Description
Burnout Current Bit. A 1 in this bit activates the burnout currents. When active, the burnout currents
connect to the selected analog input pair, one source current to the AIN(+) input and one sink current to
the AIN(–) input. A 0 in this bit turns off the on-chip burnout currents.
CH1–CH0
Channel Selection Bits. These bits select the analog input channel to be converted or calibrated as
outlined in Table XIII. With CH1 at 1 and CH0 at 0, the part looks at the AIN1(–) input internally
shorted to itself. This can be used as a test method to evaluate the noise performance of the part with
no external noise sources. In this mode, the AIN1(–) input should be connected to an external voltage
within the allowable common-mode range of the part. The Offset and Gain Calibration Registers on
the part are paired. There are three pairs of calibration registers labelled Register Pair 0 through Regis-
ter Pair 2. These are assigned to the input channel pairs as outlined in Table XIII.

Filter Register (RS2-RS0 = 0, 1, 1); Power-On/Reset Status: 200010 Hex
The Filter Register is a 24-bit register from which data can be read or to which data can be written. This register determines the
amount of averaging performed by the filter and the mode of operation of the filter. It also sets the chopping mode and the delay
associated with chopping the inputs. Table XIV outlines the bit designations for the Filter Register. FR0 through FR23 indicate the
bit location, FR denoting the bits are in the Filter Register. FR23 denotes the first bit of the data stream. The number in brackets
indicates the power-on/reset default status of that bit. Figure 5 shows a flowchart for reading from the registers on the AD7730 and
Figure 6 shows a flowchart for writing to the registers on the part.

Description
Sinc3 Filter Selection Bits. The AD7730 contains two filters: a sinc3 filter and an FIR filter. The 12 bits
programmed to SF11 through SF0 set the amount of averaging the sinc3 filter performs. As a result,
the number programmed to these 12 bits affects the –3 dB frequency and output update rate from the
part (see Filter Architecture section). The allowable range for SF words depends on whether the part
is operated with CHOP on or off and SKIP on or off. Table XV outlines the SF ranges for different
setups. All output update rates will be one-half those quoted in Table XV for the AD7730L operating
with a 2.4576 MHz clock.
