oversampling, the quantization
noise is spread across a wide bandwidth from 0 to fICLK. This
means that the noise energy contained in the signal band of
interest is reduced (see Figure 29). To further reduce the
quantization noise, a high-order modulator is employed to
shape the noise spectrum so that most of the noise energy is
shifted out of the signal band (see Figure 30).

Figure 31. Σ-Δ ADC, Digital Filter Cutoff Frequency
The digital filtering that follows the modulator removes the
large out-of-band quantization noise (see Figure 31) while also
reducing the data rate from fICLK at the input of the filter to
fICLK/64 or less at the output of the filter, depending on the
decimation rate used.
The AD7764 employs three FIR filters in series. By using
different combinations of decimation ratios, data can be
obtained from the AD7764 at three data rates.
The first filter receives data from the modulator at ICLK MHz
where it is decimated 4× to output data at (ICLK/4) MHz. The
second filter allows the decimation rate to be chosen from
8× to 32×.
The third filter has a fixed decimation rate of 2×. Table 6 shows
some characteristics of the digital filtering where ICLK =
MCLK/2. The group delay of the filter is defined to be the delay
to the center of the impulse response and is equal to the compu-
tation plus the filter delays. The delay until valid data is available
(the FILTER-SETTLE status bit is set) is approximately twice
the filter delay plus the computation delay. This is listed in
terms of MCLK periods in Table 6.

AD7764 ANTIALIAS PROTECTION
The decimation of the AD7764, along with its counterparts in
the AD776x family, namely the AD7760, AD7762, AD7763, and
AD7765, provides top of the range antialias protection.
The decimation filter of the AD7764 features more than 115 dB
of attenuation across the full stop band, which ranges from the
Nyquist frequency, namely ODR/2, up to ICLK – ODR/2
(where ODR is the output data rate). Starting the stop band at
the Nyquist frequency prevents any signal component above
Nyquist (and up to ICLK – ODR/2) from aliasing into the
desired signal bandwidth.
Figure 32 shows the frequency response of the decimation filter
when the AD7764 is operated with a 40 MHz MCLK in
decimate × 128 mode. Note that the first stop-band frequency
occurs at Nyquist. The frequency response of the filter scales
with both the decimation rate chosen and the MCLK frequency
applied. When using low power mode, the modulator sample
rate is MCLK/4.
Taking as an example the AD7764 in normal power and in
decimate × 128 mode, the first possible alias frequency is at the
ICLK frequency minus the pass band of the digital filter (see
Figure 33).

The AD7764 requires a 4.096 V input to the reference pin,
VREF+, supplied by a high precision reference, such as the

fully differential, the effective differential reference range is
8.192 V.

This means that a maximum of ±3.2768 V p-p full-scale can be

down from full scale (−0.5 dBFS). The AD7764 modulator
inputs must have a common-mode input of 2.048 V.

ON-CHIP DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
The AD7764 contains an on-board differential amplifier that is
recommended to drive the modulator input pins. Pin 1, Pin 2,
Pin 3, and Pin 4 on the AD7764 are the differential input and
output pins of the amplifier. The external components, RIN, RFB,
CFB, CS, and RM, are placed around Pin 1 through Pin 6 to create
the recommended configuration.
To achieve the specified performance, the differential amplifier
should be configured as a first-order antialias filter, as shown in
Figure 35, using the component values listed in Table 7. The
inputs to the differential amplifier are then routed through the
external component network before being applied to the mod-
ulator inputs, VIN− and VIN+ (Pin 5 and Pin 6). Using the
optimal values in the table as an example yields a 25 dB
attenuation at the first alias point of 19.6 MHz.

1 Values shown are the acceptable tolerances for each component when
altered relative to the optimal values used to achieve the stated
specifications of the device.
The range of values for each of the components in the differ-
ential amplifier configuration is listed in Table 7. When using
the differential amplifier to gain the input voltages to the
required modulator input range, it is advisable to implement
the gain function by changing RIN and leaving RFB as the listed
optimal value.
The common-mode input at each of the differential amplifier
inputs (Pin VINA+ and Pin VINA−) can range from −0.5 V dc to
2.2 V dc. The amplifier has a constant output common-mode
voltage of 2.048 V, that is, VREF/2, the requisite common mode
voltage for the modulator input pins (VIN+ and VIN−).
Figure 36 shows the signal conditioning that occurs using the
differential amplifier configuration detailed in Table 7 with a
±2.5 V input signal to the differential amplifier. The amplifier in
this example is biased around ground and is scaled to provide
±3.168 V p-p (−0.5 dBFS) on each modulator input with a
2.048 V common mode.

The AD7765 can be configured so that the on-board differential
amplifier can be disabled and the modulator can be driven
directly using discrete amplifiers. This allows the user to lower
the power dissipation.
To power down the on board differential amplifier, the user
issues a write to set the AMP OFF bit in the control register to
logic high (see Figure 39).

The AD7764 modulator inputs must have a common-mode
voltage of 2.048 V and adhere to the amplitudes as described in
the AD7764 Input Structure section.
An example of a typical circuit to drive the AD7764 for applica-
tions requiring excellent ac and dc performance is shown in
Figure 40. Either the AD8606 or AD8656 can be used to drive
the AD7764 modulator inputs directly.
Best practice is to short the differential amplifier inputs to
ground through the typical input resistors and leave the typical
feedback resistors in place.

AD7764 INTERFACE
READING DATA
The AD7764 uses an SPI-compatible serial interface. The
timing diagram in Figure 2 shows how the AD7764 transmits its
con-version results.
The data read from the AD7764 is clocked out using the serial
clock output (SCO). The SCO frequency is half that of the
MCLK input to the AD7764.
The conversion result output on the serial data output (SDO)
line is framed by the frame synchronization output, FSO
Table 9. Status Bits During Data Read
, which
is sent logic low for 32 SCO cycles. Each bit of the new conversion
result is clocked onto the SDO line on the rising SCO edge and
is valid on the falling SCO edge. The 32-bit result consists of the
24 data bits followed by five status bits followed further by three
zeros. The five status bits are listed in Table 9 and described
below the table.

operating in low power mode. See the Power Modes

READING STATUS AND OTHER REGISTERS
The AD7764 features a gain correction register, an overrange
register, and a read-only status register. To read back the
contents of these registers, the user must first write to the
control register of the device and set the bit that corresponds to
the register to be read. The next read operation outputs the
contents of the selected register (on the SDO pin) instead of a
conversion result.
To ensure that the next read cycle contains the contents of the
register written to, the write operation to that register must be
completed a minimum of 8 × tSCO before the falling edge of FSO
The

further details.
AD7764 Registers section provides more information on
the relevant bits in the control register.
WRITING TO THE AD7764
A write operation to the AD7764 is shown in Figure 3. The
serial writing operation is synchronous to the SCO signal. The
status of the frame synchronization input, FSI, is checked on the
falling edge of the SCO signal. If the
FSI line is low, then the
first data bit on the serial data in (SDI) line is latched in on the
next SCO falling edge.
Set the active edge of the FSI signal to occur at a position when
the SCO signal is high or low to allow setup and hold times
from the SCO falling edge to be met. The width of the

signal can be set to between 1 and 32 SCO periods wide. A
second, or subsequent, falling edge that occurs before 32 SCO
periods have elapsed is ignored.
details the format for the serial data being written to
the AD7764 through the SDI pin. Thirty-two bits are required
for a write operation. The first 16 bits are used to select the
register address that the data being read is intended for. The
second 16 bits contain the data for the selected register.
Writing to the AD7764 is allowed at any time, even while
reading a conversion result. Note that, after writing to the
devices, valid data is not output until after the settling time
for the filter has elapsed. The FILTER-SETTLE status bit is
asserted at this point to indicate that the filter has settled and
that valid data is available at the output.

AD7764 FUNCTIONALITY
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SYNC input to the AD7764 provides a synchronization
function that allows the user to begin gathering samples of the
analog front-end input from a known point in time.
The SYNC function allows multiple AD7764 devices, operated
from the same master clock that use common SYNC and
RESET signals, to be synchronized so that each ADC
simultaneously updates its output register. Note that all devices
being synchro-nized must operate in the same power mode and
at the same decimation rate.
In the case of a system with multiple AD7764s, connect
common MCLK, SYNC and RESET signals to each AD7764.
The AD7764 SYNC pin is polled by the falling edge of MCLK.
The AD7764 device goes into SYNC when an MCLK falling
edge senses that the SYNC input signal is logic low. At this
point, the digital filter sequencer is reset to 0. The filter is held
in a reset state (in SYNC mode) until the first MCLK falling
edge senses SYNC
Where possible, ensure that all transitions of

synchronously with the rising edge of MCLK (that is, as far

is valid data on the SDO line by checking the FILTER-SETTLE
status bit (see D7 in Table 9) that is output with each conversion
result. The time from the rising edge of SYNC
OVERRANGE ALERTS
until the FILTER-
SETTLE bit asserts depends on the filter configuration used. See
the Theory of Operation section and the values listed in Table 6
for details on calculating the time until FILTER-SETTLE asserts.
Note that the FILTER_SETTLE bit is designed as a reactionary
flag to indicate when the conversion data output is valid.
The AD7764 offers an overrange function in both a pin and
status bit output. The overrange alerts indicate when the voltage
applied to the AD7764 modulator input pins exceeds the limit
set in the overrange register, indicating that the voltage applied
is approaching a level where the modulator will be overranged.
To set this limit, the user must program the register. The default
overrange limit is set to 80% of the VREF voltage (see the
AD7764 Registers section).
The OVERRANGE pin outputs logic high to alert the user
that the modulator has sampled an input voltage greater in
magnitude than the overrange limit as set in the overrange
register. The OVERRANGE pin is set to logic high when the
modulator samples an input above the overrange limit. After
the input returns below the limit, the OVERRANGE pin returns
to zero. The OVERRANGE pin is updated after the first FIR
filter stage. Its output changes at the ICLK/4 frequency.
The OVR status bit is output as Bit D6 on SDO during a data
conversion and can be checked in the AD7764 status register.
This bit is less dynamic than the OVERRANGE pin output. It is
updated on each conversion result output; that is, the bit changes
at the output data rate. If the modulator has sampled a voltage
input that exceeded the overrange limit during the process of
gathering samples for a particular conversion result output,
then the OVR bit is set to logic high.

POWER MODES
Low Power Mode
During power-up, the AD7764 defaults to operate in normal
power mode. There is no register write required.
The AD7764 also offers low power mode. To operate the device
in low power mode, the user sets the LPWR bit in the control
register to logic high (see Figure 43). Operating the AD7764 in
low power mode has no impact on the output data rate or
available bandwidth.

DAISY CHAINING
Daisy chaining allows numerous devices to use the same digital
interface lines. This feature is especially useful for reducing
component count and wiring connections, such as in isolated
multiconverter applications or for systems with a limited
interfacing capacity. Data readback is analogous to clocking a
shift register. When daisy chaining is used, all devices in the
chain must operate in a common power mode and at a common
decimation rate.
The block diagram in Figure 45 shows how to connect devices
to achieve daisy-chain functionality. Figure 45 shows four
AD7764 devices daisy-chained together with a common
MCLK signal applied. This can work in decimate 128× or
decimate 256× mode only.
READING DATA IN DAISY-CHAIN MODE
Referring to Figure 45, note that the SDO line of AD7764 (A)
provides the output data from the chain of AD7764 converters.
Also, note that for the last device in the chain, AD7764 (D), the
SDI pin is connected to ground. All of the devices in the chain
must use common MCLK and SYNC
To enable the daisy-chain conversion process, apply a common

SYNC
After a
pulse to all devices (see the Synchronization section).
SYNC pulse is applied to all devices, the filter settling
time must pass before the FILTER-SETTLE bit is asserted,
indicating valid conversion data at the output of the chain of
devices. As shown in Figure 46, the first conversion result is
output from the device labeled AD7764 (A). This 32-bit
conversion result is then followed by the conversion results
from the AD7764 (B), AD7764 (C), and AD7764 (D) devices
with all conversion results output in an MSB-first sequence.
The signals output from the daisy chain are the stream of
conversion results from the SDO pin of AD7764 (A) and the
FSO signal output by the first device in the chain, AD7764 (A).
The falling edge of FSO signals the MSB of the first conversion
output in the chain. FSO
The maximum number of devices that can be daisy-chained is
dependent on the decimation rate selected. Calculate the
maximum number of devices that can be daisy-chained by
simply dividing the chosen decimation rate by 32 (the number
of bits that must be clocked out for each conversion).

WRITING DATA IN DAISY-CHAIN MODE
Writing to AD7764 devices in daisy-chain mode is similar to
writing to a single device. The serial writing operation is syn-
chronous to the SCO signal. The status of the frame synchro-
nization input, FSI, is checked on the falling edge of the SCO
signal. If the
Writing data to the AD7764 in daisy-chain mode operates with
the same timing structure as writing to a single device (see
FSI line is low, then the first data bit on the serial
data in the SDI line is latched in on the next SCO falling edge.
Figure 3). The difference between writing to a single device and
writing to a number of daisy-chained devices is in the imple-
mentation of the FSI signal. The number of devices that are in
the daisy chain determines the period for which the FSI signal
must remain logic low. To write to n number of devices in the
daisy chain, the period between the falling edge of FSI and the
rising edge of FSI must be between 32 × (n − 1) to 32 × n SCO
periods. For example, if three AD7764 devices are being written
to in daisy-chain mode, FSI
The AD7764 devices can be written to at any time. The falling
edge of
is logic low for between 32 × (3 − 1)
to 32 × 3 SCO pulses. This means that the rising edge of FSI
must occur between the 64th and 96th SCO periods.
FSI overrides all attempts to read data from the SDO
pin. In the case of a daisy chain, the
FSI signal remaining logic
low for more than 32 SCO periods indicates to the AD7764
device that there are more devices further on in the chain. This
means that the AD7764 directs data that is input on the SDI pin
to its SDO pin. This ensures that data is passed to the next
device in the chain.

CLOCKING THE AD7764
The AD7764 requires an external low jitter clock source. This
signal is applied to the MCLK pin. An internal clock signal
(ICLK) is derived from the MCLK input signal. The ICLK
controls the internal operation of the AD7764. The maximum
ICLK frequency is 20 MHz. To generate the ICLK,
ICLK = MCLK/2
For output data rates equal to those used in audio systems, a
12.288 MHz ICLK frequency can be used. As shown in Table 6,
output data rates of 96 kHz and 48 kHz are achievable with this
ICLK frequency.

The input amplitude also has an effect on these jitter figures.

DECOUPLING AND LAYOUT INFORMATION
SUPPLY DECOUPLING
The decoupling of the supplies applied to the AD7764 is
important in achieving maximum performance. Each supply
pin must be decoupled to the correct ground pin with a 100 nF,
0603 case size capacitor.
Pay particular attention to decoupling Pin 7 (AVDD2) directly to
the nearest ground pin (Pin 8). The digital ground pin AGND2
(Pin 20) is routed directly to ground. Also, connect REFGND
(Pin 26) directly to ground.
The DVDD (Pin 17) and AVDD3 (Pin 28) supplies should be
decoupled to the ground plane at a point away from the device.
It is advised to decouple the supplies that are connected to the
following supply pins through 0603 size, 100 nF capacitors to a
star ground point linked to Pin 23 (AGND1):
• VREF+ (Pin 27)
• AVDD4 (Pin 25)
• AVDD1 (Pin 24)
• AVDD2 (Pin 21)
A layout decoupling scheme for these supplies, which connect
to the right side of the AD7764, is shown in Figure 51. Note the
star-point ground created at Pin 23.

A low noise reference source, such as the ADR444 or ADR434
(4.096 V), is suitable for use with the AD7764. The reference
voltage supplied to the AD7764 should be decoupled and
filtered as shown in Figure 52.
The recommended scheme for the reference voltage supply is a
200 Ω series resistor connected to a 100 μF tantalum capacitor,
followed by a 10 nF decoupling capacitor very close to the
VREF+ pin.

DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER COMPONENTS
The components recommended for use around the on-chip
differential amplifier are detailed in Table 7. Matching the
components on both sides of the differential amplifier is
important to minimize distortion of the signal applied to the
amplifier. A tolerance of 0.1% or better is required for these
components. Symmetrical routing of the tracks on both sides
of the differential amplifier also assists in achieving stated
performance. Figure 53 shows a typical layout for the com-
ponents around the differential amplifier. Note that the traces
for both differential paths are made as symmetrical as possible
and that the feedback resistors and capacitors are placed on the
underside of the PCB to enable the simplest routing.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Whereas using the correct components is essential to achieve
optimum performance, the correct layout is equally as
important. The AD7764 product page on www.analog.com
contains the Gerber files for the AD7764 evaluation board. The
Gerber files should be used as a reference when designing any
system using the AD7764.
The use of ground planes should be carefully considered. To
ensure that the return currents through the decoupling
capacitors are flowing to the correct ground pin, the ground
side of the capacitors should be as close to the ground pin
associated with that supply, as recommended in the Supply
Decoupling section.

Data can then be read from the device using the default gain
and overrange threshold values. The conversion data read is not
valid, however, until the settling time of the filter has elapsed.
Once this has occurred, the FILTER-SETTLE status bit is set,
indicating that the data is valid.
Values for gain and overrange thresholds can be written to or
read from the respective registers at this stage.
pulse is taken low for a
minimum of four MCLK periods.
BIAS RESISTOR SELECTION
The AD7764 requires a resistor to be connected between the
RBIAS and AGNDx pins. The resistor value should be selected to
give a current of 25 µA through the resistor to ground. For a
4.096 V reference voltage, the correct resistor value is 160 kΩ.

AD7764 REGISTERS
The AD7764 has a number of user-programmable registers. The control register is used to set the functionality of the on-chip buffer and
differential amplifier and provides the option to power down the AD7764. There are also digital gain and overrange threshold registers.
Writing to these registers involves writing the register address followed by a 16-bit data-word. The register addresses, details of individual
bits, and default values are provided in this section.

14 RD OVR 1, 2 Read overrange. If this bit is set, the next read operation outputs the contents of the overrange threshold register
instead of a conversion result.
13 RD GAIN Read gain. If this bit is set, the next read operation outputs the contents of the digital gain register.
11 RD STAT Read status. If this bit is set, the next read operation outputs the contents of the status register.
9 SYNC Synchronize. Setting this bit initiates an internal synchronization routine. Setting this bit simultaneously on multiple
devices synchronizes all filters.
7 BYPASS REF Bypass reference. Setting this bit bypasses the reference buffer if the buffer is off.
3 PWR DOWN Power-down. A logic high powers the device down without resetting. Writing a 0 to this bit powers the device back up.
2 LPWR Low power mode. Set to Logic 1 when AD7764 is in low power mode.
1 REF BUF OFF Reference buffer off. Asserting this bit powers down the reference buffer.
0 AMP OFF Amplifier off. Asserting this bit switches the differential amplifier off.
1 Bit 14 to Bit 11 and Bit 9 are self-clearing bits.
2 Only one of the bits can be set in any write operation because it determines the contents of the next read operation.

GAIN REGISTER—ADDRESS 0x0004
Non-Bit-Mapped, Default Value 0xA000
The gain register is scaled such that 0x8000 corresponds to a
gain of 1.0. The default value of this register is 1.25 (0xA000).
This results in a full-scale digital output when the input is at
80% of VREF+, tying in with the maximum analog input range of
±80% of VREF+ p-p.
OVERRANGE REGISTER—ADDRESS 0x0005
Non-Bit-Mapped, Default Value 0xCCCC
The overrange register value is compared with the output of the
first decimation filter to obtain an overload indication with
minimum propagation delay. This is prior to any gain scaling.
The default value is 0xCCCC, which corresponds to 80% of
VREF+ (the maximum permitted analog input voltage). Assuming
VREF+ = 4.096 V, the bit is then set when the input voltage exceeds
approximately 6.55 V p-p differential. The over-range bit is set
immediately if the analog input voltage exceeds 100% of VREF+
for more than four consecutive samples at the modulator rate.
